Beauty and the Assassin

Sequence 11

Belle's heart beat accelerated worry creeping up her spine and panic beginning to show on the young woman's feature she could only stare and walk slowly and steadily through the disaster she called home as Y/n stayed close on her heels looking around the living room and spotting foot prints by the closet with his sharp vision and squatted to get a better look yep foot prints it looks to have been at least six or seven men.
"It looks to have been a struggle in this area" You said softly not wanting to rile the poor girl any more then possible.
She paced her way over to the spot you were squatting and could see mud and a bit of ripped clothing.
"It seems that a group of men have taken him" You said as you turned your gaze back to the staggering woman you could see the obvious panic in her eyes in a span of a few days she was kidnapped, nearly raped and now her father was missing, poor girl was going through quite the storm.
"Why would someone kidnap my father, he's just an inventor he's harmless, it makes no sense" said the young Frenchwoman
"I agree, let's go around town and see what information we can find"
Belle nodded her head in agreement as she briefly search around for something a few moments later she found her favorite book she had been reading and held it in her arms the book had a significant memory for it was her father to read it to her first after that she fell in love with the book as she followed you out the door and into the lawn staring at the well handmade water mill made by Maurice and turned to the brunette as she made her way down the steps.
"We should start with a few of your neighbors and see what they know" You said.

"Ok we should start with a woman named Amelia she's the town gossip and if anything she knows something"
You nodded your head as you both began your search.
Belle and Y/n walked deeper into town after speaking to Amelia and a few other neighbors they learned that a group of suspicious men that no one has seen before had come into town but they stayed in one spot until night by then they disappeared and that was pretty much it for the time being, Belle herself was beginning to worry even more by the minute as they walked upon the tavern.
"I just have no idea what's going on my father doesn't bother anyone so....why?"
"I don't know but we will find out soon enough" You said sounding strong and assuring.
"But from what I've gathered your father seems to be very destructive" said the Native with a slight grin trying to cheer her up it was worth a shot.
"Well um I wouldn't say destructive" she said while averting his eyes looking down.
"Belle your neighbors said he blew up two mills and set a barn on fire three times and that's in one whole week how do you explain that?" You asked her with a chuckle.
The French beauty shifted her eyes left and right before speaking "Uhh well those were all...accidents?" she said with a nervous smile and a shrug.
You shucked your head and began to walk closer to the tavern "An accident she says."
"What you don't believe me? They were accidents, Y/n!" she shouted and quickened her pace as you began to get farther ahead of her.
As the two companions came to the doors of the tavern they were already being opened and met with a small group of men exiting the tavern.
"Belle?!"
"Gaston?"
Gaston meet Belle's eyes as she met his they were a few feet from each other aside from the men that were accompanying him holding muskets along with his number one fan Lefou.
A few men stood in front of him as he stood next to an old man who seemed to be glaring at you.
"Belle where have you been you've been gone for days"
"I was...well that doesn't matter right now, Gaston my father's missing do...you know anything that happened?" she said while eyeing the men around him they all seemed to be staring at yoi.
"Yea we noticed cus nothin' be gettin' blown up recently" said Lefou with a laugh.
"Well uhh no can't I've seen anything" Gaston said with a hurried tone also chuckling at his friend's comment.
Belle's eye slightly twitched at their jokes and laughter's and especially Gaston's statement and he wasn't he looking her in the eyes he seemed to be hiding something.
"Gaston, I asked if you knew anything not seen" she said while turning her head slightly her hazel eyes locked on the large Frenchman.
Gaston chuckled nervously a bit but kept his composer as he started to smirk dashingly at her.
"Well hell hearing, seeing, knowing it's all in the same boat Belle, but no I don't know anything, but I can defiantly help my future bride search for her missing father" said the Frenchman with a cocky grin.
"Yeeea Gaston brings home the ladies" said another fan raising his ale.
Your eye slightly twitch at the man's statement was she engaged to this man and what was with the people with him and their glares it doesn't take specialized Assassin instincts to tell a fight was near.
"Gaston I told you I'm not interested how many times do I have to say it and I already have plenty of help thank you" she said while gesturing her hand to you.
Gaston looked towards the man in the white robes he wore a hood with blue lining and had what seemed like an army on his person from a mighty dangerous looking sword (Kidd's sawtooth blade) a bow and arrow and a tomahawk, he fit the description of the Assassin that Conwell said was giving the Colonial Templars great grief and had one of his superior officers searching for him he was a Native and that symbol on his belt....oh yea he was one of them first day on the job and he'd already come face to face with and Assassin.
"Belle just who the hell is this?" Gaston asked in a low voice sizing up the Native with narrow eyes.
You caught his gaze and responded with your own glare while bringing your eyes back to the old man next to him.
"This is Y/n he helped me and my father a few months ago and has come to my rescue again."
"Y/n you say ya sure it's not something unpronounceable like ogiebabadogo or dogohondarada maybe something along those lines" said Gaston grinning drawing a laugh from his fan club.
You were two seconds away from stabbing this guy in the throat and skinning him as if he was another animal but you were more mature then to lose your cool over teasing.
Belle saw the irritation in your eyes you could shut them all up by killing a man or two but she didn't want that instead she'll hit him where it hurts.
"At least his name doesn't mean pea brained isn't that right Messier LeGume I wonder what else could be pea sized on your body" said Belle with a smirk and crossing her arms the sound of 'oooohs' and laughter came from the crowed.
"Ya wanna find out" said Gaston a smile and twinkle in his eyes.
"I would rather go blind" said Belle while turning her nose in the air.
Gaston moved closer to the young woman placing his arm around her shoulder as her faced turned in disgust.
"Come on Belle you don't need a little moon dancer who probably can't even speak the kings English, you need a warrior like me" said Gaston.
"You call yourself a warrior?" You asked finally speaking up and moving closer to the Frenchman and also proving your English is just fine and dandy.
"Funny you seem like a mindless bear to me" You said.
Gaston didn't like that remark as he let go of Belle's shoulders and stepped closer to the Assassin with a frown.
"Oh? A bear you say? Well this bear can tear you to pieces little man"
You smirked and got directly into Gaston face the Frenchman had at least a few inches on him and he was a little bulker but to you that meant nothing about a man's skill.
"You wouldn't be the first bear to attempt that sadly all the ones who've tried were skinned after our little bouts" said Y
