Chapter: 30 The Rescue

Chapter: 30 

Serena's POV: 

I was sitting there on the bed feeling empty once more as I didn't know what to think. I should be trying to escape from here, but I don't want to try. I just want my brother back. I want everything just to go back to the way it was. Antonio hates me now, for whatever reason. I don't know where my mother is or if she is even alive. My father is dead or...no! Antonio's words can't be true... can they? It's not true...it can't be true that my father wasn't really my father, but another guy is.

The door open and I look over to see a male entering the room and my eyes widen. I felt frozen to the bed as the hooded man came closer to me. I watch his every movement that he made as my heart was beating uncontrollably. I wanted to run away fast, I wanted someone to save me. I felt helpless and I felt scared. I was in my under garments and my wrists were bound, I had no weapons at all. He seem to sense that I was scared as he murmured "I'm not going to hurt you child..."

I narrow my eyes at him "Who are you and what do you want with me?"

"Why my dear...I'm a friend of your father's to throw off those other Assassin's that thought I was your father, but you don't know who your father is. Do you?" He answered while he asked one of his question. 

Now I was curious and I was still scare of what he'll do, but I asked hesitantly "Who is my father?"

"The man that goes by Rodrigo...sounds familiar? I'm sure that Auditore told you everything about him. Am I correct?" He asked stepping closer to me. 

My eyes widen as I remember Ezio explaining that man kill his family along with someone else, that I can't think of right now. My mind is still a little fuzzy making it hard to try and remember anything. I felt paralyzed as I shook my head back and forth "No! My father was Thomas... not him" 

"He didn't want you in the first place... he got your mother pregnant on accident. It was a fling and then she had you" The man said as he added "Why do you think you're so-called brother hates you so much? You're the daughter of the man that terrifies everyone and he knew about him. He has been looking into it and well let's just say we have fill him in on what happen between him and your mother, Serena" The man said with a dark chuckle. 

I felt my anger surfacing as I felt tears pricking at the edge of my eyes. The lump had form in my throat as I hold back the emotions that want to overflow. I will not allow him to see me like this, this man will not know how much it tears me up inside. I lost my brother already and it was thanks to this man that was standing there right there in front of me.  

He pin me down in one motion holding my bind wrists up above my head as I struggle against him. I realized he was pinning down my legs with his knee and it hurts. "You should never let your guard down...dear Serena" 

I scream out "Let me go this instant!" 

Before he could say anything the door burst open and we both look over to see an angry Ezio standing there. He was fuming and he look like an deadly assassin now. The guy on top of me was even scared. I got one of my legs free and knee him hard in his place as he double over and I shove him off of me with a grunt. Ezio went over to him and started to punch him. I sat up and watch in horror as I have never seen this kind of side to Ezio. He was always cool and collective. 

He stop as he was breathing hard and the guy lay on the ground groaning out in pain. He stood up as he came over to me and push my hair away from my face "Are you okay, Serena?" 

I nodded slowly as I stuttered a little "Y-yes...Ezio"

He hug me tightly to him and I couldn't hug him back because of my wrist being bound together. I bury my face into the crook of his neck as I finally let go of my emotions. I was swamp with relief and I was sad. I was feeling so many feelings that I didn't know which one to feel first. He whispered "Never run off again. You will stay by my side and that's final" He was now looking at me.
