A/N: Remember how I said that Keira was going to have a small part in the Battle of Lexington? Well, I changed my mind. Now mind you that I haven't played The DlC for Liberation but I read up on the plot and saw that she does go to a ball and I liked the idea of Keira doing something like that. So enjoy this because there will be a big reveal at the end (though you guys know it already) also there is a poll on my profile regarding this story's sequel. Please go vote! And I loves the song I used. This is one of the versions anyway enjoy!

"Sam has sent word about a masquerade ball with the man who is keeping tabs on me. I am going to go see him about it." I told Achilles as I was petting Hunter.
"Be safe, I would tell you to take Connor with you but he is needed here." Achilles told me. I gave Achilles a hug before I left.
"Be safe." He smiled.
"I will." I smiled before I exited the homestead. I walked up to my horse but I was greeted by Connor.
"Where are you going?" He asked me.
"I am going to meet with Sam to talk about something." I told him as I mounted on Patches.
"I could of brought you if you wanted." He told me.
"I am fine on my own Connor. You do not need to worry." I reassured him before I was off.

As I arrived I was greeted by Sam and some of his friends.
"Hello Kiera and I am sorry for such short notice." He greeted.
"It's fine Sam, so where am I going?" I asked him.
"A plantation house in New York." He smiled at me as he brought me inside to get fitted for my masquerade costume.
"So you are just waiting for the red coats to search your home to prove you have nothing to hide?" I asked him as he nodded.
"So when will I be going?" I asked him.
"Tomorrow morning." He told me.
"A carriage is all set then?" I asked him before he nodded. Then there was a knock on the door. Sam and the others went to go answer it and I wasn't far behind.
"They plan to kill you." I heard Connor say.
"Connor what are you doing here?" I asked him. He pushed past Sam and looked at me, though he paused before he spoke.
"Why are you dressed up?" He asked me.
"I have to go do something for Sam. I won't be long." I smiled at him, "what are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I came to warn Sam about the red coats. You should get out of here too." He told me.
"I will. Is there going to be a war?" I asked.
"I am going after John Pitcairn. I am only helping Paul Revere warn everyone." He told me, which meant that there was going to be a war.
"If there is going to be a war then I am going to go." I told him as I saw Connor's expression change.
"No, I will not have you go and hurt yourself." He looked down at me.
"I don't care about the risks Connor, I want to help. I know Pitcairn is next on the list. I want to help." I looked at him as I furrowed my brows.
"What about going to the party?" Sam questioned.
"That will have to wait for another time." I sighed before I looked at Connor, who was being stubborn again.
"I will not bring you into a war where there is a possibility of you getting hurt." He looked at me.
"I don't care." I folded my arms as the lady was fishing the adjustments. "I will take this and have Ellen finish this when I get back to the homestead." I smiled at the lady as I went to go change. When I was changed Samuel prepared the dress to be transported to Ellen's house on the homestead. I sent her a little note before I left on Patches to the homestead, though I was accompanied by Connor so I wouldn't follow him.
"Are you going to tie me up too?" I asked him as we were riding.
"I do not wish to have you injured." He looked at me.
"I've been injured before." I told him as we approached the homestead.

I dismounted off of Patches and went straight to Achilles with Hunter following of course.
"I wish to help Connor but he refuses my help." I looked to Achilles as he looked confused.
"But what about the masquerade ball? The man who is following you will be there." He looked to me.
"That can wait, he can't do this on his own." I looked to Achilles.
"You two won't always be able to go together on missions that need to be done. This time you need to go and get rid of him before you face the same fate as your mother. I advise you to go to this ball and come back once you are finished. Connor will be fine on his own. Be careful while you are there. I do ask you take on the name Emily Davenport to avoid detection. You can tell whatever story you come up with, just be safe." He lectured me.
"I will Achilles, but I wish for Connors safety while I am away." I smiled before I headed up stairs to my room to get some rest for the next morning.

I awoke early the next morning so I could get ready and tell Connor to be safe. I entered the carriage as I told the carriage to go to Lexington before we went of to New York.

