Just The Beginning

I rush outdoors as I hear a letter has returned...

The man stops

Gets off his horse

"Mrs Gray I'm sorry to inform you that your husband was killed in battle"

I stood silent

This means, The King shall no Longer be King

My husband is dead

"Mrs Gray?"

'What shall happen to my boys'

"Thank you for informing me, I should hurry back"

'Dead'

'He's dead'

He can't be, we are now traitors....

I have to stay strong

For my boys

"What happened, is there news on John?" Asked my mother

"He's Dead"

"Dead?"

Shocked Jacquetta asked

"What will happen to Thomas and Richard"

"I do not know mother"

"I must tell your father, we must prepare"

"Prepare for what mother"

"Elizabeth we are now traitors to the new king, we shall only hope for the best"

Elizabeth opened her mouth

Only to not speak at all, 'We shall hope for the best'
