Chapter 5
In the next few weeks, the malitia had won every battle they were in. They had then successfully taken General Cornwallis' possessions. Furniture, memos, his dogs, and even his journal! It had now been 7 weeks since the malitia had joined. Each man was given a week to go home and attend to their families. On this occasion, Spot traveled to Pembrooke to see Kristine.
When he reached the town, and entered the Howard's home, Mr. Howard was sitting at his desk. Kristine wasn't anywhere in sight.
"Well, well, well!" "You're still alive!" Mr. Howard joked.
"Mr. Howard, I've come to call on Kristine."
"She was just here...."
Kristine approached Spot from behind and put her hands over his eyes.
"Guess who!"
"As if I need to guess, Kristine!"
He turned around and hugged her.
"I hope you are alright." She said concerned.
"Well I wasn't, but now I am since I saw you!"
She hit him on his shoulder and smiled at him.
That night, Spot spent the night at the Howard's. Mr. Howard let Kristine and Spot sleep in the same bed, only if he wore a bundling bag. After Mrs. Howard finished sewing the bag onto him, they left the room.
"Kristine, you are so beautiful!"
"Oh, stop it!"
"No really, you are!"
He kissed her softly and then harder to make it more passionate. Spot slid easily out of the bundling bag and proceeded to kiss her. He laid her softly down on the bed and began to unlace her nightgown. She then fumbled with the buttons on his shirt and pulled it off. Then she moved down to unbutton his pants. Once all the clothing was removed, Spot began to kiss her again. Starting at her lips and moving down her chest. When he thrusted himself inside her, she opened her mouth to cry out in pain, but he closed it with a kiss. He slid his tongue in her mouth. As he removed himself from her, she let out a small moan. He then lay down beside her and looked into her eyes.
"I love you, Kristine."
"And I you, Spot."
"Will you marry me, Kristine?"
She smiled.
"That is, after I ask your father for permission."
"Of course I will, Spot!"
He kissed her and they went to sleep.
That next week, Spot and Kristine were married. Not a very big wedding, but it was beautiful. The next day, Spot had to go back with the malitia.
"I'll see you in Pembrooke soon, Spot."
"Not soon enough."
He kissed her and left.
A couple of months had passed and the malitia was on a roll. Winning every battle, killing over 300 redcoats each time. General Lord Cornwallis was not happy. Cornwallis then sent Colonel Tavington out to find any civilians that were helping the malitia.
Kristine and her family arrived at their home and the entire village was going into the church. The British Redcoats were all around. One of the Green Dragoons approached them.
"Everyone has been requested to gather at the church." "Colonel Tavington wishes to address the village."
When the entire village was in the church, Colonel Tavington rode into the church on his horse.
"This town has given supplies to the malitia." "I wish to know their whereabouts." "So.... anyone who comes forward will be forgiven their treason."
The church was silent.
"Very well, you had your chance."
"Wait, these people here give the malitia supplies." He said pointing to the Howard family.
"Quiet!" Mr. Howard said.
"East of Black Swamp...."
"He's a liar!" Kristine yelled.
"By the Old Spanish Mission."
"Thank you very much."
"Captain, bring these people outside and shut the doors."
"Wait, but you said that we'd be forgiven!"
"And indeed you may, but that's between you and God!"
The redcoats pushed the Howard family outside and locked the church doors.
Kristine started to cry while Colonel Tavington started to load his pistol. He put 3 shots into it and fired first at Mr. Howard. Then he shot Mrs. Howard, and stopped. He saw the look in Kristina's eyes. For the first time in his life, he felt bad for the thing he was about to do. He regretted it, but he then shot Kristine in the head. The redcoats then burned the church with the residents of Pembrooke inside.
Colonel Tavington thought to himself, "This'll be forgotten."
