Sun was higher in the sky and it felt like something would fry. A girl laid on the island almost lifeless on the beach her clothes in ripped up from the ocean and boards from a ship laid on her leg. Her hair though a mess was this perfect blond with curls. In the distance a pirate ship was coming in to shore. Typically pirates don't really take people or rescue them, but the captain laid his eyes on her, it was as if the heavens gave him a gift. He picked her up as his crew grabbed the missing things and brought the girl back to the ship. He kept her in the captain's quarters keeping her away from the rest. He was mysterious himself. The pirate captain looked as the girl stirred and rose up, her eyes were the lightest blue color and she was an angel.
"Who are you?" He spoke to her as he grabbed a plate of food and handed to it her. The girl was scared unsure about what this man was going to do to her. In her mind she felt safe around him but then there was that chance. "B-b-bellatrix." She stuttered as she looked at him. Instantly Bellatrix knew where she was, it was a Pirate ship.
"Bellatrix, I am Edward. I found you on that beach where are you from and what happened?" He asked her. She shook her head as she couldn't remember much of what happened. "I don't know. I wish I could tell you more." The girl spoke softly and felt all around confused at what was happening. "Here eat this." Edward said handing her the plate of food. The female began to eat, it was as if she hadn't ate in a while. The food wasn't the best she had tasted but it was food and it had felt like she hadn't ate in ages. A knock outside the door caused the man to walk out of the room. Bellatrix stood up looking at the maps and things were on the table. One thing stood out the most and that was a symbol on an island. A brief memory struck her and she fell to the ground. The memory was painful but a lot of it was her killing someone. That's when her head started to hurt; she started to hold her head trying to get the pain to stop. It was the point where Bellatrix stood up that Edward and another man walked into the room. He looked at her then at the map.
"Who she's Kenway?" The man spoke. He was probably as slender as Bellatrix with a few braids in his hair but he seemed more of a female than anything. Edward walked towards her and she instantly started to back away. "Stay away from my stuff." He said to her a little harsh, but the girl nodded yes. He then turned to the other man. "She was stranded on an island we were raiding, as soon as we get back to a port she's gone." He spoke to him.
"I am Bellatrix for the record." She spoke softly. "And your map brought back something by the way, Mr. Kenway." She added after a few seconds. The other man seemed a little shocked about who she was. "Captain Kid is my name and it's a pleasure to meet you Miss Bellatrix." He spoke with such ease. It was a curious point that he may have known her. "Kenway, I need a word with you outside." He spoke and motioned for him to go out the door. They got out of the door and slammed it shut.
"What now Kid?" Edward spoke as he waited for Kid to speak. "Bellatrix is an assassin who went rogue a year ago. She is highly trained and she became an assassin hunter for hire. In other words she could kill you as well as your crew." He spoke lowly just to make sure no one hears him. "She has no memory, how can she kill me if she doesn't remember… Besides this might be a good thing." He spoke with a little chuckle. "I'll take her to the Island at least then we can decide if she is a threat." He added walking back in the room. To his surprise the blond girl was looking at his swords and stuff.
"Sorry they looked so interesting." Bellatrix said stepping away from the swords and moving back to the bed. It was the memories she was gaining from the captain's quarters of the ship. "Did they bring back a memory of how you ended up on that island?" Edward asked her trying to get all the information that was possible. The girl shook her head as she didn't want to be the one who told him she remember that very night. "I remember a man standing in front of me…. He pushed me off the boat after that my memory goes. I wish I could tell you more." She lied to him, well half lied. It was true she had been pushed off but she was still trying to figure out who she killed and why. "Why don't you sleep here for the night, I'll retrieve you some clothes you can change into." He spoke again going to a chest and pulling out a pair of pants and a white shirt. He handed them to her before leaving. "Who am I… why can't I remember….and who was that man I killed." She spoke slipping out of her torn clothes and into the ones Edward had given her. She tied the shirt a bit tighter revealing her body a bit more.
