Please review any questions comments or concerns. Those who have faved and or alerted Your awesome. Please review.

Couple of day passed by slowly and the new year started. Gabriela had cleaned the house up and made it rather cozy and livable. She turned her head back to the man still sleeping in the bed. It had been ten days since she first dragged his body here and ten days she has been waiting for him to wake up. The words she was told only a few nights before still haunted her. She was being watched and her life was on the line if she tried to finish her task. With a deep breath she lifted a few clean cloths up and put them in a basin of warm water .

She rung out the cloths and walked over to Ezio and sat on the side of the bed before leaning over to clean over his wound. She kept it well treated but it took time for such injuries to heal. A she cleaned over the wound she heard him hiss in pain before her gaze moved up to his face seeing he woke up. She stared at his golden eyes a moment before sitting back. She moved quickly to slow him from sitting up."

"Calmarse (S: Calm down)" Gabriela stopped a moment realizing she spoke Spanish in her haste and quickly corrected herself to make sure he could understand her. "Calmatevi (I: calm down) The pain will end soon."

"Where have you brought me?" His voice was ruff from days with no water, and groggy from just waking. His words made her think, he couldn't believe a girl smaller then he could drag him there. That's when it hit her the man that threatened her.

"No where, Messere (I: mister). A man left you here?" She spoke slowly almost like she was waiting for him to not believe her as he sat up in the bed. How close he was, how awake and a how ready he was to be killed and she couldn't move a muscle to do anything.

"Did he say anything?" he spoke with a touch of curiosity though in his state any one would have been.

"Only this. You are to meet Messere (I: mister) Machiavelli in front of the Mausoleo de Agusto." She reached out and help him stand slowly. "Let me help you get dressed."

"The man who brought me here gave me these clothes?" Ezio saw the clothes as she turned to take them up to help him dress.

"Si, messere (I: Yes, mister)" She spoke before turning to look at him.

She handed him the clothes as he dressed slowly taking care of his wounded side. Her fingers helped him lace his boots and buckle the straps over his shoulder and fixing his cape. She turned her back and took his hidden blade from the table behind her. Turning around she held it out to him as he slide his hand through easily. Turning his palm up she pulled the laces tying it up before taking a step back. She watched him walk out before she followed him and watched him as he looked out over the city.

"Ah Roma" Ezio seemed please of his location.

"Yes, or what is left of it.." She spoke softly.

"And the mausoleo?" He asked quickly.

"unfortunately you cannot see it from here." Unfortunately indeed she thought.

"How about from the top of that church?" He was being curious and maybe that would slow him down enough for her to catch him after he left and she could ready herself.

"Yes, But the stairs up are closed." She smirked inwardly knowing that would slow him down giving her more time.

"That should not be a problem. Vi ringrazio di tutto quello che avete fatto, per me, Addio." (I: Thank you for everything you did for me, good woman, good bye." Ezio spoke ever so softly before taking her hand and kissing her fingers lightly. Gabriela blushed slightly by the sudden charm he had. She quickly brushed it aside and gave him a gentle nod.

Gabriela stood watching him leave before she returned back in to her house She shut before she quickly closed her curtain and moved to the Armour in the room. Throwing the doors open she pulled out her robes and started to change in to the robes piece by piece after removing her dress.

She pulled on a pair of tight fit black pants that she quickly tucked in to a pair of thigh high brown riding boots. After getting the pants just right in the boots she puled the boot laces tight and tied them down before she grabbed white tunic and pulled in on over her head. It was followed by a sleeveless white doublet with a hood, trimmed and lined with a smoke gray, that reached down to her knees. Once she was sure her top was set she picked up a dark brown cincher and buckled it tightly. She finished off outfit with a red and gold sash and her assassin A upside down holding tight to the sash.

She reached back in to the Armour and pulled out the rest of her supplies. She reached around placing throwing knives in to the loops of her cincher. She then tied belt to her waist under the sash and that held a small sideways sheathed dagger at her lower. Checking everything over one last time she quickly slide on set of braces then her gloves. She looked over her braces each plated with a metal lion on the backs, the turned her fore right arm up and looked over a small mechanism on it.

