As well as my Evie & Jacob one shots, I am also writing a modern Assassin's creed series

Previously in this series: After being framed for a crime, Jacob left the Order and the Assassin village. Five year later, the Young Assassin team meet Vex and enter into an agreement with him and his club.

After a bombing at the club, it is revealed that Shay Patrick Cormac has escaped the high security prison he was in…. and is now in the wind. Jacob however, after making a brief appearance at a festival, is still in the wind.

Please enjoy, and read and review J

…

"Jacob why are we doing this?"

Jacob glanced back at his sister and beamed at her, a large torch in his hand as they crept through the corridors of the Assassin library. "You heard Dad…. There's a forbidden section! That's like saying, 'come on children, bet you can't break in here!'"

"… I'm pretty sure that's not what he meant by 'forbidden.'"

"I don't care!"

Evie rolled her eyes at her brothers' sing-song voice, watching critically as he picked the locks that prevented anyone from entering the forbidden section of the library.

"… Are you going to take any longer?"

"Patience sister of mine, patience."

Eventually, the lock pinged open and Jacob mutely whooped in glee. "Success!"

Before Evie could say anything, her twin rushed into the section, leaving her behind in the darkness.

"Jacob!" she hissed, "Jacob!"

"Over here!"

Slowly, she headed in the direction of Jacob's voice, frowning when she saw him shining the torch up at several dusty shelves. "Look at this…" the fifteen-year-old chuckle, "… the Lair of Romulus? Ain't that what Ezio's doing his whole project on for history?"

"Yeeees."

"… We could totally get this book for him!"

"Noooooo."

Clambering onto the desk, Jacob reached up to grab the book… which refused to come out.

"See, this is why we should have access…" Jacob grunted, tugging on the book, "… some of these books are stuck togeth- WOAH!"

With one sharp tug, the book came free… unfortunately, due to the unexpectedness of it, Jacob lost his balance and fell backwards off the table, landing heavily on the ground.

The loud crash echoed throughout the entire library, closely followed by the sound of someone rushing into the room.

"Hello?!" called out a guard Assassin, "Who's there?"

Evie glared at her brother as they shuffled across the floor, remaining as low as possible as Jacob switched the torch off.

They could hear the guard walking closer, already walking towards the forbidden section, prompting them to hide under a nearby table, remaining as quiet as possible.

"Evie!"

Evie twisted around and frowned…. Her brother had his eyes tightly closed and his hand over his mouth… he didn't say anything.

"Evie!"

Yeah… he definitely didn't say anything.

"Evie!"

Evie awoke with a gasp, shooting into a seated position and almost colliding heads with Henry, who was leaning over her.

Thankfully, her boyfriend dodged, shuffling back on the bed. "Sorry…" he apologised, "… bad dream?"

"No…. no i-I was…" she took a deep breath, "… I was dreaming about Jacob…. About the time we snuck into the forbidden section of the library."

"That was you two?"

Evie chuckled, "Oh yeah… Jacob was thrilled when we weren't caught." She then glanced at the clock by their bed and frowned, "It's seven a.m on our day off…. What's wrong?"

"… We're needed in the Council Room. All of us."

…..

"At six thirty this morning, a body was found in the east quarter of the town." Grandmaster Altair began, "Martin Hardy was the Vice Chancellor of the Dominion Bank; however, this was only found out after searching the body."

The Young Assassin team frowned, glancing between the Council and Sergeant Abberline, who was standing by a large white screen.

"I don't want to ask this…" Edward sighed, "… but why did they have to search the body to identify him?"

Freddie pressed a button, and the body of the man appeared of the screen, horrifying injuries all over his face, blood pooling underneath his head. "He was mauled to death…" the officer sighed, "… him and his two German Shepherds."

Frowning, Ezio raised a hand, "The east quarter? Why is a banker walking his dogs down there? And in the dark?"

"We have no idea… apparently it wasn't his normal route." Freddie zoomed in on the neck of the victim, "We brought Leo in to have a look, and he determined that the cause of death, unsurprisingly, was the fact that his throat had been torn open."

"Torn how?"

"… Leo said it was like a bite. Like a dog grabbed his throat and ripped it."

"One single dog would have some trouble dealing with two fully grown German Shepherds…" Connor spoke up, "…. So maybe we're looking at something bigger?"

"Like a wolf maybe?" Haytham interrupted, from his Council seat, "I know you've seen wolf wounds Connor. Can you accurately say whether that's the case or not?"

"Not that wound, it's too… jagged."

"And..." Freddie spoke up, "… I think someone would have noticed a wolf wandering around the town."

As the rest of the team nodded in agreement, Freddie shook his head. "Look… usually I'd let the police handle this, rather than getting you all involved but the media has gone mental and the Mayor is breathing down my boss's neck… apparently he used to play golf with the victim."

"Well…" Evie spoke up turning to Connor, "… if it is a wolf, I believe you should be able to track it?"

"Yes… if it is a wolf that did this, which it is not."

"Oh?"

Connor gestured at the picture, "A wolf would have tried to eat the corpse of both the man and the dogs… it wouldn't have just bitten them and run away."

"Maybe it was scared off?"

Before Connor could answer, Freddie spoke up once again. "Another thing I should mention…" he pressed another button and a picture of a gun showed up, "… the victim had this in his hand. It seems to indicate that he had it out and ready when he was killed. It is still fully loaded, as though he didn't have time to fire a shot."

"… That is strange." Evie nodded in agreement, before turning to Connor, "… I know it may not be an actual wolf, but can you still but your tracking skills to good use?"

"I will do my very best."

"Excellent…" Evie then turned to Freddie, "… and we'll try and figure out why a prominent banker was out at that time in the night, in that area of the town, with a loaded gun and two guard dogs."
