Emily's POV

I find myself staring at Jacob for too long. He caught me staring at him and he gave me a boyish smirk. Evie turns to me.

"Emily Aleck has told us so much about you, we are sorry to hear that your mother has passed," Evie says

" Thank you, I miss her dearly," I say. Jacob scuffed.

" Couldn't her father take care of her or did he just not want her," Jacob said harshly. I got red in the face. I will not let his comment get to me.

" No, I guess not, maybe I just look too much like my mother to bare," Jacob look dumbfounded, I guess he wasn't expecting that. I fake a smile" Well uncle, I will be out exploring London, seeing what it has to offer,"

" Wait, Emily you need someone to go with you, I mean you don't even know the city yet," my uncle laughs. " How about lets see if Evie or Jacob will go with you,"

" Uncle, I don't need someone to watch me I can take care of myself, besides could you go with me?" I say. Aleck looks at me.

" Emily, I would but, I have work to do,"

"Aleck, I would go with her but I have research to do," Evie says," But Jacob can," I look at Jacob who doesn't seem to happy.

" Thank you dearest sister," Jacob sarcastically says

" Your welcome dearest brother," Evie returns.

Jacob's POV

I can't believe Evie is making me show Emily the city. It's not like I don't want to. It is just that I am trying to bring down Starrick and the Templars. I got better things to do. I mean for all I know Emily could be a brat. Maybe I am wrong. Aleck turns to me.

" Jacob, you can take my carriage," Aleck says," Oh, and take good care of Emily, would you?" I put ona fake smile an escort Emily out the door.

" Don't worry Aleck, I will," I close the door. I walk Emily to the carriage, And I ahold of the rings." Don't worry I am a good driver,"

Emily's POV

This man is not a good driver, the carriage is shaking, and I feel like I am about to puke.

" So Emily, where do you want to go?" Jacob shouts.

" Maybe a calm place, like the park," I answer. The truth is that I don't want to go to the park, I just want him to stop this carriage. We finally stop and I run out of the carriage and run to the nearest tree and puke. I sit on the ground so I can calm down. Jacob helps me up.

" Do you want to get back in the carriage?" Jacob laughs.

" No!" I shout," No," I laugh," You said you were a good driver, you liar," we both laugh.

" You want to walk around," he says. I nod. We walk around a bit. " Exactly how old are you Emily?"

" Um....16," I say, " You?"

"20, by the way 16 is pretty young to be sent away by your father," Jacob says," Why were you sent away,"

" Like I said I looked too much like my mother," I don't tell him the whole truth.

" There has to more that," I guess Jacob can see I am lying. I sigh.

" Well my father tried to make me marry a man I did not love, and I refused, so he got mad and sent me away just because of that," I explain," He became cruel after my mother died," I don't want to talk about this anymore. " Anyway, what do you and Evie do?"

" Me and Evie are assassin's, we came to London to liberate it from the Templars, and from their new grandmaster Crawford Starrick, well I intend to do that with the help of my gang,"

" You, have a gang?"

" Yeah, called the Rooks,"

"You named your gang after a chess piece?" I laugh a little.

" Stop laughing," he says and I stop" Anyway, what do you like to do," I look at him.

" Well I love to read, especially Shakespeare," I say

" Really, who is Shakespeare,"

" You really don't know who Shakespeare is, the famous play-write, writer of Henry the 8th, Romeo and Juliet! No bells ringing,"

" No?" Jacob says, " Never heard of him," I give him a look that says "really". " I'm kidding I know who he is," I sigh in relief.

" Okay, good," we laugh and talk about our childhood. I thought Jacob was going to be this awful man. But no he is just entertaining.

Jacob's POV  

Emily, I thought she was going to be a spoiled brat, coming from a wealthy family after all, no she is intelligent, intriguing, and when I actually look at her she is beautiful.

" Jacob, it's getting dark out," Emily interrupts my train of thought. I give her a smirk.

" One more thing," she gives me a look. I sigh. " You'll love it," she follows me.

" Where are we going?" she asks. I find the perfect building to see all of London, well some of it.

" Okay, better hold onto me," I smile while holding her.

" Why?" then in a spilt second I activate my grappler hook . Then we go up the building. I hear her gasp. Once we are on top of the building she looks in aw. " Wow," she says.

" What do you think," I say. She turns to me.

" It's amazing," she says. London's sunset is beautiful. " You can see everything the factories, the stores, the churches everything," I stare at her and she catches me. " What?" she says still smiling.
