Four freaking days! Like my god! How long does it take!? It wasn't as hot as it was to Damascus, but it took much longer! there was grass all around and signs of life at least! It was actually quite pretty. I saw a camp of guards right outside of Jerusalem, they were all standing in some formation. It was quite stupid, I saw a stall for horses and placed Majesty there, Altair did the same with King. I saw the entrance was once again guarded with four guards. I saw Altair head to a group of scholars and began to slowly make his way through...Ain't nobody got time for this!...I thought I went to the side of the entrance, and climbed up.
I climbed around to the front of the entrance which had planks across the ceiling. I just jump from one to another, and I jump onto a building inside Jerusalem. I look back to Altair who is still walking slower than a sloth...Lets have race! To the Bureau!...I thought as I continued to run in Jerusalem. I easily climb up a tower to scan my surroundings, I find the Bureau not far from where I'm from. I jump into a haystack and race to the Bureau. I easily climb into the Bureau and snoop around. I just casually walk around and wait for Altair. I hear very faint steps and I just act light I didn't hear, I hear something life a knife or hidden blade being unsheathed.
I instinctively jump right and throw my throwing knives when I felt a presence...someone I've seen before...the guy with the bleeding arm!...I thought. Before I could stop my throw, my knives went flying. First time I ever use them on my own, and I happen to use them on a fellow assassin! Just great! I purposely try to throw my knives the wrong way; hopefully missing the assassin. and it works! well...kind of...I guess. My throwing knives hit all over the place; the rugs, the walls, the floor, and into the left arm of the guy!...wait. He doesn't have a left arm! Well, at least I didn't hit him...at least.
"Novice! You could have killed me! What are you doing here? Answer!" The handicap man asked sharply...Well then...temper!...Jesus!...I thought. "I am expecting no one! Now answer!" He snapped. I flinched at his words and he began to show off his throwing knives once again. "...uh...L...look just put the knives down...We can talk...just calmly put the knives down...M...Malik..." I said steady. "You are not an assassin, but woman! How dare you wear those robes! And how do you know my name?" He yelled...Why is everybody a sexist!? it's stupid! Why can't I be a woman!? Huh?! Answer that homeboy!...I thought angrily.
He acted as if he was calming and being patient, but I knew better...He then swiped out his knives and I easily evaded them. He then came at me!? Like, what the fudge?! Dude I'm an assassin! All I'm saying is good luck hitting me that's all! I jump out of his range and I speed from one side of the room to another. Once again my amazing assassin instincts kicked in and I instantly blocked Malik's attacks as he came at me again. I somehow put him in a sleeper hold! I don't how I did it...It just happened. He ran out of knives when I was holding him and now he clawing me! It didn't hurt that bad, but I was trying to calm him!
"Malik, Malik hush it's alright...sh...I will let go of you when you stop struggling and when you calm down...sh, sh.." I hushed him while I was petting his head...look I didn't what to do! I just kept petting him like a kitten...it was kind of awkward...really awkward..I could hear him struggling to telling me crap as I petted his head like "novice! Imbecile!" I was choking him that's why he was struggling! I just kept 'calming' him with my petting, but that did nothing, but just piss him off more; which means more struggling and yelling and clawing...I'm just gonna rage quit and put him to sleep...I thought as I readied one hand.
"Apprentice! What are you doing with Malik!" I hear Altair yell. I look up at him to see his blazing look of anger and embarrassment. My mouth drops as he jumps from the roof, inside to meet me. "Look before you get mad, I was attacked by Malik! I came here and I decided to waited for you, but instead I found this guy angry and pissed basically and he took out his knives and I was like "whoa bro, it's cool! I'm an assassin! I'm your brother in the brotherhood you know what I'm saying?" But all he said was that "I'm a lady, not an assassin" which is not true, because I'm both assassin and lady...not even lady, but girl.
