Guardian

Chapter 10 - Goodbye for now

No POV

Lynn didn't know what to do, safe her friend or leave her be. After finding out that the sword was an Assassin's sword everything looked like a joke and Dawn might as well have played her. Maybe she even did killed her uncle when they were sleeping? She couldn't tell anymore.

Ciro watched as the girl passed around the room frustrated as he leaned back against the wall letting out a sigh. It was all a mess and no one could explain what the hell was happening because nothing made sense right now. "Lynn. Stop ice bearing we gonna help your friend even if she is an Assassin." He said pushing himself up as Lynn turned around letting out a sigh herself.

"You're right." She said giving in to the boy as she walked over to the closet and grabbed Dawns armor. Ciro watched curious at why she was holding it, but soon came to realize her idea. "Turn around." The girl commanded with a very stern voice as Ciro did as told. 

Lynn slowly took each piece of armor and weapon and took off her own clothes. She looked back to check if Ciro was still turned with his back to her and seeing he was, she started putting on Dawns armor. The tunic fitted easily but the sleeves had to be rolled up a bit, next were the armor pieces which slides with ease on her arms, legs and chest.  After attaching every weapon in it's place Lynn looked in the mirror amazed at how fighting armor still looked so good.

Clearing her throat she looked back at Ciro who was still in the same position as she asked him to stand in. "You can turn around." She said this time her voice not didn't make it sound like a command. She placed the hood on and as soon as Ciro turned around and his eyes widened she smirked. 

"You look great in it!" The boy said in utter shock. Even if it was the enemies armor and weapons they suited Lynn well as they made sure to cover her weak spots and hold the weapons efficiently. The running boots sure made it look like she could easily run away from anyone right now. "Can you move well?" He asked her curiously.

Lynn slowly walked as the weight wasn't beating her down, it was there but not as heavy as it should be. Next thing she tried to jump on her bed, it wasn't a perfect jump but she was able to move in it without a problem. "It seems like it. Now let's go see how Dawn is doing." She said getting back of her bed and walking towards the door.

Ciro quickly grabbed her hand stopping her from opening the door. "Are you crazy?! They won't let you go outside and sure not like this." He scolded at her. 

"You're right....but how do we get out then?" Lynn asked taking her hand away from the doorknob looking around her enormous bedroom. "The chimney?" She asked a bit feeling uneasy about the idea while looking at the small fireplace against the wall.

Instead of looking at the fireplace Ciro looked at the window that lead into the back yard. "I'm not sure about you, but I want to go this way." Ciro said awkwardly walking towards the window opening it and looking outside. There were a couple of guards wandering  around the wall inside the yard, but nothing they couldn't handle. "Stay close and follow my lead." He said, Lynn nodded in response.

He climbed over the window frame and jumped to the roof of the balcony with the giant ball room. He made sure that the jumps were possible for Lynn as he watched her do the same. Ciro was glad that she finally was fully capable of free running, but still worried she might fall when he isn't there to help her. They have known each other for years and he knew everything there was to know about her, of course they weren't allowed to show much of their friendship. Other guards and Lynn her family would take it wrong and Luciano would command some guards to give Ciro a beat up, which had happened in the pas quite often.

Looking down he saw that no one was on the balcony so he lowered himself swinging onto the platform. Lynn carefully followed him still getting used to the armor and numerous weapons equipped to it. She was still fighting the possibility of Dawn being a liar or maybe even her worst enemy. The fact her uncle was murdered when Dawn was there made her more nervous, but still there was this other feeling making her believe that Dawn had done nothing and that she really was a true friend.