Explosions could be heard and the ship shook, that was a familiar memory. She quickly grabbed the sword off the wall and ran out the door. Bellatrix stopped seeing a bunch of British military trying to board the ship. She ran over slashing the ropes from the side. One man recognized her, and it was startling. "Lady Bellatrix! You're alive! Come over and report to the master." He shouted. She shook her head in astonishment that he knew her. It was starting to come back to her, she knew she betrayed two groups but she couldn't remember what was going on with her. She kept going and fought back hard with every rope thrown on board. Edward watched her as the ship turned away, he knew if they had stayed the ship would be wrecked. One last cannon was shot hitting directly the British ship. Her blond hair flowed in the wind and that moment, the Captain felt something connected between him and her. It was as if he was staring in a mirror or something. "Bellatrix, you shouldn't have helped us, we don't need the help." Edward spoke and she shook her head.
"It doesn't matter if you needed help or not I just saved your ship from being taken over by the British Navy." She spoke with a little attitude to her voice. It was a given she knew what was happening around him. "Look I am not going to take your ship or cause a problem, the Brits wants me for a reason I am not sure of…. I'll help you as much as I can until you take me wherever you feel like." She spoke with a little bit more pleasant voice. Bellatrix smiled at him, either this was going to be a start of an interesting relationship or one of them was going to die. "Fine, just stay out of the way and we won't have an issue." Edward spoke walking away from her. A little laugh escaped her mouth as she walked over to the side of the boat. The open sea air hit her like it was a memory of the past was coming alive. She remembered being on a boat as a crew or a captain, but she worked hard. It was then a memory came back of a bad storm that she was in and the ship crashed into some rocks. Bellatrix shook her head trying to get that memory out of her head.
"You remember somethings don't ye?" A voice of the one they called Kid rang through her ears. "Some…. I remember few things, I remember killing someone, then a shipwreck, but the one thing that I start to remember is the fact of betrayal of two groups." She said grabbing her head a little. "I really wish that I didn't have those memories all at once." Bellatrix added.
"I know what happened… and I know who you are too." Kid spoke and caught the attention of Bellatrix as she looked back at him. If this man knew who she was then it was possible for her to remember. Or so she had thought. "Really, who am I…. please tell me and shed some light on my situation." She spoke almost begging him about it. The man shook his head no because he didn't want the monster who she was to come out again. "Maybe some other time, or you'll discover it for yourself." He spoke harshly to her.
"If you know then why would you not tell me, I feel as if it is your duty to tell something that will help them?" She questioned his motive. Kid walked away from her and she was left there in astonishment that something like that just happened. Bellatrix sighed a little and watched the ocean waves as they hit the boat. When she least expected it, a hand was on her shoulder and she instantly out of reaction grabbed it and brought it behind the person's back without realizing it was Edward. "Relax, lass it's just me." He spoke as she released his arm. "Sorry." She muttered realizing she may be a danger to the boat and to him. Her instincts were to kill and she couldn't figure out why she was like that. "It's ok, and as far as Kid and you go he has his reasons why. It's probably best you figure them out yourself." He spoke so kindly to her. "I wanted to tell you we are almost to our destination. It'll be a few hours." Edward spoke again.
"Alright…. Any chance you have a change of clothes that aren't going to be huge on me?" She said with a laugh as she was sort of drowning in them. "I don't think I have any dresses or such thinks for a woman like yourself. I hope that is fine." He spoke and she shrugged. "I don't feel as though I would be the woman for such clothing anyways. So I guess it doesn't matter as long as they fit." She said with a smile on her face. It was like she was falling for him without really knowing who he was. A part of her felt like she knew him more than just the man who saved her. Much like this Kid she felt as if they had bonded together.
It was getting dark as the ship entered in the docking area, this place secluded but still seemed to thrive as people were hitting up the pub and laughter could be heard. That's when they docked and Edward motioned for her to come with him. The men seemed to be stocking up on supplies, and getting a little rest. Bellatrix smiled as she walked with him, knowing this place was familiar in a way she couldn't remember. There it stood a huge house in front of her, and the memory hit of who she was.
