Hey whats up guys! So here it is, the last chapter of this story. :'( It makes me so sad, but i really loved taking this adventure with you guys. I want to give a shout out to Cadavre Exquis for their continued feedback along the way. Thank you so much! Here is the last chapter guys. Enjoy! DISCLAIMER: I do not own Assassins Creed!

The sky was all black as we came up on a small town. I chewed my lip as I studied it carefully.

"Oh no…" I mumbled under my breath. "Excuse me sir, could you tell me where exactly we are? I yelled to him over the noise of the engine.

"Yes signora, we are approaching the dock in Florence Italy."

"Shit." I said under my breath. "Thank you!" I yell back to him.

I quickly dug through the bag of things I bought when Aunt Rita and I were out shopping. Luckily I had purchased a cream overcoat with a hood. I counted my blessings as I quickly slipped it on, pulling the hood up to cover my face. We pulled up to the dock and I waited as he climbed out of the boat and made sure the boat was anchored properly.

"Here we are Signora!" the man said happily as he motioned for me to exit the boat. I thanked him as I made my way onto the ground. "One moment while I get another ship to take you the rest of the way to Egypt." I darted my eyes around, making sure no one heard him. The streets were mostly empty. That's the way night time in Florence was. I relaxed a bit as I waited. It was an odd feeling to be standing on the streets of Florence again. I never thought I'd be back here. And if I am being honest, I shouldn't be here at all. I was really hoping I could get out of here quickly. I watched as the man jogged back to my side.

"I have got you another boat signora. He will take you where you need to go." He clarified as he pointed towards a bigger ship." I nodded.

"Thank you for all of your help sir." I said sincerely to him. He gave me a big smile and a wave before he headed back for his boat.

I took a deep breath and walked towards the bigger ship where I was greeted by another man.

"Hello my lady. You are traveling all the way to Egypt yes?" He asked.

"Yes." I replied with a nod.

"I see. No bags with you?" he raised his eyebrows at me.

"Um, no." I said carefully "I was in a bit of a hurry."

"Ohh I understand my lady. I'll make it quick then hmm? Thirty minutes tops!" he said with a wink before he turned to ready the ship. "There are two rooms in the ship with beds. Take one and make yourself comfortable." He said over his shoulder. I thanked him and made my way on the boat and into one of the rooms. I let out a sigh of relief as I sat on one of the beds, glad to be out of the public's eye. It is a long trip back to Egypt and I was dreading it. Before my thoughts could wonder too far, I heard heavy footsteps outside of my door. I crinkled my forehead in confusion.

"Hello?" I called out, cautiously standing to my feet. Suddenly my door burst open with a loud crash. I jumped back and gasped in surprise when I was met with two gorgeous hazel eyes.

"Ezio?" I asked in astonishment. His body was shaking with every breath he took. I could see he was angry, but also relieved and there was a hint of something else in his eyes. Something I had seen many times before.

"You were just going to leave without telling me goodbye?" he choked out, not even trying to hide his emotions.

"Ezio-"I tried again but he cut me off.

"I lied to you before, when I said all those things." I clutched at my chest and tried to speak again.

"I-"

"I do not care if you think this is what is best for you." he said loudly as he stepped towards me. "I am too selfish."

"But-"

If you try and leave, I will follow you." He practically begged as he grabbed hold of my arms tightly.

"The thieves Ezio!" I finally yelled at him. "How could you." he sighed loudly.

"Nanu, I have always worked with them."

"How could you! You know what they did. You know how much suffering they caused my sister and me!" I shoved his chest hard with my hands but he didn't loosen his grip on me.

"Nanu-"it was my turn to cut him off.

"And you've been working with them the whole time? You didn't even think to tell me?!" He shook me hard, getting my attention.

"NANU! Listen!" he yelled as he glared at me

"What!" I yelled back attempting to jerk my body from his grasp.

"… Thieves did not kill your parents…" He said carefully. His eyes watched me intensely, awaiting my reaction. His words didn't seem to register right away.

"…What…?" I whispered in confusion. He slowly released me and watched me carefully.