Once we arrived I got out of the carriage and went up to Connor, who looked angry that I was here.
"I told you not to come here." He hissed. I held up my hand before he continued.
"I am her to tell you to be safe, I have things that I need to attend to. I will see you when I am through with what I need to do." I smiled at him before I went into the carriage.
"Kiera," he called I stuck my head out of the carriage and looked at Connor,"be safe." He nodded.
"How many times have I told you that I am capable of taking care if myself?" I laughed as I sat back and waited to arrive at the ball.

Once we arrived in New York the carriage stopped so I could get dressed to arrive to the ball. My dress was blue with trims. I put on the matching mask and got back in the carriage. "Once I am finished here please take me to Philadelphia, Sam will be there ." I requested of the driver when we arrived. He nodded as the carriage stopped. I looked at the house before me, somewhere William Smith was here and I had to kill him. I exited the carriage to be greeted by a man.
"How nice of you to come Miss," he paused
"Emily Davenport." I curtsied.
"It is my pleasure." He bowed before he escorted me to the party.
"So I heard the host is very handsome." I mentioned to my escort.
"William Smith? Yes he is, I suppose you will be many of the eager ladies wanting a dance with him." He smiled at me.
"Would that be too much to ask?" I asked my escort.
"Not at all, I will let William know at once." He nodded before he went off to go tell William. I went off to the side and waited for William to approach me.
"Hello Ms. Davenport, I've heard that you sent your request to dance with me." He greeted.
"I must admit that I am guilty for that request. What I hear is true." I stated.
"And what is that?" He questioned.
"That you are handsome." I looked down trying to act bashful. I heard him let out a small laugh as he asked me to dance. I agreed.

"This is a magnificent place to be holding a party." I smiled at him.
"It is my fathers house that I will be inheriting once he has passed." He smiled at me.
"Would it be too bold if I ask for a tour around the land?" I asked him.
"Not at all, follow me." He smiled as he took my hand as we were going to the garden that was by the maze.
"My mother tends to this garden still." He stated, "What is your favourite flower?" He asked me as I looked at the roses. "I have always enjoyed roses. My hair is as red as one." I answered him as I turned to him to see that he was holding his sword.
"Not many girls have red hair as beautiful as yours." He looked at me.
"I inherited it from my grandmother, my mother had brown hair." I told him as I moved closer to him.
"Why is your hand on your sword? Is there someone who will harm you?" I asked him as I grabbed his hand.
"Oh I thought that you were someone else." He said softly as he pulled me closer to him.
"Why would I want to harm someone as handsome as you?" I asked him as I pressed myself against him. He moved his face closer to mine as I moved my other hand up to his neck. He lowered his head and kissed me, though I had to kiss back as I stabbed him in the stomach. He stepped back and looked at me.
"I'm sorry but I have to. My father can't get a hold of me." I looked down at him. I saw him spit some blood at me.
"I will get you." He glared at me before I stabbed him once more.
"I doubt that." I told him before I snuck off to the carriage. We left for Philadelphia immediately.

Once we arrived it was almost early morning. I walked into an inn and requested a room. I got undressed and went to bed. I awoke as it was late morning and dressed in a green dress that Ellen made for me. I had set the carriage to Davenport to return my things but I tipped the driver as he was driving me all over.

Once I arrived at the state house I went inside. There was another room where there was speaking.
"I'm sorry but no ladies beyond this point." A man said.
"I have to see Sam Adams, it's urgent. My name is Keira." I looked to the man. He then stepped aside as I walked in. The guy in the front was still talking but as I was making my way to Sam Adams but I was blocked by Charles Lee.
"Ah, I haven't seen you in ages. How are you Kiera?" Charles asked.
"What does it matter to you." I crossed my arms.
"You did call me Uncle Charles." He looked at me, "You look just like your mother." He complimented.
"Flattery will get you no where Charles. My mother is dead because of your ungrateful pig." I hissed as I tried to walk by him before he grabbed my arm.
"Watch your tongue or I will cut it out myself. Do you have any words for your father?" He asked me.
"That he will get his." I looked him in the eye before I pulled away to meet Connor's angry gaze.
"How do you know Charles Lee?" He asked me.
"I have no time for this now." I looked at him as I went to Sam Adams.
"It is done. He will not bother me anymore." I told him.
"Good." He nodded before Connor came and stood in front of me.
"How do you know Charles Lee?" He asked me.
"Now is not the time." I looked to Connor.
"Are you working with him? Telling him the plans I make?" He asked me a bit hostile. I felt hurt by his words, I thought Connor trusted me, I trusted him. I was thinking about telling him about my father soon but now I wasn't so sure.
"Why would I do such a thing? Do not make assumptions to things you don't know the whole story to." I hissed at him before I turned to him and started to leave.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"Home." I walked away off to go to Davenport.

