Chapter 2: I Thought You Were Dead

March 5th 1770

~Olivia/Connor is aged: 15 or 14 (Let's pretend she is 15 ok?)~

(Girl On Fire- Alicia Keys)

I was carefully brushing my little girl Melody, she was calm and steady making me smile. "You like that don't you girl?" I ask her and as if she understood she moved her head with a bob. "A beautiful black stallion you are," I say and she shakes her head happily. I remembered the day I got her...It was two days after the death of those innocent people from the village. When they were burned down...

~Olivia's Birthday two days after the burning village incident~

Sitting in my room bored, Daddy said he would be back in a minute, after closing the shop. He knew I was scared to be on my own because I would break down crying. I screamed in sadness over the deaths of the innocent. I mourned for them, sad that we didn't do anything or should I say...Couldn't. It was too late.

Today was my birthday, I turned 6 and felt alone, miserable...depressed. I felt the pain in my chest, the weakening in my bones and knew that I missed them. Who knew less than a day could change someone? Could make them feel this way? Then again...they died and they were nice people. I then felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I barely felt anything these days, all it was the feeling of pure numbness.

I looked up, turning my burning gaze that could of made holes in the window and stared into the eyes of my father. "Sweetie, why don't you come down? Uncle Haytham says he will be here shortly," he tells me and I stare into his dark blue eyes. His blonde hair was turning slightly white, but I guess it was just age and stress. I nod before he moves to sit on my bed. Our home is big enough because of my Uncle's money to support. Then again...I'm 'his little girl'.

I sigh looking down at my hands. "Darling, I know you miss those people from the fire, but you need to cheer up. It's in the past and...It's your birthday. Come down when you're ready, I have a surprise for you and I hope you like it," he tells me with a soft smile on his lips, got up and placed a kiss atop my head. Daddy had stopped drinking the moment he saw me come home two days ago. Uncle explained what happened, but I told him the part I didn't tell anyone else.

I told him about Ratonhnhaké:ton and his village. Uncle swore he wouldn't take me anywhere like that again but asked if he could train me when I was old enough. After a lot of arguing they agreed because uncle said it was 'to protect myself when the time came'. I sat still, relishing in the feeling of nothing. That was until I heard my door open again. Footsteps heavy on the floor.

"Daddy, I'm not ready just yet," I sigh out and I hear a familiar chuckle. "Olive, I know I'm your god-daddy but it doesn't mean that you can now call me 'daddy'," he says with a chuckle. I look up to the recognisable face. The wrinkles around the eyes made me side smile at him. "Now what is getting my little girl sad on her birthday?" he asks and I just look out the window. "It's just...never mind," I say shaking my head.

He ran his fingers down my shoulder length hair, I was wearing my light green dress that Daddy bought me yesterday. He said it was beautiful against my skin. My hair was straight but with two braids from the sides of my face were joined together, going to the back of my head. It reached my shoulders aswell, but the rest of my hair was down. Daddy said I looked sweet. "Ahhh. You're thinking about the village fire incident," he says causing my head to whip up to look at him.

(Breath me- Sia)

I was surprised, my eyes wide and mouth open. "How did you know?" I ask him and he smiles sadly. "I'm your god-father. I know everything," he tells me and sits down on my bed. He lies back and lifts his feet up, opening his arms wide motioning for me to go over. I bit my lip, fiddling with my fingers. "Come over here," he says with a gentle chuckle. I get up off my chair, sat down and lied on my side, staring up at him as he wrapped his arms around me.

"Now, I know you miss the people you met that day...but today it's your day. Enjoy it sweetheart, this will be the last time you turn 6," he tells me and I giggle. He gives my nose an Eskimo kiss, this made me laugh. He pulled me up onto his stomach, before getting up and lifting me into the air. He threw me, catching me and it made me squeal. "I swear you'll be the death of me," he says and I frown.

Gently touching his cheeks, I look down at him sadly with tears in the corner of my eyes. "I don't want you to die Uncle Kenway," I told him with a tremble of my bottom lip. He frowns at me, kissing my cheek. "I'll won't die, I promise you this," he tells me softly and slowly lowers me back to the floor. He carefully holds my hand, opens the door and lets go.

