Hello readers! I just wanted to let you know that when I got back from my holiday my computer had decided to have a nervous breakdown and it is now refusing to work. I took it to the shop and the guy said it would be about a week until my computer could be picked up, so unless I can borrow a friend's laptop or something (all my stuff's on a USB) it'll be hard to publish. I will probably only publish one or two chapters this week, but I just wanted to let you know why! I'm just going to give you a sneak preview of the next chapter, so enjoy!
Connor arrived at the homestead with Clara. She was still breathing, just, and unless he could get her to Achilles soon he knew she would die. And that was something Connor couldn't bear to think of.
"Achilles!" Roared Connor as he lifted Clara off the horse. Connor ran up to the house with Clara in his arms and Achilles appeared at the door.
"What happened?" Asked Achilles urgently.
"She was shot by a redcoat." Answered Connor quickly as they rushed into the kitchen. Achilles swept everything off the kitchen table and Connor laid Clara on the table. Achilles opened Clara's uniform and saw the gunshot wound.
"I may be able to save her. I'm not sure yet. Leave me to try, but come immediately if I call." Achilles said urgently.
My chest burns, as if it's on fire. Even though I should be screaming in pain, I can only manage one word.
"Connor!" I exclaim as my chest sends a surge of fire up my spine.
I hear running footsteps and he bursts in through the door. Through the pain, I smile, stupidly glad to see him. Connor rushes over to my bed and as my chest burns again I grab his hand, squeezing it hard as my chest sends more fire upwards.
Well, what did you think? Let me know in the reviews, and I always appreciate and love reading your reviews! If you like it that much, follow or favorite!
