North Atlantic
August, 1757

It's been ten months since little Nathan and Haley were born. Both me and Shay love them both so much; our most beloved treasures.

Haley is full of laughs and giggles and Nathan hardly ever cries, which is nice. They both are very outgoing. Both Haley and Nathan like looking down at the ocean, I think they are both going to be like their father when they are older.

Lately the Coronal and Gist have been growing on me. There good men. After the children were born I was able to do more missions. I've helped Shay with taking care of the gang problem in New York, but we haven't fully taken care of the problem just yet. I've even helped the Coronal with a mission or two. He told me that he looked forward to doing more with me.

It's been hard to be both a mother and a...... whatever I am now. I like to call myself a Rogue Assassin; I don't have a Brotherhood that I serve under anymore, but I still follow the tenets of the Creed. Shay told me he would like for me to join the Templars, like he did, but he wont force me to. Who knows someday I might, I mean the Templars that I'm working with aren't the same one's that killed my parents.

The Assassins led me to believe that all Templars are bad people but their wrong. Some want to do right, to help people. Not all of them are bad.

I wake up in the morning and I let out a yawn. I could hear the sound of the ocean outside the cabin and the crew hard at work. I sit up and I run my fingers through my messy long dark brown hair.

I look over and I see Shay looking out of the window in the cabin. He then goes to the table and he grabs an apple off of it. He takes a bite out of it. But then he looks at it again and puts it down on his desk. He leans over the desk.

I look away from him and I look at little Haley and Nathan who were sleeping soundly in their cribs. I smile down at them and I get up from bed. I walk up to Shay and I wrap my arms around his waist and lean my head on his back.

"Morning, Shay," I tell him. He turns around and he wraps his arms around me.

"Morning, Kathryn," Shay tells me and he pecks my lips. He then looks over and he sees something that was wrapped in white papper with a letter with it.

Shay unwraps it and it is revealed to be un other than the Manuscript. Shay looks at it shocked but I slowly walk backwards and I look at it with horror like it was a deadly disease.

"Get rid of it," I tell Shay. Shay looks back at me with a confused look on his face.

"What?" he asks me. I roll my eyes.

"Get rid of the Manuscript, Shay!" I tell him again. Shay walks up to me with the Manuscript in hand.

"Why?" he asks me. I scoff.

"Its dangerous to have around here. The Assassins are looking for it, I'm certain of that," I tell him, "They already think I have it!" Shay sighs and he wraps an arm around me. I look over at our children and Haley's little brown eyes are open.

I lean down and I pick her up and I kiss her forehead. She makes a cute smile and giggles. But then she makes a face that looked like she was going to cry.

"She must be hungry," Shay tells me. I nod my head and I start to feed her. After a few minutes I look over at Shay and he is reading the letter. Once he is done reading it he looks at me.

"Monroe had the Manuscript," He tells me. I sigh and I notice Haley is sleeping again and no longer eating. I put her back in her crib and I notice Nathan smiling and holding out his arms for me to pick him. I smile down at him and and I pick him up.

As he grows he looks more and more like Shay. I kiss Nathan's little face. I then start to feed Nathan before he decides to start crying. I look back at Shay.

"And he knows about our fomer allegiance," Shay tells me. I shrug.

"It doesn't surprise me," I tell him, "I mean our clothes were practically screaming out 'hey I'm an Assassin,',"Shay laughs, "Is there anything else in the letter?" Shay looks back at the letter and he looks back at me.

"The Coronal is at Fort William Henry its surrounded by hostile natives and the French army," Shay tells me. I look at him with concern on my face.

"Will he getting reinforcements there?" I ask him. Shay shakes his head.

"He asked for some but there not coming," Shay tells me, "That is why we will be going instead," I smile at him. I look down at Nathan and he is fast asleep. I put him back in his crib, "Kathryn, you best get dressed out of that nightgown,"

I nod my head and I get dressed, not into my old assassin robes, but into a blue shirt, black coat, grey tight pants and black boots. I put on my hidden blade and I grab my daggers and my bow and quiver.

I check on the babies one last time and they were still asleep. I walk out of the cabin with Shay and we set sail for Fort William Henry.