"What do you know?" I finally asked after a long silence. He opened his mouth to explain, but was cut off by the sound of a sword unsheathing. We quickly turned towards the doorway to see Niccolo standing there with his weapon drawn. Ezio reached back, gently pushing me directly behind him before I heard the faint clicking of his hidden dagger. He quickly stepped towards Niccolo, raising his arm to attack.

"NO!" I yelled wrapping my arms around his waist in an attempt to stop him. He stilled his movements briefly, giving me just enough time to place myself between the two of them. "Don't hurt him Ezio." I pleaded. He hesitated for a moment, looking between me and Niccolo before he lowered his arm. I relaxed slightly, even under the disapproving glare I was receiving. I was just about to turn and speak to Niccolo when I was jerked back by my hair. I yelped in pain as I attempted to fling my hands towards my head, trying to protect myself when an arm wrapped itself tightly around my abdomen, pinning mine to my sides. I felt the cool sting of sharp metal being pressed against the vulnerable flesh of my throat and Niccolo's shallow breaths in my ear. Ezio began to make a move towards us.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you Ezio." Niccolo hissed at him. "I'll cut her wide open."

Ezio immediately stilled his movements, looking towards me with frightened eyes. I was slightly afraid of Niccolo in this moment, but somewhere deep inside me, I knew he wouldn't hurt me. Once I was secure in his arms, he loosened them slightly. If I really tried I could pull myself from his grasp. But I was afraid if I did, one of them would be hurt. So for now I just decided to remain calm and do as Niccolo requested.

"Come." He said as he backed us out of the room and onto the deck. He kept facing Ezio, watching his every move. Ezio did as he asked, not willing to put my life at risk. Once the cold air hit us I watched as Ezio's eyes darted around and his face fell. My heart sped up as I looked at him in confusion, I was not able to move my head to look around. His eyes softened and he gave me a comforting look. My feet finally hit cobblestone and I was able to see what had Ezio so worried. Every guard in the city had to be here. They were surrounding us with their weapons drawn. My eyes caught the sight of the friendly man whose ship I had boarded. He had a smug grin on his face, proud to be the one who caught the two people who fled the city accused of treason and murder. Niccolo's voice pulled me from my thoughts.

"On your knees, Assassin." He demanded. True fear began to bubble up in my throat.

"Niccolo." I protested in a panic as I tried to tug my body away from him. His arms tightened around me, pinning me in place. My heart began to thud hard against my chest. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe he would hurt me to get what he wants, Ezio's life.

"Do as I say or it will be her life!" he yelled, pressing the blade with more force against my neck. I flinched away from it. Ezio quickly lifted his hands in defeat as he slowly lower himself to his knees. Once he was on the ground multiple guards grabbed hold of him, holding him in place. My eyes began to sting, He looked so vulnerable.

"Now," Niccolo began. "Tell her what really happened to her parents." I crinkled my forehead in confusion as I looked towards Ezio. It took a minute for his face to register any emotions, but eventually he slowly dropped his head, shaking it slightly.

"Please." Ezio pleaded, His thick Italian voice coated with despair.

"Now!" Niccolo demanded loudly. Ezio stayed silent for another long moment, shaking his head before he finally spoke.

"They were not murdered by thieves." He said sadly, every word coated with pain. I listened carefully to his words, urging him to continue when he didn't.

"What happened then?" I asked. Niccolo's grip on me loosed as he dropped his arms, freeing me.

"They…" He paused, not wanting to continue. I took one cautious step towards him. "They were a part of the creed." He finally said. He slowly lifted his head and looked me in the eyes. He must have seen my confusion because he slowly continued. "They were trained spy's working for the Assassins creed." I stared at him for a long moment, trying to comprehend what he was telling me.

"Finish it!" Niccolo yelled behind me. His voice was frantic, almost crazy. Anger flashed across Ezio's face as his eyes flicked to Niccolo.

"Why are you doing this?!" Ezio yelled. "I know you care about her. I have seen you two together. Why do you want me to hurt her like this?!"

"She deserves to know the truth!" Niccolo yelled back. He gave a violent shake of his head, snarling through clenched teeth. "TELL HER!"

Ezio slowly directed his eyes back to me, carefully studying my face.

"Ezio…" I encouraged him to finish. He gave a loud sigh.

