Lost in Time: An Assassin's Creed Fanfic

Chapter 2

As soon as my master dismissed me, I exited his home and sprinted toward the cabin where my family and I stay. The warm sting of tears start to form in my eyes. I'm trying my best to be strong, but this is a time where I just can't. I creek open the old wood door and slowly step in.

"Mother," my voice croaks.

"Oh my gosh, what happened?" My mother pulls me into her slender arms and holds me there until I am ready to let go.

"Mother they...I-I...I ca-can't do this." I try to speak between breaths. At this point the pool of tears has transformed into a river. I begin sobbing into her chest without holding back any emotion.

"I can't do this. I can't do this. I can't do this," I repeat to myself numbly. This is too much to take in. I start to release my grip from my mother's body. I slowly begin sinking to the ground and ball more and more. I hear my mother start to sniffle. She is trying her best to stay strong for my sake, but it won't help now. She knows what is happening. I don't have to say it. She knows that we probably won't see each other again. She knows that there's nothing she can do. I hear footsteps enter the doorway then they suddenly stop.

"Mother, what is happening?" I hear the fear in my brother's voice. This just causes me to ball even harder. Mother pulls me into a hug and my brother joins in trying to fight the tears but fails to do so. I fall asleep in the arms of the people I love with streams of tears falling down my face.

My sleep is disturbed by my body being placed into my not-so-soft bed. My brother's strong arms are still wrapped around me when my eyes flutter open.

"Brother...mother..." Both of them look straight into my sad eyes.

"I'm sorry. I've failed you. It's my fault that this family won't be together anymore. I-"

"Stop." My mother's voice is soft, yet demanding. "There's something that I've been keeping from you two. This isn't your fault, but mine." Both my brother and I exchange confused glances, but our attention quickly focuses back onto Mother.

"You both are half siblings, not full siblings." Mother's eyes shoot down. "You are half Isu." She gestures to me.

I have no words. I feel feeling no feelings. My face shows no emotion. I am simply stunned.

"So, that's why they did a blood test." My voice, yet again, croaks. "They wanted to confirm that I was part Isu."

Mother nods. "I have tried to hide that part of you so we could stay together. I didn't know where you would end up. I didn't want you to be taken away." All of the pieces are finally coming together. "There's nothing I can do to change what has happened. Please just accept who you are, but promise me you will always remember where you came from."

"Yes mother. I promise." I pull her into a hug until my thoughts snap over to my brother who has been quiet this whole time.

"Brother, how are you feeling about all of this?" I ask him nervously. His mouth opens to respond, then closes again. His expression is blank and his thoughts seem to be in another world. There is a short silence. The anticipation eats away at me as I wait for him to speak. I want to hear his thoughts. I want to hear him say something, anything.

"I...I love you, sister. Just always remember that." I pull him into a tight hug. I will definitely miss them.

The crying must've drained my energy because I slept soundly through the night. Morning came faster than I had anticipated it to. I did happen to wake up a bit earlier than my normal routine, so I decide to go spend my last moments with my brother. I take a seat next to him and shake his shoulder lightly. Luckily he's a light sleeper so he instantly wakes up.

"Hello, brother," I whisper so I don't wake mother.

"Hi, sister," he replies back. "Are you alright?"

"I'm as good as I can be. I have accepted what is going to happen. I will just...miss you. You're all I've ever known."

"You'll be fine." My brother puts a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "You're stronger than anyone I've ever known."

"That's only because I've had my big brother by my side the whole time." I smile at him and he returns it. My eyes begin to water.

"Oh come here," my brother says, pulling me into a tight hug. I feel safe in his strong arms. I don't want to leave. I will miss this. I will miss him.

"I love you, brother."

"I love you, sister."

The door creaks open which allows the sun's light to flood our tiny shed that we call home. I see master standing in the entrance.

His deep voice begins to speak, "I see you are still saying your goodbyes. I would like to speak with you for a brief moment and I will allow you to return."

I nod at him, showing that I understand. I rise from my previous kneeling position and step outside into the cool air. Master meets his crystal blue eyes to my amber ones before letting out a sigh.

"I am truly sorry that this is happening to you. My intention was to keep you with your family, but things have come up. I just wanted you to know that I did not sell you. You are a wonderful worker, but you are destined for greater things. You will see that in time. You only have a few moments with your loved ones. Make them count. You are dismissed." Master gives me a sympathetic look. I can tell that his words are genuine.

"Thank you, sir. I appreciate your words." He gives me a quick smile and nod before returning to his own home.

I enter my home and discover that mother is awake. I quickly squeeze her into a long and tight hug.

"Stay strong," my mother tells me.

"I will. You too." I look between my mother and brother. "You two need to take care of each other." They both nod in agreement.

My moments with my family are up before I know it. Master came to retrieve me. Mother and brother are standing outside the entrance to our home while I am standing next to master, who is facing Dr. Gultz.

"Let's get on with this." Dr. Gultz's voice is new to me, but I guess I will get used to it in time. After all, he is my new master so I'll be spending a lot of time in his presence.

Master nods at him and gestures me toward him. I take a few steps before glancing back to my family. Mother is crying in Brother's arms. Brother holds a pained expression, but is staying strong for mother's sake. He waves me goodbye and I return a goodbye look along with a small wave. Dr. Gultz leads me away. The tears are starting to form, but I don't look back. I fear that if I do, I will never be able to let go.

A/N

The second chapter is out, yay! I hope you all like it. I have a bunch of chapters prewritten, but I still need to proofread them and make sure they sound all fancy. I appreciate everyone taking their time to ready my book.

Random question: For those of you that have seen the Assassin's Creed Movie, how did you like it? It was very good, in my opinion.

Feel free to comment. I love comments!
