Hello everybody! Here is another installment of Blood in the Water! Just a quick little thing first. I apologize if this symbol ( ` ) gets put out of place. That key is really sensitive on my computer, and even if I don't press it down it goes like crazy. So yeah! Onward to Blood in the Water!
DISCLAIMER: Do I own Assassin's Creed? I wish. How about The Little Mermaid? Still no (although I'm thinking about trying).
Tuesday, September 28
Today's the day. Today is the day that I sneak into the castle and spy on a meeting. Its harmless really. I'm just watching them talk. While hiding in the rafters. And not making any noise. So yeah, perfectly harmless. I'll continue this when I have time.
Tuesday, September 28 Later
I have literally been sitting up here for two whole hours, and not a single interesting thing has happened. Not one. I might as well pass the time by writing about how I got to this mind numbing part. Okay, so I first had to grab all of my stuff. I adorned my dark green assassin robes, and quickly checked to make sure my hidden blades were in place. Afterwords I stuck my dagger on the right side of my waist and my sword on my left. Lastly, I slung my bow and quiver over my shoulders and looked around the room. It wasn't much, really. Just a bed, a closet, and a painting. I was just walking out of the room when I thought, Maybe I should take my journal, just in case this gets boring. I really love myself sometimes. Oh, right, I was telling a story here.
I exited the room and walked down the stairs to the main door of The Sleeping Dragon. "Where are you going, Miss Morgan?" called the owner, Mr. Camp.
I answered as I opened the door, "I want to see the city a bit more." With that I started a leisurely walk towards the huge castle in the distance. It's a pretty hard thing to miss. I thought to myself, Ah, what the heck? I turned quickly to the building on my left. As I reached the front of the large, light colored building, I set my foot up against it and launched myself upwards. While I was climbing, more than a few citizens stared at me in awe, and a few yelled at me to get down or I'd end up killing myself. I couldn't help but smile. It's always fun to see people wonder what's going on inside your head.
I pulled myself onto the roof of the building. Looking around, I spotted something that I just had to try out. In the brotherhood, we call them viewpoints, but there's probably a better term somewhere. I hopped across the rooftops to the tower that was in front of me. After reaching it, I started my ascent. At the very top was a small wooden ledge just big enough to support me. I crouched low and walked out over the ground below. With a quick look down, I saw a cart filled with hay. I thought sarcastically, I am so shocked. This definitely isn't new to me. I smiled at my own joke, and hopped off the ledge. It's such an amazing feeling. Jumping off and having the wind rush past you, and then safely landing in the hay without a scratch.
Okay, enough goofing off. I need to be serious about this. I hopped out of the hay, hoping that not too many people saw that. Luckily, only a couple of teenagers saw it. Let's just hope that they know better than to attempt it. I started my walk towards the palace back up again一just in time to see a red ball hit me in the face. I fell backwards, my hood falling off and revealing all of my facial features. The fall hurt enough, not to mention my knife pricking my leg on the way down. Before I could even sit up, a group of small children was huddled around me.
"We're sorry miss! Are you okay?" One boy asked and walked walked towards me. "And why do you have that jewel in your nose?"
I quickly answered, "I'm fine, and this?" I tapped my nose piercing. "It's nothing. Just be sure to ask your parents before you get one." I got up quickly. "Um...bye." I took off at a full sprint down the street, making sure to pull my hood back up. In my rush, I didn't even notice that my coin purse was missing.
So I climbed the castle walls, snuck past the guards, and now I'm here. In the rafters, bored out of my mind. ANd I only noticed a few minutes ago that I had been stolen from. Wait, who's that? A girl just walked in. She's at least sixteen, and she has long black hair that's tied up in a ponytail. She must be the king's daughter. I mean, look at them. They're so similar. They're even both wearing informal attire. I think I like these people. And another girl is running in after her now. Is that her mother? She's significantly older, that's for sure. She has long red hair, and she must be the queen. What's her name again? Ashley? Alanna? Ariel! That's it! And the king, what about him? Eric, I think. But I was never told that they have a daughter.
Oh no. I dropped my knife. Maybe no one will notice? And, of course, everyone noticed. Great. And that one guy has a cross bow, and, shit!
So that could have gone better. Now I'm not bored out of my mind in the rafters, I'm bored out of my mind in a cell. Great. Time for more flashbacks, I guess. So, the guy with the crossbow shot at m and I lost my balance and fell. I hit the ground with a huge THUD!
The king yelled, "Guards, seize her!" Immediately, I was surrounded by guards who had spears leveled at my face. As I got up, they raised their spears at the same rate
I dusted myself off and said sarcastically, "I just fell about fifteen feet. What's that? Nope, didn't break anything. Thanks for the concern." I switched my tone at the glare I got from His Majesty. "So, I assume I'm in trouble?"
They confiscated all of my weapons, with the exclusion of the hidden blades because they couldn't find them (idiots), and then they threw me in here. Eric wanted to lock me up forever without question, but the queen made the point that he was being harsh. So at least one of them is nice. But I still got tossed in here for trespassing, eavesdropping on a private meeting, plus I got in trouble because I left a small dent in the floor, which they claim to be "property damage." This really isn't going so well. Not one bit.
Wait, footsteps? Someone's coming. This probably won't be good.
And thus concludes the first chapter of Blood in the Water! I hope you enjoyed, if you did, be sure to follow, favorite, and review. Remember, I'll take constructive criticism and suggestions, but I don't tolerate bashing. That said, have a good day/afternoon/night, depending on what time zone you're in, and I'll see you next time!
