Monday November 7th 1977 8:57 A.M. Waking up to the smell of bacon, I got up and looked at the clock. My stomach started to grumble as I remembered I didn't eat anything last night. I got up and put my blades on and walked out to the lobby to see Altiar reading some papers.
"Morning Altiar." I said looking around. "Hey Samuel. You ready for your next lesson?" Altiar said putting the papers away. "Actually, I didn't eat anything last night before I went to bed. I was gonna eat something first."
"Of course Samuel. The kitchen is down the hall, the 3rd door on the left." Altiar said pointing to the hall. "Thanks." I said as I started to walk to the kitchen. I walked in and saw a table of food. I grabbed a plate and filled it up. I walked over to an open table and sat down. I started to eat wondering what kind of training I would be doing today. Just then, Altiar came in.
"Enjoying yourself?" Altiar said looking down at me. I nodded as my mouth was full of food. Altiar let out a small laugh. "Anyway. I wanted to ask you something." I swallowed my food and looked up at him. "Shoot." I said taking another bite. "May I see your blades?" Altiar said. "Sure." I said putting the food down. I took my blades off and handed them to Altiar. Altiar took them and started to look them over. "Incredible." Altiar said. "I never would have though such blades exited. Ezio must have made improvements to his over the years." Altiar said taking the blades out. "However, the blades are a really worn down. Samuel, may I take these to our blacksmith? He can work on these and make them good as new."
"Whatever you think is best." I said taking a drink of water. "Thank you Samuel. Meet me outside when you're done." Altiar said bowing before leaving to go to the blacksmith.
After a few minutes, I finished my plate and got up and headed outside. Altiar walked over to me as I looked around for him. "Hey Samuel. Are you ready for your next lesson?" Altiar said. "Ready when you are." I said nodding. "Good. Follow me, I have some news I think you would like to hear." Altiar said walking down the stairs. I followed behind him as he started to talk.
"I received word from inside Chicago at beryl is going to revive her husband tonight."
"What!?" I said stopping. "We have to go and stop her!" Altiar turned to me. "Sadly, there's nothing we can do at this point. Our men are thinned out as it is. And you and your friends are not ready yet." Altiar said as he turned back and started to walk again. "All is not lost though. When the king is revived, he will be very week. Beryl is going to have to feed him energy for a while before he returns back to full power. And that is when we will strike." Altiar said coming to a door.
The door was guarded by two men. The men bowed before letting us walk inside. Inside was a staircase leading down a several feet. We followed it till we came to a huge room filled with recites from eras past. And in the center of the room was a glass case with a fancy robe behind it.
"What is this place?" I said looking around. "This is the Sanctuary. It was built By my Great grand-father over one hundred years ago. It was built to honor the memory of the Greatest assassins who ever lived." Altiar said walking around. "Look around, These are the assassins who guarded the freedom of humanity when it was most threatened." I looked at the statues. There was seven lining the wall. "This place holds all of the world greatest treasures and secrets." Altiar said walking over to a glass case. "This is the first time anyone but a few have been down here."
"Why are we here?" I said looking at him. Altiar walked to the center case and stood there. I walked over to and looked at it. "This robe was Ezio's." Altiar said looking at it. "Really?" I said. It was something else. "Most robes are all white, but Ezio made it to where if you made it to the rank of grand master assassin, you could wear a robe of black and red." I could feel the history flowing from it. "If only this robe could talk." Altiar said putting his hand on the glass. "The story's it could tell." Altiar said turning to me.
"The time has come for you to prove you are worthy to wear his robes Samuel." Altiar said walking a few feet away. "How do I go about doing that?" I said. Altiar pulled out a key that was around his neck. "This key opens the glass case. And all you have to do…is take it from me." Altiar said drawing his sword. I looked at him and the glass case. "Fine, let's just see how strong you really are." I said taking a sword from the pile next to me.
I looked over the sword before making a fighting pose. Altiar rushed me with such speed. I almost didn't see him till it was too late. I blocked his blade as a loud clash ranged throughout the room. I knew this was going to be the hardest fight I ever had. I took a deep breath as my eyes started to dilate…
Monday November 7th 1977. 2:22 P.M. Beryl walked down the stairs to the basement. She opened the door and saw Hotaru standing in the corner with a metal headband around her head. Beryl walked over to her. "Hotaru?" Beryl said. "Yes Master?" Hotaru said looking up at her with her dead eyes. "What is your purpose?" Hotaru gave a small smile. "To kill anyone to stands in the way of your leadership." Beryl smiled. "Good, I have your first mission, to see what you can do."
