historical fiction . . . hellppp??

I take on the persona of an African American slave in North America, and I write a story about it. That's my paper.

So what I had in mind..:

I'm born into slavery and raised on a rice plantation in south carolina, (very little with the background description because it's only a four page short story.) I've developed intense lust for the master's offspring (really daughter, but in my story I'm making this character's gender unknown the best I can, with only revealing subtle hints in her description). We make eye contact and visit a lot whenever no one's watching, etc.
One day, our attraction over powers us, and we start making out in a back feed room or something, knocking everything down ;)
welll...then the master walks in (shocker! ..not really) he screams vulgarities and beats me to death while I just watch her cryyy...
the end.
of course I'll fancy that up, but that's the gist of it all..

any opinions????
I could really use the help, this is the last historical fiction paper I ever have to write in high school, and I'd like it to be amazing.

I may even change the whole plot idea, idk yet. I've just been wanting to write a fiction story with a lesbian character.

but, yes, any ideas would be much much much appreciated, thanks!

I like this a lot, though I am kind of a sucker for unhappy endings, so long as they are done in a beautifully tragic way. I do have a question though; why did you choose an American slave/master relationship? I'm more curious than anything...

awesome, okay everyone in

awesome, okay everyone in the class had to be an African American slave.. hmm, maybe the other girl should be African American too. I don't really know, but it's in the works though.