"Miss Callaghan, it is time for you to take down the assassins by yourself. You've trained a long time for this. I have faith you'll succeed, and when you do we will have a celebration for you." A man spoke, who is he? This had to been when I was seventeen…. Wait… who are the assassins and why am I killing them…
"Of course master, they will die within the month." I spoke…. This is annoying.
Her thoughts raced as she remembered this place was where she had met once. It had been an old memory, but she couldn't figure out why she had been there before. It wasn't the same as she had seen it in the memories but somethings remained the same. Edward looked over at her as they walked into the house together. He could tell there was something wrong with her but he knew not to push it with a woman like her. Her blue eyes scanned every piece of wall furniture and various things to make her figure out why she was her to begin with. "You captured this place?" Bellatrix asked him as they walked up to the bedroom. "Yes it's been a while since I have turned this place over. I am rarely here." He spoke to her as he was trying not to press why she knew it was captured. Edward figured out there was something more to her than what she had said before. He opened the closet and pair of clothes were hung, the top was fitted for a woman, and had a hood on it, the bottoms were her size. She gazed at them knowing they were hers. "It was here when I found this place… they may fit you." He added after a few minutes of silence between them. Her hands touched the fabric and a new memory popped up in her mind.
"This are a gift to you for completing your assassin training, you are now a master assassin and one at such a young age. Bellatrix you have an oath to take tonight but put these on." A man spoke. Why me? What am I, some sort of killer? "Yes mentor, I will wear them with pride." I said. "Are you sure you want to go through with this, you are only 15 years old…." The mentor said again. I smiled and sure enough accept what I am. "Bellatrix-Bella-trix, snap out of it." Edward said sounding like it was a dream. She smiled a little and quickly shook out of the memory. "Another memory? Seems you've had a lot since arriving, care to share who I maybe dealing with?" He spoke as she took down the clothing.
"I don't want to sound alarming or anything since, you probably think I am some angel…. The first memory was me in this very house with a man…. And I was told to kill a group called the assassins, then these clothing brought back a memory that I was an assassin…. It's all too confusing." She said. Edward did something unexpected and out of character, he wrapped his arms around her embracing her in a hug. "Don't worry…. I want you to be a part of my crew at least until you remember something more." He spoke. His idea was to keep an eye on her just to make sure she wasn't going to turn on him as well. He left the room for her to get dressed. She quickly put on the pants and then the under shirt and her coat. She stood in front of a floor length mirror and quickly tied back her hair. The jacket was black with a dark red color on the sides. The hood had embroidered a symbol of the assassins but along the sides a Mayan symbol of the jaguar. The hood was all black and red on the inside. There were two things remaining in the closet, her hidden swords and her guns. Bellatrix put the hidden blades on and trying them out, then she strapped her guns to her side. She tried to smile a bit but she couldn't be sure if that was what she wanted. A knock could be heard at the door and she turned around figuring it was Edward again. She opened the door seeing Kid standing there.
"I see you found your clothes Bellatrix. Edward explained you had more memories come back to you. I am interested to know if it gives a reason why you betrayed your mentor, and the brotherhood." He questioned her. The young girl shrugged about it. "To be honest I just know what I remembered…. For all we know it could be a long time before I ever understand who I am. So tell me Mr. Kid who am I and what happened to me?" She asked seeing Edward standing behind him. Kid sighed knowing he needed to tell her. "You were an assassin a good one. The Templars wanted you for your skills and they recruited you… You're wanted by the assassins after killing several assassins. A few months ago you went rogue completely from the Templars and Assassins, that's when your boat was ship wrecked. We thought you were dead honestly. When Kenway found you, I knew who you were and I have to make sure you don't betray me again." He spoke pulling out his sword and lunging towards her. Bellatrix moved back used her hidden blades against him. "How could you kill me if you don't know what was going on… I don't even remember half the stuff that happened." She exclaimed fighting him off. She kicked him hard grabbing the nearest object and hitting him over the head. That didn't do much as he pushed her against the wall.
