Dear Rabit,
My legs are getting weak
Chasing you.
The Snow Feilds
Wouldn't seem so big
If you knew..
Altair was silent, his darling Delilah was hurt and it was all his fault. He growled as he continued throwing knives at the board in the shape of a human. He wished it was the man who hurt his Beloved but, sadly, he knew he wouldn't find him anytime soon. He'd probably send Mara out soon to get the information he'd need…
That this blood on my teeth
it is far beyond dry
And I've captured you once,
but it wasn't quite right.
Delilah was silent, watching Leonardo and Mara work in perfect synch but there was a pissed off expression on Mara's features.
"Mara I'm fine really.." Delilah whimpered out, Mara's eyes flickered to her Mentor's fiance and she fell silent before speaking again.
"You're not. That man stabbed you.." She hissed out, venom lacing her words.
"Mara really.. Stop troubling yourself-" Mara looked at Delilah for a bit.
"I have nothing because the dang Templars are still out looking for me, Delilah. So would you have me leave you in pain? Because I refuse to do that." Mara stated before working with Leonardo again.
So I'm telling you…
That
You'll
Be Safe
With
Me…
Altair grunted once when pain shot through his shoulder, he was pushing himself too much but he didn't care, he'd push himself over the edge for Delilah. Altair set his knives back in their pack before moving into a handstand position and doing push ups. He winced when his arm had pain flowing through it in waves now. He cried out as it gave out and he fell to the side, he held his shoulder and grit his teeth. Thinking back to the moment it happened…
Altair looked at Delilah, she looked absolutely stunning in the dress she was wearing for the mission.
"Are you sure about this, Delilah? I mean.. I could get someone else-" He began but she cut him off.
"Altair, Darling I love you but let me be. I can handle a mission, alright? Don't bother anyone else. They're all already out on their own missions." She stated and smiled. Altair swallowed thickly but nodded.
"As you wish." he murmured before turning and walking out to the party with her. "Do you remember what you are to-" She gave him a look and he shut his mouth. "Yes, of course you do, sorry love." He murmured and she kissed his cheek.
"It's fine Darling. Now let me go so I can complete this mission." She murmured into his ear. "Then maybe later.." She trailed off and he tensed at her words and glanced at her, his eyes darkening in lust.
"Delilah do not speak of such things when-" She looked at him.
"When we're about to go into a mission? Why? Does it distract you? You just have to sit up in the darkness and do your shadow things." She shooed him with a hand wave. He slightly tilted his head and cocked an eyebrow.
"Shadow thing..?" He questioned, causing her to giggle.
"Just go!" She gently pushed him, he smiled and kissed her passionately before releasing her and moving into the shadows. Watching her enter the building. All of a sudden a wave of Anxiety overtook him. He cursed himself, letting the woman he loved most in the world go on a mission as dangerous as this… Well.. It was simply for information. He shook the feeling and kept his eyes on his darling Fiancé.
Rabbit
My claws are dull now so don't
Be afraid
I could keep you warm,
as long as you can just try..
to be brave..
Delilah cried out in pain as Mara slowly pulled the knife from the wound.
"It's out Leonardo! We're hot now." as she spoke Leonardo was working as quickly as he could trying to stop the bleeding and get her sewn up. (This may be completely wrong, I just know not to remove the knife until you know you wont bleed out, aka with a doctor XD ) Delilah had tears running down her face and she looked at Mara who was pale.
"W-What i-is it-" She began but cried out again, the pain was overwhelming. Mara shook her head and continued to help Leonardo the best she could. Delilah began to fall unconscious thinking about the night before the mission how she and Altair shared a night under the moonlight. She smiled weakly before Mara moved Delilah's head a bit.
"Hey hey hey! Stay awake Delilah!" She whimpered.
"Mara get Malik, Now!" Leonardo demanded and Mara nodded, running out of the room as fast as she could, Delilah could faintly make out Mara's voice yelling.
"ONE ARM WE NEED HELP WITH DELILAH!" She yelled. Soon enough Malik was in the room helping Leonardo. Mara was not there now.
Yes I know I'm a wolf,
and I've been known to bite.
But the rest of my pack
I have left them behind.
And my teeth may be sharp
and I've been raised to kill..
Altair winced as he pushed himself to train even more, hitting a punching bag repeatedly. Ignoring the burning pain in his arm. He growled, remembering as Delilah got hurt.
Altair had taken his eyes off of Delilah, for only a second, A single second, and she was gone, panic set in and Altair continued to scan the crowd. He soon enough found her and calmed his nerves but then.. Screaming filled his ears and he looked to where, it was a woman standing near Delilah who was now on the ground, a pool of blood forming around her. Altair's eyes widened and darkened quickly with Rage. He jumped down and rolled then quickly picked up his darling and Cradled her small form close to his rather large form. He felt breath on his neck and his eyes widened. He quickly bolted out of the building, keeping a firm, secure grasp on Delilah's now shivering form.
"My darling please don't leave me" He whispered and continued running.
Altair was snapped back to reality when he felt a hand on his shoulder, he quickly gripped the wrist of the person and flipped them, only to have his own arm twisted into a painful position and he heard feet hit the ground. Mara stood in front of him, hood down and a bright red slap mark on her face. Her eyes narrowed on him as she blew some hair from her face. He glared at her now.
