Alone For Now
Disclaimer: I do not own any characters from Assassin's Creed, but my own OCs.
Author's Note: So the decision is final, Christine will be a White-Tailed Eagle. And sorry for the confusion of Christine and Christina, I was watching Phantom of the Opera when I began writing this story. If I remember correctly, Christina is only mentioned once or twice in the next few chapters. And the chapter is going to be short, but the other ones are still over 1,000 words. And I had to update this chapter because, and thank you Birdy Man, there were parts where random words came into play. I am sorry and this is the updated one.
Chapter Four
Ezio entered the brothel and he notice how his sister acted a bit strange coming downstairs.
"Ezio, where is father and the boys?" Claudia asked, almost like she was thinking of a scheme to get him back.
"I couldn't save them on time. But I am going after Uberto when I have a chance." Fire burned in his eyes.
A woman was coming down with his mother and when he finally saw her face, he was struck how beautiful Christine Neumann looked.
"She heard of father and asked to join us. I think she should, but it's all up to you."
If it was fully my decision, he thought, I would send her away. But he couldn't blame how her hair was golden in the light with her expressive eyes. She seemed older, but she answered him by saying in Italiani, "Sixteen."
"Cosa*?"
"I'm sixteen, since you must be wondering about my age." Christine let out a sigh and then she noticed that dawn was approaching, but she didn't care. Something about being around Ezio made her forget the world.
"You're a year older than Claudia, but seems to look younger than you do." Ezio grabbed her arm and turned her around. When she noticed his eyes twinkling with possible mischief, Claudia saved her and told her fratello, "Leave Christine alone, Ezio. She's had enough trouble for one day. And Christina told us that Christine the Eagle took off."
Christine left and was happy that Claudia made up an excuse for her to change into her eagle form and came back.
Oo
Ezio had Christine the Eagle on his shoulder as he went to get revenge on Uberto. It was all he could think about. Christine let out a small cry and went airborne to find food. Ezio was glad Paola helped him out with learning to blend into his surroundings and pickpocketing. At least Claudia doesn't need to learn that stuff anytime soon.
He heard an exclaim from a boy who was not even older than Petruccio called out to see the young eagle gliding up ahead to where she saw Uberto and while gliding, she dived to just climb up her gliding some more.
Oo
Christine didn't know what to do; she was a damn eagle for all she cared! But she wanted to go with Ezio, even began acting like a loon just to go. Now, here she was, gliding on the wind, knowing that if she can, help Ezio find his targets. She found Uberto, and while letting herself fall, let out a tortured cry and climbed back up to have someone try to assault her!
When catching sight of Ezio coming her way, she decided to have a group of guards chase her, but allowing them to still see her. She was caught, but it was the last person she would think could do that; Vieri di Pazzi.
"Did she attack you?"
"Si, messer. Thinking of turning her into a stew."
"Have you not notice that the eagle is so very different from the eagles here? How she isn't afraid of humans?"
"No, messer. Are you going to give her to us?"
"No, I'm going to keep her for my collection." with a smile that turned her blood to ice. Biting him, she escaped, but without not leaving unhurt. Her wing was bleeding again and crashed outside Paola's brothel. Claudia was out in the garden when she saw Christine.
"Christine!" Claudia exclaimed, and Christine was swallowed in darkness.
