Chapter 11! The traitor shall be revealed! DUN DUN DUUUN!

The next morning, I was up earlier than usual probably because I went to bed earlier last night. Bored, I left my room and wandered through the halls. Like days before, I heard Ezio and Gabriele's voices. By the tone of their voices, they were discussing something serious. So, curious as always, I hid up against the wall and try to listen to their quiet, serious voices.

"The Borgia is getting closer to finding The Apple." Ezio said.

"What? Did they gather more information from us? Because I've just about got an exact location on The Apple." Gabriele explained.

"I believe so. We need to search for The Apple before The Borgia gets to it first." Ezio said.

"I agree also. Who should we send out? Since…someone could be a traitor." Gabriele asked.

"I was going to go myself but The Borgia is keeping me busy lately." Ezio sighed.

I hear someone else come into the room. "Hey guys, what this talk about The Borgia?" It was Bruno's voice.

"We need to find The Apple at once before The Borgia does." Ezio explained carefully.

"Well, I'd be willing to help." Bruno said.

There was silence for a moment or so.

"Ok," Ezio said. "Gabriele, give Bruno your estimated location for where The Apple could be."

I hear the sound of paper. "Here, all my information I know is on here." Gabriele said and probably handed the paper to Bruno.

"Grazie, I shall be on my way immediately." Bruno said then walked out of the room.

Then something terrible was happening. I could feel nose starting to twitch. I could feel….a sneeze approaching! Shit! I have to get out of here! I started to walk away stealthily but it was too late.

"AH-CHOO!"

"Who's there?" Ezio called out.

I sighed and decided to show myself. I come into the room staring at the ground.

"Rita, what are you doing up so early?" Ezio asked.

"Went to bed early." I said.

"Were you eavesdropping?" Gabriele asked.

"What? NO!" I said.

The two men raised their eyebrows at me. Damn it!

"Well, um…si." I said staring at the ground again.

Gabriele seem to smile but Ezio was a little serious looking.

"So what's The Apple?" I asked trying to release tension…if there was any at all.

"It's a powerful artifact. If Borgia gets their hands on it again…things can go bad." Gabriele explained.

"Oh ok…" I said nodding.

"You should be on your way though." Ezio said. "We have some important topics to discuss before I leave for my missions."

"Ok." I sighed and decided to go outside.

I was surprised when I saw Bruno in the distance. You think he'd already be long gone but he wasn't. Curiosity kicked in again and I started to follow Bruno. Maybe I could be able to help find this important artifact. Bruno ended up going into Roma. He went through crowds of people and in and out of alleys. I got to say it was pretty difficult to keep up with him.

He soon stopped in a district that was much less crowded and somewhat run down. I see Bruno go inside an abandon building. I quickly dart up to the building and peek inside the window. Bruno was pacing around as if though he was waiting for someone. This didn't make any sense at all!

"You!" I hear a voice behind me.

I quickly turn around to see a Templar glaring at me. That's when I also remembered I didn't even change into assassins robes before entering Roma so I was probably recognizable. Oh shit…

But I did remember I had a sword with me. Ok, there's some hope in this situation. The Templar walked towards me pulling out his fancy sword. Should I fight him? Hmm…HELL NO! I'm not advanced enough yet! So I quickly run inside the building and Bruno stared at me.

"Bruno! There's a Templar out there man!" I said pointing at the doorway.

Bruno looked behind me so I looked back also. I see the Templar entering the building with a smirk.

"Stupid kid." The Templar snickered.

I glared at him then looked back at Bruno expecting him to attack the damn Templar. Bruno had a smirk on his face also. Oh god…don't tell me…

"You're the traitor." I hissed at Bruno while my eyes glared into his soul.

"Well, you figured that out pretty quickly." Bruno chuckled.

I became very angry. Everyone trusted him! Ezio and Gabriele trusted him enough with the valuable information about The Apple!

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled at him not believing any of this.

"Nothing at all." Bruno smirked.

"Isn't that the Rizzo's' kid?" The Templar asked.

"Si, an annoying child also." Bruno said.

"Let's take her to Cesare." The Templar smirked.

Cesare? The bastard who sent that general after my parents!

"HELL NO!" I yelled at the Templar then quickly took out my sword.

I then realized I was screwed. First of all, it was two strong men against one teen girl. Second of all, they're both more advanced than me without a doubt. So that's when Bruno came at me and I swung my sword as precisely as I could. He dodged and tried to jab me. I sidestepped just in time. The Templar came from behind and quickly disarmed me. I then just tried to make a run for the door. I felt a hand go on my black hood and tug on it so hard I thought I was going to get choked.

"Now why would you want to leave?" Bruno said as he put me in a strong head lock. "The fun has just begun."

"Let go of me you bastard!" I shouted at Bruno trying to punch and kick him.

I then see the Templar take out a liquid and advance towards me with it. SHIT! I know that stuff! It knocks you out in a matter of seconds!

"Open wide." The Templar smirked and shoved the liquid down my throat. I tried to cough it up but it was too late. My eyes grew heavy and before I knew it, I blacked out.

Rita's in some deep crap! What's going to happen to her! And we found out Bruno is a freaking bastard! Stay tuned! Epic4Life out!
