To see is to believe and the truth is in our own sight, until your sight is gone and you're only left with a glimpse of what the world used to be like.

Will this work out?

"Olive, we need you now there is no other way we can stop them we need to use the machine it's-"

"No we can't make her use that, it hasn't been tested yet, what if something goes wrong!?" I listened intently to the ramblings of my two siblings, Colin and Riley never did see eye to eye. I never sided with either of them but on this occasion I knew that Colin was right, the templar's had made their own machine and had enabled them to go back in time. The only way to stop them would be to go back; the Assassins were losing this fight. I'd be dammed if they lost the war.

"Riley it's fine, I'll do it you two need to stay here and man the front line. You know I can do this, I've studied the ways of the people from that time for the past three years, I'm more than capable... trust me sister." I moved towards her and grabbed her hand and held it up in front of us, I looked her in the eyes and showed her the resolve in my eyes. I turned to Colin and blankly stared at him, he knew as well as I did that there was a chance that it may go wrong, and that I may die or never come back. It was a chance we were both willing to take. "When will it be ready?" I spoke calmly hoping that it would further assured Riley that I was fine with this, that I would be fine.

"Give it an hour and it should be up and running, Olive are you sure... one of the others could go in your place-"

"No Colin, you know as well as I do that they are needed here. You can fight without me-"

"No we can't Olive you are our best fighter! How can you leave us like this, we need you here!" Riley shrieked at me and she pulled me back round to face her, tears streaked down her face. I didn't want to leave her behind but in the end it had to be done, she knew this. But we both knew it would be hard. "Olive please..."

"Riley, I am needed there. If they change anything back in that time then imagine what could happen here. "I coughed and smiled down at her, it was like it had been when we were young, I was always the reassuring big sister. She always listened to me, but always put up one hell of a fight. "Come on you're going to make me miss out on wearing all those amazing clothes we designed, we worked hours on them." I joked trying to lighten the mood just a bit. Her face seemed to relax a bit but her eyes still held the same fear and concern that I knew was already there, I pulled her into me and hugged her tightly. "I'll come back to you, I promise just make sure you are here when I do." I pulled away and headed towards the doors, "I'll be back soon, I just need to prepare my things." I left the room and headed for my quarters, I don't know if it was actually because I was prepared about going here, or whether the fact that I was leaving hadn't sunk in yet but I was far too calm. As I pushed my door open, I looked around my room. I knew for a fact that I was going to miss the technology of 2012 more than anything, especially the light. Being afraid of the dark and going to place that uses candles for a light source, wasn't exactly a wise thing... but one that I would have to abide by.
I moved towards the chest that sat at the bottom of my bed, as I opened it I remember how I had made the clothes inside the amount of times I had hurt my hand just trying to sow was horrendous. We made sure I had the basics, except we avoided any type of colour that would draw too much attention our place me in the wrong type of category. I had a long white cape, which had a hood combined with it, the hood was big enough to cover most of my face, and the inside of the cape was a burgundy colour along with the inside of the hood. The next thing that we had worked forever on was the corset of my clothes, it was design so as it went over the cape so as it was tucked inside. The corset was also white and lined with burgundy, the top was covered with the collar of another shirt so as not to reveal too much skin. We also created a waist band that was red and had the symbol of the creed on it, I would not hide from the Templar's I was there to complete my mission and leave before something happened. My bottoms were simple black trousers, which would be tucked under my black leather greaves, whilst my boots were just normal black fabric boots, sturdy but not too fancy. I quickly changed into each part of the outfit, and then reached for some of my armour. I grabbed my Leather Vambraces, adjusting my hidden blade. I grabbed my daggers and placed them at the back of my waistband, not visible but in reaching distance. I didn't need a chest plate, since we had fitted on into the corset. I grabbed my Schiavona sword, the last thing I had from my father, before the templar's had him executed. I remember when I found out, I had just returned from abstergo trying to gain more information. Kathy had told me how they had sent them a video of his death, how they had laughed at his weakness as the tortured him. It made me sick, so I trained more and more until I was a cold hearted killer. I wouldn't let my father die in vain, the templar's already had my mother in their grasp, I failed one parent I wouldn't fail the other. I strapped the sword beside my smaller blades and moved towards the door, catching a glimpse of my reflection.
My blonde almost white hair seemed to make the white seem dirty and as though it wasn't even white. My ivory skin wasn't helping either, the only thing I actually thought was making me seem slightly human was my eyes and the fact that they had a deep set colour green that made my face seem just a bit more normal and my hair that bit less noticeable. I grabbed my hood and pushed my hair back until it was no longer visible, my face could barely be seen.
As I moved along the corridor I could hear the clinking of my blades, and the humming of the machine as it was at full power now. I knew there was no turning back now, but still my gut screamed at me to try and get out of this. Something wasn't right I knew that much, but I pushed it away as just jitters, I had to do this. I needed to.

"Are you ready Olive?" I snapped my head up towards Colin who was now standing in front of me, I hadn't even realised I had entered the room. I nodded my head once and smiled up towards him.

"Born ready Colin, so how do I look?" I did a twirl and laughed, Colin nodded approvingly while Riley just seemed to smile and move back to what she was doing at the controls.

