Chapter 6: How More Over Protective Can You Get? Seriously...

Isabella's POV

I open my mouth to defend myself when Altair approaches but he signals me to be silent. He mouthed the words listen "Listen."
I looked at him confused and did as he asked and I heard Desmond's voice outside the door.
"Where do you think your going Angelo?"
I arched an eyebrow in confusion at Altair and he gestured me to come over.
"We know you like him.." He whispered in my ear. I shivered slightly but I nodded.
"So we wanted to test him... You seemed a bit busy so we had a little time to prepare." I could hear Angelo mumbling something to Desmond.
"How?" I asked quietly. He put a hand on my shoulder and squeezed it gently.
"Listen and learn how a master does it." He replied. So I became quiet and listened.
"Angelo you should know that me and the guys won't let her go easy. We all discussed it after that incident and we came to a conclusion." Angelo snorted at the reply and then snapped at him.
"You think that you can keep lovers apart? That won't be as easy as you think!" If I could see his face I think it would be a snarl.
"We won't dream of it. Why the sudden interest though? Is it because she has power and influence? She has been promised to another man. One more worthy than you." I looked at Altair.
"When did Desmond learn to act?" Altair snorted softly and replied "He can't, Ezio was taught, his voice is a little off. Nothing Angelo will pick up."
I really wanted to see what he was wearing so he could see it wasn't Desmond. Probably his white hoodie and his blue jeans with his hood pulled up, if he was acting he probably had a really laid back and relaxed stance with his arms folding and his head lowered slightly so his glare was more piercing. It was the look Desmond had given me when I had been out and doing my own personal training for too long. My first reaction to that if I could see it would be a laugh, it had happened the first time I had seen it. Silence was there for a moment and then a fierce edge crept into his tone.

"You think that all those years ago when I kissed her was a mistake? I loved her and she loves me. Her fighting today was fierce and elegant the way I always see her. Her silky black hair danced with her and her brown eyes were vibrant and looked like she was just dancing with the one she loved. Her personality is strange from the girls I am used to facing but it makes her more adorable than she was. She gave me a lust to be with her before she received her title. I want to dance with her and I think she will with me. Who is this man? She doesn't know anyway well enough expect me or the guys. So tell me Desmond, who is she promised to? I will argue valiantly to be the only one who wins her heart."
I felt a single tear roll down my cheek as his words and arguments touched my heart. He was standing up for me, nothing a guy who had ever liked me had done. It was strange of me to be described like that though, I was just an ordinary girl that could some seriously ass. Nothing unusual expect the ass-kicking. I heard Ezio chuckled in an evil way but it sounded to much like him but Angelo didn't seem to notice.

"You waste your breath Angelo. The man she was promised was very firm and he won't let her go without a proper fight, with swords, to the death. Would you agree to those terms with 'your love' watching you succeed or fail?" I glanced at Altair who shook his head. He gestured at my bag and made a gesture that was strange but I understood what he meant. I opened my bag quietly and I gave the replica to Altair. It pulse gently when it touched his palm but it dimmed after a moment and he put it in his pocket.
"Can you play along? I need to pretend you are a prisoner. I won't hurt you though, I might need to make it look threatening and realistic though. Okay?" I nodded at him and he drew a dagger and gestured at the door, we waited until the time was right I suppose.

"I accept the terms, no matter who I fight. I know I shall succeed and I will spare there life. Who is it? I wanted to know so I can arrange a duel with them." Angelo said, the anger was creeping slightly out of his tone but wasn't completely. Altair grabbed my waist tightly and pressed the dagger to my throat and said "Scream. The students will be kept back by Desmond." I nodded and did as asked, I took a breath and screamed as Altair opened the door with me. I struggled half hearted in his grip but once he held tighter I started to struggle more.
"I was chosen Angelo. We decide right here, right now who gets calm over our girl."
I could see the slight tremble in Angelo's arm as he drew a dagger and got in a defensive position. I tried to call out but it ended up as a strangled yelp when Altair nearly dug the dagger into my throat. Angelo turned around briefly, concern on his features and I tried to warn him when Ezio was right behind him but to no avail until, he suddenly whipped around and parried Ezios's dagger with a lot of force. Ezio's dagger nearly flew out of his hand but he somehow managed to hold it. Ezio was on the defensive, letting Angelo give him a nick or two here and there but usually dodged. I could see where Ezio purposely stepped in front of a strike but Angelo seemed to angry to notice he was being toyed with, what I assumed was being toyed with anyway. Altair's grip loosened but I didn't move. Ezio's then suddenly went from the defensive to a pummelling offensive. Angelo only just managed to fend him off, just only.
"Angelo!" My voice croaked from the pressure from the dagger and I wanted to see if he would fight harder top try 'free' and he did. He seemed to now be Ezio's match. They parried and blocked each others attacked and there stances looked alike.
"We have the replica for a reason. When it happens do and do not fret. I can save him with my knowledge of the real apple." He whispered into my ear gently. He moved his arm from my waist and put it into his pocket and nodded at Ezio. Then Ezio did something I could never expect. No matter how much I was prepared for it.

