That's it for today
Day 1 on a dreadful journey
3 days later in a Portuguese cargo ship carrying over 1,000 slaves taken from Ghana, Africa
Ekon
(Why is it so cold in the morning?)
He completely opened his eyes and was in utter shock
He was in a row of other people chained together by The hands
he was stripped of most of his clothes and thrown into the lower deck of a ship filled with hundreds of people like him, taken from their homes forcefully
Audre
Ekon...Ekon are u awake?
Ekon
Audre what's going on?*try moving around*
Audre
U can't..... u.. u were chained to a person who just died
He just blankly looked at the Little dead girl beside him then a dreadful thought struck his mind
Ekon
Adah... sis where's Adah?! *crying*
Audre
Ekon.... calm down don't shout *teary eyes*
Ekon
How can i calm down when my sister is dead!! *shout*
Audre
*Scared* Ekon please don't
The metal doors of the confined room creaked open revealing two angry soldiers
Audre
(Oh no) *even more scared*
Portuguese soldier 2
Ur the boy i knocked out, *spit on his face* ur so week that u slept for 3 days
At this point everyone around had tried their best to move away in fear despite the chains binding them together
Portuguese soldier 2
*kick his stomach*
Portuguese soldier 2
Useless brat
The both soldiers beat him up ruthlessly
Audre couldn't do anything but worry for her brother, because a similar situation happened the day before
The dead girl tried to resist and was beaten half to death, when the soldiers were done beating her, Audre started complaining which irritated the soldiers hence the soldiers took it out on the little girl
If she tried defending her brother he would just be killed, it was better for Him to get a half beating rather than killed right before her eyes
Portuguese soldier 2
Tch.... let's leave him, I don't wanna dirty my hands anymore
Ekon
*Bleading from all over his body*
Ekon was having a hard time breathing plus all the bleading he couldn't stay conscious so he passed out
