That morning I woke to screams and gunshots. I snapped awake, and grabbed my bayonet.
"Whats going on?" I ask.
"Brits fired on our camp." scoffs Alex.
"Don't worry, they're fools to attack this camp." says Laurens.
"Funny how you finish each other's sentences..." I say, cracking a grin.
We charge into the fray. I've been studying bayonets for the last couple months. I have a good idea how to use one. I fire gunshots at random, trying to hit redcoats and avoid all our soldiers. I don't notice the Brit sneaking up on me.
He grabs me, and I instinctively drop my bayonet and punch him in the jaw. He only looks mildly annoyed. I puches back, meaner, harder. I duck. It goes on like this until I get close enough to the bayonet, and I plunge it into his stomach. He crumples.
I fire my gun. It only clicks. I'm out of ammunition.
"Need some ammo?" asks Lafayette as he throws me some.
I don't reply. I reload my gun and fire again.
"RETREAT!" someone yells, and the British troops recede into the distance.
SHORT CHAPPIE YAY......
