Y/n pov

I'm the first awake . I can practically hear them groaning when they wake up, luckily for them I know how to make the magical drink known as the hang over cure

My dearly loved secret cure.

Exactly 5 mins after

4 hungover , throwing up and possibly, still drunk idiots came downstairs.

I laugh as Mulligan almost trips over the stairs .

We're currently in the empty bar because the landlord is still in bed , so technically this place is still closed.

doubt the owner will mind though, we should be gone by the time he wakes up.

-------------

After breakfast I wave goodbye to the lads , g-wash asked to see me before all new recruits are called for counting .

---------

After a 15 minute carriage ride I finally arrived at the campsite , honestly it's kinda dingy but oh well I'm here to kill not to judge.

"So m/n Hamilton how does it feel to kill legally?" Washington asks jokingly .

"Killing is killing whether its legal or illegal , cause in the end there dead" I say nonchalantly

"That's one way to put it " Washington murmers to himself .

A thought comes to my head " hey Washington, ya know if my father hadn't been killed by a British general I might have ended up working for the English army"

Washington looks horrified for a moment "if that hadn't happend we definitely wouldn't win this war " he says

"Glad you recognize my skills" I say smiling

"Alright then if you've got everything you can go to your tent and meet whoever your bunking with, I'll probably stop by later to check you haven't brutally massacred them" Washington looks down at a map that was laid out on the table

"See you daddy wash " I yell and quickly run before he realizes exactly what I said .

-------------

By the time I get to the tent that I've been assigned to, I could hear my bunkmates already being rowdy.

I open the flap to see none other then Alexander, John, Mulligan and Lafayette.

I smile "Hey fuckfaces" I shout getting all of there attention "M/N , holy shit you got the same tent as us?" Mulligan asks

"Seems like it tailor boy " I smile and stick my messenger bag on an unclaimed bed .

"Wait- how did you know I was a tailor?" Mulligan asks with wide eyes

"Simple observation , the way your fingers move when attending to clothing , and then there's the fact that you had 13 year-old me as an apprentice " I laugh the last part

"Wait what ?" Alex asks confused finally looking up from his paper that he was writing

"Yeah I was tasked with assassinating a British Admiral , he was too protected for a sniper shot, always had people testing his food so couldn't poison him. After a week my father had a plan , there was a chance it wouldn't work but it was worth a try , so my father got me an apprenticeship with a tailors shop, all it took was a single poisoned needle to the artery and he was dead with in 2 hours of leaving the shop" I flicked a small bug that had landed on the bed next to me .

"Wait you were Eleanor? Holy shit you looked so femine"

Alex gave me a quick worried glance

I turn over so that my face is buried in my pillow

There was a moment of silence before Lafayette broke it

"Mon Ami you've been everywhere " Lafayette's eyes are wide with surprise.

(I know somebody is going to make a sex joke 😶😑, I'd say not to but be my guest and make one )

To bad I haven't been in your pants , I feel my face heat up as I think to myself .

(To bad I made it first )

"You all right m/n?" John asks eyebrows furrowed at my red face

"I'm fine just tired" I yawn ( I yawned while writing that , who else yawned?)

Le time skipppppppy brought to you by daveed diggs fit body

After around half an hour of light resting , I eventually get up and wander around the camp to see who I could spot .

After a little while I spot a familiar person stood by a tree all alone

"Hey burr " I walk over to the bald egg

"Oh hey - , I'm sorry I didn't catch your name? " Burr apologizes

"It's m/n Hamilton " I smile at him

I chat with Burr before finally waving goodbye and leaving him.

Were to know ? I think to myself before spotting a small trail that leads to the woods.

Ahhh fuck it , what have I got to lose? I shrug to myself before walking off into the woods .

Le time skipppppppy

I've been walking for a while now , I'd turn back but I've got a weird feeling , like someone's watching me , I hate the feeling .

I look around when I hear a twig snap .

I pull my sword out and place it on the neck of the person who was creeping about , I breathe heavily

" Vous aves des réflexes rapides " laffayette breathes out heavily as my sword presses against his throat .

(You have fast reflexes)

"When your fearing for your life everyday all you have are your reflexes " I laugh a little

Lafayette pov

I'd been walking around for a while until I spotted a small trail leading off into the woods , I was bored so I went down it .

I was walking around when I spotted someone silently  walking in the
shadows , I walked a little closer to see it was only m/n , I decide to follow him to see what he was doing in the woods..

I'd been following for a couple minutes before I accidentally stepped on a twig my weight snapping it .

He turned around a sword pressed to my throat

For a moment I saw fear in his eye before it was replaced with coldness

I was speechless for a moment , and even when I did get my speech back all I could say was.

" Vous aves des réflexes rapides "

He smiled a little and put the sword back in its holder

"When your fearing for your life everyday all you have are your reflexes "  he laughed but it was hollow .

"May I walk with you?" I ask wanting to learn more about this mysterious person who has turned up out of the blue , but seems to have been everywhere .

He smiles and starts to walk

"Your welcome to join me " he laughs
