After the French and Indian war was over, I had something else to deal with. I went back to the town and learned some horrible things. Britain rule was upping our taxes on a lot of things, including tea. I was beyond angry. I got back in the woods so no one knew about blueberry.
"Hey blue? I need to get back to Arty, quickly"
Blueberry nodded and instantly I was standing in front of Arthur which caused him to jump
"send a letter before you come by Alfred!"
He exclaimed in shock and held his chest. I stayed quiet and after a few moments he noticed and frowned.
"Alfred? what's wrong?"
"Why are you upping taxes? Many of the colonials barely have enough to pay the taxes you already have for us, along with keeping ourselves well!"
I exclaimed and I saw his face grow sad and he looked down.
"You will understand this one day, when you are older. but the queen made that choice, I had nothing to do with it, and I cannot argue the Queen's decree"
I frowned and didn't give him a chance to talk more, I went back to the colony right then, leaving Arthur standing in his home. A few days went by and some people decided to make a statement, and I joined, we threw all of the tea in the harbor, in the middle of the night because no one wanted to pay this tax, not in the least. I didn't realize it at the time, but that was the first thing to spiral into a few bad thing happening between me and Arthur.