"Whatever you wish, I shall do." Hotaru said with no life in her voice. "There's three men I want you to take care of. This is where you can find them." Beryl said handing her a paper. Hotaru read the paper. She then stood up as a dark purple aura filled the room before a flashing dark light shown from her chest. After a few seconds. The light faded away to reveal Hotaru standing wearing a purple sailor uniform. She started to walk to the stairs as another flash shown from her right hand as a scythe appear out of nowhere. Beryl followed Hotaru up the stairs as she stopped at the window. Hotaru jumped out the window and landed on the ground, making a small crater. Beryl started to laugh as Hotaru dashed away heading to where takaia and his brothers where staying at…
Monday November 7th 1977. 3:11 P.M. Altiar pushed me away as I flew into a wall. I fell to one knee, gasping for air. Altar was gasping as he struggled to keep his sword up. We have been fighting for hours. And I was not making any progress. "Think Samuel." I said to myself standing up. "I don't get it. Every time I see a small opening, he counters it." I looked over Altiar, looking for anything that could help me.
"I have to believe in myself, believe in my powers. "Everyone…Mina, Lita, Ray…please…help me." I started to think to myself as Altiar watched me. I started to think of what will happened if Beryl gets her way. All of them…gone, and it will be because of me! Blood started to drip down my nose as Altiar started to smile. "Now the real fight begins…" Altiar said popping his hidden blade out. "I will win!" I yelled as I rushed Altiar.
I slammed my sword down onto his sword, cracking it a little as I send him flying back a few feet. "Haaa!" I yelled as I rushed Altiar as I started to hack and slash at him. My speed was now higher than his. But I knew I only had a short amount of time before I would lose it. I gave it everything I got. Every opening I wet for, Altiar would block it with his blade. I combined kicks with my sword attacks as I started to wear Altiar down. I had to go for broke. Altiar was almost out of stamina.
As he blocks my sword with his blade, I grabbed his hand with his blade. I jumped up and kicked him in his chin, I twisted around and spin kicked him in his face. I go for a downward strike with all my might, Altiar blocked it with his word, his sword brakes into four pieces. Altiar looks at his sword as I thrust at his neck. Altiar gets big eyed as I stop the blade one inch from his neck. I stood there gasping for air as I looked him in his eyes before leaning the sword down and cutting the rope holding the key. The key fell to the floor as we both stood there looking at each other. "Checkmate." I said backing off.
Altiar smiled. "It would seem so Samuel." Altiar said falling to his knees catching his breath. I leaned down and picked up the key. gasping for air. "I haven't had a fight like that in years." Altiar said standing up. "Likewise." I said looking up at him. "You truly are something else Samuel. You have earned Ezio's robe." Altiar said bowing. "Your training is complete. Tonight, we will induct you into the brotherhood, and you will finally be an assassin." Altiar said looking at the glass case. "Go ahead and take it and head back to your room and get ready. Pack your things, your training is complete." Altiar said leaving up the stairs, still gasping for air.
I looked at the glass case for a minute, trying to catch my breath before opening it up. What I felt when I picked it up, it was nothing like I ever felt before. I carried the robe back to my room and started getting everything ready for tonight…
Monday November 7th 1977. 4:04 P.M. "Hurry up you two, Altiar said he wants us back by tonight." Seiya said looking back at his brothers. Seiya and his brothers where finishing packing up when they heard a loud crash coming upstairs. "What was that?" Seiya said looking at his brothers. "I'll check it out." Yaten said as he started to walk up the stairs as his brothers watched. Just as he was about to open the door to the room,
*shhhh!* Yaten looked down to see a blade coming from the other side of the door. Saturn pulled it out as Yaten fell to the floor not moving. "Yaten!" Seiya yelled as him and Taiki run up the stairs to him. Seiya picked up his brother and started to run back down the stairs as Taiki ran into the room to see where Saturn was. "Show yourself!" he yelled looking around.
Faint footsteps could be heard coming from the other side of the room. Taiki looked and saw sailor Saturn walking to him. "Who are you!?" He yelled. Saturn stopped and looked at him with her deer in the headlights look. "…Your demise." Saturn said lifting her scythe at him. Saturn rushes Taiki as he quickly doges it. Taiki throws a smoke bomb onto the ground and rushes out and down the stairs to his brothers.
