CHAPTER 1
The girl turned on her left side and sighted in her sleep. The four hooded men looked at her ,wondering who she was ,and how they got there .One of them knew the others ,but they did not know him .They were surprised when he called them by their names when ,they woke half an hour ago in the small liveingroom .He did not introduce himself though ,so they did not know what his name was . They walked around searching for something that would tell them why they woke up in an unknown place .They were in the corridor ,when they heard a moan ,so they went into the nearest room to investigate ,that's when they found the girl .
''I wonder who she is ''said one of them .He was a darker shade than the others ,though he did look exactly like them .The same scar on his lips ,the same nose ,everything ,except for his skin colour . The one who seemed to know them answered ''Don't know pal ,but I hope she'll tell us when shes awake ''.The others nodded in agreement . They needed answers.
She turned again ,this time she opened her eyes sleepily and stretched yawning loudly . A loud bang made her jump out of bed in one sleek movement ,turning to see what made the sound .
The four who tried to get out of the room froze,one of them kicked something on accident and it hit the door of the girl stared at them stunned for the moment .They stared back.
They looked like ghost in the light of the streetlamp that shown through the window .The girl reached for the lightswitch that was near enough so she could reach it when she woke up in the morning . Light filled the room ,she could see them clearly now .All four was clad in white ,though the clothes did not look the same ,one had a white hoody on and wore jeans ,the others 's clothes looked like long cloackes though it was'nt .Two had red sashes around their middels ,one of the two had a cape on his one shoulder ,like a flag that hang limp on a flag pole .The last ones clothes was a mix between American native ,aspecialy his mocasins ,and clothes that people wore in the 18 th century . All of them were armed to the teeth .
Recognition dawned on her ,and with this knowledge fear. She opened her mouth to scream . One of them moved ,the one without the cape .He was there before she could make a sound ,clamping a hand over her mouth ,and pushing her against the wall with his other . She stared up in his eyes with fear .She tried to think ,how to get rid of the hand on her mouth ,and the man away from her .Her eyes darted away to the door ,between her and that stood the other three ,now glaring at her as if she was their enemy . The one with the hoody step away from the others and walk slowly to her and the one holding her . ''Wrong move ,girl , wrong move '' he says coming to stand next to them . With fear in her eyes she look from the one who holds her to him now blocking her emediate escape root ,if she could just get away from these two she could try and get past the other two .
''Don 't even think about it '' the man in the hoody says as if he knows what shes thinking ,wich in her opinion he does . '' We only need answers ,and you're the lucky girl who wins the jackpot of questions ,''he adds . His voice are so familiar to her , one she heard everytime she played with her xbox360 console .Closing her eyes ,she tried to think about why and how they could be there when ,they clearly shouldn't be there . ''Okey , Altair here is going to take his hand of your mouth ,and your going to tell us who you are and where the hell are we .And if you try to scream I swear you'll regret it '' ,stepping back a little he nods to the man holding her .Altair slowly takes his hand away from her mouth ,but keeps her against the wall . She takes a deep breath ,realising that she was slowly being suffocated even though her nose was open . ''Hey ,clock is ticking '', the man in the hoody reminds her, snapping his fingers to attract her attention. Staring hypnoticed at the snapping fingers, she forgets what he said .With a sight the man in the hoody glares at her ''Aw fuck ,''he exclaims angrily . ''Are you dumb or what? Answer our questions ,it isn't even that hard .'' The girl locking eyes with the one holding her says pleadingly in a small voice '' Please let me go '' .Shaking his head he keeps her in place . ''Look we don't wana hurt you,but if you don't answer us we will have to ,now answer us and we will let you go ,but only if you don't start screaming ,''the man in the hoody drawls ,without a hint of friendliness in his tone .
