Accidental African Slave Part 138

Author:

I won’t go into my diary description, of the last two working days of my second week, working as a slave. The last two days have been no different from the previous two days. And the whole work week had very little deviation from one day to the next.

This is now day seven, Sunday of the second week, as a working slave. We started the day as usual, getting up, and getting ready for breakfast. The Foreman brought the food down, then quickly returned to the top. The guard said the Foreman was getting ready for Master Ansah’s arrival, that Master Ansah was coming to check on our progress. He was coming to see how much more need to be done, and about how long it would take.

The three of us; Kwaku, Dauda, and myself, jus spent the day relaxing. I enjoyed walking around in the pit, looking at things that I hadn’t noticed before, or had wanted to investigate. Kwaku and Dauda spent time relaxing at the table talking, while I walked around.

Kwaku and Dauda did go back to the slave quarters, and lay down until lunchtime. The guard noticed I didn’t go with Kwaku and Dauda, but I just kept walking around. So he came over and ask, if everything was ok with me. I assured him I was fine, that I just wanted to walk around. He grabbed my wrist chain, pulling on it, and told me there was no way to escape. I guess he thought I was walking around, looking for a way to escape. I just bowed my head, and I didn’t say anything. He looked at me and said, where would someone like you go, you wouldn’t be capable of surviving.

The guard took me by the arm, and led me to the table. He sat me down on the bench, and told me to stay there. I didn’t say anything, I just sat there until lunch was brought down.

The Foreman came down with our food, and ask where the others were. The guard told him Kwaku and Dauda were in the slave quarters. He then told the Foreman about my walking around. He told the Foreman at first he thought I was looking for a way to escape, but now he thinks I’m just confused.

The guard went to get Kwaku and Dada from the slave quarters. The Foreman put the food down on the table, then he came over where I was sitting. He raised my head and looked in my eyes, but didn’t say anything, and I just dropped my head saying nothing.

The guard came back with Kwaku and Dauda, and they sat down. We started eating, and the Foreman told us that Master Ansah would be here today, and that he wanted to see our progress. That he wanted to see how much time it would take to finish the job. The guard spoke up, and told Kwaku to watch me, that he thought I was having mental problems, he told Kwaku I had been walking around aimlessly. Kwaku agreed to watch me, and he told the guard I sometimes act that way.

The guard told Kwaku that after we were through eating, to take me back to the slave quarters, and chain me down. He said he would come and release me, for our evening meal. As soon as we were through, Kwaku took me by the arm, and led me back to the slave quarters. I sat down on my mattress, and Kwaku started to chain my legs. I pulled back, and told him not to chain me. He grabbed hold of my leg and chained my leg. He said he had no choice but to do as ordered, plus the guard had the key, and that the guard would have to come and get me.

I stayed chained until evening meal time, and I missed the arrival of Master Ansah. They told him I wasn’t feeling good, but the guard would get me at mealtime. Master Ansah wanted to come and check on me, but Kwaku told him it was best to let me sleep. I have to admit I did fall asleep, and I didn’t hear the truck arriving.

Master Ansah looked at what work had been done, and tried to figure out how much longer it would take to finish the job. He and the Foreman finally came to the conclusion, that it would take three or four days to finish. That ment that it would be Friday before we could leave. So our departure date was set for Friday.

When time for our evening meal came, the guard came for me. He told me Master Ansah had ask about me, and was told he could see me at mealtime. I wondered why he had waited so long to see me, and the guard told me, that the Master had been told I need my rest.

I was taken up to the shed to eat, and when I got there everyone was sitting around the table. Master Ansah told me to come sit by him, he wanted to know how I felt and if I was doing ok. I sat down beside him, and told him I was fine. He reach over and gave me a hug, I can’t help but wonder how this makes Kwaku and Dauda feel. I couldn’t help it, but I got tears in my eyes, and had to wipe my eyes. The Master reached over and rubbed my head, that didn’t help the situation.

I finally got to start eating, but every little bit the Master would touch me in some way, but I finally finished eating. The Foreman said he was going back up top, and the Master’s drive went with him. The Master said he wanted to stay and talk with us a little longer. The guard said he would leave us alone for awhile, and followed the others up top.

I ask if Araway ask him to bring me back, and the Master laughed. He said Araway had said to keep me here until the job is finished. That my room was occupied, by someone else, and that she and Orsty were having a good time cooking meals. I told the Master to tell Araway that was fine, because I had promised Kwaku I would stay as long as he stayed. Tell him I’m keeping up my training. The Master said he would tell Araway.

The Master ask me to be truthful with my answers, that he had questions. He wanted to know if I was having any doubts about staying longer, and I told him no, and that I had enjoyed my time here with Kwaku and Dauda. He then ask if I had any trouble with his Foreman or guard, and I told him no. He ask me a question I found hard to answer, he ask if I still viewd myself as his slave. He wanted to know if that’s why I worked naked with slaves, thinking it would please my Master. I told him truthfully I would always view him as my former Master. But I told him I had no idea, for sure, why I liked working naked with slaves. I told him I hoped he was pleased that I was able to be with other slaves as friends. He stopped me, and pointed out I had made reference to other slaves. He then ask what I ment when I said other slaves. He ask if I still viewed myself as a slave.

I had to laugh, and told him what Kwaku had told me. Kwaku had once said we were slave brothers, but that I pointed out I was not a slave. He told me I had been sold, bought, and worked as a slave, so I had been a slave, and he said I was still branded as a slave. I said maybe I do think of myself that way at times. He ask me how I felt when I worked as his slave. I thought about that for a moment, and then I said that’s hard to answer. I told him at first I was frightened and worried about being rescued, and as the days went by I started to worry about how I would survive. I told him how he had helped me feel better, when he told me I wouldn’t be whipped or beaten, and that I wouldn’t be used sexually unless I agreed. I told him I had resigned myself to accepting my slaery, if I wasn’t rescued, and making the best of my new life.

He said Zac I’m happy you told me all this, it makes it easier for me to understand you. You have experienced being used as slave, and had resigned yourself to accept being a slave. You accepted me as your slave Master and protector, and came to depend on me for your needs. You tell me you will always view me as your Master, I think you still view yourself as a slave at times, and especially when I’m around. He said he still viewed me the same way he views Kwaku and Dauda, as former slaves. Yes you were a former slave of mine, but you are no longer a slave, except in your mindset.

The guard came and told us it was time to sleep, so the Master said goodnight and went topside. The guard took us to the salve quarters, and chained Dauda and I up for the night. He then left, locking the.gate and turning out the light. I started our conversation with a question, I ask them if they viewed me as a fellow slave.

This got our conversation going, and Dauda spoke first saying he viewed me as a fellow slave, that we had been through a lot together. And that I still worked with he and the other slaves, like one of them. Kwaku then said, I think you know how I feel, I call you brother slave, and you went through becoming a slave with us, and you are marked like me as a slave. I will soon be an ex-slave like you, so yes I view you as a fellow slave. We then went to sleep, but I kept thinking about what the Master said and what Dauda and Kwaku had said. Did I still have a slave’s mindset, did I really view myself as a slave, Master Andah’s slave?
