Chapter: 25 Meeting La Volpe

Chapter: 25

Serena's POV: 

I let out a sigh as I was out of the garden house without disturbing Ezio, which is surprising. Usually, if I move the slightest he is awake in a instant. I continued to pace back and forth as I was trying to come up with a reason that we were being follow and then got ambush. It does not make any sense what so ever. The only thing that it seems to be doing to me right now, is annoying the hell out of me. I want to go and scout around, but I refrain myself from doing so. I know Ezio would not be happy if I did that on my own, but I couldn't help thinking about it. My brother could have been the one to follow us and was trying to talk to me. Until miraculously, we got ambush by the guards for some reason. 

The feeling of dread hasn't lifted from me and I was more nervous than I could ever be. Ezio and I try to come up with a plan, but we couldn't efficiently do it. I lack a few abilities in to accomplish what we need to do. I felt terrible for holding him back from doing so, but I don't know. I don't kill or I don't see the reason in why to kill. I know Ezio had kill the people that he sought out to do, but me. I never had to kill in my life and I had a few scuffles here and there. I remember the scar on my back from that one time from that guy. That guy had left me a battle scar, but I never kill him. 

Do I need to get over that? The fear of ending someone's life? It just doesn't sit well with me of staining my hands with the blood of man that I don't know if could kill or not. I do want revenge and I want him to make him have the most painful death that he will ever known possibly to mankind. I can hardly kill right now. How am I going to accomplish assassinating that man? How am I going to help Ezio in his mission? Something strike me incredibly odd as I realize that I don't fear for my life, but I fear for other people's lives. Now, why would I not think of my own life on the line? 

I don't know why I even thought of it, but I know for sure that I will put my life in front of others. I will risk my own life and not theirs. I will try to protect them instead of trying to let them defend themselves. I could practically hear Ezio right now and he would probably say something like how I have a big heart and not selfish or something on those lines. I must be extremely tired to be thinking about all of this now. I don't even know why my mind has suddenly change to a different topic. 

While I was musing I didn't realize a hand snake out of the garden house and with a hard jerk of my belt that someone had grab. I instantly fell backwards into the garden house and someone had caught me before I could officially hit the ground of the garden house. I look up to see Ezio with a smirk on his face as I asked "Why did you do that for?" 

"Because you should know better than to go out of the garden house...you could have given our hiding spot away. What were you thinking, Serena?" He lost his patience's at the end of his sentence.

"Sorry...Ezio..." I hung my head in disappointment. 

Ezio's arms came around me as he put his head on my shoulder as he let out a sigh that went down my back sending chills up my spine. My cheeks flush red once more as he murmured softly "I'm sorry...Serena. I was worried when you weren't in here with me." 

I stuttered a little caught-off guard, but the thing is I shouldn't even have a guard up against Ezio "I-It's okay...Ezio. I shouldn't have gone out..." 

He continue to hold me as I look behind me at him as he was looking up at me with warmth in those brown eyes of his. He smile "I'm glad to hear that from you, Serena" 

I blush deeply as he chuckle as he let me go as Ezio said "We should get some sleep, Serena. We are in need of it..." 

All I did was nodded and spoke softly "Okay, Ezio"
