********Important a/n at the end plz read!********

(Y/n) POV:

Alex and Eliza's wedding was just a few days ago but it feels like they've been married for forever. We returned to the camp because we had to ride to Monmouth for the next battle. Washington told us who the other general was and we were split up under either him or... Lee. Oh gosh! And just my luck I was with Lee. But so was John so that was fine with me. Alex and Laf were with Washington and Herc was back at the tent because he was leaving for England soon. He was going to be a spy and it would definitely be different with him gone. Hopefully he'd be back soon. Washington told us the plan and we got on our horses and started to ride to Monmouth.

     It felt like we were riding for forever but eventually we made it and set up the camp. We didn't really set nothing up in our tent. It was late and Washington wanted us to get some sleep. I was nervous so I tossed and turned all night. Alex noticed since I guess he was awake and got up. "Hey struggling to sleep?" He whispered. "Yeah." I whispered back. "Need a friend?" He asked. "Sure.". I got out of bed and we walked outside. "So whatcha thinking about that's keeping you awake?" He asked. "The battle. I feel like I won't do so well!" I replied sitting on the ground. "Look (Y/n) you are the most bravest woman I've ever met! I saw you in the last one and you killed it!" He said patting my back. "Yeah but I'm with... Lee!" I hesitated. "Yeah I'm sorry about that but you'll do fine just do what you did last time." He replied. "Thanks!". I hugged him and got up. "For someone who loves arguing with everyone, you sure do know how to cheer someone up." I said. He smiled and we went back to the tent.

     We arrived back at the tent and got in our beds. I was able to go to sleep this time but woke up in what felt like two minutes. "Come on (Y/n)! Washington wants us up!" John said shaking me. I groaned and got out of bed. We got breakfast and walked around. We needed to stay ready. Soon enough we heard Washington yell "EVERYONE GET IN POSITION!". We had our guns and stayed behind Lee. Herc was in the tent because Washington wanted him there so he didn't get hurt. Everyone was ready and the battle began.

     There was blood and screaming everywhere. Lee started shouting retreat and Washington was yelling attack. I was so confused I just kept shooting. We were by some trees so I hid behind one and kept attacking. I could hear Washington yell and tell Laf to take the lead instead of Lee. But I was shot in the leg and turned to see a... woman?!?! I got in a fight with just her when she stopped. My leg was in so much pain I fell on the floor. "You can't be!" She gasped. "Can't be what?" I asked. "You're, you're... (Y/n)!?!?" She yelled. I was confused for a bit until I realized. "Sophia?!?!" I said. She smiled but I frowned. "Why are you with the redcoats?" I asked. "I was taken by a man to England. He forced me to join once it started." She explained.

     Then I remembered. The guy that ran to get the doctor. Or so I thought that's what he was doing. He ran to the side of the house. And never came back! That must have been why she wasn't in the house. "Well I'm afraid I can't help you right now little sis." She said interrupting my thoughts. I couldn't move since my leg hurt so bad. I went to yell for help but before I could she hit me in the back of the head with the handle of the gun. I heard Washington yell retreat and then it was black.

John's POV:

We ended up having to retreat and it was all Lee's fault! So many men died because they got confused. After we were back at the camp I went to our tent. Everyone was there except (Y/n). That's weird I'd expect to see her. "Have any of you seen (Y/n)?" I asked. "No I thought she was with you!" Alex asked. "Maybe she is with General Washington." Laf shrugged. "Maybe." I mumbled. I walked out of the tent and straight to Washington's tent. "Sir may I come in please?" I asked. "Yes Mr. Laurens." He replied. "Have you seen (Y/n)?" I asked once again. "No I thought she would be with you or the guys." He stated. "Oh shit" I mumbled. "Okay then I guess I should go!" I quickly said walking out of the tent.

I ran into our tent. "(Y/N) IS MISSING!!!" I frantically yelled. "She's what?!?!" Herc yelled. "No one knows where she is and Washington thought she was with us!" I yelled. I paced all around the tent worried. Oh gosh! Oh gosh! Oh gosh! I couldn't stop worrying. Then I realized that it was Lee's fault. I had to find him. "Alex come on we're finding Lee!" I shouted. We ran out of the tent when we heard Lee ranting about Washington! Alex ran to tell Washington what he heard and I walked up to him.

