This is just a little intro to help you. The city Albion is in fact a city in PA, the town Schoharie is not. The first couple of paragraphs are kinda boring but it will get better.

The Year is 1843

In western Pennsylvania, a little north of Albion. A small town named Schoharie.

A raven haired girl was making bread for the runaway slaves she knew would be here before nightfall. She was a simple person herself, preferring to wear breeches and a soft shirt, with a bonnet over her black hair, and plain shoes on her feet. Of course, where she lived , with her next door neighbor living 5 miles away she got lonely sometimes. But she couldn't move or leave, but then again she didn't want to. She wanted to help slaves. They had as much a right as she did to live their life. Of course the South didn't see it that way. She walked outside and hung a purple cloth on the clothes line. This was how that slaves knew where to go, that she was a stop in the Underground Railroad. She had two hiding spots for slaves. One, was in the barn in the back of her house, a clever little trapdoor hidden underneath bails of hay, and her horse Cloud. The second, one she made herself, and was quite proud of, was one directly behind her stove. It was a metal trapdoor, which opened when she pushed a spot in the stove It was a small passage, big enough to hide 2 slaves. She started a fire in the fireplace and continued to make bread for the slaves. Before she knew it darkness came.

Following that, a small tap on the door. She opened it. Out the door stood, a black women, a black man, and one little terrified looking girl. "Come in", Kimiko quietly ushered them in. She pulled out the bread, warm from the oven and gave them each a loave. They all ate theirs hungrily. She then led them outside and to the spot where they were to hide. She told them goodnight and walked back inside. She changed into her nightgown, climbed into bed and let sleep take over her.

The Next Morning

Kimiko was up and dressed and just about to bring breakfast to the slaves when there was a knock on the door. She rushed over to it and opened the door. In the doorway was a spikey-haired brown man with green eyes. "Hello Miss, Im Raimundo Pedrosa, and I've had a tip that your hiding slaves here." Kimiko knew she had to remain calm, she was the last stop in the Underground Railroad, it was her job to give the runaways directions and food, and shelter. She had to protect them. "Oh really, well your wrong, I have no slaves here. So you can just go on your merry way." "Whats your name?" "I don't see how its any of your business but its Kimiko." "Oh I see. Listen here, Im a bounty hunter and I know you have slaves here." Kimiko showed indifference. "Like what you think you know means anything to me." "It should, you know you can get in a lotta trouble for hiding slaves." "Have you ever heard of harassment? You better leave, I can scream pretty loud." "Really, I doubt it. Just to let you know I'll be watching you." "I bet you will, now you can leave now, before I get my rifle." "Oh please, I doubt you could lift a rifle much less shoot one." "Care to stick around and find out?" "Forget it, just to let you know, everyone slips up eventually and so will you."
