Don't Want You To Worry

Abby's POV:

I sat in one of the pubs in Southwark listening to a group of Blighters talking but nothing they said caught my attention, ever since Charles told me that Alistair and Priscilla were looking for me I decided to lay low on my missions, which means I can't be out in the open as much and if I have to go stealth I got to make sure I use my eagle vision to make sure I don't get kidnapped or sneak attack.

I didn't tell Jacob or Evie about what is happening because I don't want them to worry about me but I have told Henry, he says he'll find out how they know about me, what do they want and won't tell Jacob or Evie as well but he said for me to be careful.

I glanced around the pub still listening to more of what the Blighters were talking about till they decided to leave, I sighed setting my elbow on the table leaning my chin against the palm of my hand 'I hate doing this but it's the only way I can lay low' I thought taking a look outside the window and saw Jacob walking across the street wearing new clothes he bought after meeting a woman named Pearl Attaway, she owns Attaway Transport and is Malcolm Millner's competition who is run by Starrick, even through Jacob is helping her I have a feeling there is something off about her and I'm starting to feel jealous of her but I shouldn't be.

He walks into the pub looking around as I fully looked at his new clothes and couldn't help but think how nice looking he looks, I mean he always is without the new clothes but this time he is more nice looking especially with the top hat. As I looked at him up and down our eyes locked on to each other and he walked over sitting down in front of me "I have been looking all over for you. Greenie said I would find you here" he said.

"Yeah I'm trying to follow up on some leads but so far I haven't been getting a thing" I said.

"Well it's good thing I found you before you got more bored" he chuckled "I need your help with something"

"What is it?" I asked.

"Do you know what are internal combustion engines?" he asked glancing around to make sure there are no Blighters around to listen in on our conversation.

I looked away thinking then back at him "Yeah. They are the first motorized bus engines, the ones that ended the horse transport" I answered.

"They are?"

"Yeah" I nodded then gave him a funny look "How do you know about them?" I asked.

"Pearl Attaway needs me to get them and bring them to her so it will end Malcolm Millner's company" he answered smirking a little.

"Hmm" I looked away getting that jealous feeling "Was that all you wanted?" I asked.

"That and..." I feel his gloved hand from his gauntlet taking my hand into his I looked at our hands then at him to see him look at me with concern "Did I do something wrong the day we spent together?" he asked.

I shook my head "No you didn't, Jacob. Why do you ask that?" I asked.

"While ever since Charlie talked to you that night about something, you've been acting strange. Like you're avoiding me"

"I'm not avoiding you"

"Then tell me what is wrong?" he asked still holding my hand.

I opened my mouth about to tell him but I closed it and looked away "I want to tell you, Jacob. Really I do but I don't want you to worry or lose focus on your mission" I said.

He sighed then moved his hand away from mine causing me to look at him as he stood up "I would still worry no matter what" he said not looking at me and walked out of the pub. I sat there for a couple of minutes till I stood up and ran out of the pub I didn't know where I was going but I didn't care I just wanted to run wherever my legs were going to take me.

Once I felt my legs and lungs burning I decided to stop leaning the palms of my hands on my knees as I took deep breaths to calm my heart rate down, I didn't realize I was crying till I felt something wet hit my hand and sniffled 'I'm sorry Jacob' I thought as I cried leaning my back against a building and slid down sitting on the ground bringing my knees to my chest "I'm so sorry" I whispered hugging my knees and cried.

As I sat there crying and listening to the people pass by I heard "Abby?", I looked up and saw Evie look at me with concern "Are you alright?" she asked kneeling down next to me.

I sniffled wiping my tears "Yeah. Just a little upset" I answered.

She sighed out of frustration "What did my brother do this time?"

I shook my head "It wasn't him. It was me" I looked down hugging my knees, "What happened?" she asked.

I sighed closing my eyes "I can't say Evie. I'm sorry but I don't want you to worry also"

"Abby, you can tell me and I promise I won't worry. I know you can handle yourself" she said. I reopened my eyes and looked at her "You promise you won't tell Jacob also?", she nods "You have my word" she said.

I told her everything, Alistair and Priscilla looking for me, them being friends with her father Ethan Frye and what happened in the pub with Jacob "Did you know that Alistair and Priscilla were your father's friends?" I asked.

"I did but my father stopped talking to them after my mother died"

"Did he say why?" I asked.

"Priscilla had a premonition about my mother's death and warned my father about it, he listened to her and thought there could be a way to stop it from it happening but there wasn't. He blamed her from for seeing my mother's death and stopped having contact with her and Alistair" she said.