Saturn swings her scythe and blows the smoke away. She rushes out of the room and down the stairs to finish what beryl told her to do.
Seiya got to the rail cart still carrying his brother. He sat him down on the seat and looked him over. "Stay with me!" He yelled putting his hand on his wound. "N-no…im not gonna make it…" He said quietly. "Don't say that!" Seiya yelled standing up. He went over and started the cart as it started to move down the tunnel. Just then, Taiki jumps on board and closes the door.
"She's right behind me!" he yelled as he looked around and saw Saturn standing on the rails. Seiya ran back and looked. "What is she doing!?" He said as Saturn lifted up her scythe. "Die…" she said as she swung her scythe down. A purple beam shot out form the tip as it shoots through the ceiling, causing a cave-in to happen.
"Where not going to make it!" Taiki yells as the cave-in got closer. Seiya got his brothers and hid under the rail seat as the cave in-hit. After a few seconds, Saturn started to walk over. She gets to the pile and stands there for a few seconds before turning back and dashing off to beryl.
After a few minutes, a hand shoots out of the pile. Seiya slowly craws out of the pile of rocks as both of his legs where broken, covered in blood. Seiya crawled his way to the end of tunnel and looked to his left. He saw the messenger pigeons in the cage. He slowly crawled over and opened it up. he wrote something down with the last of his strength and put it on one of the pigeons as it flew off back to the city. "Im sorry…a-altiar." Seiya said as he slowly closes his eyes and passes away, hoping the others would be warned about the girl in the sailor uniform…
Monday November 7th 1977. 5:11 P.M. Beryl was overlooking the city when Hotaru walked in with blood on her scythe. Beryl turned around and smiled. "It is done master." Hotaru said with a dead look in her eyes. "Ha ha ha haaa!" Beryl started to laugh. "This is wonderful! No one can stop me! Soon this world will belong to us once again!" Beryl turned and walked over to the window. "Come Hotaru, tonight, the king comes back!" Beryl said holding her scepter.
Beryl walked out of the office with Hotaru following close behind. She walked outside to her guards. "Have your men bring the coffin to the rooftop." The guards nodded before running off. "Just a little longer my love." Beryl said smiling…
*Back with Samuel* After taking a shower and eating something. I heard a knock at my door as A assassin walked into my room. "Hello Samuel, Altiar wanted me to tell you to meet him outside the city tonight, at the edge of the forest."
"Ok, I'll be there soon." I said packing the last of my things. The Assassin left as I laid Ezio's robe out on my bed. I took my shirt and pants off before starting to but Ezio's robe on. First the pants. Then the shirt. As I'm putting them on, I could feel something coming over me, but I wasn't sure what. Next, I put on the boots. Then the robe, then the gloves. I tossed my cape around my left shoulder before looking myself over in the mirror. It was almost a perfect fit. I seemed different, I watched myself as I put my hood on over my head. And in that moment, all the worry and fear about not being able to protect my friends disappeared. I felt like I could do it. I felt like I could stop her. I felt like I can save all of them.
I took a sigh before grabbing my bag and leaving the room. I walked out into the lobby as everyone stopped what they were doing as they watched me walk out of the shack. I walked down the road to the cave as I started to make my way back outside. I remembered that I haven't seen the outside in a few days.
I got to the entrance and walked out. I looked up at the night sky as I smiled. I took a deep breath as I looked around. I saw a faint light coming from within the forest. I started to follow it for a while before coming to an open area. There, I saw Altiar and several other assassin's.
"Welcome Samuel." Altiar said walking up to me. He looked me over and was speechless. "I knew that you would prove to everyone you really where the great grandson of Ezio, and now, theirs just more thing left for you to do." Altiar said walking over to the fire. "Step forward Samuel." Altiar said turning to face me. I walked over to him and stood by him.
"Samuel Ownby. We have three rules of the brotherhood. These are the foundation of our creed, and must be followed at all times."
"One: never turn your blade on the flesh of an innocent. Two: remain in the shadows so one does not draw attention to one's self. And Three: never compromise the brotherhood." Altiar said looking at me. "Do you swear to uphold the order of the brotherhood and keep this world safe?" I looked at Altiar with a stern look. "I swear, I will uphold the order of the brotherhood. And protect those who cannot protect themselves." I said putting my hand over my heart.
