Chapter 36 Merrigold

"I'll be gone just for a little while..."

"That's odd." My brother said with concern. "You've never been off the plantation what if you got harmed? You certainly can not trust that man...? What if he is planning to murder you where it is you're headed even worse sell you off. You're not going anywhere Merrigold, I refuse!"

"Y-you can not tell me what to do?! I'm only going because it's my duty to help with...uhm...the many things I do...you would not understand James. I'm well skilled, somewhat educated and that is the reason why he has chosen to me and no other for this voyage."

"You sound delusional, what is it that he did to you upon your return? You're not going anywhere!"

"I'm leaving at dawn, just thought to inform you." I crossed my arms.

"Merri...!" Miriam, my brother's wife said trying to calm him down as he was already fuming with anger. Knowing him, I thought it was simply to give me a scare.
