The Templar-Assassin's Creed 3

Chapter 11 (Edited)

Connor and I walk side by side towards our destination, slowly walking down the small snowy hill, taking the time we have together alone pretty wisely but in my head, I have a lot on my mind about what Connor and I had started.

I look to my right side to see Connor still had a frown on his face, he must still be pretty annoyed with his father, I understand why he is annoyed with him, his first encounter with him had been the two almost killing each other, before his father killing that man.

I move my hand and grabbed his larger hand, he stops and look down to me. I smile before it turned into a frown, thinking about everything, mostly about what is going on between me and Connor. How is this supposed to work?

"Why am I doing this?" I whisper to myself but of course Connor had heard, his look turns into confusion. Removing his hand from mine before placing it on my shoulder. "What do you mean?" Connor asks gently.

I sign as I move away from him, placing my hand on top of my head. I shouldn't be doing this. We're supposed to be enemies, not lovers. He's an Assassin and I'm his enemy, I'm a Templar. Being with him I am betraying the Templar order, the only thing I have known, I've grown up in the order and now I'm betraying the order by being having a lover as an Assassin.

I could only imagine what would happen if my father ever finds out about me being with him. He'd be so disappointed in me and would probably think of me as a disgrace of the family and the order. After my father, I have been announced as the next Grand Master, the one thing I had always wanted ever since I was little but that wasn't the only thing I wanted.

Women are treated poorly, even though I am a woman, I don't think I'm treated that bad but I know I'm treated badly. Since I'm probaby near the higher class but not completely, men want to become my husband just to become Grand Master which I know would never happen. 

My father wants me to become the Grand Master and I know if I marry some man, he wouldn't allow him to get what he married me for. I don't want a marriage just for someone to become higher than other, I want some that will love me for who I am and not for my class and I never knew that was even possible until... I met Connor.

"I-I shouldn't be d-doing this, I shouldn't b-be with you," I tell him with a sad look, his face turns from confusion into a sad look. 

"We shouldn't be lovers, we're supposed to be enemies but..." I start to say as I take his hand in mine. "I just... I just can't help but feel attracted you, I apologise if that's forward but it's the truth. I feel a feeling that I've never felt, only when I'm around you,"

I place my hand on his cheek as I smile at him, he smiles back. "I just need you to understand one thing, Connor. I'm betraying the order to be with you. I'm a Templar. I was BORN a Templar and I'll DIE a Templar but even in this short time in knowing you, I've fallen for you, I love you Connor but I just can't leave the order, I hope you understand," I tell him.

Connor smiles before carefully grabbing my arms, pulling me towards him. Embracing me in his arms as he whispers back the same confession but in just four simple words "I love you too," I smile at his words, I've never felt so happen for someone to say this to me, I move onto my tiptoes and connect my lips with him, sadly it only lasted a second since we had to be somewhere and just in case Haytham turns up out of no where and catching us together.

I move away from his embrace and tell him, "Come on, we better get going," I walk a head of him and noticed we're closer to the place than expected. I turn and gesture Connor to follow and I run towards the carriage full with hay, I jump in with Connor following and carefully listened to the conversation.

Suddenly the carriage stops, Connor peaks out of the hay and jumps out and starts following the men, I would have gone with him but once he got out a man walks past, not allowing me to get out until Connor is out of sight.

Finally, he disappears and I quickly but carefully start going the way that Connor had gone and surprisingly, I found him in no time well, not without almost being caught and kill the men who got in my way and I found him hiding in some bushes.

I kneel next to him and asked, "What's going on?" I look at him as he points in front of me where Haytham is being dragged by two men who look like they are Church's men. "Look what we found!" I hear one of the men dragging Haytham shout to the man closest to the building.

"He was creepin' round the camp all suspicious-like,"

"Must be a Yank spy!" The man walks towards the three men, leaning down in front of Haytham as he confirms who Haytham actually is. "No. He's something else. Something special isn't that right, Haytham?"

"Church told me ALL about you," The man finishes as he is now face to face with Haytham, "Then you should know better than this," Haytham quietly replies, the man stands back to his feet for a second before he threw his fist at Haytham.

"You're not really in a position to be makin' threats are y?" The man snaps as one of the men holding Haytham makes him look straight at the man in front of him. Haytham didn't say anything for a second, blood running down his nose before he finally replies.

"Not yet," Suddenly drag Haytham to the building and pins him against it and starts beating him, I nudge Connor before pulling my axe from my back and run towards one of the men, sending the one blade into one of the men holding Haytham's, straight into the neck sending him straight to the floor which caused the other two men to move away from Haytham.

"Come on!" I tell Haytham as I move to help Connor in fighting the other men, only for more to turn up. One of those men runs towards me and swings his sword at me, only for me to block it with the ax before pushing him away as I swing my axe, swinging it into his head.

I slam the end of my axe into another guys stomach before throwing the ax at an incoming guy. I quickly turn my attention back to the winded man laying on the floor, leaning over him as I repeatedly punch in the face until he closes his eyes, either dead or unconscious.

"Once you two dealt with these louts, meet me in New York," I hear Haytham suddenly say as I run towards my battle axe, swinging it at another guy who dodges it and grabs onto the wooden part of the ax and starts fighting me for the ax.

"What? You mean to just leave? Now?" Connor asks as I finally get the ax away from the man, being quick, I kick the back of his legs, sending him to the floor before I stick the blade into his shoulder causing him to cry out in pain.

"If you can't handle a couple of mercenaries, then we've really no business working together," Haytham replies to Connor before running off, I groan in disbelief. I can't believe he left us, I could only imagine what my father would do for leaving me with an Assassin, let's just hope he doesn't find out for Connor's and Haytham's sake.
