{A New Day} -->P R I V A T E (Winter Time Skip)

[Aidan De Verita Alerio]

"I will have to, yes. I've been meaning to when we can tell everyone." Niccolo said as he turned around as looked at Sadiq. "Inform Sadiq later; I know he doesn't really understand. Especially when the only words he probably knows from our conversation is 'Daniel Cross'." Niccolo commented with a chuckle. "We haven't found any of the kids heritages yet; but we know Aidan should be interesting, with his eagle vision." Niccolo commented. Adding to that Niccolo said; "We know that anyone can get eagle vision; but not many have done it. That's why it's more than likely Aidan has it from someone pasted down that does have it. I wonder who it is."

"I remember when we visited our ancestors. We didn't do much in the animus but.. well; we didn't get much time because it wasn't doing any progress. It's pretty funny for the historically correct names of our ancestors. Niccolo and Yusuf; both getting to meet Ezio Auditore." Niccolo explained in missing of those memories. "You know. We better get an updated animus in the house maybe tomorrow or the next. A women named Rebecca had made upgrades to the animus last month. She says she's work on more apparently; won't be up and running well until a few years later. Heard it from Trey."

"That's okay, Daniel. Many people are afraid of heights. I like the sounds of flying. Freedom is one word that comes to mind when I hear it. Escape as another." Aidan said as he was giving the materials for what was called 'acrylic painting'. "Thank you again. One reason I like flying as well; it reminds me of how free the world used to be; sure the government still was pretty bad like it is today. The thing is; you could get away easily. You could live in an unknown area that was yet to be discovered and not have a care in the world about working for money, and following government rules. You could have your own free life. Where survival was your only worry." Aidan said as he looked as if he was spacing out. Zoning back in, Aidan said in a snap; "That gives me an idea of something I could paint. Let's see how good it'll turn out! Gotta stay positive!" Aidan said excitingly as he picked up a thin brush and took a look at the painting to figure out what he was to do next himself.

Azure pressed the play button and the sounds of a very fast acoustic guitar sound came from the speakers; but as soon as they did Steven shouted; "Wait! Let's get Mikhail over here; he needs to here that!" Steven said. Azure paused it as Steven shouted for Mikhail. "Mikhail! Zafirah! Come here and listen to that band we were talking about! You'll love the acoustic! I think!"

Zafirah nodded with a smiled as she heard the band she was talking about in the distance. It paused and could hear the kids yelling for them. "Let's go listen to that song; maybe it'll give us some inspiration of songs we could do. Oh, and it'll give you the chance to see what kind of music I'm into sometimes" Zafirah said with a smile as she walked with Mikhail.

Azure played the song again as they did walk in. The song's fast acoustic and the sound of a tin whistle; gave it that very Celtic sound and adventure. The sound of a Irish sounding violin came in as well, and Zafirah's face sparked of an idea for a song to learn with everyone. Then all of a sudden; drums, guitar, bass, everything came in with screams and intensity.

Steven began to enjoy it as the screams came roaring in. He didn't think Zafirah would be into this kind of music. He supposed that she was into a variety of things. Including certain screaming.

[Danilo Isaia]

"With eagle vision I'm sure it would be... I guess the problem is that most of these kids are orphans. Not like they can go ask their parents." Yusuf replied and remembered with guilt that he hadn't been translating for Sadiq.
"Daniel Haç ile ilgili olarak çocukların biri. Diğer çocuklar suikastçı sunan özellikleri olsa, o halde güvenli olduğunu düşünüyorum, biz merak ediyor (One of the children in related to Daniel Cross. We think he is safe though, we are wondering if the other children had assassin bloodlines.)" Yusuf told Sadiq quickly and then looked back at Niccolo.
"Me and Kadir have a bloodline on our fathers side, though I'm not sure about what is on his mother's side." Yusuf said then smiled as he remembered visiting his ancestor, Yusuf.
"It was almost like Deja-vu! A master assassin of Istanbul. Teaching Ezio things, man that was great!" Yusuf then remenissed happily.
"You have an animus here? You should get the kids into it soon, after you inform them of the creed." Yusuf suggested, being quite excited to learn who everyone could visit.

