Ah the cloudy days. Make you want to have more days like this. The world is more interesting when it is raining. And the thunderstorms add to the interesting level. For me, it's a refreshing feeling to feel the rain hit my jacket, the cold wind cutting in my skin. Make me feel good inside. That's what I'm doing right now in my room. Oh, I should introduce myself. My name is Arno Shay Cormac. I am a 11 year old French assassin in training at the assassin academy in Italy. I'm the grandson of a rouge assassin who nearly wiped out the North America branch. Now, before you say I'm too young to be a assassin, that's not true. I believe that 11 is a good age to start your training. I'm getting ahead of myself so let's go to my likes. My likes or rain and thunderstorms, cloudy days, practicing my skills, and walking in the rain. And the reason why, it's a good feeling for me. I just enjoy the rain. I love the feeling, the cold breeze, everything. And since it's fall, it's a good time for me to do some walking. But for now, I want to talk about what happened to me. So here it goes.
I was practicing with my friend Ezio in the training courtyard. Ezio is a good friend who understands me very well. Both of us are top in our class, with Ezio behind me. My skills were carried from both my grandfather and father. But anyway, I was practicing when I had a strange feeling, like I felt I was being watched. I looked back to see a strange girl watching me from the bridge. She had blonde red hair, and she was wearing a jacket with both her arms in the pockets. What made me surprised was the hat she was wearing. The hat has cat like ears on the side. I never seen anyone wear that hat before, not around here at least. Another thing was she was wearing a eye patch on the right side of their eye. "Arno, you ok" asked Ezio. I looked back at my friend and said "I thought I saw someone watching me." Ezio looked behind me and said " I don't see anyone, you sure you ok?" "No, I'm fine. Let's keep practicing." That girl watching replayed my mind when I returned to my room and layed on my bed. The way she look at me, she looked disgusted, like she didn't liked the way I fight. Who is she? I thought to myself this must be a dream. Who wear a hat like that? I should tell you about the room I live in. My room is a simple one. Has a bed and a window, although the window dosent' have glass covering it. But I don't mind. The room in inside a castle, which is where my academy is located. It's a large campus with a large practice yard, classrooms, and a cafeteria. It's located in a small town in Italy. I usually go walk around the town on my days off. So back to my story, I was about to go to sleep when I heard the door knock. "Who is it?" I asked. "You know who it is." I smiled and opened the door. It's was my mentor Arto. He has a good sense of humor and a great mentor to me. Arto looked at me and with a grin said "You been laying close to the window again have you?" "I have". "I see." "So what do you want" I asked. "La Sare wants to see you". That shocked me a bit. La Sare was the Dean of the academy. He knows my father very well. What did he want to speak to me about? "I haven't been to the dean for I while, wanna show me the way" I asked. "Sure".
20 minutes later were at the deans office at the upper level of the castle. I can still hear the rain and thunderstorms hitting. "Well Arno, we're here". "Thanks Arto, well I see you later". "Sure, if you like, maybe you can tell me what happens". After that Arto when down the stairs. I was all alone, looking at the doors that lead to La Sares office. I was about to open the door when I heard voices coming from La sares office. As I leaned in to hear better I heard La Sare talking to a girl, no two girls, and they were talking about me. I wonder if one of them is the girl I saw this morning. I knocked on the door. La Sare answered "Arno we were waiting for you" Well that "we" confirmed that there were two girls in there. The rain hit harder, so that made me calm. Nerveless, I opened the door.
