I Don't own Assasins creed games or books.
The Barracks was secured. The men was proud of the victory over the French and was finally able to concentrate on The Borgia. Yet despite the victory some felt they lost something precious.
It was two days after the battle.
It was morning when Bart and Pat was talking to the doctor. Ezio was sitting in a spare room with you in the bed. You were asleep recovering form your injury "How could I have let this happen?" Ezio said looking at you.
Flashback
Then all of the sudden a dying Octavian weakly aim his gun to Ezio and Whispered "Die....Assassin...." BAM
"EZIO!" You said pushing Ezio out the way. The bullet went straight through your left shoulder. You fell with a thud. Ezio got up seeing you pass out from the shock. "____!" he said seeing blood oozing out of your shoulder. "Get her out of here! I'll finish up here!" Bart said.
Ezio snapped out of it and nodded. He picked you up bridal style carefully and headed back to the Barracks.
Present
Ezio was in deep in thought as he watched you.
"Why? Why am I so concerned with this girl? Every time I'm with her is like everything about me goes out the window. I can't even function! Caterina never made me feel..." He stopped when Caterina came to mind.
"If I want a future with Caterina then I can't babysit ____. As soon as she wake up I'll return to the Timber hideout. She'll be safe to recover here. I'll let Niccolo keep an eye on her when she's healed. I can't keep my promise to Leonardo to watch her anymore." He thought out loud.
He got up and stroked her cheek as she slept. He looked at your wound and sighed. He still hated the fact that he was an experienced assassin, yet you saved him instead of him protecting you which he promised Leo.
"Forgive me ____. I wish I could be stronger to handle this. Please be safe il mio amico coraggioso. I could never forgive myself if something happened to you." he whispered.
You moved a little.
" Did she hear me?" He thought.
"Ezio...look out." You moaned.
He felt extremely guilty. He was about to leave you here and you was still thinking about helping him.
He sat back down and continued to watch over you.
Pat and Bart were worried about you but Ezio never left your side.
The doctor was amazed that your injuries was healing. Since your body was from the future you can recover a lot better than people in this time. Regardless that the injury wasn't that damaging you still needed a lot of time to rest.
"Its amazing! I never seen anyone with this injury heal so quickly. Still I would recommend she stays in bed for a couple of weeks to be safe." The doctor said to Bart and Pat.
"Thank you Doctor." Pat said paying him as he left.
"She must really like Ezio in order to take a bullet for him." Bart said as he and Pat walked to your room.
"Believe me, she's more than smitten over him. Povera ragazza " She said to Bart. "Even a blind man can see how she feels." They stopped at the door to then room.
"Then Ezio must be blind as a bat! How can the ultimate ladies man can overlook a girl like ___?" Bart said confused.
Pat shook her head. "He's not sure how to react to her. He's been through a lot an-"
"She's waking up!" Ezio's voice echoed. They both quickly entered seeing you moving. You tried to moved but winced when a throbbing sharp pain shot up your left shoulder.
"Ahg! Man that hurts! What's wrong with me!?" you said grabbing your shoulder. Ezio got out of the chair and quickly went to you.
"You were shot ____. The doctor said you should be resting for a while." Ezio said making you lay back down like you were a fragile doll. Your whole left arm felt awful.
You looked to Ezio who had a very angry look on his face. Looking at your wound made the whole incident come back to him.
"___ what were you thinking?! You could have died!" Ezio snapped.
You looked at him for a moment then got angry. "And What was I supposed to do?! Let him shoot you!?"
"What type of moron jumps in front of a bullet?! The least you could have done was-"
"Ezio now is not the time for this!" Pat said. Ezio was silent for a moment then left the room without a word.
"I'll go talk to him." Bart said following him out.
Pat sighed.
"He's the most ungrateful jerk I've ever met! I Take a bullet and he gives me nothing but a hard time!! Ow!" You said massaging your shoulder.
