Chapter: 35 A Lost Family Member

Chapter: 35 

Serena's POV: 

   Ezio and I were on the rooftops trying to see if we could see my brother. My mother was going the other way with La Volpe next to her side. I look around trying to see if I could find him. Why did he leave? Was it because of my harsh words? Was I too harsh with my brother? Were we both to harsh on him? I wish I could taken back the words that I spoke to him, even though they were true words. I didn't want to push him further away from me. I feel guilty enough for saying those words and now with him gone. My mind was once more chaotic. 

  "He is truly gone, Serena" Ezio murmured softly, bringing me closer to him. He wrap his arms around me as we stood on top of the rooftop.

  I lay my head on Ezio's chest as I felt sicken with guilt and I felt sadness slowly making it's way through me. I should have done something more for my brother, but with everything he put me through. I want everything just to go back to the way it was. My mother and us together once more before all of this madness started to happen. I only wish I done something more... 

   I whispered "Oh Ezio...this is all my fault" 

  "No, it's not, Serena. It's no one's fault. He made a choice on his own and that was leaving us and taking his own path. He'll come back to us sooner than later, love" He whisper rubbing my back soothingly.

*******************************************

   We made it back to the thieves guild as my mother hug me tightly to her and I help her to her room. I close the door once we made it inside and walk with her over to the bed. She sat down on the edge and before I could push her down gently so she could sleep. She made me sit down next to her and hug me once more. My mother's voice was fill with sorrow "Please do not leave me, Serena" 

   "Of course, I won't mother" I reassured her. 

   "Don't leave me like your brother...I can't possibly bear anymore suffering and loss" She spoke and I could hear the helpless in her voice.

   I pull away from her as I wipe her tears as I spoke feeling like I was a lot more older than I original am "I'll always be your daughter, mother. I have my own life to live and so does Antonio. He'll come back to us one day and when he does. We'll have open arms for him. Let him be on his own for a little while, he isn't a kid anymore and I'm not either. We'll still love you for the rest of our lives"

 My mother's eyes went wide as I smile at her and she smile back "You sound like your father...always using those wise words with me. I miss him dearly. I wish he hadn't died from an incurable illiness"

   My insides froze a minute as I thought of my father, but she meant Antonio's father. He was still my father either way. He is better than my father and for that my father will always be my enemy. I murmured feeling a smirk spreading across my lips "Someone had to be wise in stressful situations as this" 

  She gave me a narrow look, but there was a sly smile spreading across her lips. I asked her feeling the question that I had on my tongue begin to push forward "Mother...I wanted to ask you. You didn't want me to become an assassin did you?" 

  My mother was quiet as she look at me before answering softly "Yes...I didn't want you to be an assassin like I did. I wanted you to have a happy life instead of this life, but I'm not mad at all for you choosing this path. Ezio is a good boy for you and he loves you very dearly. I can see that in his eyes and every time he looks at you" 

   "I love him very much, Mother" I whisper grinning at her. 

  "I know you do, Serena" She grins back at me and hug me once again "I'm glad that you have found someone you love dearly. Serena...you have grown into such a beautiful woman" 

**********************************************************

   Night had fallen as my mother was sound asleep and I pull the blanket over her. I exit her room as I let out a quiet sigh. I feel so bad for my mother and with Antonio did what he did. It only cause her even more pain. It made me so angry to think that Antonio just up and left without saying anything to our mother. Why didn't he say anything to her? He never had a problem with her and they always have gotten along. So why didn't he say anything to her? It doesn't make much sense when he just up and disappear on us... 

   I walk down the hallway to where my room is and I enter it as I saw Ezio sleeping on the bed with a peaceful expression on his face. A smile spread across my lips as I shut the door behind me with a soft click. I walk over to him and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed as I look over at him. A smile spread across my lips even more as he stir a little. I chuckle softly before laying down on my side as I gently move a strand of his hair that was in his face. 

   I whisper softly to him feeling my chest swell with emotion "I love you, Ezio"
