Flash Back.
A couple days back: “ahhhhh!” some one screamed. The people who came with Phillip were taking force and firing big pieces of metal. I think I heard someone call them guns. I hid with my family and the children but my family was across the room. I heard another scream. “Wait I recognize that voice” I said “its Tanis!” I told the children to be brave and stay quiet, outside every one was being loaded arrows were being shot, spears were stabbing into people! it was horrible! I had to do some thing so I cleared my thought stepped out side and yelled at the top of my lungs “WE HAVE SPICES WE WILL TRADE YOU OUR EXOTIC SPICES FOR OUR FREEDOM!” a couple men glanced at me, then I realized that they do not under stand my language. So I tried again “WE WILL TRADE YOU SPICES FOR OUR FREEDOM!” this time a man got fed up and he wrestled me onto the ship, I recognized the room immediately from hearing from Phillip… it was a room for slaves.
I waited In that room with the others for what seemed like forever just sitting, thinking of what I could do…then it hit me, the night before this I had taught Phillip our language so that we could communicate! I sprinted out of the room and found phillip in the kitchen unaware of what was happening from inside the ship you couldn’t here anything on the out side. I explained to Phillip what was happening I also told him to throw out all of the spices so that they would need to trade and so that our homeland would be safe again. and he said “People of the Military! My friend Kachina says that she will give us all the spices we need for their freedom!” The Military looked at Philip. The General, Philip’s boss, came up to him and said “So… spices for freedom, huh?” “And anything else they need” I said “Kachina says and anything else you need” “Well well well… I guess they have a deal” said the General. I gave them loads of different spices, I gave Phillip some native toys for his children and one Kachina doll for him to remember that day. I will always remember Phillip deep in my heart I know that he will always remember me too. So this is farewell I have been ordered to stop writing by the chief because he says that they wouldn’t have come if they didn’t hear about our home from me. So I guess this is good-bye.A couple days back: “ahhhhh!” some one screamed. The people who came with Phillip were taking force and firing big pieces of metal. I think I heard someone call them guns.
