I woke to find Ezio gone, with a note scribbled hastily by my side.
Borgia tower, west side of Roma, meet me there.
Ezio A.
I crumpled the letter and threw it in the fire, and pulled on my robes as fast as I could, I finally was infiltrating a Borgia controlled area with Ezio. I lept out the window and whistled for my horse, I mounted quickly and rode off to the outer gates of Rome.
Every time I rode through the city, it always took me aback how next to no one noticed a woman riding a horse, adorned in strange robes, armor, and various weapons. I spurred my horse since Ezio was waiting for me.
It took me several hours to reach the area Ezio was talking about. I dismounted my horse and climbed a nearby roof, I scanned the area, I had never been so grateful for eagle vision in my life. There were red flags everywhere, Ezio was no where to be seen, I shook my head to get rid of eagle vision, then I let out a screech much like a hawk and lept from the rooftop and landing in a pile of leaves swept up from the street. I stood up out of the pile and sat on the half wall and waited for a signal to start infiltration.
I finally heard a signal when night fell, I got up and scaled the walls towards the rooftops I stood atop a roof and saw Ezio on the other side of the Borgia controlled area, I saw his head nod for the go-ahead.
I sprinted to the edge and dropped below me were four Borgia guards, I unsheathed my blades and let them pierce the necks of two killing them, I then sprinted up to the brutish guard and stabbed him from behind.
"ASSASSINO! Get him!" I heard the last guard shout, I ran at him and grabbed the front of his leather chest guard, tilted my head at him, "Brûle en enfer branleur." I laughed I pulled him close kissed him and stabbed him. I threw him off my blade and spun around, throwing knives at the two advancing guards. I sprinted towards the tower and saw the captain, I ran faster than my legs could carry me, jumped and caught the captain, tackling him, I pulled him up with me and threw him into a loose scaffolding, killing him. I signaled Ezio to light the tower, but he walked up behind me covered in scrapes, blood, bruises, and dirt. So was I, he smiled and wiped some of the blood from my face, "The honour is all yours bella signora." he smirked. I bowed low and climbed the tower, reaching the top I found a torch, foolish of them to leave flames near something so easily flammable such as gunpowder. I threw the torch down and lept from the tower, Ezio pulled me from the hay and wiped me off.
He wrapped his arms around my waist, "You were fantastico Aigle." he whispered and hugged me. I wish we could have stayed there forever frozen together. He pulled away, "I must go, the Borgia's have Caterina Sforza and I have to help her."
I nodded, "Go my love, I'll clear away more Borgia areas." and we went our separate ways for the first time in months.
I ended up clearing out several Borgia controlled areas while Ezio was gone. That day I cleared 3 more areas, then I went to a hideout and stayed there for a few weeks while clearing away more Borgia areas. After I cleared several areas I decided it was time to go back to the main den. I had been gone a month now and hadn't seen or heard hell or highwater about Ezio, I wasn't worried, he was a skilled assassin and an intelligent man, albiet reckless but intelligent, he was safe, I was sure of it.
I reached the Den the next day, there I was greeted by an assassin with a letter for me, it was in my fathers hand, my heart started beating a million miles a minute, I grabbed the letter and swung off my horse, I tucked the letter into my robe and climbed up into Ezio's room. Thankfully it was empty, I sighed and opened my fathers letter. I sat down on the unmade bed and read the letter.
Aigle,
I will be coming to Roma at the end of the month to hear Ezio's full proposal.
Abélard
I dropped the letter onto the bed, my breathing became sporadic, my father would be here soon, my arse of a brother was still here as well, and Ezio was not here. I hoped he came back soon, if my father was kept waiting for too long he wouldn't consider Ezio's proposal at all, he was a stubborn man, I doubted even if Ezio himself could convince him at all.
Days passed, neither my father nor Ezio were here, La Volpe told me that Ezio was looting shrines of the followers of Brutus in search of new armour. I prayed that my father wouldn't come until the end of next month, I was so scared.
My prayers were answered that night when Ezio returned on a cart full of Leonardo's paintings he had taken from Lucrezia Borgia, he told me of his hilarious seduction of her and how he actually tied her up and escaped with the paintings. I told him of my father coming to Roma, he let his hands slide from my shoulders to my hands and he held my hands lightly in his, "It will be alright." He smiled as he kissed me. I pulled away smiling when suddenly I heard angry shouts coming from inside the Den and growing louder.
"I KNEW it! I Fucking knew it! You La putain de ta race! Petite pute! I knew you were fucking each other! Tu es un putain! I cannot believe you would even do that! Va te faire foutre!" my brother screamed at me. I cowered on the ground as he towered over me shouting abuse, Ezio was composed as ever trying to calm my brother down, my brother started to throw punches at Ezio and continued to shout, now directing his abuse at him, "How DARE you defile my sister? She is only un bebé!"
"Thats Enough!" Ezio shouted and punched my brother square in the jaw several times, knocking him out.
