No Taxation- Chapter 2
Omg i couldn't wait to continue this, so Here's chapter 2! XD *squeels* i hope you enjoy. This chapter will be a lot more emotional. And keep in mind, this is not meant to be 100% historically accurate, so please dont complain on any i am bending the Canon info a bit as well. Things may not line up well,considering this is a mash of canon and fannon written by an ADHD author who wants to get an amazing Fic out of this. I try to keep some form of sense, so this isnt total anarchy, but , I'll shut up so you can enjoy Chapter 2!~ ScribblySkiesStudios
Arthur shot upright in his own bed, his heart pounding and his hand going to his forehead to wipe the sweat away. His breathing was heavy, and he shook a bit. He looked to the bedroom doorway when he heard Alfred's small clasped shoes clacking onto the wood floor of the hallway. The sound died out as it reached the door, and Arthur was at first concerned. Then he remembered.
He and Alfred had had another argument. This one,he feared, they may not ever recover from. Some colonists had convinced him to rebel. Usually, the young boy was well behaved, but he was also steadfast and determined. If he set his mind to do something, he would succeed. And that's what Arthur feared. He rubbed his eyes,trying to rub away the nightmare from his early pirate days. He sighed, and went about business as usual. He dressed, and combed his blonde hair, and brushing his teeth. He didn't need a shower today, for he'd taken one last night. He headed into town, to speak with the english generals to convince them not to fight the colonists.
"Bloody hell, England! Come now, be reasonable! These men have no intention of just having a small banter. They mean to start a war! And as such, the rebellion must be crushed!" one general shouted. Arthur shook his head, and put a hand on the table. "Thats bloody bollocks! Alfred- I mean- the colonists.. would never start a war! Especially one they couldn't win! They'd never waste lives that pointlessly! You don't know them like I do." He said pointedly. "Your little colonist is heading the rebellion, Mr. England. I think it's safe to assume the worst." A general a stronger voice came forward. The Head General, in charge of all the others. "But..if you would rather, ill give you a week's time. If you can prove the colonists will peacefully come to an agreement,we won't go to war with them." He said formally. Arthur was beside himself. "Yes,of course, sir. Thank you so much.." He said, and ran off. He went into the town, but couldn't find any english guards. Last he checked, this place was well guarded. So where did they go? 'Slacking, probably.' he headed deeper into the village,searching for Alfred. He knew he'd be here. "Alfred?.." He called. He walked through the streets, unaware he was being followed. Before he knew what was happening, a sack was thrown over his head, and he was knocked out.
Arthur slowly awoke, his vision a little blurry. "England…?" a small voice said. "Sir,we found this filthy Englishman coming to sabotage us." an adult voice said roughly,grasping Arthur's hair. The sack had been removed awhile before he'd awoken. Probably after they reached the camp. "Thats not possible...I know him..he'd never..sabotage my people." The young voice from earlier 's eyes tried to focus, and when they did, they locked on a small dirty-blonde haired boy. "England..is that true…? Did you come to sabotage us..?" Alfred asked, cupping Arthur's cheeks with his small hands. "No, no of course not...i came to speak with you.." He responded, and tried to free himself to hug the other. "Its alright..release him.." Alfred ordered,and gladly embraced Arthur. "England...you said you'd fix everything..but things have gotten worse. I cant keep letting my people live like this." He said. "Im sorry, but i cant come home anymore….Take him to the river, let him find his way home." Alfred said,turning away. "Alfred? What-What are you saying-?! Dont- Dont do this! Please!"
"I'm thirteen, England. Its time for me to make my own ,England." was all he heard before everything went black.
