Chapter: 24 Feelings, Follow, Ambushed

Chapter: 24

Ezio's POV: 

I woke up to the people below us making a lot of noise like they usually do. I blink a couple of times to fully wake up. I was about to sit up feeling that someone was on my arm and it was quite hard to move around. I look over and down to see Serena sleeping peacefully there on my arm and I forgot that I let her use my arm as a pillow. I move a couple of strands of her hair away from her face as she stir a little. A small chuckle escape from me as I watch her snuggling against my form. This ought to be funny, when she wakes up. 

She stir some more as I look down at her. This woman has shown me so many sides of her and I'm beginning to think she has capture my heart. She is different from any other woman that I have been with. A woman in a mask that I met at a masquerade ball and now a woman standing next to my side in the Assassin's uniform. I whisper softly to her as it was time to get a move on with her mission as I gently shake her shoulder "Serena...it's time to wake up" 

Serena mutter as she hid her face in my side as I chuckle some more and before I could shake her again. She shot up with wide eyes and back up all the way to the other side of the garden house. "Well...good morning to you as well, Serena" I said with a chuckle. 

"Sorry..." She murmured softly as her cheeks flush.

I chuckled "It's okay, Serena"

She smile at me as I smile at her as she let out a slow breath as she suddenly realize that it was morning "Oh...how long was I out? Did I waste our time?" 

I chuckle "No...no...not at all, Serena" 

She let out another sigh of relief as I chuckle some more as I asked "Shall we get moving?" 

Serena nodded her head "Yes, we shall Ezio"

Serena's POV:

We walk down the streets of Florence as we got to the square that was here and I forgot how beautiful Florence was. It's has been such a long time since I have even step foot into Florence again. It was painful to say, but I truly miss being here. I had to leave at such a young age and now look at me. I'm different now... I still want to find out who exactly is the culprit of chasing me out of my town and why my brother told me to stay away from here. I have chosen my own path to follow, but I'm still a little scare of the consequences. 

"Tesoro...if you keep walking any further you're going to run into a wagon full of hay" Ezio call out. 

I jolt out of my thoughts as I look around me seeing that I was going to run into a wagon if I kept going any further like Ezio had said. I look behind me to see Ezio had stop and walk over to me with a concern look on his face. I remember the endearment as I snap "Didn't I tell you multiple of times to not call me that?"

"Well I had to use something to get you out of your thoughts" He chuckle quietly. 

I felt my face flushing from embarrassment as I folded my arms across my chest as I look away from him. Ezio chuckle some more as he brush his hand across my cheek as I froze in my spot. I look over at him to see he had close the distance between us. He murmured once again "So tell me, what's going through that head of yours" 

My eyes narrow slightly as I debate whether or not to let him in on my personal thoughts. After all, I was just going over everything that had happen until this point now. I can't really say why I am. I just know that I am and for some reason. It keeps reminding me of what had happen when I was little. It was like my mind was trying to remember something that it had forgotten and that I needed to remember, but what could it be? Someone wave their hand in my face and I realize that I got lost in my thoughts. "Serena...this is not the time to be lost in your thoughts. Anything can happen at any time. We always have to be on our guard all the time especially coming back here"