"You're the reason why the assassins have lost a lot of lives. You'll pay for this!" He shouted and well Bellatrix kneed him in the stomach and pushed him to the floor. Her moves were quick and fast as she grabbed some sheets and tied his arms together. "If I had any memory of the acts I supposedly conducted then I wouldn't fight you on your vengeance. However, my memories show that I was not this Templar but rather I was under the direction of the Assassins… That's what my memory shows. Plus how do ye know that the people I killed were not Templars." She spoke pushing down on him. "I am not a puppet, that's what you seem to think I was!" She yelled. Right then Edward stepped in grabbing her off Kid and pushed her against the wall. His body against hers as he stared into her eyes he was mad. "Bellatrix calm down! Kid is just doing his job to keep his friends safe. You are a threat to all of us, you've proven that on the ship. Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you now?" He asked her holding his own hidden blade up to her throat. "Give me a chance to prove myself, I am not the woman who he has claimed I am but rather on your side. Edward… you wouldn't be the one to pass judgement on someone so quickly." She spoke soft and kind to him. He moved back releasing her from his hold catching her instantly as she fell forward into his arms. She stood up looking at Kid on the ground and a little sigh released from her lips and untied him. "What say you, I stay under Edwards command to prove I am not who you think I am." She spoke holding her hand out to help him up.
"Fine… I'll trust you Kenway making sure she is who she claims to be…. I'll head back to the Island and let the mentor know she is alive and the plan…" He said standing up and walking out of the room. Edward looked at her standing there, it was something he couldn't figure out. She was a mystery, and it seemed her mystery was becoming greater as she unraveled her own past. Edward walked towards her wrapping his arms around her waist bringing her in to where their bodies were touching. Bellatrix's face blushed as her breath was caught in her throat. He leaned into her close to her face, then taking her holsters off and moving away. "Sorry lass but I don't trust you with these, you'll get them back when you can prove you're not going to kill me." He spoke with a smirk on his face. Bellatrix was in dismay that this man had actually done that to her. The guns were well her everything, thus saying she was good with swords, she had a better aim with the gun. "Alright…. Then how am I to help you and fight if I have no guns to shoot? Or did you think that one through?" She asked him wondering what his plan was. "Here." He said handing her two small daggers that would fit in the boot. "These aren't going to help much." She spoke putting them in her boot.
"From how I understand you're the master assassin, you should be able to get by just fine with those." Edward chuckled. A little sigh escaped the mouth of the woman. "Alright, so where shall we go Captain Kenway?" She asked him wondering what he had in store for her.
"Aye for right now lass you and I have a date with the crew and some drinks…you'll officially meet my quarter master… the one you'll answer to as far as being a part of the crew." He spoke to her as he started to head out the door expecting her to follow him. Bellatrix followed him down the path back into the town, it wasn't going to be a long break before they were heading out again. The place where they were going to have drink was a bit busy with pirates coming and going. One person stood out above them all, a woman with black hair and these blue eyes that were light but piercing at the same time. She was dressed much like Bellatrix, almost the exact same outfit, only where Bellatrix's reds were, this woman had blue.
"'Ey Kenway what's with the pretty girl? Are you finally settlin' down?" A man asked as the woman stared at both of them.
"Aye you wish this is my second mate Bellatrix, we rescued her off an island." He spoke pushing her forward. "Well lass let me get ye a drink… 'ey Aquarius get this lass some rum!" The man who spoke before was motioning for the black hair woman to do it.
"Aye…" She spoke in this beautiful Irish voice. Aquarius was an assassin, a master one at the age of nineteen, as she had been one since she was a child. She trained and thrived as one, and she was a triplet, a sister who went missing, and a brother who worked as a Templar. Her eyes kept on Bellatrix as she poured the rum into a glass. She walked from behind the counter and handed it to her.
"Thanks…" Bellatrix said taking it and sipping on it. "Yer not from around here are ye? Kenway doesn't bring woman on his ship ever… so what makes you special?" Aquarius questioned her carefully.
