It had now been only a couple of weeks since the Templars had destroyed my life, but thankfully Leonardo had helped me by disguising me as his assistant and well it had been working. I wish I knew how my sister was doing, but there was, unfortunately, no way of knowing. I helped Leonardo with a couple of things that would actually take two people because he would usually make me help him with a one person job, but it was fun to just be able to help out instead of being stuck in a room and told to hide for the rest of my life. He told me that if I had to be an assassin I would have to be determined use every single one of my skills as a benefit to help me get better. He knew that I could fight and that my best way was fighting was just a fist fight. He made me wooden weapon’s train with and when Leonardo had spare time he helped me train by fighting with me, and after a months of training I knew how to counter a lot better and how to disarm easier. Sometimes I would question how he knew to do these things but all he would tell me in response was that he knew some people. By the time we were done with the training I was 14 and decided to go back to my old home see what I could possibly recover from the ruble. I walked along the ruins, Leonardo by my side, as I walked around I saw a room that had been hidden behind the wall I pulled it open and carefully stepped inside my eyes had adjusted to the dark and once I saw it I understood why it was hidden, hidden from everyone who walked in the room. I touched the perfectly intact assassin suit my heart slowly sank as did my body. I sank to the floor my mind replaying the horrific event so precise it scared me. My throat began to burn; my heart ached, every single emotion I kept from the outside world ready to come out in salty tears. Leonardo rushed to my side and looked at what I still to be grasping onto. He realized that I held back everything from prying eyes because I wanted to prove that I was strong just so I could be seen that way to the family…that would have loved me even if I was weak, if I was an embarrassment they would have still loved me. Now I’ve really realized my mistake. Tears poured out of my eyes…I just wanted everything to go back to how it was before. But once we walk through a door it closes and it can no longer be opened again and you are forced to move along no matter how you wanted to go back. He held me close while I cried. He moved my head so I could look at him and he gave me a smile that said ‘you will be just fine it will just take time but no matter what we will reach the end of this and this challenge will be done with’ I smiled back and I wiped the tears away. He helped me stand up and I took the assassin suit that had been there and we went back to his shop. Once there he told me to go put it on and see how it fit, and like an excited little girl who was about to get the best surprise in the world I ran back to my room. I put it on and I might say that it was about one size too big but it did not matter since I would eventually grow into it. I walked out of the room and put the hood on, I knew now that I must take great caution, I mean every single guard in the whole city was looking for me and my sister and I hoped lily would be okay were every she was, but now I need to make people forget the last name of Novak to save the 2 lives that were living by that name. Leonardo looked at me and smiled. He hugged me and explained that he saw a few posters of me and my sister hanging around the city and that I should take them down to help people forget about us. I thanked him and decided to walk out the door and get rid of the posters.
