Hey long time no see, but I'll explain that later! :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Assassin's Creed, Ubisoft does...maybe one day I will...
As soon as Aria, Abby, and Aiden reached the soccer field they began their laps around it. They had to play catch up as their teammates were on their last lap. Once done they did their suicides, stretched their legs, and did passing exercises. It was all pretty basic, but with their team it was a good time. A whistle seized their talking and they all gathered around their coach, .
"Okay, today we're gonna have a practice game to prepare for Wednesday's game. Taylor, Aria, Abby, Nick, Megan, and Elie," listed off, "You guys go put on jerseys. The other team kicks off first." And with that the group split into two teams, one with their regular team color and the other with green jerseys over them. Abby got into her position as a Fullback and Aria went to her usual spot as a Forward. Aria wasn't one for scoring goals, but defiantly could get the ball from the other team.
'I wonder how Nina is doing.' Aria thought momentarily. The whistle sounded the start of the practice game and her thought left her immediately.
"Oh my God, where is Altaïr?" Nina yelled. Sense the moment her sister and cousin left for practice everything that could go wrong did. And it seemed the worst was happening now. Patrick was trying to keep Leonardo from dissecting the television. Mikie was making sure that Malik and Ezio didn't go upstairs and Karley had to leave for work. Nina was picking up glass from when Ezio was playing with a lamp and it fell over when she noticed Altaïr was nowhere to be found.
"Ah, crap! I thought you were watching him Mikie!" Patrick said.
"Yeah, I was a little busy making sure these two wouldn't somehow end up on the roof." Mikie retorted.
Nina pushed the two assassins and Mikie out of the way, running upstairs. She stopped at the top to try and hear for him. But with Altaïr being an assassin, there was none. Nina growled and ran around the house looking for him. She looked everywhere including the cupboards. The sound of barking from outside got Nina's attention. She went to the sliding glass door and found Altaïr hiding at the top of a tree with her dogs at the bottom growling at him.
"Riley, Romeo, come here! Come on!" Nina sweetly called to them. At the sound of her voice, they both stopped growling and walked over to her, their tails wagging. Nina looked up to see that Altaïr was still in the tree. "Altaïr, it's safe to come down. They won't hurt you, just let them sniff you."
Even though Nina couldn't see his face, she could tell how hesitant he was from coming down. He stared at the dogs, deciding if he was better off in the tree. Altaïr took one step down and looked at the dogs, seeing if they would come after him. When they didn't he continued down slowly. Once down, Nina had the dogs go over to him. Riley and Romeo were hesitant to go near him, but eventually did. Once they felt he was approved they wagged their tails and went inside. Nina shook her head and sighed.
"And where do you think you were going?" Nina asked accusingly.
"I couldn't stay in there for so long. It drives me crazy." He mumbled.
"Well, next time ask or I'll make sure you don't ever go out." Altaïr simply nodded and walked back in. Nina joined him and they walked down stairs. There they found Mikie on Leo's back, trying grab a stapler from him, Patrick picking up glass from the frame of a picture that fell over, and Malik and Ezio were about to break another one.
'They'll be the death of me.' Nina thought. An idea popped into her head and she let a devious smirk come to her face.
"Hey, guys, let's go on a little trip."
"Elie!" Aria called. The black haired boy quickly turned and captured the ball that Aria had sent his way. He quickly side stepped his opponent and raced up to the goal while Aria kept another kid from getting to him. He brought back his leg and struck the ball, sending it flying into the goal. Aria grinned and ran up to give Elie a high-five.
"Great kick, Elie! And Aria, great hustling and keep putting pressure on the opposite player!" Coach Weiz yelled from the side line.
The opposing teams got back into starting positions. Aria was starting to get focused when she felt a hand smack her back. She jumped, startled, and turned to see it was Abby. She looked annoyed, looking over to the side lines where Coach Weiz was. Aria, confused by her reaction, looked over to see her cousin and the little group they thought they left at the house there, causing Aria to groan.
"Man, we can't even get an hour!" Aria yelled, frustrated. Their teammates looked over at them with confusion, but returned to their positions when the coach yelled for everyone to get ready.
Abby and Aria get into their positions. The whistled blew and everyone got going. The ball flew in the air as someone kicked it. Megan, a tall girl on her team, head-butted it as it came down near Aria. She quickly lunged for it and started to take it up the middle. Her opponents were grouping up on her, so she made a pass to her nearby partner. They circled backwards and made a shot in the corner pocket, but Aiden, positioned as goalie, caught it.
He threw it back in and his team took it up. The ball was out of the Forwards area, leaving it to the Fullbackers. Abby got prepared for the oncoming players. The ball was coming in her direction and she took possession of it. From then on it was a game of back-and-forth. Eventually, practice was about to end, so Coach Weiz called everybody in. They all gathered around, drinking heavily from their water cans.
"Great practice today everyone! I definitely saw some amazing effort today. We're ready for the game on Wednesday. Everybody go home, get some rest, and come back Wednesday with this attitude!" He dismissed everybody, the team all go off in different directions for their rides.
