Alice's Diary~
Conner and I are off to Bunker Hill to find Putnam and hopefully end Pitcairn's life. It's funny how I anticipate Pitcairn's death, how I hope for the end of the Templars. I have learned about how they've meddled in the affairs of the world for centuries and I do not appreciate their persistence. I have also learned about past assassins from Achilles. I like learning about what they fought for, but it makes me wonder why I decided to join the assassins. I don't want to say that it was heat-of-the-moment decision, but sometimes I wonder. Was I too rash? But then I remember what all those assassins before me fought for.
Honor.
Revenge.
Justice.
Answers.
I asked Conner what he fights for. He he told me he fights for his people and everyone else who is oppressed. I like that. Conner fights for Freedom and he's so sure about his cause. I wish I could be so certain. But I've decided what I'll fight for now.
I'll fight for the future. For my home.
I've had a lot of weird dreams too, about a woman named Juno. I don't know who 'Juno' is, but the name is familiar (If only vaguely). I don't think these dreams are actually dreams. They feel too real and are too detailed to be something my overactive brain came up with. They feel like memories. I guess I would be too young to remember much, but I really do think me meeting Juno was real. She did ask me if I wanted to go on an adventure and here I am, in the Revolutionary War with Conner the Assassin. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Am I reading too much into this?
Speaking of reading too much into things, what am I going to do about Timothy. I haven't seen him since the whole head injury thing, but I do care about him. It isn't even like a stupid school crush either, I actually like-like him. I think he likes me too, but I don't know. Maybe I am reading too much into our relationship.
Whatever.

P.S- I found this journal/notebook/diary thing lying around. Mine now I guess. Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers.
(Random POV)
I woke up in a bar, my head resting on a table. I blinked a few times and got up. The owner of the establishment was sweeping and I straightened my cream tricorn hat.
"Did you have a nice nap boy." growled a familiar voice. I scowled and turned to look at the owner.
"Lee." I snarled. The man in question smirked.
"It's Master Lee to you." He said smugly "Grandmaster will not be pleased. You were supposed to go to that Continental Congress nonsense with me." I smirked.
"If it's nonsense then I see no reason to go." I sassed "And you are not the master of me. I only serve the Grandmaster."
"Interesting argument." said a smooth voice. I jumped and whirled to see Haytham Kenway, Grandmaster of the Templars.
"Grandmaster!" I yelped "I didn't see you there!" Haytham surveyed me.
"That is because you were not meant to." He scowled "Why didn't you to the meeting with Charles?" I smiled nervously.
"Because I fell asleep here?" I asked nervously. Haytham raised an eyebrow and I bowed my head.
"I'm sorry Grandmaster." I apologized "I will not make this mistake in the future. I swear." Haytham surveyed me for what felt like hours.
"Make sure you don't." He said sharply "You are on probation Novice." I nodded hurriedly, nervously twisting the ring around my index finger with the red Templar cross on it. The Grandmaster turn to leave.
"Come along." He called "You are not to leave my side." Charles and I both made a move to follow.
"Just the boy Charles." Haytham scowled "As I remember, you are a grown man capable of protecting himself. Nate will be training with me from now on."
My name is Nathaniel Julian Keen and I'm a Templar. I used to play a game called Assassin's Creed, but now I am part of it. I live with my uncle because both of my parents are dead.
My sister is Diana Alice Keen and I know she is here too. I have seen her, but she never sees me. She's friends with a video game character I used to idolize, Conner Kenway.
The first time I saw her was just after I had joined the Templars (Which is amusing because I used to kill them in video games in my own time). I caught sight of her dumping crates into Boston Harbor with a red-haired boy and almost laughed, of course I would find her in the middle of everything. Her purple hair was distinct and even though I couldn't see them, I knew her dark brown eyes would be glowing in excitement. She had inherited our father's eyes, while I had our mother's pale blue orbs. My baby sister, the rebel colonist.