"Premonition? Like she can see into the future?"

She nodded "Yes. Did your father tell about that?"

I shook my head "He didn't tell me much about my ancestors other than they were Assassins, I read some Assassin books about them and all I got was the information I know. Not one thing says anything about Priscilla having premonitions"

"It could probably be because some people thought of it as some type of witchcraft, my father said that when she was 15 years old she was asked to leave Ireland because of her premonitions"

'That's why she and her older brother Daniel moved to London when she was 15. She was basically kicked out of Ireland because everyone thought she was a witch' I thought looking away feeling like I shouldn't be hiding from her and Alistair 'She probably had a premonition about me being here in London and wants to met me' "Evie, do you think I should met her and Alistair to find out what they want from me?" I asked looking back at her.

"I think you should, Abby. Her and Alistair are highly trained Assassins, they won't stop looking for you till you are found" she answered.

I nodded noticing it's getting to be late afternoon "We should probably head back to the hideout train" I said getting up, brushing the dirt of my pants then helped Evie up.

"Yes we should. Jacob's probably worried about you" she said as we started walking towards the train station, I shook my head "I doubt it, Evie. He is all into Miss Pearl Attaway I don't think he would care about what happens to me" I said.

"That's not true Abby he does care about you, I can see it in his eyes when he asked Henry and I today if we saw you" she said "I have never seen him care so much about someone before in his life"

I looked at her "Really?"

She nods "Don't let what he did towards you today upset you or make you think he doesn't care, he just wants you to trust him and to know you can talk to him about anything"

I smiled a little "Thanks Evie", she smiled back then we made our way towards the train station, once we got on the hideout train Evie headed to her car I noticed Jacob wasn't in the main car 'He's probably still out on his mission' I thought walking to my car 'Hopefully he'll be back soon so we can talk' I walked in and saw laying my desk a bouquet of lilies, I smiled softly picking them up 'Jacob must have gotten these for me before he went out looking for me' I thought looking at the flowers then set then back down on the desk and went to look for Jacob but when I turned around to leave he stood right there, which almost made me have a heart attack.

"Good god Jacob! Are you trying to give me a heart attack at a young age?!" I asked putting my hand over my heart to calm it down.

"Why didn't you tell me your great, great, great, great grandparents were looking for you?" he asked out of nowhere, I looked at him funny "How did-" then it hit me "You were spying on me and Evie when we were talking" I said.

"Yes but I followed you when you ran out of the pub to see what was really wrong" he said "It was the only way for me to know", I looked down feeling bad knowing I should be mad at him for spying on me and Evie but he had a reason "I'm sorry Jacob. I wanted to tell you but I didn't want you to worry" I said.

"Like I said before I would still worry no matter what but you're an Assassin and I should let you do your own missions" I slowly looked up at him "And I am sorry too, love" he said.

I smiled a little "I forgive you, Jacob" he smiled back then we went to the main car and talked, I told him everything Evie told me and it comes to find out Jacob knew about them too but not very much then he told me something I never know and sparked his interest to do fight clubs. Alistair was a fighter in the underworld fight clubs in London and become a champion before he met Priscilla.

"So now what are you going to do about Alistair and Priscilla?" he asked as we sit on the couch.

I shrugged "I guess I'll just have to let them come to me. I'll go back to doing missions out in the open and see what happens"

"Would you want me, Evie or Greenie with you?" he asked.

"It would depend on the mission I'm on" I answered then looked at him "Did you find the internal combustion engines?" I asked.

"Not yet. I need to find Ned in order to get the engines onto a second train" he answered, Ned Wynert is a transgender businessman who is actually a criminal, he uses London's transit system as a business cover to rob the shipments coming into the city. Jacob, Evie, Henry and I meet him one day after a mission he was on the train talking to Agnes then talked to us if we wanted to learn more about his business and gave us his address, Jacob and Evie checked him out and become our ally, in return we help him hijack cargos from the Blighters.

"Then let's go out and look for him" I said then stood up as did Jacob "We can finds those engines together and get them to Pearl tonight or sometime tomorrow"

He smiled "That would be great" he said as we walked off the train and found a carriage, we looked all over the city till the Rooks informed us that Ned was arrested by the police and gave us the location on where he is. Jacob stood on top of the roof looking at the police carriage where Ned is being held while I paid some guys to tip over the carriage making it look like I hit something then walked around the corner towards the police "Excuse me!" I waved to them "Could you gentlemen help me please?"

They all get off the carriages and walk over towards me "What seems to be the problem, miss?" One of them asked.