"Shall we go down and begin your birthday celebration madam?" he asks with a bow and motioning to the door, his hand open with his palm facing me. "Yes we shall kind Sir," I say before holding his hand again. "That's my girl," he chuckles out before we rush down the stairs. When we reached the bottom of the stairs, Pitcairn and father were down in the dinning room. "Happy birthday Olivia," Johnathan says with a soft smile.

"Thank you," I reply before I walked over to the table where I saw 5 presents. Father handed me a box which I believe was his present to me. "This is from me," he says with a soft smile. "Thank you Daddy," I tell him before I opened it. When I looked inside I smiled what I found was a beautiful blue dress. One that I admired yesterday while me and daddy went shopping. "It's beautiful Daddy! Thank you," I tell him and he smiles before I give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Here is the second from me," he says handing me another box. This time I opened it only to find a cute little jewelry box, it was in scripted with my initials. Flowers covered it and emeralds covered the middle where pollination takes place. "I love it, thank you so much Daddy!" I say giving him a hug. "Here Olivia, this is from me," Pitcairn says handing me a box next to him.

It contained a cute set of bows, ribbons and other hair accessories. "Thank you Mister Pitcairn," I tell him with a little curtsey and a small hug after. "Your welcome spud," he replies with a little smile. Uncle Haytham walked over to stand in front of me. "Here, this is from me," he says handing me a little box. I opened it only to find a small music box that needed a key. The key was equally as small. Just as I opened it, I turned the key and opened the lid.

(Halo- Beyonce)

What I found was me, Uncle Haytham, Daddy and Mummy spinning. We were all joined at the hands, while the soft melody escaped such a small beauty. "Thank you uncle," I say hugging him tight. This was the most beautiful thing I have seen in my life. It was going to be treasured for the rest of my life. "Now, open this box and well...I hope you like it," Haytham says passing me the last box in my hands.

When I opened it, I was confused when I found that it was empty except for a piece of paper. I read it my eyebrows moulding together in pure confinement. "What do you mean that it is 'too big to place in a box'?" I ask him and he smiles down at me. "Come with me, it will explain why," he says getting up off his seat and holding his hand out for me. I took it gladly, while we walked out the back and gasped when I saw a cute black baby stallion.

"Is that?..." I ask completely entranced with the beauty in front of me, she was so small and adorable. "She is your present, the reason I left the day of the village," he tells me letting me rush over to her. I stroked her fine hair, the horse neighed in a high pitched tone. She moved her head closer to me, clearly enjoying me stroking her making me giggle. "What shall we call her?" Uncle asks me amusement in his eyes. "I think she should be called...Melody," I say happily and he strokes Melody with me. "Melody...I like it," he says with a smile on his face.

"Come on, lets go eat some cake shall we? Soon Pitcairn will teach you how to ride her," he tells me holding his hand out to me again. I grab it gladly, waving goodbye to Melody and entered the house, a spring in my step...

~Back to the present~

"Mistress Worthington! Mistress Worthington!" Jeremy called for me, he is a servant that uncle Haytham bought for us. He is a nice asset to the group. "Your father wants you inside, he says Master Haytham is here and that they want you," he tells me causing me to nod. I pull away from my stallion and head to the house, picking up my light red dress. "I wonder what they want," I tell him a little exasperated.

When I entered the house, I noticed that they were calmly talking amongst themselves. "Olivia, I have a present for you and also...You will be training today with me," Uncle Haytham says handing me box and a kiss on the cheek. "I swear you get more beautiful by the day," Haytham tells me with a sigh, earning him a nod from my father. "The carriage will be here in an hour, so I suggest you get cleaned and meet me by the docks...Oh and put those robes on," he says pointing to the box in my hands.

I opened it up, pulling out the heavy robes. "What is this for?" I ask him confused and he smiles a little. "As of today, you will be a Templar apprentice." With this he leaves me with a kiss on the cheek. I go upstairs to get ready, having a bath and when I got out I put on my robes. I wore the long blue coat that touched my knees. A blue three pointed hat and black trousers. The edges of my coat and hat was lined with gold. The cuffs were white aswell, making everything seem more masculine. Instead of having a shirt: I had a white corset, it wasn't too tight but it was fitting.

