Sonette the Hedgehog wakes up with sunlight in her eyes and smiles as she rolls over. She has been living her family for two months now. She hasn't heard or seen anyone from the assassin creed and she doesn't care. Though she is surprise Teagan and Sandra hasn't showed up. During the two months, Sonette with the help of her father and brothers, have been taking down the Babylon in their city. They have taken down at least 8 groups in the last month alone, but she knows there are more out there. She knows it. Though she has another problem, Sonic's and Amy's wedding. Sonette sighs as she gets up and rubs her neck. There is still a lot of work to do and little time to do it. When she wasn't hunting Babylon down, she was training Lucy and Sonia, who both are amazing fighters and fast learners. Sonette sighs as she gets up and dress, now wearing a white long bell sleeved blouse, a black vest, black breeches, a brown leather belt with two swords strap to either hip, a pistol in a holder behind her back and throwing blades across her chest, black high heel boots with a small hidden blade in her left boot, a brown leather shoulder bag and white gloves. She then quickly pulls up her hair into a ponytail, she didn't normally needed to do that because her hood use to hide her hair, but now she has to. Sonette then heads out for breakfast, today or tomorrow Amy will be here and she wants to be make sure it will be safe for her. She walks into the dining hall to see Jules the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog, Manic the Hedgehog and Lucy Hedgehog already there. She must have overslept again, she has been having long days.
"Morning sweetheart." Jules greets as Sonette sits down next to Lucy.
"Morning." Sonette whispers.
"How are you feeling?" Jules asks.
"I'm fine." Sonette replies.
"That's good." Manic said and Sonette smiles. After breakfast, Sonette heads to her room with Lucy. They walk onto the balcony and Lucy smiles.
"I like it here." Lucy said and Sonette smiles.
"I'm glad you do, we have been really busy over the two months." Sonette said.
"We have saved so many people though and taken care of so many Babylon. We are doing better without the assassins." Lucy explains and Sonette place her hand on Lucy's shoulder.
"We have." Sonette whispers. "We have a big couple of days ahead with the wedding coming so quickly then I like. Amy will be here either today or tomorrow so we have to make sure everything is clear." Sonette tells her.
"I understand Sonette." Lucy said.
"I know Lucy, you are a smart kid and I trust you." Sonette tells her and Lucy grabs Sonette's hand. Sonette smiles as they head off. Sonette heads out into the city while Lucy kept close to the others. Sonette sighs, people always stare at her as she goes by, but she doesn't care. She's use to it now. Sonette sighs as stops and looks up to see Madeleine Hedgehog. Sonette sighs as she kept going, she was hoping Madeleine wasn't after her. Though she was curious. Sonette heads down an alley and Madeleine lands in front of her. "What do you want Madeleine?" Sonette asks.
"We need to talk." Madeleine tells her.
"Ok, talk." Sonette said.
"Not here, follow me." Madeleine tells her as she walks off and Sonette sighs as she follows her. She isn't sure why, but she had a feeling. She follows Madeleine into a building to see other assassins and sighs. Sonette was then pushed forwards and sighs. "You've been busy." Madeleine said.
"And?" Sonette asks.
"And we want the information you have gathered." Madeleine tells her.
"I don't have anything." Sonette tells her and Madeleine sighs. "Besides, you have no power over me. I was discharged, you are breaking the law by having me here." Sonette explains.
"Maybe, but it is bigger than you think." Madeleine tells her. "12 assassins have gone missing in the last month and we don't know why." Madeleine tells her.
"Like in Delos?" Sonette asks.
"Yes, we know they are dead." Madeleine whispers and Sonette sighs.
"And what do you want me to do? Last time I checked, I was the bad guy here." Sonette asks and Madeleine sighs.
"You are the only one I trust and we need a place to hide. These are only young assassins. They can help you." Madeleine tells her.
"I have a wedding coming up." Sonette said.
"They can help, they can help set up and organise and protect your family and the guest." Madeleine tells her. Sonette looks at them and sighs, some only looked around 8 years old.
"My father is going to kill me." Sonette said walking to the door. "Do they have their gear?" Sonette asks.
"Yes." Madeleine replies.
"Good, let's move." Sonette tells them and they head off. Sonette sighs as they came to her home and went to her father's study to see him with Sonic. Sonette sighs as she walks over as Jules looks at her worry.
"What's going on?" Jules asks.
"They need a place to stay. The Babylon has killed 12 assassin in the last month. I may have been discharged, but they are kids and they are still my brothers and sisters." Sonette explains. A young fox cub ran to Sonette, grabbing her leg and Sonette looks down, then picks the cub up. She has amethyst fur with white fur on her muzzle and tip of her tail, short amethyst hair that just touches her shoulders and has deep sky blue eyes. Jules looks at the fox cub who buries her face in Sonette. Jules sighs.
"Sonic, tell our servants we need rooms made for our guest." Jules tells Sonic who looks at them.
"How many?" Sonic asks.
"20." the fox cub replies and Sonic nods as he heads off. The fox looks up at Sonette and Sonette smiles.
"What's your name sweetie?" Sonette asks.
"Kirra." Kirra replies.
"Kirra, pretty name." Sonette said as she sits the cub down. Kirra runs back and Sonette looks at her father.
"A word." Jules said and Sonette nods as she walks to the window with him. "If anything happens to the wedding, you know this will fall on you." Jules tells her softly.
"I do, they are being hunted. What was I supposed to do? Say no and leave them out there to die." Sonette whispers and Jules sighs. "I remember when I was young and being hunted, a couple of years after I left home." Sonette explains.
"They will be safe here as long as they listen to you and you make sure they stay out of trouble." Jules tells her.
"I get it father." Sonette said and Jules heads off. Sonette sighs as she rest her forehead on the window. This was going to be hard. Sonette looks down to see Kirra who looks at her worry.
"Are you ok?" Kirra asks.
"I'll be fine." Sonette replies as she looks back. 'I hope.' Sonette thought. 20 young assassins and she has no idea what to do. Then Lucy walks through and Kirra smiles.
"Lucy!" Kirra shouts.
"What's going on?" Lucy asks.
"12 assassins were killed in the last month." Sonette replies.
"And before that, 14 were killed." Kirra adds.
"So all up, 26 assassins have been killed in two months." Lucy said shock and Sonette nods.
"They are staying here, I don't know what level of training they are on or anything." Sonette said.
"I'll find out." Lucy said and Sonette looks at Kirra who grabs Sonette's hand. Sonette smiles, maybe this won't be as bad as she thought it would be.
