Living In The Shadows

Chapter 6

I was awoken again by Vidic and Lucy. I skipped yet another breakfast and walked slowly to the Animus, making sure my hood was obscuring my face at all times. I wanted to talk to Desmond, but he was not allowed in the same room as me, but I could talk to his ancestor, so I put up less of a fight to get in the Animus, knowing I could see him. My world turned to white and I could suddenly feel myself becoming someone else.

Florence, Italy, 1477. Adriano's point of view.

I met with that man again, the one who was wearing a hood. I haven't been given any. Only yet, but Papa said give it time and this job will pay its due. They actually forked out for medicine for Mama and she's starting to look better, but only time will tell if she'll make a full recovery.

I had recently been given my own outfit, much like the hooded mans. He told me his name was Ezio Auditore, and he was the son of a noble person ,but he got wrongly killed, along with his two brothers. He sounded like he had a sad life too, so I began to sympathise with him. I put on my outfit, and fitted the weapons into the right places, before putting my hood on over my head, obscuring my face from public view.

I headed out the house to the stronghold, as it was known. Ezio had some training for me to complete before I was allowed on my first assignment. It was my fighting skills. I met him in the courtyard and he handed me a practise sword. It was made Fromm some wood and it made me feel like I was a four year old child playing with his Papas war weapons. "We shall start with movement of the body and how it flow with the sword.

After hours of learning everything, I was given my first assignment: assassinate the main guard to the city gates. This would mean Ezio would be allowed to leave this place, which he said he desperately needed to. Ezio walked with me for a little bit, until we spotted the main guard. Ezio started walking to a small bench nearby so he could see what I was doing. I placed myself near a tree, so that I remained hidden, and casually distracted the other guard with some money I threw down the street. This meant that the main guard was now alone, and a lot easier to assassinate. I got my weapon of choice, throwing knives, and I slowly edged closer to the main guard,I until I was within a good range, but suddenly, I felt someone grab the knife out of my hand. I quickly turned. The other guards had returned, but with reinforcements. I pulled out my sword, and so did the other ten guards, who all had smug looks on their faces, almost as if they knew they would beat me. How wrong they'd find themselves to be. I quickly launched my attack on them, easily tearing their defence apart and slashing through their bodies. The main guard had saw what was happening and quickly turned up. I wouldn't be able to assassinate him, but at least I could now get rid of him. Throwing knives would be useless here, and my sword was knocked out of my hand. That left me with only one other weapon. The hidden blades. I pulled them from their hiding places and started to fight the main guard Nehemiah have looked thought, but he was no match. I finished him of quickly and then looted the body so I could buy the medicine. There wasn't much, but it was enough.

Abstergo Industries, 2014. Jamie's point of view

I was quickly pulled out of the Animus by Lucy. "There's a problem going on in the Animus that could leave you brain dead, so I needed to pull you put, sorry". She said. I was escorted back to my room by guards. I got the pen out of it's hiding place and then got some paper and began to write to Theo. 'it's jamie. I don't know where I am , but I think it's a place called Abstergo, run by Templars. I am safe, but I am being used in this device thing called the Animus. I don't know why. Please come and rescue me. I'm scared'. I put the pen back and started to think 'will I ever leave this place, or is this where I wind up for the rest of my days?'

Wow! Adriano is good at fighting! If you want to see more of him, just let me know! I'm also sorry is one so a bit shorter than usual, but I'm just getting back in the cycle.

'Adopted by my saviours' should be updated tomorrow, or the day after!
