Teodora cries in the middle of the night as she was hungry. You jump awake and you feel Ezio's arm wrapped around you. He stirs awake as he hears the baby crying. You then get out of bed and walk to the crib. You see Teodora wailing with tears coming down her cheek. You pick her up and hold her close. You bounce her in your arms.
"Shh piccolo (little one)," you whisper to her. She continues to cry and her stomach growls, "You are hungry," you sit on the bed with your back facing Ezio. You feed her and she latches onto you right away. She closes her blue eyes as she drinks your milk. You kiss her forehead and smooth her brown hair.
You feel Ezio wrap his arms around you and kiss your shoulder. You smile and hum slightly. He kisses your neck and you bite your lower lip.
"Ezio..stop," you giggle slightly, "Not in front of the baby," you tell him. He chuckles and he rests his head on your shoulder and he looks down at Teodora. He brushes his thumb on her cheek. You kiss his cheek and you look down at your daughter. She soon got full and stops drinking. You fix the top of your nightgown and Teodora looks up at you and Ezio. You make a funny face and she smiles and giggles slightly. Then she looks up at Ezio and holds out her arms for him to hold her. Ezio holds her and kisses her forehead.
Teodora yawns and snuggles to Ezio and falls back asleep. You smile and he gets up to put Teodora back in her crib. Ezio comes to bed and he hovers over you.s You giggle and you wrap your arms around his neck and he kisses you deeply. He pulls away and caresses your cheek. You place your hand on his cheek.
"Get some rest," Ezio tells you. You nod and he lies down beside you. You lay your head on his chest and his arm wrap around you. You snuggle up to him and you close your eyes and sleep.
You find yourself in a golden field, similar to a field that you and your sister used to play in as children. You smile and you lie down on the golden grass and feel the blades between your fingers. You look up at the clear blue sky. You felt like you were in heaven. Such a beautiful place you were in. You hum and close your eyes as you feel the sun hit your skin. You suddenly open them as you hear two little girls playing.
You quickly sit up and you see a beautiful blonde on in a green dress and a (H/C) one in a (F/C) dress. You knew they were you and Lucia when the two of you were children. You were 5 and she was 7.
"(F/N)! This way!" Lucia calls the young you as the young you follows her. You smile slightly as you watch your younger self play with Lucia. You see your younger self run faster and she runs past Lucia. The younger you stops and cheers as she won their little race. Lucia laughs and hugs her and they both fall to the ground. You then see your parents in the distance. You smile and you run to them.
"Mama! Papa!" you yell. But they seem to ignore you. You see your father chuckle at your younger self and Lucia.
"Well done (F/N)," he praises her, "Well done children," your mother smiles at them. Your younger self runs to your mother.
"Mama! Did you see how fast I ran?!" she asks with a giggle. Your mother hugs her and smiles more
"Sí, mi cara," your mother tells her. You then look at Lucia and she frowns. She always felt that you were the favorite. But Lucia smiles again and goes to hug your mother. Your mother hugs both of you tight, "My darling beautiful girls," she kisses both of their heads. Then they fade away then you hear a gunshot.
You jump in fear and the sky turned cloudy in a matter of seconds. The ground below your feet turned to cold snow. You could see your breath and you see crows squaking in the sky. As you walk through the snow, something starts to appear. A tree appears in the distance and you see three things hanging from the tree. As you walk closer to the tree the figures appear to look human. Your eyes widen and you walks faster to the tree. You then realize that the three figures were Giovanni, Federico, and Petruccio. You gasp and you put your hand to your mouth. They hung motionless as their bodies sway slightly.
You shake shake as you remove your hand from your mouth. You then look to your left and you see blood covered snow. You let out a whimper and you follow the trial of blood. You then see two people lying on the snow. You get closer to the two people and you see that they were your parents. You start crying and hyperventilating.
They lied there as blood poured from the wounds in their heads. You then hear a giggle and then you see Lucia. She held a knife.
"No one is safe from me," Lucia says all too sweetly, "Not Ezio....or even your precious daughter," you run after her but she faids away and you hear her faint laugh. You then hear sword fighting and you see Lucia and Ezio fighting with swords. But she knocks him down.
"No!" you scream as she raises her sword over him. You felt you were moving in slow motion but they were moving in a normal speed. She plunges the sword into his chest. Then you started to run in a normal speed. You run to Ezio and you crouch to his bleeding body. Tears fall down your cheeks and you cling to his body as you get his blood on you. You wanted to scream and shout. But then you hear the cry of a baby.
You lift your head off Ezio's chest and you see a crib in the distance. You whimper and you stand up. The crying continues and it gets louder as you get closer. You hesitantly look in the crib. The crying became hysterical. There was a little body covered in a white blanket. You slowly lift it off the little body. What you saw made you scream and sob.
You wake up to Ezio shouting your name and shaking you awake. You look up at him and you start to sob and you hug him. You cry into his chest. Ezio tries to sooth you as he rubs your back.
"Did you have another nightmare?" he asks. You nod your head. You try to calm down and you look into his amber eyes. You finally calm down enough to talk.
"It was a good dream at first," you tell him, "I saw myself when I was younger playing with my sister," you sniffle, "then it turned bad. I saw your brothers and father hanging from a tree, then my parents lying dead ij a pool of their own blood, then I saw Lucia killing you," some tears roll down your cheeks. Ezio sighs and kisses your tears away.
"I am not going anywhere," Ezio says and he cups your cheeks.
"I saw one more thing," you tell him. He looks into your (E/C) orbs, "I saw our daughter....dead in her crib," Ezio looked shocked, "I want to be able to protect Teodora," you tell him.
"From Lucia?" Ezio asks and you nod.
"If she found out about Teodora...I think Lucia would try to kill her," you tell him, "I made a promise to Lucia that I would kill her for what she did to our parents,"
"What are you saying?" Ezio asks you. You look at him dead in the eyes.
"I want to be an Assassin, Ezio," you tell him, "I want revenge,"