(Your Song- Ellie Goulding)

I smiled at this, feeling feminine yet masculine at the same time. (Imagine it's Connor's captain outfit except more feminine with the corset instead of the top) I then heard my father call for me, making me rush to put on my brown leather boots. I rushed to the door but was surprised to see my father holding a sword he hasn't used in years. It was in perfect shape but he said he would never use it unless he needed protection. It was a prized possession.

I looked at him shocked. "Father? I..." I didn't know what to ask or say to him. "Here take it, you'll need it especially for training," he says with a sad smile. He was always afraid I might come home injured or something. It was natural instinct for him to feel afraid for my safety. "Thank you Father, I will treasure this," I tell him with a bow to my head and gently take it from his waiting hands. I stare at the beautiful sword, a little emerald at the tip of the handle.

The reflection hit my face, stunning me for a moment. I placed it on the belt's holding for a sword and smiled softly at him. "Goodbye papa, I'll be back soon," I tell him and he kisses my forehead lightly. "Come home safe, be carefull and be nice to your uncle," he tells me sternly. "Aren't I always?" I ask him with a giggle and he gently places his hand on the small of my back. "You better get going, he is waiting for you," he tells me and I smile. "See you soon father," I tell him with a kiss on his cheek.

I head out, walking to the carriage and Adam was waiting for me. When he saw me exit, he got down and opened the door gesturing for me to enter. "Good morning 'mam" he says with a bow of his head. "Good morning Adam," I say getting in and sitting down. He shuts the door behind me and I look to my father who stood there watching me. I waved to him, knowing it would be the last time he saw me as his 'little child' because I would be a Templar apprentice.

I never learned what a Templar was, or what they did and what they fought for. All I know is they fight, train, charm and are always at their best. These are all qualities my uncle showed me. We traveled in silence, I had just stared out the window and felt myself relax. When we stopped in the center of Boston, I deliberated because I was about to open the door. That was a huge 'no-no' to my uncle.

(Miss Independent- Kelly Clarkson)

As Adam opened the door for me, I stepped out that was when I noticed a carriage parked opposite me. There was a young boy, around my age with a braid in his hair that was shoulder-length. He stood next to an old-crippled man. The young boy reminded me of someone. A sudden pang thumped in my chest and it made me momentarily freeze. Ratonhnhaké:ton? I shook my head. No he died remember? I looked at the native boy, walking away from him as he watched me walk past them.

"Don't stare," the old man says hitting him with the stick. "Sorry...I just have this feeling that I know her," native boy says to the old man. "Wouldn't surprise me, your father lives here," the old man tells the boy I feel myself get confused and just walk away. Completely not bothered about them. When I reached the dock, I smiled at my uncle who was prepared to fight. "Well...you took your time," he remarks with a smirk. "It was difficult to put on these robes," I tell him honestly and he just smiles.

"I see you have your father's sword," he says while I pulled it out. "As you have yours old man," I say with a little smirk. "Ouch, that hurt. You are a vile child you know that?" he says as he pulled out his own. We started sparing, I was good but he was always one step ahead of me. "Two questions...one: why is today so special when I've been training since I was 9? Secondly: why are we training in front of the public?," I ask him and he chuckles.

He swings, but I dodge it and counter it perfectly. "To answer your first question: I think the fact you are now a Templar apprentice is special enough so you need to dress as it. Secondly: Today we are going to train with our surroundings, don't be afraid to throw crates or use dry soil," he tells me and I laugh. "So if I do this..." I say while I kicked a table topped with crates and aimed a high kick at him "It's ok?" I ask with a giggle.

He was disoriented for a moment, before he picked his senses up and kicked me to the ground. I tumbled before he could place the blade to my throat, I kipped up and grabbed him from behind. My hands held his throat, confusing him: I kicked him to the ground and straddled his chest, placing my dagger to his throat. "This is why i'm proud of you," he tells me a smile on his face. "I guess I had a good teacher," I tell him with a smirk. I get up holding a hand out to him.