"They were spying on the Templars, pretending to be one of them and bringing back valuable information. There was a rat in our creed and we did not know. They told of your parents to the knights Templar, and they were…" He looked away as he finished. "…tortured for information. When they did not give any up, they were falsely accused of treason and hung in the streets..." He trailed off sadly. My gut churned in my abdomen. I felt like I was going to vomit. So many emotions flowed through my body, I didn't know which one to act on. The one that kept coming to the surface was hurt.

"You knew… this whole time?" I whispered. His face contorted in pain, pain he was feeling for me. Slowly he nodded and dropped his head.

"I am so sorry, Mio Amore." Two hands slowly gripped my shoulders and warm breath caressed my ear.

"See Nanu? I have wanted to tell you all along…" Niccolo whispered softly to me, something about his voice sounded almost evil. Suddenly every hint, every small thing anyone had ever said to me came flooding back into my memories. Niccolo, Aunt Rita, Oni, Everyone knew. Everyone but me. "The assassins are to blame for my mother's death as well." I listened to him with and expressionless face as my eyes grazed over Ezio, kneeling before me. "That is why they must be stopped. Too many unnecessary lives have been lost because of the creed." He slowly let me go and stood tall. The air was silent and thick with tension for the longest time.

"Kill him." Niccolo's voice came behind me. I turned quickly towards him.

"No."

The guards grabbed him roughly, jerking his hood back and grabbing a fist full of his hair.

"Niccolo!" I begged as I stepped closer to him, gripping his uniform with my hands.

"He has to pay for his actions Nanu." He said calmly.

"Please." I tried again. "What can I do to convince you?" Suddenly his eyes flashed to mine, a hopeful flicker danced in them for a brief moment. I knew what he wanted. I knew what I had to do to save Ezio's life.

"Kiss me." I whispered out.

"Nanu!" Ezio's voice came from behind me, dripping with disapproval. I ignored him.

"Kiss me Niccolo, please. Kiss me, and then let him go." He seemed to roll my proposal around in his head before he gripped my arms with force, and without warning crashed his mouth hard down on mine.

His lips ravaged every small section of my mouth, as if he was claiming me. I could feel every ounce of passion he had pouring into me. The kiss was rushed, and hungry. He savagely bit into my bottom lip, demanding entrance into my mouth. I surrendered to him, parting my wet lips and letting him in to taste me. His tongue flicked around my mouth while his hands explored my body. They grazed over my hips, up my tummy, along the curve of my breasts, even over my thighs. I wish I could say I hated every second of it. I wish I could say the way his hands were touching me made me sick. But I can't. I didn't hate it at all. A part of me wanted this. A part of me always wanted this. But the bigger part of me wanted Ezio. I was willing to throw Niccolo away for good, just to save him. I loved Ezio. A small moan escaped my lips as Niccolo hiked my dress up, brushing my inner thigh with his fingertips. I knew then it was time to stop. I slowly slipped my mouth from his, breathing in heavy breaths as I laid my head on his chest. I heard Ezio's disapproving grunts from behind me. Niccolo too took a moment to compose himself before he slipped his hands around me and spoke.

"Kill him." My eyes widened as I looked up at him

"No!" I yelled as I pushed him away.

"I'm sorry." He said with regret.

I was just about to scream when suddenly an arrow pierced him threw the abdomen. I watched in horror as Niccolo's eyes widened and looked down at the object protruding from his stomach. Blood spurted from his mouth as he struggled to try and speak. He formed no words, but his eyes said it all. He was scared. Slowly he dragged them back to me. I watched as the life slowly drained from his eyes. They became glassy and dull before he fell like a limp ragdoll to the ground with a hard thud. I looked towards the roof top where the arrow came from to see a red cloak blowing in the wind before the person disappeared into the night. Some of the guards ran off after them while the others remained confused, starring at the bloodied body of one of their own that lie on the ground.

Ezio used this confusion to make his move. He quickly jerked his arms from the guards while sweeping his feet underneath them, knocking them off balance. He unsheathed his hidden weapon and gripped one of the guard's heads, shoving the blade through the back of his neck. He used that guard's limp body to block a few attacks from the others before throwing it towards them, knocking a few down. He wasted no time getting to his feet and slashing the other guard's throats while they were trapped on the ground. He gripped the handle of his sheathed sword before quickly swinging around, pulling out his weapon and slashing two more guards stomachs open in one fluid motion. The smell of blood in the air was thick and sickening.

