~a few decades later; 1773~
Serena's POV
I couldn't believe England's own magic could bring me back to life, I didn't even understand why he did that. England told me that he was trying to make America; one of the two boys England has been taking care of, to see me.
I did notice that America and Canada got taller; I note that they are now taller than England. I could tell that he was shocked, since it had been awhile since both of us saw them; England forced me to come along with him when he left. I also heard news of America's people starting to rebel against England and the crown, ruled by King George III.
Even Canada started to notice when the news came to his land, even though Canada's land is English territory. But I could tell that none of England's people over across the Atlantic was thrilled about hearing this. Though I have heard some people who wanted to stay under the crown.
Third person view
England walked around Richmond to see posters depicting the recent Boston Tea Party, "I can't believe he did that. It's a waste of tea." He growled to himself. England knew that Serena heard what happened.
"Can you believe this Serena?" England asked, noticing that his mirror image looked a bit older. As if the affect of Serena aging like England never faded after that happened. "It's a sign." Serena asked, watching a few people discussing what had just occurred. "W-What do you mean Serena?" England questioned, noticing that his mirror image's eyes were somewhat glassy.
"What I mean is that it's a sign that the time of war is approaching." Serena answered, "And rather quickly." England stared at Serena in shock, just because America and Canada were taller then him now, didn't mean they would just become independent. Serena's mouth gaped open as she spoke once more.
"Be aware; the time of war is coming; what you see right now might fade in an instant. The one you hold close could loosen its grip from you and walk off; like a small bird leaving its mother's nest. Even one who once assisted you in raising the small birds may turn their back against you." Serena whispered, "Please be careful and remember what I say."
The English nation stood in awe; it seemed that Serena gained the ability to see the future. "W-Will that actually happen?" He asked, noting that America was getting more rebellious lately. As if his colony was planning something.
"I do not know England. If it does remember it; it might help you. But everything leaves and moves on. How you think the seasons change? Spring becomes Summer, Summer becomes Autumn, Autumn becomes Winter, and Winter becomes Spring. It is a cycle that never stops, but it allows the Earth and everyone on it, to replenish themselves and possibly change in some way." Serena answered as she guided him to a pond.
"But relationships that were once broken, can be fixed. We all have our ups and downs with others. Though you have gained more power, you might not know that." Serena continued as England just watched the ripples she made in the pond.
But England noticed how some of the water was red from the sunset. "Blood will be spilled soon enough; but everyone falls at some point; and everyone rises at some point as well. Just like seasons; who controls things will change. It will change somewhat, or remain the same. That depends on what happens during that time." Serena continued.
~a few hours later~
The originator and mirror image eventually came back to the house that once had a family decades ago, as England saw tears down Serena's face, as she whispered once more. "It seems you are destined to suffer. But remember; sadness and suffering can create strength." England couldn't even understand what his mirror image had said earlier; it sounded like a prophecy of some sort. And with what Serena just said, it made that somewhat worse.
"I'll remember Serena. Let's just go to sleep; it's been a long day for both of us." England finally spoke as Serena nodded.
'Is America really planning to leave my side?' England asked himself as he tried to sleep.
authors note
Sorry for this chapter being half the length of a normal one. This chapter is mainly a warning to England that he will lose both America and Serena (again). I also wanted to lengthen this story just a little bit longer. All of what's in italics is thing that are important future chapters and important advice that Serena gives to England; since she is sometimes like his physic.
I forgot to mention, but in chapter 3, the song Adolescence is referenced. There is no reference to any song in this chapter. Sorry if anything is historically inaccurate.
