Haythan's Daughter

Where It Started

      I ran past a man tripping him and stealing some money from him.

        "Sorry!" I called to the man as I kept running. This man look different from the other colonist, oh well his loss. Running towards a an alley was not far off, were I had made my home since mine burn down a bit ago. I counted out the loot I had stolen: 10 pounds(money), a button, and a necklace. Wow I got a lot of money!!! I can now eat because I haven't eaten in 2 days. After changing into my girl clothes I went to the market to get some food. Later I decided to get some jerky and an apple and wandered around for a bit. As I was in deep thought ( as deep as a 5 year old could be), the man from before appeared. I got out of there as fast as possible.

     Around nighttime I heard noises coming from the end of the alley. It came closer and closer until I could green eyes staring at me and like any 5 year old I screamed. Before it got anywhere a cold had clamped over my mouth, making me scared and silent. Ever so slowly the hand retraced it's self and the person was crouching in front of me. He was different from the man from the market, he had jet black hair and creepy green eyes, then he spoke "Ha, your thief is just a mear girl, probably not even 5 years old!"

        " I have your money if you want it back, I'm sorry," I said almost crying. I got up and grabbed the money left and handed it to the scary man.

     "Hmmm, don't know what we should do about this thief, we could tell the police or her parents,oh wait don't tell me you don't have any do you," he laughed. I started to cry remembering the fire that killed my parents months ago.

     " Honestly, Charles, we're not here to scare the child, we're here to get the necklace," the man from the market appeared from the shadows.

        "Haythan, I was just having some fun," Charles said.

        "Whatever," Haythan said then turning to me, knelling to my level "I'm looking for the necklace that you took, we're not going to you hurt but I need it back, it was a friend of mine before he died,"

        "Oh, I know what that's like," I said as I held out my necklace with my parents wedding rings on it and a dark blue pendent. Then I grabbed the coin-ish shape on a black cord then gave it to Haythan.

        "Is this it?" I asked.

        "Yes, give it to me and we'll leave you alone," Haythan said as he stared straight into my eyes. I watched them leave .

                                                           A Week Later

     I was about to go to asleep when I heard some nosies.

        "Wh-who's there?," I called. When I said this I was pushed to the ground, then I flipped over to see Charles with a devilish smile.

        "What do you want?" I cried."I want to make you pay for endangering our mission," he said with hatred oozing though every word.

        "The necklace was accident, let me go!" I screached. Charles must have heard something and looked away and I had just enough time to get up and kick him. I ran fast, then looked back to see if Charles was chasing me and he was. Since I was looking backwards I didn't see the wall that was in front of me and smacked right into the wall. Charles in no time flat and said " This should keep you still,"  as he stabbed me in the arm. I screamed/cried then cradled my arm. Just them I heard someone call Charles's name. As Charles was pulling back his arm to stab me again, when someone grabbed it and twisted the knife away. "Honestly, Charles what in God's name were you thinking!" a familiar voice said. The voice stepped into light I could see and it was Haythan! Then he saw me, he rushed over to me, then knelt next to me to inspect my arm."Just so you know, Charles didn't have any orders from me to do this," he said. After that I blacked out.

                                                                  Later........

     I woke up in a bed, I didn't own a bed. As I slowly sat up I looked or anything familiar, only finding my boy clothes on my person. I heard people talking and walking heading towards me. The doors opened and Haythan appeared. He gestured for me to follow him to a table with 7 seats and to sit down.

         "Child, what is your name?" Haytham asked.

        "Victoria" I quietly told him.

        "hmm, suits you well..... well never less." he said

        "I have  an important annoument for you men." Haythan announced."I have chosen Victoria," he gestured to me" to take her under my wing and train her to be one of us as I was because she had shown potential." Then he came over to me then asked me "do you want to become a Templar and protect the world from evil?"

         "Yes!" I said. Haythan gave me a cross shaped pendant to put on my necklace.

        "So technically you just adopted her and now your her father, right?" a man with a native shawl said.

        "Yes," Haythan told him "and her training starts when she heals and will be trained like I was." Then he turned back to me then told me "Before you start training you must know this, Assassin are dangerous and never go near them." As he said this the other men nodded their heads.

                                                                Three years later............

     I wiped off the sweat dripping down my forehead. Haythan had been teaching how to climb buildings with bricks on then. It was incredibly hard but very practical because most of the buildings in big cities are made of brick. I had mastered fist fighting, camouflage, traps, and accents. On my necklace there was only a the Templar pendant but the rings and other pendant were in a box hidden in my room. Haythan's man and himself had told me I had gone far in 3 short years.

                                                                           Next day................

      Haythan told me to go hunt with Charles because he thought I was getting good. After around a  hour, Charles told me to hid and stay there and wait till he came back. I stayed there only you because he still scared me. It was few hours until he returned. The smell of smoke and death was heavy in the air. The screaming, it was terrible and scary. Charles was running away like he just killed his mother and I had to follow.

                                                              Five years later............

     Today was my 13th birthday, nothing special. Today I had off from training but still trained, I had to get better, stronger, faster. I had mastered everything needed to be a Templar. It had been 8 years since Haythan had rescued me and five years since that horrible night, it still scares me every night. The nightmares propel me to be better, because I want to be better than Charles and change the world. Not that long a go I read a book about Templar intions and found out that I'm not a real Templar because I never took the oath.

                                                                      Three 1/2 years later...........

     "Victoria, it's time," Haythan told me. Finally! My first real mission. The plan was to rile the people up and put Boston into chaos. My job was to be a sharpshooter. I grabbed a rifle and followed Charles an Haythan to town hall. Then we split up and I hopped onto a rooftop nearest town hall. What was very weird was that there was another shooter aimed at Haythan. I tackled him and he fought back. We fought each other, taking hits until he tripped me! I fell, he loomed over me with a knife and stabbed my arm. Then he stabbed me again in the leg, I didn't cry out because it would ruin the mission. I waited for the death that never came, because a teenage boy killed him. He offered a his hand but i ignored it. Then I heard gunshots and tried to flee but fell over the edge of the roof(luckily into a hay bale). I tried move but couldn't, then the boy jumped of the roof and scooped me up into his arms.