Sadiq stared at Yusuf, not knowing how to feel about being in a house with a relative of Daniel Cross. Even if Yusuf and Niccolo felt it was safe, it was too dangerous of a thing to simply trust in his eyes. He wondered which of the teens it was, and then remembered Mikhail. He was Russian, and did have some of Daniel's features. He shivered a little at the thought.
"Kendisini güvende ne kadar daha sonra açıklayacağım ... (Explain later how he is safe...)" Saidq replied to Yusuf with a smirk.

Daniel nodded, he understood Aidan's views fully.
"That is true... It's difficult to simply escape. There are people everywhere, people who can control you." Daniel agreed as he rummaged around his paint pile for two pallets. He handed one to Aidan, and began to put some paint on his.
"Yes, stay positive! Art doesn't always have to be judged by your skill level. As long as you portray what you want, it's successful." Daniel replied with a smile.
He then turned to his canvas, and tired to envision what he wanted to paint.

Daniel began to mix together a blue colour and a black, and began to paint the top of the canvas. When he got a quater of the way down he began to stroke white and orange ontop of the bottom portion and down halfway of the painting. He then began the same process, but with yellow on top of some of the orange and down to the bottom of the canvas. He then began work at adding some clouds.

Kadir listened to the music that Azure played. He could vaguely remember Zafirah playing the song when he was around her sometime, but he couldn't remember much of it. He nodded when Azure suggested that Mikhail would like the song, he was sure he was if it had acoustic in it.

Mikhail nodded and followed Zafirah when Azure began to call them in to listen to the song. He heard the song play as they walked into the room, and the sound of quick, somewhat celtic style guitar playing hit him. He liked the sound of it, and the fact that Azure had a tin whistle, and Zafirah a voice to sing such music, was great.

"That's quite the guitar that song has... I could try learning it." Mikhail said as the song finished. He would have to listen to it quite a few times to learn it, as he only knew how to learn song by being taught, or by experimentation. He couldn't read any music, nor did he know how to work tabs. He never had either.

[Aidan De Verita Alerio]

"The screaming I could possibly learn. It won't be as deep as that though." Steven commented as he thought over how everyone in the house could possibly learn it. He as sure that everyone could get a part. Even Daniel with his piano some how. That would come later on, Steven thought. "Azure, take a look for more songs you nerd." Steven said with a smile and rubbed Azure hair fast and messing it up.

Azure giggled as Steven messed around with her hair. "You got it!" Azure replied. She didn't mind being called a 'nerd'. She actually loved the technology of computers. She actually could relate to being a nerd. She didn't think it was a bad thing though.

Zafirah looked at Mikhail with a smile and said; "I would be very impressed if you could learn that song. My type of music varies. You got the rock, Celtic metal, soft rock, acoustic, violin pure, or stuff that's pure with piano or any foreign instrument. I like only some screaming. Not all of it though; it's harder to explain; but not all of Steven's songs that are Screamo; I like. I'll listen and enjoy; but I just wouldn't favorite in my lists."

Aidan smiled at Daniel's comment and looked at the canvas he was given. He mixed up from of the green and black from the paints to make a darker colour grass for the mountainous area he was to draw. After drawing some of the mountains as carefully as he could; he knew that he needed to calm down and so smoother with his nervous habit for painting. He cleaned his brush to make way for the brown for Aidan's trees. After a while of painting with Daniel. He got some spruce trees around the area with a darkened back of a young man looking towards the sky of a sunset. He wanted to portray the feeling of a man wanting to get away from everyone in this corrupt world. Wanted to start a new life, a life where no one could find him. Live on nature at it's calmest and best. Survive with what he found around him, and make what he would need for a new life in the wilderness. It was a darker portrait that seemed more sadder to give more emotion into it. Though it may not have been the greatest detail; he was proud that he was able to draw what he wanted to draw. He continued to add the simple detailed that he wished to touch up.

