Chapter 2
I do not own anything in this story. All credit goes to ubisoft. I am just a fan girl making a story about the life I wish I had.
"It's been almost an hour. Please can we go?" I was starting to get impatient. First they kidnap us, take us to a hotel, and now they force us in a room and just stand there staring at us.
It seemed I would get no reply. Sam was sitting on the couch dozing, and Nina was pacing the room with the occasional glare sent towards the men. I had decided to sit at the table near the kitchen area. The room itself was bare. There was the one couch, one bed, and a lousy kitchen with run down, and probably broken, appliances. There was a ratty looking table with 4 chairs, one on each side.
Finally, when I thought I would fall asleep in the chair, the old man came through the door. He motioned for the men to wait out side. He then walked over to the table and sat down across from me. Sam moved to sit at the table, dragging a chair beside mine, and when he motioned for Nina to sit, she just glared at him. He shrugged and decided to ignore her.
"Did your parents ever talk about something called The Apple of Eden?"
We all looked at each other and shook our heads. This was something I knew I have never heard about. I never really thought my Mom would be into something like this. Let alone be doing something with my Dad. I knew they never got along after their divorce, so it was some kind of shock for them to tell me that they were going on a trip together. I really thought the world had ended.
"Your parents were part of a secret organization called the Assassins. Our job is to keep the Templars from getting the Apple. They want to control people, and make them think all the same. They want to force peace within the world. We believe that all humans should have their own say in how they live their lives, which is what your parents believed in. It was on my orders that they went on the trip, so now it is my duty to take care of you three," he seemed tired and older then what he looked like.
"Can't we just continue what we were doing? I mean, like going to school and working part time? We were planning a trip to go to Scotland, and that's what we were going to do next month. We don't want to make you do anything you don't want to do," Sam offered. Next month was supposed to be the big trip we had been saving up for.
"You cannot go to Scotland, I am sorry. The Templars have a headquarters there and if they ever find out your there, you would be captured and then you would disappear form the face of the earth," he got up and walked to the kitchen. He looked out the window and sighed. He did seem like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders.
"What about Italy? I think going there would be cool. We could finish what our parents sent out to do and help you guys fine that orange," it came out of my mouth before I could even stop my self.
Next thing I knew the old man was laughing and Nina was shaking her head.
"It was Apple, stupid. I can't believe you said that," Nina said.
After the old man calmed down, he smiled. "You could go to Italy, but you wouldn't have to do the mission. It's too much to ask of three girls who just lost their parents. It just so happens that we can get you guys your flights out there and back. You would have to pay your own hotel fees though. And your food would have to be bought by yourselves as well."
"That would probably save us a lot of money, and I mean who can pass up a free ticket. Where about would we go in Italy?" Sam pointed out..
"Monteriggioni," Nina blurted out.
We all looked at Nina, I was wondering were that came from when the old man started to smile.
"We can get you there in one week if that's ok," he said. As he started to walk out of the room, I heard him mutter under his breath "Maybe these are the three that can help us finally win. Their parents did say they had a knack for this group."
Once he closed the door behind him, we heard the lock slide into place. Once again we were being help captive with locked doors. It was almost night by then and I could feel my stomach start to turn from hunger.
"Some weird cult called Assassins, huh. Maybe we can get them to tattoo mental health on our foreheads as well," I said, trying to break the tension.
All I got was a tiny chuckle some Sam and a smile from Nina. It seemed it would be a long night. I told Sam to take the bed and Nina the couch. I would stay awake with the promise to wake them up if anything happened. Just as we were settling in, someone knocked on the door. A lady came in, not waiting for a reply, and placed a tray with three bowls of soup on the table. We walked over and looked at them. Right away I knew I wasn't going to be eating any, because floating on top of each soup was big, fat, disgusting onions. Nina looked at me and took her bowl and sat down, Sam doing the same. I just stared at my bowl, trying to hold back my anger. I decided to take the bowl and throw it out the window. I walked over and opened the window. Seeing 4 men grouped at the ground, I realized my best option. Yelling HEADS UP, I threw it out the window. I could hear yelling and swearing, smiling, I shut the window. I turned around and saw Nina and Sam laughing their heads off.
I started to laugh until I heard people running down the hallway. I quickly bolted to the bathroom and locked the door. I heard people come in and then silence, then as I was about to unlock the door, there was a knock.
"Come out from there and we wont hurt you…much," came a male voice.
"Yeah like that's going to make me want to come out, nice try though. Sorry about the soup but I did yell heads up so it wasn't like I didn't give you a warning. It's your fault anyways, you put the onions in. I mean, it's not like you died or anything," I was starting to panic. In one moment of stupidity, I had probably pissed off 4 huge guys who could hand me my ass in a fight.
I could feel the door slowly move as some guy put his weight against it. I managed to move to the side of the door so that if it opened I wouldn't get hit. I unlocked the door and the man who was leaning against the door fell in. I quickly ran out into the hallway but was grabbed before I could go anywhere. Sam and Nina were in the kitchen just watching. They seemed to be enjoying this more then I was.
