A Rookie's Flight |Assassin's Creed Fanfiction|

Chapter 11

   "You need to tell me what happened on that boat!" Edward shouted angrily.

   We were in the captain's cabin on the Jackdaw. Edward was standing, I was sitting in the chair, and Raven was laying on the bed. All of the peaceful enjoyment I'd had with Raven was gone.

   "What time?" I asked with frustration equal to Edward's. "The first time or the second time?"

   "Every blasted minute!" Edward pounded the table. "I asked you to tell me when you first got on board but you just happened to wiggle out. I want answers. Now!"

   "Fine!" I crossed my arms and glared at him silently.

   "By golly lass! You're more stubborn than Kidd!" Edward sat down and glared back. "What happened on that boat?"

   "I scraped a hole in the stern." The glaring contest continued.

   "Surely they locked you up though?" More glaring, and silence.

   "They did. The bars were a foot and a half apart. I got out, got my weapons and started scraping the hole. Simple as that. Nothing else to tell."

   "And the second time?" Our glaring still hadn't stopped, and the silence came once again.

   "I killed everybody."

   Edward slapped his forehead. "I know that! That was obvious!"

   "Hmph," I grunted and tipped my chair back a little bit, holding myself up with my legs.

   "You're lucky I don't just come over there and tip you over," Edward said with another glare.

   I quickly leaned my chair back to all four of its legs. We sat in tense silence until someone knocked on the door.

   Edward stopped glaring at me and looked at the door. "What is it?"

   The door opened and one of the crew came in. "We've reached Nassau, Captain."

   "Good," Edward shot me one last withering look before he stood up and headed for the door.

   I glared at the door after it slammed shut. "I don't like answering questions," I muttered.

   "He just wants to know what you did," Raven said from the bed. "I do too, but I think I already figured it out."

   "That's nice," I huffed.

   Raven laughed quietly. "You're a lot like I was at first. Quick to learn. but short tempered whenever questions come along."

   I picked up a large paperweight and studied it. "It must have something to do with our power. I'm starting to feel more short tempered with every passing day." I set the paperweight down and looked over at Raven.

   Raven frowned at me. "That's not good."

   "What do you mean it's not good?" I asked nervously.

   "I mean that your power is starting to take over. When that happens, you get very powerful very quickly, but you also start to lose control of yourself."

   Him saying that made me worried about using my power. "Will I lose control faster if I use my power? How can I stop it?"

   "You can't stop it, and trying to not use your power is like trying to not breathe. Even right now you're using some of your power."

   "What am I doing?" My worry changed to curiosity. Forget worrying about what was going to happen, I wanted to know what was happening.