Voice trembling she finaly decides to say something else than just asking to be let go. ''My name is Carli ,and you are in my home .Meaning , Appelshoff South Africa ,meaning your not real ,maybe your just a figment of my imagination ''.Swallowing hard she tries to get the hands holding her ,away from her ,to no avail though ,since the man didn't even loose his grip on himself .As unmoving as ever ,the one in the hoody askes '' What do you mean ? ,when you say that ?, you know I can assure ,we are real ,if we weren't Altair could not possibly hold you against a wall ''
''If you want to know the answer ,you will have to let me go so I can show you why ,your not suppose to be here'' , she states calmly. She try again to get out of the mans grip ,but still he wont budge .Staring at her suspicion in clearly written on his face Mr Hoody shakes his head . '' No good trying to get out of this Carli ''he says ever so softly .With a sight Carli nods ''Fine ''she says grudgingly ''But don't say I didn't tell you ,anyways in my livingroom next to the game console theres a box bring it here .Do you know what a game console is ?''Mr Hoody nods ''Good now go get it if you need evidence .''Turning her head away she look everywhere ,but at them.
Waiting for him to return seemed like a good idea though,before said another word .It didn't take long,he was back before she could say KNIFE .The box was just a plastic container ,that held her games . '' You can open it if you like '',she sounded as if she was in pain ,though she didn't want to show it .Mr Hoody shrugged and opened the container on the bed .The other came nearer ,so they could see too .Altair looked from where he held her .Her back was sore and cold ,but she didn't want to complain . She kept her eyes on her game container too,just to make sure they didn't break anything .
Mr Hoody started to go through the contents until he suddenly froze ,in his hands he held two of her five copies of assasins creed games .Staring at it horror stricken he slowly turn his eyes to her .Eyeing her warily he ask ''What is this ?''. Carli just stare back and say ''You can read can't you'' with that said she turns her head away . ''It says Assasins creed 2 ,and the other one says Assasinscreed no one or three or whatever ,is this it then huh ? ,your evidence ?,''Carli just nods ,and with that she slumps forward unconscious.
''Maybe we should just leave her and go '' says Connor to the others '' I mean she didn't lie to us look at those games '' Desmond , Ezio and Altair shake their heads '' Where will we go? ,''Desmond asks as he look at the girl on the bed .She was sleeping peacefully now ,not unconscious anymore .She didn't wake though ,it worried Altair ,who believed that he was to blame because of the way he treated her . ''We need help '',Ezio says causing the others to look at him . '' She can help us '' ,he simply states . a Groan from the bed make them jump . ''Aw no why couldn't it just be a dream '',they hear her say .
Rubbing her back Carli stare at them with wary eyes, scared that they would capture her again .They just stare back ,without any smiles ,though Ezio's face seems to be a little bid friendlier than the others. ''Ugh ! why couldn't you just disappear '' ,she groans ,closing her eyes and opening it to see if they disappeared ,but they didn't and that scares her the most right now. ''Sorry to disappoint you'',Desmond says half apologetically . Carli just put her feet on the floor ,and stands up. Not bothering to look at them again she stomps of out of the room .
''We should follow her,'' Connor quietly states ,starting to do just that. The others follow suite ,without even thinking about it. Ignoring the multiplie sounds of footsteps behind her Carli walks into her kitchen .Its small but good enough for her ,though right now she feels like a sardine in a tin with all these big male bodies around. Still ignoring them she walks to the kettle ,to see if there is water in .With a sight she grabs a jug ,standing next to the kettle and go tap water from the tap above the sink .After that she fills the kettle and switches it on . '' If your gonna be here you may as well help,''she says turning to Desmond whos nearest .Pointing to the cuboard above the sink she says '' Get the mugs will you ,I'll make us something to drink ,though I only have Milo and Hotchocolate .'' Without a word Desmond obeys .Putting down the mugs near the kettle he asks '' So how exactly did we get here ?''.Carli trying to avoid their stares answers as truthfully as she can ''I don't know maybe it was a glitch of some sort ,see I was playing assasins creed brotherhood earlier this evening and there was nothing off of it .Quite frankly it was just a normal playtime ,though assasins creed 3 has a couple of glitches like lets say Achillus would stand there next to that stuffed eagle and in the chair near him there would be a copy of him asleep and ofcourse if you turn around you'd see him walking down the hall with a bucket in his hand .Too creepy scared me when I first saw that .'' Mouths gaping all four stare at her dumbstruck ,even Connor who didn't think she knew Achillis .
