His Only (Assassin's Creed Fan Fiction)

The Ball: Part 2

Father comes up to us. I wonder what he wants. Father comes up smiling.

" Father, what is it," I say.

" Well I was just telling some people I know, that you had a beautiful singing voice," father says, " and they want to hear it," I felt my face go pale. I never sang in front of complete strangers. How could he do this, he knows I don't like singing in front of people. I shake my head at my father

" No, I'm not singing in front of them," I say. Father looks at me.

" Come on Emily, it won't be that bad," he says, " I bet Jacob would like to hear it," Jacob shrugs.

" Your not going to leave me alone until I do are you," I say to father. He shakes his head. I sigh, " Fine,"

We walk up to the group of people father mentioned. There were about 10 - 15 people, I guess it won't be that bad. I stand facing the group.

" This is my daughter, Emily, and she will be singing for you," father says. Oh god, how I hated that father did this.

I think of a song, one that my mother taught me. It is sad but very pretty, and I start to sing.

( Song: Safe and Sound by: Taylor Swift, video is above)

I remember tears streaming down your face when I said, " I'll never let you go,"
When all those shadows almost killed your light.
I remember you said, " Don't leave me here alone,"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight.

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window, darling everything's on fire
The war outside our doors keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
When the music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La, la ( La, la)
La, la ( La, la)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La, la ( La, la)
La, la ( La,la)

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, oh, oh.

I stop singing, and everyone claps. I smile a little. I walk back to father and Jacob. Father smiles proudly at me and Jacob kisses my head. Jacob looks at me.

" Emily, I need to go and help Evie with something," Jacob says.

" What do you need to help Evie with?" I ask, a little curious.

" Well it has something to do with a curtain vault," Jacob say, " and that is all you need to know," he says before he walks away. I was a little irritated, that he would not tell me but I just let it go. There will be somethings he will tell me, and there will be other things he won't tell me.
