GeneralWildfire: as for the cliffhangers MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA hee hee.


Last time on Path of Faith... I am simply shrugging at this since I have no flipping clue if this would work or not I am just spit balling but if Grandpa Jack always used butter knife then why can't we. My hand starts to shake as I bring the knife up and place it in the key hole. When I had the knife at least an inch or more in we heard a tell-tale click.

We get up off the floor and just stand there looking at the trunk. I scarcely breathe as I reach down to open the trunk and look inside to find.

Now...

A crisp white satin sheet with a red with a black outlined a strange symbol covering the items inside. Desmond and I looked at each other as we recognize our grandmother's embrodery stich, it is recognizable by the seed or "forbidden" stitch that she would mix with the Pekinese stitch both would strain the eyes of the maker.

"Wow just what I always wanted," Alex says sarcastically happy as she looks in the trunk and runs her fingers along the symbol. Desmond and I start to chuckle as I start to slowly lift up the sheet to reveal three changes of robes, and sitting on top is a letter that is yellow with age.

I pick up the letter and noticed the strange symbol was on the wax seal on the back of the letter. I open the envelope with a shaking hand and pull out the letter that looks slightly less yellow then the rest of it. I start to read it out loud as it says,

"My Dearest Grandchildren,

To survive this long in our line of work is truly a miraical in on its' self. I put up a good front with my children and the people around me into believing that I was a simple farmer. Alas I wish that was the case, for I am more than that, and at the same time I am less. Best I must tell you and your cousin now Jayda, rather than have your lives taken away from you when you never had training. When Desmond was born I was surprised at the way he reacted to the world, and then when you were born I saw you and wrote this letter. You and Desmond are the last in our family to possess the traits of the Assassin Order.

After the Revolutionary war the Templars went underground and became the Freemasons, while us Assassins disappeared and remained hidden to this day. I am or was by the time you read this the Master Assassin of our whole Assassin order. All of the other Order bases are gone now we have been hiding for so long that it has slowly died away. That is before I saw you and Desmond, Jayda, you Desmond and your friend are the key to bringing back the Assassin Order to its fullest, and stop the Templars. We have been Assassins for as long as anyone can remember we are here to keep order and peace in the world. We also protect the Seven Pieces of Eden and I promise to explain more when you get to Grizzly Peak in Colorado. There is a safe house there. Be careful, take the trunk with you and above all tell no one about the Assassin Order.

Desmond, Jayda, and Alex, Be careful

~Signed Grandpa Jack"

Alex is the first to respond after a few seconds of silence, "THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED, sure creepy that he knew my name before you and I even meant. Also I have never met him before, so it makes him sound like a stalker, but, so FUCKING COOL at the same time. AND we are bad ass Assassins!"

I just look at my friend who I now think is a few colors short of the rainbow, before I say, "This this can't be fucking true it sounds so... so ... out there. Grandpa Jack... us... Assassins? No I just can't believe it." Desmond is taking longer to respond as he is staring at the letter still in my hand.

"We need to go to Grizzly Peak. Jay if Grandpa really wanted us to do this we should go. And plus prove to ourselves that he was not crazy." Desmond says with his voice confident but his face betraying him. "Desmond does have a point if he really wanted us to go then we go but, well what you say Jay we have enough saved to go." Alex says to me as she gets up and stands by Desmond.

I look at them hoping they were kidding, I was starting my new job soon and Alex, Desmond, and I were planning a trip to Disney World next month. "Ok there is apparently no reason to rush over right away. So let's think about it tonight and decide tomorrow. We can't be rash about something we don't understand, I still say it sounds crazy and I am not fully convinced." I say as I am looking between Alex and Desmond. The duo nods at me and we put everything back in the trunk and lock it again, then we start to make our way to the couch for a night of mild silence and deep thinking.

~FF to 12:30 a.m. and 3 pizzas and 7 cases of Mountain Dew later~

Desmond is up playing Assassin's Creed and Alex is on deck to play, we were still thinking about the letter and silently I find it ironic that we were playing the video game when our lives just turned into one it seems. I am about to reach for yet another Mountain Dew, when the phone starts to ring. I get up to answer it and walking over I am now starting to wonder who would be calling at this time in the morning. As I pick up the phone the caller i.d. flashes a blocked call, and it is causing me to be on edge. I push talk say, "Hello, Caslin and Levine residence who are you calling for?" The voice was gruff and sounded like it was meant for a horror movie instantly sends chills up my spin when they say, "The Assassins will be no more." Then the phone goes dead in my hang causing me to panic.

I spin around on my heels and face my friends who are now looking at me with worried looks on their faces and all I say to them is, "We gotta go!"
