Once again edited due to mistakes made by me sorry once again hopefully it will read better

Ezio was walking through the streets of beautiful Roma; as usual he stuck to the back allies and crowded areas were the Borgia soldiers numbers were at their lowest. Today was August 9th 1503 and Ezio was looking for more Assassin apprentices he could recruit into the brotherhood, but it was to no avail the new reputation of the Borgia family had every one afraid of their own shadows.

They feared for their lives and the lives of the ones they love, like a herd of defenceless lambs they looked on in terror as the Borgia wolf picked them off one by one. However there was one hope as a victim of the injustice of the Borgia family's terrible crimes Ezio was a hero amongst most of the people in Italy.

He roamed the streets silent to all but seen by many and held dear in the hearts of the ones who owe him their lives. An angel drenched in the blood of the wicked and delivering the well disserved justice to those with in the Borgia forces. Ezio Auditore Da Firenze

As he walked behind a building he also came to a river which ran through Roma, with nothing but brick and water around him he stood motionless then sighed, he took a look around and with the knowledge that there was no one looking he took down his white hood. He revealed his middle aged face covered in stubble with dark bags under his eyes. It had be weeks since he had slept well, each night he would pace back and forth his room without rest and he would only get a couple of hours sleep whenever he was exhausted beyond his limits, that was only once every few days.

Ezio's biggest fear was that the new trainees were not ready for the life of an assassin, he knew better than anyone it was a hard life and not suited for everyone "Merda," Ezio rubbed his eyes in dread "I need a break from this life of mine." He leaned on the wall in front of him and hung his head then whisperd to himself "If your listening Minerva I could use some help around now. Cazzo"

Then out of nowhere Ezio was hit by a wave of water "che diavolo?" he shouted out as he jumped back into the building behind him. Then out of the blue a black bag fell to the ground in front of him it was made from a ruff material and was sealed shut with an odd metal device that stretched from one side of the bag to the other. Ezio couldn't think straight he was still tired from his lack of sleep plus the bag puzzled him, was it a gift from Minerva the spectral of the past which used him as a messenger boy to Desmond a man in the future.

He Picked up the bag on basic instinct and proceeded to walk back around the building and into a street until he heard something troubling, a noise that made him stop in his tracks "Oh mio dio that girl is drowning. Aiuto,Aiuto" Voices of multiple people at the docks were calling but no one was diving to help the person in question. Ezio tried to stay away thinking that he couldn't be dealing with this sort of thing but his good nature got the better of him.

Dropping the bag and his weapons he pushed all of the overseers out of the way shouting from the bottom of his lungs "Cazzo mossa!" and diving head first into the cold dark waters. He swam deeper and deeper until he saw a young girl sinking lower and lower in to the shadows of the waters, he reached out his hand and grabbed her wrist, and she was very thin and cold to the touch. Pulling the girl close to his chest he started to swim back to the surface. As he swam he could feel his breath starting to fail, he was only inches away but instinct took over and Ezio opened his mouth to breathe swallowing not air but water instead. Thankfully he reached the surface and with great force he pulled himself and the half dead girl on to the docks.

Ezio looked over the young girl in fear, you see she wasn't moving. She laid there in silence like the lifeless corpse was lying there in vain. Ezio rubbed his head "Merda too late" he whispered he then browed his head and placed his hand around her head and lifted her up slightly and then with depression in his voice "Requiescat in pace" he sighed once again "I do not find this helpful."

He was about to place the girl's body back down when her chest rose up and she let out an almighty chough along with water from her near death experience. Anyone else would have been happy, but Ezio was more stunned at what he had just seen she was dead he thought dead as dead could be. So instead of showing his happy face he instead looked in his more astonished one, which to Alice laid there in his arm's was similar to the one you get from your father after a scolding.

She opened her eyes, showing their unique coloration and she whispered "Who are you?"...

Now the girl was just past out, not dead, (Ezio had to keep reminding himself about that part) she must have only been Fifteen or maybe fourteen she was very short and pale, her black hair trailed across the floor and was dripping wet.

In his right mind he wanted to leave her, he had done his good deed but that might not be the wisest thing to do. You see Alice was wearing an everyday summer's outfit, a pair of brown gladiator sandals she had got from Primark, some dark tanned shorts from River Island and a white vest top. To you or me seeing a young teenage girl wearing that would be normal but to Ezio these clothes were basically, well, a woman's underwear and with Alice being wet through you cloud also see other piece of clothing as well as a lot of skin. So Ezio knew very well that this strange and nude young lady, more than likely couldn't be left alone.

