Saleha- Fireworks

Remember remember the fifth of November

In 1605 and my friends and I had a plan. We wanted to blow up Britain’s House of Parliament and  kill the King, maybe even the Prince of Wales, and the Members of Parliament who were making life difficult for us Catholics. My name is Guy Fawkes and I am the leader as my mates would call me.

“ Where do I take these 36 barrels of gunpowder?” yelled Thomas.

“Store them in a cellar just under the House of Lords”, I replied. But as we worked on the plot, it became clear that innocent people would be hurt or killed in the attack but I still wanted to continue with my plan. Some of the plotters started having second thoughts. Henry even sent an anonymous letter warning his friend, Lord Monteagle, to stay away from the Parliament on November 5th. I was furious. I wanted to kick him out but if I did then he would unveil  my plan. I knew that I couldn't afford that so I decided to let it slip by.

On the 5th of November when we were just about to start my mission I saw a noise coming down from the alleyway. My heart started to beat faster than ever before. I knew I was going to breathe my last soon but then I had an idea that would change my situation.  

“Hey Thomas I would give your family one million dimes if you take my place”, I suggested.

“I know you are going to cheat on me boss.” Thomas argued. I persuaded  him at last and I went running out off the alley. I was free but I felt so sad because I knew that my friends had no idea what was going to happen to them.

Two weeks later I heard that the judge sentenced Guy Fawkes to the most horrendous form of execution available.He was sentenced to be hanged and quartered. My heart shattered into a million pieces. I could never forgive myself. People will never know that there were actually thirteen people who were part of the plan.
