Hi! This chapter was not updated yesterday because I had to study for two tests, and I passed them! Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi everyone! I apologize that my character Serenity doesn't really fit the part for an 'assassin' but… I'll change her mood; she will probably be different in the next couple of chapters. Her attitude will change very quickly, just warning you all ahead of time. And by the way! They are all young right now! That is why Malik and Altair are… different.
I still can't believe that Faber Drive came to our town… XD (Hugs Faber Drive t-shirt)
Anymoos, I hope you guys enjoy it. And I still can't believe it's not butter!
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN ALTAIR!! (Cries) I wish that I did but… I don't. (Hugs Altair plushy).

Altair sat on the floor of the medical wing in the brotherhood, cradling a girl's small figure in his lap.
She slept peacefully, not as bad as when she was in the bed, maybe she had been having a bad dream?
Altair shook his head, that didn't matter; the only thing that mattered now was her.
Altair dragged himself and the girl to the wall, carefully, and quietly. He rested his back against the smooth surface of the wall, and he rested her head in his lap once again.
His right hand must've had a mind of it's own, for it kept slowly rubbing the girls forehead, in a comforting matter.
"Wow." Altair turned his head towards the door; Malik was standing there, gaping at him.
"What?" Altair asked in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Well, I'll tell you what, it's not everyday that you see your 'Ohh so tough and unbreakable warrior assassin friend' break down and actually comfort someone… especially a girl at that."
Malik laughed to himself, he was not going to let Altair live this down.
"Malik… you would have done the same thing. The thing that this girl is going through right now is very shocking to her. I just… couldn't stand seeing her like that I guess…" Altair answered truthfully, sighing all the while.
Malik gave a saddened grin, "Yeah… You're right, I probably would have… But just you wait until the guys hear about this one!" Malik giggled and launched himself out of the room as a pillow was sent flying past his head.
"Ha! Missed!" He sprinted off down the hallway.
"Damnit." Altair shook his head, now what were they guys going to think about him?
Altair looked around the room, now what? 'What should I do?'
After two hours of resting against the wall, he decided that he should probably put her back in the bed.
'I don't want her to wake up cranky because her back hurts or something…' Altair slowly lifted her head from his lap, and slid out and away from it.
Grabbing a hold of her very slowly, he cradled her in his arms once again, before placing her in the bed, and under the blankets.
Watching her sleeping face, he smiled to himself and sighed. 'Instead of taking a life, I have saved one' He felt pleased with himself, now to go find Malik.
I awoke with the sudden chill that nobody was in the room with me anymore.
Opening my eyes, I found that I had guessed right.
The door was closed; I pulled myself out of the bed recklessly.
I made my way over to the window on the left hand wall and poked my head out, my eyes widened as I looked around in wondrous joy.
This place that I was in, it was beautiful!
I looked around in astonishment as the clean breeze flowed through my hair.
My eyes wandered around, taking in the sight of every bird and tree; this was amazing!
I closed my eyes, enjoying the feeling of being so high up in the sky. I've never been in a building so high before!
I scanned the medium sized lake, my eyes drinking up every little detail in the process.
But enough sight seeing! I turned away from the window; I could look out of it later.
I sighed, I felt lonely, maybe I should go find Altair.
I slowly made my way to the closed door, 'Maybe, I should just stay here… but… I… just don't know.' I took a deep breath.
'Look, Serenity, if you're ever going to get revenge, you can't back down!' I scolded myself, I reached out for the doorknob.
The cold metal of the doorknob soothed my singed fingers, I sighed in relief, turning the doorknob.
I peeked my head out the door, looking around I found that nobody was in the hallways. I took a couple steps foreword, out of the room, and into the hallway.
Blinking a couple of times, I shut the door behind me.
I trudged through the hallway, peering from side to side, 'Where could he be?' I questioned myself. I heard a noise from ahead of me; someone was coming this way!
I hid behind one of the hallway pillars; this place kind of reminded me of a church, or brotherhood of some sort. The footsteps grew closer, I felt me heartbeat quicken.
I stole a quick glance from the side of the pillar. Luckily this said person hadn't seen me peeking at them.
It was another person wearing the exact same robes that Altair had worn.
I backed away from the hallway, trying to hide in the corner of the pillar.
The person passed, I caught a brief look at his face. It was Altair!
He seemed to be troubled or thinking very deeply, for he didn't even know that I was there.
I launched myself from behind the pillar and grabbed onto Altair back, making us both tumble onto the floor.
"Altair!" I cried his name into his back.
He was shocked; he hadn't noticed that someone was there. He had luckily braced himself for the impact on the floor; his forearm had taken most of the weight.
"Ow." Altair groaned aloud, who tackled him, it couldn't have been Malik, for it sounded like a girl, and it wasn't very heavy.
The 'It' that he was referring to in his mind finally slid off of him, apologizing quickly.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to make you fall over! I just… I was excited to see you… I guess?" I quickly reassured him that I wasn't an attacker of any sort.
Altair rolled over onto his back, and sat up, rubbing the back of his head.
