Authors note: OK I am writing this in honor of dear, sweet Thomas (Yeah I know more people focus on Gabriel's death) the first half is Thomas' POV and the second half is Gabriel's POV. This is really kind of drak and angsty. What do you expect?!? This is from when Thomas died just so you know. And I don't say Tavington's name because I don't see how Thomas could have known his name at the time of his death. I was bored, heard the word "patriot" on the Boston Pops Goes the 4th thing and got a sudden flash of inspiration. That's my explanation for this. Enjoy (Yeah right...)
Our Last Moment
Gabriel...? Why is this our last moment together Gabriel? If ever I envisioned the last time we saw eachother at worst it was when you left with the army to fight... But never did I see this. Never saw me protecting you when father should have... Never, not even in reality, saw that officer pull out the gun I have just been shot with. I was only trying to help you. I just wanted to save you, brother... Why is he killing me for that? I don't want to die here! I am honored to die for you, my brother but I don't understand why I have too... Why didn't father do something? Why did he leave it to me? Why was I the only one who tried to keep you here with us? Am I the only one who wanted you alive? They're taking you away from us now. I cannot see them taking you just barely hear you screaming my name... I can't see anything now... I feel father holding me... Gabriel... Why...?
What have you done...? Thomas! How could you have done something so foolish! I am prepared to die... The honor to die in this war isn't meant to be yours... This can't be... This just can't be our last moment little brother... It seems like this moment where our eyes meet as you fall to the ground is eternal... I don't want to die brother... I see in your eyes you don't want to either... I am glad you cared so much for me but I never asked for you to give your life... No you didn't give it you threw it away... God, Thomas how could you be so foolish! You were surrounded by enemy soldiers all of whom had guns and their commander threatened you and the younger siblings... Of course father wouldn't do something right then and there! This moment... The one I thought eternal is over... You've fallen... Damn them! These cowards! They shoot children! They shoot my little brother and now won't let me try to help you! Father why didn't you hold him back! Why did this battle have to take place here... My home is ruined... I've as good as lost my life and now I have lost you... I've lost my brother...
