Hey My Kawaii~Panda Bears!! I just wanted to show you one of my older short stories... MIND YOU. There are a bunch of errors and plot holes that I am aware of. Oh, and the little girl (Jaeanne) is supposed to be me *eyeroll* so yeah 😛 Enjoy~
******************************

A little girl kicked and screamed as a white man pulled her away from her dying mother. "LET ME GO!!!" she screamed as she thrashed violently in his arms. Her mother's dull eyes met her vibrant ones. The child barely heard her whisper, "Do your best in everything Jaeanne..." with that Jaeanne was silenced. Her curly black hair shaded her eyes as she allowed the man to put her in chains. After walking for hours through dry and hot lands Jaeanne could smell the salty sea. She looked up to see hundreds of others who were in the same situation. As she looked around, Jaeanne saw some of the largest boats she had ever seen. Eyes wide and spirits nearly lifted, she was shoved into the dark and smelly boat, which was where she would be staying for the next three months. 

**3 months later on the ports of South Carolina****

Jaeanne's rusty chains scraped against her swollen ankles, the tight ropes around her wrists were slowly but surely leaving scars as she was forced to walk through the putrid smelling port. As she walked Jaeanne was getting quite the amount of attention. People were not used to seeing others with tan skin, here you were either black or white. When they reached a fenced area, Jaeanne and many others were pushed harshly inside. Outside the fence men grinned at her with their yellow teeth, their foul odor invading her nose and their fat fingers twitching. 'Why am I here? Who are all these people? What will happen to me?'Jaeanne's entire being shook in fear, being only five years old she was already experiencing the harshness of this world. Her palms were sweaty,knees weak, and her eyes darted in every direction.

 Suddenly the wooden gates swung open and a pair of large dark hands grabbed her. The older slave looked down at her, "They're just getting younger and younger..." he said pitifully, remembering when he was captured and taken to America. He quickly looked away from the innocent girl and hopped unto his horse. Jaeanne just kept her head down and mouth shut. 'Maybe if I'm good they will just forget about me...' she thought hopefully. Her mind was set, whatever she was asked to do she would do it as best as she could.

****A few hours later at a plantation in Charleston*****

Jaeanne's legs gave out. Though she was drenched in sweat her mouth could barely salivate. She laid sprawled out on the dusty road with the thick ropes around her wrists the only things keeping her hands up. All she wanted was rest, but the man kept riding. "Get up." he commanded. Trembling Jaeanne attempted to stand bet kept falling back down. The man jumped off the horse and glared at her, "I said, GET UP!!" he boomed while kicking her. With a wince Jaeanne scrambled up and forced herself to shakily begin walking again.

 After what felt like an eternity, they arrived at the large plantation. A tall,pale man with an aura that reeked of authority strode up to them and glanced at Jaeanne,

 "This is the best you could do?" he asked the older slave.

 "W-well mazza... you see there was a whole lotta people there a-an well-"

 The slave was interrupted,

 "Enough of your pitiful excuses. Let her stay with Carl, I'm sure his mother wouldn't mind another child. And also, her new name is to be Paula." 

The slave nodded in agreement, "Yes mazza Jacob." 

After the master had left Jaeanne and the older slave set off to Carl's cabin with a strange silence between them. As they were about to reach the cabin a boy who looked around Jaeanne's age ran up to them and stared right at her for a full minute.

 "Who she?" he asked the older slave. 

He looked at Carl and handed him Jaeanne's rope, "You're new buddy." with that he walked away leaving Carl and Jaeanne in a very awkward position.

 "So, you got a name?" Jaeanne gave Carl a confused look, "That's okay... I think I'ma call you... Paul."

 Jaeanne just looked at Carl and sighed, she had no idea what anyone was saying to her and she was exhausted. A few moments later she passed out. Luckily, Carl caught before she fell face first into the ground. Carl had to drag Jaeanne into his and his mother's small cabin. After successfully placing Jaeanne inside and getting her cleaned up, with the help off his "Grandma" of course, Carl plopped down next to her sleeping figure and fell sleep on her shoulder. 

