Ezra stared at the camera in the corner of the room. Her face void of any expressions. She felt like she was going crazy. The lack of human contact and sleep was getting to her. Tonight was one of those restless nights. Usually she would read the book they had given her or write but instead she decided to think. A dangerous thing when you are by yourself.

She thought about how desperate Alicia was to not find the piece of Eden as soon as possible and how desperate her brother was to find it. They were in the same team, yet, they had opposite goals. She thought about how one of the main guards was constantly watching over her and Alicia. There were times where she was in the animus and she could hear the guard and Alicia talking in code. She had a theory that Alicia was actually a double agent. But she could be wrong.

The bleeding effect was getting to her. She couldn't always remember what year it was exactly, always shifting between 2020 and 1868. The only way she stayed grounded was by writing it down.

She blinked once, next thing she knew Alicia was kneeling beside her bed. "Why didn't you tell me?" The doctor asked.

Ezra shrugged her shoulders. "I'd rather go crazy than finding that amulet."

"Why?"

The girl sighed as she sat up. The doctor looked over at the teen, she looked exhausted. "I- there were two memories that came up last night. They weren't Carina's though."

That caught the doctors attention. "Then who's?"

Ezra didn't say anything for a bit, then she grabbed her journal and flipped towards the back. Once she found the correct page she handed it to Alicia. The doctor looked over the page.

"She originally had the piece of Eden. In the memory… The amulet did something to her. It… I don't know how to describe it." Ezra choked back tears. "But I felt it. Whatever that thing did to her it hurt so much. It felt like it was taking her life."

Alicia traced the drawing. The woman had almond shaped eyes, her hair was long and flowed down to the middle of her torso. In the drawing she had a sweet, caring smile. She closed the journal and placed it on the bed as she got up. "What else was in the memory?"

Ezra closed her eyes as she leaned against the wall. She shuddered a sigh as she rubbed her wrist. "In her memory there was someone else. I couldn't see who, but they were a Templar or an associate of them. She did cry out a name though. Alexis I think. She cried out an apology for Alexis."

Alicia sat down next to Ezra, offering her a hug. "Anything else?"

She leaned into the doctors open arms. "No, that was all for the first one. In the second one, it was someone else. They were with a Templar looking for something. When they found it, there was… there was this wave of sadness. It wasn't what they expected, they found a makeshift grave. Then the memory ended."

Alicia didn't say anything. She wrapped her arms around the tired girl and rubbed comforting circles on her back. The information Ezra told her wasn't enough to go off but it was enough to delay the search for a bit. They would make it out.

Alexander glared at the computer monitor. "Has this behavior been a recent thing?" he asked one of the guards.

"The staring at the camera or the doctor and the assassin conversing?"

"Both!" he demanded.

The guard shifted uncomfortably. "The camera thing started about a week ago, when the boss had the sessions prolonged. This is the first time we've seen your sister and the girl like this."

"Tch, it doesn't matter. They only have three days left together."

The next morning, Alexander demanded a meeting to analyze the information they've managed to collect and to remind his dear little sister of her mission.

"Any progress, Alicia?" Sophia asked.

Alicia cleared her throat as she handed her the report. "No progress on the location but last night Ezra informed me that she's been feeling the bleeding effect. She caught a glimpse of two of the previous owners. We've narrowed our search down, but to confirm the ancestors we need to continue Carina's memories."

"Hmm, do we have a name of said ancestors?" Alexander asked.

Alicia paused. "No."

"No?" Sophia tossed the report on the table. "What do you mean no?"

"Wha- I- there's no record of these ancestors, anywhere. I also don't have enough information to know which time period the ancestors are from."

She continued, "Remember, Rosa had little to no idea who her real ancestors were."

"What does she have to do with any of this!?" Alexander practically shouted. Sophia sighed. Every meeting concerning Ezra ended up with Alicia and Alexander in an argument, any small mention of Rosa and he would go off, she was tired.

"She has everything to do with this!" Alicia shot back. "She's the girl's mother, but thanks to YOU not being careful she got caught and disposed of! For all we know we are looking at the father's ancestor!"

"She is not one of our ancestors!"

The room went silent.

"Oh?"

Shit.

Alicia looked between her boss and brother. One glance at her brother and she knew he didn't tell her.

"Is there something you neglected to tell me?" Sophia asked. The threatening tone she used was enough to make the two siblings flinch. "Do I have to remind you what we are doing here? Anything you know about her you report to me. So please, tell me why you neglected to tell me you are the assassin's father!"

Ezra and Alicia's favorite guard spent the entire morning having a stare off for no reason. The guard, according to the assassin, had the prettiest eyes she had seen. So here they are, sitting across each other with Ezra staring deeply into their eyes while the guard tries to do paperwork and keep an eye on her until the meeting ends. Not even five minutes later a pissed Sofia bursts into the room with Alicia and Alexander trailing behind like scolded puppies.

The guard and assassin shared a confused look before the guard stood up. "Please leave us," Sofia demanded as she approached Ezra. The guard nodded their head and left making slight eye contact with Alicia.

Ezra stayed in her seat quietly afraid to even breathe.

"The amulet, what do you know about?" Sophia asked.

Ezra shrugged her shoulders. "It's most likely in America. In one of Sebastian's journals it mentions how his sister was allowed to analyze the amulet with permission of their grandma when he left. Starrick doesn't know of its existence nor does Thorne- which is surprising because I thought Lucy and Carina were close as friends."

"Don't know what it does, but it hurts whatever it is."

Sophia seemed satisfied with that response, time for the next question. "Do you have any other living relatives?"

Ezra scrunched her face in confusion. "Not that I am aware of. Sophia, Sebastian's sister, had no kids, never married - well legally anyway. Mom was an only child, don't know anything about my dad… I may have a distant cousin, but I'm not too sure…"

Sophia hummed as she crossed her arms. Ezra avoided her stare, opting to look at the ground instead. After a slight pause, Sophia ordered Alicia and Alexander to continue the investigation but not without telling Alexander something that left him pale in the face. The young girl decided to stay silent as they got the animus prepared.

"Remember Ezra, we're on a time limit, get as much information as possible." Alicia pleaded.

"I'll make no promise," Ezra responded. "Let's just start the session. Please."