"No, I am not sure where I am from. Like he said he found me…. What makes me special is I have skills in fighting and I saved his ship." Bellatrix spoke, a little clash between the girls was noted by every man in the place. Actually they were waiting for them to break out in an actual fight…. The blond girl reached into her boot grabbing the two daggers she was given, and the black haired woman reached for her was higher in the sky and it felt like something would fry. A girl laid on the island almost lifeless on the beach her clothes in ripped up from the ocean and boards from a ship laid on her leg. Her hair though a mess was this perfect blond with curls. In the distance a pirate ship was coming in to shore. Typically pirates don't really take people or rescue them, but the captain laid his eyes on her, it was as if the heavens gave him a gift. He picked her up as his crew grabbed the missing things and brought the girl back to the ship. He kept her in the captain's quarters keeping her away from the rest. He was mysterious himself. The pirate captain looked as the girl stirred and rose up, her eyes were the lightest blue color and she was an angel.
"Who are you?" He spoke to her as he grabbed a plate of food and handed to it her. The girl was scared unsure about what this man was going to do to her. In her mind she felt safe around him but then there was that chance. "B-b-bellatrix." She stuttered as she looked at him. Instantly Bellatrix knew where she was, it was a Pirate ship.
"Bellatrix, I am Edward. I found you on that beach where are you from and what happened?" He asked her. She shook her head as she couldn't remember much of what happened. "I don't know. I wish I could tell you more." The girl spoke softly and felt all around confused at what was happening. "Here eat this." Edward said handing her the plate of food. The female began to eat, it was as if she hadn't ate in a while. The food wasn't the best she had tasted but it was food and it had felt like she hadn't ate in ages. A knock outside the door caused the man to walk out of the room. Bellatrix stood up looking at the maps and things were on the table. One thing stood out the most and that was a symbol on an island. A brief memory struck her and she fell to the ground. The memory was painful but a lot of it was her killing someone. That's when her head started to hurt; she started to hold her head trying to get the pain to stop. It was the point where Bellatrix stood up that Edward and another man walked into the room. He looked at her then at the map.
"Who she's Kenway?" The man spoke. He was probably as slender as Bellatrix with a few braids in his hair but he seemed more of a female than anything. Edward walked towards her and she instantly started to back away. "Stay away from my stuff." He said to her a little harsh, but the girl nodded yes. He then turned to the other man. "She was stranded on an island we were raiding, as soon as we get back to a port she's gone." He spoke to him.
"I am Bellatrix for the record." She spoke softly. "And your map brought back something by the way, Mr. Kenway." She added after a few seconds. The other man seemed a little shocked about who she was. "Captain Kid is my name and it's a pleasure to meet you Miss Bellatrix." He spoke with such ease. It was a curious point that he may have known her. "Kenway, I need a word with you outside." He spoke and motioned for him to go out the door. They got out of the door and slammed it shut.
"What now Kid?" Edward spoke as he waited for Kid to speak. "Bellatrix is an assassin who went rogue a year ago. She is highly trained and she became an assassin hunter for hire. In other words she could kill you as well as your crew." He spoke lowly just to make sure no one hears him. "She has no memory, how can she kill me if she doesn't remember… Besides this might be a good thing." He spoke with a little chuckle. "I'll take her to the Island at least then we can decide if she is a threat." He added walking back in the room. To his surprise the blond girl was looking at his swords and stuff.
"Sorry they looked so interesting." Bellatrix said stepping away from the swords and moving back to the bed. It was the memories she was gaining from the captain's quarters of the ship. "Did they bring back a memory of how you ended up on that island?" Edward asked her trying to get all the information that was possible. The girl shook her head as she didn't want to be the one who told him she remember that very night. "I remember a man standing in front of me…. He pushed me off the boat after that my memory goes. I wish I could tell you more." She lied to him, well half lied. It was true she had been pushed off but she was still trying to figure out who she killed and why. "Why don't you sleep here for the night, I'll retrieve you some clothes you can change into." He spoke again going to a chest and pulling out a pair of pants and a white shirt. He handed them to her before leaving. "Who am I… why can't I remember….and who was that man I killed." She spoke slipping out of her torn clothes and into the ones Edward had given her. She tied the shirt a bit tighter revealing her body a bit more.
