Your eyes fluttered open but immediately you winced at the bright light of the sun almost blinding you. At best, you protected your sight with your hand. Your eyes were still struggling to be used to the new light, a big contrast to the dark slumber you were in a few minutes ago.

As though the slightest pain in your eyes seemed to vanish, you could now feel the wind blowing your hair around, the marine air entering your nostrils and the muddy dirt under you made you take conscious of the reality.

-"Uhm, (Y/N), are you okay?" The voice of (B/F/N) made you completely leave your transe and sleepiness as you looked at them. They seemed to have woken up a whole earlier than you.

-"Oh, yes. I'm alright don't worry." You replied, smiling a bit sheepishly at them. You stretched up a bit and looked at your surroundings. You were at the border of the sea, and some ships were sailed around the area. But, no soul was seen, and no sound was heard.

-"...Where's... everyone?" You asked in confusion. Usually there would be always people walking and working around the sea, fishing, bringing back merchandises, etc... The huge navy ships next to you made it clear people were here, British as it seemed by the flags. (B/F/N) looked around as well, their eyes scrutinizing the zone. They somewhat seemed a bit fearful.

-"I don't know. But surely it doesn't mean a great thing..." They mumbled, frowning a bit. Silence came upon you, as you tried to hear any sound, but there was none. Only the waves crashing on the beach and boats. Not even seagulls were heard, like if life just had disappeared for a moment.

"It's weird..." You muttered to yourself, frowning as well. But soon, you started walking and motioned to them to come over.

-"Come, there's no point in just staying in one place." You spoke up as you started climbing up a sand dune. While you were both walked up the small hill, a  new smell triggered your nostrils.

-"Is there something burning?" (B/F/N) asked as they scrunched their nose, you too recognised the smell of smoke.

-"Surely, but it doesn't seem like a big fire." You replied, as you quickened a bit to look over the dune, it didn't smell like there was a dangerous blaze going on.

Once you both went down the hill the other side you saw there was effectively something burning, but you couldn't quite identify it. You both approached carefully the fire, even if it was small, embers could still blow around.

-"It looks like a flag." (B/F/N) noticed, you nodded in agreement it definitely was a flag. You tilted your head to scrutinize it more, but it was difficult since the flames were already devouring it.

-"It... looks like the British flag." You said as you recognised the imperial flag. (B/F/N) tilted their head before they recognised it.

-"Ah...yes it is..." They replied. Another silence fell as you both just observed as the flag slowly disappeared under the flames.

-"It doesn't seem like it was accidental. Someone burnt it in purpose." (B/F/N) remarked, their eyebrows furrowing a little as a bad feeling made its way to them. You nodded before shrugging a little.

-"It seems so. But don't forget we're in the beginning of the revolutionary years. Even if it's not now Thirteen Colonies will declare independence (We're still a few years before 1776), it's logical there's still tension." You explained your point of view, (B/F/N) didn't seem much convinced but finally gave up.

-"Alright, alright. I just... I'm afraid I changed the thing and the revolution will happen sooner because of me." They sighed out. You raised an eyebrow in confusion.

-"Why do you think that?" You asked them, a bit confused on why they think they changed the course of history. They breathing in before explaining.

-"Well, the day where he threatened me and choked me, I somewhat sliped out a hint of the future, and I think he caught it." (B/F/N) told you and looked down with a frown. You seemed a bit less comfortable knowing that but you still tried to be positive.

-"Now, (B/F/N) why would you think that? I'm sure he didn't catch it. Plus, what was the hint you did slip out?" You asked them in slight uneasiness.

-"W-well... he was starting to threaten me, saying he was much stronger than me and I replied he couldn't even do a revolution against his father." They told you, frowning at themselves, seeing you didn't speak they continued.

-"When I said that he froze, and he looked like he was contemplating things in shock, that means he really caught it!" (B/F/N) exclaimed and put their head into their hands. You blinked a bit as you seemed to unfroze, you were starting to be a bit uneasy now.

-"But why would you say that?!" You asked them, feeling the stress raising, they too seemed to panic as they waved their arms around.

-"It wasn't my fault!! I was in my 'sassy' mood!!" (B/F/N) replied. You both looked at eachother in nervousness before you breathed out.

