Jacob Frye x Reader
(Hi guys, this is my first fanfiction story so I apologise for any misspelt words or if it doesn't make sense in general. Hope u enjoy the story)
(P.S this first paragraph (sequence 3) is around the moment after Jacob and Evie are introduced to Henry Green, the part when they are on the roof and before they perform the leap of faith)
No one's POV:
"Where is Mr Green's shop located? It was marked on Father's map..." Evie questioned
Suddenly a funny looking man appeared behind them "Two Assassins, Equal in height. One female, one male. Two decades old, and those devilish smiles. You must be the Frye Twins", The strange man stated.
"And you are…?" Evie investigated.
The man replied "Henry Green at your service. I was sorry to learn about your father's passing."
"Thank you." Evie responded while looking daringly into his brown coloured eyes.
Jacob noticed this and changed to the subject "What can you tell us about Crawford Starrick?"
"I suppose the Council desires news?" Henry queried
"London must be freed. To provide a better future for all of its citizens." Evie said directly
"Well thank goodness the Council saw reason and sent you to aid us." Henry answered
"Yes, thank goodness" Jacob said while looking away, only knowing the real reason why they both came to London.
"Unfortunately I am the bearer of bad news. Today, Starrick sits at the helm of the most sophisticated Templar infrastructure known in the western world. Every class, every borough, the gangs, the industries – His reach extends all across London." Henry enlightened them about Starrick.
Jacob butts in "I've always thought of myself as a gang leader. Firm but fair. We'll have uniforms. And I'll unite a mix of disenfranchised outsiders under one name. That's it Evie. We can rally them to our side."
"Oh? Like the way that you rallied those card players at the Oakbrook Tavern in to the river?" Evie jokingly replied
"That was different, they beat me at whist. I can see it now! We'll call ourselves The Rooks." Jacob triumphed with the name of his new gang name
Disappointed, Evie made a sarcastic comment "You were never good at chess either"
"Have you got a better plan?" Jacob wondered
"Find the Piece of Eden". Evie quickly replied
"Ah…" Jacob could sometimes never understand his sister
Henry broke up the conversation, "Well, let me show you the lay of the Land, shall we.
(This is the part where you, the reader, comes in.)
Jacobs POV:
Suddenly a shadow caught my eye from the other row of buildings, it looked like something so intimidating yet calm and warm.
I said to Greenie "Oi Henry, who is that?"
"Oh that, that's Y/N L/N, daughter of the famous master assassin Benjamin L/N, she is a troublemaker but is a true sweetheart deep down. She has been helping me watch over London as well as get my supplies for my shop which sometimes go missing, she also studied Ninjutsu when she travelled and lived in Japan for 6 years, then again why do you ask?" Henry questioned
"Just wondering" I was wondering and secretly amazed by how agile she was. But like all good things that must come to an end, she leaped off of the roof and graceful vanished out of my sight. I thought to myself 'I hope I meet her someday'.
No one's POV:
Henry continued:
"Look at what Starrick has done to this city, Whitechapel is riddled with crime- Child labour, despite regulations- A gang known as the Blighters overruns the streets. And Templars manipulating behind the scenes, As in all the other boroughs. We need to return this city to the people who built it in the first place."
"We will free London from Starrick, you have my word. Evie informed
"And my Rooks!" Jacob popping in on the conversation
"Miss Frye, your passion is inspiring. Come. Let us return to my shop and I can bring you up to date on the rest" Henry said while smiling at Evie, Ignoring Jacob completely
And so the 3 assassins leaped into a hay barrel and followed Henry
"Keep quiet, Kaylock's looking for me" Henry ushered
"Who's Kaylock?" Evie asked
"One of Starrick's gang leaders" Henry replied
"Why does he want you?" Jacob said in curiosity
"He's after some of my more arcane research into one of the Precursor artifacts." Henry explained
Evie butted in saying "….The Piece of Eden."