But anyway, he gets out his knives and tries to kill me! After I explained myself! Then I somehow get him a sleeper hold and now we're here." I explained. "Let go of Malik." Altair says in monotone. I look at my arms to realize that I did in fact, still have Malik in a sleeper hold!..Oops!...I thought as I let go of Malik, I could hear him choking and swallowing for air...I didn't think to do nothing, but just stare because I had already done enough. I saw Malik give me a glare of hatred just like Altair...Come on now! How come I always get the rough look! It's not fair!
I just shrugged my shoulders at him and gave him a smile, but he just continued to give me a glare...Well then! Fine! I was just protecting myself. ...jeez...I thought. I just climbed out of the bureau in embarrassment and some anger... Come on now, how was he not expecting some punches, or in this case knives back at him if he attacks every person in his bureau! If he's an assassin he has to have better sense then that! I wait for hours as Altair is most likely apologizing for my behavior and all that. I saw Altair come out and give me a hard glare full of hate and disappointment and anger!
...Oh Crap! Oh crap! I'm dead now!...I thought as I crept slowly back away from the edge. I turned around and began to casually walk away as if I didn't see nothing. I heard Altair climb up to where I was and then I ran...No it probably wasn't the best Idea I've ever had, but It was better than getting a punch in the nose by Altair! "Aaaaaahhhh!" You could hear me yell as I heard probably Altair's footsteps behind me. I pictured myself with bruises all over which scared me even more. I tripped over some pebbles or something and I fell back hitting the back of my head! And let me tell you, it isn't fun to hit your head on hard mud or stone.
I thought I lost my vision for a sec because everything blurred for a minute. I felt someone... Altair probably.. grab my hood and lift me up harshly. I had my eyes shut tight, I was trying to hold back tears from the sharp pain in the back of my head...Just Great! Now Malik needs to help me! I hope he doesn't try anything funny!...I thought mad. I was breathing hard and I felt pressure on the back of my head. I open my eyes for a second and I see Altair holding me...If he tries to tell me crap I will punch him!...I thought. He didn't tell me anything and I was already pissed about my head and Malik! At least Altair was trying to help...
I didn't realize it but Altair placed me somewhere in someplace and I took a quick glance and saw Malik is face like "are you kidding me, stupid idiot" faces. I Even thought I was unsure and uncomfortable with Malik I tried to relax and calm myself I felt something cool against my head but then I was starting to feel numb and weak. Then I realized that I'm passing out...great.
I awoke and looked around at my surroundings and I saw Malik doodling on his maps with his one hand angrily. "M...Malik! Wait, where's Altair?" I looked at my cloths and then a thought came and got stuck in my mind. "Did he or you change my cloths?!" I asked panicked. "No novice, no one changed your cloths or will change them, I am sorry for your expectation to be so high on service." He said sarcastically. "I said that because I don't want you or Altair to change me! it's just nasty!" I said shaking my arms. "And where's Altair? Do I need to save him? and what's on the back of my head?" I asked as I tried to touch the back of my head.
"Be quiet novice! The arrogant fool went to the market to get you food, and stop acting like a novice, Novice! Those are your bandages!" He spat. I stopped reaching and I glared at Malik with irritation "First of all Altair isn't 'arrogant' he's just a little to big for his breeches is all. And second if I'm a novice wouldn't you expect me to act like a novice?" I said with a smirk. Malik stopped writing for a moment and looked at me angrily. "You are driving my patience novice, go and rest and be quiet!" He yelled and slammed his fist into the table. I jerked back at his motion and I just went to lay down in this corner full of pillows and blankets.
I just stared at him as he wrote and drew his little doodles and such, and I snuck slowly up to him and my childish personality took over and I observed him with big brown eyes full of curiosity. I was personally into his numb...it just looked so fun to touch!...Must touch the chicken numb!...I thought I snuck under his counter and I observed from his shoulder. I knew he knew I was there and that's a good thing! Now he won't say "you surprised me novice!" and then he'd go ninja on me and throw those knives again! I just opened his sleeve a little to see is stiches and whatever else and it looked so squishy! "What are doing Novice leave me alone!"