He picked up his weapons and the odd bag and lifted Alice delicately into his arms. He also took off his cloak and placed it over her, at least now she wasn't as naked as before.

With Alice bundled up Ezio started to walk. He had decided that the best place for this young girl was back at the brotherhoods hideout in the heart of Roma. On his arrival Ezio was greeted by gasps and whispers from the other assassins. Niccoló Machiavelli a well dressed middle aged man took one look at the girl then at Ezio and gave a stern look at him "Ezio!" he shouted "What is the meaning of this?" Machiavelli was the type of person who had a way and would like it that way, no questions asked. "Machiavelli, you know better than anyone that we assassins never harm the innocent." Ezio raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying you hurt this girl?" Machiavelli was persistent today. "No but if I left her in the streets it would have led to her being harmed and then it would be my fault, no?" Machiavelli became confused, Ezio took this opportunity turned and casually walked away toward a room.

Machiavelli was still confused and with the other assassins watching his face turn slightly pink, with his frustration he turned to the them and shouted loudly and pointlessly at them "Don't you novice's have training, or missions to get on with!" and with that the others cleared out the room faster than light. Machiavelli was about to leave when he noticed one assassin was still standing with his back to a wall, either he was stupid or incredibly stupid.

In the hall outside of the room two other assassins looked on in dread the first was a girl and she was gritting her teeth at the thought of what might happen, the second was a boy as he spoke fear curled around every word "Oh mio dio, is that the new recruit." The girl looked then realised who it was standing like helpless prey in Machiavelli's grasp "Jesus your right, its Pino!" she gasped.

"It might as well be carne morta because that's how he's going to end up"

Machiavelli looked the young assassin right in the eyes, the person in question was a young boy around fifteen, and he was average height with little meat on his bones. His baggy white robes barely hung on to his body, like clothes you find on a scarecrow these also looked as if they had been draped over a stick frame. Machiavelli circled him looking up and down inspecting every detail. The boy was trembling slightly under Machiavelli's cruel stare you could feel the tension seep out of the room. Machiavelli pulled the boys hood down showing his short wavy brown locks and dark mahogany eyes, "and who are you?" demanded Machiavelli. The boy was hesitant and answered with a timid tone "Pino Romano, signore".

"Well Pino might I ask, what are you still doing here?"

"I don't have training or a mission to get to, so I..."

"So you what Pino Romano"

"Err, I sorry signore I'll leave."

"Oh no Pino I have a job for you" Machiavelli placed one arm around him and started to walk "Go to Ezio and find out who that girl is then tell him I have something to shout, I mean talk to him about." They then stood still for a moment "Well then Pino, Vai!" Pino ran in whatever direction he could find which was right, "Other way Idiota" shouted Machiavelli with his hand over his eyes, Pino came back into view and walked left pointing and smiling in a nervous manner "Right, go left got it."

Ezio had placed Alice in his bed and put his cloak back on, she was still out for the count and he was still very busy, "Too bad I have to go, but I need someone to be here when you wake up." and at that moment Pino came stumbling through the door "Mister Ezio signore!" his voice echoed in the room. Ezio jumped at that the sound "Idiota Be Quite." He gritted his teeth and put one finger to his lips, "Why?" whispered Pino, Ezio pointed to Alice and Pino stared in shock then grasped loudly "Shush." Whispered Ezio and at that the same moment Pino felt the sharp shooting pain of being hit in the head with Ezio's hand it was like taking a brick to the back of the skull it made Pino dizzy.

Ezio looked at Pino then at Alice and smiled with enlightenment in his eyes. Pino had the feeling the smile wasn't going to make his life any easer "Your Pino, Aren't you?" Ezio was still smiling at him. Pino just nodded shaking his head furiously to answer as fast as he could. "I have a mission for you, bene." Ezio looked at Pino and smiled again, Pino didn't know what to say he had never been given a mission in the brotherhood so he was happy but what mission would it be. It was like being given exactly what you wanted but being too scared to except it.

Pino didn't answer, Ezio took it upon himself to answer for him "Good I take you silence as a yes, your mission is to sit with this young lady until I get back."

"Is that it Ezio signore?"

"Yes that's it Pino." With that Ezio turned to the door and started to walk out of the room and into the stone walled hall way. The next thing he heard was a large crash from the room and a bang on the floor Ezio turned around and saw Pino laying on the ground with panic on his face "What if she wakes up?" Ezio stood and thought then answered almost sarcastically as he turned back around and put one arm in the air shouting "It's not my mission, don't do anything I wouldn't Pino."

Pino slammed his head on the ground with a lot of force "ohi" he shouted
