The Assassin in Volterra

The year was 1497, and the night was dark in the small city in the Italian countryside, and to a black clothed assassin was unnaturally quiet at that time of night. Ezio Auditore, had come to Volterra on a mission to eliminate a man who had crossed the Medici far too many times, but upon hearing about how the Medici's wanted him dead, the man ran southwest to the smaller city of Volterra.

Ezio looked around the city's rooftops, and silently wondered at the lack of guards on the city's rooftops, and the fact that the city was quiet. Maybe he was too used to the many guards of Venezia, or Firenze, but there were not that many guards even upon the ground. There were the occasional brutes and the standard guard, but not even one archer? It almost seemed like the city was not scared of anything happening to its occupants.

A rustle of clothing dropped Ezio quickly out of his musings and with his blade out, whirled around to spot a slip of a dark piece of cloth disappear behind a pillar. Ezio was getting unnerved. Something prowled in the darkness here, something ominous made the air fill with tension. He felt himself being watched.

Ezio kept his blade out and swiftly but surely, ran across the rooftops to where he had heard the target was hiding. And all the while, he felt eyes upon him the whole way there.

There!

Ezio whipped around throwing a dagger, and heard the ripping of clothing, but the assassin also heard the metal of the dagger hitting what sounded like another piece of metal.

" Merda."

Ezio whipped his head from side to side, all the while searching the dark rooftops for this elusive guard that had shadowed him over several rooftops and buildings, while apparently wearing heavy armor, but it couldn't be as big as brute armor, maybe as light as his. This shadow guard wasn't revealing himself even after a dagger had been thrown at him, and Ezio was wondering if he had just hit some metal decorative item on the rooftop. But no, this feeling of being watched, felt like he was being hunted.

Ezio looked down at the courtyard he was overlooking, and spotted a hay pile, and quickly, without hesitation threw himself off the roof. He flipped himself in midair to land on his back and practically threw himself out of the pile to look around.

Ezio heard a sound and looked up. And froze.

There standing upon the roof that he had just thrown himself off of, stood a figure in a black cloak. He couldn't see the figure's eyes, but something about this person sent all his instincts haywire. The option of fight or flee came into mind and something about this person made him want to do something for the first time in his life.

Flee.

But he stood his ground, watching the figure watching him and then the other figure nodded his head, turned and disappeared from the roof.

Ezio let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding as the feeling of being watched disappeared, Ezio turned around in the courtyard and continued on his way to assassinate the man the Medici wanted gone.

Demetri, loyal guard of the Volturi, watched as the man that he had been following across the rooftops walked away from the courtyard. The man had been interesting. Truly the man was extraordinary, as he had been able to sense a vampire, and if indeed Demetri had been human, he would have been dead with a dagger straight to the heart. Demetri then heard faint footsteps walking in his direction, " Demetri."

" Felix. What is it?"

" What are you doing on the roof?"

Demetri looked at the bigger vampire, and then in the direction the man in the black robes had walked away and very faintly grinned, " Felix, for once in my life, I almost felt like turning somebody without the approval of Master Aro."

Felix raised an eyebrow, " Oh? Who was it?"

" I do not know, but I intend to find out." And with that Demetri continued running across the rooftops, and then he smelled that man's scent, but it was a strange scent, the smell of blood lingered on this man, but it wasn't the man's own blood, and the smell of metal blended in with the blood.

Demetri stopped and heard Felix stop also, because they were at another courtyard and the man was once again on the rooftops looking down. Demetri glanced down and spotted a fat looking man in official robes walking in the courtyard, coming nearer to the man on the rooftops, then Demetri spotted three guards walking close to the fat man, and one of the guards was a brute, walking in heavy armor.

" Curse those Medici. I'll kill them for making a fool out of me…" The man continued talking but Demetri tuned him out, he was too busy looking at the man in black robes and strange black looking armor flick his wrist and two sharp daggers popped out from a mechanism strapped to his arm.

What happened next startled not only himself, but Felix as well. The man jumped off the roof, arm out and the fat man dropped to the ground with the robed man's daggers jammed into his neck.

" Holy Shit." Felix muttered.

Demetri could only agree.

" Assassino!" a guard cried out and pulled out his sword and tried to slash at the man, but the robed figure grabbed the man's arm kicked him under his arm, stole the sword and rammed it down onto the man's shoulder slicing threw the guard, killing him. The brute roared at the assassin and put the huge axe in front, guarding himself from the assassin, but the assassin paid no attention to him as he pulled out a dagger from his side and went after the other guard pushing the guard's sword away, grabbed him and stabbed him repeatedly in the chest.

And now, only the brute was left. The huge armored man swore at the assassin, but the assassin only teased the huge man as he put away his dagger, causing the brute to roar as he charged at the assassin swinging up at the assassin, but the assassin grabbed the brute's hands and the axe itself and swiftly rammed his knee into the armored man's stomach grabbing the axe, he stepped back and lifted the huge axe into the air and brought it down into the weak part of the armor near the neck, then with the brute still standing lifted the axe again and pushed him over, the brute was dead before he hit the ground.

The two vampires were still staring amazed at what this one human had done, and in less than ten minutes. He was an excellent fighter, and probably make an even better fighter if he was changed.

" Damn Demetri, if he was one of us, he could probably take you on."

Demetri looked amused, " We don't know all of his skills, but if he were like us, maybe…" Demetri's voice drifted off when the man started climbing up the side of a building, it was practically amazing for a human, and when the robed man got to the top turned around and looked right at him. The man nodded and then ran in the other direction towards the city gates, " He knew we were there all along." Demetri said.

" Should we tell Master Aro?"

" Yes."
