Assasin's Creed

Alex:

"Calm down, please. Look, we can't force Dali into this. It will just make her resent him if we do. So I need you to CALM DOWN! Dali will come aroun when shes-"

"Um...hey." Dali said shyly.

"Nice shower?" Alex asked.

Dali nodded. "Was that Ryder? At the door? a moment ago?"

"Yes..." Alex answered hesistantly.

"I think I'll go catch up to him."

"You sure?"

"Yeah." Dali kissed Alex's cheek and rushed out the door.

Dali:

"Hey, Ryder, wait up!" I called as I ran out the door.

He turned, a sad, hurt expression on his face.

"Hey...um...I'm sorry...for freaking out." I apologized.

"Why did you?"

"Hard to explain."

Adilah-

When I left the house unlike the first time. I was walking with crutches. The doctor had told me it was a miricle I was still had the same mind I had before. BUt I thought it was just a curse.

Ryder---

"Alright, when you want to tell me about it I'll listen." He smiled wrapping his arms around her waist and kissed her forehead. "I'm always open to listen to what you say. Ok?" He asked looking her in the eyes.



Velna--

"I'm calm, I just don't want him hurt, and I know you don't want her hurt." She said looking him in the eye. "Ryder is the only family I have left. He raised me."

"I know." ALex replied,

"But Dali is also like your sister. You are looking out for her like I am Ryder." She smiled and kissed his cheek. "Your a good big brother." She laughed walking towards the kitchen.

Dali:

"I know. It's just...I freaked. No big. I'll get over it." hopefully. I added mentally. "Now, how about I fix you something to eat? though, I should warn you, I'm a terrible cook." I grinned.

Alex:

He grinned. "Are you going to fix breakfast? Or do I have to?" He smiled coming up behind her and wrapping her in his arms, kissing her neck. "Though, I think I'd rather eat you."

Velna---

"Are you ever a good boy?" She laughed, "I'm going to cook, unless you cook like my brother. He can cook up a meal to please anyone."


Ryder--

"How about I cook." He grinned kissing her lips. "Velna says I'm pretty good at it. Infact why don't we do something together?"

Alex:

He laughed. "Of course not. what fun would it be to be good?" He grinned. "I'm glad you can cook, because neither Dali nor I can."

Dali:

I nodded. "Okay."

He smiled and kissed me.

"But I must warn you, I'm a horrible cook!"

Ryder--

"That's fine." He smiled kissing the top of her head and pulling her towards the kitchen, "I'll try and teach you a few tricks."


Velna--

"Then I guess it works all around." She smiled mixing some pancake batter together quickly. "Now it is really hard to cook while you have me wrapped in your arms. "

Alex:

He grinned. "But your so delicious. Will you want to practice later? Or would you mind if I run off and practice after breakfast? Old habits are hard to break, and I'm used to practicing in the mornings, but I don't want to hurt you. and I will stay by your side if you want me to!" He really wanted to practice, but he wouldn't leave Velna when she was in pain.

He released her and sat down and watched her gorgeous form. "Have I told you how beautiful you are this morning?" he grinned.

Dali:

I smiled. "Okay, but I'm pretty sure I'll burn anything I touch." I smiled.

He pulled me closer and kissed me. "I love you, you know that, right?"

I bit back tears and tried to answer, but all that came out was a sob.

Velna--

Velna laughed, "I'll practice with you. Don't worry about hurting me." She smiled, "You go easy you'll regret it." She smiled setting a plate of pancakes in front of him then dishing some for herself.


Ryder---

Ryder let her go surprised, "Sorry," He looked her in the eye putting his hands on her upper arms looking her straight in the eye. "I need to know what is ok and what isn't. I don't want to scare or hurt you." He said gently, "I can't live without you, and the last thing I want is to scare you or cross any lines. I'm just happy if I can be in the same room. Lay down the lines and I'll follow them."

Alex:

"Mmmm. Those look yummy. You sure you'll be okay?" he asked worridly.

