Chapter 1
Benjamin galloped over the hill and looked down on the scene of the battle. Benjamin jumped off his horse and ran between the bodies desperately looking for Gabriel and soon spotted him. Benjamin ran to Gabriel's side and found his son barley conscious but alive. Benjamin quickly took stock of his son's wounds, Gabriel had a bad bayonet would in his side but it looked like it had missed all the major arteries and organs.
Gabriel began to wake up and started flailing around trying to throw his father off "Don't move it'll be ok," said Benjamin in a soothing voice. Gabriel calmed down at once and began watching his father apply bandages to his side with half open eyes. "I'm sorry father is shouldn't have gone off like that," whispered Gabriel.
"It's alright I understand, now rest we're going to find a doctor for you," Gabriel's breathing became slower and deeper as he fell asleep. "Are there anymore survivors," asked Benjamin
"No," Occum answered Graley.
"Alright we need to get Gabriel to the Regulars' camp where he can be seen to by a doctor, we'll use that wagon there to transport him, so we need to unload the supplies from It." ordered Benjamin standing up and walking towards the wagon.
After unloading the wagon Benjamin and Occum carefully lifted Gabriel into the wagon jostling him as little as possible but even so they got a moan for Gabriel as they lifted him. "Sorry son it'll be ok we're going to the regular's camp to a doctor." Gabriel gave a weak smile that reassured his father.
The remaining militia set off at a quick trot towards the regular's camp leading the horses of the fallen and driving the wagon. Benjamin rode alongside the wagon so he could watch Gabriel.
Though he had reassured Gabriel Benjamin was worried sick he had already lost Elizabeth and Thomas he could not lose Gabriel. Gabriel was his first born and of his seven children. Gabriel was most like his mother Susan and Margret looked a lot like their mother but Gabriel acted like her to, her compassion and her strength of will and her control he had inherited from her. The loss of Ann had pushed him over the edge that Benjamin himself had gone over after Thomas's death.
