Okay, this chapter is a little short, but i promise to try and write longer chapters soon :3
Disclaimer: I do not own Assassin's Creed or anything in the games, Ubisoft does.
The rhythmic pattern of Ezio's walking calmed down Christine's raging mind. There wasn't anything she could do in a situation like this. Sighing in defeat, Christine settled on watching the ground in front of her face, or what she thought was the ground. The space they were walking in looked to be like the loading screen in the Assassin Creed games. It was an endless white that didn't have a clear definition of the direction they were heading. Occasional speedy white data lines zipped by the motley group, but no one seemed to care. Sighing again Christine lost interest in the ground, and settled on the defined ass of Ezio. She was slugged over his shoulder in a boring environment, what else was there to do? The assassin's clothing clung tightly to the curve of his backside, and the movement of his walking soon hypnotized her into a semi-conscious state. Not realizing what she was doing, her hands slowly crept down his back and hovered over his rump. Apparently Christine's luck wasn't that great today, because just as she was about to pull back, Ezio decided to readjust her body on his shoulder. The sudden jolt causing her to firmly grab and squeeze his posterior.
"Merda! Mi perdoni madonna, ma ricreazione è tardi" He said slyly. Christine blinked in confusion. She understood him before just fine, why couldn't she understand him now? Flexing her abdominal muscles, she arched her back to turn towards the group.
"Why can't I understand him?" she stated blatantly. Acknowledging her presence, Altair turned to answer her.
نحن نتحدث عن الشيء نفسه كما كنا من قبل. اذا كنت لا تستطيع أن تفهم أنه ليس قلقا لدينا.
he said. Christine blinked in confusion once more. Why couldn't she understand. Turning to her last hope she sent a questioning glance at Desmond. Catching her stare he walked towards her while readjusting Karoline's body.
"You can't understand them because your . . . uh, hrmm powers don't work in here." He shifted around nervously while waiting for a reply.
"Powers? Like get up and suddenly fly and shoot lazer beams out of my eyes?"
"No, it's like . . . uh, never mind. You'll find out soon enough." With that he walked away with the unconscious Karoline. Settling down on her transport once more, she decided to take a nap to regain some energy.

Christine opened her eyes to find herself once again in her little dream world. The two of the three doors just waiting to be opened. Out of habit she walked over to the third door, that she never opened, to see if anything had changed. When she stood in front of it, she immediately noticed that something was different. Testing her luck she reached for the door knob. The cool feeling of metal greeting her fingers, she got a tight grip on the handle and turned it. Shoving the door open as fast as she could, she looked inside. All she could see was darkness, yet brightness. It wasn't the type of blackness that you couldn't see in, but the kind that seems dark yet you can see just as clear as if it were lighted. Daring to take a step forward, Christine slowly made her way into the room. Her progress continued until she was about five feet inside the room, where the door suddenly slammed shut. Having a moment of panic Christine whirled around to look at the door only to see the start of her problems standing right there.
"What do you want Altair? I thought you didn't want to deal with me." Christine said cockily. The only response she got though was a hardened glare that instantly shut her up. Standing as still as she could, she held eye contact with him until he made his first move. In a silent understanding of what she was waiting for, Altair began to stalk towards her. The beating of her heart got faster and faster the closer he approached. Holding her breath as he bent down to her face level, he finally spoke.
"Stay out of the shadows woman. Do not fear the darkness, but what lurks within the darkness instead. Remember these words and speak them to any brethren who you need help from; Nothing is true, Everything is permitted. Only seek out the brethren if you are in extreme danger." With that said, he turned and walked away into the darkness. Watching his figure slowly disappear into the blackness, Christine thought about what he said.
"Shadows? Within the darkness? Since when did Altair speak in riddles!" Christine grumbled. Groaning she decided that she had had enough of this crazy place, and set out to look for the exit. Wandering around aimlessly, she looked everywhere she could. It was much harder to find a door when there were no walls to follow. Feeling tired and defeated, Christine opted to take a quick rest. She may be in her dream world, but she could still get tired mentally. She could feel the slow forming pain of a head ache coming on as well. Unceremoniously falling to the floor, Christine slowly closed her eyes and willed her head ache to go away. Not prevailing, she opened her eyes to find herself in the foyer with the three doors again. "Wha- how did I get in here?" Christine exasperated. Her head was pounding now from all the events of the day. Crying out in pain as the head ache forced her eyes close again. Christine curled up into a ball and sobbed quietly. Wishing that when she woke up, that everything would be better.
"Madonna, madonna!" a booming voice echoing loudly off the walls of the foyer. Moaning in pain at the volume of the voice. "Alzati, abbiamo quasi arrivati a destinazione." Crawling to a standing position, Christine closed her eyes and focused on waking up.

"Christine, are you okay? You don't look so good." A now very awake Karoline said. Rubbing the sides of her head soothingly, Christine tried to numb some of the pain away.
"Yeah, I-I'm fine. Just a head ache" Christine said softly.
"Are you sure? You're crying you know," Karoline stated worriedly. Looking at her in confusion Christine rubbed her eyes and found that they were surrounded in shed and unshed tears. Quickly wiping them away Christine put on a big smile.
"Yeah I'm sure. I must have had gotten something in my eye while I was sleeping." Christine answered quickly. Not really believing her answer, Karoline just shrugged and readjusted herself on Desmond's shoulder.
"We have arrived." Altair's husky voice sounded over the group. Christine silently glad she could understand him again. Turning her head she was welcomed with an interesting sight.
Merda! mi perdoni Madonna, ma possiamo giocare più tardi - Shit! Pardon me lady, but we can play later
نحن نتحدث عن الشيء نفسه كما كنا من قبل. اذا كنت لا تستطيع أن تفهم أنه ليس قلقا لدينا.
We are talking the same as before. If you cannot understand that is not our concern
Madonna, madonna! - lady. lady!
Alzati, abbiamo quasi arrivati a destinazione - Get up, we have almost arrived at our destination.
