I do not own any Assassin's Creed characters but I do own Moira Haywood!
The look on Kaylock's face was not a pretty sight to look at. Moira thought he looked like a boiled cabbage with beady blue eyes in a black Templar coat. Still, she wasn't sure what he was capable of or what he knew.
"So you are the ones who have taken out my men," Kaylock said as he glared at both Assassins, "I'm guessing that you are after the rest of Whitechapel."
"And the rest of London," Moira added, matching his intense look.
"All right, if it's a fight you want, then it is a fight you will get," Kaylock grunted while crossing his arms, "We will meet at the Whitechapel station before sunset and settle this."
"And if we win, then we will take control of Whitechapel," Jacob replied, "And your Blighters will work for us."
"And if I win, you will pay with your lives," Kaylock threatened.
The Assassin's didn't falter from the thug's intimidation. They knew that they could easily take him down without much of a fight. Once both parties had agreed, they parted ways. Jacob and Moira had gone back to Henry's shop to tell Evie and Henry about what had happened with Kaylock. As Henry heard their story, he knew that drastic measures had to be taken into consideration. He walked over to an armoire then grabbed something from a shelf. He brought back some weapons wrapped in canvas like sheets. He placed them on his desk and unwrapped the string that bound the material only to reveal kukri blades. He handed one to Evie, Moira and Jacob to which Jacob grabbed it and nearly salivated at it.
"What's this, Greenie? Assassin Christmas?" Jacob asked who was literally acting like a child on Christmas.
"Make sure that you gather all of your allies," Henry warned Jacob, "you will need them. If he wanted to, he could vanish before your very eyes."
"Don't worry. We'll make him vanish for real," Jacob said as he slid his kukri blade onto a belt loop then looked at Moira, "Let's get everything we need together."
Moira nodded in agreement and both of them were off. Since Jacob was able to conquer a lot of the different districts in Whitechapel, he had quite an amount of people joining the Rooks. A lot of the Rooks she had met were nice and greeted her with open arms. Once they had everything and everyone together, they began to make their way towards Whitechapel station where Kaylock was waiting for them. Moira was looking at her new kukri blade that Henry gave her.
"Moira," Jacob spoke up softly.
She glanced over at Jacob who was walking alongside her, "Yes, Jacob?"
"I know that you wanted to marry sometime within the month but with how things are turning out now..." Jacob trailed off.
He could feel her hand slip into his and intertwine their fingers. She squeezed his hand gently to give him reassurance.
"Jacob, you know that I understand how much this means to the people of London... to you," Moira said, "and even to me. We can put our plans on hold until we can rise above Starrick's iron fist."
He smiled and softly kissed the top of her head, "I promise to give you the best day ever."
"As long as I'm with you, I'll be happy," Moira replied as she set her head on his shoulder.
She could feel the stubble of his beard against her head which only made her giggle, "The feeling is mutual, darling."
They kept their hands linked while making their way to the train station. This was their first step in getting their foot through the door of liberation. Once they arrived, the rules had been laid out on both ends. Kaylock also offered up his train hideout in addition to giving up his Blighters. After everything was established, all hell had broken loose. Blighters attacked left and right towards the assassins but some Rooks began to back them up. Rain soon began to pour from the sky, making everything slick and wet. The rain couldn't ruin this, Moira wanted to put her new kukri to the test against the large brutes. She dodged fists and kicks while slashing with her kukri blade. She could hear the train begin to take off, making her whirl around to see Kaylock's train leaving. She looked around for Jacob then saw him fighting off a Blighter.
"Jacob!" Moira shouted to him and thankfully grabbed his attention, "Kaylock is getting away!"
Jacob turned his vision to see the train was leaving then looked back at Moira who was defending herself, "Will you be all right?!"
Moira growled and pushed back the Blighter before sinking her blade into his skull, "I'm fine! Just go!"
