What if they were related? Closely related.
That'd be gross, really gross. But if couldn't be that bad, if so, they could only be cousins…hopefully very, very distant cousins.
But she shouldn't look so into it. It was possible they weren't. As far as she knew, Ezio and Elena hadn't had sex. So, she could hope, right?
She mentally sighed, and decided that thinking about it wasn't going to make a difference.
" For a moment I thought they'd never leave." Ezio said to Elena and he nodded in agreement. " It seems they have no idea about us, amore. This could work. This could really work." he said, his smile widening after every sentence.
" And as soon as we get them out of the way, we have to deal with Gaston, Ezio." Elena reminded him. The difference between Ezio and Elena's accents were remarkable. Elena was obviously a native of France, and of course Ezio's was from Italy. But even though they were very different, they blended together well.
" Why do you not just divorce him, Elena. Things would be so much better that way." Ezio said, sighing.
Elena frowned and shook her head, " I wish it was that easy." she said.
" Potrebbe essere (It Could Be). I could make it that easy." Ezio offered, and she knew what he was getting at. She would kill him. It amazed both Lucy and Elena that Ezio would take another's life, an innocent life at that, so they both could have a chance at a life together. A very risky life that they both knew would be filled with running. Ezio had to know that if he was with a Templar, it would take a lot for the order to accept that, if they accepted it at all.
It was all very romantic though.
" I know you could." Elena said smiling softly, " But I don't know if that's the best choice for you."
" But it is the best choice for us."
" You'd be risking everything-" Not letting her finish, Ezio kissed her passionately on the lips, holding her to him.
" I'd risk anything for you." he whispered leaning his head against hers. As their eyes met, Elena smiled again. Out of all the men in the world, she was lucky enough to find him. God must really love her.
She stretched her arm out to lock the door next to him.
" Would you risk us getting caught by the guards Lucrezia might send back for her things?" Elena asked smirking.
" Si. I sure am." Ezio said, returning the smirk. He picked her up, and walked towards Lucrezia's bedroom, closing the door with his foot.
Oh. Shit. Somethin' real is about to go down.
And as soon as the thought entered her mind, she was back at the Templar base.
" So did you listen to me this time?" Shaun asked her as she sat up.
" I sure did." Lucy said and jumped down, " Does that surprise you?" she said smiling.
" As a matter of fact that does." Shaun, " What an accomplishment, Lucy." he said with mock enthusiasm.
Lucy rolled her eyes and chuckled. " Kay, I'm going to need you to do some digging for me." she told Shaun. " Can you find out all you can about Elena. Everything. I need to know what happened between her and Ezio."
" Her an Ezio were together?" Rebecca asked from across the room and Lucy nodded in reply. " So, you and Desmond could be re-"
" Don't. Say. It."
Desmond's eyes opened wide as he was taken out of the memory.
Well, he didn't exactly find out where Eve's descendant line started, but he found out something else.
He never knew that Ezio had found another woman in his life, she always thought that he had died alone. Of course, that wasn't really possible since Desmond was alive. But that also meant that Ezio had a child with Elena right?
No, not exactly.
He had to make sense of all this though. He jumped down from the Animus, and looked around the dark room. No sign of William or Erudito. Maybe they'd gone out for coffee?
Desmond shrugged and walked over to the computer next to the Animus. He was smart enough to operate a computer. He didn't necessarily need either of them to do it. Plus, he doubted they would. They were probably still pissed about him being out for hours.
He typed in Ezio's name in the database and waited for memory results. What popped up was several names and dates. He scrolled down and looked for Elena's name. Even though Ezio and Elena had a secret relationship, maybe it was in the database somewhere.
Ah, there it was. 1486 was when Elena's name first popped up along with Ezio's. He went further and further down the list, and her name was still there in each memory. Desmond started to wonder if Lucy was really related to him, until suddenly her name stopped coming after the year 1504.
That was odd. Because Ezio's kept going. Did Elena die?
He had to make sure to view that memory soon.
Now, he searched for what happened with the man Elena mentioned. Gaston. Because no one could possibly keep a secret relationship for that many years, not even assassins.
Gaston's information stopped after 1489. Did Ezio end up killing him? So many questions. Desmond had to know.
He clicked the option to view that memory, and jogged over to the Animus, putting himself in. William and Erudito might get mad about his snooping, but he didn't really care, to be honest.
He found Ezio running into a house. Ezio's emotion's hit him like a tidal wave. Someone was pissed off. He kicked the door open and standing in the front room was a rather short man. His brown hair pulled back into a slick ponytail.
Elena's conversation with him from an hour before kept replaying in his head.
Ezio had come back from a long contract. It'd taken him about two months to complete. Though he thought this was better. Since he'd executed Lucrezia the year before, contracts seemed to be shorter in length. And that was good of course. It allowed him to spend more time with the woman he'd come to love.
Elena and himself had been together for a two years now. And been together for a little less than that. So far, their secret relationship had been going along well.
Elena had been sad to see Ezio go on the contract but didn't stop him. That was his job of course. But the Templars hadn't been doing anything either, so she was stuck at home with her arranged husband for the two months Ezio had been gone.
A few weeks after Ezio had left, Elena was at home more and so was Gaston. He'd been pressuring her to sleep with him, since they hadn't slept together since the day they'd wed. Elena wanted to keep it that way, but unfortunately, Gaston didn't. He'd raped her and a little after that, Elena found out some news she knew would set Ezio off.
" GASTON!" Ezio screamed, " How dare you!"
Ezio picked him up, and threw him across the room. The wall cracked and a few pieces chipped off as Gaston made contact with the wall. Ezio stormed towards him and grabbed him by the collar.
" How dare you touch her like that! Who the fuck do you think you are!" Ezio said, hoisting him up a good four feet off the ground.
" I am her husband, Assassino. I can touch her however I want!" The French man snapped back. Oh yes, he looked scared, but apparently he wasn't that scared if he had the nerve to speak to Ezio that way.
" You hurt her, bastardo." Ezio said punching him across the face, " And you will pay for it." he unsheathed his hidden blade. " If she wanted sex from you she would have asked!" he said holding the blade to his throat.
Gaston laughed, " And she wants sex from you?" he asked and laughed again, " You have not seen her in months. Why would she want anything from you? Elena came to me. And I gave her what you didn't."
Ezio seemed surprised at this. Surprised that Goaston even knew of him and Elena. Maybe they weren't being so secretive after all.
Ezio pulled back his un-weaponed fist, and socked him right in the nose. " She understands why I leave for so long. I have a job to do, as does she. But, you do not deserve an explanation." he said, " What you have done to her will not go unnoticed. This will be your last night on this earth." he said punching him again, and smiled hearing the crack of Gaston's nose.
Ezio threw Gaston on the ground and hovered above him for a split second before his blade entered Gaston's chest.
Ezio stood up, not even bothering to pray for the man.
" Think about this, Assassin." Gaston said as Ezio's hand touched the doorknob, " Will Elena be happy to know you just killed the father of her unborn child?" he asked and then laughed and laughed and laughed until he began to choke on his own blood.
Yay. Donee. Chapter 11 might actually be up tomorrow. So stay tuned, yah?
