‘I can’t breathe I'm suffocating wake up. WAKE UP!’ my mind screamed at me. I tried to breath but instead smoke filled my lungs causing me to cough and wake up from the lack of fresh air. I tried to focus and as soon as I did lily ran up to me shaking with fear. A large fire was engulfing our home with everyone in it. My mother let out a shrill but long scream. Blood could be seen it belonged to my father and I knew it since I saw his lifeless body in the corridor. Next I heard the crying of an infant… AIDEN!!! I quickly got up and I tried to get past the fire that has started burning the door frame. I tried to get out but I could not even if I tried, “TRISHKA! LILY! RUN IT’S TOO LATE JUST RUN!” Those words broke my heart and I can tell it broke my sister’s too because tears started to steam down her face. I took my sisters hand and then I looked at the corridor were I heard my mother’s voice and yelled, “WE LOVE ALL OF YOU, YOU ARE ALL IN OUR HEART TILL OUR DEATH ARRIVES AND WE WILL BE REUNITED ONCE AGAIN, WE PROMISE!!” as soon as I said that I ran towards a window crashing through it and falling into the cool canal water underneath our window. Lily was the first to rise to the surface while o took my time. People quickly came to our aid. I mean who wouldn’t we were only 13 and they didn’t realize that we were assassins. Once we got on dry land my sister burst into tears looking at the ruins of our house. Now I knew why we had the dreams. I promised myself that no matter how much I wanted to cry I wouldn’t I had to be strong, just for them and my sister. My sister then stood up and ran to god knows were. “LILY!!’ I yelled out hoping that she might stop but she kept going. I ran after her but she kept going, “Leave me alone Trishka I just feel we should go our separate ways, I need to recover please sister!” with that my legs refused to move anymore and I stood there thinking that I was the one who cause her all this pain when in reality it was only the loose of those close to us that had her in this state. I was about to break down, my knees shook and my throat burned. I truly knew that I was about to cry but I held it in the best I could. My heart had shattered in to a million pieces because of my stupid illusion that I was the one who caused this I knew that the 5 men from earlier weren’t the cause of this. It would make themselves to obvious it had to be the Templars. Yes the Templars were the cause of this I know realized because I saw a man with the Templar cross on his back when lily and I came bursting through the window. Soon enough I rose back on my feet, I was frightened. Not because of the fact that the Templars did this but because I felt truly alone in this world like the biggest part of me turned to dust and was blown away in the wind never to be seen again by human eyes. “Trishka is that you?” said an unfamiliar voice which caused me to jump at the certain mention of my name but I looked at the man who I assumed called my name. “Yes?” I asked more in a questioning tone the assertive. His eyes widened and he gave me a gently hug that calmed me. “Oh mi dio you are alive. Are you okay? Where is your sister?” I wanted to respond but the only thing that left my lips was, “Who are you?” he looked at me then smile, “perdonami I am Leonardo da Vinci I have met with your father and he has told me a lot about you and I saw you once or twice through the window in my shop” well that explained a lot. “So will you please answer my questions?” he said with a smile on his face, “I am fine and well…my sister has run off somewhere but…I know not where.” Once I told him that his smile went away and he hugged me and told me to go to his shop with him so I can have a home and rest. I told him that I wanted to become an assassin so I could hunt down the people who had ruined my once perfect family.
