Hello everybody, I'm here! Quick update, I have scrapped Wisconsin Brotherhood. I wasn't having any fun with it, and I just didn't like it. And if you think that it's because of the hate review, you would be wrong. I watched my friend post that, and we still laugh about it. Well, that said, I'm back with a new fanfic! It's still an Assassin's Creed/Disney crossover, just a different part of Disney, and a more experienced assassin this time. So, might as well get on with it. I present to you, Blood in the Water!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own AC or TLM. They belong to Disney and Ubisoft (although I wouldn't be surprised if they both belonged to Disney eventually).

Today is no ordinary day. I will be arriving in Oceanus soon, my first mission as an assassin. I had just become one last week. And I had enjoyed every second of the initiation.

Everything is happening so quickly, I thought to myself. I am currently writing in this journal that my father gave me. Oh crap, I'm here! I'll continue writing in this later. Right now is the time to explore.

Monday, September 27, Later

I've been here for one day and I've already made enemies. Perfect. So, to explain what happened, what better place to start than he beginning? I hadn't even walked into town yet. I had my hood up, just because I didn't want people to know my identity just yet. But as my luck has proved, just putting up my hood certainly didn't work. For one thing, my long blonde hair came out of the front. For a second, a guard stopped me to inspect my weapons, and made me take off my hood, revealing my deep blue eyes and nose piercing. So that was fun. I realized that this wouldn't be as easy as I had thought. I had been sent to investigate. Oceanus had stopped trade with a bunch of it's allies, and I was supposed to find out why.

As I walked into town I put my hood back up. I did get a few suspicious looks, but most of the people seemed friendly. It was hard to go for a minute without someone giving me a greeting. God, I'm thirsty. There's got to be a tavern around here somewhere. Maybe I can get some information, too.

I kept walking down the street, not trying to attract too much attention. I looked around at all the shops and stalls. People were selling everything, from bouquets of flowers, to swords and armour, to giant wheels of cheese. Ah, here's one. I had finally found what I was looking for. A sign above the tavern door read, The mermaid grotto. I quickly remembered a story I read about a bunch of mermaids who made an alliance with humans and fought a great war against a common foe. As a little girl I had wanted to be a mermaid myself, but as I grew older I dismissed the idea. Mermaids are just myths. Right?

I stepped into the dimly lit tavern and took in my surroundings. It was a small establishment, only about twenty feet across and forty feet in length. And yet they had managed to put in about twelve tables and still have room for people to walk around. I was soon greeted by a brown-haired, green-eyed waitress with a mug of ale in her hand and an apron over her waist.

"How can I help you miss?" She spoke with almost no accent, and she gave me a cheery smile.

I answered in my english accent, "One table, please."

She made a small frown, but led me to a table nonetheless. It was in the far back, and when I sat down she said, "We don't get many visitors here, ever since King Eric stopped most of the trade." Perfect. This lady knows about the King closing trade. Time to make my move.

"Do you know why he did?" She quickly shook her head and said, "Sorry," but I could tell she was lying. I didn't want to get get into any trouble quite so soon, so I just nodded my head. and started thinking. It doesn't make any sense. He notifies his people that he cut off most of the trade, but none of them will tell other people why?

I was so deep in thought that I couldn't hear the waitress talking to me. "Hello, is anyone in there?" she asked, smiling.

I immediately snapped out of my daze and asked, "What was the question?" She chuckled and asked again, "What'll it be?" How did I not hear something so simple? "I'll just have a pint, MIss..." "Julie." I nodded and she left to give a customer the mug of ale she had been holding, then retreated back to the kitchen.

Okay, so far so good. Haven't met any assholes yet, so maybe I wont' end upδΈ€aw crap! A group of several large and mean looking men strode into the tavern with scowls on their faces. The one in front, who was undoubtedly the leader, snatched a mug out of someone's hand and downed the entire thing. He walked up to a waitress and stared at her with cold brown eyes. He spoke in a deep gruff voice and said, "Get me and my friends a table. And make it snappy, wench!" His comment got him a few chuckles from his lackeys.

"R-right away sir!" The waitress quickly led them to to the table directly next to mine. Just peachy, I thought. I've got these oafs sitting right there.

Julie came back with my drink in hand, and quickly left when she saw the men sitting next to me.

The main guy tried to take my drink, but I snatched it away before he could. "Order something yourself, dick." He made an inward growl at my remark and stood up, towering over me. Seeing what he was doing, the rest of his group stood up, too. I just stared at him calmly, not batting an eyelash. Not that anyone could see my eyelashes.

"What did you say bitch?" Wow, he was feisty. I stood up to face him, but he was still a foot taller than me.

"You heard me." I tried to remain as cool as possible, but I had never actually been in a real fight before. Sure, there was training and I had done sparring matches before, but I had never done the actual thing. I honestly terrified.

"I'm going to bust you up so hard, the green on your clothes `will be covered in red.." He spoke through gritted teeth, barely able to contain his anger.

I answered as if his threat didn't faze me. "Well let's hope you're bite can back up your bark." With that he sent his fist flying towards my head, but I ducked and punched him hard in the groin. He instantly toppled over, grabbing his crotch and curling up into a fetal position. "Anybody else?" I challenged to rest of his crew. Two extremely dumb brutes thought that they could outsmart me by charging at me from both sides. I simply stepped forward at the last second and they smacked their heads together with a sickening CRUNCH! The last few members of the gang wanted nothing to do with me, and ran for the door. One gutsy one stopped in the frame and yelled, "You'll pay for this!" I took a menacing step forward and he ran off into the crowd outside.

A loud cheer went up from everybody in the tavern, and Julie walked over to me and said," That was amazing! I've never seen anyone stand up to Nathan and his gang! Thank you so much! How can we repay you?"

I answered, "I'll be in Oceanus for a while, so giving me directions to the nearest inn would be nice."

"Of course! Just walk down the street and look the the building with the sign, 'The Sleeping Dragon.' And I must know, what is your name?"

I figured I had made a friend in Julie, and that I could trust her with my identity. "Lila. My name is Lila Morgan."

Okay, well that's it for today, I hope you enjoyed! Reviews are much appreciated, especially constructive criticism, but I don't tolerate bashing! And what are your thoughts on Lila? I've read some other AC crossover fics, and most of them have male protagonists, so I wanted to make mine a little different. Also, this will be taking place after TLM 2. Lastly, they never make mention to the name of the above water kingdom ever. So I just went into Google Translate and saw what a bunch of water related words were in latin. I settled on 'ocean' because it 'oceanus' just sounds like a city name. That's about it. So, everybody have a good day, and goodbye!