Altiar looked at me for a few seconds before turning to the fire and pulling out a metal clamp and was glowing red. "In the time of Ezio, one would sacrifice there ring finger in order to prove that they will always be faithful to the brotherhood. But times have changed, now we just brand your finger with our symbol." Altiar said holding up the clamp. "Hold out your right hand."
I lifted up my right hand as Altiar clamped down on my finger. I grinned my teeth for a few seconds as the pain rushed through my body before Altiar pulled away. "Let this mark be proof of your loyalty to your brothers." Altiar said putting the clamp in a bucket of water. Altiar looked at me and snapped his fingers. One of the assassins walked forward and handed him two blades. "What's an assassin without his blades?" Altiar said walking over to me. He handed me my blades. I looked over them. The blades where Sharpe. They were like new.
I put the blades on as I popped them out to feel for them. They made a satisfying ching sound as the moonlight shown off of them. "Remember these words Samuel." Altiar said as I retracted the blades back.
"We walk in the darkness, to protect the light. Nothing is true, everything is permitted." I thought to myself as Altiar walked over to me. "Before you leave, I have just one last question for you Samuel." Altiar said looking at me. "What is the Truth?" I looked up at the moon and thought to myself for a seconds.
"…We place faith in ourselves, we see the world the way it really is. And hope that one day, all mankind might see it the same."
"What is the world?" Altiar said.
"An allusion, one we can either submit to, as most do. Or transcend."
"What is it to transcend?"
"To recognize that… that nothing is true, and everything is permitted. That laws arise not from divinity, but reason." Altiar looked at me and smiled. "Spoken…like a true assassin." Altiar said placing his hands on my shoulders. "From this day forward, you carry the assassin name of Ezio Auditore." Altiar said smiling. "It is done." He said bowing to me. "Welcome…to the assassins creed Ezio." I smiled and gave a bow. "Now beryl won't stand a chance." Altiar said turning around. I have a gift for you Ezio." Altiar said handing me a box. "What is it?" I said looking it over. "Just a few weapons for you to use. All of these where made with the finest materials." I looked inside and saw a sword, throwing daggers, smokes bombs and a few other things. "Thank you." I said picking it up.
"One of our brothers will drive you back to the castle. We will keep in touch. I'm not sure when, but very soon we will have to take back the city. And when that time comes. You and the sailor scouts will need to be ready." Altiar said looking at me. I nodded. "Thank you for everything." Altiar said shaking my hand. "Safety and peace be upon you brother." Altiar said. "To you as well." I said smiling.
I picked up my box and bag and put them in the back of the jeep and hopped in. One of the brothers hopped in and started to dive me back to the castle. Altiar watched as the jeep disappeared in the blackness of the forest. "Good luck brother…" Altiar said…
Monday November 7th 1977 8:01 P.M. The faint sounds of lightning could be heard as beryl stood in front of a coffin. Hotaru stood next to her still in her sailor uniform. A few guards stood by and watched beryl walked up to the coffin. She placed her had on it. "My love…we lost this world before, and now we have a chance to take it back." Beryl said lifting her scepter up. "Hotaru! Now!" Beryl yelled as Hotaru lifted up her scythe.
A dark aura started to flow from beryl and Hotaru as lightning started to strike around them. The wind started to pick up as light started to shine from the box.
*Back with Samuel.* the wind was picking up as we drove down the highway. I looked over the hills to see Chicago in the distance. I knew Beryl was reviving her king…
*Back with Altiar* Altiar climbed the side of the mountain till he got to the top and looked off in the distance to see a dark light coming from Chicago. "So it begins…"
*Back at the castle* Serena ran outside and looked around her as dark clouds hovered above as everyone else runs out. "Serena, what's going on?" Ray said. "Its beginning…Beryl is reviving her husband!" Serena said. Everyone looked on in fear not sure what to do as lightning started to strike around them.
*Back with beryl* Beryl held her scepter over the coffin as Hotaru did the same. "Oh dark forces, hear my plead. Bring my love back so we may cast this world into darkness!" Beryl said as a huge ball of dark energy shoot out and hit the coffin. "Hotaru now!" Beryl yelled. Hotaru took a deep breath and swung her scythe down… time stood still for everyone as a dark light shot into the sky that everyone saw. After a few seconds, everything stopped. Nothing but quiet.
Beryl looked at the coffin as nothing was happening. Beryl slowly walked over and lifted the lid and looked in. She smiled as a man laid in front of her…the king had returned...
