this is my first attempt at an Assassin's Creed Fanfic, so i'm sorry in advance if it isn't that good. but i hope you all enjoy it. It does contain two original characters and everyone else belongs to Ubisoft along with the series.
The Assassins Thief
BY: hylianangel300
A hawk screeched as it flew over the rooftops of Venice, where the infamous assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze sat on a roof top watching the streets below. He hoped he would see a thief steel something or watch a guard harass a women, so he would have something to chase down or kill. He did do a few jobs earlier today but, they were child's play to him. His targets were not as bright as he had hoped and made it easy which Ezio did not enjoy. He loved when target's provided a challenge for him. It gave him the chance to enhance and hone in his assassination techniques and skills. It also made the kill much more satisfying to him. He closed his eyes and smiled as he felt the slight breeze hit his face the smells of the city reminded him of his home back in his uncle's villa. He wondered how his sister and mother were doing it's been at least 10 years since he last saw them. He thought of his father and his brothers and wondered what they would be doing if they were still alive. He took a moment of silence for his fallen family members. His thoughts were quickly interrupted when he heard guards yelling. "Stop thief!" Ezio stood up and looked over the edge. He noticed a young girl no more than 30 years of age running through the streets knocking people out of the way in the process, Ezio took notice of this girls movements how fluid and swift they were. He was even more intrigued when the girl scaled atop of an arch way and jumped over it and landed perfectly. Ezio decided to follow her closely. He stalked her from the roof tops watching how she dodged the guards but he took notice that she made a mistake. When She scaled a roof and without looking before she jumped she landed right where the guards were which got her cornered. "We have you now thief." Ezio stood and watched and wondered what she would do. She looked up and noticed a pulley holding crates up. A brilliant idea hit her. She took her throwing knife and threw it at the rope. the crates fell instantly stunning the guards and she grabbed the rope that hoisted her up over on to a roof top. Ezio was impressed and took note what to do if he was in a situation like that. The guards decide to give up and walked away. Ezio walked along the roof tops looking for the girl. He searched for hours and hours and into the dead of night and couldn't find her. He decided to give up and pay Leonardo a visit. He walked along the streets thinking about that girl, as hard as he tried he couldn't get her off his mind. He arrived at Leonardo's place he knocked on the door. When he didn't answer he kept knocking on the door, until the door opened.
"Mio dio, Ezio, do you know what time it is?"
"sorry, I was in the area and decided to pay a little visit."
"You could have chosen a better time you know."
"Sorry here I have a gift for you."
"What would that be?" Ezio reached in his pouch and pulled out a scroll. "You found another one, let me see it!"
"Not so fast, how bout we do a little trade off. The page can be yours if you let me rest here for the night. I don't feel like sleeping on the roof tops again, and he guards will be more aware tonight."
"What did you do this time?"'
"Why I did nothing, I did pull off a few petty assassinations without being seen though." Ezio said walking into Leo's house and taking a seat.
"If you get too cocky then you are going slip up and get caught, your infamous Ezio. All the guards know who you are." Leo said shutting the door behind him.
"Hey if they pay me and it's for a good cause, why not? Besides the guards are on wary of a girl who apparently has been quite a devious thief around these parts for a few weeks, a very skilled one matter of fact."
"Why do you say that?"
"I saw her today while I was sitting on the roof tops. I saw her dodge the people and the guards in a manner much like I do. I decided to follow her; she can scale walls with ease which impressed me. I saw her pull of a brilliant maneuver when she was cornered. Something I would have never thought of. She threw a throwing knife and it cut the rope in a pulley that was right above her. Then she grabbed the rope and it hoisted her up over the wall. I was trying to find he and couldn't so I decided to come here. "
"Interesting." Leo gave a slight laugh. " Sounds like you would like to take a fancy at this girl Ezio?"
Ezio smiled and gave a slight chuckle. "No I don't know the damn girl, nor really have seen her."
"It hasn't stopped you before."
"That is true, so I have decided to find her."
"You're going to go on a wild goose chase over some thief, and not focus on the important matters you know like hunting down the remaining Templars? What… " Leo knew to shut up when he saw Ezio glare at him.
"Sorry"
" Il suo bene" Ezio waved
"so what is your plan?"
" Well I guess I will just watch from the roof tops and if by luck I find her I will follow, like I would do with any target. " leo just sighed
"Once you made up your mind there is no stopping you is there?"
"You know me to well Leonardo."
"That I do sadly. Now show me that Codex page you found."
" va bene, catch." Leo caught it and took it over to work bench, she studied it. Ezio walked around his friend's shop. Looking at his friend's elaborate works of art, he noticed in the back was his friend's flying machine still in pieces from Ezio's escapade of flying over the roof tops of venezia. Ezio thoughts drifted back to the girl he saw earlier, he couldn't get her off of his mind. Ezio's thoughts were interrupted by Leo's voice.
"Well I decoded it, all it is are a few assassination techniques, here I wrote them down for you, you can practice them at your own leisure , now you must be tired, why don't you lay down on the couch and rest.
"I think I will do that." Ezio laid down on the couch and stared at the ceiling until his eyes closed and he drifted off into a nightmare filled sleep.
