A/N: Hey guys! Here's chapter 9! I hope you guys like it. Lets just say that its very eventful and that there may or may not be a kiss scene in there between Ezio and my OC! :)


Previously:

"Wait!" Jace said pulling me too him.

His lips crushed hard against mine. I was so shocked to do anything.

"Hey there you are Arianna, I've been looking for you every-" Ezio didn't finish his sentence he was to shocked (Kind of like me!) to do anything but look at Jace kissing me.


Jace was still kissing me, holding me there. Ezio was stood there speechless. I pushed Jace away from me. I brought my hand up and slapped him around the face. I quickly ran out the room rushing past Ezio. I need to talk to someone. Only one name came to mind. Mario.

I ran as fast as my legs could go to Mario's office. I burst into the room and ran to Mario, I hugged him and broke down. I couldn't keep my tears in any longer. I just had to let them out. He just held me, stroking my hair, whispering comforting things. I knew he wanted to know why I was crying in his arms, so with all the courage I had left I locked back the tears for now. I pushed him away from me slightly and looked towards the floor.

"Jace kissed me. I was too shocked to push him away, then Ezio came in probably wanting to talk to me about something important but then he saw Jace kissing me. He just stood there speechless. I pushed Jace away and slapped him around the face and ran here. Please Mario tell me what to do! I feel so lost!" I babbled whilst crying hysterically.

"Shhh Ari. I want to tell you that everything is going to be okay. But you and I both know that it isn't true." Mario said calmly, staring straight into my eyes.

"The only advice I can give you is that 'in life you always have a choice. Sometimes it's easier to believe that you don't. Some choices are easy. Some… Some stay with you forever.' That's the only advice I can think of at the moment. Just think about it okay?" Mario finished.

I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I turned and looked around. I saw Hodge… I haven't seen him, in what? 2 years. He looks like a ghost.

"Hodge? What are you doing here? How did you get in? Why in hell do you look like that?" I asked.

"I don't have much time here so listen carefully. I have frozen time so Mario won't know that we are having this conversation. Heed these words you'll need them in the near future I hope. 'No young man / women, no matter how great can know his / her destiny. But sometimes you've got to do what you think is right and damn the consequences.' I have seen how much he needs you, and how much you need him." Hodge finished his speech and faded out.

"Wait who is he? What do you mean?" I asked / shouted.

Hodges voice filled my head and said softly, "You'll know in due time child, it has been an honor knowing you. Oh and one last piece of advice. 'Always remember that we all have light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are." With that Hodges voice left my head.

I turned back to Mario and said firmly, "I what to do now, thank you Mario." Flashing him a small smile I left his office.

(Later that night):

I was sitting on the roof looking up at the stars. I started singing a song that fitted my current situation perfectly.

(Take a hint – By Victorious):

Why am I always hit on by the boys I never like

I can always see 'em coming, from the left or from the right

I don't want to be a priss, I'm just try'na be polite

But it always seems to bite me in the-

Ask me for my number, yeah, you put me on the spot

You think that we should hook-up, but I think that we should not

You had me at hello, then you opened up your mouth

And that is when it started going south

Oh!

Get your hands off my hips, 'fore I'll punch you in the lips

Stop your staring at my- Hey!

Take a hint, take a hint

No you can't buy me a drink, let me tell you what I think

I think you could use a mint

Take a hint, take a hint

La, La, La...

T-take a hint, take a hint

La, La, La...

I guess you still don't get it, so let's take it from the top

You asked me what my sign is, and I told you it was Stop

And if I had a dime for every name that you just dropped

You'd be here and I'd be on a yacht

Oh!

Get your hands off my hips, 'fore I'll punch you in the lips

Stop your staring at my- Hey!

Take a hint, take a hint

No you can't buy me a drink, let me tell you what I think

I think you could use a mint

Take a hint, take a hint

La, La, La...

T-take a hint, take a hint

La, La, La...

What about "no" don't you get

So go and tell your friends

I'm not really interested

It's about time that you're leavin'

I'm gonna count to three and

Open my eyes and

You'll be gone

One

Get your hands off my-

Two.

Or I'll punch you in the-

Three.

Stop your staring at my- Hey!

Take a hint, take a hint

I am not your missing link

Let me tell you what I think

I think you could use a mint

Take a hint, take a hint

Take a hint, take a hint

Woah!

Get your hands off my hips, 'fore I'll punch you in the lips

Stop your staring at my- Hey!

Take a hint, take a hint

La, La, La...

T-take a hint, take a hint

La, La, La...

"That song was amazing. It sounds like it fits your situation perfectly." Ezio said seriously from behind me.

"Omg! When in hell did you get here?" I asked.

"Halfway through the song." Ezio automatically replied.

"Er… Well do you want to sit down, look at the stars and talk?" I suggested.

We talked about anything and everything. Then a few hours later the talking had to come to an end.

"… and that's what happened." I finished laughing.

A piece of my hair fell in front of my face. Ezio put the piece of hair back behind my ear. He then placed his hand on cheek and stared into my eyes.

"You know when I first met you I was so annoyed that I would have to look after you and guide you, but now I don't find it annoying. It's like it's my daily routine to look after you. But for the whole of this week my feelings for you have changed. I'm no longer irritated by you. Well I always thought that I was irritated, but I think what I'm trying to say is that I think I'm starting to like you." Ezio said breathing out a sigh.

His face started to get closer to my face. I felt his hot breath right near my lips. I looked in his eyes and I found out that he was staring straight back. He the kissed me lightly on the lips. Of course I kissed back, who wouldn't right?

When we parted we looked back into eachothers eyes and smiled. Ezio then said that we should both head back to bed because it looks like mid-night, so theres like only a few hours left until sunrise.

When I layed down on my bed I actually felt pure bliss. But the funny thing is the feeling of pure bliss only lasts for so long…

(2 days later):

"Hey Ezio can I talk to you… In private for a couple of minuets?" I asked with a slight blush on my cheeks.

"Sure. Is everything okay?" Ezio asked.

"Yes everything's really great actually I just need to tell you something." I said nervously.

"Okay then. What is it you need to tell me then?" Ezio asked curiously.

"Well you know our chat that we had two nights ago on the roof? Well I just need to tell you that… God! This is hard! I'm just going to say it. I return you feelings." I gushed put whilst blushing hard.

He then did something that caught me off guard completely. He kissed me. Then Jace walked in, we then broke apart…

…Let's just say by Jaces face…

…Shit is going to go down! Not in a good way either!

"What are you doing kissing my parabatai?!" Jace said angrily.

"Well I'm courting her. What does it look like?" Ezio replied putting his hand around my waist pulling me to him.

"Wait what! You two are courting now?" Jace said looking at me.

"Yes we're courting. Is that a problem Jace?" I asked calmly.

"Problem? Of course it's a problem! I don't want to see you kissing other guys just two days after I told you about my feeling for you." Jace replied his voice rising slightly.

"Didn't you understand when she pushed you away and then slapped you around the face that she doesn't return your feelings? Don't you think that tells you something? Oh like I don't know, maybe to back off." Ezio said inching closer to Jace.

Now I understand how this looks right? Two guys fighting over the girl they love. I should be fangirling but instead if you were in my shoes now you wouldn't be fangirling it's scary. Like fright night scary!

So anyway…. Jace snapped and lunged for Ezio but missed and landed on me…

…He probably thought I was Ezio because one minuet my face felt fine, and the next I felt Jaces fist punching my jaw…
