National Treasure

Freedom?

Skylar's pov
Katie quickly drove out of the city I go over to the window and open it. Then I lean out and throw one of my throwing knives and cut one of their tires slowing them down a little bit but not to much. Katie kept driving towards city bounds not having anywhere else to go then once we were far enough from the city I went to pull out my gun but they beat me by pulling out their guns and shooting out our back tires which caused the van to drag which made us start to slow down. I mentally panicked before calming down and coming up with a plan.

"Shit...ok drive into that field right there!" I demanded at Katie everyone looked confused but she nodded and did it anyway speaking as no-one else had any other ideas that sounded better. When she did it due to our back tires being blown out the van flipped and broke the front doors and the back doors doors and they wouldn't open but luckily the door on the trunk was able to be opened so I kicked open the trunk door and crawled out.

"Come on!" I snapped which snaps them all out of whatever trance they were in and they all start crawling out Arno grabs the Declaration and once we all got out we started running through the field then out of the quietness I heard a single loud gunshot from behind us. I turn around to see what it was just in time to see Arno throw me the Declaration I quickly caught it and went to help him up while he withered around in pain from the gunshot wound on his leg. He quickly fought through the pain and used one of his throwing knives to dig the bullet out.

"End of the line assassin" Charles Lee growled as he walked over I stood my ground in front of Arno ready to fight all of these guys if needed even if I got shot, as he raised his gun I closed my eyes and mentally thought how this field looked familiar, as another gunshot went off this time behind us once again...I peek open my eye and saw I was fine and so was everyone else but the Templars were backing off which was confusing.

"Get the hell away from my kids Lee!" I hear a familiar male voice say and the Templars glare but run off and I see Lee turn around and me and him hold eye contact as he drives away. I stay still watching their van as it drives off before I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"S-Lexi! Alex! Are you two ok?" The voice asks, remembering our fake names, my ears still slightly ringing from the gunshots but even through that I recognize that voice kind of hard not to.

"No Alex got shot..." I said trailing off putting the container that the Declaration was in on my back. Then dad turns around, putting the gun on his back, and helped me help Arno up as he groans in pain as blood seeps down his leg. I look Arno in the eyes and nod signaling it was ok for him to pass out which he gives me a weak smile for and proceeds to pass out.

"Alright kiddos follow me and I'll give you a place to stay for now...unless they make us move" he says, I look forward wondering how the Mentor would react to knowing that the Templars and their leader not only almost found our house but left alive and almost was able to take the Declaration, as me and him help Arno to the house they nod and we all leave them following behind us quietly.

*at the house*

"Ok so here's our bag of normal clothes, take turns changing into the bathroom over there" I say they nod and line up at the bathroom door while I walk over to my dad over in the living room door frame ignoring my outfit as I could just change in my room.

"That it?" He whispers pointing to the container that I leaned against the couch that Arno was laying on I nod and cross my arms.

"Yeah we had some issues at the beginning with...Adam I killed him Traitor Adam is no longer alive so no-one has to look for him but I told Mentor Connor saying someone probably should just in case and the other people helped and we haven't tested anything" I whisper back he nods looking at a text from Nate probably filling him in. I looked into the living room at Arno who's out cold on the couch with his leg patched up there was some painkillers and a glass of water on the table next to the painkillers.

"He'll live. He's been through worse during training" dad says just loud enough for me to hear it I nod, knowing that he wasn't lying, and watch as the others walk into the room and sit on the chairs in normal clothes then dad looks at me and does a double take.

"Sweetie...what the fuck are you wearing?" He asked me I crossed my arms and glare at Arno feeling the anger from before came back to me. I frown and walk over to the stairs

"Alex made me wear this so he better make it and wake up soon so I can kill him myself" I growl before going up to my room. When I got there I looked around before changing into my hoodie, sweatpants, and fingerless gloves.

Arno's pov
I opened my eyes slowly and saw the group, my house, and...Dad?! 

"Dad?" I ask sitting up he nods and everything flashed through my head wait is Sky ok? Most likely she always was a sneaky bastard...I could beat her in hand to hand as long as we were forced to fight fairly but as soon as she was allowed to play dirty she would win. She's the one that made me learn that not everyone will fight fair most will do anything to survive.