He knew that she could hold her own and dashed off towards the train. Rain pounded against him almost at full force but it couldn't slow him down. He could feel his adrenaline catch up to him as he found himself jumping onto the end of the train. Hoisting himself up, he ran along the roof of the train car. Of course, Blighters accompanied Kaylock which was not going to make this easy for Jacob. He was up for a challenge though and grabbed his kukri blade. The bone headed thugs ran towards Jacob but he dodged their hands. Grabbing the collar of one burly man, Jacob headbutted him which knocked the man off the train. The other Blighter tried to grab him from behind but Jacob dodged him and elbowed him in the face. He took his kukri and slit the man's throat. He looked to see that it was just him and Kaylock now. Briskly walking towards the Templar, Jacob was ready to end this fight once and for all.
Kaylock pulled out his pistol and aimed it Jacob but Jacob knocked it out of his hands. The Templar and the Assassin went hand to hand but Jacob had the advantage since he would brawl in his free time. Though Kaylock had managed to get a few hits in, Jacob stunned him enough to slice his throat with his hidden blade. Kaylock reached for his throat as he felt himself choking on his blood. He then fell off of the moving train to the mud and rocks below. Jacob looked down to see that Kaylock had dropped some kind of hook. Picking up the device and pocketing it, he then reached the conductor and made him stop the train. Once the train was stopped, in the distance he could see Moira and Evie making their way down the tracks. He thanked the Lord above that they were both safe. They also now had a train that could be used for a hideout. Once the two female assassins approached the train, they entered to see a heavyset woman sitting at a desk with a look of despair on her face.
"I'm not going to make Bertha go another mile for that bastard," the woman said in a thick Scottish accent.
"Kaylock has been derailed," Moira replied.
The woman turned to look at the three Assassins, "and who are you three?"
"I'm Evie Frye. This is my brother Jacob and his fiancee, Moira Haywood," Evie introduced to the woman.
"Pleased ta meet ya," the woman replied, "I'm Agnes MacBean. So, I guess that I am out of work right now since Kaylock is gone."
"You can come work for us," Evie said almost too quickly.
Agnes looked back at the three of them, "Will ye at least pay better than scraps?"
"We'll do better than that," Jacob said reassuringly.
"Then may I present to ye Agnes and Bertha," Agnes said proudly while standing up, "Woman and locomotive at your service. See this train as you fit and make yourselves at home."
"Thank you so much," Moira thanked with a relieved sigh.
"A train hideout. What a grand idea," Evie said happily, "The possibilities of what we can do here."
Evie then looked at her brother who was looking at some kind of device. She rolled her eyes since her brother was not listening to her yet again, "Jacob, this is serious."
Jacob looked over at Evie then back at the device, "I am not doing anything else until I get this thing fixed."
"Maybe Mr. Green may know someone who can help us," Evie piped up.
"Which can wait until tomorrow," Moira groaned while stretching, "I'm ready for some sleep."
"That's not a bad idea at all," Jacob replied placing the hook onto the desk.
"We should all get some rest. It has been a long day," Evie replied then headed towards the other car with Agnes, "Goodnight, you two. We'll see you in the morning."
Once Agnes and Evie left the car, Jacob and Moira began to get ready for much needed sleep. Moira slipped off her coat and rubbed her shoulder. It's been awhile since she has fought like that and left her sore. She felt Jacob begin to rub her shoulders, making her even sleepier and more relaxed. He then led her over to a decent sized plush couch. Tossing his hat onto the safe next to couch, Jacob layed back with sigh. Grasping Moira's hand, he brought her to lay on top of him to which Moira gladly accepted. Letting out a soft groan, she rest her head on Jacob's chest, hearing his heart beat softly in his strong chest. Jacob wrapped his arms securely around her while setting his head on top of hers, letting out a yawn. Moira smiled gently and nuzzled his chest only to hear Jacob begin to snore a little. Moira closed her blue eyes and knew that this was the start of her new life with Jacob.
A/N: Sorry that this was kinda short but I have big plans for the rest of this story!
