Own Nothing.

I understand that I skipped a bit, but understand, the story has the same underlying theme of the movie, so I'm just writing out certain scenes. Thanks

Chapter Seven.


They quietly made their way into the city after they trek from the Temple. They had finished burying the killed men last night and started traveling in the early morning, making it into the city of Alamut by a few hours past high noon. They had placed the horses in anther part of the city and made their way through it. Hermione led the way, she remained quiet again which was beginning to annoy Dastan.

She stopped and asked a young boy a question, and he took her hand and led them around the corner. They stopped across the dirt road from a house. He ran across without them and knocked on the door. He waited and then was allowed in by a woman. A few minutes later he came back out, running back over to them. Taking Hermione's hand again leading them to the house.

It was hard to get the small group of people into the house without being noticed, but once in, Hermione and Dastan took off their head dresses. "Hermione?" Came a woman's voice from the back. The four of them stood in silence as the woman came forward, dressed in white silk. "Hermione is that you?"

"Oh Tamina." Hermione ran and gave her cousin a hug, tears falling. "I'm sorry," Pulling away to wipe her tears. "I'm so sorry. I tried to take it back to the Temple but we were attacked and they took it."

"I know, word has spread that the Dagger has returned to Alamut. I feared that you were not alive. But I am glad to see that you are." Tamina hugged Hermione again, kissing her forehead.

"Wait a minute." They pulled away to look at Dastan, Hermione's breath caught in her throat at his look. "Who are you?" He pointed to Tamina.

"My name is Tamina, I am the Princess of Alamut. Persian." She sneered the last part.

"Then who are you?" He pointed to Hermione.

"I'm her cousin, Hermione." She took a deep breath. "When we saw that you were attacking the walls of Alamut, I took her place, so that she wouldn't be taken. We are the Guardians of the Dagger and we have to protect it at all costs."

"So you've been lying to me the whole time?" He asked, his voice rising.

"You will not speak to her that way." Tamina ordered. "She did was she did to protect the secret of Alamut."

He turned back to her. "You're the 'she' she's always talking about. The woman."

"I am what?" Tamina turned to Hermione.

"Okay, listen. We can get angry about this later. Dastan's Uncle is going to use the Dagger and we must stop him." Hermione looked around at everyone. "Let's just focus."

"But how can I trust you now?" Dastan asked, his voice filled with venom.

Hermione just stared at him, eyebrow raised. "If I remembered it Prince Dastan, you never did trust me. And that's fine. Because once this is all over, I'll be able to go home. And we don't have to worry about each other." She turned and walked further into the house, leaving him.

"What?" Dastan asked to no one in particular.

"My cousin Hermione came here because her home was under attack, under siege, she's hoping that after months of being gone, she can return home." Tamina answered, before turning to walk further into the house. "You'll need lunch before going after the Dagger. They say a demon watches over it, no man can step close to it, for he wields flying daggers." She walked further into the house.

The tall black man of their party glances at the other two. "Some men, don't need to get close." Shrugging, he walked about Tamina and Hermione.