"It's over down the street with Trey. It hasn't been used for a while; but I'm going to tell Trey now that to call the creed to get as much advanced animus as he can get for in here. We'll put it in the extra room behind the library." Niccolo explained trying to think of the best way to have this as he answered Yusuf's question.

"Well we should have an interesting group of people that they can visit. Seeing how they are all from different cultures. Well.. Except Daniel. I'm not sure about him. His Albino; but that has nothing to do with anything. We just can't really tell of his heritage with his appearance too." Niccolo added.

"Now as for you; I bet you want to go into the snow, RIGHT?!" Steven shouted, teasingly at Kadir as he made a stance of attack mode. Steven wanted to do something today. He knew it was to be a slow day today. He was sure that Kadir must have something in mind that he wants to do or figure out.

[Danilo Isaia]

Daniel looked over at Aidan as he got into his painting, and smiled. Aidan wasn't the most skilled artist, but he was doing a good job. He looked at the painting, and began to grasp it's meaning, he could tell that Aidan was still thinking about how people weren't simply free to live as they once were. Off the land, and anywhere. He liked that dark nature of the painting, it resembled some of the darker painting he had done as well.

Kadir shook his head firmly.
"No way! How are we even going to get through the snow, there's like 4 feet of it!" Kadir retorted as he glared at the door.

"I'll try my best. I will have to listen to in a few times in the process though, so you will have to pay it for me." Mikhail explained. He had almost never used the internet before, but even if he could figure it out, he wouldn't be able to write, or read anything. He wondered if he would be able to fins someone who would teach him.
"I'm glad you have variety in your song tastes... I don't know many songs so I'm not aware of too many genres. Mostly classic rock, acoustic songs and songs from Russia." Mikhail then replied as he watched Kadir complain about the snow.

"If it bothers you that much I can clear it out of the way." Mikhail said to him with a chuckle. He had walked through plenty of walls of snow in his lifetime. You wouldn't be able to leave your house in Norilsk some days if you didn't.

"That's not the point!" Kadir grumbled as Mikhail offered to make a path for them.

Yusuf nodded, understanding what Niccolo meant by having an Animus, but not in his house.
"That would be great if we could use the animus again. I'm sure there would be some interesting people to visit from all of those countries. And Daniel... yeah you will have to find out what his heritage is. Albino only covers some disorder in his family I guess." Yusuf replied with a shrug.

[Aidan De Verita Alerio]

"In this case; Daniel would be able to figure out his ancestry with the animus. Well, I'll let you two do what ever you wish today. I'm going over to Trey down the street to tell him about the Animus. The door and entrances are blocked with snow. So try not to tell the kids where I am. I'm going to have quite the leap of faith now." Niccolo said with a laugh as he walked away to the stairs. He walked up the stairs and made his way to Daniel's room. Entering he said; "Excuse me, Aidan. I'm just going in your room to the tower, okay? Don't mind me." Niccolo said as he walked back out to the room.

Aidan replied with; "Okay Niccolo." He did however wonder why, for sure.

Looking back over to Daniel smiling about the painting, he smiled back. "What do you think? And don't worry; I'm curious as to what Niccolo is doing as well." Aidan said to Daniel.

Niccolo walked up to the tower and climbed up. As he looked down to the snow as wondered how the snow was today. "Well here goes nothing." Niccolo said as he jumped off the tower into a swan dive and into the snow. He had a pair of snow shoes that he had thrown down with him. The snow was mildly compacted but soft enough to make Niccolo have a safe landing. "Good. This snow will be perfect for the kids tomorrow. Probably more snow too." Niccolo said with a laugh thinking about Yusuf and Kadir. He made his way up the snow and putting on snow shoes to get to Trey. Take him a while; but what else is there for him to do that day.

Steven walked with them as Mikhail and Kadir discussed about the snow and how to clear it. Laughing; Steven said; "There is no point of clearing it right now, Mikhail. As much as I would agree with it, I like seeing Kadir in annoyance this way." Steven said with a tease. "Seriously though. Don't bother today. Wait til at least the 26th. The snow is supposed to get worse tonight." Steven explained.

In the background you could hear Azure shouting; "YAYMORESNOW!" Azure didn't mean for it to be teasing, but she did love the fact of more snow.