When I was home I was out on my porch all day. I was sitting there with hunter while singing Barbara Allen,
"

"Was in the merry month of May
When flowers were a bloomin',
Sweet William on his death-bed lay For the love of Barbara Allen.

Slowly, slowly she got up,
And slowly she went nigh him,
And all she said when she got there,
"Young man, I think you're dying."

"O yes, I'm sick and very low,
And death is on me dwellin',
No better shall I ever be
If I don't get Barbara Allen."

"Don't you remember the other day
When you were in the tavern,
I toasted all the ladies there
And slighted Barbara Allen?"

"O yes, I remember the other day
When we were in the Tavern,
I toasted all the ladies there,
Gave my love to Barbara Allen."

He turned his pale face to the wall,
And death was on him dwellin'.
"Adieu, Adieu, my kind friends all,
Be kind to Barbara Allen."

As she was walkin' through the fields,
She heard the death bells knelling,
And every toll they seemed to say,
"Hard-hearted Barbara Allen."

She looked east, she looked west,
She saw his corpse a-comin'.
"Lay down, lay down the corpse," she said,
"And let me gaze upon him."

"O mother, mother, make my bed,
O make it long and narrow,
Sweet William died for me today,
I'll die for him tomorrow."

Sweet William died on a Saturday night,
And Barbara died on Sunday,
Her mother died for the love of both,
And was buried Easter Monday.

They buried Willie in the old church yard,
And Barbara there anigh him,
And out of his grave grew a red, red rose,
And out of hers, a briar.

They grew and grew in the old churchyard,
Till they couldn't grow no higher,
They lapped and tied in a true love's knot.
The rose ran around the briar."
"What song was that?" I heard Connor ask.
"Barbara Allen, it's a song my mother gave to me." I told him softly.
"I am sorry about what happened." He apologised.
"Did you kill Pitcairn?" I asked as I changed the subject.
"I did but why do you know Charles Lee?" He asked me.
"When you meet people, you never know their past but us Connor, we are the same yet so different." I told him as I looked down.
"How?" He asked.
"My mother moved here from Ireland.
She met a man one day and they fell in love, or so she thought. Though they never married they had a child,me, and I visited him and his friends and the Silver Dragon whenever she could get a chance to see her father. I never knew what they did there but I had fun when I saw my father. I loved parents so much until my mother found out what my father really was. She rebelled and died because of it. My father killed my mother and I had sworn revenge on him. My father is Thomas Hickey and I called Charles Lee and every other Templar Uncle, including your father." I told him as I was angry with my father.
"We will kill Hickey for your mother." Connor told me as he put his hand on mine. I looked up at him and smiled.
"Thank you." I softly told him as I held his hand, though I felt this weird feeling in my stomach. It was like I had swallowed butterflies.
"That song and this necklace is all I have of her." I told him as I revealed the necklace that I always wore in secret. "I had to take care of a guy who was following me. That is why I went to New York and why the Red Coats are after me." I confessed.
"What does your father wish to do with you?" He asked me.
"I do not know but that worries me." I looked to him.
"We will stop Thomas Hickey, I promise you that he will not lay a finger on you." He promised. I instantly hugged him. He was startled at first but hugged back, his heart beat was racing as I felt mine. This feeling was weird but I liked it. I liked it a lot. I let go and looked at Connor, "I should get to bed." I smiled before he nodded as walked out of my room. I smiled as I called Hunter into my room. I got undressed and went to bed, feeling at bliss.