The mechanism was hand crafted and defiantly one of a kind. It looked like a half of a mini canon on her arm with a metal loop hanging out the end of it. She took the loop and flexed her arm before pulling hard the loop came out along with a few feet of what looked to be a shiny cord with a release of the loop and a second flex the cord zipped back in to the mini canon,loop still hanging out.. With a simple smirk she reached back and braided her hair quickly then pulled her hood up over her head, letting her face disappear in to the shadow it cast. She head to the door as she finished the last part of her change, she pulled her long braided hair through a small hole in the base of the hood.

She was ready to leave and hunt her prey down. Given the time it took for her to change and get ready she knew she would have to look for him. The best kind of a prey is the kind you have to hunt and stalk for a while, and that makes the kill much more satisfying. Now the hunt was on, she was hunting him and he was hunting her before he even realized he was.

She was out the door and looked around scanning the area before she walked to the church. She looked up and saw nothing then continued around then down a path. She headed straight to the Mausoleo not letting anything get in her way. She kept her feet on the ground and head down while she slipped in and out of the crowds. She need to get to the mausoleo as quickly as possible not sure how far of a head start he got.

When she turned the corner in to the area of the mausoleo she saw a man dressed in a red and back doublet and black pants and boots. His hair was cut close to his head and he held an aura of danger around him. She narrowed her emerald green eyes and quickly moved to hide behind the corner to watch him. He was defiantly Machiavelli and he was a dangerous man and alley to Ezio. She nodded as she reached to her arm pulling the loop on her right wrist. She would remove him from the list of problem that plaques her family.

She took a step out and stopped as she heard a clatter from the roof tiles above. Stepping back in to the shadows she saw Ezio drop down and walk over to the man. She growled knowing she couldn't take them both on and live to take both out. She kept to the shadows and waited and watched until they started to walk off. She followed in the shadows making sure to keep from their line of sight. Unable to get to close she couldn't hear their whispered talk she continued to follow them.

She was able to quickly climb on to an over pass they went under and slipped to the edge on the other side to see if she could get anything important out of them. Lucky for her they stopped right under where she was standing and spoke. Well complained in Ezio's case.

"Should we not travel by horse? Roma is quite large." Ezio commented out.

"As Cesare's conquest in Romagna counties to succeed and the Borgia grown in power they have taken desirable ares of the city for themselves. We cannot use the stables here." Niccolo spoke with a bitter tone about the area around them. Gabriela frown trying to think of what he men Cesare was making Roma better wasn't he?

"oh, the will of the Borgia is law now?" Ezio spat out.

"What are you implying Ezio" Niccolo snapped back defensively

"Do not Play dumb with me, Machiavelli." Ezio's tone got dark as though eh didn't like what was going on.

"You think you can fix the problem then go be my guest!" Machiavelli spat out then leaned back against the wall as Ezio stalked off.

Gabriela watched Ezio as he walked away then disappeared through an archway. She couldn't move with out Machiavelli seeing her or possibly losing the two later. She crouched down behind the rail of the over hang and waited a moment longer. She heard screams and saw a few people running away from the arch way Ezio went in to. A few moment later she saw him coming out and walking back under the over hang.

"Just because you kill a few guards does not mean the people will grant you access to the stables." Niccolo was right people have been scared in to following the Borgia rules.

"You are right. We need to send a signal." Ezio seemed to be thinking and that was something Gabriela was wondering would be a bad thing. "Wait here."

Ezio walked away then disappeared in to the arch once more. Gabriela stood up and narrowed her eyes watching the area closely. She saw him climbing up the side o the tower. She watched until he reached the top. She was curious to what he was doing as he held a lit torch in his hand as he moved out on to a hawk perch. Her eyes widened as he dove off with the torch in hand still and the tower erupted in to flames behind him. Gabriela was shocked as she fell to the ground watching the tower burn before hearing Machiavelli under her once more.

"It seems the Stable is now available for purchase." HE has a bit of mirth in his tone.