Zafirah smiled as she saw Azure putting in her earphones to watch another video. "Don't worry about it guys." Zafirah said as she looked around to make sure no one else was listening. "I'm sure we'll get out tomorrow. Trust me on that. Niccolo has these surprises that I'm sure he can pull off. I wouldn't be surprised to what Yusuf can do as well." Zafirah said with a little giggle.

[Danilo Isaia]

Yusuf then wondered if the teens could visit memories of their parents. He knew this would be useful for Aidan and Steven in particular, from what he was told they were adopted at a very young age, and Niccolo knew little, if not nothing about their parents.
"Alright, see you later!" Yusuf replied to Nicolo and watched as he left up the stairs.

"Biz çocukların bazı inanç hakkında söyledim henüz gerçeği hakkında konuşuyorduk. Yarın değil mi olanları söylüyorum planlıyor. (We were talking about the fact that some of the children haven't been told about the creed. He is planning telling the ones that don't tomorrow.)" Yusuf the explained as he turned to Sadiq.

"Onlar bir inanç evde yaşamak ve inanç bilmiyorum?! (They live in a creed house, and don't know of the creed?!)" Sadiq questioned back in disbelief. He couldn't understand how that could even be managed. How could they not know?

"O, çok gençken daha sonra iki benimsemiş, ve onlar yaşlı ve anlaşılır idi dek bekleyin karar verdi. Bu yüzden şimdiye kadar bekledi oluyor.Diğer çok yeni kabul edilen ve Kadir ilk kill yaptım çünkü onlar sadece tespit edilir.(He adopted two of then when they were very young, and decided that he would wait until they were older and understood. So he's waited until now. The other are very newly adopted in, and they only found out because Kadir made his first kill.)"
Yusuf replied, hoping that cleared it up enough for him.

Sadiq nodded, understanding somewhat.
"Yani bazı biliyorum ve bazı aklımda bu tutacağız yok. (So some know, and some don't I'll keep that in mind.)" He replied, though he figured it may actually be hard for him to give anything away if he couldn't speak with the teens anyway.

Daniel watched as Niccolo came in and told Aidan he would be going into his room to get to the tower. He wasn't sure what exactly Niccolo could want their, but he wasn't about to ask him. He smiled over at Aidan as he asked him what he thought of his painting.
"It looks great Aidan, I'm glad that you've tried out some painting with me." Daniel replied as he looked back at his painting and began to add another cloud.

Mikhail chuckled and nodded.
"Alright, may be easier today before the snow is 6 feet deep." Mikhail said with a chuckle.
"That way you get it before it really piles up so you can actually leave the house." Mikhail then added, rememberer the multiple times it had been almost impossible leaving his apartment building. He looked over in confusion at what Zafirah then said.

Kadir had seen Niccolo perform a leap of faith, although he had never done any himself. He wanted to though, he loved the idea of jumping off of the roof of the house. He wondered how a leap of faith could be done though with the water at the bottom frozen.

[Danilo Isaia]

“Of course Daniel! You’d join me in playing music. Plus; I’d been meaning to try out the other arts. Except Drama. Never really got into acting. Unless it’s something needed like pretending you don’t know someone in front of a stranger.” Aidan explained with a little laugh. “How’s yours coming along?” Aidan wondered trying to get a look at it.

After some time had passed; the four of the kids that were discussing about the snow had all decided that it would be best to try to dig through the snow. “I guess you’re right, Mikhail. I’m sure that when the snow comes back it’ll be easier to get through than all of this!” Steven said with a grunt as he tried to shovel the snow.

The beginning was tough. The snow was there, and nowhere else to put it. Seeing how some snow had fallen in. Mikhail had crawled into the space that had fallen out with the help of Steven and Kadir lifting him up into the crawl space. Mikhail had then shoveled as much as he could so the others could get shoveling with Mikhail when there was space enough for them to throw the snow not in the house.

“Come on, Kadir! The snow’s not that bad~!” Steven said with a laugh looking back at Kadir.

