“My father was friends with Fredrick, but when Fredrick asked to take our horses my father refused and he was killed , Fredrick took what he wanted. My older brother, Samuel, and I went after Fredrick, and as we were touring the border of Scotland, we came across a town. We came across a small farm seeking shelter where we meat Francis, who was about your age at the time, and he was sheltering Liam who was eleven. After that, we found out that Fredrick had stolen something from all of use, and that we all wished for the same thing. Not too long after that, the four of us began tracking Fredrick together. “
“What happened to Samuel?” I asked
“He died of the plague three years ago, after he died we appointed Liam as the next leader.” after that the room fell silent. After a while Jake turned away from the fire to look at me
"Vera, could you wash the dishes?" I nodded my head and looked around for the water barrel. Jake noticed my confusion
"you'll need to take them to the river to wash them." he told me i nodded my head and carried out the woven basked filled to the brim with food covered wooden bowls and utensils. As I was about to leave the camp, someone grabbed my shoulder to stop me. I turned my torso around to see Liam looking displeased.
"Where do you think your going?"
"Jake told me to take these to the river to wash,"
"Don't think that's a good idea, or perhaps you have forgotten that there's a boy with a bleeding leg?"
"I'll be fine on my own, the men who did that to Joshua will not bother me again."
"and what makes you think that?"
"because one of them is now crippled"
"You crippled one of them!"
"He deserved it." I said bluntly. Liam exhaled and rested his hand on his temple.
"Fine I'll go with you." He said suddenly.
"very well," I said. The two of us walked thew the dens wooded once again following the sound of running water. The after noon sun warmed my arms and Liam walked closely behind me reaching for his sword ever time he heard something move.
"Liam the squires are not going to throw nuts at you." I told him with a sharp tone in my voice. Liam stopped in his tracks
"I am only taking percussion." I rolled my eyes am continued walking
"Then you are percussion while I must foolish"
"Your right about that." looked up at him in disbelief.
" what did you say?"
i asked him.
"I was only agreeing with you."
"I do believe that when someone slanders themselves, the proper thing to do is to reassure them." I said to him. I sighed and said.
"You are like a gnat." I said.
"On another matter, what happened to you and Joshua?"
"I am not quite sure. I feel as if he say something I did not. He ran out of my sight, despite my protest, and the I herd his yell. I then found him on the ground bleed, and the rest you already know." I told him.
"I see. On another matter, I heard something alarming from Jake. Is it true you are engaged and to be wed?" He asked me.
"More or less. It is true that my parents expected me to marry George. It is also true that it was arranged that I would go to Oxford this summer. However, it is also true that I had planned to revolt against this request. It did not suet me. I do plan sometime to travel to Oxford, but only to inform the Franklin household of what has occurred. Due to the recent events I now have a reason to refuse their offer." As I said the last part I looked up at him and smiled.
"That's a relief to hear." He said.
