Assassin's Creed: Secrets

Chapter 15

After a while I finally lost the guards by jumping off the carriage into some bushes which ended up tearing the dress I was wearing. I then began my walk back to my art studio not wanting to walk around at night with a torn dress. I avoided most people but had a few problems with guards that wouldn't leave me alone but now they'll leave everyone alone, for good.

I slipped inside my art shop and pulled off my now bloody wrist blades tossing them onto the table. I then took off the rest of the tattered dress before changing back into my regular dress which was a simple green dress. But just before I grabbed the dress in the back room I felt someone grab me from behind. I quickly reacted by elbowing the person multiple times in the stomach making him make a choking sound.

"M-Mon amour, calm down its just me!" I heard Arno's voice from behind me and quickly turned around grabbing my blanket to cover me. He was now sitting back on the floor holding his stomach.

"Arno? God you scared me! Don't do that!" I yelled at him since when he hugged me I was naked and now only have a blanket covering me.

"Désolé mon amour, you just looked so good I couldn't help myself." Arno smirked while stilling having a hand on his stomach before looking a bit more seriously at me. "Where were you during the mission?"

I paused then looked away holding the blanket closer to me. "First you flirt and then you interrogate. Not really yo-"

"I'm being serious Lilly. If the head of the assassins knew about this...I don't know what they would do. So tell me where you were?" He questioned with a serious tone staring into my eyes.

"I'll be fine and they won't know. A guard came to me, he used to work for my father and recognized me, he told me I could see my dad. He's still alive Arno." I said softly looking down at first and sighed before smiling. When I looked to Arno he frowned and leaned back in the chair.

I then explained everything else that happened and somewhere in the middle when I mentioned Dimitri, he quickly stood up and began pacing and cursing with his arm crossed and a scowl on his face. "That-that THING better not have touched you or so help me I will kill him!" He said angrily when I finished.

I sighed and shook my head before going into the back room with Arno close behind me. I was going to change into the dress before he hugged me from behind again and pulled me onto the bed with him. "Arno I still have to change." I whined trying to wiggle out of his arms.

"No, I like it much better like this." He flirted and kissed my neck softly before biting it making my cheeks warm up. Before he began to kiss my neck and shoulder more.

"Alright maybe I can stay like this." I said facing toward him as I kissed his lips gently.

That night was nice and warm it felt so good. Being with Arno is all I need to calm down. He's amazing.
