Chapter 6
I was soon drawn from my thoughts about the pass when I had realized that I was only stood on the ground, my hands at my side with Ezio in front of me. His hands were on my shoulders like he had been shaking me. I looked up at him confused before he said "Hoshi? Are you alright...?" "Y-Yea...Why? What happened?" I asked, a little more confused than earlier "You jumped up into the air, landed then went off into a trance. You've been like that the last ten minutes..." Ezio replied, looking at me a little worried but I just brushed it off with a "Yea! I'm fine! Never better!" as I grinned up at him hopping to prove a point which he seemed to buy. "Alright...Sooo...Can I re-do this fight please?" Mario just nodded.
I was in front of the man again, this time getting into a defensive position. Right when I leapt forward, my fist nearly colliding with the man's jaw a flash of the twins in some sort of prison went through my mind as Sasha screamed out a "Hoshi! Please save us!" then she was slapped hard across the face. I let out a scream, breaking the image into shards as I took off running towards the South, Roy had ran out of the mansion, following shortly behind me. "H-Hey! Wait! Hoshi!" Ezio yelled out, mounted his horse and followed Roy and myself, Mario behind Ezio. An arm reached down, scooping me up as I fought against it but soon allowed myself to be seated on the horse with Ezio's arms around me, holding onto the rains. "What happened? The moment you screamed Roy yelled...Hoshi...I worried...Tell me..." Ezio said, sounded a little frightened. "I-I don't know...Shawn and Sasha...They're in some sort of prison...I can feel it..." I mumbled out as Ezio just nodded a bit. I looked over to Roy to see him on Mario's horse with Mario, Roy in front.
"Let me take the rains Ezio...Please...I need to get there...You still got my katana?" I asked "Fine...but yea...I got them" Ezio answered as he let me take the rains. The moment my hands wrapped around them I looked to Roy and he just nodded. With a sharp whistle from both of us the horses speed increased to twice the speed they were going at. Ezio wrapped his arms around my waist, making sure he didn't fall off.
