Sybil

I was putting the little ones to bed then… my father called me and said,” Sybil come here.” I said,” What is it father.” My father said,” The British are burning down
Danbury! Then I said,” Me and Star will go.” My heart was beating really fast. My father said to my mom,” Sybil knows were all of our men live.” Then my mother gave me her cape and swung it around me. I was kind of scared. My mother said,” Be careful.” Then it hit me I felt a knot of fear in my stomach. I swung on Star and my journey began. I thought what might happen on my journey then I saluted my father and took off. It was ten o’clock at night all the houses were pitch black. Than I saw to the east that there was an orange sky I knew right away that it was
Danbury burning. When I reached to the other town the people were already outside and the town bell rang. My throat hurt from calling out my message and my hurt was beating wildly. I would not stop going. I had to do it. But then star had slipped in the mud then he stepped right away. We kept waking up sleeping soldiers. Then we were near Red Mills then star was breathing very heavily. I said,” Star are you ok.” Suddenly I heard hoof beets on the path! I quickly pulled Star to a stop. I jumped into the bushes and pulled star into the bushes to. I held my breath. The hoof beats went away. My hands and knees fell to the ground. When I reached Stormville I heard the alarm go off. When I turned around to go home I was full of mud and tired. I started to fall in my fathers arms, and started to cry.F.I.N       If I had never stepped up and round up my fathers men. I would have never bin famous and greeted by George Washington and
Danbury would have burned down and we would probably never had won the Revolutionary War. THE END
