11Note : Now switching to first person, America's POV. First chapter was third person because I wanted to show a little bit of what England was thinking...
I watched silently from the edge of the woods. We had failed in this battle, and now New York City was being burned down by the British... This war thing is much harder than I thought. I sighed as I turned back to my militia. We were SO screwed...
"Miss Kirkland!" a voice called. It almost made me flinch. I still went by the name Amelia F. Kirkland. I need to get myself a new last name, it just reminds me of how terrible things are going every time I hear my last name...One thing I still share with my big brother...
Then again, is Arthur really still my big brother now?
I shook my head as I turned to look at the soldier. "Is this important?" I asked, cocking my head and putting a hand on my hip. The soldier looked down quietly.
"Sorry to interupt... Whatever you're doing. General Washington wanted to see you..." the soldier mumbled. I sighed. General Washington wants to see me... Can I even thing of any optimistic thoughts at this point?
We were going to Valley Forge for the winter. I don't know much... Okay, I don't know ANYTHING about this place. I just know this is where we're going. It won't be so bad, I bet. It will be a rest from the war for a bit...
Oh, little did I know.
Note 2 : The chapters will get longer as the story goes on. Especially when Prussia shows up! 3
