Hello!

This is my first time writing fanfic and I wanna thank Theta k for helping me with this.I know its a little short , but I'll make it longer in the next chapter. So enjoy!

Chapter 1

It was a busy day in the city of Rome. The streets -paved with pale cobblestone- were flocked with merchants peddling their wares while the citizens bustled about. The roads were surrounded by deep maroon buildings which cut the streets into smaller and narrower lanes.

A lone man stalked forward, clad in white from his toes, to his head, which was veiled by a deep hood.

He stood out as a stark contrast to the people that surrounded him, but still managed to blend in perfectly with the crowd. Ordinary citizens could not recognize the man, but assassins could, as it was their mentor, Ezio Auditore.

He decided to check the pigeon coop nearby for any updates from the mission he sent his assassins on in Florence. While scrolling through the mail, one of them caught his attention. He recognized the handwriting as his sister's.

'Claudia?',he told himself as he slowly unfolded the mail.'Meet me at the Rosa Infiore ' it read. By the way it was written , he could tell that she seemed worried .

But from where he was , it was a bit far. And with the crowd , it would take at least an hour or two . While he was pondering on this thought , he found a tunnel . 'Perfect', he said in his raspy Italian voice and made his way towards it. He opened the gate and went in. Assassins used these passages to get to particular place which was rather far in quite a short time.

It was a long passage. There were torches that ran along the walls to illuminate the way. The floor and the ceiling were all made of bricks. It was quite neat compared to the other underground tunnels . Ezio used these routes for a long time , so he knew where each went. Without further delay , he started walking, while the sound of his footsteps echoed through the tunnel.

In less than about thirty minutes , he found the exit which led to the 'Rosa Infiore'. He climbed up the ladder and found himself right in front of his destination .

He opened the door and went in. The building had two floors, which was connected by a central staircase that was covered with a long red carpet . The place was colored orange , where vases filled with fragrant flowers lined the walls . But most importantly , Clara was in front of the staircase, walking back and forth hastily. The look on her face showed that she was worried about something.

'Claudia, you aske-

'Ezio! It's good that you are here ' she interrupted him.

'Why? What has happened here?'

'Sit first '

She led him to two chairs. They both sat down.

'So,what happened here? Why are you so worried?' Ezio asked her.

'Our girls have been mysteriously disappearing slowly . That's why as you can see , there are less girls as in the brothel as there was before'

'How long has this been happening?'

'About two months or so' she replied.

'Two months!? Why haven't I been informed earlier about this?'

'We didn't realize this back then until recently when I noticed the number stated to reduce'.

'Have you tried investigating?'

'Yes. But it always leads us to a dead end.'

'So what do you want me to do?'

'Hunt this person down and eliminate him'.

Ezio said as he was getting up from the chair , 'Fine. I'll start right now.'

'Ezio!' Claudia said as she got up from the chair in haste.

'Be careful.'

Ezio nodded his head in affirmation and made his way to the door. The first thing he thought was that he could not do it alone. So he decided to go and ask the thieves for their help.

This mission, was just getting started.