Explosions could be heard and the ship shook, that was a familiar memory. She quickly grabbed the sword off the wall and ran out the door. Bellatrix stopped seeing a bunch of British military trying to board the ship. She ran over slashing the ropes from the side. One man recognized her, and it was startling. "Lady Bellatrix! You're alive! Come over and report to the master." He shouted. She shook her head in astonishment that he knew her. It was starting to come back to her, she knew she betrayed two groups but she couldn't remember what was going on with her. She kept going and fought back hard with every rope thrown on board. Edward watched her as the ship turned away, he knew if they had stayed the ship would be wrecked. One last cannon was shot hitting directly the British ship. Her blond hair flowed in the wind and that moment, the Captain felt something connected between him and her. It was as if he was staring in a mirror or something. "Bellatrix, you shouldn't have helped us, we don't need the help." Edward spoke and she shook her head.
"It doesn't matter if you needed help or not I just saved your ship from being taken over by the British Navy." She spoke with a little attitude to her voice. It was a given she knew what was happening around him. "Look I am not going to take your ship or cause a problem, the Brits wants me for a reason I am not sure of…. I'll help you as much as I can until you take me wherever you feel like." She spoke with a little bit more pleasant voice. Bellatrix smiled at him, either this was going to be a start of an interesting relationship or one of them was going to die. "Fine, just stay out of the way and we won't have an issue." Edward spoke walking away from her. A little laugh escaped her mouth as she walked over to the side of the boat. The open sea air hit her like it was a memory of the past was coming alive. She remembered being on a boat as a crew or a captain, but she worked hard. It was then a memory came back of a bad storm that she was in and the ship crashed into some rocks. Bellatrix shook her head trying to get that memory out of her head.
"You remember somethings don't ye?" A voice of the one they called Kid rang through her ears. "Some…. I remember few things, I remember killing someone, then a shipwreck, but the one thing that I start to remember is the fact of betrayal of two groups." She said grabbing her head a little. "I really wish that I didn't have those memories all at once." Bellatrix added.
"I know what happened… and I know who you are too." Kid spoke and caught the attention of Bellatrix as she looked back at him. If this man knew who she was then it was possible for her to remember. Or so she had thought. "Really, who am I…. please tell me and shed some light on my situation." She spoke almost begging him about it. The man shook his head no because he didn't want the monster who she was to come out again. "Maybe some other time, or you'll discover it for yourself." He spoke harshly to her.
"If you know then why would you not tell me, I feel as if it is your duty to tell something that will help them?" She questioned his motive. Kid walked away from her and she was left there in astonishment that something like that just happened. Bellatrix sighed a little and watched the ocean waves as they hit the boat. When she least expected it, a hand was on her shoulder and she instantly out of reaction grabbed it and brought it behind the person's back without realizing it was Edward. "Relax, lass it's just me." He spoke as she released his arm. "Sorry." She muttered realizing she may be a danger to the boat and to him. Her instincts were to kill and she couldn't figure out why she was like that. "It's ok, and as far as Kid and you go he has his reasons why. It's probably best you figure them out yourself." He spoke so kindly to her. "I wanted to tell you we are almost to our destination. It'll be a few hours." Edward spoke again.
"Alright…. Any chance you have a change of clothes that aren't going to be huge on me?" She said with a laugh as she was sort of drowning in them. "I don't think I have any dresses or such thinks for a woman like yourself. I hope that is fine." He spoke and she shrugged. "I don't feel as though I would be the woman for such clothing anyways. So I guess it doesn't matter as long as they fit." She said with a smile on her face. It was like she was falling for him without really knowing who he was. A part of her felt like she knew him more than just the man who saved her. Much like this Kid she felt as if they had bonded together.
