The Oddest Day

Chapter 7

She sat alone in a corner listening to the commotion outside where the battle was in full swing . She hated waiting in suspension .It scared her to think that Desmond and the others might be in great trouble .

Her sister Anna wasn't far from her , but she didn't talk to her . Her eyes kept darting from one face to another . Carli didn't know what Anna was thinking . She didn't want to ask either .

A soft sigh escapes her lips as her thoughts turns to Desmond who seemed adamant to have his way with her some time . Oh, she hope he and the others were alright . She didn't want him or them to get hurt or killed ,in that order.

Ezio will keep him safe ,she thinks ,he is the only one wise enough to do that ,well except maybe Connor .She shook her head . No , Connor wasn't wise because he and Altair had temper problems . Yeah, Desmond was arrogant and believed himself untouchable . Maybe it was his ancestry's fault ,but what a heck he was still her one and only love .

A loud booming sound like an explosion reaches her ears . It is so loud it scares the women and children sitting around Carli . The next moment the foundations of the building shook viciously causing sand and debris falling out of the ceiling .

Oh,no!,Carli screams inside her mind ,fearing that the ceiling would fall down on her and the other people . Anna moved nearer to her sister for comfort as she too feared for their lives at that moment . Women and children begun to weep as fear ate at them .

''I should have stayed with Desmond ", Carli says not looking at her sister .

"That would have brought you into more danger than you are now ", Anna says her eyes focusing on Eowyn who had bend down to hug a little girl.

"I'd be safer still and then I could help them fight ".

Anna sighs while shaking her head . She would never understand her sister's stupidity in wanting to be in danger .

''I'd still be safer ….''Carli says again her voice trailing off.

''Desmond! Grab the shield !'',Altair yells .

Desmond who heard him ,but didn't exactly understand what Altair is going on about grabbed the shield .

They were on a staircase on the outside wall of Helms Deep and they were fighting with everything in them .Their girl waited for them . That was all that drove them forward . Desmond who loved her the most was glad that she was safe .

''Follow my lead !''Altair called to him , while he jumped onto the shield using it as a sort of surf board .

Cool, Desmond thought before he himself got onto the board . He with his obviously quick learning skill had this new trick easily under control , while he slashed here and stabbed there .

Meanwhile Ezio and Connor followed Bart around , helping inexperience fighters to kill orcs quickly . They were hell-bent on doing this .

Connor was also keeping an eye out for Eduan because of Anna . He didn't think the stupid curly haired guy could survive this .

Ezio thought of Carli who was safe for now ,yet he understood if they didn't survive this she'd be in a shitload of trouble . Oh I hope we survive for her sake . She's still our girl and she needs us no matter what .

He wished that this whole travelling thing of theirs would come to an end soon . He didn't need this huge problems anymore . Carli would be far more safe if they weren't in trouble so very often.

Slamming his hidden blade into yet another orc he let go of his thoughts . To be distracted by them weren't going to help him one bit .

''I'm not leaving !'', Carli shouts . A soldier had come to tell the women, children and the old people who couldn't fight to flee through the tunnels that lead outside into the mountains .

''Carli, for goodness sake , we need to get out , the keep is obviously overrun ,we must have lost '', Anna tries to reason . It is no use . Carli is determined to stay . For Desmond , Ezio , Altair and Connor . She wasn't going to let her fear of the orcs get in her way ,nor the world that dictated that women was unequal to men and therefore had to do as they were told .

''No , you go if you want to ,but I am not moving from here ''.

Anna sighs then nods ,''Alright , if you stay , so shall I '', she states .

Carli glared at her before shrugging and then nodding . She couldn't fault Anna for that .

Eowyn who had listened to their argument felt a stab of jealousy in her heart . It was because she couldn't do what they were going to . She as the King's niece had no such luxury. Oh, how she wished she could stay too .

Anna sat down again while Carli paced the floor while thinking of a way to get out of the cave to Desmond . She longed to hug and kiss him . She longed to be with him . She didn't get the chance to get out of the cave though because the next thing she knew a bright white light consumed her and Anna and she fell unconscious like always .

Gandalf came as he said he would . He had an army with him . Not just the Rohirim , but also Huorns . The Huorns were trees that moved . They were once ents , but they became treeish . The orcs were slaughtered quickly and victory against them was for certain .

The first thing the assassins , Carli's brothers and Eduan did was go in search for them . They found no one in the caves ,which scared them . They asked Eowyn when she and the other people came back now that the fight was over .

''They stayed here '', she said causing them to worry more than they already did .

Carli where are you? ,Desmond asked even if he knew that she won't answer because she was missing .

A sadness fell over the seven as they realized that something must have happened . Something that they did not perceive .

Carli opens her eyes slowly , blinking at the sudden brightness of the firelight . She groans at the pain of her aching body as she tries sitting up . As she did sounds reached her ears . It was someone screaming someone else's name .

She tried to understand the name , but it was as if her brain didn't register it . She turned her head this way and that and her eyes caught onto an unconscious figure not far from her .

She knew that figure . She knew her as sure as night and day .

Struggling to her feet she stumbled over to the figure unaware that everyone who was near the fire and on a nearby hill was distracted from what they were doing by her . Even the man who was going to drink the blood of the Doppelganger inside the ring of fire . All she saw was the figure .

''Anna !'', she called , her voice a bit hoarse . When she fell down next to her sister she immediately reached out to touch her . To shake her . She wanted her to wake up .

