Okay, So Kita is basically a girl from the Mohawk village who was suppose to become the Clan Mother after Ziio was denied the position (since she dated a Templar). So now she wants to help Connor save thier people and goes to find him. Of course, she gets captured like Ziio did and was going to be sold as a slave. Enjoy and don't forget to review!
"Come one, come all! See the finest assortment of slaves in Boston!" Shouted the town crier. It was a cold New England winter, and Connor had made his way into the city to run some errands for his mentor Achillies. He was making his way towards the general store when he saw a group of slaves being auctioned off in the town center.
"This is despicable," He grumbled, "How is it these people who strive for their own freedom still deprive people of their own." He wondered. He walked to the front of the the auction to see what was going on.
"We've African slaves, Carribean slave, and Natives slaves!" Announced the town crier. Connor cringed at the mention of Natives, and hoped that they were not from his own tribe. He counted five natives, four men and one young woman. The men didn't seem to be of the Mohawk tribe, and neither did the woman. Yet, he couldn't see her face so he wasnt sure.
"Our first slave to be auctioned is Allison, of the Mohawk tribe." The auctioner said, grabbing said girl by her chains to be presented to the crowd. He grabbed her chin to present her face to the audience, "She's healthy, strong, and could make a fine gift to any man's son." He said, chuckling after the last part.
"Mohawk?" Connor thought in his mind as he examined the woman. She has long wavy brown hair that met the middle of her back and big brown eyes, a face he had seen in his past before. What really got his attention was the necklace around her neck. It was a simple twine necklace with a single blue bead on it; symbolizing that she was unmarried.
"That necklace," He thought, "I gave that necklace to one person..."
~Flashback~
Ratonhake:ton looked at the product of his hard work under the moon light. He was thriteen years old and was now starting to take the form of a man, as the Clan Mother had told him. He was excited at the thought of him getting older because that meant he was getting stronger. However, he was also axcious at the thought at one of his best friends growing up.
Arkeekay:tah, the one chosen to become the next Clan Mother after his own mother and one of his closests friends, was announced the to the tribe fit for marrage. At first, he was happy that her destiny was comming into focus. However, on the announcement of her comming of age, he saw that she was distraught at the idea of being married at such a young age. She was going to be married to a man of another tribe, Queseton:kon. He was a stoic warrior who didn't smile, laugh, or even speak much for the first part. When he met Kita, she seemed afraid of his serious demenor. He didn't even smile at her. It made Connor sick on the inside.
He then knew that if she was to be married, then they could not be together anymore. They could not go hunting in the forest, they could not go swimming in the stream, and they could not sneak out at night and look at the stars like they would always do.
One night, during the nightly fires, Ratonhake:ton and Arkeekay:tah snuck out of the village gates to look at the stars like they always climbed up one of tallest trees in the forest together and gazed up at the wonderous sky.
"They are so beautiful tonight!" Arkeekay:tah sighed as she gazed at the celestial figures in the night sky. Ratonhake:ton studied how her face looked under the moons light. Her eyes, while a dull brown like most people in his tribe, had a certain twinkle whenever she experianced something simple like star gazing. He could see why Queseton:kon wanter her as a wife.
"Kita," Ratonhake:ton whispered, "I want to give you something, so close your eyes."
Kita did as she was told, and felt his fingers gliding gracefully on the back of her neck, and felt something hanging from it that wans't there before.
"Open your eyes."
As she opened them, she looked down at her neck to see a necklace made of black ribbon, and a blue bead in the middle of it. It was simple, and while it may seem like a silly trinket to other girls, it meant so much to her.
"Did you make this?" She asked.
"Yes," he replied, "Promise me you will always wear it...even when you are married, you must always wear it." He explained. She nodded, and leaned in to hug him close.
"Thank you," She said, "But...why did you make this? The blue bead means I am still a maiden, which will change soon."
Ratonhake:ton looked at the stars, and then back at her eyes.
"So no one will take you from me."
"Kita..." He remembered. When he left the village years ago, he hadnt seen her since. He remembered her always having a soft smile on her face, and had long brown hair platted in a braid that he loved so much for It reminded him of his mother. She was a very beautiful in the eyes of the village, and in the eyes of Connor. But she was meerly a child when he last saw was just a small child, she was even younger than he was by a woman standing before him now had grown. She was much curvier now than before.
" Her body has...changed..." Connor thought to himself. Before she was small and skinny, and had just started to develope. Now her hips were fuller and her breast had developed he relized his thoughts he quickly shook them out of him mind, "I must do something,...but I cannot cause attention to be to be drawn to me." He knew the only way for her to be safe was if he had taken her with him back to the homestead. The only way for him to get her to the homestead was to buy her.
"Look at her!She's a strong body, good for breeding healthy slaves." the auctioner shouted to the crowd. Connor watched as Kita's face twisted in disgust. He noticed that she fiddled with the chains in an attempt to get them off with no luck.
"Who wants to buy?!"
"I do!" Connor yelled from the crowd, attracking attention to him. He walked up to the stage and grabbed hold of the chains, "I will take this woman."
"Sold! To the native man!" The autioner said, accepting the money Connor had given him, "Be you'll have a good use for her, aye?" He whispered to him as he handed Connor the chains. Connor meerly just shook his head in dissaproval. He pulled the chains to make Kita start walking as they walked to the carrage. Achillies was sitting on the horse when he saw the two come into veiw.
"Connor, what the hell is this!? You bought a slave?!" He yelled. Connor helped Kita into the carrage and walked up to Achillies.
"She is a Mohawk and a friend. I bought her freedom." He explained. Achillies just rolled his eyes and told Connor to get inside. He climbed in the carrage to see KIta struggling with her chains again.
