Chapter 1: First Blood

The sun set over the sea as its little light shimmered over the beach. The clouds turned orange as they slowly moved into obscurity as the darkness began to spread. A star or two had begun to settle in the sky for the night that would come.

I laid in the sand, covered in blood, across me was a white hoodie that was tight and not as baggy as others, and I wore dark jeans. I laid on the sand as my blood ran down my chin from my nose and from my mouth and I also bled from my thigh that had been struck with a tire iron.

"Look at the pathetic man" One of the two Abstergo guards that surrounded me said.

Two Abstergo guards had beaten me after they had spotted me on the beach, but unfortunately for them they had forgot of one of my strongest weapons. My creed says that this weapon is mainly decorative in these days but I had taken the life of two men before with this, and I believe the body count would now rise.

Two leather straps were across my wist that held a leather rectangle tightly again my skin, with the flick of a wrist I could dispense a blade that easily exceeds an inch past my middle finger. The two hadn't noticed my hidden weapon as of yet as they mocked me.

"You should have stayed home" The second Abstergo guard said, extracting a combat knife from his belt.

He held it firmly about to strike me with it, but in an instant I shocked him by swinging out my arm and knocking his knife from his hand. Using my good leg I jolted myself up and into his gut, launching my blade through his skin and meat, causing blood to quickly squirt out onto my clothing. In this mere second I had severely wounded this man and stunned the other from pure shock.

The other panicked as my eyes locked onto him. I stepped out and swung out my arm yet again, slicing the blade across his opened throat and causing the drips of red to fly into the sky as he fell back into the sand.

Two corpses now laid next to me, the other had bled out quickly. I retracted my blade ran my arm across my neck and flick my wrist forward to allow for my hood to drape over my head again, the beak concealing my identity with the shadows.

I had little time on my mission left before nightfall, where my target would escape and begin to transport the cannabis to Santiago.

I began to move forth across the beach to where my target would be, moving slowly I was because of my wound. I had manoeuvred past the large Abstergo patrol that was stationed before the Beach entry and just then I had dealt with patrol that ran up and down the beach line. Now I was on my way to eliminate Carlos Montenegro.

I moved with much haste despite my wound, even allowing Carlos to make it to La Serena would mean I had failed the mission.

I saw the truck stationed on the sand next to Carlos' beach hut where Abstergo guards were beginning to load the cannabis on. Only three guards were loading as Carlos watched them move from his hut to the truck. Before the truck was a guard on foot patrolling his area.

I began to crouch with my movement to take on the guard stationed on the beach, he had body armour and was armed with a sniper rifle so attacking head on would be fatal. As I crept up behind him I extended my blade and then I pounced. I jolted up and crossed my arm around his throat and impaled his spine with the hidden blade before quickly dropping him to the ground and obtaining his sniper rifle.

I began to move with stealth as I closed in on Carlos' hut. I made it and brushed up again the wall with the sniper rifle. I then aimed out and using my eye I spotted Carlos waiting for the cannabis to be loaded and the Abstergo guards loading it. I aimed down my scope and waited as they placed down the last cannabis, there they stood for a second giving me time to open fire on them.

I quickly pressed down the trigger releasing a bullet that flew across the sad and past Carlos and struck the truck's fuel tank and pierced the flammable fuel.

BOOM!

The fiery explosion flew debris everywhere, and the explosion itself was enough to kill the three Abstergo guards. Carlos was startled and began to run from the explosion towards me, who was hidden by the side of the wall. I quickly disbanded my rifle and awaited Carlos.

As soon as he ran by I extended my leg causing him to trip over into the sand. I then turned over his body and restrained him. There I held him down by the throat and extended my hidden blade over him.

"You, Assassino!" He panicked.

"Yes Carlos, we would not allow you to strengthen the South American Templars" I tell him.

"I don't care about the Templars, they just allowed me to get my money" Carlos explains.

"Yes, but you were an asset to their plans, every pawn must go" I reply.

"You destroyed all my cannabis, so I'm already a lost cause to the Templars" Carlos says, attempting to beg for mercy.

"I know you can obtain more Carlos. Rest in Peace" I say, firing my hand down and piercing his throat with the blade.

I hear the sound of a gun cocking and turn to see a jeep parked on the sand and three Abstergo guards there and one with a pistol aimed at me.

I stand up, knowing I can't charge them, I put my hands behind my head.

"Smart move" says the one with the gun as he moves forward.

As he moves closer, I put my plan into action. I kick out and hit his gut causing him to drop the gun. I then extend my blade and launch it into his skull and throw his body to the ground. I roll onto the ground and two pull out guns and aim at me. I quickly pick up the pistol and take out the two with two headshots sending them to the ground. I then look up and see the third Abstergo guard charge me and then kicks the gun from my hand and swipes down at me with a combat knife. I grab his hand and then stand up and attempt to stab his face with the hidden blade but he grabs my hand. Thinking fast I knee the combat knife out of his hand and quickly grab it and impale his gut with the knife. He then releases my hand and I fire my knife into his face and then kick out sending him to the ground.

I take a breath after defeating the patrol and retract my blade, then I walk towards the jeep so I can finally escape the scene.
