Chapter 8
Soon Roy picked me up, carrying me over to one of the horses and sat me up on it, getting on behind me. Roy's arms went around me as he took the reins. Mario and Ezio got onto another horse, Ezio in front. I was limp in my brother's arms; my eyes slightly drooped with tears, tiredness and sorrow. They were slightly glossed over as my whimpers and the sound of the horse hoofs on the cobble stone was all that could be heard.
Ezio looked over to me every few moments to see how I was. My eyes slowly slid to Ezio, my eyes looking at his face but strangely I didn't recognize him until he spoke "Hoshi...You alright...?...I know that was hard...I lost family too...My father, older brother and younger brother were hung in front of me..." Ezio trailed off as I could sense that he was still bothered by it. My body was being completely supported by Roy's body as mine just swayed from side to side within Roy's arms, not even having the strength to keep myself up.
"Oh God...Shawn...Sasha...I'm sorry...I will not cry...I will be strong for your older sister Hoshi...I will protect her with my life...Both of your deaths will never be forgotten..." Roy thought as he looked down at me, a sad smile on his lips. Soon my mind went black as darkness over came me.
I woke up some time later to Ezio, Roy, Mario, and Ezio's mother and sister in the room. I was on a bed...Ezio's room again. My eyes slid to Roy's as my arms reached out slightly for him until I felt something stuck to my face. My right hand moved to it and when I pulled back I was slightly shocked to find blood. Then everything hit me like a brick wall."Shawn and Sasha are dead...and I killed the man who killed them...This is everyone's blood...Mixed into one...I need to get washed up...I need to rid myself of this blood..." I thought as I slowly sat up. There was a dress on the edge of the bed which looked to be new but I didn't care. I swung my legs over the side of the bed, slowly standing up.
"H-Hey...Hoshi...You shouldn't be up walking around yet." Roy scolded but I only sent an emotionless look his way and scoffed slightly. "Look Roy, I need to bathe. I coated in blood...In Shawn's and Sasha's and that bastard's blood. I need to get rid of it..." I said in an emotionless tone, jumping out of Ezio's room and then stopped, looking back up as I called a soft "Uhh...Can someone show me to the bathroom...? I would really like a bath..." "I'll do it..." Some female's voice called. When the young woman began climbing down the latter I recognized her to be Ezio's sister, whose name I did not know.
