A Strong Girl In A Weak Mans World(lafayette x reader)

chapter 6. Battlefields and Nightmares

Lafayette pov

I arrived at the tent to see Mon Amie Hercules patching up an old pair of pants, Lauren's asleep and Alexander writing ..... Again ....

No offence to Alex but I hope his brother doesn't write as much as he does

Suddenly m/n walks into the tent hes smiling and smells a little bit like smoke although I don't question it

Y/n pov

"Alex stop fucking writing I'm trying to sleep " I grumbled and turn over to look at my brother whose candle is still flickering sending dancing shadows across the walls

"Gimme a minute " he grumbles at me

No chance

I stand up and blow out his candle before climbing back into bed

"Asshole " I heard my brother say

I smirked as I threw a pillow at him in the dark and slowly drifted of to sleep

___________

I yawned and stretched then looked around they were all asleep it was probably just dawn which was a normal time for me to awake

I stood and wobbled towards my trunk I needed a drink

I pulled a bottle of brandy and went outside to clean up a bit

_________

As I was fixing my hair Alexander walked out

"Hey " he said yawning slightly

I take a swig of brandy there's only a bit of left and I was only just feeling the buzz of it

"The rest up yet ?" I ask

"No.... Can I ask you something .....?" Alex asks

"Fire away " I say chucking the now empty bottle into the another tent

"Have you seen the way Lafayette looks at you ? " Alex asks

"I don't know , have you seen the way John looks at you " is what I want to say back

"What you think I'd want to be with him , whether he was a boy or girl I wouldn't want to go out with him " Lafayette says harshly coming out of the tent looking right at me as he says the words his eyes narrow and cruel

I feel my heart shatter

I look back at Alex my eyes brimming with tears

His face is twisted and cruel he spits on the ground next to me .

" Your just scum you know that don't you , bet you can't even read , god that's pathetic " Alex laughs maliciously

I feel tears pour out of my eyes

.........

BOOM

I hear the cannons and guns go

I fire up from my bed it had all been a nightmare

But now I'm in a different nightmare , one I can't wake up from

I look around to see Mulligan and Alexander gone , John getting his boots on and Lafayette sorting his guns out , the British were upon us

I rolled out of bed at record breaking time and changed into better clothing

I grabbed my guns and swords and left with Lafayette

After a few minutes of running we come to the front of the battle field , I get right in to the fight

I'm slashing killing and slicing through redcoats like there's no tomorrow, if i don't there might not be .
