The first thing I thought when a woke up was that I didn't remember the hooded rescuers from my history classes. The second thing, was Where am I? I was no longer in the Animus and from the looks of things I hadn't been in it for a while. Yet...what I was experiencing...was no dream. It was like...being in the Animus, without the Animus. I looked around and took in my surroundings. I was in a hospital, there was no one in the room but me. This was surprising because I figured my parents would want to be in here with me in an emergency situation. Suddenly, two men and a nurse entered the room. Both wore shades and suits with the Aberstergo logo on them.
"Ah! Your awake!" said the nurse, obviously surprised.
"What happened?" I asked, confused.
"Your mother brought you here after you passed out in the Animus," she replied, "you were in a coma."
Taken aback by this, I remained silent for a few seconds, and then I spoke again.
"That's why you've got the guys from Aberstergo in here?"
"Yes," the nurse replied, "no one knows their technology better than them, your parents had to exit the room because high up Aberstergo agents aren't supposed to be seen by anyone."
"Well you're someone," I said.
Instantly one of the Aberstergo men pulled out a silenced pistol. They shot the nurse lightning fast and then turned the gun on me, causing me to back up rapidly in my bed.
"I kind of figured that was good timing to kill her," he stated mockingly.
"Please don't kill me, please..." I begged.
Fear had gripped me at this point. I tried to figure out how to escape this situation, but there was no way. I felt like my ancestor, trapped between those men and the creek. Actually, exactly the same. Almost as if I had the same background as him. Like I could run like him, just like him, the feeling was strange, it was like my history and his were becoming the same.
"Kid, listen here, we need you to come with us," one of the men said, " I'm Winston, and you are experiencing side effects of the Animus."
"Oh in that case, sure!," I lied as I cautiously made my way to the door, "I'll come!"
"Really? That was surprisingly easy!" said Winston, "now try to stick with us and-"
I ran out the door, weaving between medicine carts and going around hospital help desks, but when I looked back to see how fast my pursuers were going , and I was terrified by what I saw. The Aberstergo agents were flipping over the carts and help desks, effortlessly catching up to me. Eventually I reached an open window. I turned my back to the window and stared at the agents charging towards me. I shut my eyes. Instantly I was Levi again.
