After Jack

It was London and must have been at least 1888, there was newspapers going on about Jack the Ripper and reading the title dropped a few coins down to read the full article, “Jack’s dead! Interesting” and with this I could now see the date January 1889, I walked down the street when I heard a sound down the alleyway, I walked down here whilst asking quietly, “Rebecca, Layla anyone....anyone, can you hear me?” there was silence so putting it in my pocket to free up my other ear listened when I saw a woman standing there reading a letter out loud, “Dear Evie,

As we know, our relationship has been unstable for so long to the extent our courting years seemed for nothing and the other thing that kept us going was the brotherhood here but ever since Jack first occurred and the trouble with the Rooks in London it has come more clear to me that you staying here is more and more irrelevant to both own interests and the brotherhood interests especially with Jacobs young son refusing to accept his responsibility as an Assassin! So, I have gotten us an divorce, free yourself from this tedious bondage and live your life.

Your once good friend,

Henry Green”

She crumpled the letter up and angrily kicked the bin, “Little rat, I knew something wasn’t right...but this isn’t Henry, Henry wouldn’t do this unless... Padma, has to be Padma! they were just to close to be just friends, stupid Evie!” It was then when I heard a group walk towards her, “Miss Frye, all alone!” Evie looked over and seeing the group of twenty stand in front of her groaned, “I didn’t even know you were still a thing...At least you have more balls then the Rooks!” I slid next to the next wall and seeing the group walk forward heard her say, “Now this is really fair!” I pulled my throwing knives and throwing five into the back of a five gang members walked up as I flicked my wrists and walking up behind them killed two more before shooting the next six with my revolver. Seven remained as Evie came by my side drawing her weapon, “What do you want Templar?” I shrugged before focusing on the gang said, “Let’s worry about that after!” the first came and almost instinctively dodge the first arm repeatedly stabbed him in the chest before grabbing his cane slammed it into the nexts head before pulling out his gun shot him in the chest before using the next to shoot the Blighter member who was behind Evie before the next to shoot the one currently fighting Evie before execution the one on the floor leaving a two vs two scenario. We stared at each other as the group attacked dodging the first swing before stabbing Evie’s opponent in her the side causing him to drop his guard and Evie to **** him before sweeping my ones leg he fell to the floor and looking up whimpered, “Damien we are on your side, the Templar’s sent us to help you!” Evie looked and trying to think of anything in the characters memories grabbed my gun and shot him before clutching my head looked over to Evie who stood there in shock.

“What on earth are you doing here Templar?? Helping me! Like competition do you?” she angrily bellowed and slumping down the side until my bum made contact with the bin spoke, “I am sorry about Henry!” she looked over hurt almost tearing before returning to her original pose, “I said what are you doing here?” I looked up before saying, “What do you want? Why I am here or why Damien is here?” she stared at me confused before dejected and feeling an headache come I spoke, “Damien was here to kill you I think. I however is...never mind you wouldn’t understand!” she walked up to me before commenting, “Try me! I have seen a lot of things that I don’t understand!” I looked at her before saying, “I went into a machine that is meant to relive an ancestors life but it backfired and I am here. I don’t know if I am actually here or if this is just me reliving the experience!” she looked at me before saying, “So a piece of Eden sent you back here, why?” I shook my head before saying, “In the future we have a lot of powerful machines that aren’t Pieces of Eden. We call this one the animus! And I don’t know maybe I was just spat out here by accident!” she stared at me before saying, “The only powerful objects I know is pieces of Eden!” I pulled out the ear piece and handing it over I said, “This is my communication device but since this is set almost two centuries...” it then came to me, “I am stuck here! If this was reliving memories I could communicate with them but since I can’t it must be real and they aren’t born yet!” she looked down at the device before seeing in more detail handed it back, “Ok, let’s take it as you are really from the future...how do you get back?” I shrugged here before saying, “I assume when a rift opens up or I live here! I don’t even know if I was meant to kill these men or not, if I was meant to kill you or not!” she handed me the gun before saying, “Kill me then, I assume not doing so would cause a lasting change?” I nodded before aiming it said, “Maybe he didn’t!” and throwing the gun to the floor spoke, “Me being here will cause a change so what is a few more days going to do?? Do you have anywhere to go?” she thought about it before saying, “Well I recently set the train hideout back up maybe you could stay there for a while?” she nervously responded and grabbing her arms she commented, “We have to hide the bodies!” I grabbed a piece of wood and marking a Symbol into the wall said, “If it still works here, just do this symbol and the bobbies will know it’s Templar’s and won’t even ask any questions!” before regrabbing her arm escorted her out, “To your train it is!”
