Chapter 13

Morning...
Nasr sat on the balcony, watching the sun rise. Ezio was still asleep, he slowly snuggled up to his pillow, trying to feel Nasr. He battered his eyes open and yarned. "Nasr?" he whispered, looking for her. Nasr heard him, but grinned and thought to herself, "I'll let him look." Ezio sat up and gazed around his room, he pushed his legs out of the covers and got up. He grabbed a see through, thin robe and put it on, rapping it around his curved figure. He took one more look around quietly, then whispered her name again. He found no answer and felt a horrible feeling in his heart. He strolled over to his bathroom and peeked in, whispering, "Nasr? Are you in here?" When he heard no answer and saw no wave of blood ribbon hair. His smooth tanned face, wondered to a sad expression. He turned around, looking down, his lips no longer in a curve. He rubbed his neck, and wondered back to his bed. Then, he looked up... Seeing that curvey, red haired grinning woman he went to sleep with last night. "Lookin for me?" She asked, eyebrow cocked. He nodded, a smile quickly erasing the frown. "I thought you left me." He peered, approaching her. "Not yet, I'm like a bird. I fly away when the wind calls." She said, watching him approach her. He place his arms around her waist and said, "You won't want to leave me... I'm too charming." He grinned. She laughed and said, "Your not as good as a charmer then you think, Ezio. You have too many cheesey moments." He laughed and licked his lips, looking down at her hands by her side. He slowly reached for them, however Nasr turned and walked back to the balcony... over looking the city of Florence. Ezio watched her wondering. "What is it?" He asked, following her. "You have to stay here today Ezio, don't venture out of your home today... I need to see a friend. Someone I know who would know more on something." She answered no even looking at him. "Let me go with you. I can't be here on my lonesome and bored." He said grabbing her hand. "Ezio, for once... Do as I ask. I won't be long and you have your sister to talk to. I see she was dancing with that rather handsome young man last night." She grinned, looking at him. He scoffed and said, "He is no handsome then a stack pig! He was lucky I had you to entertain and be with." He looked away and frowned. Nasr breathed a laugh and said, "Once again, your being quite immature." She held his chin up with her fingers. He twisted his lip and mumbled, "I'm not being immature." She smiled and then leaned in making his smile with excitement. She suddenly stopped, whispering, "I'll be back." With that, she flew off the balcony and ran out of his gardens. Ezio was left hanging, and upset that she didn't kiss him. "Don't be too long." He mumbled, looking to where she was.


A young, dark haired woman. Who's name matched Ezio's sister. She was very pretty, with short dark hair and lovely green eyes. She was finishing off her crispy bread, enjoying the sound of distant birds. Behind her, stood Nasr. "Chrissy." She calmly said. the young dark headed girl spun around and beemed saying, "Nasr! Good morning!" "Good to see your still in one piece Chrissy." Nasr beemed embracing her young friend. Chrissy held her and said, "Well you know me too well Nasr. So... what happened last night? I didn't see you with the others like before?" "I had to attend the upper classes ball with someone who needs a little protection. According to my eastdropping. There is a conspiracy against him and his family. And I wish to stop it. As my master as commanded me to. His name is Auditore, I was wondering if you know anything of it?" She asked. "Auditore? The bankers? Please don't tell me your protecting that lover boy? He may have slept with the wrong woman and pissed someone off for all you know." She said laughing. "Maybe, However I don't think its about his love making powers. Its something else." She said. "Hum... Well to be honest... I haven't heard anything about a conspiracy? But I will keep an ear out. Have fun with the great charmer of Florence." She said grinning. "Ha! He's not so much as a charmer that everyone thinks Christina. Cheesey more like." Nasr said, grinning at her back. "Come on Nasr, don't let me you haven't got some feeling towards him! Every woman who crossed his path has fallen and can't resist." She teased, moving fingers in front of Nasr. "Oh please. Not you too." Nasr laughed at her friend. "Hahaha! You will Nasr! You will. Secretly, I wouldn't mind those strong curved arms around my waist." Chrissy said, giggling to herself. Nasr laughed and said, "Well he's all yours!" "Why thank you!" Chrissy said. "I will talk to you soon Chrissy. Take care of you." Nasr said, embrassing her friend. "And take care of you!" Chrissy said smiling. Nasr left her friend, however not knowing that Christina is Ezio's future wife. For when they meet, it will be like 'Romeo and Juilet'. Nasr will soon find out though, and when she does.... She would give her life to portect them both from the mysterious evil that lurks out in Italy.


As she was on her way, something caught her eye. A man... in a light blue outfit, with brown leggings and boots. With a red shash. She stopped and looked at him. He was in the distance, so she approached him. The man stayed still as a staue. Nasr stopped and looked upon him and new who he was. "Assassin?" She whispered. He bowed his head and said, "So... you have some information. Important information. I'm sorry to say my child that you will have to tell me what that is. Or I will force you." She cocked her eye brows and firmly said, "Why would you need to know? Assassin?" He tilted his head and said, "I don't need to explain myself to you Nasr." "Oh really?" She scoffed. She took a good scan of his face and then realised. "No!" She whispered. "What?" he asked suspicous. "Govanni Auditore! The Assassin of Italy? Ezio's father? Does he know?" She said... getting closer to him. He froze, staring at her in shock. "How did you reconise me? I have my hood up." He said. She smiled and said, "I have good eyes with a very good memory, you should who that no one can discise themselves from me." He grinned and said, "Only my wife knows. I had to hide it from my children for protection perposes. Anyway... I have heard a conspiracy against my son, involving others. The information you know would be quite nice to know." She nodded and said, "Someone named Valerie... The men didn't say his name, but Lopo was talking about it. I haven't told Ezio however, he has many emeries... As do you. If you allow me to help you and protect your family in the time being. We may get through this together." He nodded, nervously. "Very well. But not a word to my family. I am trusting you." He firmly said. "You know you can Govanni, I will go back your home and keep them under servalance. You try to find out more on this Valerie guy." She appointed. "Understood. Thank you... Its good to have the protector of innocents on side. The order didn't think you would help." He thanked her. "The order doesn't know me that well." She smirked. With that, they went their separate ways, Nasr going to protect his family while Govanni goes to report back to the order.

Now Nasr knew who the Assassin was, she swore to herself that she will keep his secret, until the time was right. She never thought it would Ezio's father. How Ironic! Ezio and his family are the targets of the conspiracy... Yet Govanni.. Ezio's father is the Assassin all along. Nasr sensed that there is more to this then a conspiracy to capture Ezio... or any of his family members. A storm was coming and she had to ready all of the Auditore family for it to unviel.
