Underground Railroad
I had just been whipped. I can remember it all to well. The master had always been nice to me but now he was being different. His wife had gone away a few months ago and he had used me to be his belly warmer. I was then carrying his child and he still had the nerve to beat me. That day he was angry he found me lying in my quarters and he was mad because I wasn't out in the field doing all the work that I was supposed to. I had one of my friends cover for me because I was feeling pretty bad. He had gone out to the filed to look for me and couldn't find me. His wife was out of town again so I knew what he was coming for. He had whipped me and then told me to stay there he would be back. I knew that I had to run I had to protect my child and me. I tried to get up the first time, but it hurt to bad. The second time I got up trying to ignore the pain. I succeeded and then I went up to the kitchen.

He said that I was one of his best slaves and that our baby would need me. I was scared what would happen to my child without it's mother in the world and wondered if the master would take care of it. I got up and was going to run again but the master was at my door and stayed there all night. His said my punishment was to live those months thinking that I would die once our baby was brought into this world. When I had the baby the master took it away. I looked up at the master and asked what he was going to do. I waited there for him to come back I knew that he would.
