Hooded Assassin [Assassins Creed Black Flag]

Prologue

Third POV

"Daddy what are you doing?", a small girl asked sleepily as her dad woke her up in the middle of the night. "Nothing my little one its fine, we are just going to see Uncle Robert. He wants to give you something.", her father said softly as he wrapped her in blankets and picked her up, holding her close to his chest as he made his way through the streets of London.

"Like a surprise!", the young girl asked excitedly as they neared her Uncle Robert's home. "Yes, like a surprise.", her father said sadly as he smiled at me. "Why are you so sad?", she asked curiously as she reached a small hand to his cheek. "No reason my dear. I'm just tired.", the man softly told his daughter, the lie obvious. "Okay.", the young girl said as she snuggled into her father's chest.

He simply smiled down at his little angel, "It's all okay my little one, you shall be better than ever once we are finished.". The young girl gave no reply as her eyes fluttered and she fell asleep. Her father stared at her a second more before walking into the courtyard of a large house and knocking on the door. A man opened the door and smiled widely as he saw the pair, "Come in, Come in! Are we ready to begin?", he asked excitedly as he motioned them into his home.

"I believe we are, but-", the father began, only for the man to interrupt him, "But What? You knew the risks and you agreed, if anything happens it will be because of your own actions. You agreed to this. Now, did you bring the artifact?". The father nodded and set his daughter on the nearby couch and reached into his coat with a heavily gloved hand, pulling out a necklace with a large ruby attached to it, the ruby gleamed in the dark and gave off a soft glow. "Great! Then we are ready to begin, lets go downstairs", the man said as he opened a door and motioned the father to pick up his daughter and join him.

The father sighed and picked his daughter back up, her soft blue eyes looking at him as they went downstairs . "Father where are we?", she asked as she moved a strand of her light blonde hair. "We are at Uncle Robert's house, he has a surprise for you.", the father said softly. "Oh! What's the surprise? Will I like it?", she asked excitedly as her father chuckled at her antics and set her in a chair. "You might. ", he said softly as her uncle began strapping her to the chair. Her father turned his back, not wanting to see the next part. "Father what's going on?", her voice was more panicked as she was strapped to the chair, and she desperately began struggling.

"Calm down little one. Your father knows what's going on. Just relax.", her uncle said soothingly. The girl nodded as tears formed in her eyes as her ability to move was taken away. She was looking around, noticing things she had never seen before, and then the cold ruby was placed around her neck. Her eyes widened and she began panting heavily. 'This isn't natural, this is wrong, why do I feel like this, why is my father letting this happen', she thought desperately as a pain shot through her body, stealing her breath, stealing her ability to scream. Her eyes were opened as she desperately looked to her father and uncle, they both wore the faces of maniacs as she sat there in silent agony, begging with her eyes for them to help her.

Their mouths moved, yet there was no noise, only silence, and the searing pain she felt, her body was on fire and she couldn't do anything about it. Soon though she found her voice and with it came her screams, loud and pain filled resembling the noise of a tortured animal. Her body convulsed, trying to curl into itself, her eyes closing tightly as she willed herself to try and forget. Soon though she could hear voices, "She is acting well, she might be the first survivor. It's a wonder she's going so strong, but I could do without the screams.", her uncle's voice rang inside her head. Her father's words were jumbled and she heard nothing else as her body finally gave out, her vision blackening.

A/N

Hello Everybody! I wanted to say thank you for reading, now if you want to know why I replaced the first chapter it was because to get my character to really be understood I needed to write a backstory, and not just a vague one but a really detailed one so here it is. This chapter is actually a lot shorter than a normal chapter but it was more a filler just to give a vague idea of my characters past. I hope you don't mind thank you!