"After you" Ezio's deep voice was dark yet sounded amused by his deed.

They waked to the closed down stable and handed the owner a bag of money before they each took a horse and rode off at an easy trot. Gabriela watched them and took to the streets behind them. She ran from spot to spot following them as quickly as she could with out stirring suspicion. She stopped seeing a pickpocket peering around a corner like he was ready to attack. She slipped up to him and quickly and grabbed his arm pulling him back and covering his mouth.

"Shut up and listen. I want you to steal the money from the man in the white hood over there on the horse." She uncovered his mouth reaching down and pulled out a small pouch from her doublet and handed it to him "There is twenty florins there for trying, if you succeed you can keep what ever you get from him. GO NOW!"

Gabriela let the man go and he took off running right by Ezio and snatching his coin purse on the way by. She waited a till Ezio got down and started after the man and Machiavelli rode off with the two horses chuckling. She took this chance to chase after Ezio and make her strike.

She followed him as fast as she could and they soon entered the poor district at the southern edge of the city. She took up to the lower one story roofs and got in front of the pickpocket and assassin. She stopped and pulled her cord from her right wrist and waiting as the thief came near he smirked seeing her thinking she would help him. He was sadly mistaken.

She pull enough cord for a good amount of slack then threw her left arm out as her was about to pass her the cord around this throat. She leaned slightly and held tight to the cord and pulled. The thief was clothes lined with the cord and his feet came out from under him before he fell on to his back gasping for air. Letting the cord go it zipped back to its holder and she quickly took the money from his hands including the money she gave him.

"Stupid, uneducated pig. To bad you learned to late." She stood up hearing a loud thump land near. Turning slightly she saw Ezio standing on the same roof.

"Merda (I; Shit)." Ezio hissed slightly obviously having other plans when he caught the guy. He walked over and knelt down murmuring softly closing the thief's eyes. "Requiescat in Pace"

Gabriela pulled her blade from behind her back and put it to the back of Ezio's neck Ezio froze slightly as he felt the blade. He slowly moved to stand up putting both his hands up showing a sign of surrender and he wasn't going to harm her.

"No need to blades, bella donna(I: beautiful woman)." Ezio was not one for harming women and he didn't plan to start.

"Silencio! (S: Silence.}. You killed my father" She growled. "Prepare to die."

She brought her blade back to strike but got nothing but air. Ezio dove forward and looked back to her before quickly taking to a higher roof. She ran to follow and Ezio ran. She never believed him to be such a coward to run away from a fight.

"Madonna, I would love to stick and fight but I have a thing against fighting women. You see I rather love them then fight them." He called back before climbing to a higher roof.

"YOU BASTARDI! (I: Bastard}" She became enraged as he refused to fight her and followed him. "You think me weak?"

They ran across roof top quickly slowly getting higher with out her realizing. He was surprised how persistent she was and found he need to make a quick escape. He moved closer to the edge of the roof running till he saw a large cart about 50 feet down full of hay. He with out even hesitating dove off the roof top aiming for the cart before tumbling to his back and landing. Climb out of the cart he looked up to see her slide across the roof and slide off even before twisting like a cat to grab the edge quickly.

"Scusi, madonna (I: excuse me, my woman) but I have an appointment." He turned and left quickly heading where she did not know.

"Culo. Volver AQUI(S; Ass. Come back here!}" She screamed out as she hung from the ledge pulling herself back up. Once she was up she looked back growling as she crawled to the middle of the roof and did not move. Now that her rage was over she found she was in the middle of a very high roof and found herself to scared to move. "That bastard. I will get him once I get down from here."

The night had fallen during their chase and she had lost both of the men that harassed her family. She would not go back to Rodrigo unless she had Ezio's head for him. As of right now she could not go back till she could get off this godforsaken roof and to safe ground and how ever long that took she wasn't sure but for now she would sit and wait.

Horrible ending to this chapter, I just couldn't get it the way I pictured it in my head but that is as close as I could get to what I wanted. Till next time Adios and Addio! And don't forget to review.
