Remember at the start of this story I said I was running though a building with a present day assassin and one that is supposed to be dead? Yea we finally caught up to where I was when we were fleeing for out lives. Now I am kinda just chilling out floating in limbo that is dream land. Being shot can do that to a girl you know?. The last thing I do remember is seeing a van and running to it, then pain lots and lots pain, then nothing. I just hope I wake up and I am not dead, cause Altair is not the type of person to take a friends death very well, I should know I was him for a while.
"Sarah open your eyes." his voice, It is Altair he is calling to me.
"Don't worry. You should let her rest," Whose voice was that sounded like a woman.
"She is a child of my family, I will worry." He is worried for me aw thanks grandpa Altair. Memo to self try that on him later for fun
"Leave him be Rebecca, I know him well enough to know he is too stubborn to listen when he gets like that." That was that one who saved us what was his name?
"How would you know?" Altair snapped out at him, he is really on edge.
"I just do, got a problem with that?" The man snapped back like he was going to pick a fight.
"Desmond stop harassing your ancestor." a third males voice came in.
"Ancestor?" Altair sounded not confused as much as irritated.
"Desmond is your grandson though many generations from your first son. Like Sarah is as well but her blood stays with the first born Desmond's branches off. So in a sense she is the Main branch of the family while Desmond's off shoot." The man sounded a little pompus, probably the English accent.
"Shut up Shawn." Desmond sounded upset.
I struggled a bit to open my eyes but when I did I found we were in a ware house of some sort. I was laying on what looked to be two sleeping bags and propped up by a few pillows. I looked around the room it was large but they closed in the area with boxes, tables, and computer monitors. I saw a reddish blonde man at one desk working, he must be Shawn, and then the only other girl next to him must be Rebecca. I saw Desmond sitting on an odd looking chair as he sat quietly eating what looked to be some sort of fast food. Then I saw Altair sitting by my feet his hood back and head down.
"Not my fault, you don't know your own family line." Shawn spoke triumphantly.
"Well his line is still better then yours Mr, bookworm." Rebecca teased.
"Will you all quiet down!" A fourth man walked in he looked much older then the rest and very similar to Desmond. "We have a person in need of rest and you are all bickering like children."
"Let them bicker." I spoke up softly making Altair spin quickly before springing up to my side.
"Hey she is is alive!" Rebecca cheered and walked over quickly before checking vitals and other things.
"Thank god, now we can all relax." Shawn muttered walking over. "You had us very worried young lady I hope you are happy.." He gave a playful smile to show he was feigning anger. He cleared his throat and introduced himself and Rebecca. "My name is Shawn and this is Rebecca."
"Yea..." I could really care less on introduction I was in pain and not feeling to hot. "How long was I out for?"
"About a week."Rebecca smiled as she finished up "You hungry?"
"A long week" Shawn walked over to Desmond to grab the bag of food before he ate it all.
"Yea." I tried to sit up but winced till Altair helped."Thanks. I thought my father sent you guys to get me?"
"He did. Once we collected the two of you, we were going to bring you straight to your father. But for a few reasons, we could not." The older man spoke. "Once you are well we will continue our trip."
"Well here you go eat up. I am sure there is something edible in there still." Shawn smiled dropping the bag to my lap. "Get the old man there to eat to. He refused to eat anything we offered him."
"Because I trust you as far as I can throw you."Altair fumed.
I smiled and tipped the bag reaching in to pull out a carton of fries and a burger. Eating junk like this was against mom's rules and she can haunt me for it later but I was starving. I opened the wrapper of the burger and took a large bite out of it, chewed and swallowed. I am sure I barely tasted it but my stomach was screaming at me to eat and that was what I did till I felt full. I sighed heavily and relaxed taking a bottle of water handed over only to chug that just as fast as I ate. During my own feeding I got Altair to eat as well though he was a bit pushed away from the greasy burger but ate it none the less.
The older man just rolled his eyes sitting at his own small desk to work. Rebecca sighed heavily and sat next to me and Altair watching the other two start a squabble out the food being taken away and given to me. It was entertaining to watch as they tried to one up each other and even threaten to fight each other. Altair hummed softly shaking his own head as though this fighting reminded him of his past life once more. Probably the training day with Malik. They used to argue and fight to be better then each other all the time.
"Don't let them to bother you." Rebecca smiled. "They tease and joke each other cause they are friends and it keep the mood lighter. Every so often I throw a joke at them to stir things up see if they notice. Never have."
"Things one does to keep from going insane right?" I looked to her.
"Yea its a good idea to find something. Shawn usually sits doing Sudoku and KenKen puzzles. Desmond got the animus when we have power for it, unlike right now, and he has his game boys. The old man there has his solitair games." Rebecca smiled.
"What do you do?" I questioned.
"I work on baby's systems and listen to music." She smiled. "What do you like to do?"
"I mostly cook and sew. I never had time for a hobby cause of mom, and then the whole Abstergo thing." I thought a bit before looking to Altair as he was now sitting with his eyes closed and head down. "Did he fall asleep? Altair?"
"He has been up almost every night this week. He has been doing a night watch for us so we can all sleep at night." Rebecca gets up grabbing a blanket and draping it over his shoulders. "He says one person up all night while the rest sleep is more efficient then switching like we were."
"Like you were? I know your hiding from Templar but is it really that rough?" I questioned wanting to know what was going on a bit more.
"Well when we have the power Desmond spends all day in the Animus and that gets rough so we let him sleep all night. As for the old man he is out almost all day doing things we need done, like food shopping, info gathering, and communications so he comes back after working 12 hours straight we let him. Where Shawn and I spend most of the day watching Demond run around as his Ancestor and doing research we switch out sleeping back and forth." Rebecca sighs and stretches "I can say I am thankful he took the full night shift watch. I can focus on making work easier and faster for Desmond and the others while Shawn is able to decode things and find things we need with out having to stop in the middle."
"That is good." I smiled and reach up to my shoulder as it started to ache. The bit of commotion when I first woke drew my attention away from the pain and now that it was calming down I am feeling it again.
"Well you just rest up we need you him Traveling state so we can get you to your dear old dad." Rebecca smiles.
"How long will that be?" I asked calmly.
"At least a week, and at most a month. They got you really close to a artery and well we are not doctors and a hospital is a no no for us so we have to spend more time resting after an accident." She hummed and patted my good shoulder. "Do not worry we will be moving before you realize it and will not want to do it."
"Thank you, Rebecca." I smiled to her as he left to go back to work leaving me to rest again..
