It had been a couple of months since Jacob went to France with Eva, she hated the idea of him being with her but she could've cared less especially if she was having such a grand time in London, she had recruited so many in his absence that the town was crawling with assassins always alert to help people in the town, the crawly's began to flourish into something different, instead of the poorest of the poor living there, middle class citizens lived there. The assassins were more then happy to help the crawly's flourish into something new, there weren't as many child labor factories around like before which was good but at the same time, bad. She grew tired and bored in London, all the threats had been eliminated, barely any criminal activities, nothing to do except go to fight clubs, go to the tavern and on some occasions Thomas's tombstone to talk to him.

"Excuse me grandmaster nova?"
She looked over her shoulder only to see one of her recruits on his knees holding his sides. Panic waved over her as she saw blood seeping through his hands, she ran to his side and removed his hands only to see a deep wound
"Put pressure on it" he nodded
"C'mon let's take you to the doctor he will fix you up" she pulled his arm over her neck helping him up and helping him walk away from the train and into devils arc, the train hadn't been moving all day.
"What happened to you?" She am him had walked out of devils arc and into the heart of the city only to see that a doctor had opened his shop so early in the morning compared to the others, she was for once grateful of that, the doctor had immediately seen nova and saw the blood on the man she was helping
"I shall get to working on him now, please lay him down!" She had laid him down as he winced in pain.
"I was attacked...by some rogue crazy assassin! He didn't belong to the France branch or even London branch! He gave me a letter I believe is for you" he had reached into his satchel and pulled out a letter in a envelope
"Grandmaster please be careful!" She nodded at his words
"You too"
He had disappeared to the back of the building by rushing nurses and doctors

She had walked out of the hospital and had decided to go to the nearest tavern which was only a 10 min walk
Thank god she thought, the envelope had peaked her interest, she wished to tear into it but couldn't

She had walked into the tavern only to be greeted by a glass bottle hitting her head, of course it hadn't knocked her out but she turned her head only to see a drunk man smiling at her, she smiled back and walked up to him only to punch him in the face knocking him out cold, she looked at the drink mans attire only to realize that they were blighters, she smiled widely
Hell yes she thought.
She smiled and scanned the whole room only to see some rooks were knocked out cold on the floor, blighters were winning though which didn't settle well with her.
She ran towards a blighter who was about to punch one of the rooks in the face, she kicked his spine only making him scream in pain, she then grabbed his shoulders and threw him on the ground then shot him square in the face killing him instantly, the room grew dead quiet as the blighters looked at nova
"Why is it that the blighters have dared to attack my rooks?" Her eyebrows arched up
"Because our new leader says we will win for sure!"
New leader? What the hell
"Is your leader the same one who attacked one of my assassins earlier today?"
"Yeah he is!"
"Well if that's the case...tell your leader I wanna meet him...and as a sign of war I want you to give him alittle present from me" she reached down to the dead body next to her, she grabbed his head and twisted it off completely only to rip it off his body
The blighters looked at nova in fear as she tossed the head to them
"Give that to him" her voice had boomed inside the tavern as the blighters picked up the head and all ran out the tavern in a rush
"Wake up all the living rooks with water, tell the rest of the rooks that we are to have a meeting at white chapel an everyone is to be there as quickly as possibly!" The rooks had nodded as they went to the back of the tavern an threw water at the knocked out rooks, there reaction was hilarious, they all screamed in panic once they felt the water
I've got to protect the rooks while Jacob is away with Evie
A few other rooks left the tavern and ran in the shadows to look for others

She sighed heavily as she rubbed her eyes and sat down on the train's couch already back from the meeting with the rooks at white chapel
"I think I have an idea on who the leader is, the same one that killed my parents" she growled as she pulled out the envelope and began to read the note

Oh how much I hate you nova Kenway, you robbed me of something I loved years ago! And you will pay, I will destroy your life making you live in hell! I just can't wait to see your terrified face when I'm about to pull the trigger to you, your tears are what drive me nova Kenway, your despair is like candy to my mouth and l will make sure you rot in hell