Beryl ran her hand across his face, it was warm. Beryl motioned for the guards. "Take him to the recovery room and hook him up!" The guards picked him up and started to carry him off. "It is done…now for phase two." Beryl said walking back to her office. Hotaru followed close behind as the dark clouds still hung over the city.
*back with Samuel* After 20 minutes of driving, we finally pull up to the castle. I hopped out and picked up my box and bag. "Thanks for the ride brother." I said bowing. The brother nodded before driving off back to the town. I turned around and saw light coming from the castle. I smiled as I started to walk to the castle, eager to see my friends again.
I walked up to the door and opened it and walked in. no one was in the dining hall as I heard people in the kitchen and the bedrooms. I sat my bag and box down next to the wall and stood back up and took my hood off. "Hellooooo? Anyone home?" I yelled. The next thing I saw was a blonde girl rushing me at full speed.
"Sammmyyyyy!" Mina yelled as she tackled me to the ground. We both flew back as Mina started to hug me. "Oof, hey Mina." I said smiling. "Sammy, your back!" Mina yelled as everyone else came out. "Jeez Mina, can you give Samuel some breathing room?" Ray said. Mina stood up as I stood up as well. "Hey everyone. I'm glad you're doing well." I said smiling. Just them Mina noticed what I was wearing. "Sammy? what's with the fancy robe?" Everyone was wondering the same thing. "It's a long story. Let's talk about it over dinner." I said picking up my bag and box.
"Here Sammy, let me help you." Mina said grabbing my bag. "I'll help too." Lita said blushing and walking over and grabbing my box. I laughed as Mina and Lita looked at each other before walking off to the bed room.
"I'm glad your safe Samuel." Ray said walking over to me. "And you as well ray." I said hugging her. "S-Samuel?" Ray said as she blushed. "What?" I said pulling away smiling at her. "N-never mind." Ray said looking away. I started talking with the others for a few minutes before Serena came out of the kitchen.
"Time to eat everyone!" Serena yelled as everyone headed for the table. I walked in still wearing my robe as everyone sited down. I took my seat next to Mina and Lita as Michelle and Trista started to put the plates down. "This looks good." I said looking at the plate of food. "Michelle and Trista made it." Serena said. "Oh please, it was nothing." Michelle said waving her hand in front of her. Michelle and Trista sat down as everyone started to eat. It wasn't long for someone to asked how things went.
"So Samuel, tell us how things went with Altiar." Serena said eating her food. "Ya, tell us Sammy." Mina said eating her food. I looked up from my food and wiped my mouth off. "Nothing much. We mostly trained, I helped him with a few things around town but that was about it. After I finished training, I became an assassin." Serena looked at me.
"So you're a true assassin now?" I nodded taking a drink of water. "Is that why you're wearing a robe?" Ray said. "Yep." I said standing up. "This robe…was Ezio's." Everyone almost dropped their plates. "What!?" Serena said. "That's incredible." Lita said. "No wonder its beautiful." Amy said. "I learned a few tricks as well."
"Ohh show us, show us, show us!" Mina said standing up. I let out a small laugh. "Ok, ill show you one." I said walking over to the other end of the table. "Mina, Lita, Amy, if you may." I said motioning for them to come to me. They all got up and walked over to me. "Ok, now just stand just like this." I said placing them in the shape of a triangle. "What now?" Lita said. "Just watch me." I said stepping back a few feet. Everyone watched me as I slowly walked to them and in between them as I disappeared.
"W-What!?" Ray yelled as everyone dropped their forks. "Where did you go Samuel!?" Amy yelled looking around. "I'm right here." I said walking back out of the spot as I came back into view. Everyone was speechless.
"What kind of magic did they teach you!?" Lita said looking at me. "Not magic, talent." I said walking back over to my seat. Everyone went and sat back down, still shocked from what I showed them.
"I had no idea assassins where capable of such things." Serena said looking at me. "Me either. But with my powers filly awakened…we can take back our city and stop queen beryl." I said looking around. Everyone looked at each other and smiled.
I sat back down and started to eat. "Beryl has brought back her husband not to long ago. But things are not as dim as we would think. Her husband is very weak and will need a few days before he is up and about. That is when we will strike." I said taking a drink of water. Serena smiled at me as she started to eat. "You changed Samuel."
"What do you mean?" I said. "I can tell, your so much more of a leader now then you where before."
"I agree." Lita said. "Thanks." I said smiling. "So when do we head back to the city?" Michelle said.
