Chapter: 21 The Choice

Chapter: 21

Serena's POV:

I was standing in front of my window in the room that I slept in and I was thinking about the choice I didn't make about whether or not to become an Assassin or not. It shouldn't be a hard choice at all, but I couldn't help feeling scare and kept freezing in place whenever I thought about it. What is there to be afraid of? I have lost everything that is dear to me, but I don't know if my mother is alive or not. I don't exactly want to do this, but I don't think I have a choice anymore. After all, I need a path and I have been training non-stop since I got here.

The thing is though I think I'm more afraid of my mother's opinion than anyone else's. If she is alive that is... I can't stop thinking that if I choose to become an Assassin. Is this what my mother wanted me to become? I want to know exactly what had happen in Florence and to find out if she left anything that would help me piece this together. I'm so lost that I don't know. Have I been kept in the dark? Ezio's Uncle knew my mother and my father and is that why he gave me the choice?

I want to find my mother, but I'm scare to take this path. It seems a little intense and to see Ezio in his robes. I don't know what to think and I don't know if choosing my path would be this one. I sat down on the edge of the bed as I gingerly touch my back as I remember the scar there that I got when I first arrive in Venice. It was a short time after I met Marisilia and Andrea. It has been so long ago, that I had forgotten the scar that was on my lower back.

I stood up once more before walking over to the mirror and unzip the back of my dress as I hold the front part of my dress up to conceal my chest. I move my hair to the side as I look at the ugly jagged scar that color my back it was a much lighter shade of tan than my skin as it took a while for it to heal and it turn out like this. 

That unfaithful day as I got into a sword fight with one of the guys that were there as they were making me mad. I lost my temper as I strike out against the guy, but it was a big mistake on my part. At that time, I didn't know I was sword-fighting with a guy that was master at it. I hold my ground against him as best as I could, but I took a wrong spin and he cut me deep on my back. I fell to the ground as my sword skidded away from me. I felt the back of my dress rip away with the deep cut as it begun to seep blood out of it. I was losing a lot of blood as I close my eyes letting myself fall into darkness as he was about to deliver me the final blow. It didn't happen of course, because he show mercy and took off running. I never saw him again... 

Andrea and Marisilia found me later and on the brink of death, but luckily he had save me before I could officially be on death's door. He brought me back to his study as he patch up my wound and actually did stitches and I was there for most of a month or so. It was a while before I could actually do anything and because of that I was stuck laying in Andrea's bed as he nurse me back to full health. I'm sure glad that he had save me, I only wish that I was there to save him. I let out a sigh and muttered "Maybe...becoming an Assassin I can revenge his death and if my mother died as well. Well there is another thing that I can have revenged on and that's my choice" 

I mutter to myself as I pull up my zipper as I thought about how that hooded-man driven my best friend out of Venice and took her parents away from them. He took Andrea and my mother away from me and he even took my brother away from me as well. He has to pay for what he did and I will make him pay for it myself. He will died by the blade in my hand and I will kill that basterd that threaten many lives. He will know the true extent of what fear is... 

There was a knock on the door as I look over to see it open as Ezio pop his head in "My Uncle would like to see you now, Serena" 

I nodded "Okay, Ezio" 

He smile as he hold the door open for me as I smile up at him before passing him on my way out. Ezio close the door before walking beside me down the hallway as I finally came to a conclusion in my mind. That I will stick by and that I will get the revenge that I am after. If I can't get it through this then I will find my own way and deal with that hooded-man myself! I stifled a sigh as I was getting to overwork about it. Easy, Serena. I told myself mentally. 

We made it to his Uncle's study as I enter it and Ezio follow me as well as Uncle Mario lifted his head from what he was doing. He stood up and came to stand in front of his desk as he look at me as I stood in front of him as Ezio stood by his side. "So what will your answer be, Serena?" 

I went a quiet as I thought about my decision that I have been thinking in my head before I came downstairs to Ezio's uncle. My final decision...

"I'm ready to become an Assassin..." I replied with confidence.