Silently she makes the Milo ,and hand everyone a mug. which they down thirstily and liked the strange taste ,then she walks out followed by them to her living room .There she switches on the TV ,everyone but Desmond gasps as the weird device comes to life she switches on her game console ,leaving after that for a minute to go get her games container .Putting in a game and closing the drive before sitting down next to a stunned Ezio ,she waits for the games opening .Its a tipical game about dragons and mages and also warriors .She starts playing without a glance to the man next to her or the others .It went on for an hour ,the four were slowly getting irritated at the game,at the girl who held the control,the way she was deliberately ignoring them. It was like they weren't even there .Desmond was just about to scream when the game suddenly froze . Standing up and stomping her foot Carli yells ''Stupid malfunctioning game ! I just had that dragon ,now I'm going to have to do it again,and I hate replaying a mission it sucks'',throwing down the controller on the couch where she previously sat ,she walks of to her room. After a moment of silence Ezio gets to his feet ''I'll go talk to her '',he says walking away ,the others don't say anything , they just hope he can sweettalk her into helping ,Desmond knows they should find a way to get back to where they are if Ezio's lover boy tactics could help he'd be grateful.
Ezio never reached her room,period because of a white bright light blinding him and engulfing the whole corridor . He could hear Desmond swear even though he still didn't know Desmonds name . He knew that voice then like as if it was his own, he was knocked out he blacked out,last thing he heard was a girl screaming.
They were in a strange place when they opened their eyes . Snow fell constantly and they wondered about the weird landscape of rocks and trees .Altair found the girl lying near them. Desmond looked for a pulse and found that she was unconscious . They decided to look around a bit ,just to get the lay of the land so to speak . Connor was the one that picked the girl up and carried her with them . They didn't go far when they were attacked by strange soldiers that reminded Desmond of the Roman Empire . They fought bravely but for some strange reason they were weaponless and so they had to give up . Their hands were tied and they were thrown on a wagon with other oddly dressed men ,one of them were even gagged for some reason . Altair was furious but didn't struggle ,because Desmond said that they couldn't while they still had the girl to protect . They didn't talk much and they hated the cold that seemed to seep into them like water would into a sponge . Connor was nearest to the girl and kept an eye on her. He even tried to give some of his body heat to her though he didn't like to be touched really ,in fact he hated other peoples hands on him . Ezio stared at the gagged man and wondered what he had done to be gagged while others weren't . He hoped to find out soon . Desmond was trying to figure out how they had gotten there and what place it was . He looked around at everything and everyone hoping to find the answer there . The four knew that they were now completely lost and hoped to find a way to get back to their own world soon . They didn't like it there and wondered who the people was .
The sound of hoofs woke her ,the feel of wood against her cheek made her wonder where she was .She tried to sit up but she found that difficult ,because her hands was bound before her .a Hand awkwardly tried to help her .She turned her head to find herself staring at Connor ,whos hands was bound just like hers . She could see Altair next to him staring at her worriedly . ''Is she really awake '',she heard Desmond ask Connor nodded .Relief sights could be heard behind her .She tried to turn her head that way, it made her neck hurt .Once again Connor was there helping her ,and what she saw made her gasp .She saw that they were on a wagon full of other men .She knew instantly who three of them was . '' Oh no no no no we are in freaken Skyrim'', she groans ,drawing odd looks from everyone including the guard riding on a horse behind the wagon.
