Aaron Burr, Sir

2. He Escaped

2. He escaped.

Aaron caught the next ship towards South Carolina. He sought refuge in his daughter, his dear Theodosia.

Sweet Theodosia, she protected her father as best as she could. She provided him a roof, food, comfort. She looked at him the same way as before he became a murderer.

But he was a coward.

He couldn't stand the way his daughter's eyes shone with love, care. He didn't deserve her love, he was nothing more than a sinner.

So he moved to Philadelphia, where he tried to regain courage. Then, he moved to Washington. He was still Vice-President, he still needed to complete his term.

In Washington, his life only went downhill. Jefferson accused him of treason; he was accused of murder in both, New York and New Jersey. The public insulted him, spit on him, killed him little by little.

He finished his term, and fled over the oceans to Europe. In England, he tried to start a new life.

But that night always haunts his dreams. He hears the gunshot whenever he listens to the nature around him. As he lies in bed, it is not the soft candlelight he sees, instead, his mind is plagued by the fire in Alexander's eyes slowly dying, the flame going out along with Alexander's life.

During the day, however, Aaron tried to begin something new, and he was doing well. He started gaining money, gaining influential friends. Slowly, his life seemed to have a sparked once again.

That is, until he came across Angelica Schuyler.
