Sticks and Stones (William Tavington x OC)

Warning PG-13 some mild language and adult situation.

In the year 1812, the British army started a war with America, and they were determined to concur the country and take the land as their own.

a lonely American woman, who didn't have family or anyone to speak of, lived on her own off of the land, and worked for anyone to be paid or in return get food.

she started working for Lord Cornwallis as his errand runner, it was a stable job but dangerous and potentially put her life at risk.

if she was to ever displease him in any kind of way, she could get into serious trouble.

that being said, she wasn't familiar to many of the soldiers, all but James Wilkins, a man she knew for six years had joined the British army and became a Green Dragoon Captain.

she doesn't pretend to know why.

James is a bit of a coward, but she still cares about him.

she doesn't care to worry much about the war anyway.

when she ends up meeting the Colonel of the Green Dragoon's, Colonel Tavington, they don't get along well.

she's a kind person but even so she won't hesitate to become vicious or devious if someone bites at her.

they continue not to get along, only because he's the one with the anger issues, and hates the fact that she stands up to him.

but after an encounter that nearly killed her, he starts to shift his feelings about her.
