Melvin sat at the wooden table that he carved with his own hands, eating his dinner. He looked around at his family that sat before him. A family that consisted of a wife and two daughters. His wife was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. To this day, he wondered what she had seen in him. Then there was their oldest daughter Katherine, whose love for singing kept her with them. Then there was the youngest, Elizabeth who they almost lost at birth. When she was born the slave doctor, who practiced hoodoo, stated that if she made it to daybreak that she would live.
Well after two days, the doc claimed that the baby Elizabeth was indeed a fighter. Melvin smiled to himself because that’s exactly what she turned out to be. He also smiled because things could have been worse. Both his daughters and wife could have been sold off. Today was the day that Master Jackson traded and sold off twenty-six of the hundred and fifty slaves he owned. The slave trade was set up in Master Jack’s yard. The slaves were pulled up to the front and the bidding began. Once the slaves were sold, they were roughly pulled away from their friends and family, never to be seen again.
Some would say working as an errand boy and marrying a house cook was luck, but Melvin had his share of beatings and pain. When Melvin was ten, he saved the master’s son after a snake bite, so they granted him the position of errand boy. He would have to stand in the presence of his master all day. Not only did he have to take care of his master’s needs but the whole family. If that meant going to fetch a cup of water for young master, then that’s what he did. As Melvin grew older they trusted him to going nother yarder to deliver messages.
That’s when he met Darlene. Darlene was the slave of his master’s brother. Everyone knew that she was a product of a slave master because of her high yellow complexion. Rumor was that Master’s Jack eldest brother, Master John, had his way with all his house slave women. Melvin didn’t care because in his eyes she was still a Negro gal. She still was a slave. She had beautiful long brown, curly hair; the most exquisite big brown eyes and the most beautiful smile.

Hey Succulent1 ! So good to see you back and writing !! I’m sorry to hear you were not well. Just last week I reread “And the winner is” and I won’t lie to you, I got a bit frustrated after re-reading chapter 50… LOL ! Anyway, I knew we could count on you to finish that very enthralling ( I realize this is an understatement, my English is just too poor to put it differently ) story of yours. Anyway, I’m already liking this new story too. It’s very intriguing, not to mention a very ambitious project. Some great classic pieces of literature come to mind. I think you could have me hooked on this story very quickly and easily. Hope to read more soon. Welcome back again !
Welcome back. I’ve wondered where you were and so happy you’re back. Hope you’re feeling better and looking forward to reading your stories again. I’ve read all the others and really enjoyed them!!! PPS :)
All I have to say is, it’s about time you posted here again! And you know how glad I am that you’re doing and feeling better! This story is definitely different, and I’m excited at the chance to see what you do with it, you creative thing, you! :-) Love you, baby!
This is inetesting and like it. Please post more, thanks!
Welcome back…I am glad to hear your health is better! It is always a treat to see a story by you…your imagination is so wonderfully vivid! Thanks!
Damn now I want to watch “Roots” again. Definitely continue with this. :)
Great to see you back. I am with Probie” it’s going to be tough to read” but I enjoy your stories so here I will stay…
Busy week so I’m just catching up. A very interesting premise. Take care of that blood pressure (don’t you make me come over there and echo your heart-that’s what I’m studying) and don’t forget the other stories.
Nice beginning but I’m afraid you’re going to break my heart with this one. I can feel it coming. This was/is such a difficult time in US history, it never ceases to tug on the heart strings and I’m sure with B and T involved it will be even worse. I’m bracing myself…
Hey Succulent1! Welcome back. I was thrilled to see your new post and relieved to read that you have been able to bring your pressure down from the dangerous levels they were at. Civil Love…hmmm….I have to tell you, if any other writer would have posted this story line, I don’t think I would have given it a second glance. But you are not just “ANY” writer. You are brilliant at writing some of the most interesting stories I have read on this site. That being said….I’m curious to read your up coming chapters. PS.
Hey Succulent1! I’ve gotta tell you that I’m already very excited about this new story of yours. I’m a huge fan of American history, especially the Civil War period, and being the big romantic that i am, I love tales taking place during that time. I’d never imagined that someone would take up such a challenge, but let me tell you that I’m absolutely thrilled about it! Our gals’ love story taking place during such an interesting period is a very delightful prospect. And like someone already said, the fact that it’s not ANY writer giving it a shot makes it even more of a thrilling perspective. Good luck, and don’t you worry, we’ll be there all the way supporting you!!! Please take us upon this wonderful journey. Thanks!
yeah Probie, i kinda got all anxious in my stomach about this; and had to force myself on by telling myself that ‘young mistress’ is Tina and hopefully it’s gonna be a love story with a happy ending when they run away to canada together….succx i was only wondering about you 2day; high blood pressure…tell me about it…u take care and whatever happens can u plz let me know abt WOULD SHE and abt Angelica’s health after being shot by Henry, yeah i’m still stuck there…
Judging by the author note, this isn’t a story I should read at work. lol I can’t read it right now anyway as I’m busy so I’ll save it for another time. :)
Great to see you back with a new story. I’m glad to hear to feel better. I look forward to you contiune the others story. Thanks for your writing, I love you B&T Stories. PPS
This looks like it’s going to be a tough one to read, but I will stick with it if I can. Great job so far.
Woww, that storyline looks like a challenge to me !! but I really want to read it, should be interesting, to say the least ;-) Keep going, please