"We need a plan first before we go rushing in." I said wiping my mouth off. I say we spend tomorrow getting everything ready. Then we need to scoop out the city and see what where up against." I said looking around. "Sounds go to me." Trista said. "How are we going to get into the city?" Michelle said. "Just leave that to me." I said drinking some water. "So Samuel, I heard your birthday is coming up." Trista said. "You hoping for anything."
"Hmm…not really. I have everything I could want." I said looking around. Mina giggles. "Well besides us, what else would you like to have?" I thought to myself for a second. "I'm sure I'll like whatever you give me." I said smiling. "Anyway, how did your training go? did everyone get along?" I said looking at everyone. "It went well." Serena said. We can all now transform at will." Serena said looking around at everyone. "We also worked on our attacks as well." Amy said smiling. So for thee next 30 minutes, Everyone told me about there attacks as I smiled, glad i was back with my friends.
After a looking up at the clock, I took a drink of water and looked around. "Anyway, let's get ready for bed, we have a busy day tomorrow." I said standing up. Everyone nodded before getting up as well. We all went into the bedroom to get ready for bed. After brushing our teeth and making sure everyone was i there own bed, we drifted off to sleep hoping everything would go well tomorrow…
Tuesday November 8th 1977. 8:09 A.M. Waking up to the sound of running water, I looked around. Everyone was up except for Lita and Amy. I got up and stretched. I looked at my robe hanging on the wall for a little bit. I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I looked out the window to see that it snowed last night. I knocked on the door to see if anyone was in. I didn't hear anything. I opened the door and walked into one of the shower stalls and started to take a shower. I started to think to myself about how I was going to sneak into the city when I heard someone come in.
I turned around and saw a pair of feet. I started to blush as the person started to get undressed. They turned on the water as I tried to keep quiet. "Who else is in here?" A voice said. "Ray?!" I said to myself. I took a deep breath. "Hey Ray." I said. "S-samuel!?" Ray said a little shocked. "Sorry, I didn't know you were in here." Ray said. "Its fine, don't worry." I said as I started to wash my hair. No one said anything for a while. I wasn't sure what to say.
"Hey Samuel?" Ray said. "Ya?" I said looking at the wall. "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure." I said. "Umm…what kind of girl do you like?" Ray said a little shy. I was taken back a little. "Well…I'm not sure how to say it." I said looking up at the shower head. "Why do you ask?" I said. Ray didn't say anything for a little bit. "Samuel…d-do you like me?" I started to blush. "Where is this coming from?" I said blushing more. "N-never mind." Ray said turning off the water. Ray dried off and left to the bedrooms to get dressed. "Ray…" I said thinking to myself. I told myself I would have to ask her what was wrong later. After drying off, I got dressed and went into the kitchen to see Michelle and Serena cooking.
"Morning." I said. "Morning Serena said. "Where is everyone?" I said looking around. "Lita and Amy are taking a shower, Trista and Amara went to the store for some supplies, I don't know what Mina and Ray are doing." Michelle said turning the stove off. "I see." I said leaning against the wall.
"Serena, can I ask you something?" I said looking up at her. "Of course." Serena said chopping up some tomatoes. "Do you really think we can stop queen beryl?" Serena stopped chopping as Michelle looked at Serena. "Honesty…I don't know." Serena said not turning around. "When I think of all the things we have done, and all the things she has done, there's a big gap in our powers." Serena said still not moving. "But I can say this. I know as long as we believe in our cause more, we will win." Serena said smiling and going back to what she was doing.
I smiled. "Ok." I said. I walked over to the front door and opened it. There was about 3 inches of snow on the ground. "Didn't expect to see snow in November huh?" Amy said walking up from behind me. "Ya, I didn't think it would snow till at least the end of December." I said looking at Amy. "Well we are about two thousand feet above Chicago." Amy said turning around and heading for the kitchen to make something to eat. I thought to myself before closing the door and heading back to the bedroom. I walked in and put on a coat and gloves and started to walk to the front door. I walked outside and took a deep breath.
I looked around before I started to make a snowman. I got the base done as it was about two feet tall. "What are you doing Samuel?" Lita said looking at me, standing by the front door. "Oh, Lita." I said a little surprised. "I didn't see you there." I said as I started to roll up some more snow. "I'm just making a snowman."
