As I said in the last chapter I am getting ready for a con and I apologize for the slow updates. I am officially done with my cosplays and props and doing final touches on the once for my friends. Because of that I am sorry for such a slow update hopefully afterward I will be back to my faster updates. Now with out much else to say ON WITH THE SHOW and see you next update. (mostly next month)

The next morning I woke up to the sound of people shuffling around me. I opened my eyes to see the bed room around me were empty. I shot up quickly and looked around. I was confused as to why I was not woken up. I got up and crawled our from under the tarp looking to the group. They looked back and offered me breakfast.

"Why didn't you guys wake me?" I stifled a bit of a yawn while taking the bowl they handed me.

"Why not like we are rushing to leave. And We are used to being up early no reason for everyone to suffer with having to be up at sun up." Rebecca smiled.

"Right. Is Altair up?" I questioned

"Yea, and feeling better." Shawn piped up from the other side of the fire. "Almost removed Desmond's head/"

"Shame I missed." Altair's voice rumbled from behind me.

"Oh you look a lot better!" I smiled glad to see him up and about. He had his hood back showing his close cut sandy brown hair. "I am glad. Did you eat?"

"Yea, you should. I am going back to rest." He placed a strong hand on my shoulder before squeezing pulling away and going back to the truck.

Everyone around the first looked back to the fire as though they remembered something and needed to be hush hush. I looked back and sat joining them with a bit of curiosity as to why they were now so quiet. As I opened my mouth both said they needed to do thing and bolted off quickly. I frowned and started to eat not sure what was going on.

I finished my meal quickly enough and cleaned up my mess and went to hunt down the others. When they said they had things to do they surely meant things that didn't involve my questions. Rebecca had her nose in the wiring of the Animus and Shawn had his nose in maps and on the radio with other assassins. I couldn't find Desmond any were and the only one around was the old man. So I walked over to talk to him figure out why everyone fled.

"Sir..." I spoke softly.

"Sir?" He smirked. "You know you can call me by my first name no need for titles."

"Sorry, It feels odd calling you William..." I shrugged and sat near him "Why did every one scatter."

"They had work." He answered flatly.

"No I mean they were very open till they saw Altair then kinda closed up and bolted." I looked down to my feet and hands.

"Ah, that. Let's say you were a topic of an argument between two very stubborn people." He chuckled.

"What do you mean?"" I narrowed my eyes slightly.

"Altair saw you and Desmond in the wood last night. He saw you through the windshield. He has remarkable sight." the only man hummed and crossed his legs lifting his new paper. "He was not happy and had it out this morning when you were still asleep."

"What... Altair saw us." I quickly stood up. "I don't believe this!"

I quickly left heading back to the truck to talk to Altair. He had no right in fighting with Desmond over what I do. He also should have spoke to me first or at least said something to me. I stalked over to the trailer and looked to Rebecca and gave a bit of a scowl. She got the hint and bolted leaving Altair sitting on animus holding a few tools for her. Once she left I grabbed and drop the trailer door and spun on his so quick I think I saw him flinch.

"You have no right in speaking to any one about what I choose to do, and whom I choose to do it with. You are not my father nor my mother. And I am certainly old enough to decided who I spend my time with!" I snapped at him and he raised his brows. "You have no right!"

"I have every right as you are my family! I am looking out for you before you do something stupid with a childish boy!" Altair spoke firmly his tone reminded me of my mother when she got mad. Firm and strong with out yelling.

"I Kissed him is all I did! And you are not my father, Altair!" I yelled back at him.

"You are right, I am not your father. But I apparently need to take an acting role as such till we are with your father so you do not do something stupid." He snapped a bit louder. "Like letting some one over power you and take advantage!"

"You can talk to me about what I do. Not argue with the person I was with. Desmond is not to blame for what happened. I am, I am the one who asked him to kiss me!" I yelled. "I did not let him take advantage or over power me. I am not you! And he is not Malik!"

"What did you say.?" Altair stood up glaring his eyes burning bright with anger.

"You heard me. I am not you and he isn't Malik. I wont let him over power me, like you let Malik do to you." I held my ground to him.

He kept his own ground and we stood glaring at each other not moving. It seemed like neither one of us would back down from this stair down. It lasted a while longer till he finally snapped. He did not seem happy to be the one to back down but like him I was stubborn yet I was more patient.

"Fine go be a whore! See what happens and when you get hurt I will just say I told you so." He snapped and sat back down.

"Yea OK.." I put my hands on my hips. "Tell me to be careful. After what I know you have done you have no right. Just stay out of my life! What I do is up to me not you."

"I Am just looking out for you. You are family!" He sighed calming himself slowly.

"Barely! You shouldn't even exist. You should still be dead and not here! You are nothing but a copy of your real self." I snapped at him again. "STOP TRYING TO PROTECT ME!"

With that last blow up I threw the door open leaving Altair in shock. I jumped out and stormed out of the camp going for a very long walk. I stomped in to the wood and let the camp disappear from site as I followed a dirt path. I just needed to be alone. I walked till I came across a small lake and decided to sit for a bit and cool off. I knew I would need to go back and apologize to Altair for being a jerk but that wasn't going to happen till I cool off more. It was only a short time till I heard someone coming up behind me. I turned and saw Desmond looking upset.

"You OK? We all kinda heard you explode." He kept his distance in case he be my next target.

"Yea, I am OK" I looked back to the water "I will need to apologize to him when I go back."

"You know he only did it cause he cares. You the only family and friend he really has." Desmond stepped closer then sat down.

"I know. That's why I need to apologize." I sighed softly. "I guess he knows from experience."

"I would say." Desmond smiled weakly and reached over patting my shoulder lightly. "Well you shouldn't be out here alone. We should head back."

"I would like to stay a bit longer please. It is helping me cool off." I looked to him.

"No problem. Let me know when you wanna head back." He nodded and just looked out to the water.

It was nice relaxing by the water for a short while. I closed my eyes and took a few long deep breaths feeling a lot better already. I opened my eyes again and started to get up as I was ready to head back now that I had a few moments to cool down. I Turned to Desmond as he has stood as well and before I could speak I was cut off. By the sounds of many thundering foot steps as him and I were surrounded. I stepped back and he pulled me back so I was to the water.

"Give us the woman and you won't die." a man called out then Zack came in to view. "Or We will just kill you anyway you filthy Assassin."

"Zack..." I gasped. "Desmond we need help.. there is too many."

"Only 12 plus him." Desmond spoke with a cocky smirk.

"Oh please come at me assassin. I dare you." Zack pulled out a gun taking aim. "I will take you out along with that woman, Remember men, Vidic want both alive."