''What the hell are you meaning ?'',Desmond growls .Carli don't answer just look frantically around for some escape ,then her eyes fall on her clothes wich is her over sized white Tshirt and boxer shorts she loved so much. ''Aw gee thanks to who ever send me here in my Pyjamas '',she mutters .a Soft laugh makes her turn to see Ezio try to stifle another laugh. ''I saw that Ezio Auditore Da Ferenze '', she says trying to sound angry .This makes Ezio laugh more openly . ''Quite back there!'' bellows the guard driving the wagon,with a sight Carli and Ezio obliges .Thats when they hear one of the men a blond ask something to the brunette next to him .They can't here what he says ,but catches the last words though '' I'm from Rorikstead ''.That scares Carli though as she realises whats gonna happen next . She turn to Desmond and says urgently '' Whatever you do don't try anything Ok ?''.Frowning Desmond asks ''Why?''. ''Trust me '', is all answer he gets ,at that moment the wagon starts slowing down and the brunette asks the blond ''Why are we stopping ''. ''What do you think horse thief end of the line'',the blond answers . The horse thief start praying to whatever God of his would listen .The wagon goes through a gate with a walkway on top for gaurds . ''General Tulius the headsman is waiting '',someone calls .Somewhere else from a house a man tells his son to go inside ,unwillingly the boy obeys .
The four assassins look around wondering where they are now and what was going to happen . They didn't like the look of things when the wagon rode into a sort of court yard or square . They saw people standing there and one had an axe so they knew who was the headsman . They were thinking then ,trying to find a way to escape ,they really weren't going to just lie down and let their heads be chopped off for some reason . And they planned on taking the girl with them ,they needed her .
The wagon comes to a complete halt ,and they are told to get down ,struggling a bit Carli follows Connor and a man who's face are half hidden by a rag .Carli knows why though ,she'd have done the same if she was the gaurds .Lining up before a man with a list they come to a standstill,just as a woman in armor says ''When your name is called go stand at the headsman ''.Shivering, Carli makes a point to huddle closer to Connor, seeing that he puts his arms awkwardly around her by sliding them over her head, around her neck down to her waist. That brings her tight against him . a Yell from one of the prisoners makes Carli scream ''Lokir no! ''.Shes to late ,he gets shot down by arrows. '' Anyone else wants to make a break for it '',asks the woman in armor ,nobody does .a Growl from Connor makes Carli look up . '' Do not do anything ,trust me '',she warns .The other three standing near them hears that ,and nods ,they have no reason not to trust her.a Man in rags are called forward by the guard holding the list .Carli ducks down and free herself from Connors arms ,but stays near .The prisoner answers ''Arren Stormrider ''.Carli whispers softly ''The Dragonborn ''.Only her four assassin friends hear that,but they don't ask her about it.
They stood waiting for their turns to tell the man with the list who they were ,thinking of what they heard Carli say ,their eyes following a man with shoulder length fair hair that looked so dirty and oily that they actually wanted to gag . They wondered what she meant by that .They wondered about the word Dragonborn.
Carli was first in line ,she stepped nervously infront of the man with the wondered what race she would be considered ,since she was of mixed blood ,counting Arabic blood in that mix .She looked more Indian though ,not native American but the sort from India though her skin was a bit lighter . ''My name is Carli '',she said trying to sound calm and man with the list just nodded and asked the next person to come forward which was Ezio ,she waited and hoped that she was right and that they were'nt seriously going to loose their heads .She watched the sky hoping that the dragon she was waiting for would come soon .She was realy scared now .a Roar made everyone jump ,someone asked what it was ,and Carli wanted to laugh even though it was'nt funny .
They finally gets to stand near the headsman ,and watch as an arrogant readheads head gets chopped of .Not wanting to see this Carli turns her head away to find her assasin friends standing behind her .Desmond akwardly pulls her against him so that she can't see,and Ezio puts his fingers in her ears so that see don't hear the thud of the axe .Its a while before they let go .That's when the man in rags or as they now know Arren Stormrider gets push down to the block.
