Early America

Will

I look at Isa, "Would your family have left into town by now?"

Isa

I nod, "Yes."

Will

I glance back at the window and hesitate before standing, "Let's go. We're not safe here."

Isa

I swallow, "I-I can't go."

Will

I study her, "Why not?"

Isa

I hesitate, "My parents...they are forcing me to stay home. Told me to stay indoor--" Someone knocks down the door and my face palens.

Will

I tense and glance at the door before looking at her, "You're British. They won't do anything to you. I-I'll be right behind you; but I can't answer the door for you."

Isa


They knock it down, stomping in before looking at me, "Isabel Price?"

I nod, swallowing, "Yes?"

"Come with us."

Will

I study her, not sure what to say.

Isa

I glance at Will, taking his hand, "Hes coming too."

They nod, leading us out, "So be it."

Will

I compose myself and swallow, staying at Isabel's side.

Isa

I sigh, following them.

I squeeze Isa's hand, looking around nervously.

Isa

They crowd us on both sides, leading us into a warehouse.

Will

My chest tightens in anxiety, keeping Isa close.