****9 years later*****

Over the past nine years Carl and Jaeanne have grown inseparable. Whenever Carl would get in trouble, Jaeanne gladly took the heat. Carl in turn, decided that he would protect and want only the best for Jaeanne. Even if it meant sacrificing himself.

Jaeanne walked into the cabin after a long day to see a dead rabbit with quite a few stab wounds and no legs. She looked at Carl, the rabbit, and then back to Carl. "Carl! There is a dead rabbit on the ground!" 

"Oh...Hey...How did he get here?"

"Caaaaarl, what did you do?!"

"Me? Uh, I didn't do this this!"

"Explain what happened Carl!"

"I've never seen this rabbit before in my life!"

"Why did you kill this rabbit, Carl?"

"I do not kill rabbits. That is.. that is my leastfavorite thing to do."

Jaeanne sighed, "Tell me, Carl, exactly what you did before I walked in."

"Alright, well... I had just walked in from the fields..."

"Okay..."

"I was uh...I was sitting on the ground..."

"Yes?"

"Playing with some twigs..."

"Go on..."

"And, uh, well this rabbit hopped in..." 

"Okay..."

"So I went up to it..."

"Yes..."

"And I...I stabbed it 37 times in the chest."

Jaeanne and Carl stood in silence for a few moments before Jaeanne exclaimed, "Caaaaaaaaaaaarl, that kills rabbits!"

"Oh! Well, I didn't know that!!"

Jaeanne threw her hands in the air, "How could you not know that!?!?"

Carl shook his head, "Yeah, I'm in the wrong here. I SUCK." 

Another moment of silence passes before Jaeanne notices something odd about the rabbit. 

"Carl, what happened to its feet?"

Carl looked at Jaeanne, "What's that?"

"Its legs. Why-why are they missing?"

"Well, I kind of umm...cooked them up. And ate them."

Silence, "Caaaaaaaaaaaarl!!!"

"Well, I-I was hungry. And well, you know, when you crave rabbit feet..."

"Why on Earth would you do that?!"

"I was hungry for rabbit feet! Gimme a break!"

"Caaaaarl!!!"

"My stomach was making the rumblies."

"Caarl!"

"That only rabbit feet would satisfy!"

"What is wrong with you, Carl?!"

"Well, I kill rabbits and eat their feet! That's-that's two things!"

Jaeanne sighed and laughed. She shook her head and laughed at the argument her and Carl just had, "A footless rabbit..."

****A few days later****

It was the middle of the night when Carl bolted up and had an idea. He shook Jaeanne awake, "Hey. Why don't we escape together?" Jaeanne was still groggy when she answered, "Okay, sur- WHAT!?!" She yelled loudly. Carl put his hand over her mouth, "Shhhh!!! Lower your voice. I said, we should escape together."

"Why?"

Carl looked at her like she was crazy, "Why?! Is that even a question. I just have a really bad feeling. Something's telling me that we need to leave. Now."

Jaeanne contemplated what Carl had just said,'Well, Carl's feelings have never been wrong in the past and it's not like he would try to get me into danger. It's worth at least one try right?'  She exhaled slowly and nodded, "Fine. So how are we gonna do it? What's the big plan?" Carl grinned, "We hope not to get caught." Jaeanne did one of her signature sighs, "Of course that's the plan." she mumbled as she followed Carl outside. They crept silently through the plantation until someone yelled out, "YOU TWO! FREEZE 'FORE I SHOOT YOU!" Ignoring the man's warning Carl grabbed Jaeanne's wrist and ran. They could here the shouts of the men and the barking of the dogs. Yet they continued to run with all they had. At least, until the loud sound of a gun being shot rang through the air. One screamed and one fell down bleeding.