While he was fighting off the guards, I knelt down beside Niccolo. My heart broke as I looked into his lifeless eyes.

"I'm so sorry." I kept repeating at I tried to wipe away the blood from his mouth with my palm. My body shook hard as sobs came loudly from my mouth. My fingertips brushed his lips gently, those same lips that I was just kissing moments ago.

"Come!" Ezio yelled as he jerked me up by my arm and pulled me along quickly. I tried my best to keep up, trying to stop the tears as we ran through the shadows of the streets.

"Why are we running towards the end of town?" I asked with a shaky voice as we ran. "There is no way out this way." I watched as Ezio smirked.

"Maybe not that you know of…" He replied with confidence. We ran for such a long while, my lungs felt like they were going to burst. Finally we ran up on a huge building that toward the city. He hid us behind a wall, checking to make sure the coast was clear before he darted across the walkway with me trialing right behind him. He placed his hands over a leaver that looked to be shaped like a human skull and pulled on it. The pieces of the lever seemed to rearrange themselves before they clicked back into place, opening a secret passage into the wall. I watched in amazement before he dragged me into the building, the passage way closing behind us.

"Another Assassin secret?" I asked. He shrugged.

"Look Nanu," He started as he came close to me, cupping my cheeks lovingly. "I am sorry that I did not tell you about your parents. I did not wish to hurt you and…" he trailed off.

"And?" I urged.

"… and I was afraid you would hate me for what happened to them." He finally finished, dropping his head. "also," he continued. "I am sorry about Niccolo. I know how much he meant to you." I paused for a moment, thinking about everything I had learned today, before I too cupped his face, lifting it to face me again.

"Ezio, I kissed him because I thought he would spare you." I thought back to the night under the lantern at Aunt Rita's house. "He kissed me once before and apologized immediately after. He said the next time we kissed, I would have to ask." I sighed, slightly embarrassed." I thought it would work." Ezio let out a small chuckle.

"It looked like it almost did." He said "I am sorry that his life was taken…" . I smiled lovingly at him. My heart hurt so much for Niccolo, but he was going to kill Ezio. There was nothing I could do.

"And about my parents," I continued after a moment." They obviously believed in the creed. They gave their lives for it. As much as I hate that they are gone, and as much as I hate what happened to them, they died for something they believed in. There is no greater honor. And for that, I am glad. I brought my lips just a breath away from his before I softly spoke again. "I too would gladly die for the one I believe in." I whispered before I brought my lips bravely to his.

He returned my affection with his own, kissing me sweetly. His plump perfect lips molding against mine as if they were made to fit together. I would never get over the taste of him. He was absolutely delicious. His strong hand cupped the back of my head, holding me in place while his mouth worked its magic on me. His other hand found its way to my hip, gripping it tightly. I felt so safe when I was wrapped up in him like this. I had missed him so much these past couple weeks. His touch after so long was making my body ache. I squirmed around, trying to fight off my sexual urges. We were still on the run after all. This probably wasn't the best time. He must have realized why I was wiggling because he slowly slipped his hand from my hip, to the small of my back, then down the curve of my bottom. I inhaled sharply.

"Ezio, we can't. What if they find us?" I breathed out as his lips made their way down my neck.

"Then we run." He stated matter-of-factly. I opened my mouth to protest but a moan forced its way out instead when gave my bottom a hard squeeze. "Nanu, I need you." he whispered seductively against my skin while his lips teased my collar bone.

"Okay." I breathed as my eyes slid shut. I wasn't about to tell him no. How could I when he dominated my body this way. He knew exactly where to touch me to make me melt like putty in his hands. He gently guided me backwards until my back hit the cold surface of a wall. He captured my mouth again with his, kissing me with more of a burning passion this time. I heard the ripping of fabric when his hands left my body for a brief moment. I couldn't tell whose clothes he had just ripped, but at this moment I didn't care. He fingered the material of my dress over my shoulders before pulling it down, exposing my breasts to the cool air. I moaned into his mouth as my peaks hardened under the chill. His hands then gripped my wrists, dragging them slowly up the wall and placing them over my head. I gasped as he fastened them together roughly with the fabric, then he tied them to a hook that jutted out from the wall above me. My arms were trapped above my head and I, once again, was at his mercy.

