Protecting

Abby's POV:

We walked towards Evie's car seeing her look at some papers on her desk Jacob walked over looking over her shoulder "Ah another exciting night home for Evie Frye" he said sitting in her chair putting his feet up on her desk.

"Just on my way out actually. I found the Piece of Eden" she said glancing at him then back at the papers, "What's this one going to do? Heal the sick? Deflect bullets? Control the populace?" he asked as I walked over to them.

"They're dangerous objects Jacob. Especially in Templar hands" she said with a serious voice, he chuckled "You sound exactly like father"

She turned to look at him "If only" then she moved his feet off her desk to show him a picture of a woman "Lucy Thorne is expecting a shipment tonight. She's Starrick's expert in the occult" I looked at picture studying it as she continue "I'm nearly certain she is receiving the Piece of Eden Sir David Brewster mentioned" she looked back at the papers.

"Sounds like fun. Mind if I join you?" he asked, she looked at him with a serious face "Promise you will stick to the mission"

"I swear" he did the cross over his chest they went to leave when I asked "Can I come too?", they looked back at me "It shouldn't take us long to do so stay here" Jacob said.

I nodded in understanding then they left, I sat on the couch in main car waiting and looking at the assassination wall studying it as best as I could then started reading one Charles's books called David Copperfield, after reading a couple chapters I feel my eyes get heavy and fell asleep with the book laying on my lap.

About 2 hours later I woke up to someone putting a blanket on me and opened my eyes to see Jacob, he looked at me and smiled "Sorry if I woke you" he said.

"It's okay. I probably needed to get up to help you with the mission" I said sitting up, "I already took care of it. I just got back about 5 minutes ago"

"Oh, but why didn't you wake me?" I asked.

"You looked so peaceful I didn't want to wake you" he answered truthfully "Plus it's a good thing you didn't go" he started telling me everything about what was going on at the asylum that made my blood boil, "Monster" I said after he was done telling me.

He nodded "But now he is died and soothing syrup has stopped"

I sighed a relief "That's good. Now the people of London will not have to suffer from that poison anymore" I said feeling my anger calm down a little bit then yawned covering my mouth "I guess I better head back to Henry's shop" I stood up and went to leave when Jacob grabbed my wrist standing up too "Actually you don't have to go back there" he said.

I looked at him confused "What do you mean?"

He didn't answer me all he did was have me follow him through the pub car into another car that is between it and the last car, the car looked just almost like Evie's but different colors, light purple and grey. I looked around still confused till he said "The Rooks and I attached this car to the train. It's yours"

I turned around to look at him surprised "It-it is?"

He nodded "Only if you want it", I looked around the car again then back at him "But why did you do this?" I asked.

"Because I figured you would be going on missions with Evie and I every so often and decided to have you stay with us on the train" he answered.

I smiled softly "Thank you Jacob"

He smiled back "You're welcome Abby. I will see you in the morning" he said and walked out closing the door behind him, I changed out of my Assassin's outfit and into a nightgown then laid down and was fast asleep.

Jacob's POV:

As I walked back to my car I know I should have told Abby the real reason why she is staying with us but I don't want her to worry plus I want to be closer to her.

I have been in love with her since the day Evie and I met her but I haven't told anyone about it besides some of the Rooks who said I should get to know her and show her how much I care about her before I go confessing my feelings for her. These past couple days with her have been great and don't want her to leave every time she goes back Henry's shop so I decide to find another train car that looked almost like Evie's but different colors, the Rooks helped me attached it to the hideout train and was going to surprise her the next morning but tonight when I was helping Evie on her mission I heard some Templars talking about a plan.

~*~ Flashback~*~

"Whatever she is after is in that chest" Evie said as we were the shipment point.

"There are gunmen on the rooftops" I pointed out to Evie as I look to see how many guards there are.

"Can you depose of them before I get to the cart?" she asked.

I looked at her "I was hoping for a challenge" I joked, she looked at me smirking a little then I went to take care of the snipers. After I was done with them I climb down the rooftop hearing one of the Templars talking "So what do you know about this girl that Starrick wants?" he asked.

"All I know is she has a Piece of Eden that he may need, it's called the Time Turned" the other Templar answered, I slowly climb down then sneaked over to hear them better "Starrick has knew about her for quiet a while now, Elliotson was suppose to kidnap her days ago but the leader of the Rooks showed up and they left"

'Days ago?' I thought thinking back to when Abby and I were looking for a carriage to meet up with Evie and Henry in Lambeth, she told me she had a feeling someone watching her and it scared her 'It was Elliotson'

"But Elliotson said he will not fail, he has plans to kidnap her very soon and take her to Starrick" he said.

"And if she refuse?" the other Templar asked.

"Then I guess we will have some fun with her" he answered as they laughed making my blood boil then my anger got the best of me and killed them both with my hidden blade "Oi you there!"I looked to see Miss Throne and one of the big Templars saw me killed the two men and ran towards me then I quickly throw a smoke bomb and ran back to the cart where Evie is.

~*~End flashback~*~

After I heard that I knew I couldn't let her come with me on the mission, first I was going to try and talk her out of coming with me but when I saw she asleep on the couch reading a book I decided to go and hurry up with the mission as fast as I can so I could get back before she woke up.

I took off my cap and coat hanging them on the coat rack then walked over to the assassination wall and crossing off Elliotson's picture, I looked at Starrick's picture starting to glare at it 'I will make sure you won't get Abby' I thought 'I would rather die than to have you get your hands on her' I glared at the picture one last time then laid down on the couch and went to sleep.
