Hey guys, sorry for being late with this update, I've been busy with college and work, but here a new chapter, hope that you enjoy it, leave comments to know what do you think.
Chapter 1.- Animus
A flashing red light was coming out of the sky and I was at a place that looked familiar somehow but my mind couldn't make any connection to remember it, there where old like buildings, but I couldn't identify the details.
Faceless people was walking right next to me, some glowing blue, others glowing red, but my presence seemed like not to bother them at all, to add more for this thing that looked somehow like a nightmare I was having flashbacks and memories of unknown events.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a man with noble like clothes stood up in front of me and pulled a gun pointing at me...
"He won't make it" a voice that came from the sky said.
"He doesn't have even 3% of synchronization, we need to pull him out NOW" said a familiar voice.
"No we don't have time, he shares the same DNA as Alex..." Alex? DNA? What does my dead brother had to do with all this?
In that moment the the man in front of me pulled the trigger, is this way how I was going to end?
I didn't remember what happened since the last time I talked with my father after waking up and discovering the Assassin-Templar war.
When the fired bullet almost reached my face the whole world surrounding me freezed.
"End of simulation pulling out subject" said a female robotic voice.
Simulation? What the actual fuck was happening?
Every building, every living being, everything surrounding me implode into light shiny crystals and everything started to get dark, I found myself in an empty room, everything was dark, I couldn't even see myself...
I turned my head in all the directions to see if I could see something, but nothing beside darkness and solitude was out there...
Then I opened my eyes.
I was in shock.
I was heavy breathing, and showered in my own sweat.
I looked to the left, where a machine monitoring my heartbeats was, my heart was almost pumping out of my chest.
Then I gained all my senses back and realized where I was... My ears started listening it surroundings again...
I recognized the 2 male voice that came from the sky earlier, it was my father and Rafael talking.
"How do you feel after that?" Said a girl sitting next to me in a computer, drawing my attention "Say something, we need to be sure you still ok before sending you again"
I continued in shock, words didn't find its way out of my mouth, I didn't know what to say or even what to think, I was dizzy, I turned my face to the other side and threw up.
"Dad where am I?" I said with a weak voice putting my hand in my head.
"The animus probably affected his recent memory, give him a few seconds to see how he will react" said the girl not paying attention to anything beside her computer.
She was right, after some seconds my memories between yesterday evening since I woke up after the incident and now.
Flashback Last Night
Later that evening my father invite me to something like a meeting, Rafael was there, a picture of my brother was in the middle of the salon along with other 4 pictures. Almost everyone was dressed with jeans, sneakers and a white hood.
"In the last years our order has suffer multiple direct attacks by the templars..." Said someone in the upper floor, I couldn't distinguish who it was because of the lack of light.
"Yesterday a sigma team bureau attacked and killed one of our best assassins, Alex..." said someone else next to him.
"But he lived by and for the creed without questioning its meaning but understanding its truth..." Said a female old voice in the other side.
"The creed you live by now, Tony..." Interrupted Rafael talking directly to me.
"Life won't be as before young novice, you shall learn our manners and our reasons" Said the first old men in the upper floor.
"You shall learn how to hide and disappear" said the second voice.
"You shall learn in the dark to serve the light" ended the female and third voice in the upper floor.
I was confused, what all of this meant, what I was suppose to learn, lost in my thoughts Rafael grabbed my arm making me walk next to him. We abandoned the room and walked in a long corridor to another room that was full of computers and servers. My attention was immediately caught by a young girl sitting in the main computer, she had long brown hair, a clear brown skin tone and honey colored eyes, she was using headphones and playing some first person shooter.
"Camila!" Said Rafael interrupting her "Here is our newbie, he finally woke up"
"So what's up sleeping beauty" Camila said with a sarcastic tone "Does he knows about Alex mi..."
"He is here to become an assassin trough the bleeding effect" Interrupted Rafael "He will start in the point we left last time"
Rafael explained me about a weird machine I was going to use, it was called the Animus, a machine capable of letting me revive my ancestors history using my DNA, I was going to revive the memories of a man that lived in the XIX century during the dominican independence war called Francisco Alberto Castello. This seemed very strange to me, but, do I really had a choice?
Camila took a sample of my blood and proceed to pay attention again to her computer, after that Rafael ask me to leave. I still have a lot of questions, why I had to "revive" my ancestor's life? What was the bleeding effect? How all this shit was suppose to work? And what concerned me the most, who were the Sigma Team and what they wanted with us?
End of Flashback
"Hey kid, are you ok?" Said Camila drawing my attention to her again after remembering what had happened "Its all for today go a get some rest"
"Son, better go and eat something, then go to exercise a little, you need it, we are done for today" said my father.
It was my second day awake and any of my questions had been answered, only time will give me answers.
Camila removed the IV in my arm and I got out of the room, I did exactly what my dad asked me to do, and at the end of the night I laid in my bed with only two things in my head, that girl in the computer lab earlier, and the weird shit I felt while on the Animus...
