The Creed

Ch1: what happens now? Hey guys, I'm back for a new story, the creed. It's an assassins creed story with James Kidd a.k.a Mary read, and Edward Kenway as the main characters, enjoy and I hope you guys like it.

Mary read, assassin and pirate, running through the jungles of Nassau, her mission as an assassin was to kill the man in charge of nassau since it was taken over, a Templar by the name of lance fin. With her was Anne Bonnie a pirate quartermaster and a member of Mary's crew. Dozens of guards behind them and closing, behind them was lance himself only wounded.

"I WANT THEM ALIVE! I WANT THEM TORTURED!" He yelled. Mary could tell he was more whiney than any Templar she had met, and was glad she shot him.

"Anymore bright ideas, Mary?" Anne asked as they came upon a cliff.

"Just one...JUMP!" She yelled grabbing Anne and jumping into the water. The guards caught up searching the water, luckily using their stealth they were able to avoid them. Once the guards had left to a yelling and whiney lance fin they rose for air. They swam to shore and laid there for about a minute. They heard a crack behind the corner, they turned sweaty and tired, but swords held tight. A muskrat waddled out of the corner. They calmed, but slowly they heard the clicking of guns, five soldiers jumped out and knocked Anne out. Mary gave an angry look and tried to attack, but ended up getting the end of the gun from the very man she tried to assassinate. She slumped to the ground and he spat.

"I can't believe it took you idiots this long to catch them! Best soldiers in the covenant...sure! Get these pirate whores out of my sight, and get them on the next boat to Jamaica. I want it done, And I want it done NOW!" He yelled at them. They nodded and rolled their eyes as they dragged them away.

Miles away, Edward kenway was in the same situation. A guard came in and behind him the captain. The officer dropped the glop from the storage that they called food.

"This'll be the only scrap of food you'll see for a long time, Kenway. enjoy it while you can. OOH! I can't wait to see you hanged for, about the thousands of men you've killed, good or bad in your case. It'll also set an example for any remaining pirates you happen to know. So as I said, enjoy it. It may be the last you'll ever see." He said. Edward said nothing, he only sat there staring at the glop. The officers left him to it. He shed a single tear knowing this might be the end and he still had unfinished business.

Flashback

"Well, kenway? What do you say? Will you become an assassin?" Mary asked.

"I don't know, Mary. For the pirates life is what I set upon nothing more or less, until now I guess." He said with a smirk.

"It may be, Edward. But what if you get caught in the act of this pirate life? What then?" She asked smirking back.

"As I said Mary I don't know, I joined this life for plunder and glory. And again as I said nothing more nothing less." He said.

"Dammit, Edward! I bet you don't even believe in that stuff anymore! I bet you're just trying to deny me being right." She said irritated.

"Look, Mary you tell Ah Tabai and your other assassin mates that I'll think about it. If the thought comes up again." He said.

"Choose wisely Edward, change your current course before it's too late." She said walking back to her ship.

Flashback end.

She had been right all along and now he was too late. He still needed to give her an answer too, he snapped out of it and looked down at the glop. He took one bite and threw up. He tossed it at the wall and sat once more and sighed, waiting for their arrival at the British prison of Jamaica.

They arrived on schedule, both ships. The trial was already beginning when they sat Edward down. Out walked Mary and Anne, a surprised look on each of their faces. A major came forward and stopped.

"The right and honorable judge, jack roaster presiding." Said a captain of guard. The judge walked out with a smug face all three could see he hated their guts. An attorney as it seemed stepped forward.

"Milord, his majesties court contends that the defendants, Mary read and Anne Bonnie, adding on to their many murders and bombings, did piratically and feloniously and in a hostile matter, attack, engage and take seven certain fishing boats. Secondly, this court contends that the defendants lurked upon the high seas and set upon, attack, and take two certain merchant sloops, thus putting the captains and their crews in corporeal fear of their lives." Said the attorney. Suddenly Governors Rogers and Torres came and sat behind them, following Torres's body guard.

"Edward James Kenway, born of Motley parentage in Swansea...to an English father and welsh mother...married at eighteen to a miss Caroline Scott, now estranged." Said Rogers.

"She's a beautiful woman, I'm told. But not all well these days." Said Torres.

"If you touch her, you bastards, I'll-" he was cut off by Rogers pointing a gun in his back.

"Quite a surprise finding you here, rotting in a Jamaican prison. We heard rumors that you had teamed up with the pirate Roberts." Said Torres once more.

"If you know where the observatory Is, tell us now, and you'll be out of here in a flash." Said Rogers.

"Remember, kenway this will be your fate if you don't cooperate." Said Torres.

"...you Mary read and Anne Bonnie, are to go from hence to the place from whence you came and then to the place of execution. Where you will be severely hanged by the neck until you are severely dead, dead, dead!" He said.

"O'rot!" Anne yelled.

"May god and his infinite mercy be merciful on each of your souls..."

"We're pregnant!" Mary yelled. Gasps from all around. "Do you all hear that?"

"What the devil did she say?!" He retorted.

"They plead their bellies, milord." Said the captain.

"Aye, you can't hang a woman quick with child, can ya?" She said. He banged his gabble.

"Quiet! Quiet! If what you say is true, then your executions will be stayed. But ONLY until your terms are met." He said slamming his gabble.

"Then I'll be up the duff the next time you come knocking." Anne yelled.

"Remove them!" He yelled as the guards took the three of them away.

Nearly an hour later ah tabai set Edward free and they were now heading to the main prison encampment where Anne and Mary were heavy with child. They arrived at the main prison and found Anne and Mary. He saw her in her cell.

"Mary? Mary, it's me Edward." He said.

"Edward, who is this person?" Asked Anne.

"It's alright Anne he's a friend." He said back."what's wrong with Mary?" He asked

"She's ill." She said.

"And her child?"

"They took her, don't know where. AHH!" She yelled.

"Please miss, I know it pains you, but we must go." Ah tabai said.

While Edward was getting Mary up ah tabai helped Anne and they were well ahead already. Edward helped Mary up, she could barely walk. As they came down a narrow hallway she couldn't take it any more.

"Stop! Stop, Edward! AHHHH!, put me down." She was put on the ground. "Don't die on my account. Go." She said.

"Dammit, Mary, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant? You should have been the one to outlast me." He said a tear in his eye.

"Heh heh...you don't remember do you Kenway?"

"Remember what?" He asked.

"When we triumphed over prince we went to the great inagua, we drank it away a bit...too much." She said raspy.

"W-wait, you mean...that we...oh my god I don't know what to say, other than I'm so sorry. I wish I knew, I wish I was there for you." He said tears running down his face.

"It wasn't your fault kenway, I know that our daughter is safe, ah tabai sent 6 assassins to the place she was taken to, an orphanage in Kingston, rather quick too. I know they'll do their job and take her to Tulum." she said with a faint smile.

"You can't go Mary I need you with me, without you I'd be lost." He said.

"I'll be with you Edward, I'll be with...you." Her last words. He looked down wiping the tears from his eyes and carried her body to the boat where ah tabai and Anne were waiting. Anne was shocked.

"Is she...I mean...did she...?"

"She's gone." He said grieving.

"Her daughter is safe, back at Tulum." Said ah tabai.

"A few of her last words were I should take care of ou...I mean her daughter." Edward said.

"To Tulum and make sure to stay away from enemy ships no matter how big or small." Tabai said to the helmsman. They sailed off to safety and freedom.
