The Idiot Assassin - Jacob Frye

Another Murder

"Anastasia, I'm sorry-"

"Jacob, its alright. Im alright. You should go, they need you there." I cut Jacob off, giving him a fake smile. Jacob sighed and hugged me tightly. Before he could say anything, there was a knock on the door.

"You may come in!" I stepped away from Jacob and crossed my arms. "Anastasia miss, there is some terrible news that I need to tell you.." A man with a mustache and a beard named Wilson, from my gang has entered the cart.

"What is it Wilson?" I said gently, trying not to scare him. Jacob arm was now around my shoulders, putting on his top hat with a smirk on his face.

"There has been another murder...miss.."

**************

Abberline, Jacob and myself were standing above a dead member from my gang. This has begun to drive me angry, seeing my loyal gang members being murdered for no particular reason by the mad asylum patient.

"What if it was the Templars? Or even the bloody Blighters!?" Wilson stomped his feet on the ground. "It isn't Wilson, that will be all for now, thank you." I said, not wanting to tolerate him while he exploded. Wilson bowed respectfully and left with the other members of my gang.

"Any note?" I asked, still looking at the man who was murdered brutally. His guts were on the floor, and his arm was chopped off. "Of course." Abberline handed the small white paper to Jacob, he began to unfold the paper and read the message.

"Dearest sister, apologies for killing your innocent warriors. I will be seeing you very soon little one, all I need is your patience. I know your dying to meet me."

Both my hands turned to fists, anger spreading through my body. I snatched the paper from Jacob's hand, taking another look at the paper. "She signed her name in his blood..." I said in a low voice, rather in shock.

"Anastasia, if this is a family feud, you need to let me be aware of it. I know she is your sister and I know you would want to protect her but-" I cut off Abberline, not wanting to hear his misjudgment.

"She isn't my sister! I'm the only child of Alisa Delgadro and Alexander Cobain!" I walked away, tears in my eyes as it drove me mad. Every little thing drove my sanity, did I really have a sister?

--

"Excuse me Freddy." Jacob gives a weak smile and tips his hat in order of respect. He jogged after Anastasia and caught up, placing his hand on her shoulder, stopping her.

"I have no sister Jacob!" I started to cry, I didn't want to, but I was frustrated. "Its alright, we'll get to the bottom of this." Jacob held me close to his body, arms around me protectively. "I have no sister Jacob.." I whispered on his chest.

--

Once Jacob and I reached the hideout, I started to pack with Jacob, getting him ready for his task. We packed in silence, we both knew that it was difficult to leave each other.

I walked over to my table and pulled out my sketchbook. I teared out the paper with a sketch of 2 deers in a garden. "Here, when you miss me." I said teasingly, placing the folded sketch into Jacob's pocket.

"Oh my sweet sweet Anastasia, I will always miss you when I'm gone." Jacob kissed my hand and twirled me around. "It will always be with me, love." He kissed my cheek playfully, he tickled my neck and I jumped to the other side of the room.

"Ticklish are we?" An evil smirk played across Jacob's face. "Nooo Jacob! Please!" Jacob ran behind me, he carried me and threw me on the bed. "Jacob!" I laughed loudly, Jacob was tickling me on my stomach, Jacob's weight was now on my body, my blouse was now above my breasts showing my skin, our laughter ended by a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Jacob shouted, laying on the bed next to me. Henry walked in, peaking from the door first. "I apologize for the interruption, Anastasia there has been a new task for you. Just some assistance, from you and Evie." His arms were crossed, a small gentle smile played across his lips.

"Of course! Gladly. When do I start?" I got out of bed, sliding my feet into my boots, feeling the warmth of the last time I wore it. "Well, right now." Henry left the room before I could start arguing with him, the time was too late, it was 3 in the morning.

"Damn it Henry!" I cursed under my breath, wearing my cloak quicker. As I started to rush out the door, Jacob grabbed me by the elbow, pulling me back, making me bump to his body. "Make sure you come back to me." He whispered, his breath dancing on my neck. "Of course." I kissed him on the cheek and left.