"So you don't like onions, eh? Well then, that gives us the proper punishment for you then," the man on my left said. As he forced me to sit on the couch a girl in a apron came running in holding an onion. I knew what was coming so I tried to force my escape. I could see her coming closer. She started to peel it and broke off a piece. She handed it to the guy holding me and then plugged my nose. I tried to hold my breath but I knew I couldn't forever. Finally when I gasped for breath the man shoved the onion in my mouth. I gagged and tried to spit it out but he covered my mouth. Nina, finally saving me, made the comment I was allergic to onions and he let me spit it out, but I still had the taste of onions in my mouth. I ran to the bathroom and tried to wash my mouth out.
Once I was done I walked out to see that everyone had left. Nina told me they would send up something else for me to eat. I told her to just throw it out now cause I wasn't very hungry. I jumped on the bed next to Sam, and not caring that I promised to stay up, passed out.
The next thing I knew, I was floating in a white space. I tried to move around but the only thing I managed to do was flip upside down. I started to call out for someone to help me, but I got no reply. Feeling the oncoming headache from the blood rushing to my head, I got pissed and started to flail around again. Finally I saw something in the distance. It was coming towards me. It seemed kind of like a video. There were three men in white robes in a cave. They seemed to be arguing. Finally, one of them ran off and climbed up to another room. At the other end, there was a group of men in red amour. The robed man ran over and something came out of his sleeve. He tried to shove whatever it was into one of the guards, who looked like he was in charge. The guard saw him coming and grabbed his wrist before he could stab him. As the robed man was getting over powered, the other two robed men came and tried to help him. They fought the other guards, but the first robed man was shoved into a corridor and the wall collapsed around him. The older looking robed guy was bleeding badly from his left arm, and the younger one was badly wounded. I could see on of the guards come up from behind the younger one and just as he was about to cut him I yelled for him to watch out, and our eyes meet and he got a confused look on his face and then a bright white light flashed. I started to scream and then the next thing I knew was that I had fallen out of the bed.
I looked up over the edge to see if I might have woken up Sam or Nina. Sam was dead to the world, while drooling on the pillow. Nina was sprawled out on the couch snoring a bit. I walked over to the window and pulled the blinds. The sun was just starting to rise. So it must have been about 6:30 in the morning. I could see that there were still guys on the ground, different from the ones from last night. I called down to them, to see if maybe we could get some new clothes to wear but they just ignored me. I shut the window then tried to open the door. It was locked but I could hear people from the out side. I gave up and went into the bathroom. I rinsed my mouth with water and started the shower. After the shower I changed back into my old clothes and moved into the kitchen to see what I could find.
I saw that Nina didn't throw out the soup so I grabbed that and put it in the microwave. I just stood in the kitchen and thought about what happened yesterday. Remembering about our parents, I started to cry. I felt someone come from behind me and start to hug me. I turned and saw that Nina was up and that she was crying too. We stood in the kitchen crying, I could hear the microwave ding, but didn't want to move to turn it off. Finally when I thought I could stop crying, I moved from Nina and started to reheat my soup. Nina moved to the bathroom and I could hear her starting the shower. I placed my soup at the table and started to eat it.
By the time the sun rose, there was another knock on the door. Nina got up from the couch to answer it. It was the taxi driver from yesterday, and he seemed to be in a rush.
"I have orders to take you to the airport now. Here, I brought some clothes and a letter for you. Please hurry, we don't have much time."
Nina grabbed the clothes and sorted them out. They were simple jeans and white t-shirts. Nina grabbed a pair and turned to go to that bathroom. I went to go wake up Sam. It took a little while to get her to wake up all the way but eventually we were all dressed and in the back of a car. As Ralph, he introduced us as we left the room, started the car, he handed Sam an envelope, saying how it would explain everything and to read it on the plane. He drove us straight to the airport, going about 20 miles over the speed limit the whole way. He talked to one of the flight attendants and then they both pretty much just shoved us on the plane. The flight attendant took us to the very corner of the plane and sat us in the back.
When the plane took off, Sam brought out the envelope and opened it.
Dear girls,
Probably by the time you read this I will have been killed. I am sorry I could do no more for you then this. I had wanted to get you to Italy as soon as possible to some safe houses. I know it must be very confusing for you at this moment but I know you will figure it all out soon. It is destiny that you three are together. I must tell you why you are so important and why you need to stick together. Sam, you are the descendant of Leonardo Da Vinci. You have a great talent for art and an open mind. Nina, you are a descendant of Kadar Al-Sayf. We still have no idea how that came to be, but records show he did have one child. Sarah, you are the most important one in the roles you have to play, for you are the descendant of Altair Lbn-La'Ahad. You must all go to Italy and fine the Apple it will help us win this war.
Safety and peace my children.
Abdullah, Master Assassin.
