December 26th, 1778

"Your not thinking this through" Eben pushed his heel into a spark of fire permanently putting it out in the snow 

"I agree," I mumbled 

"You're going to get shot!" Benny continued on mumbling on "He's has a sharp eye, James." Going over this with them was such a bad idea

"Go over this with Colenal Laurens," Edwards stated, "Doesn't he seem like a good second anyway" 

"He was planning on just brawling with him, First time you said anything" Benny snapped The smoke filled the room from the fire and the wood was burning out so I shifted some in my arms and cautiously placed it in a dome circle 

"I should really go,"

"Colonel Laurens," I nearly curtioused He looked at me weird "I was told to discuss this with you" Other men around him stared at me all there hair was in a low ponytail, And there blue coat stating that they were of high ranking "May I sit?" They all nodded with Jin in their hands it was strong, "So what is it?" A shorter man asked I nodded in agnolagment "I need a second,... A duel per-say" I stated nearly stuttering "Against Lee, General Charles Lee. He said some things about the father that cannot go un-Ignored" They all stared in astonish none of them said anything "Il est un bon coup"He spoke in French "Je sais, je ne m'attends pas à gagner mais ça va prouver mon point" I replied  "Moi, It was only a question, sir, I'm impressed" He replied in English I was confused "Oh- Uh thank you,.. I learned with my moth-" The short one interrupted "I'll be your second you seem reliable!" He sounded joyful. I nodded, "This afternoon, Half past noon, in a wood situate near the 4 Mile point?" I asked they all nodded "Your name?" My eyes widened in shock "Pologies, James, No last name sir," Laurens pointed to the short one "Alexander Hamilton," Then to the one who spoke French "Marquis de Lafayette," How did I not recognize all these elite men

Shots fired and a scream came out of Lee, and others mouths. I didn't notice It hit me right in between my right floating rib. Blood rushed out of my mouth before I collapsed and dirtied the snow with red dye
