Assassin x Reader

Altaïr x Reader {1} Part Two

Peace soon ensued after the war,I soon became a Master Assassin and Darim soon followed after. Altaïr built a secret library that me and Darim only knew. Our father made books about the Codex,the Apple,and many secrets that I don't even know,and bother to learn. Altaïr still acknowledged me as his child,and he is also proud that I have sincerely followed his footsteps ever since he agreed to be in my life. I am also proud,because I have a father that I never had.

----//////----

The Polo brothers,Niccolò and Maffeo Polo have returned,because Altaïr have requested for their presences. I quietly became worried,seeing that the Mongols will soon attack and the Polo brothers will have to escape quickly before they're killed. Altaïr handed the Codex to them,and relied for them to spread the teachings of the Assassin Order. Altaïr and I-I volunteered-to escort both siblings out of Masyaf quickly and safely. After we did,we returned to the Masyaf castle. We met Darim outside,and he was confused why we came back with bloodstained clothing.

I made sure that the people are evacuated from the Masyaf castle,and I went back to where Altaïr and Darim was. I was confused when I didn't see them,assuming that they went to the library our father made. I descended,and I see that Darim sadly made his way outside,with Altaïr seated on his chair with a Seal on his hand. It glowed slightly,and then I see Altaïr move his head to look at me weakly. "My child...come here please..." He coughed,age finally settling within him and you smiled weakly. You approached him,kneeling in front of him and slightly bowed. Your (e/c) eyes remained on his shoes,biting your lower lips to not let your sobs escape.

"Father..." You quietly whispered,trying your best to keep your tears at bay. "My child,I am...so proud of you. My time has come...after all the years filled with blood and tears. I yearned that you will become an amazing Assassin after me...and you did. After I took you in,I knew great opportunities will come for you. You have...become someone whom I could depend on...but most of all,you have become someone whom I love the most. You are my child,even if we aren't in the same blood. I am so happy to see you like this,just like Darim."

"This will be farewell,my child...But I have a final request for you...before I go." You nodded eagerly,a lone tear shed and he patted your head softly. "Sing to me one last time,my dear nightingale. For once I am gone,I will still remember your melody even in the depths of hell."

You weeped,standing up and went beside him. He rested his head on the back rest of his chair,closing his eyes and gripped the Seal a bit tightly. You softly put your hand on top of his hand,caressing the wrinkled skin and sang his favorite song. He couldn't sing along,like what he used to do when you two are alone on your room. You would giggle if his voice wavered into a different note. But now,this will be the last time he will listen to you sing. He clasped your hand with his,squeezing it a bit and then loosing his grip slowly.

One by one,tears fell from your eyes and stream down to your cheeks. Your loud sobs and your quiet serenade filled the room,a devastating atmosphere clouding the room it made your heart throb painfully. He looked like he fell into a deep slumber,and it made your fall on to your knees and cry even louder. You felt your heart breaking,begging the heavens above to let him live again. It was unfair,you felt like everything has crashed down.

Darim called you,and you couldn't answer back. You weakly stumbled to your knees,unsheating your hidden blade and pointed it to your throat. The pain you felt was unbearable,you wanted it all to stop. This was the only way to let everything go. Stop!

"Stop! (Y/n)!" You looked to see Darim run towards you,his face contorting into a panicked expression when he saw your blade directing to your throat. "Don't do it,please!" He pleaded,approaching towards you and frowned. His eyes became glossy,witnessing almost four of his family fade away from his life. His brother,his mother,his father,then you.

"(Y/n),please...I don't want to lose anyone anymore. Don't you realize that I have lost almost everyone in my life already?!" He shouted,tears escaping from his eyes and you stilled. "Father would never appreciate you taking your life away. He was proud of you,(y/n). Even if you aren't really his child,he still considered you as one of his family. I also do."

"What would Father say when he sees you like this? After everything you have worked hard for,after everything Father planned for you,after everything that has happened. Do you just plan to let everything go?" You dropped your knees to the ground,sheating your blades and cried on your hands. Darim embraced you,hushing your cries of agony and comforted you the best he can.

Father would not like it. But he was my everything. He was everything that I really needed in my life.

He gave me love,he gave me a life I wanted,he gave me gifts that I appreciate,he gave me everything that I need.

But physical and mental gifts are just things. He himself is the only one I need. A father.

But what a beggar stays a beggar. I lose what I love,that's what happens.

It's unfair.

But things happen for a reason,he said that.

So I cling to it,just like what I happened to do to him from the start.

If I just do that,I would never have to lose him.

Never.

This is also a message for the ones who are lost,those who lost someone who they love in their life,those who wanted to ease the pain by choosing the easy way possible. I know that in this long one-shot,it somehow triggers something that might question ourselves about our life.

But think of this,how did you arrive into someone like you? Did someone change your life? Did someone motivate you to be the person who you really are? If someone did,thank that person. Don't push him or her away,think about it.

Please don't hate. If there are people who don't really do something like this,then I'm sorry. It's okay,because I just want to help.

I'm not only a writer here in Wattpad,but I am also a friend of a lot of people. Some people I know do something like this,and I also know there are lots of people who are like that as well. I somehow wanted to give a message to some people who self harm. And this is the only way I could do it.

I am talking to you as a friend,not someone who forces you to stop. I am just saying that think about it. Think about what you will do,and the consequences of it. And also remember...

Everything happens for a reason. God said that,and He still does. To all of us.

Thank you for listening to my rant. I'm sorry if it's long and emotional. If you want to talk to me,just message me in my profile. I also give advice (try,that's a keyword),and I also encourage you to spread the word. I know that this isn't an awareness day. But I just want you to do it. You could save someone,after all.