"Here, let me help you" He reached out towards her but she jerked away from him. She looked him in the eyes for the first time and didn't look away. He took his tomahawk and managed to cut the shakles off of her.
She rubbed her wrists and looked up at Connor, "Thank you, Ratonhake:ton."
Connor's eyes widened, "You remember who I am?" He asked. She nodded and smiled, moving so she was sitting next to him.
"Of course," she reached for her necklace, "How could I forget?" Connor blushed when he saw the necklace as he rembered how he gave it to her. He was surprised that she had actually kept it, or that Quenseton:kon didn't already give her an engagement necklace of his own.
"How did you get captured?" He asked.
"Well...I left the village so I could find you and-"
"You were looking for me?" He asked in shock. He suddenly felt bad for not being there to help her when she got captured. He couldn't imagine what she must have gone through or what they did to her while she was a slave.
"Did they do anything to you?" He asked, taking one of her hands into his. She shook her head frantically.
"No, I would not let them...but they tried." She chuckled and blushed a little, but stopped when she saw the pained look on Connor's face. Here was his best friend who had to fight just keep her purity, and all because she was looking for him. Kita shiffted in her seat and faced away from Connor. It was quiet for the entire ride to Davenport Homestead.
When they arrived, Connor helped Kita out of the carrage and led her to a guest room in the masion.
"You can stay here for the night," Connor said, "I'll take you back to Kanien'ka:hake tomarrow-"
"No! I will not go back!" Kita yelled, "I came here looking for you so I can help protect our people...so I can see my best friend again." She explained.
"Arkeekay:tah," Connor said sternly, "I cannot take care of you with my lifestyle now." He explained. Kita crossed her arms not budging.
"I can take care of myslef, Ratonhake:ton." she said defensivly. Connor sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He did not feel like arguing at all, especially not with Kita.
"You are only a 14 year old girl, how can you take care of yourslef!?" He asked raising his voice slightly.
"You were 14 when you left the village, and you are only 15 years old now!" She shouted back at him.
"Yes, but that is different, you are-"
"What? A woman?" She accused, "Since I was born, I was trained to become the next Clan Mother after Oya'ner. I have the skills and capabilities to protect myself on my own. I was taught by your own mother before her death, or have you forgoten that?" Kita steped closer to Connor, hoping to change his mind, but he stepped away.
"If you can take care of yourself, why did those men capture you? Why did they try to sell you? Why did they try to rape you, Kita?!" He shouted, grabbing her shoulders so she would look into his eyes, "You need to go back to the village Kita."
Kita's brown eyes began to water as she shook her head, "You have changed, Ratonhake:ton..." She walked away from him in tears, passing Achillies as he made his way to the guest room to see what was the matter.
"Were you always this terrible with girls, boy?" He chuckled as he made his way into the room. Connor groaned at the comment and paced back and forth around the room.
"It is not like that old man, she is a friend. I am just trying to protect her, but she is as stubborn as-"
"As you are? What's the matter Connor, don't like it when your game is played against you?" He teased. Connor huffed in frustration and turned away from the old man. He felt Achillie's walking stick poke him in the sides.
"You know, she doesn't have to a part of the brotherhood to help your people. You should talk to her about that." He tunred to walk away, "Oh, and one more thing." He said, "She is a pretty girl, perhaps you two could benifit from being around eachother."
Connor blushed and shook the words out of his mind.
Kita , now dressed in her old native clothes that she kept with her, was sitting next to the pond near Davenport Homestead as she braided her hair. When she finished she looked at her reflection in the pond. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, thinking of what she would tell the Clan Mother when she arrived back to the Village.
"You look just like you did when I left." She heard a deep voice say. She quickly opened her eyes to see Connor's refelction in the pond. Startled, she tunrred around to see him holding something behind his back.
"There is just one thing missing," He said, holding out two eagle feathers. He placed them on the left side of her ear, like she used to in the Village.
"Thank you..." She muttered, turning away from him, "I apologize Ratonhake:ton. I will go back to the village with you tomarow." She twirled the blue bead on her necklace in her fingers. Connor sighed, knowing that she was still hurt from what he had said earlier. He sat down next to her and got her attention.
"I am sorry." He said, "I will not make you go back to the Village." Kita gasped and smiled, "IF, only if you promise to not get so careless. This is a dangerous time and need to make sure you are well taken care of." He explained.
"I can stay!?" Kita squealed, "Oh thank you Ratonhake:ton! I promise I will be careful!" She hugged him tightly to the point where he couldn't breath very well. When she let go he looked at her seriously.
"There is something I must tell you about the life I live now." He took her hands into his and explained to her about the Brotherhood of Assassins and his targets. He also explained his father to her and how he had to stop the Templars and the redcoats in order for his people to be free.
"So now you see why you must be careful? Why it will be difficult for me to take care of you with my new lifestyle?" He explained.
Kita smirked, "I think you should be more concerned about taking care of yourself, Connor." she said teasingly. Connor chuckled at the sound of his new name, but it was quickly interuppeted when he felt Kita's foot pushing him into the pond underneath him
"KITA!" He shouted, spitting out water. Kita giggled and pointed at duck that was perched on his head. He took the duck off his head and started chasing after her, screaming how he was going to get her. She ran and ran, still laughing until he tackled her to the grown just like he did when they were kids.
The two of them tumbled down a hill until Kita landed saftley on top of Connor with one of his arms wrapped around her waist. Connor laughed more now than he had in awhile, but stopped when he saw how close thier faces were to eachother. The sun was starting to set and the light made her face glow in it's likeness. Kita just continued to laugh, which made Connor smile to himself.
Achilles chuckled as he watched the two play in the setting sun, "It's about time he had someone to make him happy." He thought to himself.