The second time was in Boston. She was distracting guards in front of a British fortress of sorts and she was...juggling. I watched with slight amusement as she performed many tricks in order for the same red-haired boy from the Tea Party to slip past. She had that devious smirk on her face, the one she used to wear whenever she was about to do something incredibly stupid. About a half-hour later her, the red-haired boy, and Conner were being chased by guards. I worried about her because of asthma, but she seemed to be handling it pretty well until she slid on some ice and hit her head hard on a brick wall. The red-haired boy and Conner were bickering and soon the Native American assassin left with my injured sister.
The third and most recent was at Concord. Master Kenway sent me to see how the rebels were fairing. I had kept my distance, but I knew something was up when instead of one hooded figure, I saw two. The first one was in white robes and I knew it was Conner, but the second was dark green. I watched as they fired arrow after arrow at the Redcoats, barely ever missing their mark. When the ran out of arrows, they picked up a fallen soldier's musket and started firing with the rest of the rebels. After the Redcoats turned and fled, the green hooded figure pulled down their hood, revealing a familiar purple braid.
I was surprised to learn that Alice was an assassin, but not really. Does that makes sense? I mean, she is very rebellious, but I never thought she had the guts to kill people.
Maybe the Alice I knew was different from the girl I saw at Concord.
I pulled myself out of these thoughts and focused on the task at hand. Haytham had given me some spy reports to go through. Our contacts on the patriot side were very descriptive about the 'White-hooded man' and how he fought. I didn't pay much attention until I came over a report about a the White-hooded man and his companion the 'Girl in green-robes'. I looked up to make I was alone before crumpling up the paper and stuffing it in my pocket. I knew Master Kenway wouldn't approve, but he couldn't know about her. Not yet anyway. He would just think to kill her on sight. She is an assassin now after all and Master Kenway doesn't want anyone interfering in his -No the Orders- plans.
I trusted the Order, but I knew they would not hold back just because an assassin is my sister. Maybe if I showed her the errors of Creed's ways and ideas, like Master Kenway showed me, she would be saved from the Order's blade. But until then, I would have to protect her.
I sighed and started going through the reports again. There weren't any others that mentioned Alice, most focused on Conner. I smiled in satisfaction.
My sister will remain a secret for now.
"Master Keen?" asked a voice. I jumped and got up, whirling around to look at the person who addressed me. I relaxed when I saw who it was.
"Holly." I sighed "You scared me." Holly was an African American girl who served the Templars. She was born in the colonies and 'belonged' to John Pitcairn. Her bright green eyes glowed in amusement and she brushed back her long dark hair. She was beautiful and I blushed slightly at the thought.
"Do you need something?" I asked finally. She blushed and chewed the bottom of her lip.
"I-I was wondering, since Master Pitcairn is out, if you need something." She stuttered. I smiled at her and she blushed even harder.
"No, I don't." I replied "But thank you for the concern." She walked up to me and adjusted my coat collar slightly. She froze when she noticed what she was doing and stared at me apologetically.
"S-Sorry Master Keen." She squeaked "Your coat collar was um... crooked." She looked down and I felt bad.
"It's fine." I told her "And please, call me Nate." She looked up to me in surprise and then smiled.
"Ok then." She said "...Nate." We stared at each other and then I did something incredibly bold. I leaned in slightly and my hands fell to rest on her hips. She leaned forward in response and closed her eyes.
"HOLLY!" called Master Kenway from his study. We jumped back from each other quickly.
"You better go see what he wants." I laughed awkwardly. She looked away from me.
"Yeah..." She mumbled "See you around... Nate." She left and I was alone again with only my thoughts. I tried to shake the image of her bright green orbs when they closed slowly as we almost... I banished the thoughts from my mind quickly. In my own time, Holly and I could have a relationship. The same however, was not true here. That was frowned upon and I didn't want her to get in trouble because of me.
But somehow, I didn't care.
I pushed the thoughts away and focused on the reports. I organized them and set them out for Master Kenway to go over.
"Maybe." I said to myself "Maybe it could work."