- family murderer

She crumpled up the note and envelope throwing them in the trash, she didn't know what to think anymore
Anger, fear and worriment had washed over her, she had placed her hands on her face about to break down once more, her body shook and trembled.
"What the bloody hell am I supposed to do now?"
She had gotten up and paced back and forth the cart thinking of what do next

Her thoughts were interrupted as she heard a knock on the door
"Come in and state your purpose!"
She heard the door slide open
"Umm excuse me miss nova"
"Yes?"
She stopped pacing back and forth and turned her body to face the man before her, his eyes were brown, he had no facial hair, his skin was white, he had blond hair that looked as though he had just gotten out of a fight, his hair was put in a small ponytail.
"What's your name?"
"Nicholas..."
"State your purpose"
"I was wandering if maybe you'd like to go out this evening?"
"A date?"
"Well...yes"
He had his hands behind his back and smiled nervously only making nova laugh abit
"I would love to thank you, where would be heading off to then?"
"I'm not quiet sure where your preference to go would be miss"
"Please call me nova" she smiled reassuringly to him as he shuffled his feet quiet nervously
"I think...perhaps we should go to...a fight club?" Her eyebrow arched up as she smiled at him still
"I can tell your like different women miss nova, I like that"
Her heart broke abit at what he said, she didn't wish to raise his hopes up and crush it once the date is over
"How about we go now Nicholas?"
"Absolutely!" He perked up in excitement, he had held his hand out for her as she linked arms with him and went to the closest fight club only to realize that maybe the fight club wouldn't be the safest place to be in, she darted her eyes across the room only to see blighters over run the fight club
"Get the rooks here as quickly as possible...including the other assassins...set up an ambush I'll draw them to white chap, be ready in 10" She whispered to him as he nodded and ran out the club.
It seems as though no one had noticed her which was good, she didn't wish to be noticed, yet anyways.

She had decided to sit down at a table close to the door.
"This will be the death of me one day..." She sighed and had pulled on her hoodie only to be interrupted seconds later by a man with red hair, white as can be and a cocky grin
"What's a beautiful lady such as yourself doing here Hm?" His cocky grin only made her uncomfortable causing her to shift about in her seat. She felt as though he knew him from somewhere, familiar really but she couldn't put her finger on it
"Cut to the chase...what do you want?"
Her words were as sharp and cold as ever and her glare was piercing into him
"I simply wanna enjoy my time with you is all"
"Who are you?"
"Names don't matter here tonight dear, after all names are simply part of the English grammar really, what a name to others when some might call it or someone or something else?"
"I take it your into philosophy?"
"In a way yes"
Something about him and the way he spoke made her senses shoot up in full alert
"I'll go get us some drinks lovely" he winked at her only making her growl lowly as her eyes paced around the room frantically hoping to find a way to escape the man's presence, she bite her bottom lips harshly as she felt liquid on her teeth only making her realize she bit to hard, her hands clenched into a fist, her emotions were skyrocketing as her legs became weak, her heart had begun to beat like a lunatic. Everything in her body told her to run, to leave the man, or kill him, her teeth began to grind together as she wandered what was going on with herself.
She was so lost in her thoughts she didn't notice the man sit in front of her again with two beers till he waved at her face hoping to catch her attention
"Hello miss?"
Her eyes shot up as she remembered her situation
"I'm sorry what?"
She blinked repeatedly, she grabbed the beer and chugged down half of it only to smile
"Thank you I suppose, mystery man" she lifted the cup up only to feel her body become entirely numb, she couldn't feel anything on her body, her eyes became heavy a her vision had become dots, black dots really, her eyes closed shut, her heat beat had steadied, her face and body had hit the table causing a loud thud as she then heard a distant chuckle as well as words
"Goodnight dear...nova"
