The young assassin: Nova

Nova's realization 2

The whole morning Jacob had been quiet, that alone worried nova.

After she ate her breakfast that Jacob had prepared she then decided to leave the den for abit and explore the city of France, the den itself seemed smaller then usual making her feel abit suffocated. Once she had left the den and emerged from out the alley a loud female voice spoke out her name "NOVA!!" Nova slowly turned her head to both sides not being able to locate where the shouting voice had came from but once again she heard it except it was louder "NOVA!! OVER HERE!!" Nova cocked her head to the crowd ahead of her as she then noticed a hand waving at her, the pale skin made her realize it was Rachael who was calling to her since she didn't know anyone else with pale skin such as her's "I'm coming, relax!" Nova shouted hoping Rachael could hear over the roaring and shouting of the crowd, nova slowly made her way to Rachael however already halfway to Rachael she noticed a disturbance behind her, while walking nova used her eagle vision to be able to locate what was causing the commotion with in the crowd, nova instantly gasped realizing it was Templar guards, Rachael was oblivious to the danger that would soon fall upon her, nova instantly sprinted and ran as fast as she could to reach her, Rachael then realized nova was in a hurry and her facial expression spelled trouble was heading her way, Rachael quickly turned to behind her and realized Templars were behind her, she then by instinct ran towards the safety of Nova's arm's as she grabbed Rachael by the hand and quickly ran into the shadows, Nova's heart was racing and as was Rachael's, nova and Rachael were able to find a haystack and quickly ushered Rachael into it "you'll be safe just stay here till I say it's safe" nova whispered to Rachael, seconds later four Templar guards finally came into view of Nova's vision, she turned her body to face them as her black hood covered her eyes, not allowing the enemies to see her face however she could see theirs, her hidden blades were unsheathed, two guards ran after me on opposite sides thinking they could wound me, instead She ducked down and avoided their swing's as she lunged towards the guard on her left and stabbed him multiple times in his stomach killing him, nova grabbed the guards body and used it as a shield to block the guard on the right from stabbing her from behind and the sword simply went through the dead body as she then forced the body to push against the guard and make him tumble as she then jumped onto the man who was in the ground who quickly threw the dead body off of him giving her the opening to jump on him and stab him in the throat instantly killing him. The other two guards stared in horror but lunged at nova as she sheathed her hidden blade and spun her axe around her as she bent down to the ground and sliced both of the guards with the axe in the guts which slowly killed them, nova stared at the dead bodies and started to loot them all, nova had quickly found a letter with the royal stamp of a Templar sealing the letter, the letter had caught her curiosity as she she then got up and hid the note in her pouch and put the axe back onto her back. Nova called out to Rachael who was still hiding in the hay "come out now it's safe..."

Eager to read the note, she walked to the safety of the den while holding Rachael's hand firmly, while walking Rachael had told everything she found out about the Templars schemes and what their next plan was, and upon other things that had scared nova only making her worry, Rachael had within the day already found out so much which surprised nova, she had clothing for that of apprentice assassins, killing was not much of her skill but defending and running including stealth were her strong suites. Both nova and Rachael entered the den quickly as Rachael decided to lean on the wooden fence that surrounded the training area, nova did the same and the both of them were silent for a while until nova decided to break the ice, nova pulled out the letter she looted from one of the bodies and showed it to Rachael, Rachael had gasped loudly eyeing the Templar stamp "this was in the pocket of one of the men chasing you and I have a bad feeling of what it might contain..." Nova reluctantly opened the letter while Rachael leered over nova shoulder watching her open it, nova instantly started reading the contents of the letter

Dear Eva bellamor

    I must thank you for the information you have given us, we once again require you're assistance, please meet me at the outskirts of the city near the docks, my men and I will be awaiting your arrival, please meet us at midnight, no one will be there I promise you, there has been of a pesky assassin sabotaging our shipments of weaponry that we will use to obliterate one of the assassin dens you spoke of in you're previous letter so please do not be late and remember to have your ring on so we can identify you from the other assassins in case one catches winds of you're actions, I hope this letter gets you in god speed my dear daughter Eva

Both nova and Rachael had their eyes wide open in shock, Nova's hands started shaking while holding the letter not believing that a traitor was one of them but the letter made it evident that there is a mole and killer on the loose "Rachael...be careful of who you trust, for now I want you to be able to trust me and me alone no one else except maybe Jacob...I have yet to see him since this morning..." Nova said worryingly, Rachael nodded her head understanding fully aware of the situation "trust no one until I find the mole, promise me Rachael..." "I promise" Rachael's smile was just as contagious as Nova's making her smile brightly

Hours had passed since

Nova layed onto her bed staring at the ceiling still baffled by what she found out in the letter, she sighed and looked to the side of her room seeing the night gown, nova decided to sleep in her robes instead suddenly not feeling so safe in the den, out of worriment she went next to her room and checked up on Rachael seeing her sleep soundly, nova then had a crazy idea and walked into her quietly and pulled out a paper and quill writing a note to Rachael just in case if she went to Nova's room in the middle of the night or woke up not seeing nova in her room

Rachael if you are reading this please do not worry of my whereabouts I should be back before morning but if anything were to happen keeping me delayed please do not fret, I should be fine and incade you feel lonely and need someone to talk to please go to an old friend of mine within the middle of the city she should be able to help you, her house is quite grand and stand out much more then the rest of the houses, I promise you nothing will happen in her care she has been a trusted friend since I first entered the assassins 10 years back maybe even longer I can't remember how long I've known her but you will be safe there I promise her name would be madam Russo III however she is sometimes referred to as missy

Nova folded the note and left it on the table of hers, nova walked out her room silently as she then started making her way towards the den door but stopped and hid as soon as he saw a dark figure, nova suspected it might be the Eva girl however she wasn't sure, she saw the figure open the door and leave the den, nova then silently followed behind and slipped past the door before it could close still following the figure, Nova's breathing had silenced itself to keep herself concealed as her footing was lightly hitting the ground, the figure started sprinting after stepping foot into the alley and out into the streets. Nova sighed softly and started to silently follow the figure, she then noticed that the figure had the assassins robe on, her hood was off and nova noticed the figure was a women with red hair and her hair was up in a messy bun, Nova's eye's squinted and realized the women was going in the direction of the dock, nova then realized that the women was none other then Eva bellamor, the mole, the traitor, and the whore.
