The Slave Boy

chapter 1

enjoyyyyy my children.
------------------------------------------------------

Growing up in a small town was hard enough. Everywhere you turn theres always the same faces expecting the same thing from you. Precise movements, No slouching, Perfect speech, and above all Manners that could out due a queen.

Alot was asked of Angelica growing up. She had been raised by the highest of people in there town. Her dad being at the top controlling trade and other important things.

With her being there only daughter she had to represent both her parents at every gathering, Every town meeting and everything in between.

She was, As many say, the towns jewel. Her hair was a perfect shade of blonde with loose curls that went down above her butt. Her cheek bones raised. She has a natural blush in her cheeks and rarely had to wear make up. She was absolutely stunning, And as years passed her body seemed to improve also. Curves formed and took place evenly around her.

The most alluring thing about her though was her eyes. Her dad had blue and her mom did also, But her came out a glistening green color. Her lips plump and a very nice shade of pink.

Angelica was not only beautiful she also was talented. Art was her number one favorite and shed always planned on being a architect when she grew up.

Her father owned quite a number of slaves because of his wide space of land. At the moment he was talking to his buddys about his luck on the big plot of land during a small gathering they where holding to celebrate her fathers struck of oil a couple of days back.

Angelica looked down smoothing her small dress out and making sure her bun stayed in place. Keeping her chin up she glanced around the room watching as everyone smiled and talked calmly with eachother.

Suddenly she was called by her father making her plaster on her almost painfully wide smile and walk over to him and his drooling friend.

"yes, daddy?" She starred at him directly not wanting to make contact with the men around her. She felt naked at there gazes. They where, in fact, stripping her naked in there heads she was sure of it.

"Sweetie, Meet alfred hes been helping with the trade business we have! Without his help I dont know where we'd be!" She smiled and looked at the man her father was referring to. The man tall and older looking gave her his outstretched hand to shake.

"Nice to finally meet you darling." He bent to give her a kiss on the top of her hand making her mentally roll her eyes. Men these days.

"Ive heard so much about you. Your pops quite the bragger you know?" He winked and my dad laughed loudly. "You know me, Always have to talk about my precious little girl. Isnt that correct?" She let out a small laugh and nodded pretending to be intrested in the conversation.

They continued the conversation to politics when suddenly Alfred stumbled onto a conversation that she became very interested in. "So Mr.Rose I heard you lost one of your best slaves a couple of weeks back?" Angelica bit her bottom lip holding back tears. Robert had been one of the slaves that had stayed with them since she was young. She was very fond of him. He told her storys and was like a second dad to her. He has passed away a week ago due to a very bad sickness.

"Yes, he went ill awhile back. Got worse over time. Angelica was very fond of the old man. He sure helped me through some times."

Alfred shook his head "Im very sorry, Well I was wondering if you'd come with me Tomorrow in the early morning to the auction they are holding in the town square. Ive been told there is a new shipment of slaves coming from Rhode island. They also seem like quite a good selection. Great for the outdoors. wouldnt you agree?" Angelica perked up at the conversation. All the way from rhode island? wow!

"Hmmm, Maybe I could go check it out. I do need my hands on my land. It would help." She shook her head. More poor people coming to exhauste themselves. Angelica wasnt very fond of slavery, But what could she do? Immediately she thought. Who will replace Robert? She had never been to such auction because she didnt like watching people being sold. This time seemed differnt though Rhode island ment new faces.

"Daddy! May I come along?" she questioned and both men turned to her. "Honey, I dont know. Some of the slaves are very dangerous its best that you stay here."

She frowned "Daddy, please I want to be here when you pick out whos going to replace robert. He was very close to me if you dont remember. Ill only watch. Please daddy!" Yes she begged like a spoiled brat, but hey it got the job done.

Alfred laughed and spoke. "Let the girl go! It would be great experience for her!" She nodded silently thanking Alfred for his help. Her dad let out a sigh, "Fine, Now its getting late. Go clean up and head to bed the partys mostly over and if you want to come you most be ready early!"

She nodded checking the time. Goodness! 10 minutes till 10:00pm. She went to her room happily as there indoor slave Mrs. Mary ran her a bath.

She ran into the bathroom just as Mrs. Mary was setting her night clothes down for her. "Oh my Mary! You would never be able to guess where im going tomorrow?!" Mrs. Mary smiled and chuckled lightly. "where this time Miss. Rose? Another one of your crazy adventures?" Mrs. mary was a short little mixed woman she was older but still beautiful never the less. She had a connection to her just as she did Robert. They where both people she would come to.

"Im going to one of Fathers grand auctions. Now you know i dont prefer these type of outings ,but there getting a group from rhode island! isnt that exciting?" Mrs. mary put her hands on her hips.

"Mr.Rose is getting some more! You'd think hed have enough by now." Mrs. Mary frowned

"I know Mary ,but it is still very exciting to have some new faces in town dont you think?" She began to strip out of her clothes and slip into the bath.

"yes, I suppose it is. Now hurry and get to bed. Ill be in the sitting room." Mrs. Mary left and Angelica took her hair out of the bun and quickly washed it. soaking herself in lavender and multiple other scents. Drying off she put on her night clothes and slipped into bed.

She smirked as she thought of the day to come. Little did she know how much of a big impact it would have on her.