People around us clap their hands and cheer for me. "Well played Olive," he says with a smile. We bend over picking up our hats, placing them on our heads I smile. "Stand still," he tells me and I obey. He walks behind me, I had my dagger ready just in case and surprisingly his hands moved in front of my face. He was holding a necklace with a red cross, I saw this symbol multiple times and knew it was a Templar mark.

"Welcome, my apprentice," he says and I smile. "Wait, not yet..." he says while holding my arms out and places these long cuff like things on my forearms. "These are hidden blades, one flick of your wrists and they pop out," he tells me and I smile. "They are essential," he explains. "Thank you Uncle Kenway," I tell him and he smiles softly. "Master Kenway, the others are calling for you," Adam says to Haytham interupting us. "Alright, I'll be there in a moment," he says to Adam.

"Darling, I'll be back soon alright. Our training is short today so...I suggest you head home. Adam escort my niece back to the homestead," he tells Adam and he nods. "Of course Sir," he replies and Uncle leaves me with a kiss to the cheek and I sensed something was wrong. Especially since he went running off. "Shall we head to the carriage Miss?" he asks me and I just shake my head. "Wait for me there, I'll be there shortly, I just need to go do some shopping," I tell him just to get him away.

"As you wish," he says before heading off. I could still see my uncle, instead I rushed trailing behind him. This was something he taught me, I did it rather well and when he would look to see if someone followed I hid. We ended up on Kings Street and he talked to someone rather intently. I hid as well as I could, that was until I saw the chaos around me. Citizens were being held back by red coats. I noticed the old man and native boy were there. They were in a serious conversation.

(Princess of China- Coldplay ft Rihanna)

His features were familiar, that was when I noticed his faded freckles and familiar eyes. My eyes widened. "Ratonhnhaké:ton" I whispered surprised. A sense of happiness overwhelmed my body and I smiled. I was going to say hello, until I saw my uncle look behind and hid on a bench. I blended in with the other two men, surprised he didn't notice. When he turned his back, I noticed him and his companion separated. Ratonhnhaké:ton followed the mysterious man, while I watched my Uncle.

Soon the man Ratonhnhaké:ton followed was on a roof, and that was when I noticed Charles was on a roof aswell. Just as the man pointed a gun at the citizens below, I noticed Ratonhnhaké:ton follow behind him. He grabbed the man and sliced his neck. Next thing I know everything went downhill. Charles shot his gun, looking at Ratonhnhaké:ton smugly and this caused the redcoats to fire at the citizens. What surprised me was Uncle Haytham tapped a red coat's shoulder and pointed at Ratonhnhaké:ton who was in shock.

Soon red coats followed after him rushing down the streets and small alleyways. I rushed to find him, to somehow protect him. Now that I found him: I wouldn't lose him. Just as he was stuck at an almost dead end, I stabbed a red coat in the back and this caused the other to see me. He scraped my shoulder, causing it to bleed and I winced before I killed him. Ratonhnhaké:ton was rushing to this corner, just as he was close enough: I grabbed him and he groaned. We wrestled a little before I held my dagger at his neck.

"Ratonhnhaké:ton! I thought you were dead" I say a smile clear on my face. A moment he couldn't recognise me, until his eyes lit up. "Olivia!" he says and we pull each other into a hug. "Look, we haven't got much time. Meet me in Lexington at noon. You have 2 minutes to get out of here. Dive into the water, hide as far away as you can. I'll distract them. Now go!" I say before I push him and he starts running again. I rush to where the red coats rushed past. I screamed, stumbling to them. "Help!" I scream as they ran towards me. "This native boy, I tried to stop him and he got me!" I say showing them my cut.

Suddenly Uncle Haytham was there in a flash. "Olivia? I thought I told you to go home?!" he questions and I sigh. "I know uncle, I'm sorry please help me. The savage hurt me look, also he broke my new outfit!" I screech and the red coats all start to run looking for him again. As Haytham pulled me away from all the chaos, I rushed to get home and sort myself out before I saw Ratonhnhaké:ton later on tonight...
