Dear Big Brother,
I'm sorry it has been about a week since my last letter, I promise i'm okay. I have just got caught up in my lessons. Pocahontas has taught me to hunt and make my own bow and arrow. She said I shot a bow and arrow like one of the master hunters. I don't think I have ever used one have I? I think the most I used was a sword. I remember playing with a sword when I was younger, and one of your pistols. i surprised her when I carried the dear I had shot back to camp on my own. The people here actually have me helping with getting food for meals. She taught me what can and cannot be harvested which is really cool. I am learning so much. I haven't seen that woman again though, you sure you don't know who she is? I would really like to know. I feel like she is watching each of my lessons and everything. But when I turn around I don't see her. I miss you lots, cant wait to see you again.

Love from a loving son and little brother,
Alfred Kirkland

When Arthur got that letter he sighed in relief and went straight to France and hugged him tight "Alfie is alright, he just has been busy with the people he has been staying with" he shows France the letter "see? I told you Anglettere" France replied and hugged him "you worried over nothing"

I was no longer wearing the clothes that I came here with, im wearing the same clothes that the men in the tribe wear. They are really comfortable too. I went with Pocahontas for my new lesson for today. She is teaching me how to swim. The trail we took meant me walking on rocks, and without shoes too. It was really easy since I had been without shoes for a while now.

"You ready Alfred?"

I simply nodded and she handed me a stick with a string and hook connected and showed me the technique. We stood by the river fishing for about an hour before I heard gun shots. I looked up, Pocahontas did not seem to notice

"Alfred, concentrate on your lesson"

I blinked and looked at her "I heard a gun shot...and its not too far away"

her head popped up and looked at me. "let us go quickly then"

I nod and put my pole to the side and she does the same and we silently and swiftly ran to where I heard the gun shot. When we arrived I saw her run to the person and kneal by her with tears running down her face and she screamed out and held the person's head to her chest and rocked her. I did a quick check for people and when I saw none I went to her and realized it was her best friend, Kaya I believe. Her and Pocahontas where practically sisters. I knealed next to her and she ignored me as I tried to comfort her. Finally she looked at me.

"get my father...tell the tribe"

I nod and get up and quickly run back to the village and went straight to the chief. Using the little amount of words I had learned from their language I tried to explain what happened.

"kaya, hurt, gun" (the words he used translated to English, I don't know how to string the words into the language, some words I can though)

The chief's eyes widened and he called out for the hunters and warriors and a few healers and they followed me back to where Pocahontas was. The chief went straight to the two girls and I stayed back, I was sad that this had happened. So I came up with an idea and I went back to the camp and got my normal clothes and went to some trees outside the settlement and changed before walking into town. I listened to the people and it broke my heart as to what they said.

"The stupid savages are attacking us again"
"They want to kill us"
"One tried to attack me and I shot it not too long ago"
"They are trespassing on our land"
"Great Britan doesn't even care about us any more, they left us here to die. Out taxes are being upped and tea is to expensive now"

I want to cry out and scream that my big brother did care. But I knew I would be looked at like I was insane. I then walked back to the forest and left my tribal clothes in their hiding spot and found a good and concealed spot.

"blueberry...can you send me to big brother's house? I need to talk to him"

she nods and flies around me and my eyes closed. When I woke up I was lying in the library at home and big brother was shaking me.

"Alfred? Alfred, can you hear me?"

"yes big brother...I hear you...and I need to talk to you"

his eyes narrowed

"did something happen?"

"you can say that...yes"

sorry I dissapered for so long, my summer was so busy, I will try to update more now, but I am in college now, it may be a little hard for me, but I will do my best
