Assassin's Creed: Reunion Of Friends Part 1

(So I just got one beating AC Syndicate and it was pretty damn well done. So this is after the ending of Syndicate and there are spoilers for those who have not seen nor played Syndicate. Hope you enjoy as I continue my OC's story. ^^ )


Shaun and Rebecca just returned back to the hideout with Galina after their battle and confrontation with Isabelle and her Templar agents. Shaun carried Rebecca in his arms as she held her bleeding wound, soon being placed onto the mattress on the floor. Galina lifted her shirt a bitt to examine the wound. "It's not too deep. Give me a set of small tweezers. I'll get it out."


She asked Shaun, who obliged. After he got back, she began her work on Rebecca. Shaun sighed sadly as he heard Rebecca groan and almost scream in pain as Galina started to pull the bullet out of her body. As this was going on, Bishop contacted Shaun and the others. "How is Rebecca doing?" She asked with concern laced in her voice. Shaun watched with a hurt and sad look as he saw Rebecca close her eyes painfully tight. "We're almost done getting the bullet out." Galina responded as the bullet halfway out. "She's bleeding a lot, but applying pressure and bandages to the wound should stop it."

Rebecca gave out one final groan of pain as the bullet came out fully. She rested her head back onto the pillow as she let out deep breaths as she felt her body grow weak and tired. "Tis done." Galina said softly before wrapping the bandages and medicine on the wound. As Rebecca laid there, feeling weak, Shaun says "Everything is fine now. But next time we need to think of a better plan then that."


Bishop was silent for a moment before saying "Yes, I know... Now that everything is okay and you guys are safe, I'll be sending you the plans we retrieved from Isabelle's computer. It's more about the Shroud, but...there's something else I found on her computer too..." Shaun raised an eyebrow at that and said calmly with a confused voice


"What do you mean you "found something else"?" Bishop clicked on random numbers and letters on her computer station before sending the link threw, putting it on Rebecca's laptop. "Look on Bec's laptop. I think it'll be shocking news to you and Bec." Shaun opened up the software and saw a new message from Bishop. He scrolled threw until he found a photo of a familiar dark browned hair girl with bright blue eyes.


The pale skin that he came to know so well after their first encounter at the first Assassin's warehouse. "Isn't this the girl you talked about...? Ezio's student?" Bishop asked. His eyes were wide and full of shock and disbelief as he stared at the screen. This news was most hocking to him and he had to tell Rebecca, but he continued to read. As he read the passage about the girl, he read out loud. "Subject 18: Natalia...Coley..."


Shaun was petrified as he read it all. The blood tests, the exercise tests that seemed too extreme for a human being to handle, but apparently, she bear them all. They were trying to break her, but she was too stubborn to give up information. Strong willed. "Oh my God... She's alive... Rebecca... She's alive!" Rebecca opened her eyes and looked up at Shaun, but flinched at the pain in her side. "What? Who?"


Shaun handed her the laptop and she looked at it. "Natalia... She's alive! She's been alive this whole time and Abstergo is torturing her for information about us! The creed!" Rebecca looked at the screen in disbelief. "Oh my God...Natalia..." She felt tears swell in her eyes as one cascaded down her cheek. "She's been with those bastards for three years now...and we didn't know... Then does that mean..." She paused as she looked up at Shaun and Galina.


"Shaun, we have to save her." "I know, but we don't even know where she is or where is being held at in the building." Rebecca went silent as she looked on her laptop to see. "She's being held here in London. At some sort of facility, but...it's not an Abstergo one. The Templars must be really desperate to hide all their things. We gotta go now before they do another thing with her." Rebecca tried standing up, but her body didn't allow it, causing her to fall back down onto the mattress with a hiss of pain.


"No, your staying here. I'm going." Shaun said directly and demanding, not caring of Rebecca's protests. "I know. She's your friend too, but your wounded for Gods Sakes. Galina, stay here and take care of Rebecca for me please." Galina nodded and stood up. "Yes. I will. But...who's this Natalia Coley?" She asked she raised her eyebrow under her hood. Shaun hesitated for a moment before saying "A 544 year old Grand Master Assassin."


That seemed to shock and surprise Galina, but she nodded nonetheless. "Understood." Shaun nodded. "Alright, Bishop. I need you to give me a route to this base." As Bishop gave him the coordinates, he took off running down the stairs.


(1 hour later. Templar base.)


Natalia sat at the corner of the room, her arms wrapped around herself as her recent cut marks on her arms, legs, and face bled. The others turned into scars or simply went away. Her body was covered in them because of all the tests she was put threw. Her got skinner over the last 3 years and she continued to wear the white sleeveless gown with a short skirt.


She was already use to it, since it was the only thing she was force to wear. She was weak, but she never back down or bow down from them. She never gave out information. She was ready and she never listen to them. Some nights as she slept on the bed or cool floor, she would always remember those memories of her past life before this new one happened. Her freedom life before being in prisoned. The memories of Ezio and Desmond. She wish she could see those two again, especially Desmond. The boy she fell in love with.


She could almost hear their voices. She missed everything and she should have enjoyed those precious moments instead of wasting them on being serious all the time. Natalia didn't cry anymore. All her tears dried up long ago since Desmond's death. The white glass doors opened to her white cell and it startled her, but she didn't look up. "Miss Coley, we're ready for you." A tall man said as he inside to collect her. She didn't move, she continued to sit, her face emotionless like all the life was drained from her. Her short dark brown hair in her face.


The man let out an annoyed sigh as he pulled on her arm. "Come on, you beast." He said harshly, but was cut off by the alarm going off. "Oh, what the hell now?" He letted go of her am as he made his way back out of the room before closing the doors to her white prison. Moments after he left, Natalia looked up slowly, her eyes looking at the red flashing alarm in her room. She was confused, but she kept an emotionless face. "Is...someone breaking in? But...who...?"


Her train of thought was cut off when the sound of doors opening caught her attention. She slowly turned her head to the left and she saw left her speechless. "Blood Christ, Natalia. You look like shit." That sarcastic voice. That face. She blinked a couple of times to see if this was real or not, but sure enough it was. The one and only Shaun Hastings stood before her at the door of her cell. And for once, she felt safe and relieved in a long time. She slowly stood to her legs, shaking a bit as she used the wall as support as she shook.


"S-Shaun...?" She said with a heavy breath as she tried to walk on her own, her blood running down her body from her deep cuts and scratch's. She wobbled a bit before collapsing to her knees. Shaun hastily ran to her side before taking his jacket off and putting it on her. He touched her skin and she was cold as ice. "Damn... Your freezing, Natalia."


He lifted her up in his arms gently as he head rested against his shoulder. "Just hold on, okay? I'll get you out of here." He reassured her before making his way out. It felt comfortable and good to wear a jacket and not feel naked.


"My life...is beginning a new again isn't it..." She thought as she closed her tired eyes. Shaun looked down at the broken girl and sighed. "You not going to make things easy again, aren't you?" He said with his eyebrow raised before taking off down the hallway.
