Thread: Forbidden Desires ( loneiysong & CrimsonMaster )

The attack came with great speed. Tyler his men fought many battles against the yankees in the early days of the war. They learned how to attack quickly and brutally. Tyler's force had split into two groups. The first group came from the east. The second group came from the west. All seemed normal when the grey riders came towards the great white plantation house. Suddenly though, these riders drew their weapons and began shooting. Slaves ran for their lives. Screams shouts, cries for mercy mixed with the infamous Rebel Yell which Tyler's men gave out. 8 slaves were killed in the opening moments of the fight. The rest were gathered up by Tyler's men and forced into the barn. The plan was to burn the barn with the slaves locked inside. the only slaves not in the barn were Malachi Emili. Malachi left Jamie Emili to defend them. He was however met by Major Tyler who shot the brave man in the head. Tyler then ordered his men to string the nigger up! Others grabbed Emili and the limp Jamie. They were pulled in front of Major Tyler. Sadly for Tyler, Jamie was out. He told his men to rape the nigger girl. They could have fun with her until Jamie woke up. A group of men descended upon Emili like locusts on a field of wheat. Tyler remained on his horse looking down and smiling like the devil himself. Some of Tyler's men lit torches and set fire to hay stacks. These men were getting ready to burn everything down. Just down the road, to the west. Two Union soldiers slowly brought their horses to a halt. The smoke rising up from the plantation just ahead made them take pause. Throught their field glasses, these two soldiers could see what looked like Confederate soldiers attacking the plantation. This made no sense at all. Why would Confederate soldiers attack their own people? The men just didn't understand. They turned their horses and rode to meet Colonel Harper. Thomas had sent these men ahead to scout the area. They reported what was going on up ahead. Thomas already knew about Major Tyler and his men. His name appeared in countless reports Thomas had read in the last few weeks. Tyler's actions against the southern people even made the local papers. He had become more hated by the locals then the yankees themselves. C Company, lead by Thomas rode up to the spot where his man had been before. Thomas looked through his field glasses at the sight before him. He ordered Sergeant Major Quincannon to take half of the men and go through the fields towards the plantation. Thomas would lead the others straight down the road. Quincannon took 25 troopers down from the road and into the fields. They then turned and charged for the plantation. Thomas pulled his pistol from his belt, wheeled Shadow around in a full circle before yelling CHARGE! The bugler raised his bugle and blew out Charge The Union soldiers rode hard and fast towards their enemy. The sound of the oncoming horses made Tyler's men stop what they were doing. YANKEES!!! YANKEES! One of Tyler's men shouted out while pointing down the road. Soon Quincannon's group was spotted coming through the fields. Tyler wheeled his horse around looking for a way out. His men had already started firing at the Union troops, but Tyler's men were out numbered. The second force under Quincannon left the field and attacked Tyler's men who had taken cover. They were facing Thomas's men and were exposed from a rear attack. More then half of Tyler's men were killed before the rest along with Tyler escaped to the south. Thomas rode up and jumped down from Shadow. He ordered some men to go after Major Tyler. Thomas then ordered his men to open the barn and let those inside out. Emili had made her way over to Jamie. She looked up as the tall handsome Union Colonel knelt down and covered Jamie's body with a blanket. Emili was also given one to cover herself.
