Sorry for the late update! My mom activated the Windows Parental Control, so the updates will be very rare from now on. I'm sooooooo sorry! Anyways, I hope you like this chapter and thank you for the review(s).
They woke up early in the morning. Grinning, they exchange one glance and jumped off their beds. The twins dressed themselves and brushed their hair. Instead of putting it into the short ponytails, though, they didn't tie it at all.
Today was a special day; it was their day. The seventh July. They unlocked the mansion-like house and freed the ravens. The birds immediately perched themselves on the girls' shoulders. After that, they fed once more the cat, Lucifer. The same goes to Cas and Gabe (Okay, so they did watch a bit too much Supernatural, so what?), the ravens.
A cake they had baked the day before was waiting on the table, a mount of wrapped presents besides it. They were always there, some the twins offered each other, the rest… well, they just were there. Giggling like maniacs, Layala and Afya sat down and picked up two gifts. Together they gently unwrapped them, and took the objects from their cases:
-I can't believe we had two hidden blades made.-said the younger one.
-Yeah, I mean, the guy must think we're crazy.
They strapped the blades to their wrists. Half a year ago, on February, they had contacted a weapon merchant in Germany and ordered two Hidden Blades. The guy had reluctantly agreed, after them showing the *fake* legal authorization. They had arrived by mail the previous month, and the girls saved them for their birthday.
That was not the only extravagant present they got for themselves. On the back of the property, a newly built parkour terrain was waiting for them, with hideouts, climbing walls, fountains… (And they still said they weren't rich). And after three years of lessons for both, they were ready to try it out… Altair style.
The rest of the gifts were regular presents from… someone. Like shirts, jeans, hoodies, necklaces… etc. The sisters didn't waste any time. They ate some cake, put it away and went upstairs to pack two bags:
-Okay… so, if we were sent into Assassin's Creed 1, what would we take? – Layalla asked out loud.
- Um, rope? - asked Afya.
-Change of clothes!
-?
-What?
-… nothing.
- Well, anyways, we should take some provisions, nylon rope, as you said, our weapons, -she meant the HB and the swords from last year, - um,… I don't know.
-We'll just pack the essential.
That done, they left the house, Cas and Gabe still on their shoulders. They readied their horses and galloped to the parkour site. In their opinion, it was really beautiful. It resembled all of the cities AC 1 had. They found the "main street" and prepared to race:
-Ready? - asked Afya. The other nodded- Go!
Sprinting to the closest building they gripped one of the windows, climbing the side of the construction. On the rooftop, looking around, they saw stacks of hay and even a little roof garden. Quickly they took off again, trying to beat each other to the tallest tower. The tower itself was, at least, 15 meters tall and had a lot of hay around its base.
The girls quickly climbed the "view point". At the top, the both stopped and stared at each other. Panting, they smiled, and balanced themselves on two poles, poking out of the side of the tower. Counting to three, they simultaneously jumped. During their fall, the turned and fell back-first in two separate hay stacks. They both laughed hard after that, after performing their first, real Leap of Faith.
The rest of the day was spent exploring the area. They catalogued the sectors, and compared t hem to the original cities. Sector one to seven were a match to Masyaf, eight to fourteen, to Jerusalem, and so on. Most of the buildings were just empty shells, but a few had beds inside, if it was too late to go home. Like today.
The horses were trained not to travel by night. And it was already dark. Layala and Afya found one of the bunkers and entered. They were very tired, not even bothering to wash themselves before they fell asleep on the beds.
Before falling asleep though, they joined hands and wished. They wished very hard. They wanted to go someplace different, someplace new. They wanted to meet their hero, Altair. And somewhere in the Infinite Universe, an incomprehensible entity heard them.
Just ignore the incomprehensible entity. Not part of the plot. Kinda. Tell me if I should continue! Give me ideas if you have any! Please review!
