"Are you sure this will work Connor?" I turned to look at his face.

"No." He said this with such a confidence that scared me to death. "Will I die Connor? Feel free to be blunt, you usually are..."

He sighed and stared at his feet, "Probably... Yes you most likely will die." My blood ran cold at his words. I felt my cheeks get hot as I began to sob.

"I did not intend to hurt you Astrid. I felt that it was useless to lie to you. You understand that the entire fate of the Assassins hinges on this mission right? You understand that the entire order rests on your shoulders? Is it not a worthy cause to die for?"

I nodded at his words. This mission was the most important mission of my life and I shouldn't muck it up for the sake of my own life. He left the room and Dobby walked in, "You remember the objectives yes? Get in find the target, get close to him. You must find a way to be invited on stage during his speech okay? When he begins to talk, kill him any way you see fit. Try to run if you can, but to be honest there might not be a way to escape."

"I understand... Dobby I wanted to thank you for being there through everything that has happened. You have become my best friend and I am so glad to have you." Tears began to fill her eyes. She hugged me and we both left to the carriage where Connor was waiting in his ensemble for the mission.

"Okay. Who's ready to go to a party?" I asked trying to lighten the mood a bit. Connor gave me a ghost of a smile in response and we both piled into the carriage.

When we arrived shortly after, Connor gave a heavy sigh. Two hours were spent in the carriage in complete silence. He hates me. Just as I was having that thought, the carriage door opened and we were escorted into the mansion where the party was being held. "So this is it." Connor said in my ear over the loud chatter.

"Connor I-" He kissed me, but it wasn't a happy moment for either of us. His eyes were filled with sorrow as we both went our separate ways disappearing into the crowds of people forever.

Okay. Wipe your eyes. Find the representative... Just then,I bumped into a man without seeing him. Crap. I don't want to start anything! "Oi, watch where you're headed lass." I turned already working up an apology, "Oh sorry I -" He chuckled, "It's quite alright. Representative McCarthy, pleased to meet ya!" Found ya, you little shit. "Hello there I'm Astrid Mastifer. It is such a pleasure to meet you finally." I put on my best sweet vulnerable girl act silently praying that it would work.

He smiled politely at me, "Say, you are quite attractive... Looks I need an escort still to my podium. How about you join me?"

"Wow that sounds fantastic! I would love to." Looks I found my ticket in... He took my arm and we walked up the steps to a massive stage area. I began to search the crowd for Connor. He was on the top left balcony, ready to shoot if anything went wrong. I shut my eyes in silent prayer, Please god. Please let me live. I need a second chance, a fresh start. Please save me.

"Ladies and gentlemen thank you for coming this fine evening..." That was my cue. i ripped of my skirts to reveal my pants so i could run better. I rushed forward and ran my blade into McCarthy's neck. A blunt object found its place on the back of my head and I began to fall off of the stage. I landed on the ground paralyzed. Oh my God. I am paralyzed. I can't move! I can't move! Blood stained my vision. Gunshots. A flash of white and blue. Civilians screaming and running all over me. Connor... saying my name. No, screaming for me to wake up. I can't speak and my vision is blackening. I can't see.

Am I dead? No, worse I am still tormented by the screaming. What is going on?

"You are being given a second chance Astrid."

Geez I know it is short. Ugh sorry :\ I Guarantee the next chapters will be worth it. I did rush this one because i just wanted it done xD. Thanks for reading and Please review if you can :3
