DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN THE ASSASSIN'S CREED SERIES. The Brotherhood in this story belongs to me though.

Chapter 1

"Agh, mi desincronizzat o ni nuovo!" a black and blonde haired teenage girl yelled angrily at the TV screen in Italian.

"Oh, c'mon, sister, that's the seventh time you've died today! What's up with you?" the red haired girl sitting next to her questioned, sipping a can of Sierra Mist.

"That was totally not my fault, Criss! Those stupid guards won't let me get my damn Codex Page!" she griped in anger, pausing the game.

"You're not supposed to battle them first, remember? You gotta barge past them, get the Codex Page, and then kill them!" Criss retorted, setting down her soda can and snatching the white controller from her best friend's hands.

"I can do it! Give that back! Dare quel indietro!" she whined, trying to snatch back the controller, but to no avail.

"I'm gonna do this part for you whether you like it or not, Ell! Capito?" the Irish girl said sternly, keeping the object out of Ellena's reach.

Grumbling, Ellena slumped into her bean bag chair in defeat, and nodded slightly. As Criss played the game for her, her eyes wandered off to the left where a large rectangular window was precariously placed, and noticed the dark clouds that were approaching. Another storm was coming.

"Hey Criss, there's a storm heading this way," the ebony haired girl warned her friend.

"Don't worry about it Ell! It's not like it's gonna cause another blackout, guisto?" Criss waved away her warning, focusing on the game.

"By the looks of it, I think it might. I should tell the rest of the Brotherhood about it."

Ellena pulled out her phone, beginning to text the rest of the group about the situation.

"Non hai bisogno di, sorella! Nulla succederà al sistema." Criss was too caught up in the game to even look at her friend's worried expression.

"Non si sa mai…" Ellena grumbled to herself, staring back out the window again.

Just then, a loud thunderclap erupted from the darkening sky, startling both of the girls. Ellena decided enough was enough.

"Criss, save and turn off my damn Xbox or else you'll mess up my system!" she growled, regaining her composure.

"Hold on, I'm getting you another Codex page!" her friend ignored Ellena's angered warning somewhat, battling some guards in the game.

Another thunderclap sounded, much closer and louder than before, the sound vibrating through the apartment, and lightning streaked through the sky seconds later, flashing from the window. Ellena got up and marched over to Criss, roughly snatching the controller from her hands, killed off the rest of the guards quickly, and got the Codex Page from the chest, the game autosaving immediately afterwards, and then she paused the game. She was just about to turn off the console when…

Z-ZAP!

The power goes out. The TV screen turned an odd bright white before shutting itself off, leaving the two girls in pitch black darkness.

Seconds later, odd grunts and a sharp loud THUD breaks the silence, scaring the two girls.

"W-what was t-that…?" Criss whispered in fear.

"I-I dunno..!" Ellena whispered a response, her voice trembling like her friend's. She patted her pockets to see if her phone was in one of them, but sadly, it wasn't. Great job, Ellena! You've left your phone somewhere on the floor! She scolded herself in her mind.

"Why isn't the power coming back on..?" Criss' voice started to get higher pitched as she became more panicky.

A soft groan startles and quiets the pair, sounding deep, like as if it came from a male.

"W-was that y-you, Criss..?" Ellena quietly said, managing to find her phone when it lit up a little from receiving a text.

"Do I sound like a male to you?"

"I was just asking! Geez, cool your-"

Another groan is heard, sounding louder now, and then a male voice speaks out.

"Ugh… cosa è successo…? Dove sono io…?"

Both girls instantly become paralyzed in fear, not knowing who the voice belonged to.

"Perché è così buio ...?" the male voice questioned again, sounding young and oddly familiar.

None of the girls uttered a single word as they heard the light footsteps of their 'intruder' roam around, bumping into some things.

"I cannot see a thing… It must be nighttime.. Wherever I am.." the unknown male said in English, his rough Italian accent noticeable.

"He s-sounds like Ezio," Criss whispered lowly to herself, hoping it wouldn't be heard.

But, alas, it was.

"Who said that? Who's here? Rispondere o subire le conseguenze!" the Italian male spoke sternly, terrifying the teenagers even more.

None of them spoke for a bit as they heard him walk around some more, but then he began to approach Ellena slowly, and she heard a soft shink noise.

A blade.

"V-Vogliamo dire n-nulla di m-male…! N-Non farci d-del male!" Ellena pleaded shakily, about to shine the light from her phone to find the person who threatened them.

As she pressed the button to bring her phone to life, the lights conveniently turn back on, revealing their Italian 'intruder'.

Ezio Auditore de Firenze.

HOLY CRAP, EZIO'S IN THE REAL WORLD. Not much of a good 'new' story, isn't it? Well, there's more to come, dudes and dudettes! Expect more! :D

Italian words:

"Agh, mi desincronizzat o ni nuovo!"- Agh, I desynchronized again!

"Dare quel indietro!"- Give that back!

"Capito?"- Understand?

"Giusto?"- Right?

"Non hai bisogno di, sorella! Nulla succederà al sistema."- You don't need to, sister! Nothing's going to happen to the system.

"Non si sa mai..."- You never know...

"Ugh… cosa è successo…? Dove sono io…?"- Ugh... what happened...? Where am I...?

"Perché è così buio ...?"- Why is it so dark..?

"Rispondere o subire le conseguenze!"- Answer or suffer the consquences!

"Vogliamo dire nulla di male...! Non farci del male!"- We mean no harm...! Don't hurt us!

Look at that, you're getting an Italian lesson while you're reading a story. Isn't that wonderful?