"So tell me about these 'Blighters'." Jacob questioned
"In search of an army, Starrick gathered up the nastiest of the Underworld, some of the city's gangs tried to prevent it – and were slaughtered for their efforts. Now only Whitechapel's Clinkers remain opposed. But they're no match for the Blighters." Henry said
"Well let's shine these Clinkers up then, shall we? They're just the sort we're looking for!" Jacob expressed
"You can't be serious." Evie said in a serious tone
"Evie, they're ready to fight and oppose the Blighters. This is my chance to step in. Look out London, here come the Rooks!" Jacob proclaimed
Jacob accidentally bumped into a bearded man "Confound this city! No one looks where they're going"
"Yes, I've noticed that." Jacob sassily replied
"Bloody Drood! I'll never finish it at this rate!, Only providence knows where those words are headed now. Well, I must get to work replacing them. Should you ever be in the mood for a tale or two, you can always find me where the ale is warm and tempers are hot! Ta-ta!" The bearded man strangely said
"What an odd man." Jacob stated
"That, Mister Frye, was Charles Dickens. Knows everyone and everything in the city. If I were you. I would keep that connection in your back pocket." Henry informed Jacob
"Kaylock's gang is nearby, they must not follow me back to my shop." Henry worriedly said
"We'll take care of it" Evie assured Henry
"Here, you might be able to use this" Henry said while giving the twins a pistol each
"Oh God I hope so." Jacob confessed
"My carriage is nearby. Make use of it to throw them off my trail. I will meet you at the curio shop" Henry said while making his departure
And so the Frye twins where able to Get Kaylock's gang off of Henry's trail and found his curio shop
"Did you give them the slip?" Henry questioned
"We gave them more than that." Jacob informed with his well know devilish smile
"Who are all these people?" Evie curiously asked
"Over the years I have established a number of connections across the city." Henry replied
"Splendid! We'll need focused aid- "Evie happily proclaimed
"Focused aid? Psh, we take over Starrick's gangs, we cripple his control." Jacob simply put.
"You're not aiming high enough. Starrick has influence in every branch of society. We need to match him." Evie told her brother.
"I see what you're saying, Evie. We need the Rooks." Jacob said in a victorious tone of voice.
"You're not starting a gang called The Rooks" Evie furiously stated to her twin.
"I believe I may have an idea of my own" Henry popped into the conversation "You will need the police to turn a blind eye to our activities. My ally in the force Sergeant Abberline. I've heard he's a master of disguise." "Next up – urchins" "Urchins?" Jacob questioned "Urchins. Children make for excellent spies." Henry continued
"Clara O'Dea…." Evie began to say
"Smart as a whip, that one." Henry informed "Finally, you would be wise to remember that Starrick never acts alone. There are gang leaders in every borough. You'll meet them soon enough, no doubt. Rexford Kaylock, known for his ability to vanish before your very eyes."
"Shall we make him vanish for real?" Jacob joked
"I suppose." Evie said
"One moment…Hm, a Templar target you might want to look into. Be cautious, it's rough out there." Henry proclaimed
"Don't worry about me Greenie, I can handle a few thugs" Jacob devilishly said to Henry
Jacob's POV:
Suddenly an angelic voice came from the door saying "Hey Henry, I got your supplies back, oh, you have some company"
I turned around to see who was speaking and as my eyes traced the figure in front of me, my face began to redden like a strawberry in summer until I meet these amazingly detailed E/C eyes
"Y/N, I'd like you to meet the Frye twins, Jacob and Evie Frye" Henry stated
Y/N, I remember that name, it was the girl Greenie was talking about.
She put the crate of supplies on the table and introduced herself "Hello Mister and Miss Frye, I'm Y/N L/N, it is a pleasure to meet you both."
Then all of a sudden, I had a rush of confidence and spoke
"The pleasure is all ours Miss L/N." I picked up her right hand and placed a sweet soft kiss upon it, I looked up at her face and she seemed to appear to be flushed. She slowly removed her hand from mine which by doing so I felt an unknown sadness
"Well, this has been nice and all but I must go return to my father, Good day Henry, Mister Frye, Miss Frye." She made her way to the door to leave.
"Would you like some company on your journey, Miss L/N?" I asked her, hoping she say yes
"That would be marvellous Mister Frye, but I'm afraid I cannot be late, my father would worry immensely if I do not return shortly, but many thanks Mister Frye."
My faced dropped to the floor "Ok Miss L/N, and please call me Jacob."
"Ok, Jacob farewell"
"Goodbye"
Your POV:
As you climbed up the building next to the Curio Shop, you stopped and wondered why your heart was beating so fast after meeting Jacob, was it just nerves or an admiration perhaps, but you finally can back to your senses and made your way to your Father's house, looking forward to see that young attractive Mister Frye again soon…
