Then the Cabin began to shake. Someone had landed on top of the trains. Evie remained completely calm. I however did not. My breathing started to increase and i looked over at Evie for help. Her eyes stayed staring at the ceiling of the train. She spoke to me in a low voice
"Prepare yourself"
I did as i was told and got up from the bed. I hid behind it. Evie stood up and walked over to the window, she looked like she was about to jump out and get onto the roof when the guy jumped down to join us in our cabin. He was wearing red. He had black hair and was holding a knife and had a gun in his back pocket. Evie's gun was behind her on the table next to me, however she did have a knife. She didn't need any weapon at all.

The guy charged at her. Holding his knife in front of him. Evie grabbed his hand with the knife in it and twisted it making it sprain. She then grabbed the knife out of his hand and broke that arm in the process. She then pulled him towards her and popped out his shoulder blade making him wince in pain. As soon as she had done this she reached around him and yanked the gun from his pocket, she chucked it behind her landing in my hands. Good throw. Then she got the knife and stabbed him in the chest, this made him weaker but he could still fight back however he couldn't be as accurate. She then grabbed his arm and smashed his head against her leg making him more out of action. Finally she stabbed him in the chest again and finished him off by cutting his throat. He collapsed onto the floor. She looted his dead body and placed his knife onto the same table her gun was on. It was covered in blood. She picked up her gun and placed it into her pocket. And then she looked at me. I was amazed, impressed but mostly scared of her after all of that. She was so good. Better than Jacob. Didn't want to get on her bad side. She laughed at me.
"god you are just like Jacob"
"what's that supposed to mean?"
"You are a right tit"
"right. Thank you"
"my pleasure. Now i have things to do so i will see you around."
"yeah, urm bye"
Damn. Those twins were epic. They were both as amazing as each other, but of corse i loved Jacob in a different way to how i see her. I looked at the dead man's gun. Would she mind if i took it? I really needed it now after all i was some sort of target. Roth definitely wants me dead.

I picked up the gun. I stood up shakily because i was still a little traumatised after what i had experienced. I decided to have a look around the train. It looked really nice. The cabin i was in was not full of much stuff. Just a table and chair and a bed pushed into the side of the wall. There was some decorations. I went into the next cabin. There was a rook in there, This cabin had a map in it and a safe on the floor. There was a table next to it full of all information that was needed about the Templars. On the other wall there was this board that had loads of pictures of Templars on it, some had crosses on them but they all had a red string that led to the main picture. The big picture. Someone i didn't recognise. I wasn't surprised. It was interesting in here. I really wanted to be a assassin. The rooks were so kind. They welcomed me. Evie and Jacob trusted me. They let me into their Creed. Something about that made me feel this warm feeling placed inside my stomach. I decided to have a look at the next Cabin, in there was a shop. Filled with all the essentials Jacob or Evie or anyone on the train needed; throwing knifes, bombs, medical kits, bullets etc. This was a really good place for the Rooks. And i was glad to be let into it. I really wanted to go and find out where Jacob was but i knew there was no way i'd find him because i didn't know where he went. I decided the best thing to do was go back to bed and wait for him to return. He would right? Hopefully. But then i remembered i promised my auntie lunch at 12pm. Right now it was 10:30am, well i had a lot of time before i had to set off to Lambeth so i relaxed.

