National Treasure

The Broken Dreams.

Skylar's pov
I walked down the stairs after sending a letter to the Mentors about Lee when the kitchen phone goes off and since I'm the closest I decide to get it cause why not.

"I'LL GET IT!" I yelled and went over and answered it since no-one walked into the kitchen.

"Hello?" I ask when I picked it up there was shuffling noises for a moment before someone answered.

"I'm coming to drop Jacob and Evie off cause I'm not dealing with them cause all they do is whine about wanting to be with their so called brothers and sisters" a female voice says then just as fast as she says it she hangs up leaving me shocked for a moment.

"Bitch" I say then I place the phone on it's charger and start thinking about what she said.

"Who?" I whip around and see Dad I sigh annoyed.

"Mom" I say he gives me a confused look but then after a moment it turns into a understanding look.

"She's sending Jacob and Evie over" I say and he sighs thinking what I was thinking.

"They don't deserve this life" he says I nod then I remembered something from earlier.

I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL ALEX!!!!" I yelled and ran into the living room, Arno was sitting on the couch and the painkillers were gone and the glass was empty, and when Arno saw me he goes wide eyed and runs out of the house with a slight limp. I chased after him.

"MERCY!!" He yelled as he ran past the others with me on his heels.

"Welcome to the Demeter household" I hear my dad say as I ran past him.

*20 minutes later*

I checked the time with the clock on the wall since I had decided to stop chasing Arno.

'10:30 pm'

It's late...and I have work to do tomorrow I should head to bed to get sleep. Arno helped everyone to the guest rooms while I went upstairs to my room and hopped into my bed and drifted off to sleep pretty easily.

*dream world*

"Mom! Please take Jacob and Evie with you" a young dark brown haired child begged a older dark brown haired woman.

"Why your father can care for them he can clearly do it for you and Arno" the older woman snapped the younger flinched since she wanted to not anger the older woman.

"We don't want him to live this life" the younger one said her forest green eyes held tears and the older woman sighs not liking seeing her child cry.

"Fine I'll take them" she says the younger smiles.

"Thanks mom!" The younger says hugging the older that causes the older to smile as the younger one leaves.

*real world*

I shot up from bed and looked around for a moment before deciding that at least it wasn't a nightmare then I looked at the clock on my wall.

'7:00 am'

At least I got a good amount of sleep. Then I looked at the window when I hear a small sound and see a pigeon with paper tied around it's leg. I got up from the bed and opened the window and grabbed the paper unrolling it to read it.

'Skylar,
Mark Spencer, a man- no a Templar that needs to be killed in order for our plans to move forward and thank you for killing Adam and we thought about and we will keep an eye out but we believe you got him.
-Ezio. A.'

I sighed and took the paper that had the mission and checked his location and he's near here a quick ride on horseback through the woods outback and I'll be there. Jacob and Evie would have to live this life...waking up early and making quick decisions. I went to the basement and grabbed my best daggers and some money, just in case I need it, then I went upstairs and shooed the pigeon away then I jumped out the window in case anyone else was up and just barely grabbed the tree branch then I safely dropped and landed on the ground then I went to the stable and found 'Nightingale' my female horse sleeping.

"Hey girl" I whisper to her she wakes up when I grab her saddle.

*after setting up*

I opened her stall and she walked out I hopped onto the saddle she walked towards the woods in the back.

"Let's go girl" I mumble and we left as quick as she could. Jacob and Evie would learn all this too...I need to stop thinking about that and focus on the mission. Soon a city came into view I sighed and noticed some other assassins horses...a lot of targets must be in this town.

"Time to do this" I say to no-one then I put Nightingale with the other horses then I walked into town when I hear a male voice.

"JOIN MARK SPENCER FOR A PARTY FOR THE CITY IN A FEW MINUTES!" A male yelled on the corner I go up to him and pull out a bag of coins and hand it to them he looks confused before taking it.

"Where?" I ask as he counted the money while I kept an eye out for Templars then he looked up at me.

"In the courtyard" he responds pointing to a house that has both a big courtyard and no cameras. I nod then go to a rooftop and saw the courtyard the crier was talking about I walked over still on the roof and saw no guards at the gate. I smiled and walked in and looked around trying to find my target which was harder then I thought it would be.

"PEOPLE OF MY CITY-" a male voice starts I turn towards him and see Mark Spencer! I push through the crowd that has gathered around him but I zone what he's saying out which I probably should've been listening to.

"LET THE PARTY BEGIN!" He finishes whatever he was saying then I go up behind him and stab him with the dagger in my hand.

"Rest in peace" I whisper and wipe the feather from the pigeon over some of his blood then I run and some guards chase after me.

"NIGHTINGALE!" I yelled when I reached outside of the city. She ran over to me and I hopped on with out either of us stopping and we ran half-way home I lost them...Jacob and Evie would learn this too.

"Come on girl let's go home" I said then we rode home. When we got there I put her in her stall and took her saddle and stuff off and putting it away, I had also gave her and Arno's horse food and water, then I went to my front door cause it looked like everyone was still asleep but when I opened the door there was Mercedes playing with a ball of yarn like a cat then she stared at me I hid the feather in my sleeve.
