Chapter 17

Winter 1777

*Sophronia's POV*

We all notice Benjamin Church facing away from us, Connor just about to walk up to him but Haytham pushed him back and going up to him, himself. Haytham now standing behind with me and Connor behind him well, I stood right behind Connor as he basically pushed me behind him, I think he knew something bad was about to happen.

"Benjamin Church, You stand accused of betraying the Templar Order and abandoning our principles in pursuit of personal gain. In consideration of your crime, I hereby sentence you to DEATH."

'Benjamin' turns around revealing his true identity as he shouts "Now!"

Connor, Haytham and I quickly turn around our back now facing the fake Church and facing two bayonets, Connor pushes me behind him as the man dressed up at Church says "You're too late. Church and the cargo are long gone. And I'm afraid you won't be in any condition to follow..."

I pull my battle axe from my back holding it with two hands ready to attack, one of the two men with bayonets ran up to me and Haytham. Haytham goes towards him with his sword and starts fighting distracting him enough for me to throw the large double axe at the man's head which did hit him straight in the head and it stayed in as he fell to the floor, I quickly grab the axe and pulled it out of his head.

I turn to see Connor fighting the other men with Haytham, I held the wood of the axe with a lot of strength, now the fighting begins.

(Skip time, can't really do fighting scenes)

I'm now covered in blood, with the now dead men and also my own, I got scratched across my arms and it seems to be quick deep as I can now feel the blood come through the clothing. I watch as Connor walks up to 'Benjamin' and kneels beside him with Haytham right behind him, I know for a fact that Haytham was going to kill him.

Connor asks "Where is Church?" holding the man down by his shoulder

The man surrenders quickly as he replies "I'll tell you. Anything you want. Only promise that you'll let me live." Connor turns to look at Haytham asking him for permission to keep him alive which he gets a nod in approval. Connor helps the man to his feet without any struggle. I stayed back battle axe on the floor in front of me as I kept the pressure on the deep wound.

"You have my wound"

"He left yesterday for Martinique. Took passage on a trading sloop called the Welcome." I notice Haytham walking behind the man, I knew this was coming "Loaded half its hold with the supplies he stole from the Patriots. That's all I know. I swear." Haytham quickly releases his stolen hidden blade and stabs the man in with back as the man fell to the floor the last words he says is "You promised" which got a reply from Haytham "and HE kept his word"

I could tell with the impressions on Connor's face he was quite angry, I lean against the wall as I notice another three men aiming at Connor and Haytham, Connor quickly notices and drags Haytham behind some boxes but instead of the men shooting at them, they turn so they are aiming in front of them causing wood to fall from the upper level and starting a fire, I quickly picked up my axe and ran up a some wood and reaching the upper level, I waited for Haytham and Connor to come but only Haytham made it, Haytham quickly grabs my arm and pulls me away from the scene.

I stayed near the corner as Haytham shouts "I grow impatient Connor. You really need to hurry up or I'll be forced to kill them myself!" I see Connor pull himself over I smile in relief right behind the two men who are aiming their bayonets at the two of us but as he did pull himself over, a blank of wood falls and causes the three men to fall through the floor but thankfully Haytham held on. Connor looks over the side to see if his father was alive and as he sees him hold on he grabs him and pulls him up.

I move around the hole in the floor reaching for the two men, I and Haytham walk towards a large window and we both try and open it but it is stuck and as we tried to open the window I didn't notice Connor had walked away from the window until I hear Haytham "Oh. No. Don't do that. There's no way of knowing what's on the other siiii" and then Haytham and I were pushed through the wood with force, I didn't open my eyes until I felt water hit me.

I was the first to reach the top and Connor came up last and say "We do know" and we all swim to dry. We all pull ourselves over, I quickly check to see if my battle axe is still on my back and thankfully it is, I put pressure on my arm to see it is bleeding slightly.

I didn't even notice Haytham leave as I am facing away, I feel a large hand on my shoulder and I turn to see Connor looking at me with concern, he opens his mouth to say something but I stop him and I wrap my arms around him and place my head on his chest, I feel his arms wrap around my waist giving into the embrace, I never felt so relieved to be alive.