Aria, Abby, and Aiden gathered up their bags and walked over to the group waiting for them. Leonardo was smiling despite the glares that Abby was throwing at them. Before Aria could get a word out Leonardo spoke.
"That is amazing, quit an interesting game. It looks so very fun, can you teach me to play?" He rushed out, Aria barely understanding what he was saying. She couldn't help but chuckle.
"Yeah, sure, I wouldn't mind." Aria said.
"What are you guys doing here?" Aiden asked, though he seemed uninterested.
"Well, you see…" Nina began and trailed off.
"We were having trouble with them back at the house. They kept breaking stuff and wandering off. We thought bringing them here would get them out of our hair, sense they would be distracted! Oh, and Altaïr almost got attacked by the dogs!" Mikie easily explained. Nina face palmed.
"You three really are useless." Abby said, sighing.
"What happened to Karley?" Aria asked.
"She had to go to work." Patrick said.
"Whatever, let's get back!" Abby nearly yelled.
"Jeez calm down." Aiden mumbled. Abby was about to make a snarky comment when a squeal interrupted her.
"Oh my God! Is that who I think it is!" Taylor, a short auburn haired girl, yelled. Aria groaned. Taylor and Aria weren't on exactly good terms and having her coming in their direction put her in a pissy mood. Not to mention that her and the whole team played Assassin's Creed. No, they just couldn't have been so lucky.
"Quickly, let's get out of here before it comes any closer!" Aria harshly whispered. The assassins furrowed their brows at Aria's sudden hostility, but had to comply when she began to drag them.
"Oh, it won't hurt anybody if she meets them." Nina said. Little did she know was that Taylor's squeal had caught the attention of the other teammates. The other kids began crying exclamations of surprise and coming towards their group.
"Uh, yeah right. Let's get out of here!" Abby said. The group ran in the direction of the parking lot. Aria looked behind them to see the entire soccer team chasing them, along with some of their siblings. She let out a cry and ran faster, passing by the others. They got the gist and ran faster. On the parking lot they found Abby's and Nina's mother waiting in her truck.
"Start the truck, mom! Start the truck!" Nina yelled. Her mother, startled, turned on the ignition. The group piled into the car, having to sit on each other. Aria looked under her to see who she was sitting on and found she was on Patrick's lap.
"Don't get any ideas." She warned.
"You should lose a few pounds." Patrick retorted, earning him a punch in the chest. Aria huffed and turned away from him.
"This hurts." Malik said from the back under both Nina and Desmond. Aria looked back to see Mikie sitting on Leonardo who was sitting on Ezio. On the floor were Aiden and Altaïr, both grumbling to themselves. In the front seats Abby was sitting in the middle and Aria and Patrick next to her. Overall, it was not a good situation. Not only that, but they hit heavy traffic. Everyone groaned each time they almost made a red light.
"Wow, how do those work?" Leonardo asked. Aria shook her head, not knowing how to explain it.
"Um, well…to be honest I'm not that sure." Aria said truthfully.
"Well, I think that each one is timed to change it colors." Patrick thoughtfully put in.
"Who cares! Let's just get home!" Nina said. Unfortunately luck was not on their side and they seemed to get every red light. After a long ride and many groans they finally reached their house, quickly piling out. Patrick, Aiden, and Mikie said their good-byes and left. Aria and her group went inside sluggishly.
"Finally! Home, sweet home!" Abby yelled and fell to her knees, landing in a dramatic pose.
"Oh, get up." Altaïr said.
"Oooh, Altaïr has claws!" Nina said. Aria ignored the others and went down stairs. As she was slipping off her cleats she heard a bang and a screech come from upstairs. She ran upstairs and stopped at the hallway going into the kitchen.
"What happened?" She yelled when she found Ezio knocked out cold on the floor. Aria looked up to see a figure slowly coming out of the kitchen. Aria was about to defend herself against the figure, but stopped when she realized who it was. Out came Lucy, holding a frying pan, still in an offensive position. Aria gaped at the sight and heard the others coming up behind her.
"Lucy!" Desmond yelled, with a grin on his face, "You really shouldn't hurt my ancestors, you know."Aria put her head into her hands. She felt as if her head was about to implode.
'Maybe it just might if more keep coming.' Aria thought.
I'm back! :D Wow you guys must hear that so often. But yes, I am posting again(while sick) and continuing my story. Thanks to all the readers,reviewers, and subscribers (:
What kept me away for so long? School. Isn't that always the answer? Alas, I was working on my school work, cause my teachers were being meanies and decided now was when they were gonna pull out the hard stuff. Not only that but also I was in our musical which was 42nd Street(got standing ovations all 3 nights!)
During the opening night and following ones I was sick and got a sinus infection. I would have posted this earlier, but my medicine made me so trippy I could hardly stand! I am still sick, though slowly getting better and I have a softball game tomorrow. Isn't my life just eventful (:
P.S. I'm watching Slumdog Millionaire, the best movie ever made 3
