Ever since you were younger, you wanted to do something more than just marry a rich man and live the rest of your life as a house wife.
Your parents knew this but didn't know it would lead you into sneaking into the war effort disguised as a man.
"God this was such a bad idea." You say as you tried to make your binded chest less uncomfortable.
You've been fighting the war for the past 8 months and you couldn't feel more alive. You were a spy with Hercules Mulligan to steal plans from the British and return them back to your commanding officers.
After spying with Hercules for the past couple months, you couldn't help but develop feelings for the man. He always cared for you and made sure you were comfortable which sometimes causes problems with you as you had to hide your blush in these occasions. Although he was your closest friend, you couldn't allow anyone to know your true identity.
Every mission you went on Hercules was a successful one since the two of you were so close and worked together well. However, a mission went wrong when General Washington commanded you two to bring an extra solider along.
"I don't know, Herc. I think Benedict will just mess up the mission." You say to your partner in crime as you packed up your supplies.
Hercules sighed, "He's fine, (L/N). We're the best spies of the revolutionaries and Washington letting him come with us shows he'll be fine."
"I know, but I get a bad feeling about him." You shook your head.
Hercules sighed again but just replied to hurry up and the three of you were leaving at dawn.
The mission was simple enough. Go into British territory, find out there plans for the next battle, and get out.
This was an easy mission and you and Hercules have been through harder missions, so it didn't worry you too much about bringing Benedict.

After many hours walking, you finally reached the outskirts of the British camp, so the three of you changed into red coats in switch of your normal blue ones. Although the plan was meant for you to be kept out of sight, the disguises were just for precaution if something went wrong.
The three of you snuck into the camp, inching closer and closer to the commanding officer's tent which sat right in the middle. You were silent, afraid if you made a sound it would wake up the entire English army.
Successfully, without any intrusion, you made it to the tent.
"Alright (L/N)," Hercules whispered. "You and Benedict go in and grab the plans. I'll stay here and keep watch."
You nodded and the two of you quietly snuck in the tent. You checked your surroundings to see the snoring British commander and on his side were the plans you needed. You stealthily walked around the sleeping commander and was about to grab the plans from him when the man's head suddenly snapped up.
You almost screamed but Benedict grabbed hold of your waist tightly and wrapped a hand around your mouth. You started thrashing your body to get out of his grasp but you efforts were futile.
"Well well well, guess we finally caught one of the infamous spies from the patriots," The man spoke to you as he stalked around the room. "And it's all thanks to Benedict for leading you right to us."
Your eyes widened, you knew that Benedict was not who he said he was. You tried to break from his hold but it was no use. He led you outside of the tent and into the forest nearby to tie you tightly to a tree. You tried to break out of the roped but they didn't budge.
