• "Belle! Belle you hear me!" he said. I ran into my room where I see lieing down on the floor. Suddenly his hand went smack across my face. I fell to the ground. I didn't weep or nothing. I just got back up and rubbed my face. "Im sorry Massa." I said looking down. There was a moment of silence. I looked up to see what was taking so long for a response. I saw him with a smile on his face like he was up to no good. I clutched my seashell charm close to my chest. My heart was beating faster and faster each time he stepped toward me. Boom-Boom, Boom-Boom, my heart went. I began to sweat real hard like those men do in the fields when they work. I took a few steps backwards so he wouldn't be able to reach me. "Ayyy, Don't be like that Belle! I just wanna...have a little fun witcha..that's all." said Master Jameson. "Hehehe!!!" he laughed. That mean, nasty laugh. "Please, massa..please!" I screamed as I ran to the corner of my cabin. I dropped my charm and protected myself with my hands. "Come here." he said as he bagan to rip the clothes off me. "Stop! Please, Stop!!" I screamed as I tried to break loose. It was no use. He was too strong for me. "Shut-up, girl! You want somebody to hear ya' ?" he said while gripping my arm tightly. My skirt came off and right then and they're, he exhibited himself to me. I couldn't move. He had me cornered. I couldn't break away. His hands ran up my leg and on my genital. I was afraid as ever. I just froze and that was it. This was something that haunted me ever since.
    "Belle, where you beenall these nights? We were all waitin' n' waitin' fo you gurl!" said Tessie. Tessie is my friend and we promised to be together and never part. We are like sisters. I didn't say nothing. I just looked down. Like I usually do. "Well? is you'se gon say somethin' now?" she said. I kept looking down. "Uh...I was tired so I'se just went ta bed..." I said and walked along back to the kitchen. I felt sick. And my body was weak. I fell to the floor and my body was shaken. I got back up and just then I threw up all on the clean floor. I lie down in it and just stayed there. "Belle?" she said coming closer and closer. "Belle!" she screamed as she ran to my rescue and next thing I knew, I was in bed. "What happened?" I said just waking up. "You just passed out." Tessie said wiping my forehead. "You feelin' better, baby?" said Missy. Missy was like a mother to me...except she wasn't. My mother had been sold to another plantation. "Yes..I am but I've been feelin' like this for a long time." I said. "Like what?" Missy said. "Tired all da time, throwin' up, hungry." I said while breathing slowly. "Well there's only one reason why that's been happening, Belle" Missy said shamefully. "What?" I said curiously. "You havin' a baby." said Missy while looking down and shaking her head.
