Note: Connor makes his appearance…YAY!
Disclaim: I Do NOT Own Assassin's Creed…I only own Alexandria
Chapter 7
The sound of animals waking up in forest caused Alexandria to wake up. She wiped the sleep from her eyes. She closed and locked the window.
"Alexandria,"
She looked toward her bedroom door when she heard Achilles' voice.
"I'm coming."
She pulled her long hair back with a ribbon and walked out of her room. She went down the stairs.
"Achilles,"
"I'm in here."
She walked into the living room. She stopped at the arch way when she saw the handsome Native American man, sitting on the couch. He looked at Alexandira. Their eyes locked.
Achilles saw the way the two young adults looked at each other. He cleared his throat. Alexandria shot back into reality and looked away from the handsome stranger. She looked at her old teacher. Achilles motioned a hand to the handsome stranger.
"This is the student I told you about. Alexandria this is Connor."
Connor stood up and walked over to Alexandria. Even though he towered over her, she didn't flinch or move away. He was surprised at the girl's courage.
He held his hand out to her.
"It's nice to meet you, Alexandria. Achilles has said so many things about you."
She smiled and shook his hand. She felt a chill run up her spine.
His hand was so warm.
"You too, Connor."
Their hands dropped to their sides and they just looked at each other.
Achilles' walking stick thumped against the floor, causing Alexandria jump. Achilles stood up and leaned on his walking stick.
He looked at Connor.
"Connor, I would like to talk to Alexandria for a few minutes…alone."
"Of course."
Connor looked at Alexandria.
"It was nice to meet you."
"And to you."
Connor walked out of the living room.
Alexandria and Achilles heard the sound of the front door open and close.
Alexandria looked at Achilles. He motioned to the couch with his walking stick.
"Sit down. You and I have alot to talk about."
She wanted to object. She didn't want to talk about Ezio, but Achilles wouldn't have it. She walked over to the couch and sat down. She folded her hands and placed them on her lap. Achilles walked over to the couch with the support of his stick.
As soon as Achilles sat next to her, she looked down at her hands. Achilles looked at the young woman. He let out a deep sigh and shook his head.
He could plainly see how upset she was.
He placed one of his hands on top of her folded hands. She looked at his hand, but she didn't look at him.
"Alexandria, sometimes things have to change. Sometimes for the best. I know you're upset. I can tell, because I've never seen you like this. I know this hurts, but you've got to believe that something good will come out of it. I believe that something good will come out of this. I wish I only knew what it was. I really do."
She looked up and looked at Achilles. He could see the unshed tears in her eyes, but they weren't going to fall.
"I'm sorry, Achilles."
He shook his head.
"There's nothing to be sorry about."
She smiled.
"Thanks, Achilles."
She would've hugged him, but she knew that he hated being touched.
(Later On)
Alexandria was in the stables with the horses. She always liked animals better than people. She stroked Achilles' black stallion, Storm's, snout. Storm bumped his head against Alexandria's chest. She smiled and scratched him behind one of his ears.
"It seems that he likes you."
Alexandria jumped and looked over her shoulder. Connor was standing there with an apple in his hand.
He walked over to the young woman and the black stallion. He held the apple toward the black stallion. Storm happily accepted the apple and rubbed his head against Connor's chest. Connor smiled at Storm's gesture. He scratched Storm's head.
He looked at Alexandria.
"Did I scare you?"
She gave Connor an embarrassed smile.
"A little."
"I'm sorry."
She shook her head.
"Don't worry about it."
She turned her attention back to Storm.
"I've always found animals to be better company than humans."
Connor gave a small nod of his head.
"They are better listeners."
She nodded.
"And their the best companions when you're going through heartache."
She stopped herself when she realized she said to much. Connor looked at the young woman. He saw the sadness on her face.
"Are you all right? There is a great sadness upon you."
She bite down on her lower lip.
"Even he can see it!"
She looked at him and shook her head.
"I'm all right."
She gave Storm a final pat on the head, before she looked back at Connor.
"It was nice talking to you, Connor."
She walked out of the stables, before Connor could say anything.
Connor watched her as she left. He felt terrible for noticing her sadness, but it hung over her like a dark veil.
He felt that he should say something to her, but he couldn't say anything if he didn't know what her terrible sadness was.