She laughed. "Stop worrying. I'll be fine. Now eat, before I make you!" she smiled.

"Okay, okay. As long as you sit on my lap!" he grinned.

"Your impossible!"

He laughed and grabbed her, pulling her onto him as she struggled.

Dali:

I bit my lip. "It's...not...you." I said between sobs. "I'm...afrai...you'll..." I couldn't talk. He pulled me to him and held me.

"What?" he asked softly.

"You'll...You'll...leave..." I couldn't continue.

Ryder--

Ryder held her out at arms length again and looked her in the eyes. "I'll never EVER leave you, no matter what happens I would never leave you. What can I do to prove that to you?" He asked wiping tears from her face. "I don't wnat you to worry about it anymore."


Velna--

"Alex!!! You are insane." She laughed, "I can't eat in your lap, and neither can you." She said trying to get up. HE dind't let her though. "Please!" He still didn't. "What do I have to do to get you to let me go?"

Dali:

I tried to smile, it didn't work. What if it happened again? What if he took advantage of me? What if it was like all the other guys I knew? I cried harder. I couldn't help it! He was the only guy I had ever loved. What if he left? It would hurt far more than any other guy did.

Alex:

He laughed. "I don't want to let you go." he grinned and hugged her closer, kissing anything he could reach.

She swatted at him, but he grabbed her closer, binding her with his arms.

"ALEX!" she complained, squirming.

He laughed and kissed her wherever he could.

Adilah-

I stood thier alone. At the market. Days had past and I needed something desparettly to keep me entertianed. Most of the time I spent being alone.

Today I needed to get food.

Dali:

It hadn't gotten better. Even though it had been weeks, I was still scared. I couldn't stand being hurt. It would be worse to get my heart broken than it would be to go back to what I used to be: a cold heartless monster. So, while everyone was sleeping, I packed my stuff and left.

***

Wondering down dark allyways at night was never a good thing, but I didn't really care. I heard voices coming from a local tavern. Several guys stumbled out, making loud noises. One of them spotted me.

"Well, hello, gorgeous. what brings a girl like you out alone on this fine evening?"

I just looked at him, not caring. He smiled. Rough hands gripped me, touching, feeling, teasing. My clothes were riped off. I screamed, but only because it hurt. I was silenced with a kiss that tasted like too much alcohol.

When they were done, they left me. I curled up into a ball and cried myself to sleep.

Alex:

He woke up with the sense that something was wrong. He could still feel Velna in his arms. she was safe. So, what was wrong?

Dali? He got up and got dressed. Velna woke up grogily.

"What's wrong?" she mumbled.

"I don't know." Alex rushed over to Ryder's, Velna tagging along.

He banged on the door. no one answered. "Is your brother a heavy sleeper?" he asked. she nodded. He kicked open the door and barged into Ryder's room. No Dali.
He heard Ryder asking what was wrong as Alex rushed into all the remaining rooms, frantic now. Still no Dali.

He ran back to his house, two sets of feet following him. He checked every room. "Search the brotherhood!" They split up.

***

Hours later they met back together.

"Did you find anything?" Alex practically begged.

"No, we didn't." Velna answered.

Ryder looked green.

Alex was upset. "What did you do to her?" He demanded of Ryder. he knew it wasn't Ryder's fault and that he was just upset and taking it out on someone, but he didn't care. "What did you do?!" he demanded again.

"Calm down." Velna begged.

"You want me to be CALM?! MY SISTER IS GONE! How am I supposed to be calm?! No telling what's happened to her!"

Ryder---


"I DIDN"T DO ANYTHING TO HER!!!" Ryder yelled. "She was asleep last night, she's been really distant lately. I don't know why." Ryder wanted to cry, he ran a hand through his hair. "Where would she be?" He asked


Velna--

Velna didn't know what to do. "She isn't in the brotherhood, we can go to surronding towns." She said, "I'll go north." She turned and took off at a run ignoring any protest. She had to help Dali and hope she could help Ryder.