Zafirah had tried to shovel some, but she couldn’t get enough room in the little area with the house. “Mikhail? Could you pull me up there and out there? It’d be easier for me out there to shovel. I gotta get used to the cold anyway.” Zafirah asked as she giggled.

Azure was growing with excitement with all the new music she hears from the new band she now has discovered. Her interest grew with the tin whistle as well. She thought she might practice tomorrow.

Niccolo came up the security house down the street to see it covered in 4 feet of snow. He had seen that the door had been uncovered just enough for people to climb down and to get in, or to climb out. Opening the door, Niccolo said; "Good morning, Trey. How's everything going." Niccolo said with a smile.

"Besides the Templar's going crazy in Turkey? It's going absolutely swell! I've never been better! I've been trying to figure out what the assassin's over there are doing to help draw them away. I'm still confused as to why they just don't explain that the keys aren't with the Turkish." Trey said with annoyance.

"Remember, they don't believe us. They think we are trying to lure them away. If only we knew where the keys were. Ezio got rid of the keys sometime ago; I'm just not sure where. Actually I'm not even sure if he did give them to someone or even just kept them somewhere. It's very confusing." Niccolo explained.

"Well, I'll be around when you figure something else. I'll be thinking too, but I've come here for a different reason. I want the kids to have an animus in the house. I'll be explaining the creed to them very soon tomorrow. How about you see what's the most updated and current animus we can use to our advantage." Niccolo requested.

"So you are explaining them huh? I bet Aidan's going to be the one that puts most thought into it. I'll get you the animus, I'm sure we can definitely find something to record it as well." Trey answered Niccolo.

"Bene, I'm sure the kids will have a lot to do over the time of this new discovery of what they have been living in all this time." Niccolo replied. "I'll be getting back to the house soon enough, but I'll stay for a little while to check up on things on things in Turkey."

[Danilo Isaia]

"It's going good... don't look at it until it's done!" Daniel replied and covered his work a little. He didn't want to tell Aidan that it was for him, so he would just have to tell him not to look at it.

Mikhail had crawled into the space void of snow, and with the shovel he had been given, started to shovel out the spot. He made enough room for everyone else, and then began to shovel out the top of the snow so that they could begin to get out. He looked over at Zafirah as he asked him to help her up, and nodded.
He grabbed her by her waist gently and lifted her up, and through the 1 and a half foot of clear space between the door frame and the snow. He let her go and passed her up a shovel.

Mikhail crawled out of the space as well as they managed to clear the snow so there was only about 2 feet of it against the door. He continued to shovel it out and was glad when they managed to form a good enough path out. It wasn't continuous, that would have taken all day, but he had trudged down the snow at the end of the 2 foot long path into a makeshift ramp. All that was needed to do was get more of the snow away from the door, and they would be done.

Kadir had tried to help with the shovelling, but found himself inexperienced. He hated the cold blowing in from the outside, and having a coat on didn't help him.
"Man, we really need to get this done! Then we can shut the door. As yes, snow is that bad! It's gross and cold and blocks you in your house!" Kadir retorted when Steven teased him about it.

"Evet. Ben çocuklar ne yaptığını görmek gideceğim, sen gelmek istiyorsun? (Yeah. I'm going to go see what the kids are doing, do you want to come?)" Yusuf asked Sadiq, even though he figured that he wouldn't want to. He had to be polite and ask.

"Hayır teşekkürler, benim Eski falan oynamaya gideceğiz. (No thanks, I'll go play my oud or something.)" Sadiq replied as he got up out of his seat.

"Tamam, sonra görüşürüz. Daha sonra da ev telefon gerekecektir. Herkesin orada ne yaptığını görmek zorunda ve yeni oldu eğer bir şey. (Alright, I'll see you later. We will have to phone home later as well. We have to see what everyone is doing over there, and if anything new has happened.)" Yusuf replied as he got out of his seat as well, and went to go find everyone.

He quickly found them digging out the door.
"Man, that snow is troublesome here! Locks you in your own home!" Yusuf commented as he looked at how much snow they had dug out.


"This is nothing compared to the old country. Try digging through 8 meters of snow!" Mikhail commented back with a laugh.