''Anna , wake up please '', she begged unaware that everyone who watched her were shocked because her voice sounded just like the Doppelganger's . ''Anna, you can't leave me , please wake up '', she begged while tears flowed down her cheeks as she shook her .

She didn't see it when one of the people on the hill came towards her to see why she sounded like the Doppelganger . She didn't even hear him approach . She was so engrossed in waking her sister that it was like no other sound mattered ,nor any other person .

It was when a hand touched her shoulder that she became aware of her surroundings . She looked up and the man who was touching her gasped , but before he could say anything someone snapped his neck and knocked out Carli with a blow to the head . She crumpled sprawling over her sister as once again she slipped into unconsciousness.

''We need to find them , we can't just hope that they miraculously appear out of thin air '', Desmond states . He was so not happy that his girl was still missing after two long days .

They were on the road again ,heading to Isengard . Gandalf and Theoden wanted to talk to Saruman for some reason . They were now camping for the night .

''I know , Desmond , but we don't even know what happened to them '', Bart tries reasoning .

''I know that , Bart , but I feel that we must look for them , I can't be without her ,I just can't ''. His voice sounded broken and sad to the others making them sad .

Altair sat staring at the camp fire . He was worried . He didn't find anything that could lead him to her . His Eagle Vision did nothing to help him .Ezio sat next to him writing in a journal . Probably about their failed attempts to locate the Cormac girls .Connor stood stirring the pot of stew he had started making the moment there was a fire .

''We messed up '', Desmond says . ''We messed up BIGTIME ''.

The others couldn't argue with that . The sure did .

She woke up with an aching head in a bed that she knew was definitely not hers . She rubbed her head as she sat up .

''Oh,'' she groaned ''why do I keep getting myself in this kind of trouble ?''.

A soft chuckle from her right made her look that way just to see a raven haired man with eyes blue or green eyes , she wasn't sure , sat in a chair looking at her .

''What's so funny? '', she groans ''I'll show you something to chuckle about ''.

He just smirked and got up stepping towards the bed .

''I don't doubt that , but let's save that for another day '', he says leaning down until his face is inches from hers .

For a moment she stares back at him feeling rather like she could spit at him or bite him . She instantly backed up a little , she didn't like some random guy in her face like this.

''I'm Damon , what's your name ?'', he asked .

''Carli '', she says . Beating around the bush wasn't her style .

''Well , Carli , everyone including the Original Asshole and his brother with the nice hair is waiting downstairs for you to wake up and I'm sure they heard that you're awake right now so you might as well get up , get dressed and come downstairs so we can talk to you ''.

Carli watched him leave before getting up , surprised that she didn't feel dizzy or anything .A pile of clothes that was clearly not hers lay on a dresser . She sighs as she walks over to it while wondering where on earth her assassin robes had walk off to .

Five minutes later she was dressed, in clothes that was a bit too long for her short frame might I add , and she found a brush to brush out the tangles in her hair while she walked downstairs to go hear what the hell these people wanted . And of course to learn who they are .

She found them in a room full of old living room furniture as well as other stuff like cupboards that obviously didn't fit . The place looked dark and dreary from her point of view ,but she said nothing as she stopped brushing her hair to look at the people.

She didn't know them and yet they stared at her as if they knew her .

''She does look like Elena , though she's a bit prettier and she's shorter, like a lot shorter '', a young teenager with brown hair and eyes spoke up .

''Yeah , but what I want to know is who she is '', a blond girl spoke .

Carli frowned at how they seemed to talk about her as if she wasn't in the room so she walks over to the blond and says ''I have a name and it's Carli , I don't know who this Elena is and I don't know why I look like her and frankly I don't care ,but since you people are so rude to talk about me as if I'm some kind of furniture , I'll oblige and tell you who I am and when I'm finished you could tell where the hell I am because the last thing I remember is being inside a cave with my sister , waiting for our brother's and friends to come get us ''. She glared at the girl for a moment before starting of by telling them about the start of her long journey and how she ended up in a cave . She didn't name her friends or her brothers and she only spoke of Skyrim and Middle Earth telling them only bits and pieces of everything that happened . She didn't talk about her relationship with Desmond either because she considered it her privacy . When she finished the people just stared at her not knowing what to tell her or if what she said was the truth .

''Well, ''one of the men , one with dirty blond hair and stormy blue eyes spoke up , ''I guess you had quite the journey , love , but what I can't understand is why you claim that some bright white light always seems to take you to places , I mean who are you kidding , are you sure you have all your screws tightened in your head ?''.

Carli glared at him and opened her mouth to speak when someone spoke behind her ''Damon, Stefan , what's Klause and Elijah doing here and who on earth is she ?''. The voice of the person was almost identical to hers . Carli turned around and gasped .

''Oh, my peanut , this is not good '', she says while staring at the taller girl with her face .

''Who the hell are you ?'', the girl asks .

Carli shrugs ''I could ask you the same , you know, except that I think I already know your name , Elena right?''.

The girl nodded saying ''I would have thought that you are Katherine ,but you're way shorter and your hair are longer than mine and hers ''.

Carli frowned wondering who this Katherine was . Before she can asks another person speaks or rather calls . ''Carli , where on earth are we !''. Not are you okay or anything else . Just that .

Carli didn't mind though . All she did was rush towards her sister calling ''Anna , your alive !''.

Engulfing her in a tight hug Anna couldn't help but smile at her words . ''Of course I am , why wouldn't I be ?''.

Carli said nothing . Just held on tight to her ,never wanting to let go . Ever ….
