Lost In Assassin's Creed 3

Chapter 12: Imprisoned

I woke up a little dizzy, an un sure of where I was.  I sat up in the bed I was in I recalled the last thing I remembered.  Running into Benjamin Tallmadge.  I remember he had tried to tell me something but I blacked out in the middle of it.  I looked down at my bare thigh to see it bandaged up, I must have been At the doctors.  I pushed my self out of bed and saw my pants on a chair stitched up and clean.  I put them on along with my robes pulling up my hood, I slid on my hidden blades and boots.  My leg still hurt but I needed to get to Connor.  I came out the door and saw Benjamin he jumped when he saw me.  "I need to find Connor, and I need you to get Achilles out here as soon as possible because Hickey is there too.  Do you know where they took them?"  I asked

"Bridewell prison, I booked you a room at an inn when you finish head ther-"

"Thank you for all you've done but I need to get Connor." I mounted a horse as he gave me directions I had the dark on my side I would be able to find his cell, or at least I hoped.  I rode as fast as I could through the empty streets,  The cool night air was refreshing as it hit my face,   I saw the prison and decided I would start at the top.  I started to scale the wall making my way to the top floor,  I concentrated on the windows, eagle vision kicked in and I looked for the golden glow.  I saw it coming from one of the middle windows on the top floor.  I was trying to keep the wait off my leg as I made my way to the window, Eagle vision turned off and I looked through the bared windows.  I had the cover of night so no one would be able to see me from the outside.  I put my face as close to the widow as I could, and I whistled the way that we would to tell each other  when to strike or who was there.  There was no response so I whistled again, and I heard movement from the cell and out of the dim light I saw Connor's face.  I could barely see his face but I could make out some bruises and cuts.  "Hey." I whispered

"Heather?"

"Yea, are you okay?" I asked

"Yes.  Hickey's been moved to a different cell, but I fear he will be out soon.  I tried to get out with a key one of the other inmates gave me but it did not fit the lock." He explained

"Why would he make a key that does not work?"

"That is what I intend to find out."

"I met up with Benjamin, He is going to bring Achilles to New York.  Because at the moment my notoriety has seen better days, We will come up with a plan to get you out of jail, and get Hickey. I promise I will get you out one way or another."

"Thank you Heather." I felt his fingers lightly brush mine "What happened on the rooftops when you went after the girl, I saw you fall."

I took a deep breath before I answered.  "She threw a knife at me, It hit me in my leg but I'm fine now I assure you that."

He stayed silent and just looked at me.  "The sun will be up soon and I should probably get going. Oh yea and try not to get yourself into a lot of trouble." I smiled

I watched him turn and I climbed down the building I looked up at it once I was on the ground, then turned and mounted my horse and rode towards the Inn.  I avoided the patrols as best I could, when I got to the Inn I tied my horse to the post that was there and gave her a pat on her head. I entered and pulled down my hood, a woman greeted me.  "Can I get you something miss?" She asked

"I have a room rented here." I answered

"Oh yes, Miss...  Heather right?"

"Yes.";

"Follow me." I followed her up the stairs to a room

"Here, we are.  Is there anything else you require?"

"No, that will be all."

She smiled and nodded, I entered my room and closed the door behind me.  I took of my robes placing them over a chair I pulled my hair down and put it back up in a ponytail My hair now when down almost reached my hips I was going to need to cut it soon.   I sat down on the bed taking my gloves off I put my head in my hands.  I lifted my head to see a flash and a woman appear.  Juno. "You're work is far from over. You have done well so far." 

"Explain something to me."

"Of course."

"You said that this was all real, The Assassins, The Templars, and all the characters how can that be."

"You see the maker of your 'game' is an assassin, They gathered forming a code in which only some would be able to decode.  Parts of your government are Templar who sought to see everything buried, hidden from the world.  To put the pieces of this puzzle together and hide the power for them selves to rule over the world.  Now it would be to obvious if they made just that series or put it out first they created a company to hide what they were creating.  Everything they shown through those games happened.  You were one of those who were chosen, who always had doubt and was smart enough to find that code."

"So it's not just me."

"No there are many spread through out time.  The girl you have seen is one of you."

"But she is a Templar."

"All will be revealed in time."

She was gone in an instant, I shook my head and slipped off my boots, blades and all my other weapons.  I blew out the candle I laid down under the covers staring up at the ceiling. I fell asleep I had my nightmare again, I woke with a start I got out of bed and went to the window the sun as just peeking out over the city.  I redid my ponytail and slipped on my gear, I opened my door and left closing it behind me.  I headed down to the first floor where the tavern was to find no one there as expected.  I went out the doors to see the streets starting to get busy the markets just opening.  I picked up an apple at one of them and continued down the street.  I took a bite out of my apple wishing there was more I could do but Connor could handle himself and Achilles was on his way.  I walked down into the square to hear a town crier with a large crowd around him, I got closer listening in just to hear what all the fuss was about.  "Come bare witness to the execution of the assassin who plotted to murder the Patriot Commander, George Washington.  This afternoon The man will be hung for his crimes against the revolution." He held up a picture of the man.  I dropped my apple and felt my eyes widen, It was Connor.  I ran out of the crowd in the direction of the prison, again my leg ached but I continued on.  When I reached The prison I wasted no time, and started climbing the walls, I reached the cell where I last spoke to Connor to find it empty.  "No, no, no" I whispered

I couldn't believe this, I jumped down and ran all the way back to the inn.  I was panting and out of breath entirely, I went inside and ran up to my room pacing.  Where were Achilles and Benjamin? Why are they not here? I took a deep breath and sat on my bed.  "Alright calm down, it will all be fine.  There is nothing to worry about. " I reasured myself although it didn't help much.  We only had until this afternoon, I was praying that Achilles would be here soon.