I picked up the newspaper sat on the table next to me. I opened the pages and read the first page. It was talking about the fumes in the air, not a surprise. I flicked the page over, it was Maxwell Roth. He looked really cool in that black and white image walking into this hall. The name on the newspaper was "The BIG act!" oh my god. I needed to go find him. I stood up off the bed and looked out the window. The train was still moving. I needed to get off, shit. I looked at the picture again. It looked like it was in the Alhambra Music Hall i knew where that was. All i had to do was get there. I jumped off the train when it was out of any tunnels and waited for it to pass. Then i ran down the side of the track until i got to a station. I jumped onto the side and headed down the stairs, then i found an empty horse and cart and jumped on. It didn't take long for me to find the hall. I found a way inside and looked down over this balcony, i saw Maxwell Roth. He was giving an act, then he came onto the stage and took off his mask. Then Roth spoke again. He said the words "I hope you have enjoyed your evening so far, Ladies and Gentle men. I know i have." He raised a cup. "Now before our final Act. I would like to toast all you brave people who joined us tonight to celebrate life.." He paused before saying ".. And death"
He looked back at the two blighters behind him holding torches each. "GO ON, TOAST THEM!" The place lit up in flames. I watched in horror as the people below began to scream.
He laughed and said "Your move now Jacob my dear." Roth laughed hysterically and grimly shouted "BURN BURN BURN!" I couldn't see Jacob anywhere. All i could see was Roth on the stage, amongst the fire shouting
"Come out come out wherever you are" I started to panic more. What was i going to do? I stood there. Helplessly. Roth shouted again. "Join me for the finale!" He was obsessed with him. "Don't hide from me darling. Jacob my dear, where areeee youuuu?" i wanted to leave. Suddenly i spotted him, Jacob, he was climbing up the walls until eventually he was above Roth. Jacob jumped and landed on top of Roth. He held his dagger to Roth's throat. He couldn't bring himself to kill him. Then they started talking to each other, i couldn't hear them from were i was standing, especially because of the fire. But it looked like Jacob wasn't happy at all. He was speaking with anger, and Roth was laughing and smiling. Then he asked Roth a question, i could make out the words "why did you do it? All of it?"
"what? Snap a baby crows neck between my thumb and forefinger? SLICE to bits the ones you deem innocent? Keep the world at its divine manic state? For the same reason i do anything." There was a pause before he grabbed Jacob and pulled him towards him making their lips touch. After a few seconds Jacob pulled away in shock. Then Roth spoke again,
"Why not?" Then laughed. Jacob stood up in horror. He didn't know what to do for a second. He didn't kill him. He picked up Roth and threw him over his shoulder. However then he looked up at me. His face was filled with more horror.
"JAMES! WHAT ON EARTH" He ran up the stairs dodging burning pieces of wood until he got to me standing there like an idiot. He grabbed me and ran to an exit. Once we were out he placed Roth on the floor.
"You IDIOT"
"I was worried Jacob"
"BULLSHIT! DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!"
"OK." I felt like a fool. Such a damn fool. I stood up and walked backwards a few steps giving Jacob space. He just grunted angrily. It was now 11:40am. I needed to meet with my Auntie soon but i didn't want to just leave now. Roth was on the floor sputtering. Why didn't Jacob kill him? Roth tried to kill all those people. Yet Jacob couldn't bring himself to do it?

Jacob turned to me and said "calmly"
"go and see your Auntie. NOW."
"but how did you-"
"doesn't matter about that just go James."
"oh-ok" I was slightly freaked out. How did he know about that? But the weirdest thing was, Roth kissed Jacob. Was Roth in love with him? Perhaps he kissed him to help Jacob figure things out? I don't know. All i know is that my aunt will not be happy if i'm late. That kiss was so ambiguous.

I looked behind me again to see Jacob with his head in his hands. He knelt down next to Roth. God i hate myself so much. From now on i needed to stop messing around. I needed to be more mature. I got on the train again and stared at London. What was i doing with myself. When i got to my Auntie she was sat at a table outside, she was eating. I walked up slowly and said
"Hey Auntie Violet"
"oh hello there James! Good to see you! Sit down have a seat!"
I sat down opposite her. She looked a stunning as always. She never looked a mess like me.
"So James, what have you been up to?
"just fighting and working."
"fighting? Dear me."
"i know."
"well if that's what you like dear"
"i'm not sure what i like anymore"
"oh dear. Well maybe i can help?"
"that's very kind of you but it's ok."
We talked for another hour before eventually she had to leave. Now i was sat alone and didn't know what to do. I wanted to leave Jacob alone to himself. I walked back to my house. I got to my bedroom. I got out my Notepad and started writing down notes, i wrote down things for me to do. First of all i was going to go and find Greenie, and ask him if i could borrow some weapons of his. Then i would go to the shops and collect bullets and other stuff.

Jacob would be prouder of me then. Although i think he had feelings for this Templar guy. I needed to get an outfit, i could go and talk to Evie about that. She can help. Hopefully.
