Family Is The Key To Everything

Slamming his hands against the dinner table, Ezio pushed back his chair and stormed off to his bedroom after a harsh yet teasing statement was spoke about him by his brother, Fredrico.

Ezio opened the bedroom door and slammed it shut, kicking the waste bin around his room before screaming and punching the wall. He was constantly picked on and teased by his older brother and the rest of his family that he hated it.

Leaning down, he picked up a small ball that he had recently found on the Black Market. It was a gold ball named the 'Piece of Eden'. No idea. But what a stupid name. It glowed each time Ezio touched it but he didn't care.

Suddenly, Ezio hid the ball underneath his pillow as his mother stormed in.

"Ezio, what is the matter with you?!" She yelled slightly, her eyes narrowing at the teenager. "You have been moody ever since you got banned from seeing Cristina, in fact, you shouldn't be seeing her anyways!"

"No I have not!" Ezio argued back, stomping his foot "This is all Frederico's fault! He started this!"

Maria, Ezio's mother, glared at her son before speaking "You think you are so grown up. That's it, you're staying in this house for a mon- No! A year!"

"Mother, I am seventeen, you can't keep telling me what to do!"

Leaning forward, Maria glared down her nose at her son before growling out "Watch me" Turning her back, she stormed out of the room and slammed the door shut.

Yelling out in frustration, Ezio screamed out "I wish you and father had never even met!" before throwing himself down onto his bed.

Suddenly, the Piece of Eden went nuts underneath his pillow. Taking the ball out, Ezio's eyes widened. The ball was shaking violently and it was glowing a bright gold. "Oh merda..." Ezio mumbled, the ball glowing a bright white.

Suddenly, the ball opened up, sucking Ezio inside and dropping on the floor with a clank.

When Ezio had woken up, his eyes opened to a white light. Rubbing his eyes after they adjusted, he slowly sat up and groaned before looking around.

The room was bare. Just a bed where Ezio lay upon, a lit fire, a book case which held a few books and a picture frame of an old man a his beautiful wife who was a lot younger than he and a large chair sat in front of the fire.

"Ugh...Bastardo...My head. Where am I? Did I sleep over at Cristina's house again?" Ezio looked around the room, rubbing his fore arms ever so gently.

"Ah...I see you're awake..." came a voice from the chair. In the chair, sat an aged man, hair grey as the ash coming from the fire.

"Merda!" Ezio gasped, falling back against the bed, his whole body trembling. "W-Who are you?! Where am I?!" demanded the young Italian, his whole body trembling.

"You're in a dimension where you do not exist. Nor do your brothers. Nor sister. Your parents do not know each other. All thanks to you, Ezio" the figure flicked through his book he was reading before taking to his feet and pushing it back into the book case.

"Who are you, bastardo?! Why do you know my name?!"

Turning around, the hooded figure walked over and sat on the bed Ezio was laid upon. Reaching up, the man pulled down his hood. He was exactly like Ezio...maybe a lot older, he could tell by the wrinkles and grey hair. "I am you...just older"

Snickering slightly, the Auditore gave the man a simple look before snickering "I can tell that straight away~"

The older man just rolled his eyes before shrugging. Narrowing his eyes, Ezio spoke out slowly "So...why am I here?" He asked once more. "Like I said, you've ruined the dimensional gate way...You got here with the Piece of Eden. You got what you wished for. You wished your mother and father had never met"