-"ok... let's just... ignore this, surely it's not as bad as it sounds." You said, trying to calm them down. (B/F/N) gulped before nodded.

-"Yeah, I think it's not-" They were cut off by the sound of a small explosion from the other side of the dune, where they were before next to the beach and ships. You both shared a look before stealthily walking up the hill and carefully looked over it. You both winced at the loud sounds of wood breaking and when you realised what was happening your eyes opened more in shock.

The British ships you were next to earlier were now burning to the ground, you could see some people throwing some boxes over the boats which just exploded in contact. The wood was cracking and breaking from every side and soon one has already crumbled apart. You and (B/F/N) were kinda in a small transe as you tried to think of what was happening. But the smell of the fire and smoke made it clear that whatever it was, it was really happening.

-"What are they doing?" (B/F/N) whisper-yelled as you two were laying flat on your stomaches on the sand as you could look at the scene before you without being seen.

-"I don't have the slightest idea." You whispered back as you scrutinised the people who were burning down the boats. They were too far away for you to recognise the flag.

While you two were too busy trying to comprehend what was happening, you didn't hear the footsteps behind you, only the (now familiar) feeling of a rifle against your neck made you realise the presence behind you.

-"You! What are you two doing here? Are you allies with those bastards?!" A unfamiliar masculine voice exclaimed. You winced at the loud screaming. (B/F/N) seemed to be afraid but you were starting to get used to it. I mean, it's better if you don't count how many times a gun was pointed at you.

You raised your hands to show you didn't mean no harm and turned your head around so you could see him, you noticed by the flag on his cheek that he was British. When he saw you his eyes widened and he lowered down his weapon.

-"Bloody hell!! You're Lady/Sir (Y/N), aren't you?! Everyone in the empire is looking for you! The emperor is so worried about you!" He exclaimed, his eyes widened as he easily recognised you, I mean, when you're the only one who looks different with colored skin, hair and eyes it makes sense.

You pursued your lips and sweatdropped at what he said, no crap British Empire would order his whole empire to look for you. It just made you even more nervous. When (B/F/N) heard this they turned around as well, breathing out of relief when they saw he stopped pointing his weapon at you two.

-"Well...uhm... yes, it's me..." You mumbled, scratching your neck in awkwardness. Since you didn't know what to do, you simply stood up and after wiping all the sand off you you pulled a hand for (B/F/N) to take before they wiped themselves as well. The British man was still looking at both of you and you could almost see the gears turning in his head.

"But for the love of God what are you doing in the Thirteen Colonies ?! It's dangerous right now!" He exclaimed again, feeling completely nervous, he didn't want to be accused if you were found hurt. You and (B/F/N) shared a look in distress as you didn't know what to do. Why was it so dangerous? When you were with Thirteen Colonies and British Empire there was nothing wrong happening! you looked back at the man as you tried to explain yourself.

-"Well, we were uhm..." As you were stuttering, out of nowhere, a sword was suddenly smashed into the man's head. Your eyes widened and an horrified scream got out of yours and (B/F/N)'s mouth as you stared at the disfigured man.

The sword went completely through his head and stayed there, the sight was horrific, as the middle of his face was stabbed, now looking like a terrifying puddle of blood and brown instead of a face, the sword still rested here.

The corpse stumbled for a few seconds before it completely fell down to the floor with a thud, making the blood flow out slowly. You couldn't get your eyes off this scene typical of a horror movie. But, the realisation down to you, that it was real, that a man really died in front of you in a gruesome way.

You and (B/F/N) were shaking while looking at the body. You couldn't calm down, your eyes were still open wide in shock, the mouth agape as you were constantly trying to not vomit from disgust. It was like time slowed since the man was stabbed, and as the corpse was still dripping and flowing out of blood, a foot suddenly stomped on the body's back harshly.

Your bodies jumped at the sudden gesture, and aside of the new shock, another wave of disgust went through the both of you since you could see the body releasing rivers of blood as it was pressed on like a sponge. Your ears also could distinguish the sounds of the bones cracking, and the flesh being moved around as the new person so abruptly stepped onto the corpse.

Your eyes went up the figure slowly as your brain was still fuzzy from the shock, and as you looked up in fear, as this person just killed that man and stepped on him so emotionlessy, your eyes widened more and your brain tried to clear up as you recognised the new individual...

-"Thirteen..."
