I was talking to Betsy that’s one of my friends. Betsy told me to keep a secret. The secret was about Sam. I soar on the bible that I would not tell anyone. She told me that she got a letter from Sam. She said that he was coming home soon. I was so excited I asked when he was coming but she said it didn't say. Then Betsy had to go. Weeks had gone past and there was no sign of Sam. I Looked at Betsy for some sign that he was here but she didn't. One day in church I asked her when he was coming. She told me to just shush about it. My father told me to go out and cut some wood so I did, as I was out there he was thinking to myself. Then I heard clatter of horses I listened and looked and saw 20 horsemen. I was confused because why would they be here and they were wearing blue uniforms so that meant they were rebels. I was kind of scared. So I followed them and they stopped at the tavern. They wanted Fathers gun. He said he did not have it because his other son stole it. They did not believe him. They cut his face, I got scared and ran. As I was running I saw Sam and stole the gun back. Sam woke up and saw me. He tackled me and I told him what happened to father and about the people that was there in the tavern. So as we were going up the tavern Sam saw Father standing there, Father saw him too. Sam turned and ran the other way.
