Chapter 1

(A.Ham POV)
Yorktown. Once a beautiful place, now filled with dead corpses and stray bullets. The grass was stained red from our fallen foes. I shan't be one of them. Not when my Eliza's expecting. This field is dead. Not a single animal, not a fly buzzing about, nor any horses galloping to the West, nor any small grunts from the dying soldiers filled the deafening silence. I was now alone. I looked behind me and remembered Burrs words. "Why do you assume your the smartest in the room." I shrugged it off and began to walk towards the new battlefield. Lafayette is waiting for me over there. More near the coast.

As I got over the last few crimson coloured hills  I saw the bloodshed. I saw that Lafayette was enjoying getting out some anger out on shooting the enemy's. I grabbed my pistol from my waist and shot the ground next to me, grabbing his attention. He looked over to me and waved me over. As I made my way over, he kept shooting at others with his shotgun. Once I got to him we shook hands and told our soldiers to retreat. Thankfully the British did the same so we could quickly regain stamina, energy and our fallen and injured soldiers. Me and Lafayette began to bandage wounds on ourselves and others unt- BANG‼️

I looked behind me and saw my closest friend, John Laurens, fall to the floor. Grasping his arm and letting out a scream of agony. I looked at Lafayette. I gave him that look of helplessness. He tried stopping me but I dropped my gun and ran to him.. I saw him being beaten up by the British. I'm not having that. I think Lafayette gave up as he threw me his shotgun. I loaded it and shot down the British. Triple kill! I got down to his side and quickly retrieved the bullet from his arm. He looked so... scared. I've never seen him like this. I got the troops to help me as we got him to his feet and to safety.

He was tired and needed to rest.

(So sorry it's short. I'm I'll :D)
