Chapter 9

Enjoy~ :3

(Disclaimer: i do not own assassins creed!)

The ride to New York was long, and Conner spoke no words to you throughout the entire trip, Your only company was the horses hoofs galloping, on cobble stone streets and the cheerful chatter of passers by, All you could think about was what Haytham would be like, he couldn't be like Conner! ... Could he?

Time to find out, dismounting your horse, you nearly toppled over at the sudden weight transfer, if it wasn't for Conner grabbing you by the waist and pulling your form to his, you just might have thrown yourself on the floor as that is where your tired legs willed to take you. 

You walked with Conner holding you close, you hadn't realized how late it was, the moon hung surrounded with newly forming stars, people had already started lighting oil lamps. you looked around for the infamous Haytham Kenway. who was not where Conner had said he would be.

"Evening Conner ... (Name) i presume, nice to see you accepted my offer" came a voice from behind you, turning arounf you saw a man holding out his hand for you to shake

Wearily you looked him in the eye remembering it was indeed one of his kind that killed your Mother, deciding to decline your hand, he just smirked at you turning his attention back to Conner.

"I see you made it here in one piece" Haytham remarked

"Recovered from your beating then?" Conner said holding such detain in his voice, it made you step back a little, but more to the point what beating?!

Haytham ignored Conner's statement in shame probably, You decided to shuffle away putting a bit of distance between you and their conversation. 

"Of course!" Haytham finished "Wouldn't want to keep you from your lost cause" 

Conner rolled his eyes and started to follow his Father, you in turn followed Conner, deciding it would be best to remain quite for the time being, you followed them over buildings, jumping onto narrow beams only just keeping your balance, to prove to Haytham you could hold your own even if you were looked down upon for being a woman.

Paying more attention to your free running ability's than to the conversation ahead, was probably for the best, it seemed an argument was close to breaking out between the already irritable males, you where happy to only catch the last words of Haytham as he left down the side of the building.

"-I do not fane affection!"

You gave Conner a sympathetic smile and followed him over more buildings, Are we there yet? .. uhg, your feet were getting tired and that meant your performance was beginning to become sloppy, you sighed and glanced ahead at Conner, possibly for some look of praise at how far you had come in free running since he started training you, every effort to get him to notice you was in vain ... you started to wonder if you where really trying with free running to impress Haytham or if you where doing it for Conner?

Conner started climbing down a ladder, 'At last!' you thought breaking from your thoughts, making sure it was safe, you climbed down missing a couple of steps at the bottom jumping off to stand awkwardly beside Haytham.

You all turned to face the tall brick wall that stood between you and your target, 

"Church, you clever bastard" Haytham sighed

This piqued you interests as both you and Conner turned to face him.

"What is it?" Conner asked, obviously as curious as you were

"I was hoping i could wave you past the guards" Haytham started "But he has replaced most of them with men i don't know, Hmmmm. Well i should be able to pass without arousing suspicion, but you...." And with that Haytham started to leave

But Conner grabbed his arm "No.. We do this together or not at all!"

"Then what do you propose?" Haytham asked a little too cocky

"I will find a guard who is off duty and take his uniform." Conner stated

You glared at Conner, never seeing him in anything but his assassin robes, this was going to be quite a shock..

"Very well, i will wait here then!" Haytham said making his way to a bench to wait for his son

"Of course you will!" Said Conner rolling his eyes

"Oh, i'm sorry! would you like me to come along and hold your hand, Perhaps? Provide kind words of encouragement?"

Conner held his hand up and walked away, signaling that he has had enough of his Fathers torment.

You leaned by the wall for a while, before Haytham gestured you to sit next to him by patting the wooden bench. After a moment of hesitation you obliged, and sat next to him, he turned his body slightly to face you, taking in all your features.

"Who would have thought my son would come across a woman as attractive and strong as you, too bad you're an assassin ..."

Taken aback by his compliments you couldn't reply

"I'm glad he has fallen for you, there may be nobody else who can tolerate that boy!" Haytham breathed

"Fallen for me?" You asked

"Oh, It seems you don't know, he told me when we shared idle chit-chat that there was a woman in his life, when i asked who it was, he merely replied with, someone whom i must protect and i asked if i could meet this woman, he didn't want too, but i have a way with persuasion"

Embarrassed and a little astonished at his words you looked at Haytham's face for any signs of a lie, and found none, when Conner came back you thought it best to sink back into the alleyway walls, sliding from the bench.

As Conner walked out of the gloom you stole a quick glace at the clothes he wore, he looked like Haytham, ... even worse he looked like a Templar! .. you cringed at how much it suited him .. Hell Conner could dress up as George - flaming - Washington, and you would still think he looked desirable.

Damn it....

"How are you going to get in (Name)?" Conner said turning away from Haytham

"I'm not." You replied trying not to make eye contact, for fear of blushing

Haytham gave a curt nod, and left, leading Conner behind him, you followed a little behind them towards the doors, and stood where you could hear them.

"Hold strangers!" was all you could make out from the guard, and then Haytham said something you didn't catch, the guard nodding turned his attention to Conner 

"You i recognize" said the guard "Not the savage!"

You were so outraged at the foul laungage being spat at Conner you leapt from your place behind a wall and began to scale the brick wall, as Conner and Haytham went through the doors and you took your place above the guard who had insulted Conner. 'Snick'

But unfortunately it was already to late for the guard as he got a forceful of your hidden blade.

A few moments later when you had finished wiping the scums blood of your blade you heard shouts  and then a huge explosion as the building set on fire, panic rose in your chest and all  you could think about was one thing, ... 'Conner!'
