What the hell happened?!

by Alltheworld

It was impossible. Inconceivable. No, seriously this was not logically possible. So it was understandable when the girl sitting next to her began to panic. Luckily for her, such impossibilities were the frequent subject of her fantasies. Though the shock dominated her chaotic thoughts, she was able to snap out of it with a well-earned "what the fuck is happening?"

Ok, maybe she wasn't quiet as "prepared" as she would like to have been to face one of her fantasy adventures come to life. But she never wished to involve a good friend in what was bound to be a dangerous adventure that would likely end in their untimely deaths. Yeah. The fact that her friend was here was enough reason to panic but also a reason to implore her, admittedly poor, survival instincts to make themselves useful (haha). Oh, yeah, they could totally survive on their meager skills. All she really had to do was avoid the assassi-.

Goddammit! How the hell did Altair freaking Ibn La 'Ahad find them? They literally popped into the dusty alleyway 2 minutes ago. What the hell were they gonna do now?

Fortunately, (or not) they didn't have time to be killed by the master assassin as Malik strode around the corner behind the girls and preceded to berated Altair. The word 'novice' was thrown around a lot. Unsurprisingly. And then Malik spotted the two girls on the ground. At which point the panicked friend preceded to faint. And honestly? Anna felt like joining her in blissful unconsciousness. Unfortunately, she had to protect said friend, so instead she began cursing in Japanese. And some Italian curses were thrown in for good measure. She may have insulted the Pope's mother. No one really knows.

She was sitting on a lone (comfy) cushion next to a running fountain, tending to her still unconscious friend while keeping an eye on the assassin leaning on the opposite wall. She could her Malik in the other room looking for … something. Her stomach hoped it was food. She wondered when they would interrogate her. (they were not) And why they bothered to bring her and her friend to the bureau. (to tend to the unconscious girl) If it were someone else (like a templar spy), this would have been a huge mistake. Inside (in the midst of panic and planning an escape), she was labeling them as novices despite the fact that they could kill her with one hand. But mostly she was freaking the fuck out.

Finally, Malik found what he was looking for (medicine) and approached her. Anna was immediately on full alert, crouching protectively over her venerable friend. At this Malik paused, scowling.

"I am only going to tend to her wounds." Malik stated angrily.

"She's not hurt." Anna deadpanned, face wary and guarded.

"Then why did she collapse?" he asked suspiciously.

"You wouldn't understand, novizio." she intoned, not shifting from her position.

Malik huffed angrily (is he pouting?) before directing his glare towards Altair who didn't take his eyes off the girls.

"What now, novice?" (yep, totally pouting)

"…."

"Well?"

"…We can do no more for them."

"Your just going to let them go? After going to all the trouble to bring them here? You must be mad!"

"They are innocents and know nothing. We have no reason to keep them here."

Malik grunted in frustration before stomping away, muttering under his breath.

"…."

"….."

Anna settled down again but did not take her eyes off the master assassin. So he saw the exact moment when her expression began to slowly soften as her mind raced over sentimental thoughts.

What will happen to us? Will we ever find our families again? Are we gonna die here? Why is he still staring at me? How creepy. What about my cat? Will they declaw her? They had better not or there will be hell to pay. Will I never see another Roddick movie? Oh, Vin Diesel. I miss your glorious muscles already!

When the time to leave came, nothing went as expected. After a tense standoff, Anna allowed Altair to lift her friend up and scale through the hatch while Malik grumpily helped her climb up. Just as her head poked through the roof a flash of white light blinded all four of them. (Emily choose that ever convenient moment to wake up) And the Anna felt herself falling through empty air.

Italian words used.