Ezio danced out of Angelo's reached and spun around him in mid-swing and stabbed him in the gut and twisted. I cried out and rushed over as Angelo hit the floor. Ezio was stood casually behind him, carefully wiping the dagger clean. I nearly lunged out at him but I turned my attention to Angelo.
"Angelo. Angelo? Angelo!" I shook him and then heard a raspy breath come out of his mouth.
"Isabella. How...?"
"Shhh. Its okay. I am here now. I heard all those sweet things you said. Were they true? Did you really mean it?"
He nodded his head and held his gut while blood continued to pour out of it. I was going to attack Ezio the moment I was on my feet and I knew it.
"I love you Isabella. The first day we meet remember. I -" he coughed and then started to choke slightly but managed to get it out.
"I was following you because you were the most beautiful girl I had laid eyes on. Your black hair looked like silk, your eyes looked like a angel , you voice was constantly tinged with happiness even though I sensed you had walked away from a dire scene. The way you walked was confident and independent. I was wondering if you had the power to sprout wings and fly back to the heavens you came from. You were perfect." He coughed again more violently. I definitely was going to make Ezio do more than that. He rasped a breath into his throat.
"You were shy and seemed startled by my aggressiveness and kissed me. Too say I was shocked was an understatement." He coughed again and I felt tears come into my eyes. I made my fingers lock into his again. I lay beside him on the floor, his blood reaching my hair. I knew I couldn't help and I knew it was hopeless to try, so I sat and listened to his dying words.
"You were soft and gentle. You are soft and gentle. Your appearance never mattered to me. I was hoping someday to have your child, and compliment and comfort you when you thought you were ugly and fat. I wanted to be there every step of the way." He coughed again and his whole body shuddered. I saw Altair walk close with a replica but I growled at him. He stood next to Ezio who was watching the scene and listening.
"You always will be." I whispered and squeezed his hands. He tried to chuckle but it made him cough so he stopped and then weakly squeezed back. The tears flew down my face freely and mixed into his blood. He leaned close to me and said
"Will you grant a dying man. One last kiss?"
"You're not dying. You can't. You won't. I won't let you. I shall grant your request though." I snapped and then my tone grew gentle.
"Can you give me my last kiss?" His body was slumping and he even had to work hard to keep his hands in my grip. I leant forward towards him and I kissed him gently on his lips. After a couple of seconds I moved back and then he weakly breathed "Thank you." His body stopped and his hands slumped in mine. Altair approached and I let him. To angry to think clearly and I picked up Angelo's dagger and inspected while Altair leant down next to him. Murmuring something. I didn't even care. I was looking and slowly drawing my dagger alone the edge. Waiting for my victim to take the bait.

Ezio was stood about 10 paces away before he dared to asked anything but he still did.
"Isabella what are you doing with that dagger?" He asked curiously, his accent now dripping into his words. I murmured darkly under my breath and then I looked at the dagger tip and then him.
"I am imagining carving you face into a flower with this knife." He opened his mouth to retort but I was too quick and I had jumped forward and tackled him to the ground and sent us rolling on the stone. When we stopped I was on top and I was gently caressing his neck with the knife, he wouldn't move if he knew what was good for him, which was rather unfortunate that he did. I looked him in the eye and then nonchalantly said "What is your favourite flower Ezio? Or do you know any nice looking one?" He blinked and said someone I didn't recognise, for some reason it gave me pause and I looked at him confused. I didn't really react when he managed to push me off him and pinned me to the floor. My vision just turned black without my saying so.

Altair POV

"Someone who was half you age managed to tackle you and pin you to the floor with just a knife and I saved your arse with the replica? How did you become a master assassin?" Ezio gently picked up Isabella and replied.
"I have many skills but she was caressing my throat with a knife so I didn't feel tempted to use my skills to get out of that mess. Can you heal him? I feel really bad about it." Ezio went into Isabella's room and put her in her bed while I managed to use the replica to heal the boy in front of me.

"I think they both passed." Ezio remarked sourly in front of me. I scoffed and then said "You get a gold metal for working that out Ezio! Well Done!" I gently picked up Angelo and threw the replica to Ezio.
"Put that in Isabella's bag and can you clean up this mess while I take the boy to his room?" He nodded and came out of the room as I headed down to Angelo's quarters. I opened it, nothing out of the ordinary. I put him down on the bed and pulled a note out of my robe and placed it on the nightstand next to me and I turned to walk out. I nearly jumped out of my skin when he began to snore, he was really loud and then it became soft and quiet. That's pretty good considering he just died. I walked down the corridor and headed back to Ezio.

A/N: Isabella is gonna be pissed. Ezio should watch his back xD Hahahaha I am evil to make the guys over protective aren't I ? I am. Her new little family. That's how you know when love is real, well family love is over protectiveness and love, love is when you are willing to fight honourable to free your woman from another grip. I think it is nearly time for another time-skip! Well about 2 more chapters maybe. Depends if I can think of an idea for the next one after the next one. Okay that should give you all an headache. I thought it would be awesome to test 'commitment' but Isabella attacking Ezio wasn't in the plan, as you can tell.

I know I said I wouldn't do an other POV unless it was Angelo or Isabella. It had to happen though. I think it might have to happen when I put this twist I got planned.

VampireVampyre: Thank You very much! Your adivce and praise in your pms are very welcome as your reviews as well :D
