Pov #2; A runaway's point of view.

Today I planned my escape away from here. In the mourning while we are working, I will see through the forest, & look where to run. I can't help my children, it hurts. For the next few days I will plan my escape. I will run until I have reached a far end, and hopefully the will not catch me. I have seen what happens to slaves that run away, they whip you the first time. If you run away a second time they brand an "R" in one of your cheeks. Then the third time they brand another "R" in other cheek. If you are a male you will be castraighted the fourth time. It all frightens me. What if I don't get away, I don't want to go through the pain of what will happen if they catch me. So i'll run for my life, and hope that there victious hands don't get a hold of me. I am detested of the screams I hear each day of slaves who break free, It sickens me. I am only 15 year old, I do not deserve this. They treat everybody so horribly. For work I go into the fields while shackled, and pick cotton. I concealed my plan through my head, I can't write it down without my master finding it. My skills are quite competitive, I am almost the only who has all ten of the fingers. My master under estimate me, I am a fast runner. I ran away, far away. They couldn't catch me, im free at last. I started running until I couldn't run anymore, my master shot at me, buy didn't get me. A train was passing, I wen't on it. The old man let me go on, and soon I got off to a place I didn't reconize, I thought my master couldn't find me at. I was afriad people would turn me in, back to my master. I found a man, who took me in as his own. I never thought that would happen. He and his family were too battling with slavery. I became there own. I was so grateful to the man I wanted to give him something, but I didn't have anything to give him. Soon we all got dicovered. & we all got sent back, to that wrenched place.
