Assassin's Creed: Secrets

Chapter 8

I noticed that after I asked my previous question Arno tensed and took a deep intake of air. "I will tell you but you have to promise to not speak until I've explained. Since I fear that if you speak before hand you'll hate me for what I have done." He said softly looking into my eyes.

I nodded in reply pecking his lips lightly before he gripped both my hands on his. "Before the party I tried to find a way around it but the others came to the decision that we were running out of time and the deed had to be done." Arno said softly and his eyes went from calm to having hints of guilt.

"What do you mean? What deed?" I asked looking at him as I felt my heat rate quicken a bit. Arno sighed lightly leaning away from me but was still holding my hands tightly in his grip.

"I'm sorry but what's done is done. I wish there could have been another way. But your father and aunt are dead..." He said and I froze for a moment before a wave of emotions hit me as my mind began to process what he meant. Anger, sadness, confusion, numbness; were all coursing through me as it became hard to breath and tears began to brim in my eyes before quickly spilling out of them as I began to sob.

"Yep. Me and your lover boy, pisspot, killed the both of them. But it was for a good cause. They were planning to exterminate the assassin's and we couldn't have that now could we?" Pierre's voice came from behind me which only made me sob harder.

"Pierre now is not the time! Go!" Arno shouted next to my ear obviously yelling at Pierre who scoffed a bit throwing a few curse words at Arno before strolling out of the room.

"H-how could you? Th-They were my family! You murdered them! They d-didn't do a-anything wrong!" I managed to yell at Arno through my sobs. My eyes were stinging and I couldn't see so I just buried my face in my hands not wanting to look at Arno or anything.

Arno stayed silent as he pulled me into an embrace which I only responded to by trying to shove him away from me. "DON'T TOUCH ME! HOW COULD YOU I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!" I screamed which made my throat hurt but Arno still wouldn't let go even though I was struggling against him.

"Lilliana, I love you more than anything else in the world...if there had been another option I would have taken it...please forgive me mon amour..." Arno said softly in a soothing way he would always speak when I would cry.

I continued to sob but stopped struggling knowing it was useless since he was hugging me so tightly and I was feeling light headed from hyperventilating and sobbing too much. I hugged Arno tightly with my face in his chest dampening his blue assassin's outfit.

"Th-they were all I-I had left...I d-don't want to be alone...I don't know what to do..." I said softly between sobbing breaths and Arno lifted my chin making me look into his eyes as he laid me down on my back and he held himself above me with his arms on either side of my head.

"That's not true. I'm your family and you're not alone I'm right here with you. I'll never leave you. Vous êtes mon seul et unique. Je te aime. Se il vous plaît pardonnez-moi, Lilliana." Arno whispered softly before down and kissing me deeply.

With each kiss and each touch I began to calm down and gently kisses him back with him still hovering over me holding up his weight with his arms. "Je te aime, Arno..." I whispered softly before he hugged me tightly and kissed me deeply.

Through the night we shared sweet words and soft touches with each passing minute pleasuring more and more.

I will love you forever and always, Arno.

{Vous êtes mon seul et unique. Je te aime. Se il vous plaît pardonnez-moi, Lilliana. = You are my one and only. I love you. Please forgive me.}
