I'll Be With You

Chapter 24

Ade took place next to us. "GO!" He shouted, as men circled and watched this. Mary put her fists up and blocked her face as I did the same. I took one swing, felt her wrist hit mine, stopping my swing, then, she took a left hook, and it hit the right side of my head. Then I blacked out.

"Look! He lives!" Ade joked as Mary laughed. I looked up, wary of everything. "I have you Edward, come on." Mary said grabbing my hand. I pulled her hand, knocking her to the ground with me. "Fuck you." I whisper to Mary, pissed at the world for losing. "You probably want to." She said mockingly. "You'd be right to assume that." I said. We stood up, my arm around her neck. "Why is this familiar?" She said. " Let's not worry about it, shall we?" I said opening the door. I slammed the door behind us. I turned, and she grabbed my collar as I pulled my lips to hers. She pulled off my coat as I threw hers to the floor. It lasted forever, that was until Ade walked in.

"Captain, oh, sorry to uh, interrupt you two, but urgent news, a new Templar working in England has come to Inagua. He's attacked, this was sent some hours ago, from Anne. The battle may still be going on."

I opened the letter.

To whomever is reading this,

There is an attack at Inagua, please help. This is urgent.

And if either Edward Kenway, or Mary Read receive this, I will do my best. I cannot hold them for very long, but will do my best. The children, I swear to give my life for theirs. The Assassins are helping. I haven't got much time before they see me, so I'll start to end this.

Both of your companionship was the best thing that's ever happened to me. I am forever in your debt. If this means my life, so be it. Long live the Assassins, pirates, and freedom.

~A.B
So long and goodbye.

My heart dropped, and I could tell that Mary felt the same. "The kids. Anne." She said in daze. She then grabbed all her weapons, and some ones that she had as extras from her ship. "Stay here boys, if I'm not back, well, then that means death has finally welcomed me." She said. "Captain, we won't. If you, and Kenway, go to hell, were right behind you two. We're all damned either way." A deck boy said as all pirates drew their weapons. "Aye." She replied as they leaped to the Jack.

We had double the men, so we sailed twice as fast.

We sailed into the cove. "Bloody Hell." Mary said. There were so many dead, as more armored Assassins, Templars, citizens, and pirates alike filled to the beach front for a bloody battle.

Mary was running off, and I followed. We fought through so many bastards blocking are way, until we reached the door step. It was locked and barricaded on the inside. "Fuck." I said. "I've got this. Stand back." Mary said as I took a single step from the door. She grabbed her pistol, shot the locked, and both me and her used the side of our arms as rams, and after a few knocks, it worked.

Mary sighed. "God Dammit girl, I almost shot you." Mary said. Jenny was on the other side holding a gun as she put it down, and Mary did the same with hers. "I'm just happy your alive though." Mary said as Jenny broke into tears hugging Mary. "It's alright dear, I'm here, but you need to be strong, and stay and protect your siblings. Can you do hat for me?" Mary asked as Jenny nodded. "Here, take this." She gave Jenny a new set of hidden blades that she wrapped on her arms. "Just open your palms, and move your wrist quickly, and the blade'll eject. Got that?" Jenny shook her head once more. "Good. We'll be back." I told her. "Split up and find Anne." Mary said.

We ran our separate ways. I took many lives, within minutes, surely Mary had done the same. "Has anyone seen Anne? Anyone?" I asked as people were running.

Then I heard a scream.
