Because I have deleted my POTC (Pirates not Passion of the Christ) I have decided to write another Patriot fic. Once again I will be gone for a week and will not be able to update any of my stories.


Loyalties

Ch 1

The rain poured down heavily on the Madison Plantation. Felicity Madison sat with her sister sipping tea with her sister. They were home waiting for the news to arrive of their father. General Madison was fighting for the British, having been from England himself. He had gone to one of the forts and had not made it to his destination and was presumed dead or kidnapped by The Ghost. Mrs. Madison was in the sitting room next to the fire worried about her beloved husband. Lightning crashed outside dimming the two candles and their flickering illumination. Felicity, age twenty- three twisted the engagement ring on her finger, as she watched the diamonds twinkle.

Caitlin her sister of nineteen went to comfort their mother.

" Mother, everything will be fine." She said.

Mrs. Madison lips quivered as tears threatened to fall.

" It's been to long. He hasn't written in a whole week Caitlin." She said

" Papa might be busy," Caitlin said.

" A whole week Caitlin he's never missed a week," Mrs. Madison.

" You need to rest," Caitlin said helping her mother up the stairs.

The door swung open and there in the door way stood a soaked General Madison.

" Papa?" Caitlin asked.

Mrs. Madison turned around.

" George?" she asked tearfully.

He nodded and she ran to him.

" I thought you were gone!" She sobbed as he held her tightly in his arms.

" I'm home Mary." He sighed happily.

The rest of the family peeked out form the top of the stairs. The Madison family included five children, Felicity, 23; Caitlin 19; John, 17; Robert, 14, and Cara 13. All the children ran down to greet their father happily.

They moved into the kitchen and lit more candles when Gen. Madison made an announcement.

" I have also brought home another surprise." He said.

He moved away to reveal Felicity's fiancée, Col. Tavington.