'' We need to get away soon '',Altair says careful to not let anybody but his friends hear him,his voice anxious ,but before anything can get worse ,a big black beast lands on the building behind the headsman .They get thrown back by some kind of force that comes out of the beasts mouth .Without thinking on it to much Carli runs forward and helps Arren to his feet . '' We gotta go now '',she yells at the four assassins and starts pulling Arren to one of the buildings,they follow her without even bothering to look back .
They are just in time to hear one of the men ,Ulfric Stormcloak , say that legends don't burn down building .Another man called Ralof motions for them to follow him and Ulfric up a flight of stairs . ''Watch out !'',Carli yells just before the big black beast breaks through the wall spewing flames .For a moment everyone just stare at her speechless ,how did she know the dragon was going to do that ? . Trembling Carli tries to go down the stairs again but Ulfric pushes her forward to the hole where Ralof now stands .'' All of you see that inn over there? jump ! the Jarl and i will follow when we can''. Seeing Arren try to protest Ezio just grabs him and jump, while Altair grabs a screaming Carli .
After that its just a matter of jumping to the ground from the inn to get away. Running fast as just assassins can,the four holding on to the two none assassins they run into the guy who had the list .''Still alive prisoners ? If you want to stay that way you should stay close to me '' ,he calls .They decide to follow that advice for the time being ,until they could get away from this chaotic place .
On their way to the keep they run into Ralof again ,and without thinking it through Carli grabs hold of him yelling ''It doesn't matter who's the bad guy here right now lets just get out of here! ''.Inside they let Ralof and Hadvar cut their bonds ,and the most weirdest thing happens, weapons appears on the assassins bodies .Blinking Carli just stares .
''How did you get your weapons? '',Carli asks as they run through the keep fighting anyone in their way. They don't answer though and it makes her feel like she could make like a turtle and hide. They even keep her in the middle to make sure she don't get hurt .Eyeing them curiously the others just let them do what they want ,without complaining ,it could be that they never saw four guys that can fight like these four . Its late afternoon when they finally gets out after fighting giant spiders ,which the four assassins did not expect feeling quite out of place when they saw the things eyes that made them feel grossed out and sneaking past a sleeping bear which Connor wanted to kill but was stopped by Carli that really wanted to get out and not being chased by an ugly bear who did them no harm as it slept . ''We go to Riverwood '',Hadvar says ''It may be best if we split up ''. ''Probably ,''Ralof agrees turning then to the six others '' I have a sister in Riverwood she may help and ofcourse Hadvar here has an Uncle he may help too I will go with you and Hadvar will go without us to tell my sister i'm on my way ,it may have been better for us to split up too but i have changed my mind ''.With these words said they resume walking .
Arren Stormrider falls in step next to Carli and ask ''Who are you people I didn't ask before because we were buzy fighting to get out ''.'' We are just very lost people'',Altair answers not wanting to trust someone that easely. Arren nods thoughtfully ''What race are you? I'd say your Imperials but that won't fit this girl ,shes as short as a Breton I think but she don't look like one . ''Ezio answers this one '' We are from far away ''. Arren don't comment on this though his still curious about the four men and the girl they protects . They keep moving after this following Ralof who seems to be in a hurry .They get to rest at the gaurdian stones which Arren and Ralof touches telling them about the blessings .Not trusting the stones right now they pass .
They reach Riverwood after sundown ,and get a place to sleep in Gerdur Ralofs sisters house .In the morning they'll leave for Whiterun as a favour to Gerdur .Carli keeps herself near her four assasin friends ,which they do'nt mind because they believe that they should stick together .They make their beds near eachother ,and don't mind when Arren makes his near them,they just make sure Carlis bed is in the middle to keep Arren away from her,Arren sees this and wonder why they would go to such lengths to keep the girl safe ,he remembers the way they made sure she did not hear or see the redhead stormcloak get exscuted .
Wedged between Altair and Connor ,Carli falls asleep feeling safe and warm .She don't dream though ,she wish she could ,even if its just a nice old soppy dream .Those she hates . Morning comes quickly though ,its very early when they hit the road . Hoping that nothing goes wrong, Carli fall into step next to Desmond .
