William stumbled through the doorway,"It's done," he panted.
"Good Good," Fernando said.
Will noticed a slight doubt in his voice. "Why do you sound surprised?" he asked, slightly blustered.
"It was a hard task," fernando said, "I expected your comrade to come back carrying your dead body."
"ah yes, she was a great help. I could not have done it without her." Will said remembering the many times Elizabeth had saved his life.
"Now, tell me every detail of what happened." Fernando demanded.
"No problem." Will said.
**FLASHBACK NOISES**
William pulled on his hooded assassins jacket,his plated armor set, strapped on his belt and hidden blades, and set off to see if Elizabeth was ready to hit the rooftops of venice. when he got to the rendezvous she was already waiting for him pretending to sleep.
"Where have you been!" Elizabeth scolded.
"What do you mean! Im early!' He replied angrily.
"Ha, assassins always have to be early. seems like i beat you by a few minutes." She said, "well, enough chat. lets get going, we've got a royal snot to assassinate.
William P.O.V
I turned to stare at Elizabeth for at least the hundredth time since we hit the rooftops.
"What?" She asked. "Why are you staring at me?"
"Oh sorry I... was... just... um... I... forgot." I replied awkwardly.
"Well hurry up. that noble isnt gonna kill himself." Elizabeth said. "By the way call me Liz, it's faster to say if were in danger."
"No problem." I replied.
No one spoke the rest of the way to the market where the noble was out "getting the groceries"
When we got there the noble was quickly spotted. He was wearing a bright red robe and a golden crown, like the iconic king or queen, but there was something different about him. he had an extremely large battle axe slung across his back.
"What the hell?" Liz wondered out loud.
"I have no idea" I said, "I guess we just have to avoid frontal combat with him. we'll need to take him down before he notices, or we'll be in big trouble."
"Damn!" Liz exclaimed, "That'll make things complicated."
"Yeah" i agreed."well lets get to it!"
The noble sauntered into a small courtyard.
"Thats our signal." I whispered.
We stalked around the rooftop above him. Then suddenly he slung off his axe. Liz yelped slightly. We thought we were doomed, then he propped the axe against a wall and slumped down onto a bench. Me and liz both sighed.
"That was close." Liz said.
We both crouched a little lower to avoid his view.
"I'll do it." I volunteered.
"Sure." Liz said.
I slunk over the rooftops to the one directly in front of him. I launched myself at him and brought my hidden blades down on either side of his neck. Blood spurted from his wounds.
"WILL!" Liz screamed.
I turned to see at least 20 guards closing off the exits.
"Merda." (Shit in italian.) I muttered.
"you're not going anywhere!" One of the guards yelled. "Your comin with us!"
William P.O.V_
the guards locked me in a prison cell in the guard tower.
"The chief will come soon to interrogate you."
'Of course, Interrogation, great' I thought.
i waited for a few hours for the chief to come and when he finally did come, he was carrying a bag of scalpels. I shivered at the thought of my dead body, its hands bound to the wall, its legs dangling lifelessly, its neck stuck with scalpels, blood pouring from the wounds, all of the assassin's secrets gone.
"Now you will tell me everything you know or you will be stuck full of scalpels!" The chief screamed.
"I'm not deaf." I muttered defiantly.
"What was that!" The chief screamed
"Nothing." I replied in the same voice.
"Thats earned you a scalpel!" He screamed.
I braced for the pain as the first one started to come toward my arm.
**CLANG**
There was no pain. All I heard was a sharp intake of breath and the sound of blood splattering the floor. It was not my blood. It was the chief's.
"jeez, don't just sit there with that stupid look on your face, get up!" I knew that voice from somewhere!
I opened my eyes to see Liz standing there with a bloody dagger and the chiefs head!
"Oh gods, How did you get in here?!" I asked, bewildered.
"It was easy i just climbed through a window." She replied, obviously proud of what she did.
"Gods your amazing." i muttered.
