Knight's Cross

Summary: Drabbles with Daniel Cross and my OC, Clodagh Knight, an Irish Assassin – turned – Templar, involved with Vidic's experiments. Cross X OC.

Rating: T, for language.

A/N: I'm new to writing drabbles and would appreciate some feedback. Also, Clodagh is an Irish name and is pronounced 'Clodah'. Personally, I think Daniel Cross needs more love! If you have any ideas for Drabbles for this story, I would really love to hear them and I may add them to my story. You can leave them in the reviews or pm me. I don't own anything, only my OC. Please enjoy!

Daniel was fourteen when Vidic first introduced them. "Daniel, I want to introduce you to someone. She's part of the Animus Project, like you. Her name is Clodagh Knight. She's Irish. Clodagh, this is Daniel Cross." She was five years younger than him. She was petite and pale with short, dark hair and her clothes, jeans and an old, baggy hoodie, were scruffy, like she was outside all the time. She looked at the floor and dug her nails into her palms that rested against her thighs.

"Hi" Daniel said, but she didn't respond. He held out his hand to shake hers. At first, Daniel thought she wouldn't shake it, but eventually she did. A quick shake before pulling a hand back to herself. He hand was cold and calloused, Daniel noted, and she had bruising around her wrist. Vidic's men must have gotten rough with her when they were sent to take her. "You two will be working very closely with each other in the future. So try to be friends" Vidic explained.

If Vidic were ever to ask, Daniel would deny it completely, but he had, unintentionally, grown attached to Clodagh and Clodagh was quiet attached to Daniel. They were always together. They shared a room together, ate meals together, two kids in Abstergo Industries Mess Hall with over a hundred adults, and while one was in the Animus, the other was not too far away. At first, Clodagh didn't talk much, but as she settled, she talked more and Daniel was completely entranced by her accent. At night, when Vidic thought they were in bed, they would sneak to the roof together, watch the stars and tell each other stories of their ancestors that they had leant through the Animus.

Then, the Bleeding Effect started to happen. Daniel started to suddenly fall in and out of Russian. Clodagh would start fighting with Daniel, throwing punches at him, shouting at him in a language Daniel hadn't heard before. They took care of each other when this happened. Clodagh learned a few Russian words to calm Daniel and Daniel would hold Clodagh down and called her name until she finally came back to him.

They trained together, hand to hand combat and leaning to use weapons. Clodagh had learned quickly and could hold her own against Daniel and even some of Abstergo's best.

They were together about a year before Daniel left. Vidic had taking him during the night and Clodagh lay in her bed, wondering what Vidic had done with him. Vidic returned and explained that he sent Daniel on a mission but he wouldn't return for few years and that Clodagh herself will go on a mission too some day. And she did, after six months of feeling completely alone and missing Daniel, Vidic called her to his office. "I'm sending you home, back to Ireland. There's an artefact there I want, called the Fragment Of Eden. Its last known location is Ireland, but I don't know exactly where, I'm sorry. It may take a few years to find. You get to act normal for a few years" explained Vidic, "Once you retrieve it, contact me and I'll sent a team to bring you home. Do you understand?"

"How are you so sure I'll return?" asked Clodagh. "I'm not, that's your choice to make, but I sure you will, after all, you know what the Templars do to those who betray them" Vidic said with a Sadistic smile. With that, Clodagh was off. A ten year old girl released into the world alone with a mission to complete. She sighed, wondering what Daniel was doing, what his mission was. She left Vidic's office and packed a backpack, with only what she needed, and left Abstergo Industries, unsure of when she'd return.
