Hello my lovelies, I thank you for the reviews and now I shall reward you with chapter 12 enjoy!
The next day Connor had to leave for something important which left me alone and utterly bored. Achilles wouldn't let me hunt or train because I was still healing and I would always protest but he got the best of me. After I asked him I gave up and walked around Connors room but did not dare to go through his things so after walking around in pointless circles I find a journal on the floor near a desk, but I kept saying to my self, "No kateye no bad kateye." But it was too late I found my self picking it up.
As I look through the pages I see something that catches my eye something Connor had wrote, "On this land I am torn. Part of me wants to fight and repel all outsiders. The other part of me is the outsider." I flip through and find another, "The others in the village- they thought this was something I wanted. Something I chose to do. But it never felt that way to me. No, it was not a choice. It was an obligation." I knew Connor was a native but why did he want to do this. I set the book down and went downstairs to see Achilles mumbling to himself about something I walked over to him, "Achilles remember when you said you had those robes for me."
The old man raised a grey eye brow, "Yes."
I batted my eyes and smiled, "Can I see them please."
The old man frowned and sighed, "Very well only if you stop looking at me like that."
I yipped with glee and followed Achilles. We went down into the basement were memories poured into my head of when Connor tied me up the first time we met. I tried to help Achilles down the steps but he swatted my hand away and continued down clumsily. I quietly follow Achilles and keep my head down but I bumped into to him and looked up to see a mannequin covered by a white cloth. Achilles pulls it off revealing a black robe with grey fur inside and an assassin belt that confused me since I wasn't an official assassin but I look in awe and see Achilles smiling, "Achilles its beautiful but why give me an assassin robe I'm not an assassin."
The old man chuckled and pulled out a box, "Well since I've seen you pull through life and death I've decided to welcome you into the brother hood" he opens the box and reveals two hidden blades, "Congratulations Kateye."
I am speechless and Achilles exits the room leaving me in shock, "Just like mother an assassin heh." I put on the robe that was surprisingly fitting to my figure and not to mention comfy then I put on my hidden blades and unsheathe them looking at the reflection of my eyes from the blade.
Later Connor had came back looking somewhat eager and anxious but I was always happy to see him. I walked to Achilles and showed him how I look an his response was a big smile but Connor quickly got his attention, "Achilles we need to talk." The old man nodded and Connor kissed me lightly an told me to go up stairs and of course I did as told.
After a while I decided to take a nap but was woken up by shouting and Connor entering his room in utter anger, "What the hell!" I yell from being startled.
Connor grabs a bed mat, "We are leaving."
Before I could say anything Achilles said something, "The assassins are supposed to be secretive Connor."
I started down stairs to ask Achilles what was going on, "What the hell is going on?"
Achilles frowns, "Connor wants to tell Washington of the Templers plot against him but it would only endanger him more and the lives of his men."
Connor storms out of his room and shouts, "You are the blame for failing the brotherhood for allowing the Templers to dominate the colonies!"
At that I could see the hurt in Achilles eyes but he wanted the last words, "You'll just lead the people to ruin."
Connor stormed past me and Achilles out the door, "I'll make sure he doesn't do anything misguided." I ran outside to Connor.
Connor began to calm down with time which gave me a chance to talk to him without provoking him, "We should make a camp." Connor nodded.
Despite the snow and such it was quite relaxing by the fire. Connor had came back from hunting looking exhausted, "Connor why don't you rest I'll hunt tomorrow morning." We curled up on the bed mat with Connor putting a protective arm around my waist .
