They found me, when I escaped with Lucy and Desmond I left the face of the earth as I called it. Changed my name moved to Muskogee a town in Oklahoma, I thought no one would be able to find me I was wrong. Now I stood in the corner of my room four templar guards holding guns to my forehead and vitals. Damn it I just wanted to escape from my grandfather get away from the thousand's or years war I had nothing to do with, and here I was looking death in the eye because of my search for freedom.

"You shouldn't have left Cerone or is it Emily now hmm?" I knew that voice, my eyes widened as I saw my grandfather walk toward me holding his cane that held the Templars emblem. His cold eyes they were the same as that day when I first met him no more false kindness. He was showing his true colors at last but it was too late for me now.

"It's a pity you would have made a great Templar my dear, any last words before I send you to hell," I kept silent biting the inside of my cheek trying not to spit in his face. I couldn't stop the smile on my lips though, the tension in the room grew so thick you could cut it with a knife and serve it for dinner. He was giving me a chance a chance to be forgiven I knew it he wanted me as a puppet to do his bidding. But everything inside of me was over boiling point and I couldn't take it anymore.

"You think I give a shit about being a Templar, Do me a favor and take that stick out of your ass and go choke on it," It felt good to say it, the adrenaline I felt put me on cloud nine but the plummet was to soon.

"Your choice," And with a motion of his hand I heard the gun shots. Funny it didn't really hurt until I hit the ground. My blood pooling from under me, who would have known life blood was different then a minor cut, it was darker almost black, but maybe that was just my vision fading. The pain started to fade or was that my body becoming numb? I didn't know, you know how they said your life flashes before your eyes. That's a lie made by man, I never saw anything like that just a cool darkness that caressed my body into a sleep. And damn what a sleep it was.

I was sore as hell, wasn't I supposed to be dead right now. SO WHY THE HELL DID IT HURT SO MUCH.

"I know it hurts but that because I had to pull you from the otherworld to the state of in between," A woman's voice, so God was a girl then I guess superchick was right about that. The voice chuckled at my comment on the band Superchick's song God is a girl.

"You may think of me as such but please call me Minerva," Minerva said in a calm almost monotone voice. What exactly was happening right now? This person who was she? Why didn't I see golden gates or firey pits of doom please don't tell me the afterlife was being all alone in a white room with only a voice in your head to keep you company. 'SO I'm gonna be crazy in death too great,' I thought sarcastically hearing a Minerva snickering at me in the back of my head.

"No child you are not going insane and neither are you dead," this made my brow furrow in confusion.

"What do you mean, I was shot I saw all of my blood leave my body," My voice sounded horse and agitated, this was starting to piss me off. I couldn't even die in peace something always had to happen. Tears started flowing down my cheeks this was all starting to be too much. Every single thing in my life didn't go right. My mom died in front of me, I was taken in by an evil grandfather, forced into following the Templars then tried to escape only to be caught not even two weeks after. Now I couldn't even die and escape from the pain of being alive.

"Child your life wasn't supposed to turn out the way it has, that's why I'm giving you another chance, a new life, if you accept you will live again anew in another time besides your own if not you will die in modern day, the choice is yours." Minerva spoke her voice faltering when she said the choice is yours

A new life, a new chance, freedom… but nothing in this world was free. And this probably had a heavy price a new life for an old one a new story, a new face…a new destiny all coming with more hardships. And with Minerva's silence I knew this was the case. Did I want this really? Would I screw up like I did in my other life like I did in this one? But did I really want to die? No…no I didn't the reason my life didn't flash before my eyes was because I hadn't lived it yet.

"What's the catch," I asked her, in a flash of light she appeared before me a woman with dark hair and wearing clothes that reminded me of the ancient Egyptians. She was beautiful an inhuman this woman had a reason for this and by looking at her sorrowful face I know what was ahead wouldn't be easy.

"I need you to watch over a man by the name of Ezio Auditore, and join in his ranks become an Assassin defeat the Templar lord Druin who holds the key to unlock the Chalice." Her words made my mouth go dry, but something inside of me made me nod in agreement. It was like the inside of my being was saying 'yes' at the name Ezio Auditore. What was happening to me, warmth erupted in my stomach slowly growing bigger and bigger till it reached my fingertips. I looked at Minerva who smiled at me she grabbed my hand and handed me something I didn't recognize it was an emblem It kinda looked like an A but it made me smile. Holding it tight in my palm I closed my eyes a loud popping sound ignited. And opening my eyes I saw myself on the streets of Florence Italy watching as a man was being chased by the guards. I would have helped him out if it wasn't for the sudden tiredness I felt and in a dizzy haze I fell onto the dirt ground that seemed so comfy at the moment and I fell asleep, the emblem still within my grasp.
