I own nothing of the Assassins creed series.

Holy shit I'm back faster than expected

Chapter 7: The High Road

Location: Abstergo Entertainment

Monday came way too fast.

I had spent the weekend reading or staring at the TV watching whatever was on.

As long as it wasn't historical I watched it. I needed a break from anything resembling the DDS. Unfortunately that seemed to mean any console I had. The closest I got was flicking my remote.

But back to the grind. I remember praying to get this job.

Now after last week I'm wondering if I made the best decision.

But as I walked into the building I noticed Ms. Da Costa. She pointed at me and then to the door.

Seriously not even a fucking minute in the building before I have a problem.

As I walked into the room I noticed Gavina frowning at me.

Or was she frowning at Violet?

I hope it was her.

Location: Violet Da Costa's Office

As I sat there she stared at me.

I stared at her.

Finally she groaned and turned to her whiteboard. "Do you know I called you in here?"

"Well you didn't call me in here, you pointed at me and pointed to the door."

Violet glare could melt steel at that moment. "Seriously? It's about the memories you've being reviewing" "I mean I know, I just don't think we needed to have a conversation in person, you couldn't have sent me an email?"

"I just wanted to reiterate the importance of the research your making, with what you find from those un-sequenced memories you could help rewrite history!"

"Aight. Can I leave now?" "I- YES!"

I walked out hearing Violet mutter to herself.

I fast walked as quickly as possible to the elevator. As I ascended I saw Gavina frown at me.

Oh God, this was gonna be a fun week.

Location: My Office/Hangout

Back to my home away from home. I hopped onto my orange chair and pulled the DDS onto my head.

I don't do much in this room do I? All this space and I barely do anything in here. But that's not important is it?

Let's continue this training crap with Mr. Assassin Guy

*DDS LOADING*

Back into the memory Corridor. I should probably just use it to think and plan my da-

*DDS LOADED*

As the world loaded around me the title of the memory scrolled past the screen

The High Road

Ezio will teach me to scale walls quickly and to leap across Roma's rooftops. I have practiced some, but I cannot move at nor anywhere near the speed of my new master.

The world exploded in white light and finally I was Francesco again. Only the memory started with me on a rooftop and Ezio mockingly bows to me before jumping over a chimney. Francesco is startled and scrambles forward.

Wait what's happening?

While I am still asking questions, he scrambles up a wall! I struggle to keep up with him! Ezio grabs the lip of the roof and pulls himself to the top! I try to mimic his movement and nearly lose my footing!

I move as quickly as possible across the rooftops. Francesco is a very amateurish free runner. I mean I wouldn't fare any better. But Francesco was stumbling at any sharp turn. I/he tumbled onto an awning and quickly scramble back to the roof before any civilian saw him/me.

I watch Ezio as he navigates three rooftops. His head is always moving, always scanning for the easiest route to the next landing. He knows his next move before he even lands! I follow his path, imitating his choices. I am clumsy, but I begin to develop a feel for the technique!

He really was catching up and learning. Controlling him was getting easier and he wasn't stumbling as much as before. I would be tapping Ezio's shoulder in no-

AND THEN I GOT STRUCK BY A FUCKING ARROW.

An arrow strikes my shoulder! I scoop it up and duck behind a structure to avoid further fire. The arrow is padded. Blunt. A training arrow? I poke out to find my attacker he sends another arrow straight into my forehead. I curse at him! Ezio shouts for me to keep moving!

That motherfucker was going down. Then I'm breaking the archer's jaw with my foot.

I stand again, careful to watch my path as I dash to the next rooftop. I scout for the archer and find him two buildings over. I charge!

I was rushing at the archer moving as fast as he could. I threw myself to the ground. And rolled even further. I am struck occasionally but by the time I reach the first roof he's missing every shot.

His shots are accurate, but slow! The weight of the padding interferes with his precision, forcing him to hesitate before firing, but he has learned to compensate. Still, I am able to read his shots and move accordingly.

I leap between buildings, finally reaching the same rooftop as my attacker. He shoots an arrow into my knee, interfering with the balance of my landing and I tumble!

That motherfucker! I fell and slammed down on my face. I stared at the screen. Francesco was unmovable, which meant that this was a cut scene.

Ezio climbs up the side of the building and then helps me to my feet. He is grinning.

This is isn't funny you fucker.

The world zoomed out and the memory corridor returned

*EXITING THE DDS*

I pulled the animus off my head and sighed.

I wonder if doing all this crap would make it easier to stay out of Violet de Bitchface's sight.

I sighed and walked out the door. I hope I could lunch without any problems. I closed my door and turned around to find Gavina waiting for me.

Oh My God.

Why.
