Chapter 16
I grinned up at Elizabeth as she ran up, scooping me out of Ezio's arms and into her own. "Ohhh Hoshi! I love it when you sing!" Elizabeth squealed out as she rubbed her cheek against my own, a larger grin on my sister's face as I couldn't help but laugh. I looked to see Claudia teary eyed as well as Maria, Roy looking a little depressed and Ezio smiling softly at me. I smiled then blushed a bit when everyone broke out into applause, even Mario who had heard me outside Ezio's room. Mario who was walking in was clapping and praising me up. "Can you teach me to sing like that Hoshi?" Claudia asked, kind of hopeful before Elizabeth replied back with a "Nobody can sing like MY little sister! She's a one of a kind girl!" As Elizabeth put me on her shoulders, strutting around and showing me off like I was a trophy, I let out a squeal as Elizabeth jumped out of Ezio's room...through his window. Elizabeth was able to duck but I wasn't. THUD! Was all that was heard as my head collided harshly with the window frame at the top, forget knocking me out, I think my brain shifted. Elizabeth noticed how I suddenly went limp. When she slid me off her shoulders she saw the large red mark that formed on my forehead, along with a large bump that was painful to even the wind gently blowing on it. I was out cold.
"Oh shit! Did I kill her?" was all that was heard from Elizabeth as I lay motionless on the ground, a splitting headache, literally. Roy cracked up laughing as he fell on his ass in historical laughter "Oh shit Hoshi! You got it good that time! Liza that was worse that the time I fucked her up!" Roy roared with laughter, holding onto his sides as they began to ache. Elizabeth's right eye twitched in annoyance as she pulled off her shoe and bang Roy was smacked in the face with her shoe. After the shoe fell from his face, the imprint of her foot was there along with a red mark as Roy fell onto his back, clutching his face and giving loud curses and wails of death threats. Ezio just smirked and walked out to check on me.
"How's she doing? That thud was pretty hard...that was the worst smack I ever heard in my life..." Ezio said, kneeling down to me as he looked a little saddened. "And she was just after waking up to...Elizabeth you're a moron!" Ezio mentally scolded, sending glaring daggers to Elizabeth's back. "You could have killed her with that stunt your fucking bi-" Ezio's thoughts were cut off by me letting out a slight groan and curling into a slight ball on my side, the side that Ezio was on. Ezio frowned slightly as he seen the pained expression on my face before my eyes opened, whimpering a bit. "Owww..." I whined as I gently rubbed my forehead, it glowing a soft baby pink and began to heal already. "Thank God, you're awake Hoshi..." Ezio said softly, hoping for no one to hear but I had, a soft smile going on my lips. "...Worried...were...you...Ezio...?..." I slowly began getting up, groaning a bit as it felt like the world was spinning. I placed my head in my hands, letting out a shaky breath as my vision flashed red then normal again. My breath got caught in my throat "What was that?" I thought, getting worried. "I-I need to get out of here..." I mumbled, slowly standing up. "Get out of here? Why?" Ezio asked, a little surprised and shocked. "I-I just do...Ezio...Can you help me...?" I asked, again mumbling.
"Of course I will Hoshi...You know I will..." Ezio said softly, wrapping his arms around me. "...I always will..." Ezio said softer this time for only me to hear as my eyes widened slightly. "But-" I was cut off by Ezio's index finger to my lips. "I will explain in time, mia tesora (my treasure), mia tesoro... (My sweetheart)" Ezio said softly which caused me to blush softly. "What does he mean by those? His treasure...His sweetheart...? Is he admitting something there...?" I thought as I looked up and into his soft and caring brown eyes. "Grazie, mia assassini (thank you, my assassin)" I said softly back to him, smiling up at him. "Shall we be going now Ezio...?" I asked as Elizabeth looked at us confused as she didn't speak Italian. "Let's pack, eat and rest first...We leave tomorrow okay?" Ezio said, I nodded in agreement.
