PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
This will be another one of those thrown into the game kind of story so if you don't like those kind of stories then I suggest you go now, and if you do chose to read it, I will not tolerate flamethrowers. If I want to write a story, then so be it I have every right to, but if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all, though structured criticism can be tolerated. Also this character will be loosely based off of me and trust me when I say that I will try my very best to not make her a Mary Sue, because I am nowhere near being perfect.

All Too Well
"P-Please… I speak the truth…" I tense up as I see his hand rise, ready to strike me and I shut my eyes close, ready for the impact of his hand to go across my face but it never comes. Instead I hear the clashing of metal and a gun shot. I slowly peek an eye open only to have my jaw drop at the sight in front of me.
All of the men who were standing behind the redcoat who was standing in front of me, all lay dead on the floor, including the one who was all up in my person space. All of those bodies lay around the only figure that stood and that figure happened to be wearing a white and blue robe with his back facing me as he slowly stood from a squat, slowly turning his head towards me. I just about pissed myself. Again. From seeing who it was in those white robes. It was none other than Ratonhnhake:ton. Otherwise known as Connor Kenway. Assassin of the American Revolution.
Pinch me. I must be dreaming.

All Too Well
Chapter 1: Holy Flipping Crud
Holy flipping crud. Is that really Connor Kenway? What the flip man. I must be freaking dreaming for sure!
My heart was beating at a million miles a minute and I thought for sure that it would burst out at any given moment as the ominous figure turned to face me, his hood obscuring my view of his face, but I knew good and well that he could see my pale face as I stared at him in complete and utter shock, my mouth gaping slightly and my eyes wide and round in astonishment.
"Are you okay?" He said as he cautiously approached me, his voice deep and insoluble as I could feel his eyes scrutinize me and my attire, but said nothing about it. "You should not travel in this area. These areas are closely watched by redcoats and it is not wise for you to be here alone."
I looked down in shame, my cheeks heating up from being scolded, letting my long dark hair cover my face just as his hood hid his.
"I'm sorry..." I said meekly as I looked back at him, biting on the inside of my cheek. "I... I'm lost and have no clue whatsoever as to where I am or how I even got here."
He stood quiet for a minute and I looked back down at my hand, fiddling with the necklace around my neck mindlessly which was , which just so happened to be an Assassin's Creed pocket watch locket that I got off of Etsy for about 10 dollars, and which I wore almost every day as if my life deepened on it. Now that I think about it, how did I get here? Is this all just a dream or is this flipping real? Because if this is a dream it is freaking awesome, if not then Holy crud! How in the heck am I supposed to get back home and how much time will pass there as opposed to here? Could months here be but a few mere hours there?
"Where did you get that?" Connor deep voice pulled me out of my thoughts as he stared at my necklace in my hand, and I immediately grabbed it into my hand protectively as I looked at him perplexed then a light bulb went off in my head at the realization of my necklace bearing the crest of the creed and what it might look like to him.
Oh shit. How screwed am I? Quick make up a lie!
"Oh, this old thing? I got it from my father a few years ago as a gift. A family heirloom he said it was..." I lied as I looked down at the necklace. I wasn't all that much of a lie. My dad did give it to me as a birthday present a few months before he passed two years ago. So at least it wasn't all that bid of a lie. I glanced back up at Connor whose probing gaze was examining me and I pulled my cardigan closer to me, covering myself as much as I could seeing as my shirt was a v-cut shirt which by this times standards was too much skin.
"Do you know the meaning behind this symbol?" He asked as he tilted his head up slightly, peering down at me in question, his eyes just barely visible to my line of sight as I stared up at him, his gaze intense and hostile, but he had a sense of curiosity to him as I watched him cock his head to the side slightly.
Would it be better to say no? That I had no clue whatsoever as to what it meant. Or would it be better to say yes I did know? Or maybe I could say no and that I was searching for the meaning behind it and say that my father left it in his will that once I was of a certain age I should venture out to the Frontier and re-new our family legacy that has not been what is used to be in a century? Yes! That's a perfect idea! Oh! And I could say that I don't remember how I got here because on my way to the frontier I was mugged! Oh my glob! I'm so smart! I should totally make this a story on fanfiction! It's be so awesome! I'd be so awesome and people will love me, then I shall rule the world with my word saviness! I'm not sure if that's a word but it sure is now! Oh ye-
Connor cleared his throat and I just blinked as I looked at him, my thoughts coming to an end as he looked at me expectantly.
Okay. Relax. Be natural. You're a good liar. Or so I've been told…
"Oh, uh.. No. I don't actually. That necklace is actually the reason why I'm here. Wherever here is..." I said as I glanced around, pretending to seem lost. "Anyway, when my father passed as I said, he left me a note, saying to seek the meaning of this symbol. I was on my way to the Frontier I believe he said to see what all the fuss was about. He also said that it was important that I did. That I needed to help restore peace and re-new our family legacy…" I trailed off as Connors surveyed me.
"And do you have this… letter on you? Do you have any proof?"
