Hi. Just updating my stories, I'm still sick. But hey to all Baseball fans did you catch the A's and Angels game last night? Go A's! I'm such a big A's fan my brother has like twenty hats, anyway. Here's chapter nine.
Ch 9
Anita and William left immediately for Fort Carolina, Anita held Joseph in a light blanket as the carriage bumped along on the road. William rode outside on his stallion. He was already in his Dragoon uniform and leaned in to talk to Anita.
" Are you going to be alright?" He asked.
She pulled Joseph closer to her, and replied.
" Mother was the only person who ever understood me fully next to you, I try hard to think she is in peace."
William nodded; he understood what it was like to lose a mother. His own mother had died when he was fourteen, leaving him and his siblings to fend for themselves. His father had left the children to spend time in London, wasting the money he had promised them. Joseph had fallen asleep as the carriage pulled towards the large building. Anita was drowsy from all the events when suddenly; General O'Hara rode up to them.
" Colonel, My Lady, I'm here to escort you the rest of the way."
William frowned and looked over at Anita. She violently shook her head, no.
" I think we are fine General, now if you will excuse me I have to get my family inside." William said.
O'Hara frowned and protested.
" But his Lordship ordered it." He smirked.
Anita had been listening to everything scooted over and stuck her head out the window.
" Would you go?" She hissed.
O'Hara sat ignoring her.
" MOVE IT NOW OR AS GOD AS MY WITNESS I WILL PERSONALLY COME OUT THERE AND STRANGLE YOU, YOU SELF CENTERED PEACOCK!" She snapped.
O'Hara turned whiter than he already was if that was even possible. And miraculously Joseph was still sleeping.
" General?" William asked.
O'Hara turned his horse around and rode back to the fort.
" Well done, My Lady." William smiled.
" Your welcome." She smirked.
