I layed there... Motionless... My eyes burning from all the crying and resulting in them being dry. What didn't help was the morning sun shining through the uncovered windows and into the dreary and broken room. Groaning, I stood up and gasped. My legs had been folded in the same position all night and now were unaccustomed to standing, obligating me to lean against the animus Korben laid upon. I tried not to look, but my eyes slowly panned across the room and to Korben's body. His breathing was slow and steady, but a wound across his shoulder was bleeding heavily. I picked several cloths with the tips of my finger off the wound since they were soaked in blood. My feet dragged across the ground, shoveling away books and broken glass as I slowly made my way to a nearby sink. Behind the sink stood a mirror with several pieces broken off; there was enough mirror left however to see my face. My eyes and nose were a dark red from the crying. I couldn't bear to look at myself... I turned away and got a new cloth to put onto Korben. I sighed and walked out of the room, looking down the broken and messed up hall. Limping, I continued down the path, seeing doors half broken and windows shattered to pieces. Unfortunately, I cut my foot on a broken piece and winced. I sat there for a while wondering what to do while clenching my cut so it would stop bleeding. My eyes closed and leaned my head against the wall I was leaning on.

What happened?...

I opened my eyes in realization and gasped...

"Maybe.." I said out loud and in horrifying realization," By capturing Rafael, we messed up big time. We informed the Templars that where they sent him was the correct place... and... They came to capture everyone. But.. Why am I still here?"

Immediately, I stood up and ran down the hall towards my room. Throwing the door open, I tore my closet apart after the door to my room slammed into the now fragile wall. Quickly, I found every day clothes: A red tight tank top, khaki colored leggings, sturdy black boots that could withstand any movements I make, and lastly a leather jacket with about 4 pockets on it, two in the normal areas and two smaller pockets towards the top where breast pockets normally are. I put my dark brown hair that was naturally mixed with red up in a high ponytail, my bangs neatly leaning over my forehead. After making my face look decent, I checked on Korben one last time and headed towards Tetril's office. Her office opened with two large ebony doors with golden knobs. Cracking one open, I stepped in to a large room with marble peach walls and a fountain towards the middle of the room. My boots with small heels made noises as I walked around the room towards her desk. Her desk looked as though someone had easily torn it apart with papers scattered all around it. My eyebrows furrowed and I bent down to pick up papers.

Abstergo's address has to be somewhere in these papers...

None. I stood up again and looked around the room.

There has to be a secret compartment then...

Immediately, I ran to the window and pressed around its borders until a clicking noise was produced and the wall beside me opened like a door ever so slightly. Easily, I pressed it forward to reveal a dark hallway that had already lit torches. Stepping forward, I looked down to see a string across the hallway. I smiled slightly and jumped over it, making careful steps as I continued down to a room. The room was made out of wood, but still in tact. Clearly, the Templars hadn't discovered this room. I looked around and in front of me at a distance was a beautiful Assassin trademark gown that was green with brown lining. Beside the mannequin that was holding the robe was a small stand that held her hidden blades.

Hmm... Knowing Madam Tetril...Any secret papers should be...Aha!

I slowly took out a book from a bookcase that leaned against the far wall. Nothing was in there, but when I moved the book out, another clicking noise was made and I lifted the shelf until a latch to the side supported it for me. Inside the secret compartment was a long, beautiful sword that I took with me and papers and , I found a file on Abstergo and acquired its address. I folded the paper quickly and closed the compartment, rushing out of the room and leaving it the way it was before: Looking untouched. Once more, I checked on Korben whose bleeding had stopped. Frustration noises left my mouth and I walked back to my room. The day had gone by quickly and it was now night. I stepped out of the building into the fresh, cold night. The rose maze had been burned to the ground; all that was left was one burnt tree that looked about ready to fall as its partner had done which now lay on the Assassin headquarters. My eyes closed for a moment, moonlight lightning the inside of my eyelids. Walking to the stables, I tacked up the white speckled gray horse, Whirl-Tide, since riding out was the only means of transportation.

I will avenge those that have lost their lives protecting this facility, and bring back my friends. Ohoho those Templars are going to get it.

I pressed my legs into Whirl-Tide's sides and we cantered off into the dead lineage of trees, the only sound audible being my sword hidden in my jacket clinking against my daggers and the horse's hooves pounding against the once friendly ground.
