Hi! This is my first fanfic, so plz no flaming. Um… I think that's all I really have to say. I wasn't quite sure what to base this off of, but since Assassin's Creed is SUCH a badass game, I wanted to do this. So… yeah, that's about it. R&R!
Staring up at the twinkling star in the beautiful city of Firenze, I lay on the roof of my father's house, feeling as though my life was as far away as those stars. My name is Adelina- but please, call me Alba. Adelina means noble, and my family was most certainly of the noble type. We weren't really that rich, but we were famous for being snobs. At least, my parents were.
My mom was actually beautiful. Long, flowing brown hair, twinkling eyes, a perfect body. But she used that for bad things, and her temper is as short as the thread is between me and her- which is, believe me, short. My father is a banker. However, when no one was looking, he would steal a little bit of the money he was supposed to put in the deposit. I was the only one who actually knew of these things, of course, and I only know these by following them late at night. You could say that I'm a master of stealth. It just comes naturally to me.
Me, I had inherited my mother's hair, eyes, but not her body. I was petite, thin as a stick, and not, in views of my chest, satisfactory in size. That didn't seem to stop men from courting me, however, and soon I was walking down the street with a hood and a scarf to cover my identity. I wasn't very interested in men. All of my "friends" giggled and flirted whenever they came by, but I typically just ignored them.
The sound of church clock ringing eight times, accompanied by the sounds of people moving about, woke me up. Wincing slightly, I stretched and gasped. It's already eight o'clock? I was SO screwed. My parents always had things on schedule, and when I messed it up by a second… let's just say they didn't like that.
Climbing down as fast as I could and running into the house, I heard my mom yelling. "Where on earth is that child? Adelina! Where have you been? We're off schedule by two hours! Two hours! And where have you been? You're so dirty! Go upstairs and take a bath. We're going to the theater!"
Not even acknowledging my mother I raced upstairs, practically ripped off my clothes, and jumped in the tub. The only reason why I actually listen to my mother is because I really don't have any choice in the matter. So it's better to do as she says and get revenge later. After scrubbing myself down, I walked in front of my huge wardrobe and wondered what I should wear. The original schedule for today was that I was supposed to go to the theater as well, but now that I was late, I decided just to skip it and visit my friend Donata. Donata came from a very rich family, but she didn't act very rich. However, she loved to flirt with men. We're sort of opposites.
In the end I chose to wear pants, a white shirt, and a white coat to stop the cold. I liked the color white. It's plain, and there's nothing special about it. Even my scarf and hood is white. Whenever my parents weren't around, I always wore men clothes, and no underwear. It's a lot easier to run in than a dress, and I don't really want to look pretty. Walking outside, I stopped and glanced behind me, looking at my house- no, my parents house. It was always pretty in the morning, with the dawn of the sun rising behind it. I never saw it again.
Meh. Hate this! Sigh. Right now, it's gonna be really short, since I haven't got that much time. But don't worry... later my updates should have AT LEAST 2000 words. I never really count. Anyways, apologizes for the short first chapter, and plz plz plz press that button at the end that says review. So, in one sentence, so far my chapter SUCKED, (I can't write for some reason!) and it's really short. That's all...