"Oh. That sounds like fun." Lita said thinking to herself before walking back inside. I got the second ball done as Lita walked back outside in a green coat on and gloves. "Can I help Samuel?" Lita said a little shy. "Of course." I said smiling. Lita smiled before walking over to me.
"What can I do?" Lita said. "Can you make this snowball a little bigger? I'm going to grab some sticks and stones." I said walking over to a tree. Lita nods as she starts to roll the snowball.
Mina and Ray where looking at us out the window for a few seconds before heading back to the bedroom. I found two sticks and a few rocks on the ground. I walked back as Lita put the snowball on top of the bottom one.
"Looks good." I said sticking the sticks on both sides of the snowball. I gave Lita a few rocks to help me with the face. We put the face on as Mina and ray walked out in coats and gloves. "Nice snowman." Ray said walking over with Mina. "Where is his carrot nose?" Mina said looking at him. I let out a laugh. "We don't have any carrots Mina." I said looking back at them. "Oh, I knew that." Mina said blushing a little. We all laughed as I looked at the ground and though to myself. "Hmmm." I leaned down and scooped up some snow and made a snowball. I looked at Lita sand threw it at her. Lita was taken back by it.
"Samuel?!" Lita said shocked. I started to laugh as Lita picked up her own snowball and threw it at me. I looked at Lita who had a smirk on her face. "You want to play like that then huh?" I said smiling picking up another snowball.
"Snowball fight!" I yelled as I threw it at Lita. Lita ducked out of the way as she picked up her own. Mina ran to my side and Ray went to Lita. We started to throw snowballs at each other for a long time...
*sometime later* Amy walked over to the door and opened it. She was shocked to see a wall seven feet high. "Umm, Samuel?" Amy said. I poked my head out from the side. "Shh." I said. "They might see you." I said waving her over. Amy walked over behind the wall to me. "Samuel, Serena wanted to know when we should start packing." Amy said as I looked over the wall with some binoculars. "For what?" I said scanning the area. "To go back to Chicago." Amy said looking up at me. I thought to myself for a minute. I looked at Amy and smiled. "We will pack up tonight before we go to bed, we don't have much stuff-"
"Ahhh!" A voiced yelled. I looked back over to see Mina running for her life from Lita carrying a flag. "She's got it!" I yelled jumping down and grabbing some snowballs. "Amy! grab some snow balls and attack!" I yelled as I start throwing them at Lita. "W-wait what?" Amy said.
Amy quickly grabbed a few snowballs and started to throw them at Lita. Lita stopped to wipe her face clean as Mina dove over the wall and slammed the flag into the snow next to ours. "Yayyy we won!" Mina yelled. "Woooo!" I yelled back. "Aww, and I was so close." Ray said peeking her head up from the snow about ten feet away. "Need to learn to be quicker Ray." I said smiling. "Good game everyone." I said looking at Amy. "Thanks for the help Amy." I said saluting her. "Oh, umm no problem." Amy said smiling.
"Can we go in now? I'm getting cold." Lita said walking over brushing snow off of her coat. "Ok, let's go celebrate with some hot coco!" I said pointing to the door. "Yay!" Mina yelled jumping up into the air before running over to the door.
We followed Mina inside and went to the kitchen to see Serena packing everything up. "Well looks who back from war." Serena said smiling at us. "Permission to drink warm coco." Mina said saluting Serena. "Permission granted." Serena said grabbing a few cups. Serena started to pour us coco as we took off our coats and gloves so they could dry.
"Where is everyone else?" I said. "They're getting their things packed for tomorrow." Serena said taking out some marshmallows. "I have a fire going in the dining hall, so go rest for now and you can pack up your stuff when you're done." Serena said putting some marshmallows into the cups. "Thank you Serena." We all say grabbing our cups.
We walked over to the fireplace and sat down. We started to make small talk as we drank our cups of coco. After we were done, we got up and went to the bedroom to start packing. After we got done packing, I looked at the clock and saw it was already ten. "Well it's time for bed." I said looking at everyone. We got ready for bed. We brushed our teeth and crawled into bed. "What time do we want to leave tomorrow?" Mina said. "Ten should be good. We will need some time to get into town and back to my house." I said blowing out the candle on the window. "So tomorrow we will get to sleep in your house?' Mina said blushing. "Ya." I said rolling my eyes as Mina lets out a small giggle. "Sweet dreams everyone." I said. Everyone said goodnight and where off to sleep in a matter of minutes, dreaming of happier times…