It was getting dark as the ship entered in the docking area, this place secluded but still seemed to thrive as people were hitting up the pub and laughter could be heard. That's when they docked and Edward motioned for her to come with him. The men seemed to be stocking up on supplies, and getting a little rest. Bellatrix smiled as she walked with him, knowing this place was familiar in a way she couldn't remember. There it stood a huge house in front of her, and the memory hit of who she was.
"Miss Callaghan, it is time for you to take down the assassins by yourself. You've trained a long time for this. I have faith you'll succeed, and when you do we will have a celebration for you." A man spoke, who is he? This had to been when I was seventeen…. Wait… who are the assassins and why am I killing them…
"Of course master, they will die within the month." I spoke…. This is annoying.
Her thoughts raced as she remembered this place was where she had met once. It had been an old memory, but she couldn't figure out why she had been there before. It wasn't the same as she had seen it in the memories but somethings remained the same. Edward looked over at her as they walked into the house together. He could tell there was something wrong with her but he knew not to push it with a woman like her. Her blue eyes scanned every piece of wall furniture and various things to make her figure out why she was her to begin with. "You captured this place?"

He spoke to her as he was trying not to press why she knew it was captured. Edward figured out there was something more to her than what she had said before. He opened the closet and pair of clothes were hung, the top was fitted for a woman, and had a hood on it, the bottoms were her size. She gazed at them knowing they were hers. "It was here when I found this place… they may fit you." He added after a few minutes of silence between them. Her hands touched the fabric and a new memory popped up in her mind.
"This are a gift to you for completing your assassin training, you are now a master assassin and one at such a young age. Bellatrix you have an oath to take tonight but put these on." A man spoke. Why me? What am I, some sort of killer? "Yes mentor, I will wear them with pride." I said. "Are you sure you want to go through with this, you are only 15 years old…." The mentor said again. I smiled and sure enough accept what I am. "Bellatrix-Bella-trix, snap out of it." Edward said sounding like it was a dream. She smiled a little and quickly shook out of the memory. "Another memory?

The jacket was black with a dark red color on the sides. The hood had embroidered a symbol of the assassins but along the sides a Mayan symbol of the jaguar. The hood was all black and red on the inside. There were two things remaining in the closet, her hidden swords and her guns. Bellatrix put the hidden blades on and trying them out, then she strapped her guns to her side. She tried to smile a bit but she couldn't be sure if that was what she wanted. A knock could be heard at the door and she turned around figuring it was Edward again. She opened the door seeing Kid standing there.
"I see you found your clothes Bellatrix. Edward explained you had more memories come back to you. I am interested to know if it gives a reason why you betrayed your mentor, and the brotherhood." He questioned her. The young girl shrugged about it. "To be honest I just know what I remembered…. For all we know it could be a long time before I ever understand who I am. So tell me Mr. Kid who am I and what happened to me?" She asked seeing Edward standing behind him. Kid sighed knowing he needed to tell her. "You were an assassin a good one. The Templars wanted you for your skills and they recruited you… You're wanted by the assassins after killing several assassins. A few months ago you went rogue completely from the Templars and Assassins, that's when your boat was ship wrecked. We thought you were dead honestly. When Kenway found you, I knew who you were and I have to make sure you don't betray me again." He spoke pulling out his sword and lunging towards her. Bellatrix moved back used her hidden blades against him. "How could you kill me if you don't know what was going on… I don't even remember half the stuff that happened." She exclaimed fighting him off. She kicked him hard grabbing the nearest object and hitting him over the head. That didn't do much as he pushed her against the wall.
