I'm so so so so sorry…

I haven't abonded this story, (I swear!) I know it seems that way, but I really haven't! Hey, I even thinking about going back onto some chapters and revise them and make them 100 times better…

It's the summer now and I can write… no uni….

I have gone over a couple of things and you know working on some links also for my second fanfiction from this one for AC2.

OOOH but there is a Assassins Creed Revelations! I am dead excited, the Ezio Trilogy as I like to call it (lol) I know it's coming out in November, but uuurrgh I can't wait that looong!

It has been a month since Sophie has departed from Masayf; There are few others who believe she will come back one day, some joked and looked to the training area to watch her again, falling down from her light and appearing out of nowhere. I have continued peacefully through my days, searching more locations of the men from the list, Al Mualim has given me. For now, one of my targets has returned to the land and given more of a chance to kill.

I entered the tower, walking slowly up the stairs. Some scholars pass me by and ask about the whereabouts of Sophie, I have noticed that many of scholars became interested in her, her time and everything about the 'future'.

I will not deny my curiosity, but I believe we make our own futures by our own hands. So I have stopped myself in curiosity to ask her. As I began to take another step- a large ball of light appeared before me, stunning my eyes and my body, I fell backwards, my spine hitting the corners of the steps.

I open my eyes and notice the familiar figure before me…

"Sophie…"

"Hi Altair. Miss me…?" I hear her say cheerfully, her wide smile and her blue eyes shining, she looked at me as if she was gone for a day.

I was about to speak but… "ALTAIR? WHAT IS GOING ON?" I hear the master's booming voice echo through the halls. I watch as Sophie grins and races up the stairs, as I weakly get back up and chase after her. I hear slightly laughing to herself as if it was some sort of a game…

"Hi Al Mualim!" I hear her call out, the old master stumbled in his steps, walking forwards in a fast pace, "Sophie!" his arms stretched out and hugged Sophie into a bear hug gesture. Also noticing her hugging him back.

Honestly… that shocked me a little….

When the master took notice of me, he let her go, his smile soon fell as he gestured me and Sophie to follow him… knowing what he wanted to say… to both of us.

Al Mualim walked towards his desk, signaling Sophie to stay, he than glances at me. "Come in Altair." He says, nodding at Sophie as if to address her in the conversation. "You've done well." He compliments me, Sophie stares, silent and the look of confusion on her face. "Three of the nine lay dead and for this you have my thanks, but do not think to rest on your morals, your work has just begun."

"I'm yours to command Master…" I said icely.

Al Mualim began looking over his map, I peered over slightly noticing to which destination he was pointing at, I watched Sophie as she looked on curiously.

"King Richard, emboldened by his victory at Acre, prepares to move south towards Jerusalem. Salahuddin is surely aware of this. And so he gathers his men before the broken citadel of Arsuf."

"A war…?' I hear Sophie spoke out. The Master nods.

I curiously ask, "Would you have me kill them both then?" Starring at the Master in question. "End their war before it begins in earnest?"

"No." he replied, I look at him shocked, but for he is the master, there must be wisdom towards this decision.

"To do so would scatter their forces, and subject their realm to the bloodlust of ten thousand aimless warriors. It will be many days before they meet, and while they march, they do not fight. You must concern yourself with more immediate threat: the men who pretend to govern in their absence."

"Give me names and I'll give you blood."

Al Mualim nods as he spoke again "So I will. Abu'l Nuquod, the wealthiest man in Damas, Majd Addin, regent of Jersusalem, William of Montferrat, liegelord of Acre."

At the same time, as if Sophie and me were thinking this: "What are their crimes?" We look at each other, I see her sheepishly look the other away, hiding her smirk. "Great minds think alike right?" she smirked.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head. I hear the master gave a small laugh as he coughed in his hand and continued to talk.

"Greed, arrogance, the slaughter of innocents. Walk amongst the people of their cities. You'll learn the secrets of their sins. Do not doubt that these men are obstacles to the peace we seek."

"Then they will die." I said viciously. Sophie eyes me; I see her scanning her eyes over me and the master.

"Another of your items is restored. Take it. See that it is put to good use. Return to me as each man falls, that we may better understand their intentions."

Al Mualim sends three carrier pigeons into the sky through the window. Sophie still kept silent, (this could be only time she has been so quiet…).

"And Altair," I hear the master speak once more, snapping my gaze away from Sophie. "Take care. Your recent work has likely attracted the attention of the city guard. They'll be more suspicious than they've been in the past."

The master passes me my equipment, taking all quickly. I take my bow and watch Sophie do the same before we both leave together.

"Sophie." Al Mualim called out. I see her turn, watching her starring at the old man. "It's good to see you back in Maysaf." The master smiles and shoo's her off in a hand gesture.

It wasn't till long that I have returned into the brothel home of the many beauties. The moment they saw me, they all rushed for hugs and begged to know where I was and thanked me for returning, many of the girls, Serah and Meera told me how much they missed me, some had tears in their eyes. I was able to slip in the back and change into my assassin's uniform. Some of the girls pleaded me to go and begged me to stay and talk to them more.

But I tutted them away and began to leave.

"Altair… " I fascinate my sash around my waist, I stare at the assassin seriously, stepping out of the brothel "Sorry for leaving," I began, licking my lips, Altair looked back at me, blinking rapidly. "But I want to go with you and stand by your side to take down the Templar's."

"Why…?" he questioned me sternly "You were forced into this. You were finally able to be home with your family. Why come back?"

I shook my head "No. I made this decision on my own." I said smiling "Besides," I say as I pull out the Eden from the red pouch "I know, if I stick with you. I might find more about this and maybe… more about myself."

He blinked several times, "You…" he began but than he grabbed the back of my hood and forced it over my eyes, making me squeal from the surprise attack. "ACK! Altair what was that for?" I asked pulling back the hood.

"A foolish act for a foolish girl." I hear him say before he turns away, walking slowly away from the garden court. I stare dumbfounded, "Come along Novice, we must make haste to Damascus."

Chasing after the assassin and down the halls and outside into the training arena, into the bright scorching hot sun, it seems my British skin is still sensitive to the rays and the heat of the sun.

Just than a couple of men and noticing Amjad racing at me, noticing me instantly, all roaring with excitement. "Sophie!" I hear them roar, some ruffled my hair and surrounded me with praise.

Amjad grabs me and lifts me in the air, I literally screamed from the sudden force in the air, whacking my fists on his shoulders, begging him to put me down. As he does, he laughs, "You're a naughty girl, sweet Sophie." Almost making that sound eally dirty than he needed to say it…

"You shouldn't leave Altair more than a month or he would have started to cry!" I hear him laugh, I look at the assassin giving Amjad the evilest glare I have ever seen.

The phrase suddenly hit me.

"I've been gone for a month?"
