Disclaim: I Do NOT Own Assassin's Creed or Altair…I only own Christine and Father Micheal
Chapter 4
Father Micheal walked up the spiral stairs to where Altair was staying. He walked in the room and Altair looked at him.
"Altair,"
Altair was confused. He didn't understand how the priest knew him.
Father Micheal looked a little surprised.
"Altair, I'm hurt. You don't remember me?"
Altair really looked at the priest.
Altair's eye widen we he finally realized who the priest was.
"Micheal? Brother Micheal?"
Father Micheal smiled.
"I'm glad you remember."
"We thought you were dead."
"Everyone did."
"You've been here the entire time?"
"Yes,"
"We needed you."
Father Micheal shook his head.
"Altair, let's not discuss this right now. I don't want Christine to hear."
"Does she know anything about your past?"
"No, she and Father Nicholas took me in and I've been here ever since then. I took over the responsibilities of the church ever since Father Nicholas passed."
"Why didn't you at least tell us that you were alive?"
"I thought it was for the best."
Altair shook his head.
"You should've told us."
Father Micheal shook his head. He knew it was useless to argue with Altair.
"We'll discuss this later. Right now, I need to check on your stitches."
Altair sat up, but the argument wasn't over. He was going to get some answers.
Christine sat on the front pew in the church. She looked at the figure of Christ hanging on the cross. Ever since she came to the church she was always taught to love God and keep her body pure for Him, but it was becoming difficult with the stranger around.
She didn't know his name, but his golden eyes were making her fall into lust and temptation.
She was just wondering if Father Micheal had noticed how she was acting toward the stranger.
"Christine,"
She looked over her shoulder.
It was Father Leonardo!
She smiled and turned her attention back to the figurine of Christ on the cross.
"Hello, Father."
He walked over to her and sat next to her.
"Is something wrong?"
She shook her head.
"Nothing, Father."
He shook his head.
"I know you better than that, Christine. Now what is wrong?"
She let out a deep sigh. She folded her hands and rested them on top of her lap.
"Father, does God forgive us of all our sins?"
He smiled.
"That's why he died."
Father Leonardo placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Why do you ask? Did something happen?"
She shook her head.
"I'm not sure what to say."
"Well, try."
She shrugged her shoulders.
"A man has captured my attention."
She looked at Father Leonardo. His face was emotion less.
"You know you're vows to God Christine. If you break those vows, there is no turning back."
She shook her head.
"Father, I will never turn against my vows. I can't."
Father Leonardo understood Christine's feelings. She was a young woman who desired a man's touch. She had needs as well.
"Christine,"
Her eyes locked with his'.
"You've always had me there to say no for you, but you are old enough to make your own decisions. No matter what path you seek, it will change your life forever."
She gave a small nod.
He was right. The elders over her were very wise. Father Leonardo was one of those wise men. She gave a small nod.
"Thank you, Father."
"Of course, my dear."
She stood up and gave a small nod of her head, before she walked out of the sanctuary.
Father Leonardo watched her leave.
Father Leonardo turned back to the figurine of Christ on the cross. He shook his head.
"Please, Father, help her choose the right path."
The last thing the fathers wanted was Christine to make the wrong decision and have a man break her heart.
