Hello audio monkeys! Sorry it took so long for my to update anything. I am literally working 6 am to 2 pm shifts all week and I have one day off. So my life is basically working and sleeping. It sucks, but I'm trying a little bit harder to update all the stories. Anyway, here is chapter 4. Again sorry for the long wait.

I do not own any of the Fast and the Furious characters or Assassin's Creed characters! I only own my OC!

Enjoy!

Chapter 4: The Truth Hurts, Doesn't It?

Seraphina Ortiz's POV

When we walked into the old run down factory, I became nervous. They guys were already working on getting the surveillance for the police station and obtain any other information we need. I walked next to Dom while Desmond walked in front of us. He glanced back at me and I slightly shook my head. Desmond walked towards Tej and Han who are working on how to get a remote control car into the police station. Dom motioned me to his car and I swallowed the lump in my throat.

As we reached towards his car, I clenched my fists at my side as I went to sit on top of the front of his car and pulled my knees towards my chest. I felt Dom sitting next to me and heard him sigh.

"I need to know." I closed my eyes and slightly bowed my head. "I need to know what really happen to you." I wrapped my arms around my knees and felt my tears running down my face. "I know about the car crash." My eyes snapped open and I slightly looked at Dom. "That crash should have killed you." I tightened my arms around my knees and bit my bottom lip nervously.

"I wanted to tell you." I told him. It wasn't the whole truth, but it would be the truth on how I survive the fatal car crash. At least, it will give him something to hold onto I guess. "I was going to tell you when all of this was over, but I guess I wasn't ready to tell you." I glanced at Dom and he nodded in understanding.

"Desmond was the one to save you." I nodded not even trying to deny it.

"After that he took me in. He knew I didn't stand a chance trying to survive the streets. Desmond helped me get back on track. He knew I couldn't get go back home. I had no one to go home too. So, I traveled with him to Italy. He kept me safe, made sure I didn't get into trouble."

"You still have an act for trouble." Dom interrupted and I couldn't help, but let out a soft chuckle and shook my head with a small smile on my face. I let out a soft sigh and turned my head so I'm actually looking at Dom.

"Give Desmond a chance Dom." I asked him. "He's family. He's my unofficial older brother." I pleaded to Dom and I felt his arm wrap around my shoulders. Dom pulled me closer to him and rest his chin on top of my head.

"He's already family when he saved you." He whispered to me and I could feel the tears already prickling in the corners of my eyes. "Because of him you're alive. He saved you from the brinks of death. You're here, that's all that matters. So, I have Desmond to thank for that." He said and my smile started to widened. It may not be the whole truth she wanted to tell him, but it was enough. She will tell Dom about the Brotherhood, but I will save that for another day. Dom has a lot on his plate and I don't want him to be overwhelmed. Plus, I don't want him to worry about me while we're on the job. Maybe I should limit myself from going on other jobs. I don't want him to be a distraction for Dom. He's the leader of this crew and if he gets distracted because of me then something could go wrong during the job. What if someone gets hurt on the job? I can't do that. I can't do that to the team or to Dom. I don't want to lose anyone else.

"Hey Dom." We both snapped our heads towards the voice and saw O'Connor standing a few feet in front of us. "Can I talk to Seraphina for a minute?" I stiffened against Dom's embrace and my shoulders started to tense up. I glanced at O'Connor who just looked down right uncomfortable. I gently patted Dom's leg and looked at him with a small smile.

"Go, help the others. I'll be there in a few minutes." Dom slowly nodded and removed his arm from my shoulders and got off the roof of his car.

"Shout if you need anything." He told me and walked away. I nodded as he walked past O'Connor, but he put his hand on the ex-cop's shoulder and whispered something in his ear. I sighed and rested my chin on top of my arms. My eyes started to close of exhaustion and the stress on my shoulders started to weigh in. Traveling is starting to take a toll on me. Maybe I should take a nap later. However, that nap is going to have to wait when I feel O'Connor's presence near me.

"What do you want O'Connor?" I said with a soft voice and I heard him sigh.

"Why didn't you come to the funeral?" My posture stiffened even more. The mentions of my sister is making my heart ache with pain. I can feel a dull pain in my chest and I unconsciously rub my chest.

"I don't want to talk about this." With that I got up from the roof of Dom's car and tried to walk away from O'Connor, but he stopped me by grabbing my arm. I tensed under his touch and clenched my fists at my side. I glanced back at him and saw his light blue eyes are piercing into my soul.

"You can't keep running away Seraphina. You have to come to terms with Letty's death." I glared at him and jerked my arm away from his grasp.

"I'm not running from anything O'Connor! You have no idea what I've been through! I lost the only family I had left! Letty was everything to me and you took her away from me! You're the one who tore this family apart!" I shouted at him. "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be here right now! None of us would be running for our lives! We lost our home because of you! We lost Letty because of you! I lost the only family I have left because of you!" My shouts made everyone stop what they were doing and watched me yell at O'Connor. I didn't care if Dom trusted O'Connor, he got Letty killed. I needed to get this off of my chest. "Did you ever think on how this would affect me in the long run!?" I questioned O'Connor. "You put my sister's life in danger when you decided to let her be your informant for Braga's cartel!" O'Connor's eyes slightly went at the mentions of Braga. I let out a humorless laugh and shook my head. "You I don't know that you put her in one of the most well-known drug cartel!?" I couldn't stop myself. Everything I had felt towards O'Connor just came bubbling out of my mouth. All the anger and rage towards O'Connor, it all just slipped out. "You ruined Letty's and mine's life! You took her away from me! My home! My family! My life! It's all gone!"

"Sera!" I faintly heard Desmond's voice and Dom's, trying to tell me to stop, but it was too late. The words I said to O'Connor I could never take back. He now knows how much pain I am still in because of him. Everything I had kept bottled up inside of me poured out like a running waterfall. I was heavily panting, my cheeks were flushed and I could feel the pain in my chest knocked me like I ran into a brick wall. My eyes went wide and I looked around to see the faces of everyone in pure shock at my outburst towards O'Connor. I lightly shook my head and took a few steps back.

"I'm sorry." I whispered out and then I bolted out of the ruined factory building. I needed to get out of there. I needed to get away from everyone's stares. O'Connor had struck a nerve. The words I said to him, he was never supposed to know how I truly feel. Especially in front of Dom. He wasn't supposed to hear them either. As I burst through the doors and the sunlight blindsided me. My vision blurred for a few seconds and then I started running at full speed. I didn't hear Desmond or anyone come after me so I jumped towards a ledge of a building and started stealth climbing. I pulled myself up towards the top of a building and walked towards the ledge on the other side of the building. I pulled my hood over my head to cover half of my face so no one can know who I am. This life of the Assassin, it takes a hold on you. It put a lot of stress on your shoulders. It takes a hold on your life, but it makes the world a better place. At least, I thought it was. The light warm breeze brushed against the loose strains of my hair and I closed my eyes. Even when I told the truth about my feelings towards O'Connor, my heart still hurts. The exposed truth was never the answer. Not one bit.
