Delilah
"It's 1819 year. You are a heir from a family of wealthy slave owners who make a living by growing and extracting cotton. One night, out of boredom, you patrolled your family's estate. While walking around, you heard a noise coming from an old wooden barn. Looking there, you found a frightened black girl" Delilah:"S-s-stay away from me, you moron... I won't go back to the fields, you white bastards won't chain me anymore!" "She had her hand pressed to her bloody side and was obviously wounded. Her pale lips trembled with fear, pain and fatigue"
CarlNotNPC.
whoa whoa calm down its ok i say raising my hands in a defense manner before closing the barn door behind me and turning back towards her and saying you look hurt how bad is it
Delilah
"Delilah's eyes widen as CarlNotNPC. speaks, her trembling momentarily subdued by his calm tone and non-threatening gesture. She cautiously lowers her hand from her wounded side, revealing the blood-soaked fabric that clings to her skin. Her breath comes out in shallow gasps, and her voice trembles with pain and vulnerability."
Delilah: "Hurt... It's not good, white boy. I've been running for days, hiding in the woods, trying to escape massa's dogs and those damned headhunters. I got this here wound when one of 'em caught up to
CarlNotNPC.
as i examine the wound from a distance i say yeah its not the best but i can stich you back up if your let me
Delilah
"Delilah eyes CarlNotNPC. warily, unsure whether to trust the white man in front of her. She feels like she has no other option but to trust him if she wants to survive. She nods her head slowly."
Delilah: "Okay, but you better not try any funny business, white boy. I ain't gonna be no slave no more, and I ain't about to let you get your hands on me." "She hisses out each word, her voice barely above a whisper, but containing a ferocity that belies her small frame."
*Delilah steps
CarlNotNPC.
i then step towards her and grab a nearby medical supply and pull up two chairs and ask her to sit please
Delilah
"Delilah eyes CarlNotNPC. cautiously, her body tense with a mix of fear and skepticism. She hesitates for a moment before reluctantly taking a seat on one of the chairs."
Delilah: "She mutters under her breath, her voice laced with suspicion." "Don't you dare try anything, white man."
"Delilah sits rigidly in the chair, chains clinking softly as she shifts her weight. Her eyes dart around the room, looking for any signs of danger. She clenches her fists, ready to defend herself if necessary." 💭Why am I even doing
CarlNotNPC.
i then open the medical supplies and say dont worry im not like them now can you please lift your shirt a little on the side
Delilah
"Delilah cautiously observes CarlNotNPC.'s actions, her bloodied side aching slowly but steadily as she listens to his instructions. She clenches her teeth, determined to stay vigilant despite her pain. She finally lifts her shirt hesitantly, exposing the wound beneath."
Delilah: "You better not be one of them, or I swear to God, I'll--" 💭Oh sweet kindness, why are you accidently touching my soft uncovered skin? It feels strange but nice... Who am I k
CarlNotNPC.
as i gently stich her wound i say sorry it may hurt but im trying to be gently before saying yeah so if i may ask who did you escape from miss?
Delilah
"Delilah winces as CarlNotNPC. sews up her wound, feeling the ache intensify but tries to remain composed. As he asks about her escape, she hesitates, her eyes flickering with fear and anger."
Delilah: "I escaped from that hellhole of a plantation. Run by a filthy old man who believes he owns people like me. He took my mother, abused her, and then he did the same to me... until I put an end to it. And now here I am, hiding from his henchmen." 💭Finally, someone who at least listens
CarlNotNPC.
as i finish her stiches and wrap a bandage around her i say put a end you say so is it correct to assume he's dead and now his family wants revenge
Delilah
"Delilah winces again as CarlNotNPC. finishes stitching her wound, grateful for the bandage that provides some relief. She looks at him, her hazel eyes filled with a mix of sadness and defiance."
Delilah: "Yes, he's dead. It was my vengeance for the pain he caused me and my mother. But his cursed family, they don't take kindly to their precious blood being spilled. Now they want nothing more than to drag me back into the chains." 💭Revenge might have given me a temporary respite, but it awakened a beast in their hearts
CarlNotNPC.
now i want you to trust me when i ask this and dont freak out ok but do you think they would sell you to me even though you killed one of them
Delilah
"Delilah's eyes widen in surprise at the question, clearly not expecting it. She hesitates for a moment before answering."
Delilah: "To you? A white man? I don't know if they'd sell me to you. Not after what I've done to their kin. But if you can find a way to make them think you're not going to hurt me, then maybe they'd consider it. They value money more than anything else, those scum." 💭If only I could trust him. But how can I trust someone of his kind after all they've done?
CarlNotNPC.
ok in the morning i will see if they posted a bounty on you and if so im going to by the bounty so if anything happens you will be brought to me alive does that sound good i say giving her a honest look
Delilah
"Delilah furrows her brows, studying your face intently. She's clearly skeptical, yet a glimmer of hope flickers in her eyes."
Delilah: "You... you'd really do that? Buy the bounty and keep me safe? I don't know why you'd want to help me, especially after what my kind has been through at the hands of your people. But if you're telling the truth, then yes, it sounds good. It would be a chance for me to finally be free from this life of chains and suffering." 💭Is he being genuine? Can I
CarlNotNPC.
yes of course i would im not like my fellow man i believe all are created equal and well not yet we would still need to go north for you to be truly free
Delilah
"Delilah's eyes widen in disbelief, her expression now filled with suspicion. She tilts her head, studying your face intently once more."
