If only you knew (nyo face fam!)

Chapter four

"WE HAVE REACHED THE SHORE!!!" A crew member called. I was so nervous to finally see Amelia. "So do you know where the little bugger is?"Seamas asked. "Well yeah, she should still be living in the house...that we lived in together for some time." I looked back to the shore and got nervous. "The house is in Georgia ....north ,towards South Carolina." I started. Francis places his hand on my shoulder In a comforting way. "It will be okay, I am sure she will be relieved knowing that you traveled all the way from London to see her"

Once we were ready to leave the ship, I made sure I had my fan with me just in case. So no one sees my face. I have no idea if anyone might recognize me, better safe than sorry. After I stepped off the ship, I was bombarded with people trying to sell us things. "Good evening beautiful lady , how are you today" a man winked. "Back up" Francis pulled me away from the man and kept trying to make me walk faster. "Walk faster, there are too many people around!" I laughed as he tried to avoid people trying to sell us stuff.

"A lady does not rush" I said. My brothers, and Francis turned to look at me in disbelief. "Oh for god sake" Francis picked me up with one swoop and they all hurried out of the crowd away from the shipping docks. Little did I know our servants were trying to keep up with our fast movement behind us. "Put me down now" I pushed Francis away and managed to land on my feet. "I was just trying to get us out of that crowd" he defended. "Yes I know, but I could not just rush off"

"Damn, we do not have any transportation" Allistor stomped his foot on the ground and looked annoyed. "No worries, I will buy us a horse from the shop over there. I think they just sell a bunch of transportation stuff so it won't be that hard." I smiled at my brother , soon taking out my money. "Oh Liz, could you be a doll and fetch us our things?" I looked to the maid and the other servants. They all nodded at me and rushed back to the dock to grab our things. "While they do that, let's look at getting ourselves a ride"

I started walking ahead of everyone, which they followed behind me. "Get a cool horse!" Dylan laughed. Sometimes he acted like a child. Yet, he was older than I. Being used to military clothes never prepared me for what women actually wore. The corset was killing me, I never had to worry about one till now. "Do you think Madeline will be with Amelia?" Francis asked. I placed my hand on his shoulder nodding. "Yes, they spend a lot of time together you know. Madeline goes back to the French colonies four days out of the week"

Francis nodded at the information I had known. "you really know them a lot, I guess I was a bad father figure" Francis dropped his head in a sad motion,and I felt bad. "That was not your fault. We live across the ocean, it was hard for even me to keep up with everything. Then the treaty of Paris did not help in your favor." I looked to him in an apologetic way. "It is okay now, I just hope years from now we can forget about all this drama and just be....a family" Francis whispered the last part.

I laughed a bit at his behavior , and continued walking to the shop full of horses and carriages. "Okay you all wait out here, I do not need any distractions" everyone nodded at me in a gloom way. "I guess" Seamas whined. I shook my head at them annoyed and stepped inside the shop. "Excuse me, how much for those horses and a carriage?" I looked around towards the counter. The man there looked at me oddly and then stood up straight. "Excuse me?" He asked surprised. "You heard me, now how much?" I was beginning to become impatient.

"Who you asking for, your master?" He asked. I looked at him confused and showed him my money. "The horse and carriage is for me, and will be paid by me, so can you just sell me the best horse and carriage you have here?" I asked,but the man just started laughing at me. "Is there a problem sir?" I asked annoyed. I really had a short patience. I just wanted to make a simple buy, why was he acting this way. "Come in lady, where is your husband. I am sure he should be the one handling that kind of money"

"Excuse me? I am here to purchase from you aren't I? So I expect what I am asking for , especially since I have money. What was the man going to help me do? Hand you the money? I am perfectly fine on my own" I glared. "Look, I can't sell to you without your husband here, simple as that" he spoke. "Well he is right here" both the man and I stopped glaring at each other, turning to the door slowly. My eyes widened at the sight of Francis. "Francis! I told you to wait outside" I whispered.

"Sorry about my wife, she likes to get carried away sometimes. We would like a the best horse and carriage you have please" Francis ignored me and continued to talk to the man. I could not believe how he was acting towards me. "If I were you, I would get her on a leash" the man laughed. I looked to both of them in disbelief. Especially after Francis took my money from out of my hands. "Now then, I would like to buy" Francis continued to smile at the man. That disgusting man kept talking to Francis about punishing me, and I could tell that it was starting to bother him.