He snapped. I just stood there and gave him a smile, his expression didn't change though, what a shame. "Can I touch it please?" I asked. He just blinked at me with his 'not amused' face and he sneered. "I know if I say no you will continue to bother me...Fine...Novice...But then you will leave me alone or I will get to use you as my practice target for my knives." I nodded my head and I rolled up his sleeve and saw his numb! I lightly touched it at first to see if it was still sensitive, and it was so fascinating to feel! I was just so curious! "Do you sometimes still feel your fingers?" I asked happily. "Yes novice, now are you done?!" He growled.
..I wonder how it's like to be in Malik's shoes...Maybe I should see!...I thought with a slight smile. I twisted the lower half of my arm under the upper half and I gained a chicken numb too! I waved at Malik with my new chicken numb with a friendly smile. He did nothing, but just stare at me with his once again 'not amused' face. "You are offending me with your mockery, novice." He said plainly. I undid my arm and just frowned. I saw his drawing of Jerusalem and it was quite good too! "I like your drawing! Do you have any paper so I can draw too?" I said nicely. "Novice, I cannot waste anything! now go and leave or you will be my next target!"
He ordered. I sighed, I silently snuck out some paper anyway and a little ink, with those feather pens and I drew anyway. Look I asked him nicely and I was denied! I wanted to draw so I drew! I drew a dragon; one of my favorite animals! I know they're not real but they're still pretty! I always had a talent to draw animals, and I enjoyed complements here and there...Too bad he doesn't have color ink to color!...I thought. I heard footsteps and I rolled up my drawing really quick, but Altair saw me rolling my drawing up anyway. "You are awake. How long have you been up?" He said plainly. "uh...I think this whole afternoon."
I said as I shrugged my shoulders. he tossed me some bread that I decontaminated and put some of that blue gel; too heal my head from that fall. I'm so smart! I saw Altair enter and talk to Malik and I saw them argue with each other, and it was funny from where I was from. " 'Little challenge'? Listen to you! Such arrogance!" Malik yelled. "Are we finished? Are you satisfied with what I have learned?" Altair said almost confused and yet amused. "No, but it will have to do." Malik gave Altair a feather and he put the feather in his pouch. I continued to work on my little drawing I had and It was going great!
...I should give Altair this for a appreciation gift!...I thought cheerfully. I saw Altair come and lay down next to me and he just looked over my shoulder to see my drawing, "you like it? I made it for you!" I cheered. He held the drawing; observing it for a few minutes then he just nodded. "you like to draw, but did Malik say you could have this? He is stubborn with his supplies."...He's not that stubborn! I got to touch his numb...and he doesn't know anyway that I have this stuff ... I don't think he'll mind...I thought. I just shrugged my shoulders as a response and Malik must have heard Altair, because he came outside.
"You novice! I told you do not touch my supplies and you take it?!" He yells and then once again he took his knives out on me and I jumped behind a big pillow and I took it with me. I heard his knives unsheathed I ran out of there! I climbed up to the roof and I saw Altair hold Malik's one arm and Malik was still trying to get me!...How do I get myself into these situations?!...I thought. I climbed back down into thee bureau and I steal Malik from Altair's hold "Sleep!" I said quickly then I pressed two fingers against Malik's neck and he went limp. "Well now that, that was taken care of...Ah!" I felt a sting on my arm and I saw Altair pinching me!
"ouch, ouch, okay, okay I get it; don't put people to sleep!" I hissed as Altair then released my poor arm from his demon grasp. He looked really pissed from where I could tell, and I wanted to get a little far from him... you know what I'm saying he's in that "I will kill you" mood. I carry Malik and place him back over the counter and hopefully when he wakes up, he won't remember me taking anything or this whole situation. I turn to see Altair still giving me that look and I just shrug my shoulders at him.
I walk up to Altair to ask him something "You we have our next target already? Who is he? where do we find him? and..." "Yes, Talal, a warehouse in the Barbican north of here." he states quickly "oh." I said as I fall into Malik's corner of pillows and blankets. they felt soft surprisingly in these conditions, but man I was pooped... so I slept.