He licked his lips, enjoying his work before he slid his way down my body placing loving kisses over the fabric of my dress while he hooked my underwear with his fingertips, pulling them inch by inch down my legs. He tossed them to the side before gripping my thighs, parting them, and wrapping my legs around his shoulders. I gasped. His face was buried between my legs. He rolled my dress up and out of the way before he let his lips brush against my quickly dampening slit. I groaned in anticipation, trying my best to keep from shoving my hips towards his face. He placed long, lingering kisses along my slit, teasing me, tasting the escaping juices. My bud was so swollen, begging for attention. Finally he slipped the tip of his tongue past my lips, brushing it gently over my clit. I moaned, shuddering from the quick pleasure. He must have liked my response because he repeated his action, this time dragging it a bit harder and longer over my sensitive spot. My legs shook as my eyes rolled. The pleasure was almost unbearable. He teased me like this for a long time, until I was a panting, sweaty mess.

"Please." I begged as I rocking my hips towards his mouth. He smirked and finally latched his lips around my bud, suckling on it gently, applying just enough pressure with his mouth to send shockwaves of pleasure coursing through my body. My hole was dripping as he continued to gently massage my clit with his hot tongue, rolling it around and flicking it roughly. My climax built quickly. I grinded my pelvis into his face and road out my orgasm, his tongue never stopping until my spasms quit coming. My chest heaved up and down as I was engulfed in a lusty haze.

Ezio wasted no time in standing to his feet and sliding out of his cloak. He worked with the latch on his belt, unclasping it and shimmying his pants down just enough to free his fully erect bulge.

"Ecstasy suits you well Nanu." Ezio purred into my ear as he placed both of his hands on my hips, positioning himself at my entrance. My first climax was still leaking out of me, making his entering all the more easy. He slid himself in deep, moaning as my tightness surrounded him. My muscles were still clenched from my orgasm. My body milked him, gripping his shaft and greedily taking every inch of him in. He wasted no time in taking it slow. He thrust into me hard, the pressure causing waves of pleasure like I'd never felt before against my already tender womanhood. I grinded my hips against him, riding his thick rod, letting it stretch me to the max. My mouth hung agape and my eyes rolled as my sopping wet mound quivered around him.

"Ezio!" I moaned out as my pleasure built again.

"Say it again." Ezio demanded through clenched teeth. His velvet dripping voice bringing me closer to my demise.

"Oh Ezio!" I moaned out again a bit louder, bouncing as quickly as I could on his shaft. My toes curled as I reached the silver lining of my pending orgasm.

"My name has never sounded more delicious than it does when you moan it Mio Amore, One last time." He commanded.

"Ezio!" I cried out one last time as I met my release, my womanhood spazzed around his thick rod and my second climax spilled out around it like a waterfall. I lost the ability to do anything but moan uncontrollably as he emptied himself in me with an enticing groan. His muscles rippled against my skin as he rolled his delicious body against mine, drowning in his pleasure. He stopped his thrusts and remained connected to me as our bodies started their decent from the intense high we just experienced. He placed light kisses along my skin, anywhere his mouth could reach as he lifted his hands to untie my wrists. He snaked his arm around my waist, catching me as my shaky knees gave way under my limp body. I stayed pinned to his chest until my strength returned.

"I love you Nanu." He breathed into my hair, slipping out of my body and placing a kiss to my forehead before we began readjusted our clothes.

"Nanu, you should know," he started as he dressed. "I have no idea about the future from this point on. I cannot promise you that things are going to be easy with me." I watched him with loving eyes as he spoke to me. "If you wish to go back home, I will take you and make sure you get there safe, but I have to come back to Italy. You can stay and live out a normal life…" He said, a hint of sadness tinting his tone. I smiled at him, but shook my head.

"Wherever you go Ezio, I will follow. That is what I wish. To be by your side, Always." A loving smile spread its way across his face.

"Then I vow to protect you," He said as he offered me his hand. I took it without hesitation, intertwining my fingers with his. "Always."
