Both Jacob and nova stood in the middle of the ball room with blood stained all over their clothes, bodies lay on the cold ground with blood gushing from out the wounds, the bodies heat were almost fading saying to the both of them that there was no chance they could be alive, nova looked at Jacob as he nodded, nova walked up the stairs with the axe that she stole over her shoulder, her knuckles were pure white from holding it to hard, her face was drenched in blood, the axe was just as bloody, Jacob followed silently behind as we then heard a muffled but faint whine, realizing that the girl might still be alive, both nova and Jacob ran up the stairs, Nova's ripped dress made it much easier to be able to maneuver in the fashion that she wished, they came upon a door and tried to open it but it locked, Jacob ushered nova to move out the way as he then got a running start and rammed into the door, he yelped abit in pain as he might have dislocated his arm making nova worry, she gave him a look that practically told him to stop before he could get hurt worse, nova looked around trying to find a different way to inside the room of Vaughn, she then noticed a open bay window on the side of the door, she smirked, nova turned to Jacob and pointed to the open window, Jacob smiled. Nova grabbed onto his arm as she then helped to un-dislocate his arm as she heard a pop from his shoulder, he grunted abit but realized she had fixed his arm.
Jacob then jumped out the window and climbed a ledge that led to Vaughn's room, as both Jacob and nova continued climbing the ledge they lifted themselves up and into the open widow that led into Vaughn's room, nova looking up and saw the young girl that went up with him earlier that was tied to a chair, she had bruises all over her body, her clothes were torn, she had deep cuts all over her body and some light cuts in her throat but not enough to kill her, she had nails dug into her fingers, her body was shaking with fear, she screamed and cried at both Jacob and nova, Jacob got up and once he got closer he saw needle marks in her skin, her veins were showing drastically, she had a muffler into her mouth to keep her from shouting or making any sort of noise, Jacob had calmly used his voice to whisper to her "you'll be ok...both me and her are here to help you, we will take out the muffler but you mustn't scream ok?" Jacob placed a finger to his lip telling her to keep it hush hush, the female had nodded slowly "once we release you, tell us where Vaughn went we must find him, my friend here nova will take you home and clean you up do not be afraid of her she is kind if you treat her well ok? As for me I'll look for he man who did this and make sure to silence him" he calmly talked to her and slowly undid the muffler from her mouth and cut the rope tying her to the chair, she then fell forward to Jacob as his arms held her, nova looked at the girl and leaned in close to her putting down the axe she had obtained next to her and looked down to the nails pierced into her fingers causing massive pain to her no matter what she did, nova looked her into the eyes "listen the nails in your fingers must be removed, I will gladly remove them but I'll need you to be strong for me and not scream ok?" The girl was scared as she then buried her face into Jacob's bloody tux before nodding.
Nova lifted her hands as she still cried, she then quickly grabbed a hold of the nail and quickly as fast as she could ripped out the nail one by one only making her scream louder each time in pain. After the nails were all removed she spoke while sobbing loudly "th-the m-m-man left out th-the w-w-window saying not to t-tell, please don't kill m-me" she pleaded as much as she could, both Jacob and nova nodded "we won't kill you but my friend will take you to some place safe, you have my word" the assassin smiled sweetly at her reassuring her safety as much as he possibly could, nova placed a warm hand onto the girl's shoulder "tell me what is your name"
The girl hesitantly told her name "...Rachael" her sobbing made her words sound almost in audible "what's a girl such as yourself with these pigs?" "I need money..." She whimpered "well don't worry we will get you out of here but we need you to answer one last question, did Vaughn ever tell you before he left where we was gonna go after the ball?" Rachael nodded "something about...some sort of warehouse not to far from here near the shipping docks for something...that's all I know" both the assassins nodded knowing exactly what she meant by shipping docks meaning he would leave France soon.

Jacob and nova were perched on top of the warehouse roof allowing them to see everything and everyone, it wasn't long before both of them used their eagle vision an spotted Vaughn entering the ship name "la olde" it was a shipping boat most known for shipping illegal items to different countries, the scenery they both saw from where they perched was beautiful to nova except for the smoke in the air, Jacob had no reactions he had seen this city countless times considering he had lived here most of his life, the water seemed darker then before almost black really, the air was chilly, she lifted her black hood over her head to hopefully keep warm as much as she could while Jacob did the same, nova dropped herself down onto the side of the warehouse building witch had a perfect hiding spot, she hid in the shadows, the silhouette of the warehouse and behind crates, she blended so well that a guard walked right past her not aware of her presence, she didn't wanna take the chance of him seeing her so she quickly grabbed him by the shoulder pushing him back onto the ground and using the hidden blade to stab the guard in the throat silencing him, she then used a poison dart at a guard halfway to the ship caring a crate witch held the word "fragile" in large bold red on both sides, the guard dropped the crate as the crate cracked abit and frantically started moving in a odd manor, he screamed and slashed at thin air, the guard both guarding the ship door ran towards the screaming man, Jacob smirked and jumped from the warehouse and jumped on both the guards killing them instantly with the hidden blade and quickly ducked under the mans frantic arms and gut his stomach open, the man instantly bled an died on the cold hard floor. Everything was silenced in the dead of night, nova emerged from the shadows and walked towards Jacob "nice work...brat" Jacob said with an obnoxious voice that I loathed but at the same time loved because it was part of him, nova smirked slightly and walked towards the door of the boat quietly entering as she closed her eyes focusing on how to find Vaughn again, she opened her eye's minutes later as Jacob was behind her, she walked onward with Jacob behind her, she turned a sharp left and then another left only to stop in front of a metal door, she knocked on the door three times "......" Everything was still, not a single sound was heard within the boat, nova quickly grew angered and knocked on the door again but louder and this time they both a ruffling sound, then a huge clang rang into their ears as the door slowly opened, the voice spoke softly and frantically "will we be leaving soon captain?!" He looked up at the both of Jacob and nova with eyes opening wide in terror, his body shook as his teeth shivered in fear "no...no...please no...spare me!" The man begged on his knees and tried kissing her shoes, nova softly growled at the man actions and simply kicked him in the face as hard as she could but held back making sure not to kill him...yet "just what were you planning to do with the information you received about the assassin?" The man held his nose as it bled and spoke in fear "I was thinking maybe I could money out of the information that I have, I assure you I wouldn't do anything more!" "Vaughn you have been charged with the rape, abuse and intentional murder of the girl known as Rachael, not only that but you are also charged with just simply being a Templar, however there is a question you must answer, who told you the information you have obtained? Tell me his or her name now and I might just consider sparing your life..." Nova hissed at the man with disgust in her eyes towards the mans action
Vaughn looked down and silently whispered "her name is...is...eva...eva...bellamor"
"I couldn't hear you...repeat the name but louder this time" she groaned having to waste any more time in him then she already had "Eva bellamor! She is the daughter of the grand templar! She was sent to become a assassin to learn you're secrets to defeat you all once and for all...now please spare me!" Nova quickly pulled out her gun embedded to her hidden blade with also had the phantom blade embedded as well, the poison darts were there as well, she also had throwing knifes in her belt, a smoke bomb holder along with her French bastard sword onto the other side of the belt in its sheath, she had everything a assassin would need as did Jacob except now her other weapon consisted if a heavy axe she had from the ball, she had grown to like it and decided to keep it on her back. Jacob looked troubled at the the man mentioned, both the assassins walked out the ship and ran away from the warehouse and port as fast as they could
