Evie sat at her desk, wondering what would be the best strategy to go about things. She thought long and hard into the night, giving everything a good going over. Henry had told her to meet with him in the morning, but she just couldn't wait that long. She got up to pace back and forth until Jacob shouted down to her.

"Evie"

She stopped and looked over to see her twin glaring at her, his blanket in hand, with his top half bare.

"What?" She scowled back.

"I can hear you pacing!" He complained before turning back to head off to sleep.

Evie grumbled and sat herself down on the bed, knowing if she was to head out to the Kenway manor tomorrow, she would have to be fit and well rested. She then decided to kick off her boots and climb into bed, not bothering to change, morning wasn't far off as it was.

XxXxXxX

Jacob awoke just after sun rise and yawned. He stretched before finally pulling himself off his sofa. He'd not heard Evie and so decided to have a little look to see her car still dimly lit.

"What's with her? She's usually up with the sun," he thought as he made his way over.

She was definitely still in bed, the covers pulled up over her face. He smirked as the urge to wake her noisily came to mind.

He shook his head, "I'd probably end up with a broken nose."

So in the end he decided on giving her a little shake, which still resulted in the same outcome.

"Evie," he scowled, quickly bringing a hand to his nose.

"What?" She asked groggily.

"Well, what!" He grumbled.

She pushed him aside and clambered out of bed, her boots still in the same place as she'd left them, ready to be pulled on.

"No need to thank me," her twin scowled as he watched her grab her coat to then jump off the train.

Evie went about her day with a clear head, quickly meeting up with Henry as planned, they then made their way to the Kenway manor only to find Lucy Thorne had wasted no time in taking the place for herself. They watched as she climbed from her carriage, barked orders to the Blighters and headed inside.

"Do you still wish to go ahead?" Henry asked.

Evie looked on with a smile, "Don't worry, we'll stay well away from Miss Lucy."

Henry had accepted this and was willing to do whatever Evie had planned. Seen as she didn't want Henry getting too involved, she had sent him around the side to check for Blighters, while she headed on inside.

The place welcomed her with a wealth of things ranging from the pirates time, from artefacts to all his gear. However, this was not the time for tourism. She needed to find the Shroud. As soon as she had made her way over to a locked room, she gestured to Henry to follow her in. His eyes fell straight on the piano, just as Evie stroked her fingers over the keys.

"Do you play?" He asked.

She smiled at him, "I did when I was a young girl. My grandmother had taught me how to be a proper young lady."

Henry smiled at this before nodding his head at the piano, "I would love to hear you play sometime."

Evie having nothing more to do with the piano turned away to search the room for any clues.

"What are we not seeing?" Henry thought aloud.

Evie concentrated for the moment, letting her second sight take over to see a message on the wall.

"Got it," she smiled, now turning back to the piano.

She played the notes, with Henry now looking on, wondering what she had found. Evie turned as a small entranceway opened up in the floor.

"After you," Henry gestured, but Evie being polite, let him go first.

She followed him on and looked about the place, as did Henry.

"That must be from the Jackdaw," he thought with excitement.

Evie wasn't at all interested in anything else, just a piece of parchment that was being held down by some sort of coin. She picked it up and flipped over to get a good look at it, finding some sort of wording engraved on it.

'Do ye dare touch this? Then ye shall see the true way of….' She rubbed her thumb over the bottom in hopes of the rest showing up, which then magically appeared in front of her. '…yer life!' She finished.

Henry walked over, but stopped suddenly upon hearing a familiar voice. Evie was already over by the steps looking up.

"You say you heard music?" The Templar was heard saying, her gaze then falling on the hole in the floor. "There was no opening there before."

Henry quickly ran over and pulled a lever, the door quickly closing up on them, blocking both the Templars and Assassins.

"It's closing!" Another woman was now heard.

"Yes, I can see that!" Lucy answered, clearly annoyed.

Evie was now also quite angered, but turned to look at the ships wheel on the wall. She took hold and began to turn it, watching as the wall parted ways allowing them an exit. They quickly ran through the sewers, climbing up and out onto the streets again.

"Don't worry, Miss Frye, maybe later?" Henry shrugged.

Evie sighed, wishing she could be as carefree as he was, but sadly no. She made her way back to the train in a huff, with Henry making his way back to the curio shop. She slumped down at her desk and covered her face with her hands, sighing loudly. She then sat back, pulled the coin from her coat to give it another looking over before slamming it down on the desk.