"Good, you should fit in perfectly. You won't be there long anyway so everything should be fine, also since we added a language implant into your brain you should be able to understand everything they say. Just try not to-"

"I know Colin, I am an Assassin I know about staying in the shadows and keeping a low profile... remember who got into Abstergo and back out? But yeah maybe the language chip part could have been left out, the scar you guys left was awful." He laughed and pulled me into a hug; I smiled and returned the gesture. "Take care of Riley for me, you know if something goes wrong-"

"It won't Olive, don't think about stuff like that... I won't let that happen, I promised your father." He pulled away and moved me towards the machine, I stepped inside the large circular dome shaped room, the glass door closed and I watched as Riley moved towards the glass and mouthed, 'good luck' I smiled and stuck my thumbs up. I was ready for this, I had made this machine I had helped Colin and Seth build it, it was perfect nothing could go wrong. I hoped. "Here we go Olive!" I smiled and looked at my sister one last time.

"Safety and peace, sister-" The entire room was filled with and electric blue light, my head felt like it had been cracked against a wall, I opened my eyes and tried to see what was happening. The light was too bright I could feel my eyes burning and my sight started to fade, I felt like I was burning. The electric couldn't have been coming from the machine, I made sure everything was perfect, although we really had no idea how the fragment of the Piece of Eden would react to it... was it really reacting this badly to technology? My lungs felt like they were about to burst, until I noticed that I was screaming with all the strength I had in me. Everything went dark, I could feel myself being pulled by something but I couldn't move.

"Colin... what's happening to her!"

I could feel myself floating, being pushed and pulled. Until I was dropped suddenly, my body stiffened and I couldn't really comprehend anything. I listened carefully, the sounds of people talking and shouting, the sound of clattering metal and the stamping of feet echoed through my head. I snapped my eyes open. My heart stopped. Something was wrong dreadfully wrong; the colours and the shades of the world were gone, replaced by a deep shade of blue and black. I couldn't understand what was happening, I had heard of some assassin's having this sight but I had never fully mastered it. And I couldn't seem to get rid of it. Then I remembered my eyes and how they burnt, was I blind, I couldn't be I could see blind people couldn't see anything... what is this?
I hauled myself up until I was standing, I looked down at myself and found that I was still intact everywhere else, nothing was destroyed or ripped. I was fine, I moved towards the entrance of the alley where I had woken up. The sound of people and shouts of what I presumed where merchants grew and grew. I peered round the corner and found that the people, where just like the rest of the buildings except a lighter shade of blue. If my training was correct that meant they were innocents just normal civilians. Then I noticed red people, with swords and heavy armour. It wasn't hard to guess that they were the guards and that it was advisable to stay away from them... I moved further out making sure my hood was over my face, I blended into the crowd and moved around desperately trying to find out where I was. I sat down on a near bench and listened into the conversations around me, I heard people talking about a murder and a man, but I quickly ignored that it wasn't of any use. Then shortly after a very loud woman started complaining about how much of a pathetic excuse of a place Jerusalem was, how she wanted to leave. My heart stopped, I wasn't meant to be here, I was supposed to be at Masyaf where the assassins where. I stood up abruptly and walked in to a passing woman due to my shock.

"I apologise-"

"What are you and where have you come from?" I looked at her curiously and tilted my head to the side, what did she mean?

"I don't understand-"

"You have eyes as white as doves feather, what happened to you?" She spoke quietly now as she noticed that I was not a threat to her. My heart seemed to clench in fear, white eyes. That would be just perfect almost pale skin, almost white hair and now white eyes. Just perfect, maybe she won't freak out.

"I-I'm blind... I'm sorry I bumped in to you, I'm lost and can't find my way." I basically lied through my teeth, I wasn't blind I could see but telling her that I had a weird vision that was only mastered by those of a certain blood line wouldn't really gain her trust. I looked at the woman's face, she seemed to have came to a conclusion as though her mind had been made up, did she really believe me?

"What is your name child?" She moved closer to me and put an arm around my shoulders, as though she was cradling me. I felt guilty for not telling the woman the truth, she was after all about to take me under her wing and take care of me, but it was better than freaking her out.

"My name is Olive Chaya..." She seemed to be smiling at me; I noticed that she was trying to guide me somewhere, so I followed her respectfully. Although I stayed on high alert.

"An unusual but beautiful name, I am Adina Mazal come with me I'll take care of you." I smiled and followed her, but my smile soon changed as I soon realised that something had went terribly wrong with the transition meaning that I could not only be in the wrong place... but the wrong time.

"My gratitude but, Adina what year is it?" I felt Adina tense slightly at the question; she turned and looked at me slightly but smiled anyway. She laughed slightly and pulled me closer to her possibly in fear that the answer may make me run away.

"My child it is the year 1190, why do you ask?" Just one year, one year out of time wasn't that bad just as long as I don't do anything wrong or out of place I should be fine. But why have Riley or Colin not brought me back... can they bring me back, would I be able to survive a year here?

"Nothing, it does not matter now." My head fell, and I felt myself slowly sink into myself, a year in a time that I should not be in. With a woman who does not know the truth about me, would this work out at all?