"Hey! Lee, way to screw it up out there, because of you (Y/n) is missing!" I yelled. "It's not my fault." He yelled back. "Not your fault! It 100% is your fault!" I kept yelling. "Well maybe you should be a better boyfriend and watch out for your girlfriend!" He scoffed. That had done it. I punched him right in the jaw. "Don't ever talk to me like that again!" I yelled. Alex ran up to me and said he wasn't able to do anything about Lee. "Then I'll do it!" I said. I turned and went to Lee. I challenged him to a duel for tomorrow. I couldn't stand him! Alex grabbed my shoulder and quietly said "Laurens do not throw away your shot.".

(Y/n) POV:

I woke up in a dark room with a tiny little window on the wall. It looked like I was in some kind of cell. "Ah my head." I groaned while resting my hand on my head. There were chains around my wrist connecting to the wall. My leg was bandaged but it still hurt. I sat there and thought about how my sister could turn on me like that.

The door opening interrupted my thoughts and light came flooding in. I covered my eyes with my hand until the door closed. I saw General Howe come in. Oh boy! "So this is the soldier Miss Jones brought in." He said. "Miss Jones?" I mumbled. "Well I didn't just come here to sit and have tea with you. What are your plans?" He asked. "To get out of here." I said making it sound obvious. "No you idiot! What is Washington's plans?!" He yelled getting close to my face.

I turned my head and didn't respond. He kicked me and yelled once more "What are Washington's plan!?!?". All I did was spit in his face and he stumbled back. He wiped off his face and gave me a look of disgust. "I will get you to talk eventually!" He yelled slamming the door. I was happy he was gone and thought if John was coming. I sat there in the dark with the little light showing and thought to myself.

A few hours passed and the door opened once again. He walked in with different things that I couldn't see and put them on the table in the corner. "Now we can make this the easy way or the hard way." He said. I didn't respond. I just looked down. "The hard way it is then." He said grabbing a knife. He walked over and grabbed my chin. I avoided his eyes and he said very slowly "What. Are. Washington's. Plans.". I didn't say anything and he grabbed my wrist. I tried to pull away but couldn't escape his grasp. He took the knife and cut a giant line right down my arm.

I winced in pain and closed my eyes tight. It hurt so bad but I didn't let him get the satisfaction of knowing that I was being affected. He got even madder and did the same to my other arm. They stung so bad but I still didn't let out a peep. He got up and said that he would be back in the morning for information. But I won't give them anything. I'll die before I tell them anything.

John's POV:

I was worried. I couldn't sleep at all knowing that (Y/n) is probably being tortured or is dead. I got barely any sleep but it was Lee's fault and he doesn't believe it. I got up and got ready with Alex we walked to an open field away from the camp. Lee was standing there with Burr. Everyone was ready. We went over the ten duel commandments and counted out.

As soon as they said 10 I turned around and shot Lee. Right in the side. I was happy but Washington walked up and didn't seem so happy. He told Burr to get a medic for him and told Lee that we didn't speak for him. The medic took Lee and Washington wanted Alex in his tent. I could hear him yelling at Alex and the last thing was Alex yell at him. I saw him walk out of the tent and I tried to ask him what's wrong but he didn't answer. He got all his stuff and walked to a carriage. I watched him ride off.

I felt bad for Alex. I went to our tent and saw Laf sitting there reading a book. "I shot Lee." I said. "Alright mon ami!" Laf smiled. "But Alex got set home." I said. "Oh." He whispered. "Well anything about (Y/n) yet?" He asked changing the subject. "No." I sighed. "Once again oh." He whispered. I sat down and sighed. "We have to find her." I said. "Don't worry we will." He replied.

Washington walked into our tent and called me out. I got up and followed him to his tent. "We have to get (Y/n) back." He said. "I know." I mumbled. "The British more than likely have her." I said. "I know and that's why we'll have a surprise attack." He said. We sat and planned it all out. We were gonna gather everyone soon and tell them the plan. I had to get her back! And I was!
