America was screaming in horror, forced to watch as Indian chief Tah-gah-jute's family was massacred by colonists that would claim half of Virginia's territory and was forced to be baptized and go under the name Logan. The look in the man's eyes that day would haunt America forever, especially when they landed on her.

Those brown eyes were lifeless, broken by grief, anger, and the need for revenge.

And that was exactly what he got. He managed to murder thirteen settlers, and wrote a letter to justify his actions. America couldn't bring herself to read the letter's contents.

It was also during that time when the personification of West Virginia and his twin brother, Kentucky, would be born into the world.

That child's name was Eric. He, like his twin brother Everett, had more than one chance to be conceived and born in the past, but chose 1774 to do so. It would also result in him taking part of his elder sister, Evelyn's territory. However, Evelyn didn't mind this, and willingly gave up that part for her younger brother. 

Really nothing like her father.

Back to Eric, America really thought Eric was the male version of Evelyn, unlike Everett who ad  dark blonde hair and blue eyes. He possessed his father's blonde hair (though it was combed and tamed like Evelyn's), his forest green eyes, and magical habits. That meant he could see the same creatures England and a few of his older siblings could. This also created a special bond with his elder sister, who often allows him to help her with her magic.

Eric also loved to read in his spare time, and was quite intelligent, which landed him into the business department. The profession was perfect for him, as not only was he educated in many things, but he was a natural leader and the kind of man who is able to stay calm in many pressuring situations. He was basically the role model for his coworkers.

"Being able to handle stress during those kinds of days will help you live a better life, and even make you happier and improve relationships with those close to you," Eric said once to a coworker, who soon followed his advice to the teeth.

His state government also looked up to Eric, and often allowed him to make decisions that would benefit the state and even the country. America wondered where he developed that love for knowledge from, but she was proud of him nonetheless.

Everett and Eric were known to play rough with each other, such as making cannons and other objects purely out of snow and using them on each other. Luckily they would never actually hurt each other badly, as they were being good-natured about it, and everyone found it hilarious when this would happen, but America would always scold the twins after they were done.

"The both of you understand you could've seriously hurt one another right?"

"Don't worry Mama! We would never!" Everett chirped, speaking quickly. Eric simply smiled and nodded.

America sighed, knowing she lost this argument, and with her own children!

Oh well...as long as they didn't kill each other.

I really couldn't resist using the Spongebob reference ;).
