When Dreams Are Made I’m Afraid We Might Sink
Chapter 8For hours after the men left, Nancy was still curled up at a corner in the cabin. She had lost track of time but she knew it was over hours. Victory lay curled in a ball at her feet, she had managed to get up and feed the poor little kitten. She still felt sorry for the way the lousy Luppet had kicked the cat, not like she had a say in the matter, the knot in her chest grew tighter by the minute. They had no regard for women, or blacks for that matter. And she was here, a black young woman, surrounded by men, a group of white slave traders, in search of a woman to satisfy their urges. Nancy had never felt so helpless, how long was she going to keep her disguise? What if Sir Roberts decided to spill? And what had he said about selling her off at the gates? He had said he'll think about it, and by God he would. Every single person on the ship knew what the gates meant, it was their worst nightmare and fear. The place where people were priced and auctioned like pieces of fish
When Dreams Are Made I want You As A Man Wants A Woman
Chapter 9For Nancy, the weeks slipped by really fast, it was like the flight of a butterfly. She had no awareness of the time, spending most of the days in the cabin. She knew that three weeks had gone by already since that started sailing only because she had asked Sir Roberts. She spent most part of the day in the cabin, with Victory being her only companion during the day and Sir Roberts during the night. Over the weeks, the bond between her and Sir Roberts had grown rapidly, it was almost like he was a friend turned brother. After the last night they had the conversation about Luppet, Sir Roberts had not tried to touch or even do anything inappropriate to her. He had even grown to love Victory like his own. When they did not have visitors in the cabin, they would both chat away for most part of the night. It was magical to Nancy, how two people from completely different races could get along so well, it would have been even better if he was a girl. She was convinced they would
When Dreams Are Made A fire in her paradise
Fire in paradiseChapter 10Maybe it was a stupid mistake, running off like that. But there was no way she would be able to take living with Sir Roberts in the same cabin again after what transpired between them that morning. What if he decides to switch on her and hand her back to his lusty friends to do with her as they please? Or what if he decides to damn all odds and take her against her will? Never! She was never going to live to see that day, when a lilly livered man would use her body for his useless pleasure or sell her off as a piece of clothe? Victory's cry of hunger brought her thoughts back to reality. She stared down at the cat with pitiable eyes, they had been walking for hours, she was sure they left the cabin around morning, but right now, she couldn't tell what time it was but she could tell it was evening. The kitten was hungry by now, they had both not eaten a thing after the early breakfast they had all had that morning. "I'm sorry baby, I know you are hungry. M
When Dreams Are Made To the master
Chapter 11Nancy was rudely awakened when the good woman burst into the room that morning. "Wake up! Wake up, child, before she returns and finds you here"Just then, the front door opened again and Anna burst into the room too, Nancy raised her head and saw that Victory was no longer beside her. Then she looked at the stern, hard faced woman standing by the bed and shot her a look of contempt. She wondered what the woman would do if she attacked her. She would probably run off screaming to the entire village that the cursed black magician had tried to kill her and she had narrowly escaped, she looked around and saw Mirabel staring curiously at her too, Nancy was yet to learn whether or not she had need to be wary of the child, was she like her mother or her aunt? She would never know."Be quick, child, go and dress yourself," The good woman continued, handing Nancy a rough woolen shift. "This place is not safe for you, the men from yesterday are everywhere now. They seem very convin
When Dreams Are Made Caught in questions
Chapter 12Nancy was lifted roughly into the canoe by one of the men, another one was sent out by the older man to inform the others that the Lady had been captured so they should return immediately. The old man and the younger fellow with him did not wait for the other men to join them, the younger man pushed the canoe into the river with Nancy and the old man in it and jumped into it to paddle away. The chill morning breeze played with Nancy's features, she reached out and let her hair loose, it flew in the breeze and must have brushed the younger man's face because he turned his head to her and gave her a warning look, Nancy paid him no mind and just stared into the water ahead."What is that with you and why do you have it?" The younger man who was glaring at her asked Nancy in a contemptuous tone. Nancy said nothing and just continued looking at the water, the man reached out and opened the sac containing Victory to reveal its head. Sensing the rough handling and the tension, w
When Dreams Are Made A fire before the flowers
Chapter 13It was not just the gate, the fence of this place spread wide across the lands around it, Nancy looked in awe as they approached the mighty spread before her. She peaked around to be sure she memorized the landscapes, but how could one master all of these wonderful spreads of property? And who could own such a house in a stretch? Maybe it was another community, for whatever lay behind these walls had to be another city, it was too big to be just one house. As they approached the mighty gate, she sighted men outside there, with most of them with swords and others with crossed bows and arrows, Nancy gasped. Were they preparing for a war? She would soon find out.Soon, the horses halted in front of the massive gate, even taller now that they were near, the armed men approached Nancy and her company, they inspected the horses and came back in front of the other men. "You had no trouble bringing the lady then?" One man asked Salem after inspecting and realizing they were all a
When Dreams Are Made An early dinner
Chapter 14Nancy was allowed to sleep the whole afternoon away, she was surprised when she woke up to find Rosey still in the room. She blinked a few times before she could finally come to terms with her surroundings and in alarm, she immediately reached out to find Victory, who had been waiting patiently for her to wake. Victory ran to her and sniffed her immediately she saw her eyes open, Nancy smiled and rubbed the animal's fur teasingly. "You waited up for Mama, ehh" She said playfully, the animal meowed in response. "I greet you, My Lady" Rosey greeted from where she stood at the far end of the bed.Nancy grunted, for a split second she had imagined she was dreaming this whole castle and estate up. How her life had switched from a normal African girl to a rich English Lord's bride was still a mystery to her, it was something to marvel at"I suppose you have been waiting for me to wake up, then?""I was instructed to, My lady. You had nothing to eat before sleeping" The maid rep
When Dreams Are Made No escaping
Chapter 15"You have been sitting there for hours now, it's about time we get back with the rest of the men." Derek ignored his friend and threw another pebble into the lake. He had been doing that for hours but even his mind was absent. His thoughts were in disarray, he could swear he was lost, losing his mind and worst would happen if nothing was done to save him… from whatever was awaiting him at home."Come on man, you don't plan on ignoring me again, do you?" Derek scoffed, "Can't you tell when a man needs to be left alone?" "How can a girl like me know that, ehh?" Harvey replied sarcastically. Derek eyed his friend, "This is not time for your dry jokes, you should just go away" Harvey ignored him and took a seat beside him on the spot. He took one pebble and threw it into the lake as well. They both watched the bubble that formed as the pebble sank in, Derek threw the next, a fish leapt out of the water and dived back into the water. "So, how long do you intend to run away
