Arcana Famiglia The Past Returnes

Chapter ONE: Nicolas Heart

Nova was sitting at his desk like normal going over some paperwork. As he was about to put his papers away an older man came strolling in and sat in the chair in front of him. He was much older then himself greying red hair with fierce brown eyes. A scar over his right eye and a cane were the only signs of any weakness he may posses.

"Nova." He stated with a grunt.
"Master, what are you doing here?" Nova asked from his seat.
"I've come to see how your parents have been doing when to my surprise no one lives at your house any more. Care to enlighten me boy?" there was no room disagreement.
"I don't think there is anything you need to know this is my problem." "Nova; I have known you since you were a child I know when your hiding something and I also know how to cure you of your insolence. Now let's try this again shall we? What has happened in my absence?"
"Mother and Father wanted me to kill Mama and Papa I panicked lost control and put them into an eternal sleep. I don't know how to get them out of it."
"Don't know or wont?" he asked again.

Nova looked out the window and refused to answer the truth was he didn't want to release them. Mama and Papa were safe with them asleep and truth be told he didn't think his parents would care for him knowing he would never do as they ask. The man who sat in front of him was no fool lying was useless. His temper was one that could never be won against he always got what he wanted the past they shared proved this.

"Again Nova what is your answer?" He asked again with more volume and might in his voice.
"I don't want them to wake up. I have my reasons." Nova replied.
"How dare you, to your parents no less. Your parents should be ashamed of you. You have no respect at all; all my training has gone out the window. Why did I bother taking you in all those years on your parents behalf to help?"
"I haven't forgotten your training; I just happen to have my own mind and beliefs now." Nova shouted standing up with a slam to his desk.
"You have let your emotions rule you, you dare to raise your voice against your master?" He asked with deadly calm.

"Nova? Who is this and whats going on? We could hear your shouting from down the hall." Liberta asked from the open door with Felicita, Debito and Pace stood next to him.
"This is my master he thought me as a child. Master this is Liberta, Felicita, Debito and Pace. Guys this is my master, Master Nicolas Heart."
"The Nicolas Heart, Master assassin?" Debito asks with astonishment.
"Yes I am nice to meet you. I came to check up on a pupil and come to find hes changed and not for the better. I'll have to take him back with me to upgrade his training." Nicolas replied.

Nova looked down at his desk and swallowed his fear. "I won't be going any where with you. I'm old enough to know what's best for myself and you are not what I had in mind. You trained me as a child and that's enough."
"I wasn't giving you a choice Nova. Would you really have me beg?" Nicolas looked Nova in the eye.

Nova knew better Nicolas never begged for anything, he wore you down till you had no strength left and made you watch as he took what he wanted. Nicolas stood up with the help of his cane and walked to stand beside Nova at his desk.

"You know how this will end Nova. But I see you must again learn the hard way. I shall return in two days time. Be prepared this is your only warning." Nicolas did nothing but leave a slightly shaking Nova behind him.

"Did he really train you Nova?" Debito asked.
"Yes he did."
"Whats Nicolas like?" Felicita inquired.
"Before I met your father I was searching for him to train me. I was never able to get to him but the people I came across all had a couple comments in common. They said he was a great assassin, while his training was harsh and cruel almost abusive. But they all knew what the were getting into." Debito replied at Nova's silence.
"He'll be back in two days and it'll be when I don't expect it. You have no idea what his training is like there is no way on earth anyone can just forget it. I need to prove to him I haven't forgotten.' Nova replied and headed towards the door 'Time to do some rounds."