"You're the reason why the assassins have lost a lot of lives. You'll pay for this!" He shouted and well Bellatrix kneed him in the stomach and pushed him to the floor. Her moves were quick and fast as she grabbed some sheets and tied his arms together. "If I had any memory of the acts I supposedly conducted then I wouldn't fight you on your vengeance. However, my memories show that I was not this Templar but rather I was under the direction of the Assassins… That's what my memory shows. Plus how do ye know that the people I killed were not Templars." She spoke pushing down on him. "I am not a puppet, that's what you seem to think I was!" She yelled. Right then Edward stepped in grabbing her off Kid and pushed her against the wall. His body against hers as he stared into her eyes he was mad. "Bellatrix calm down! Kid is just doing his job to keep his friends safe. You are a threat to all of us, you've proven that on the ship. Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you now?" He asked her holding his own hidden blade up to her throat. "Give me a chance to prove myself, I am not the woman who he has claimed I am but rather on your side. Edward… you wouldn't be the one to pass judgement on someone so quickly." She spoke soft and kind to him. He moved back releasing her from his hold catching her instantly as she fell forward into his arms. She stood up looking at Kid on the ground and a little sigh released from her lips and untied him. "What say you, I stay under Edwards command to prove I am not who you think I am." She spoke holding her hand out to help him up.
"Fine… I'll trust you Kenway making sure she is who she claims to be…. I'll head back to the Island and let the mentor know she is alive and the plan…" He said standing up and walking out of the room. Edward looked at her standing there, it was something he couldn't figure out. She was a mystery, and it seemed her mystery was becoming greater as she unraveled her own past. Edward walked towards her wrapping his arms around her waist bringing her in to where their bodies were touching. Bellatrix's face blushed as her breath was caught in her throat. He leaned into her close to her face, then taking her holsters off and moving away. "Sorry lass but I don't trust you with these, you'll get them back when you can prove you're not going to kill me." He spoke with a smirk on his face. Bellatrix was in dismay that this man had actually done that to her. The guns were well her everything, thus saying she was good with swords, she had a better aim with the gun. "Alright…. Then how am I to help you and fight if I have no guns to shoot? Or did you think that one through?" She asked him wondering what his plan was. "Here." He said handing her two small daggers that would fit in the boot. "These aren't going to help much." She spoke putting them in her boot.
"From how I understand you're the master assassin, you should be able to get by just fine with those." Edward chuckled. A little sigh escaped the mouth of the woman. "Alright, so where shall we go Captain Kenway?" She asked him wondering what he had in store for her.
"Aye for right now lass you and I have a date with the crew and some drinks…you'll officially meet my quarter master… the one you'll answer to as far as being a part of the crew." He spoke to her as he started to head out the door expecting her to follow him. Bellatrix followed him down the path back into the town, it wasn't going to be a long break before they were heading out again. The place where they were going to have drink was a bit busy with pirates coming and going. One person stood out above them all, a woman with black hair and these blue eyes that were light but piercing at the same time. She was dressed much like Bellatrix, almost the exact same outfit, only where Bellatrix's reds were, this woman had blue.
"'Ey Kenway what's with the pretty girl? Are you finally settlin' down?" A man asked as the woman stared at both of them.
"Aye you wish this is my second mate Bellatrix, we rescued her off an island." He spoke pushing her forward. "Well lass let me get ye a drink… 'ey Aquarius get this lass some rum!" The man who spoke before was motioning for the black hair woman to do it.
"Aye…" She spoke in this beautiful Irish voice. Aquarius was an assassin, a master one at the age of nineteen, as she had been one since she was a child. She trained and thrived as one, and she was a triplet, a sister who went missing, and a brother who worked as a Templar. Her eyes kept on Bellatrix as she poured the rum into a glass. She walked from behind the counter and handed it to her.
"Thanks…" Bellatrix said taking it and sipping on it. "Yer not from around here are ye? Kenway doesn't bring woman on his ship ever… so what makes you special?" Aquarius questioned her carefully.
"No, I am not sure where I am from. Like he said he found me…. What makes me special is I have skills in fighting and I saved his ship." Bellatrix spoke, a little clash between the girls was noted by every man in the place. Actually they were waiting for them to break out in an actual fight…. The blond girl reached into her boot grabbing the two daggers she was given, and the black haired woman reached for her sword.
