NOTE: This chapter is in the perspective of Rebecca, as a journal entry.

*Italics set the opening

A book lies on the floor of a building where Desmond was kidnapped; Rebecca, Shaun, and William had run away soon after the scene as to find a new undisclosed location. The book is black, leather bound and has golden-trim pages. It lies, open to the final page written on, obviously misplaced or dropped soon before departure, beside it lies Desmond's hidden blade, either forgotten or left as a memorial to the place. The book, if one were to flip it over, would read in the hasty, almost illegible writing of a fine-tip permanent marker that belonged to Rebecca Crane.

2012, Entry # [the numbers are too messy to read]

Christ, I don't even remember the date anymore… Our days are running short and that monster Warren kidnapped Desmond today… We're leaving tonight, and I barely had time to scrawl down some notes and blow off steam. Abstergo found us, I don't know how, but I know we're getting out of here to regroup and plan how we can get Desmond back. I'm leaving this book here with his blade, in hopes we can come back to retrieve them both.

That doesn't matter right now, I watched a man who I've been watching the last several weeks, even months, who the hell knows, and the days are a blur. He came to us with Lucy as somebody who was young, and had no idea what he was in for. As time passed he learned to embrace his destiny as an Assassin and he matured faster than I thought possible, he was sarcastic when we met, but now… I don't know anymore, I just know it's better.

But, the fact of the matter is that Warren took him and he and his God damned cronies took off, probably to find more people to come get us. I fucking HATE him. His voice is perverse and his face reminds me of the way the Mona Lisa follows you with her eyes across the room. I watched in vain as Desmond fought desperately to get the attackers off of him, but he had been on the offense and it was how they got him from behind… But now our only way of finding those Pieces of Eden are gone and we can't do shit until we find him, which is what we'll do, but I don't know how. I have pages before this with tears that were once all over them, the water marks are still visible to whomever is reading this, I'm sure, but this one by far is the most painful to write, I only hope the paper doesn't fall apart in your hands as you read.

But this entry isn't about me complaining because of our loss of Desmond and how that sets the team back, that would be Lucy's- [the writing is hastily written in a messy fashion and then clearly scribbled out, clearly being something Rebecca wished to forget or didn't want somebody reading] It's about him, I will admit that… But the team can be in my thoughts, I don't feel the needs of the team, I help think about them. No matter how long we'd known each other… Desmond and I had always been friends, even if at first he was a bit immature and instigated with Shaun a lot, but it was funny sometimes, and I always thought it was funny the way they would volley with banter. I know he's alive… I know he's out there… We just have to find him.

Shaun, if you're reading this now… Stop. You shouldn't have come this far, but if you are reading, I'll know you did, and I highly advise you to put it back where you found it… NOW.

I'm going to put into words something I haven't said in a long time… I've said it about Lucy once and about my family since I've had to abandon them for the Assassins… I miss him. But, I don't just miss him… He was everything to me after Lucy died, right up until earlier tonight, I was his everything… I just hope he'll forgive me… I love him… And I haven't even known him for a long time, really. I just know it.

Goodbye,

Rebecca Crane

PS: You're so dead, Shaun.

Author's Note: Ugh... Sorry, I had this long note written out before and it deleted it before I saved... So I don't know why it did that and it wouldn't let me undo... Either way, I'm going to cut it shorter (your lucky day, yeah?). Thank you guys, for all the reviews, though more of them would be nice (hint hint), and I really appreciate all the favourites and subscriptions I've been getting. :D I don't know what perspective Ch. 5 will be, go ahead and e-mail me if there's something you'd really like me to do, review how I did with the journal entry please ^-^ and I would really appreciate any comparisons you can make between this chapter and others so I can see whether another one of these is ever wanted again. Thank you, everybody, you're the reason I write and I want you to be happy ^-^ but I can't please everybody, so just send me things you want to see and maybe I can put them in. Goodnight, review and I'll see you in Chapter 5 and my Inbox. ;)