I simply shook my head as I looked down with a solemn expression on my face.
"Sadly I do not. I was mugged on my and woke up here with nothing. Literally. I managed to err… borrow these clothes from people as I have wandered here, at least they let me keep my necklace… I just hope that they didn't… violate me." I said trying to get some sympathy from him. "That is when I stumbled onto those damned redcoats, and luckily for me that's when you swooped in like a hero of sorts. Thank you by the way for that. I probably would have been dead if it weren't for you..."
My words trailed off as I glanced up at him once but and let me tell you this now that those graphics of him in the game do no justice to Ratonhnhake:ton. Though I could only see from the tip of his nose down, it was all I needed to let my inner fan girl out because that boy or rather young man had one damned good pair of lips. What a shame that no girl has probably ever kissed them before. Or probably even got remotely close to him, other than when he carried Myriam to Achilles house to help her.
What a sham.
I do my best to look completely innocent and non-suspicious to him as my eyes roam curiously around us then to him, pretending to examine him as I wait for his verdict then my eyes land on his sash ad belt a light bulb going on in my head.
I'm so brilliant!
I dart my eyes between Connor and his belt, my gaze settling on his belt then slowly trailing back up to meet his hard gaze, making me cower back slightly, but then straighten up once again as I spoke with as much authority I could muster to match his earlier question.
"Where did you get that?" My free hand that wasn't clasped around my necklace motions towards his belt to which he glances down at, as if only noticing that he had on a belt, though it has been there the whole time, and I noticed his cheeks take a light tinge to them, but just as quickly as they appeared it was gone within a blink.
"That is none of your concern." He states as he eyes me down, causing my stubbornness to heighten and I straighten my back, trying to measure up to him.
"Then I guess you didn't need to know about how I got my necklace or why I'm here then now do you?" I say as I narrow my eyes slightly at the Native.
I watch as he looks of into the distance in thought, probably pondering on whether or not to kill me.
Whelp. If I die, at least it will be at Connor's hands. Heck. I'd rather be killed by the hands of the god all mighty Ratonhnhake:ton then by redcoats or anybody else in the era.
"What is your name?"
I blinked and stared up at him. Dumbfounded.
"What?"
I watched as he crossed his arms and his lips go into a straight line.
Dem lips doe.
"What shall I call you by? Seeing as we will be traveling together…" He tails off and my eyes widen slightly as I stare at him momentarily shocked, and in the spur of the moment I rush to him and wrap my arms tightly around him in a hug, never so happy as to hear that I will have to travel, but not just with anyone, but with Connor, and not just to some rink a dink place, but to the Homestead.
I'm traveling with Connor freaking Kenway to his Homestead! Where I'll most likely meet Achilles! Hold on. I think my fan girl ovaries may have just exploded.
"Praise Allah and thank the lord..." I say as I feel Connor stiffen up from me touching him then take a few steps back from him, my cheeks flushing in embarrassment and I look down at my feet as I mumble out an apology.
Opps. Forgot he doesn't like to be touched, but boy was it worth it. If only he could read my mind, he would think me crazy. Oh my god. What if he can read my mind? Testing. Testing. One. Two. Three. Cough if you can hear me.
Right at that precise moment he clears his throat and I look up at him as he straightens up. "Right then. Now that that is over with, may I know your name now?"
OH MY GOD. He can read my mind! Don't freak Marilyn. DO NOT FREAK OUT. Act natural!
My cheeks became even brighter as I realized that I still haven't answered his question. "Oh yeah... Sorry. My name is Marilyn, but you can call me Mar, Mary, or Lyn for short. Whichever pleases you."
"I think I will just call you Maryilyn."
"Alright. Do I get to know your name as well or will I just have to call you 'Ominous man in a hood'?"
"My apologies. My name is Ratonhnhake:ton." A ghost of a smirk appears on his lips, expecting me to mispronounce his name most likely.
"Pleasure to be acquainted by you Ratonhnhake:ton." I say with a slight smirk as I watch his smirk slowly disappear from his lips.
Bet he didn't expect me to pronounce it correctly. BAMM! His mind is probably blown.
"Anyway, how am I to trust traveling with you, and how do you know where I'm supposed to be going? For all I know you could be some mad man looking for a woman to take advantage of." I say in a matter-of-factly tone.
"Well, I did just save your life from those redcoats." He said bully as he began to walk away. "Come with me if you want or stay there. It does not matter to me."
"I think I will stay right here and wait for help." I say stubbornly as I cross my arms and watch him walk away from me for a minute, but I then take a glance around me realizing that no one will come to my rescue.
"Hey! Wait up!" I say I run to catch up to him, panting slightly as I finally reach up to him so which he just glances over at me then looks straight ahead once more. "So are you going to tell me what the symbol means or am I going to have to wait to figure that out?"
"You will gain that knowledge in time if you prove yourself worthy." He simply say as we continue to walk reaching what I assume was his camp site.
Oh goodie. That means I have to wait.
Hey! Sorry for the long delay and the shortness, but I will try to make the chapters longer and attempt to improve my writing!