"Do not sneak up on me Ma-" She cut him off.
"Shut it." She hissed and moved to his side, moving his shoulder a bit, causing him to hiss in pain.
"You do not tell me what to do Mara" He hissed at her, only earning a cold glare to which he gladly returned. Mara scoffed.
"I will tell you what to do when you are injured and trying to injure yourself more, Now stop it!" She tried to help him but he pushed her off.
"Do not touch me." He snapped on her and she glared into his eyes now and snapped.
"Sorry I want your unborn child to have a father!" She paled and tensed as the words left her mouth, Altair turned very pale very fast.
"W-What?" He growled at Mara, who shook her head.
"It is not my business.." She whispered. He snorted.
"It is not. Now leave me." When she didn't move he yelled. "I said Leave Me!" She snapped his shoulder back into place and he cried out, growling at her now. "Mara!" He snapped but she just looked at him.
"I know when I was growing up.. When my mom and dad would fight it was because my dad was hurt." She spoke quietly. "No kid wants to have a banged up dad.." She murmured and then turned and walked out. He watched her before punching the wall.
"Screw it all!" He snapped and then ran a hand through his hair and paced quickly. This was bad. He wasn't prepared for this. Being an assassin his whole life, being taken from his parents at a young age, the only role model he had turned out to be a Templar. He cursed more and thought about being a father, he.. He wasn't ready for it.. He couldn't be a father. His father died when he was eleven and Al Mulaim was no good role model.. He looked to the door hearing Delilah scream in pain. He felt every muscle in his body tense.
But the thought of fresh meat
it is making me ill.
So I'm telling you
that you'll be
Safe
With
Me.
Delilah cried out again, tears streamed down her face.
"Guys you have to give her something! You're killing her!" Mara whined out but was ignored.
"If we give her anything we risk something going wrong so shut up and make yourself useful instead of Whining Mara." Malik said smoothly, Mara slowly nodded and ran over to Delilah, holding her hand gently.
"It's okay Delilah.. We.. We're going do everything we can to help you.." She murmured before looking around for something. "Tell me of a fond memory." Mara said quickly. Delilah looked at her but couldn't think straight. She was in too much pain.
"I-I cant" She cried out. Mara tensed up but slowly calmed herself and spoke.
"We can talk about the day I ticked Maden off so bad I had to sleep in the stables." Delilah looked at Mara a bit, to continue. "So I wasn't the nicest friend he had, I pulled all sorts of pranks on him, growing up. He usually blows them off but this time I may have gone too far." Delilah was calming down, the pain subsiding slightly. "I put a spider in his robes.. And Maden's afraid of spiders." Delilah watched as Mara chuckled. "You should have seen him, he danced around trying to get this harmless spider out of his robes. He cursed at me and then made me sleep in the stables." Delilah let out a weak chuckle but soon enough another wave of pain shot through her and she screamed in pain.
So Rabbit, please stop
looking the other way.
Altair heard another scream then ran into the mansion, He looked at Mara who was sitting with Delilah, holding her hand. He saw the wound was stitched but something was wrong, Delilah was still in pain. Mara looked to see Altair and quickly moved, Altair moved to her spot and Mara slipped to help Malik and Leonardo again. Altair gently gripped Delilah's hand.
"Habibi. (1)" He murmured and kissed her knuckles gently then rubbed his thumb on her hand. She watched him and smiled tiredly.
"Altair.." She whispered but cried out again. Altair could only see blood when he looked to Malik and the others. He returned his attention to Delilah he needed to be strong, if not for himself, for her.
"You're alright.." He murmured and he felt her hand squeeze his tightly as she cried out again. He let her, watching her expressions to see the amount of pain and it was a great amount. She slowly calmed down and he kissed her knuckles again then moved the chair closer to the bed and kissed her temple and forehead. She cried, the pain was getting close to unbearable.
"Almost done Delilah.." Mara said quietly. Altair nodded to her then looked at Delilah.
"You don't have to do this much longer.." He murmured and she nodded weakly the final wave of pain shot through her and she screamed loudly. After a bit of time Mara walked over to the two. Altair was wiping the sweat from his lover's face and neck and Delilah was trying to calm down, she wanted to rest, badly. Mara swallowed thickly, holding something wrapped in a blanket.
"I'm so sorry.." She whispered and shook. "He.. He would have been beautiful.." She shook worse. Altair looked at her and then the tucked blanket in her arms. He slowly held his arms out and she set the blanket in his arms, there was a small baby boy in them, he was very tiny and had a small mess of brown hair atop his head. Altair's eyes filled with tears and he looked at the others.
"Leave us." he demanded and they walked out of the room, Mara closed the door behind her. Delilah watched Altair and then looked at the baby and slowly tears filled her eyes. Altair moved his head onto hers and whispered apologies over and over again.
"You did not know." She sobbed but he whispered.
"That does not matter, you should not have gone on that mission. I'm so sorry… Habibi I am so sorry." He cried and she cried with him, for they lost more than their target that day, they had lost a son, as well.
It's cold out there

under..
my
tail..
Habibi: My love