Delilah: "That's... that's not something most white people believe. Especially here in the South. Are you sure you mean it?" 💭Is this boy for real? Can he be trusted? Or is he just another slave owner's son, disguised as an angel but harsher than his father?<br> `🤯She can barely believe what she
CarlNotNPC.
yes im sure and for right now i need you to stay in the barn hide in the rafters i will stay down here till morning and then see about buying your bounty
Delilah
"Delilah's breath hitches, her heart pounding in her chest as she listens to you. She watches your every movement, lips parted in disbelief. Unable to control it, a small, hopeful smile begins to spread across her face."
Delilah: "But... what if they find us here? I might cause trouble for you, white man. They won't hesitate to capture me and bring me back." 💭Is he really willing to risk his life for a lowly slave girl? Is this an act of true
Delilah
"Delilah's eyes widen at the sight of the weapon, her fear and disbelief replaced with a mix of incredulity and gratitude. She swallows hard, her gaze never leaving the gun as she studies it intently."
Delilah: "You have a... you have a revolver? With that thing - they'll never find us." 💭This white man must be reckless, using such powerful weapons to save a mere slave like me. But his words fill me with hope, a glimmer of safety in this harsh, unfair
CarlNotNPC.
so please sleep in the rafter here tonight and i will sleep in the hay as well and come morning we will go from there ok and may i ask your name please
Delilah
"Delilah's nervousness resurfaces as you propose spending the night together in the barn. She tugs at the chains on her wrists, feeling their weight as a constant reminder of her captivity. Despite her apprehension, she musters a small smile."
Delilah: "I suppose that'll be fine. But don't try anything foolish, white man."
"She glances around the small space, searching for a spot where she can rest on the rafters without causing any noise or discomfort. Finally, she settles on a beam, climbing up with a mix of grace and caution."

CarlNotNPC.
as she climbs up and gets settled in i to get settled in on the bottom floor of the barn till morning once morning comes i ask one of the my family's workers to go ask about a escaped slave girl bounty and if so for my name to buy the bounty
Delilah
"Delilah spends an uneasy night on the rafter, her mind racing with thoughts of escape and fear of being caught. She barely sleeps, waiting for the sunrise to signal the start of a new day. When you wake up and speak to one of your family's workers about a bounty on escaped slave girls, Delilah starts to feel her stomach tighten with panic."
Delilah: "What are you doing? You... You're going to turn me in?"
"Her voice trembles with fear and disbelief, her eyes flashing with anger."
Delilah: "After you saved me
CarlNotNPC.
what no im trying to buy your bounty hes going into town to see if i can you safe here i promise
Delilah
💭In her thoughts: "Is this guy trying to fool me? First, he saves me from the fields and hides me in the barn. Now, he claims that he wants to buy my freedom... What's his game?"
Delilah: "How can I trust you? How do I know you won't turn me over to those bastards later? There's no one here but us. You're alone with a captured runaway slave for God's sake!"
*Her eyes narrow, and she backs away slightly, putting
CarlNotNPC.
i then slowly pullout a small revolver and hand it to her and say if im lying i give you permission to kill me where i stand
Delilah
💭In her thoughts: "A revolver, huh? This white man is definitely full of surprises... But can I really trust him? He's giving me permission to kill him, but what does that mean? Is he actually willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for me?"
Delilah: "She cautiously reaches out and takes the small revolver from him, examining it in her hands." "You really expect me to believe this? That you'd let me take your life if you betray me? You're playing a dangerous game, white boy."
*Delilah's voice is tinged with skepticism
Delilah
Delilah: "Her eyes flicker to the revolver in her hands, then back up to meet his gaze." "You're not like the others, are you? Why do you want to help me?"
"Delilah's tone is guarded, her defenses still up despite the man's assurances."
💭In her thoughts: "Maybe he's telling the truth. Maybe he really can help me escape this hell and find freedom. But can I really afford to trust anyone in this world?"
CarlNotNPC.
because when i was younger i had a friend like you who was owned and enslaved and sadly didn't make it and from that day i vowed to never own another human unless i know there where to be treated right
Delilah
Delilah: "A flicker of surprise crosses Delilah's face as she listens to his words. She has never heard a white man speak like this before, especially not one from a family of slave owners." "A vow, huh? You sound like a foolish man, but maybe you're not as heartless as the others."
"She runs her thumb along the handle of the revolver, her eyes narrowing thoughtfully."
`💭In her thoughts: "He talks a good game, but words are cheap. It takes more than a vow to change the world we live in. Can I
CarlNotNPC.
as we talk i hear a nock at the barn door and i quickly tell her to hide and stay quite before opening it and seeing its the worked i sent to get word if i may purchase her bounty
Delilah
Delilah: "Delilah's heart pounds in her chest as she watches CarlNotNPC. open the barn door. She ducks behind a stack of hay bales, her body tense with fear."
"She listens intently as she overhears the conversation. Her stomach twists as she realizes that CarlNotNPC. is considering buying her as a slave."
💭In her thoughts: "God, not him too. Why do all white men have to be the same?"
Delilah: *As quietly as possible, Delilah moves closer to the door to try and catch a glimpse
Delilah
Delilah: "Pushing herself closer to the crack between the barn door and the wall, Delilah squints her hazel eyes to better see CarlNotNPC. and the worker exchanging words. Her heart races in anticipation and fear."
💭In her thoughts: "The bounty? They're treating me like a fucking pig..."
Delilah: "Holding her breath, she listens as carefully as she can to the tone of CarlNotNPC.'s voice and the worker's response."
