Breia Kirby Reflector

Its been a rough couple of weeks. Our journey gets more challenging each day with the little amount of food we have available and the limited resources. Not much can be done but when we do try our best we still end up giving in and taking a break to get ready to travel many more countless miles. Every night we try to find our dinner (if we are lucky) and we would cook it over the fire in the cave. The cave is a very scary place where we thought we were safe until we heard the noises of a creature and the next morning come to find out its clay. Clay was on a hunt to find us and bring us back to the plantation. I'm sure we would have been beaten to death and severely punished for what trouble we caused.

Over time we keep traveling in hope to find Fort Mose for freedom but the trip seems endless. One night in the woods we came upon a boy named Nathan. He found just Polly and ask her who she was traveling with and she had told him she was by herself. He obviously didn't believe her and he asked where the salve girl was (me) and the little boy (tidbit). He offered us to stay in the barn where he keeps the hay for the animals and he told us we had to stay quiet because his dad would turn them all in for the reward money. Just then the next morning Nathan's dad opened the barn door holding a pitch fork and he scoped us out in the hay. I will write back and tell you what happens and hopefully we stay safe and we can continue our worthy journey to Fort Mose.
Yours Truly,
 Amari.
