{"Élise! What the hells the matter?!" Alex yells at me. "M-Merde! The British are coming back!" I yell louder at him. His eyes widen.}
" Élise! You are kidding me, right ?! How do you know if they are?" Alex says . We practically ran home when he heard the news. "I- i saw British soldiers at the docks!" I yell , " they were talking about a surprise attack!" I continue." When?!" Alex says , throwing his soldiers uniform on, grasping my shoulders. " tonight. 10pm just outside the library." I say , my mint eyes meeting Alex's brown ones. He hugs me tightly. " Stay here, understand? Lock the doors and don't let anyone in. Whatever you do don't go out and especially don't go downtown, got it sis?!" He says. I have to help."but I can help, Alex!" "Élise please listen to me." He says, almost tearing up. "Fine. Yes. Fine." I say nodding , pulling away from him. He grabs his rifle and runs out. John waves at me and leaves with Alex. I lock the doors and fall asleep on the couch. I awake to pounding on the window in my living room. "Ugh" I say with a sigh and walk to the window. "THOMAS?!" I yell and open the window. Thomas falls into the room and I slam the window shut and lock it. I look at him on the floor and as he smiles I kick him in the chest. "Agh owww. What the helll, Élis?!"
"Thomas! You complete idiot!!! I thought you were a redcoat!" I yell at him.
" I just wanted to make sure you were safe!" He growls, getting up and leaning on his cane. I naturally grab his cane out from under him and he stumbles a bit. I push him with the cane to his chest. This causes him to sit down on the couch. " Safety is not as important as my brother is to me. For all we know, right now he could be dead . Meanwhile, your sneaking in his house to see his younger sister! He probably thinks you'll try and take advantage of-" I don't get to finish as Thomas slams his lips against mine and pulls me onto his lap. He tosses his cane aside and puts his hands so they're cupping my face. I don't move. I'm internally freaking out and trying to figure a strategy out of this mess since his arms are now around my waist. All I have to say is he has a strong grip.
