Disclaim: I Do NOT Own Assassin's Creed or any of the characters…I only own Alexandria

Note: Altair makes another appearance in this chapter

Chapter 5

Altair was taking a walk outside of the bureau. He heard the sound of a horse neigh. He knew the neigh from somewhere. He walked to where the neigh came from. He couldn't believe it. Nyla, Alexandria's paint horse, was walking to the stables.

"How did she get out?"

He walked up to the horse and grabbed the sides of her face. He scratched her head.

"Hello, Nyla. How did you get out?"

He knew that no one was so irresponsible to leave the stable door open. He started thinking of all the ways Nyla got out, but it came down to one conclusion.

"She wouldn't."

He led Nyla back to the stables, before he went back into the bureau. He rushed up the stairs to Alexandria's room. He knocked on the door.

"Alexandria,"

There was no response.

He pushed open the door and stepped into her room. She wasn't in there. He looked around, trying to find her. He came to her desk and saw a note.

It was addressed to him.

He picked up the envelope. It was in Alexandria's handwriting. He broke the seal and pulled out the letter.

Lord Altair,

It was going to be hard for me to tell you 'good-bye', so I just wrote this note. This was the only way for me to tell you. I had to get away for a while.

It's hard for me to wake up in bureau and look into Ezio's eyes. I don't want to think of what could've been. I've already messaged a friend and he's waiting for me to arrive.

You were right; it will take time for my wounds to heal. I know you will lecture me when I get back, I just only hope that you will understand what I'm going through. I mean no disrespect, because you are one of them I care for and respect.

I don't know when I will be back, but I will not be gone forever. Italy is MY home.

Alexandria

He crumpled the paper in his hand. He didn't understand why she didn't tell him. He was responsible for her after all. He wanted to catch up with her, but he knew it was a waste of time. Whenever Alexandria put her mind to something, she stuck with it. She was always stubborn. He didn't know why she was assigned to him as his student. Her stubbornness was a very high reason that she couldn't be trained, but Altair did it. He was able to train the hardhead and disrespectful student, because he wouldn't give up on her.

He put down the crumpled up note and looked out the window. He saw that night was approaching. She was already far away. He should've kept a closer eye on her. Everything in him told him to go and find her, but he didn't listen. He knew that Alexandria had to do this on her own. She had to take time to heal her own wounds and she had to face this demon on her wound.

He prayed to his ancestors that Alexandria would stay safe and that she could find the peace she was looking for.

She needed to find peace.

She had to find peace.

(With Alexandria)

She hadn't moved from her spot on the barrel. She just wanted to keep to herself.

She looked up to the night sky. She saw the many stars dancing in the sky. She hoped that Altair had found her note, explaining her departure. She just hoped that he would understand that she had to find this peace on her own.

She dropped her face into her hands.

All the emotions started piling into her heart. She wanted to cry, but she was done with crying. She was sick of shedding tears for Ezio. He didn't deserve her tears. She never wanted to see him again and she promised herself that she would never fall in love with another man. Her mother loved one man and he broke her heart. Her mother promised herself on that day, she would never love again. Alexandria was like her mother, except for the soft heart. Her mother could be loving at times, but she was a hard woman. She only had a soft spot for her daughter.

That spot was only special and tender place in her mother's heart and Alexandria knew that she would always be in her mother's heart, even after she passed on to be with her grandmother and brother.
