The war was almost over, this is what John Luarens was thinking everyday, he had to get home, he had to marry his Peggy, ask her hand in marriage

Stay Alive

The voice would ring in his head every day, he must be vigilant

John...don't die

He sees her every night when he closes his eyes to dream, his dreams are filled with her memories.

Stay Alive John Luarens

He's walking with his troops back to base, it was quiet...too quiet.

Poke the bushes

He thinks as he takes his musket and stabs into them. His troops decided to do the same thing...when it happened, the ambush.

Left! Right! Behind You!

Excellent...he was doing it, not today.

BANG

He turns around slowly to see his enemy, a younger boy about...sixteen. He reaches out, then goes on his knees

I'm sorry...Margarita...

Tears rushed to his face, his mouth ran dry, his thoughts filled with thoughts of her, he failed. He could hear his men retreating, he can hear gunshots...he closes his eye

Farewell my love.

Peggy wakes up with a start, she heaves and raced to her chamber pot, she throws up everything and nothing.

John come home to me...

Everyday she goes to the church to pray for her lover's return. She fasted for days until she collapsed.

That's when she and her parents found out of her pregnancy, daddy, of course, was highly disappointed.

Her mother, she was lenient until she found out that the man was a solider.

John stay alive...

She cries as her mother brought a man to marry her. "No..." she sobs every night now.

I need you.

She was told that she'd marry Stephen next two months, they'd consummate and the child would be theirs.

I feel you...

She desperately wrote to the General to bring him home. Peggy doesn't want Stephen.

You're gone...

When Alexander came home with a letter in his hands and a distraught look, she knew, she ripped the letter to pieces and was craddled in Alexander's arms.

Down the hatch Margarita...that's it

A concoction, to kill her baby, grief stricken. However it didn't work, Alexander and Eliza was right on time. Her parents confined her to her room

Meanwhile...John was alive, his soliders had returned later, for the injured. John was still breathing...they took him to an abandoned hut. He was in comatose

Commander.

He stirs slightly.

He's not gonna wake up

He moved his fingers. They twitched slightly 

Commander Laurens

He frowns and whines, he couldn't open his eyes just yet

John! My love!

His eyes snapped open. He hears his Peggy's voice.