"I hit something and my carriage tipped over. No one is hurt but I need to get home to my sick aunt" I said sound worried then they offered to help me, as they walked around the corner to the carriage I looked at Jacob and nodded for him to get Ned. As the policemen were getting the carriage up and attaching the horse to it I looked through the window of the building using my eagle version to see Jacob breaking Ned out of the police carriage and walking away.

I thanked the policemen after they were done and let them get back to their carriages once they were around the corner I turned around to see Jacob and Ned made their way towards me "Thank you so much Abigail" Ned said walking to me and gave me a hug "I don't know how I could ever repay you"

"Just don't get arrested again. One of them tried to ask me out on a date but I had to lie and tell him I'm already with someone" I said as he pulled away then the three of us got on the carriage and headed towards the train station.


"Millner's pulling a lot of cargo there!" Ned informed us as we stood on a train that he uses for when he steals from other trains, the plan to get the engines is very simple Jacob and I get on the train that is carrying them, find the engines, take out any Blighters in our way and detach the car.

"Just be sure to make the transfer!" Jacob said as we approached the Millner's train.

"Give 'em hell!" we looked back at Ned and smirked "Oh, we will" I said pulling my hood over my head climbed to the roof of the train, Jacob followed as Ned was giving orders to the Rooks. Jacob grabbed my wrist causing me to look at him "I want you to look for those engines while I take out the Blighters" he said.

I nodded "Okay. Be careful Jacob"

"You too, love" he said then jumped onto Millner's train then I soon followed him, he took out one Blighter then went after two others as I used my hidden blade to open the first crate and looked in it "Nope. This one is not it" I said.

"On to the next one" he said as we went on to the next car, the same as the first crate there's no engine in the second one 'Hopefully this last crate is the one' I thought opening it and saw it, the internal combustion engine "This is the one here!" I said looking at Jacob.

"Alright, love! Detach the car!" he went to one end of the car I went to the other, once the car was detached it slowed down as Ned's train pulled up and he came over to the car, Jacob opened the crate to see the engine "The internal combustion engine" he scoffed looking at the engine "The end of horse-drawn transport. It's like gazing into the future" Jacob said as Ned and I looked at the engine as well.

"And what is the going rate for the future, do you think?" Ned asked.

"Oh, we're not selling them" he said pulling out a piece of paper from the inside of his coat and handed it to Ned.

He looked it over "You're giving them to your contact?" he raised an eyebrow in question looking at Jacob.

"You'll be paid all the same" he said looking back at the engine.

"Who is this Pearl, anyway? How long have been working with her?" Ned asked.

"She's a business partner" he answered then Ned giving him a weird look that asked 'She really a business partner or something else?' "That's all you need to know" he said and Ned left it at that but he gave me a look of concern I just shook my head and mouthed 'It'll be alright' then the Rooks put the engines onto Ned's train and we all went to where the engines are suppose to go.

After dropping off the engines Jacob and I headed towards the hideout train, which was not that far from where we are, we passed a pub when some of the Rooks called for Jacob to come and have a drink with them he looked at me smiling "Would you like to join me for a pint?" he asked.

I shook my head "Maybe another time. I'm getting tired and would like to go to bed" I said then let out a yawn covering my mouth "Sorry"

"It's alright, love. I can walk you to the train, if you want me to?"

"No it's okay Jacob, you go and have fun but don't get too drunk" I smiled at the last part, he chuckled moving a strand of my hair out of my face "Sleep well Abby. I'll see you in the morning on the train but if I don't then I will see you when one of us gets back" he said.

I nodded "Goodnight Jacob"

"Goodnight Abby" I watched him walk towards the pub then headed towards the train, once I got there I went to my car and saw a box on my bed along with a note attached to it. I picked up the note and read it:

'Dear Abigail,

I have been watching you for sometime now and I must say you have captured my attention quiet well. Come to the Alhambra Music Hall east side of Leicester Square in the Strand, I'll be waiting for you. Oh and the dress in the box is my gift to you, I think you would look quiet beautiful in it.

Maxwell Roth'

'The leader of the Blighters wants to meet me? But why?' I thought reading over the note again then looked at the box, I set the note down and opened the box to see a beautiful red and white satin Victorian dress 'This is beautiful but I don't think I should go see him by myself' I thought as I closed the box and went to the pub to show Jacob the note.

I walked in the pub looking around for Jacob till spotted him sitting at a table with some Rooks, I went call his name when someone grabbed me from behind and covered my mouth with a cloth to prevent me from screaming as they dragged me out of the pub "Get her to the carriage!" a male voice said then I blacked out.
