So this is the second chapter. I hope that its better (or as good) as the first. Enjoy!


Joe's POV:

Our destination was a ship, filled with slaves. I was taken to a room where there was a little girl, teens, a few adults, and an old woman. The men went away, and I saw them in the next room, talking to another guy. I turned my attention back to the slaves. They looked at me warily, and stayed away from me. I was going to introduce myself, but then the guys came back and , roughly, took me to the room with the other guy. He looked down at me, like I was a slug or something like that. He looked at me for awhile, then he spoke. "Where do you come from?" He looked at me suspiciously. "I'm from, from…" He was making me nervous to the point where I could barely speak. "I reckon", he spoke again, " that you is a runnin' away from your master, now aint ye? I think that you should know the punishment for that. He produced a whip, and walked closer and closer…


Sam's POV:

" Somebody get me out of here!" I yelled to nobody in particular. "Its not going to work", Fred spoke up, " They wouldn't throw us in here and then let us out." I glared at him. " At least I'm doing something , Mr. Sit-Around-And-Not-Help-Get-Us-Out. How can you be so calm?" Fred looked at me like the answer was obvious. "Don't worry, one of the girls will come and help us like they always do, and then we can go home and get a pizza, like we always do." I, once again, glared at him. "What if the girls don't come, and what if-", I was cut off by a flash of purple light. "Sam, Fred!", Freddi looked at us through the bars of the jail cell happily, but then she looked confused. " Where's Joe?" Fred and I looked at each other, then we explained the predicament to her. Her face went pale as she asked, "where did they take him?" I told her I didn't know, but that if I was right, is probably about to get auctioned off on a ship. She said her thanks, then ran off! Without us! I sighed and resumed trying to liberate us.


Freddi's POV:

I had to help Joe, but first I had to find him. I had no idea where to look, and was thinking about the situation, when a flier hit me in the face. As I read it, I started to smile. I knew where Joe was! The flier talked about a slave auction that was to be held tomorrow on the Wildfire. I was silently cheering for my fortunate discovery, when a thought occurred to me. We still didn't have the book, which we needed if any of us was to get home. I had borrowed Samantha's pocket watch to get here, but we still couldn't just leave the book here. Bad things would happen, and we could change history. I was close to hyperventilating, when I told myself to stay calm. Everything would work out, right?

I hoped you liked it. Review!
