Ada POV
It was the last month of this year for auction day,and we we're already lined up and ready to be sold. I would always sit where my mom once use to. Just to feel closer to her,and in a way it worked. Jordan understood though,because he would always sit where him and his best friend Clear would sit. I tried not to let the fact that he might be way more in love with her than he thinks he is bother me to much. But it's really hard.
As the Auction started I just sat there and watched the same scene that I've been seeing for years now. People crying for their love ones when the got sold,the whipping of the slaves that refused to be sold but either got sold anyway or killed. And the same grimmy nasty men buying little girls just so they can have their way with them.
But little did I know that this year's auction was gonna change so drastically.
"ADA SMITH IS THE PERFECT SLAVE FOR YOU!!",Ricky yelled through the mic. My head shot up at the sound of my name. I looked at Ricky who was giving me such an evil smile,than I looked at the man who I was sold to. He wasn't ugly,he had dark brown hair and green eyes to go with it. But I didn't care for all that,I was sure he would be a creep and or abuser. I turned to look at Jordan with tears in my eyes.
This can't be happening, they can not split my friends and I up.
He looked scared,hurt and angry all at once. But like always his anger won over everything.
"She's not going with him Ricky,she's not going!",Jordan yelled standing up boldly.
"Yes I believe that the girl will be staying,or we'll be leaving with her,"Amare stood up as well.
Everyone one board gasped at their out burst. Because everyone knew that that kind of disrespect came with a price. And that's a death worst than being whipped until you bleed to your death or being being thrown over board. Ricky chuckled.
"I've been waiting to get rid of you for a long time boy",he directed towards Jordan. Completely ignoring Amare. Some guards came and dragged me off the floor.
"No!,stop,let me go,let go of me",I said hitting one of them. The second one slapped me down allowing the first one picked me up again and to continue dragging me.
Jordan POV
I was so piss watching them hit her like that. But before I could do anything two guards were already holding me down.
"I'll take him too",the white guy said out of the blue.
"I'll take all three actually,so I'll take him as well", he said pointing at Amare. I looked up at him with a deadly glare. But I saw that it made Ada stop crying and her eyes held hope again.
"No,you can't have Jordan,I have a bone to pick with him",Ricky said walking my way.
"I'll pay you double"the man said taking out two bags of silver.
Ricky stopped and thought about it for few seconds before he turned back around.
"Fine!",he yelled walking back and taking the money. He was pissed as he watched the guards take the shackles and chains off me and Amare. We both were escorted towards Ada and the buyer.
A few hours later.......
It was dark now and we were finally free from that horrible cramped up boat. But now we were about to be thrown in the hot sun and slaved for hours. My mom tried her best to prepare me for this moment. But am still not ready to be so horribly abused for being darker than everybody else. I didn't want to live like this and I didn't want this kind of life for myself Amare and Ada especially. I looked down at her and kissed her forehead that she had resting on my chest. She was so beautiful, she was my best friend. She and Amare were the only family I have right now. And I refuse to let anyone tear us apart like how they did Clear and I.
