Freedom (Revising/Editing)

Chapter: 19 Lashing out and Forgiven

Chapter: 19

Arno's POV:

She was walking away from me quite fast as I could see she was furious at what she heard. If I hadn't cover her mouth when I did. She would have scream and protest right then and there. We would have bigger problems if she had did that. We would have tons of guards on us and not only them, but the Templars as well. I caught up to her and grab her wrist, but she pulled her wrist away from me. She turn on me as I could see the anger and betrayal in those beautiful green eyes of hers. "If it weren't for you and you're Assassins! I won't be here right now!"

I was taken back at how much rage she was showing as I could see her lip was quivering. "You made a choice..." I murmured.

"A choice that was mistakenly stupid on my part! Now, because of him I have lost everything permanently. There is no turning back for me..." She was rambling on.

I could see she was conflicted and didn't know what she wanted to think or wanted to feel. I murmured again feeling older than I am "This path that you have chosen isn't easy to follow and you will have to make some hard choices, but think of this. Do you feel more at home with us or do you feel more at home with the Templars?"

She look at me as I could see the conflicting emotions and I wanted to help her, but she has to figure this out on her own. If she wants to be our enemy then I won't stop her, but if she wants to be one of us. She will have her freedom that she always wanted, but I can only guide her. I can't force her to choose and I can't make her understand. She has to come up with these answers on her own and hopefully she will soon, but I won't push her.

I look at her as she was looking up at the sky as her face was a mixture of pain and anger, but her anger had deflated a little. I walk up to her as she look up at me as she wore a guilty look on her face. I wrap my arms around her as I felt her stiffen a little before she wrap her arms around me. I felt her burying her head into the crook of my neck and I let her as I know this is what she needed. A warm feeling was beginning to flow through me as I wasn't quite sure what it was, but it was warm.

Madeline's POV:

We walk back to the Assassin's Bureau as everything was starting to hit me hard. Was everything that I did for the Templar order for nothing? I wanted my freedom and I got it, but I'm so scared of everything that might follow afterwards. I don't know what to think about the Templar meeting and how twisted of my actions were to Nickolas. It was all because of Thomas! It was his fault and now he is going to pay for what he did! I shouldn't have said that earlier. It just came out of my mouth, but there is little truth to it. 

The Assassin's bureau does feel like my home more than the Templars did and the Assassin's are more warmer than the Templars as well. So, why do I feel so conflicted after what had happened? We arrive back at the Assassin's bureau as Arno hold the door open for me and I walk inside as he follow me inside the building. He had hug me on the rooftop and he had felt warm to me. My stomach felt all fluttery for some reason when I think about him embracing me or touching me. I shook my head as it was just me thinking imaginable things. 

He walk next to me as we were walking up the stairs and I realized that we were heading to my room. That's fine with me, because I would like to think on my own. I'm quite surprised at how much he seems to know what he wants. Could it be because of Elise? Has she said anything to him about me or my mother? Could he be the boy from when I was young at the Versailles? He looks like the boy, but my memory is a little hazy as it was hard to make out who was who. I have a feeling though that the boy that I saw. It could be him, but I'm not quite sure. 

We arrive at my room as Arno open my door and step back "Here you are, Madeline" He murmured. 

I smile kindly at him "Thank you, Arno" 

He smile back "You're welcome, Madeline" 

We look at each other, before looking away from one another and I felt shy all of sudden. I murmured "I'm sorry...I didn't mean what I said earlier" 

He look at me as I look back at him and his face had soften as he smiled again "It's okay. It's true. I know that, but I hope this experience wasn't a huge waste" 

I smile at him as I place my hand on his upper arm "No, it wasn't" 

He nodded as I slowly took my hand away from his arm to close the door "Goodnight, Madeline" 

"Goodnight, Arno" I murmured smiling before shutting the door and walking away from it. 

My heart was beating madly in my chest as my cheeks felt warm as I didn't know why. I remove all of my garments as I left my under garments on to sleep in. I pull the covers back before sliding into bed and letting out a sigh of content. The bed felt nice after a very long and hectic day. I lend roll onto my side while pulling the blanket up and cover myself up some more before I fell asleep.
