The Templar-Assassin's Creed 3

Chapter 4 (Edited)

It's been a few days since I went to speak with the Assassin, I now know as Connor. I heard that he almost succeeded with the escape but he just had to go and find Thomas Hickey only to be caught by my father and Hickey.

Now he's being executed, tomorrow morning, in fact, there is only one more thing I can do for him but I know it isn't going to work but I had to try, I don't know why I'm doing this why am I saving an Assassin, someone I meant to be enemies with. I suppose I just clicked with him, I do feel weird around him.

I knock the door to my father's office, I wait for a second until I hear him shout to come in, I slowly open the large doors making sure to close them behind me before walking over to my father who is sitting behind a desk doing some kind of work.

"Good Evening, Sophronia. How may I help you?" My father asks as I take a deep breath, hoping this will work, "I was uh... wondering why is Con- the Assassin is being hanged? He hasn't even had a trial!"

My father smiles and looks at me, I raise an eyebrow in confusion, "Your just like your mother, always trying to help others... but you can't always others, if you want to become Grand Master some day," My father says and stands up and walks over to me now standing in front of me, "You need to just help the Templars and definitely not the Assassin's."

I sign in defeat, I should have realised that my father would use the Grand Master excuse on me, I could actually become the first female Grand Master in this order, every since I was old enough to understand the Templars, I've always wanted to be in charge and Haytham and my father wanted me to become the Grand Master one day too and they always tell me I can do it, they've taught me everything I need to know about running the order and everything about the Assassin's and why they are enemies but... I feel like Connor isn't my enemy, he's something more.

"C-can't we just keep him in prison-" I try to persuade him but my father cuts him off, "No, Sophronia. He's escaped once and he'll do it again, being underground best option for him, and the cross," He finishes as he puts his hand on my shoulder and squeezed it, "It's late, you better go to bed. The Templars have a big day tomorrow,"

"But-"

"No, but's. Now go!" I sign before turning around and leaving the room, heading straight to my room, I change into my sleepwear before getting into bed but not falling asleep, just staring at the ceiling, thinking about tomorrow, I don't want to be there tomorrow being the reason he can't get out and he's being executed, I can't betray the order, they're are all I have, I'll just have to go along with it and watch Connor hang.

*Next Day*

I stand by the staged, looking out to the scene in front of me, a lot of people had come to watch Connor be executed, I don't understand how people could just come and watch someone die, I can't I don't even want to be here, watching someone suffering hurts me that's why I never come and watch people be executed.

I look down at the floor as I noticed Connor walk around the corner, with Hickey walking behind him bringing him to the stay, I look at him to see him looking at me, "I'm sorry," I lip to him, he nods, showing he's thankful for my trying. 

I gasp as a woman comes forward punching Connor to the face, knocking him to the floor. I stare at him in worry as the woman spits on him as an old man I reconise comes forward pulling her back with his walking stick and whispered something to Connor until Connor is stood back up by Hickey. Walking him forward to the stage where his last moments is going to be.