Yusuf stared back at Mikhail.
"8... meters?! How is that possible?!" He questioned in confusion. He knew that Mikhail was from Russia, and that Russia was very cold, but 8 meters sounded like a complete over exaggeration.

"It's possible. Happened when I was young. Had to go through the balcony door of one of the people on the 3rd floor of my apartment." Mikhail replied with a laugh.
"I come from one of the most northern cities in Siberia, it snowed quite a bit there." Mikhail then said, hoping to clear up anything that Yusuf was confused about.

"Remind me never to go there..." Yusuf commented in response as he even tried to imagine snow that high.
"Siberia hmm? That is quite north. What is this city, I may have heard of it." Yusuf then asked as he tried to think of any cities in Siberia he had heard about. He knew there were assassins stationed somewhere in Siberia, he wondered if Mikhail had lived where they were.

"I doubt you have... It was Norislk. An old soviet mining city." Mikhail explained as he shovelled out another pile of snow.

"Norilsk... wait Norilsk?! That's run by that Nickel company right? The creed has been trying to shut that place down for years! Yusuf exclaimed, but not loud enough for Aidan and Daniel to hear.

[Aidan De Verita Alerio]

"Hmm, Hmm." Aidan smiled with his laugh. "Alright; I'll be right back, I'm getting thirsty." Aidan said as he walked out the door. He heard the kids and Yusuf talking about the snow outside and about Mikhail. Not one hundred percent about what was going on he continued on his way. He was about to make his first step when all of a sudden he saw something at the conner of his eye. He saw someone run into the hall way where Niccolo's and some of the kids rooms were. "Ciò la-?! (What the-)" Aidan said as he ran after the person. The person Aidan was chasing had robes that looked not from this time period. Hooded as well. He turned on eagle vision and saw the figure the same as he did before; Faded white. Running through; he had saw him run into the room of Niccolo's. He creped in slowly saying; "H-Hello? Who are you!?"

Aidan looked around and saw the person appear out of no where. Aidan stopped in his tracks confused as to what this was all about. He had appeared out of no where. Aidan's thoughts brought him to think, "like a ghost?" Aidan shook his head and thought that can't be. Until the figure walked through the bookcase that was located in Niccolo's room. "T-that's impossible. What is going on?.." Aidan said to himself. He walked over to the bookcase and took a look for a way to get in or around. He thought that there must be something behind it. He search for about a minute through cracks and looking around for levers of some sort. He was about to give up trying when he new nothing was working. He even tried eagle vision to find anything. Until a book fell out. He looked behind quickly and picked it up. "The End?" Aidan read off the book. Opening it to find nothing but black pages. He put it back after even looking at it with eagle vision to not even find a blood drop on the pages. When all of a sudden the book case began to move to the side. Aidan eye's widened at the sight. He walked in slowly and in extreme interest he had found a hall. It looked as if it was a ceremony hall. A religious hall. Aidan began to get more confused then he ever was. Weird 'A' like symbol banners. Lastly a book on a petistil. A big book that had the same symbol on the book as did the banners.

Niccolo eventually got out of the security office and made his way towards the house again.

Steven quite enjoyed the presence of Yusuf. Steven looked up to Yusuf as if he was his master and Steven was his apprentice.

Zafirah listened to Mikhail and asking; "Did you ever build tunnels with all that snow?"

When Yusuf had commented about them trying to stop the havouk in Norilsk; the kids attention went to Yusuf.

As time went by the snow got more and more pushed aside for people to get in and especailly out. The kids also began to head there way back in because of their progress on the snow. They found their work to be doing a good enough job that they could take a break for then. There was so much snow that they never could tell when enough would be enough; so they have to stop somewhere.

"Finally, a break!" Kadir groaned in exasperation.
"You should have helped with the shoveling! Get a taste of Canada while you are here!" Kadir then said with a chuckle. He looked over at the open door, and shivered at the cold air blowing inside.
"Might as well close this for the time being! Make it a little warmer in here..." Kadir then said as he went over and slammed the door shut. He instantly regretted it though when he heard a loud thud from the other side.