"It's okay, may I ask if you always jump on people the you have just met?" He asked, sarcasm oozing in from his voice.
My face went completely red.
"U-uh… No! I uh. Well, I'm in a strange place with strange people and my family… my family… You are the only one I can trust right now." I answered him truthfully. I was really telling the truth because, well, my family, and friends 'Not that I have any' are all gone, and I'm in a very strange place right now.
I looked him in the eyes; he had a sympathetic look on his face. I gave a shy smile, hoping to ease the awkwardness. He let a small smile onto his lips; I guessed that he doesn't smile that often.
He got up off of the floor, and offered me his right hand. I clutched onto it, getting tugged up.
We started walking the way he was walking before.
"So… where am I? And where are we going" I questioned him, just as before.
"I will take you to our master, he will explain everything, and we are going to find Malik." His voice echoed through the hallway.
I think that was his intention, for when we had turned the corner, I saw someone who wore the exact same clothing as Altair.
I had made up my mind; this place was a brotherhood, but what kind of brotherhood?
The said person looked straight at us, and squeaked a very strange word.
"Meep!" Malik ran the other way, as Altair sped right at him.
"Nooo! I didn't do anything! I swear!" Malik screamed as they ran outside and into a small garden.
'Wow! There are gardens on the inside of this building? Wow!' I followed trying to keep up; they were fast!
I finally made it over to them.
I watched as Altair tackled Malik, sending them both crashing into the ground.
"Ahhh!" Malik screeched. Altair chuckled as he pinned Malik to the ground.
"You won't win that easily!" Malik tried to throw Altair off of him, but failed.
Both were rolling on the ground, dirt clouding up around them. Altair grunted as Malik kneed him in the stomach, attempting to get him off.
"Ha!" Malik yelled in joy as he stood up and bolted. But Altair was too quick for him; he had latched his right hand onto Malik's right leg, tripping him.
"Mrrphf!!" Malik spluttered as he fell to the ground, eating dirt.
I started giggling as they continued to wrestle around on the ground. Malik managed to pin Altair, how, I wouldn't know.
Malik stuck his tongue out at him, as Altair went cross-eyed, they had the funniest looks on their faces! I just couldn't contain myself anymore.
I exploded into an uncontrollable laughter,
"Bwaha-hahahahaaaaaa!!" My eyes started to tear up as I laughed. I held my gut with both arms, as I fell to the ground, this was hilarious!
Malik and Altair both looked at me, blinking innocently.
"I think we have an audience." Altair chuckled, as Malik got off of him, standing up straight. I stopped laughing as they both stood watching me curiously.
"S-sorry" I stuttered timidly as I wiped my eyes with my sleeve.
I finally noticed that I was still wearing the exact same dress that I had been wearing last night. Standing up, I realized how tall they were.
"How old are you?" I blurted out, and covered my mouth with my hand.
'Am I being rude?' Malik smiled at me, his smile was very heart warming.
"I am fourteen, and my name is Malik, if you are wondering." Malik offered his hand for me to shake.
I shook his hand, smiling back at him.
"It's nice to meet you Malik, I am Serenity." I realized that I had finally offered my name; Altair looked at me surprised.
"And this old man to me left is Altair, the 'oh so tough and unbreakable' fourteen year old assassin friend of mine," Malik laughed while explaining so.
"What a nice, but unusual name for these parts… Serenity." Altair rolled the name off of his tongue, testing it out for the first time.
Pulling on my dress, I shivered. I felt slightly exposed, I mean… I was in a short ripped up dress, while they were fully clothed.
My embarrassment showed on my face; I felt my cheeks burn with the same reaction from when I tackled Altair to the ground.
"How old are you?" Altair asked, obviously interested in knowing.
"I am thirteen, another month or so and I should be fourteen." I admitted; I was actually going to trust them.
"Well Altair, I'm sorry to say this but, all the guys already know." Malik looked very nervous while saying this.
"Awww! You didn't!" Altair groaned, slapping his left hand over his face, obviously annoyed.
"I… I didn't mean to; I mean, c'mon! I couldn't resist! You broke down for a girl Altair! A girl! You probably would never do that for anyone else!" Malik yelled in anger.
Altair looked taken aback.
"I did break down for a girl Malik, but this said girl; who is standing right here if you haven't noticed, has a lot of shock to deal with right now. If I hadn't of been there, she would have been very afraid, and vomited over the floor." Altair said this with no emotion showing on his face.
Malik eased,
"Well, I guess you are right. I probably would have done the same. So, Altair; what is to be planned for this girl?" Malik asked.
"'This girl' happens to have a name," Altair shot back.
'Are they going to fight? Oh no, this is my entire fault! They seem to be very close friends, and I've ruined it!' I thought to myself, panicked.
"Alright, alright! What is planned for Serenity?" He asked again. Altair closed his eyes in though, rubbing his chin with his right hand. Opening his eyes, he made eye contact with me.
I felt my face heat up as my heartbeat skyrocketed.
"We will take her Al Mualim, he will decide what to do with her."

I WILL change Serenity's attitude soon enough! She WILL have a different outlook on life! BELIVE ME!
