It was the next day, Saturday and it was a nice day, Prince climbed down the ladder and started making breakfast, As he cooked some eggs he heard two gun shots, He winced abit... That was his dad. It was hard for Prince to ignore it but he managed to, then his father came inside the house. "Prince, I have plans for us today" He said confidently. But more like an Order. Prince kept away from eye contact, focusing on his eggs " Oh yeah?..... What is it."  He sighed, He knew he would regret asking but his fathers responce was "It's a surprise."  After prince finished eating his eggs his father took him outside, Prince looked around and saw the boy his age from yesterday, cuffs were around his wrists and they were attached to a post, Princes dad walked up to them and prince followed, he didn't like what was going on and the boy tied to the post look scared " Master I'm sorry!" The sight of princes father immedietly made the boy feel like he did something wrong. Princes father turned to prince with a slight glare. "Son, He is yours now, Go do whatever you want" The boy was scared, looking at prince " I know how much you want a friend so here" His father sat on the bench beside them as prince crouched down with his Battle ship board game, The boy avoided eye contact but was extremely scared, he wanted to run back because he felt as if he were being surronded. as prince set up the battle ship game, the slave boy was drawing in the dirt with his fingers nervously, " Uhh" Prince looked at the boy, not really knowing what his name was or what to call him " I'm sorry!" The boy burst into tears and reached for the tic to the battle ship game. He was going slow and prince was okay with it, He was a slave. He probably didn't even know how to play the game. Princes father kicked the boy. He squelled as if the back reopened and started bleeding again, He fell and landed on the two battle ship game parts. " I... I don't know how to play! I'm sorry!" He screamed, Princes father grabbed the boys hair and pulled him. It hurt having your hair being grabbed and pulled, Prince experienced it. His father put the boy back in his cage and walked back to prince. "I will let you pick who you want as a friend this time... that dog was a true mistake" Prince sighed " he was in so much pain!" Prince admited " COULDN'T YOU SEE THAT?!" Prince ran back into the house and up in his room,  He looked out the window and saw the boy on the ground crying. " I..... I don't know what to do anymore...." He hid his face and his mother climbed up to his room "

Hun?" She asked " Are you alright?" She looked worried " Mom" Prince responded gently "I don't like this slave idea... please listen to me.. we don't have to own slaves..." Prince felt as if his mom was the only one he could trust. "Would you like me to talk to your father?" Prince nodded " P-Please...." His mother nodded and stood up, leaving his bedroom and a few minutes of silents, estimation on 30 minutes. yelling could be heard, But it sounded as if his mother was winning, All that could be heard was " Hun! Atleast give them time alone so they could get along without the dog getting hurt okay?!" That was his mothers voice. "Dammit fine! JUST FINE! "  Foot steps could suddenly be heard as princes father started climbing towards his room. He opened the door "Prince" He sighed " I'm sorry, come on, Lets go get your pet again..." Prince knew he meant the door " The boy...." Prince correct his father. His father nodded "Whatever..." They got outside and his father grabbed a shot gun as he ended the large caged in area where the slaves slept and stayed. They all stared at him and the boy hid behind people because he knew that they were looking for him. "Dad?" Prince sighed " I dont see him" His father glaced at the slaves and then held the shot gun towards them " Where is the young dog I took some here earier?!" Everyone moved and the boy stood silently " You, come with me once more" The boy nodded and walked up to princes father, as His father walked up prince ran up beside the boy his age " Hey..." He rubbed the back of his neck with a slight smile. The boy looked at him then looked at the ground " H-Hi Master..." It was easy to tell he was holding back tears " D-did I do something bad? What is going to happen to me?..." Prince sighed and looked at him. "Nothing.... you're safe now.. with my mom and I.." The boy looked at him and nodded "Thank you master but..." He clenched his fist " I want my family safe instead of me..." Prince arched an eyebrow " We will protect them too... you just have to watch out for my father" Prince responded, The boy still probably didn't trust him but that didn't bother prince. Prince would need to do anything to gain his trust, It didn't bother prince because Who knows what this boy was been through since birth, It has always been a mystery to others on out Black babies would survive the slavery world, Prince looked at the slave boy. " You can borrow some of my clothes, I bet they will fit you, do you know how old you are?" The boy looked at him " I am 14 years old master" Prince nodded " So am I... My names Prince, You?" The boy smiled "My name is Yuki".