"Damn it!" She snapped. "All that knowledge gone to waste."

"What happened?" Jacob asked with a cocky grin as he now stood behind her. "Greenie, deny you a trip out?"

"Shut up, Jacob!" She snapped, quickly turning with lightning speed to throw a book at him.

He dodged it with ease, thought it still angered him.

"Calm yourself, will you!" He scowled. "Bloody hell, what's gotten into you?"

"Nothing," she lied.

"It's Greenie, isn't it?" He scowled. "I'll beat the..."

"Jacob," she called, giving a warning snarl.

"I'll not let him hurt you," he went on.

"Will you shut up for once," she snapped.

Jacob huffed and was just about to head back to his own car, when Evie apologised for her attitude.

"I'll found quite a lot of information at the Kenway manor, but..." She sighed.

"Templars?" He asked, knowing full well.

Evie nodded, "The only thing I managed to come away with was this."

"What is it?" He questioned as he caught the coin Evie tossed to him.

He brought the artefact close to his face to read the wording, "Do….yee dare…touch this?" He started, turning the coin to try and get a better look. "Then yee shall see the…true way of…" He stopped, upon noticing there was no more, "True way of what?"

Evie looked up at him, "There's more at the bottom. I had to give it a rub."

Jacob looked back to the coin and gave it a rub. He was quite surprised when the words shone clearly now.

"Your life?"

Evie looked over to the doorway, her thoughts clearly elsewhere.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Jacob asked as he flicked the coin back to her.

She turned back to him, her reflexes on high alert as she caught the coin with ease in her left hand. She then gave it a good looking over again.

"Probably something Kenway thought of?" She shrugged.

Her twin shrugged before yawning, "Well then, I think I'll call it a night."

Evie brought up a hand to cover her mouth as she too yawned unexpectedly.

"You'd better get some sleep as well," he warned her before heading to his own car.

Evie bent down to pull off her boots, but just couldn't be bothered, instead she decided to lie down and get some sleep fully clothed once again.

XxXxXxX

Come the following morning, Jacob stirred, awoken by the sound of birds. He furrowed his brows, wondering why birds would be the first thing to wake him. He groaned and stretched out, feeling as though he'd fallen off the softness of his sofa and onto the hard floor. It didn't occur to him that the floor felt soft and warm. He turned onto his side, finding something quite gritty resting against his cheek. He quickly opened his eyes and found himself lying on sand. Quickly pulling himself up he looked about the area, seeing nothing but a sea of blue.

"Did I get drunk again?" He thought, now willing himself to remember. No, the last thing that came back to him was looking over a strange coin with Evie, but why was he out here and more importantly where was here?

He pulled himself to his feet and looked around. There was nothing but sand, trees and an endless sea of blue. He turned upon hearing a groan coming from the back of him, spinning round quickly, his hidden blade at the ready just in case, but was surprised to see that it was just Evie.

"Evie," he shouted, getting a glare in return. "You're not going to believe this, but we're surrounded by water."

"What are you talking about?" She asked as she got to her feet.

"Just look."

She did just that and was just as shocked as he was, "Where are we, Jacob?!"

"How am I supposed to know?" He asked, while shrugging.

"How did we get here?" She questioned.

"No clue, I woke up and here I was."

"We're at sea?"

Jacob looked around and nodded.

"It does look a lot like that."

"What did you do, Jacob?"

"Calm yourself, dear sister. I haven't done anything."

"This is some stupid idea of yours again."

"Oh yeah, I do some pretty stupid things in my sleep."

"I want this sorting now, Jacob."

"Yeah, right on that. Let me just go get us a carriage, shall I?" He asked, getting a death glare in return.

"You get me back to dry land now or so help me, Jacob."

"How many more times do I have to say it, I haven't done anything."

"Then how did we get here?"

He shook his head at this.

"You put the Rooks up to this didn't you?"

"Why would I do something to put us both in this mess?"

"I don't know what goes through that thick skull of yours."

"I'm not stupid, Evie."

"No, but look at what you've done."

Jacob threw up his hands, clearly annoyed now.

"Have it your way," he warned her as he turned to walk off.

"Jacob, don't you dare walk away from me."

"Watch me."

"Jacob."

He ignored her and sat himself down on the opposite side of the island. Evie stood looking out at the sea, a slight feeling of dread washing over her. What if they were stranded there for who knows how long? She decided to bite the bullet and apologise before they both ended up dead.
