Francis & Sabrina

"Isabelle, there is no way you seen my father. He has been dead over four hundred years!" Ezio shouted. "I know what I saw! I'm not crazy, I seen your mother when I was about to die from having Maria!" I was on the verge of tears. Ezio didn't believe me. "Isabelle your talking like a crazy person! Listen to yourself! There in no way to communicate with the dead." I was angry. How dare he call me a liar? He is the one that impregnated me. He is the one that had his stupid guards bring me to this hell. "How would you know? I spent everyday wondering why me. Why was I so unfortunate that I was destined to be with someone as cold hearted and cruel as you are!" Ezio chuckled. "Oh my dear, you believe in mates? That's cute, unfortunately I don't believe in shit like that! I don't know how you knew of what my mother told me before she died, but I don't believe you have talked to her, or seen her for that matter!"

I was in a rock and a hard place. Ezio didn't believe me, and I didn't know how to prove him wrong. I had to get away from here, and I had to do it fast! I ran to my bathroom and slammed the door shut. I would take my daughter and leave this horrible place!

Later on that night, when everyone was sleeping I grabbed a duffle bag and stuffed my daughters things into it, with some of my clothes. I grabbed some money I had stolen from Ezio when we were fighting. I had to prove him wrong, and I planned on doing just that! I snuck into the nursery and picked up my sleeping beauty and carried her through the palace. She was sound asleep, and I prayed she stayed that way! I finally made it to an exit when the old maid that I first met when I came here spotted me. Shit. "Why are you heading towards the exit of the palace?" I had to come up with a good lie, or she would rat on me. It was nearly daylight! "Oh you know, I just wanted to take a walk with my daughter, alone. I don't really get much privacy." The maid was silent for a long time, finally she smiled. "Enjoy your walk Miss, and your daughter is beautiful." I smiled back at her and proceeded to walk away.

When I got away from the castle, I started fumbling around in my brain. Trying to find somewhere I can be safe without Ezio finding us. He got lucky last time because he had Alisha. Good thing I killed her. I remembered a small motel not very far from the bar. I began walking when a woman pulled up beside us. "You look like you could use a ride. It's bad for a baby to be out in this damp weather. Hop in." I was about to decline her offer but she insisted.

I jumped into her car and she sped away. "I know who you are Isabelle. I also know that is baby Maria." I gasped. How could she possibly know of us? She laughed. "Dear, don't be frightened of me. I am Francis' sister. My nephew had a bad habit of not letting his relatives in his life." Who was Francis? "Um, Francis was Ezio father?" She chuckled. "Yes, he was. He was a tyrant. He killed our entire family, but he spared me. I spent a thousand years running from him. Then one day, I got word that Ezio killed him and took over Serta. I wanted to come back, but I also got word that my Nephew was just like him. So I continued running." I was shocked. "My name is Sabrina. Maria is beautiful, and she looks just like Ezio." I was in complete shock. "Please don't take me back to the castle. There are things I have to prove first!" I broke down in tears.

"Don't cry Isabelle. You must be strong for your child. I am always here to talk, and I will not take you back to the castle. You can stay with me, if you use that money, Ezio will find you. Castle money is different than outsiders money. Someone would call and report it." I sighed. I knew she was right. "Do tell why you are running, Isabelle." She smiled softly at me. I had to talk to someone. "I can see dead people, including Maria and last night I saw Francis. I argued with him and he laughed at me. Ezio saw me, but he didn't see his father standing behind him. We got into a huge fight. He doesn't believe me, so now I have to prove him wrong."

Sabrina came up to an old abandoned building, or so I thought. We were hours away from the castle. I had no idea this realm was so big! We walked inside and it was beautiful. "There's an old and powerful witch that lives here. Let's just say this place is for those whom wish to not be found. She created this place, and she too can see and speak to the dead. She's the last remaining elder." I gasped. "I need to speak with her." Sabrina frowned. "She only allows people in her room when she wishes to see them." I felt heat climb to my eyes, and I knew I was about to cry. I shut my eyes and inhaled a few times until the heat went away and I could think again. "There is an extra room beside mine, your more than welcomed to it." I grabbed Maria up and headed to it. "Oh Isabelle!" Sabrina called out to me. "I have a friend here who happens to have extra baby stuff. I'll bring it up to you later on. If you need anything, let me know." I nodded, said thank you and walked into my room, not once looking back.
