#Chapter 100 (Deonna) – Preparing for the Trial

Marlon was worried there was going to be another fight, and truth be told, I worried too. He calls it a revolution; the fight that will end it all. If we win, this could mean the end of slavery. If we lose, we will all most likely. I wondered if he was right about a fight breaking loose; Petra doesn’t’ seem to know anything about it but it seems Alex keeps things from even her. Marlon seems to think that Alex was raising an army of his own and we already knew the king’s army was going to be there. I pressed my hand against my stomach, and I could feel the baby kicking. I worried for the fate of our unborn child, and I worried for the fate of Mateo. I missed him so much and couldn’t wait to hold him in my arms again. It pained me to think that I may never get that chance. Kamala and I had made a promise during our time on the slave farm that we would see beyond those chains and put an end to slavery. Neither of us could believe that this could be the moment it all happened.
