Disclaim: I Do NOT Own Assassin's Creed…I only own Alexandria

Chapter 8

Achilles heard the front door open and close.

Alexandria walked in the living room and saw Achilles sitting in his chair. She looked at him.

"How did he know?"

Achilles raised one of his greying eyebrows at the young woman.

"What are you talking about?"

"Is it that obvious? How did he know I was sad?"

Achilles shrugged his shoulder.

"Well, to Connor, you're like an open book. I think it's easy for him to see the emotions that are going through you."

She shook her head.

"You could never do that."

"I know, but it's easy for Connor."

She really couldn't believe. She hadn't know Connor for one whole day and he could already tell how she was feeling. She spent a year with Achilles and he still didn't know how to figure her out. Connor was a complete stranger.

(That afternoon)

Alexandria was on the balcony, resting her arms on the railing and watching the sun go down. She smiled. Sunsets were always beautiful.

"Alexandria,"

She jumped and turned. She saw Connor standing at the door that led back into the house from the balcony. She placed a hand over her slamming heart.

"Connor, please, stop sneaking up on me like that."

His lips pulled into a smile. She noticed.

"Are you making fun of me?"

He shrugged his shoulders.

"Maybe,"

"Now that's mean."

She pretend to look hurt. He held up his hands as a sign surrender.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

They both smiled.

He walked out onto the balcony. He stood next to Alexandria. He rested his arms on the railing and looked out at the setting sun.

She didn't dare look at him; because once she looked she wouldn't be able to look away.

Connor looked at his hands.

"So, Alexandria how are you enjoying it here?"

She smiled.

"I love it. I'm glad to be back."

He gave a small nod of his head.

"I'm glad to here that."

She really didn't want to talk about her; she wanted to get to know Connor better.

"So, how long has Achilles' taught you?"

"I've been here for a year."

"Achilles can be a hard teacher, I know. But, he does it for your own good."

"I know."

They both laughed. They both understood how Achilles' teaches.

"So, where did you come from, Connor?"

Connor felt his muscles clench.

"I came from a village that's not far from here."

She heard the edge in his voice. She looked at him.

"Connor, is something wrong? Did something happen to your village?"

Connor felt his blood boil hot. He looked at her. He grabbed her upper arms and pulled her to him. She gasped at his sudden action. She saw the anger in his face. It didn't scare her, but terrified her.

The anger reminded her so much of the anger that was on Ezio's face when she punched him.

She felt tears welding up in her eyes, but she wouldn't dare let them flow.

"Please, don't ask me that."

She couldn't stand it. She pulled her arms away from his stone grip and walked back into the house without looking back to him.

Connor watched her leave.

He felt bad for blowing up at her, but what shook him the most, he saw the same sadness that hung over her like a dark veil.

Whenever they were playing around with each other, she had a smile on her face. But, something changed. He brought back the great sadness. He didn't know what happened and why she came here, but whatever it was, he made her remember the dark memory.
