Chapter 10
I reached outside and smiled at how nice the summer evening was. A soft giggle came from me as I looked to Roy and Mario sparring. Roy stopped, looking at me before he waved; I nodded a bit in return before walking over. "Hey guys, what's up?" I asked, yawning softly, the mouse still in my hand. "Ohhh just sparring...Did you have a nice bath sis?" Roy asked and I nodded a bit happily, my mood uplifting. "Well that's good sis. I'm glad to hear so." "Yea...same...I hate being that depressed Roy..." I said, giggling again. "But I'm going to put this mouse down then go get dressed okay?" Roy let out a laugh, nodding "Alright sis." "'kay bro, see ya soon." I said, walking to a tree. I bent down, letting the mouse go. But I hadn't noticed a set of eyes in the tree, watching me. I soon stood up, yawning again as I walked the steps heading back to the mansion.
I heard a whistle and a soft chuckle "Well well Hoshi...What's up here? Why aren't you dressed? Let me guess...You wanted to surprise me?" a voice said as the owner dropped down. "Ha, like the fottere (fuck) Ezio, Claudia screamed so I ran out to see what happened. This is the way I was. Too bad for you you'll never see anymore than this." I said back, smirking at him and his shocked expression. I let out a soft laugh, walking back into the mansion and to the bathroom. Once I entered I closed and locked the door behind myself. I dropped the towel, walking to the dress as I picked it up. I looked at it, smiling a bit. It was a long sleeved, long black dress with an upside down V on the front that was blood red. Everything was held together with golden thread while there was a large silver belt that would go around my waist with the Assassin's symbol on it. I smiled a bit as I slipped on my "under garments" as my mother call them then pulled the dress on. It fit me perfectly which I was surprised. I smiled at it, twirling around as my hair was now fully dried which was thankfully naturally straight. I used the ribbon to make a headband with the bow at the right side of my head. I grinned in the mirror at myself then pulled on a pair of black flats. I skipped outside, my hair bouncing a bit with my movement.
I had seen some girl who I didn't recognize but when I heard Maria call her Annette I had known that she was the housekeeper Claudia had mentioned earlier. Smiling slightly I head out to Roy and Mario, my smile widening a little more when Roy walked up and gave me a tight hug. I giggled softly, hugging him back with just as much force as I snuggled into him. I heard Mario and Ezio begin to walk up to us but I didn't care, I had my Roy, my big brother and right now that was all I needed. I sniffled a bit then let out a yawn, rubbing my eyes. Roy looks to Ezio as Ezio just nods softly, getting the message. Roy soon let go of me and within a moment Ezio had picked me up, allowing me to snuggle into him softly while Ezio carried me to his room again where I could sleep. I looked up at Ezio, a soft smile on my lips and rubbed both my eyes with the back of my hands, looking a bit childish which made Ezio chuckle softly then lean down, kissing my forehead. When he pulled back he noticed how I had fallen asleep in his arms, a smile plastered on my lips. "She's so adorable..." Ezio thought as he entered his room. He laid me down on his bed then laid down next to my sleeping figure, brushing a few stray strands of hair away as Ezio pulled my body over to his. I rolled over to face him, my arms going around him as I fell into a deeper sleep, not knowing that the man I was holding was Ezio. Thinking it was Roy I went and nuzzled my head into the crook of Ezio's neck, letting out a soft sigh in contentment.
