Sonette wakes up to yelling and sighs as she sits up. The sun was up. Sonette got up and runs to Amy's room. She walks in to see Amy sitting in bed. Sonette walks over and Amy sighs as she looks at Sonette.
"Are you okay Amy?" Sonette asks worried.
"Maybe." Amy replies. "We couldn't get father to change his mind." Amy tells Sonette who sighs.
"I see." Sonette said.
"I'm sorry Sonette." Amy said with tears in her eyes and Sonette smiles.
"Don't be Miss Rose, I'll be fine." Sonette tells her.
"I still have your old dress, then one you were wearing when I brought you." Amy said as she got up and walks off. Sonette looks at her shock. Amy walks back over with Sonette's dress. It was a brown dress with white sleeves. Sonette grabs it and sighs. "You will be wearing that, we can then get rid of it." Amy tells her and Sonette nods. Sonette helps Amy get dress, then got dress herself. Amy sighs and Sonette looks at dress. The sleeve and bottom on the dress was ripped, but at least it was clean, for now. "Go and have breakfast." Amy tells her.
"Okay." Sonette whispers as she walks off. She met up with Rose, April and Fire who look at her worried.
"Are you really going to get lashed today?" Rose asks and Sonette nods.
"We will have everything ready to patch you up. Fire will bring to us at the bath so we can clean and wash the wounds. I'll even go and grab your dress." April explains.
"Thank you." Sonette said and April smiles.
"Come on, breakfast should be ready." Rose said and they head off. After breakfast Sonette went off to meet up with Amy who was with her father. Lionel sighs.
"Come on Sonette." Lionel said as Fire walks over. They head down into the cellar. Sonette felt a shiver as she looks around. "Amelia, wait upstairs." Lionel tells her.
"Okay." Amy whispers as she walks off. Sonette sighs as she saw shackles on the wall. Lionel walks over and looks at Sonette who walks over. The shackles were above her head. Lionel grabs her wrists and puts the shackles on Sonette. Sonette sighs as she looks up. She was just tall enough for the shackles. Lionel walks back and Sonette takes a deep breath.
"I'm sorry Sonette but if word gets out we didn't punish you, the other slaves might think we are going soft on you and turn on you." Lionel tells her.
"Don't worry, I understand." Sonette said.
"Okay, it will be over soon." Lionel said, then begins. Sonette did her best to hold her breath, not wanting to scream. She could feel tears in her eyes. When Lionel was done, he walks over and takes the shackles off. Sonette drops to her knees. She knelt there, crying.
"She's all yours Fire." Lionel said walking off. Sonette tries to stand up but drops. Fire helps Sonette stand up, then throws Sonette over his shoulder. Sonette just cried.
"I got you." Fire said and Sonette nods. Fire walks up to see a worried Amy with Sonic.
"Sonette." Amy cries.
"Miss Rose, may make a request?" Fire asks and Amy nods.
"Of course Fire, what is it?" Amy replies.
"May Sonette stay in my care while she recovers from this? Her body still hasn't recover from everything that has happened before this and her body can't keep this going, much to her belief. I beg of you, let me take care of her." Fire asks and Amy looks at him shock, then sighs. "Think about it." Fire said walking off. Sonette looks up at Amy who has tears in her eyes. Sonette moans as she looks down. It hurt to move. They went outside and to the bath. April and Rose were waiting.
"Sit her down, quickly." Rose said. Fire nods as he sits Sonette down and Sonette moans in pain. "Fire, heat up the bath for the girl." Rose tells her.
"Got it." Fire said walking to the bath. April close the curtain and Sonette sighs.
"It's okay Sonette." Rose said.
"I know." Sonette whispers. Rose and April takes Sonette's dress off. Once undress, Fire picked her up and sat her in the bath. Sonette cries out in pain when the water hits her wound.
"Sorry Sonette, but those wounds need to be clean." Rose tells her. Sonette nods. Fire kneels by the bath and Sonette looks at him.
"About your request." Sonette start and Fire sighs. "I like the idea." Sonette admits softly.
"What did you request?" Rose asks.
"That Sonette stays in my care till she fully recovers from this." Fire replies.
"Good idea." April said and Rose nods.
"We can keep her close that way." Rose adds.
"That's what I was thinking." Fire said. "The down side it, she's going to have to work on the farm as well." Fire tells them.
"Farm?" Sonette whispers.
"You do know the Rose family runs the biggest rice farm in the county, right." Fire tells her and Sonette goes into shock.
"I forgot." Sonette admits and Fire chuckles. "But I can handle a farm, I have worked on one before." Sonette tells them.
"That's good." Fire said and Sonette sighs.
"I still can't believe this happened." Rose admits.
"Believe it." April tells her and Sonette sighs.
"Stop it, it happened, let's just move on." Sonette them.
"She's right." Fire said.
"I have to go and do a few things." April tells them as she walks off. Sonette moans in pain and sighs. Fire looks at her worried.
"Are you okay?" Fire asks.
"Yeah, it just stings a lot." Sonette replies and Fire sighs. Sonette wash her back as best she could, it was stinging but it had to be done. Once done, she got out with Fire's help.
"Bring her here." Rose tells them. Rose was kneeling by the stool. Fire helps Sonette over and Sonette sits down with her back Rose. Rose dries, cleans and wraps Sonette's back with bandages. Once done, Rose helps Sonette get change and sighs.
"Thanks." Sonette whispers.
"Just take it easy." Rose tells her.
"I will." Sonette said and Rose walks off. Sonette looks at Fire who sighs.
"Come on, we have work to do." Fire tells her and Sonette nods.
