Since I saw some similarities between the games, I kinda farted out this AU drabble. Lemme know what you think? :3


47 gazed at the heart in his hand, watched the way the mechanics caused the muscle to twitch as it spoke.

"We have both been here before," her voice was a lovely, soothing one. Before he acquired the Heart, the last time he heard it was six months ago. He paced around the bed, squinting his eyes at the royal purple silk sheets that were cold upon the mattress.

"Take Victoria and run!" she was on the floor in a pool of her own blood again as he looked down at the ground. He held her close, seeing the light slowly fade from her eyes.

"You still have a chance…" the words were heavy on his tongue; they flowed through the air with a labored breath.

"There's no time," the Empress smiled at him wearily and reached a hand up to cup his face. "I always thought you had the loveliest eyes," she sighed.

47 blinked his eyes rapidly and he was back in the bedroom in the tower. The bed had the same royal purple sheets on the bed that were on there when the Empress rose from her bed...their bed, for the last time. The fire in the fireplace cracked and continued to burn and the walls were still a blinding white.

The moon's light would illuminate the room when all the lights were out and give everything a certain glow.

"I am not alive - nor have I received the gift of death," the Heart's enchanting voice broke the assassin out of his thoughts.

47 closed his eyes and his face contorted at the memory of the Empress' smile face and her shimmering eyes.

"I will be glad to rest."

He slipped the mask back over his face with a numb mind and heavy hands that did not want to move. His hand then whipped out the sword as he heard footsteps near the door.

The lock unlatched and the door began to swing open. The Outsider's mark on 47's hand began to glow brightly.

Lord Regent Travis would finally meet his end.