While Kadir had finished slamming the door; Zafirah and Steven's attention moved directly to Kadir and the door. "Did it just?..." Steven said as Zafirah finished; "Fall from the-" Then everyone said; "Roof?!"

Niccolo was walking to the door a little distance away. They saw them walking back in. But what they didn't see was the snow above them. Niccolo came closer and closer to the door when all of a sudden he saw Kadir forcfully making his way to shutting the door. "W-wait! Kadir, No!" Niccolo yelled out as he watched the snow fall onto the path that the kids had just finished clearing. "Dammit all! Merda!.." Niccolo began to yell. He calmed down with a sigh to look up at the part of the roof that Niccolo could reach to climb up that the snow wasn't on. He jumped up and climbed straight up to get to the door that lead to Steven and Kadir's hallway. He had to move over a bunch of snow in the progress, but it's the fastest way in at the time.

Aidan was about to grab the book he had just found as he heard a crash from the front. "Oh crap! I've been in here to long. I better get back!.. Man.. Well I mind as well tell Daniel what I've found. He's a part of this too. I can't do anything else with the time that i've been here." Aidan said to himself and he made his way out of the room. As he walked out and wondered how to get the bookcase shut. He grabbed the book again and placed it back. Triggering the bookcase and putting it back into place. He ran back to Daniel's room awaiting him to be questioned.

In Daniel's room he said; "I'm sorry about that; I'v- I've discovered something.. something that I don't think I was to find until tomorrow." Aidan explained to Daniel.

Azure had been on the computer the whole time. Unlike what anyone here knew yet. She was also looking at the camera system. She watched as the kids jaws dropped in the fact that the snow had fallen on all their hard work. She watched as he saw Niccolo walking back from a distance. Changing it to upstairs to see Aidan running back from what seemed to be from the other side of the house's rooms. She did wonder what Aidan was doing, but she wasn't to curious because she knew that she was unable to see what he was doing. Continuing to watch more songs from that band, she laid back with one headphone out to hear what the other kids with their snow problems would be saying.

[Danilo Isaia]

"Alright, see you soon." Daniel replied as Aidan left the room for a drink. Daniel took that time to get up and take a look at his painting from further back. He always found that you had to back up a little before actually being able to see what your painting looks like. He liked the way the painting looked so far, and so he went and sat in front of the canvas again, and continued painting.

"Of course I made tunnels. I made this tunnel system with some of my friends, and we had our own forts under the snow. It was cool, until one of the tunnels collapsed and one of them died. Our parents didn't lets us make any after that." Mikhail replied with a chuckle. Where he came from losing children wasn't all as uncommon as it was in North America. Children were often born sick, or became sick like him, and accidents happened, often times leading in death.
Mikhail then stared at Yusuf as he told him that the creed was trying to shut down Norilsk Nickel.
"Shutting down Norilsk nickel? That would shut down Norilsk it'self! The mines are the only reason people still live there." Mikhail replied, not sure how he should feel about the subject.

"Yes, we are aware of that. The Creed just feels that a company run by so many templars should be stopped. From what I have heard they take advantage of their workers and the safety standards are aweful." Yusuf replied wondering if he had made Mikhail angry with what he had just explained.

"Templars...? I don't support Norilsk Nickel they... they have done far too much bad. I just don't know how the creed could take down something like that. It's worth far too much money."Mikhail then responded and followed everyone in as they went. Mikhail turned and looked at Kadir as he then went to close the door. He was about to warn him, tell him that the snow on the roof could fall off, but was too late. He couldn't help but chuckle at the look on his face. He would have been angry too, but he had had it happen so many times in the past to him, that he could care less.
"Well, looks like we won't be getting out tomorrow." He commented as he set his shovel up against the wall and shook his head.

Kadir simply stared at the door in horror.
[********, belanızı versin! Neden damnit I-Allah yaptı! (********, damnit! Why did I- Allah damnit!)"Kadir yelled, not even wanting to see how much snow had fallen in front of the door.

Daniel looked up from the painting as Aidan came in, and squinted up at his face to judge his expression. He could hear that he was out of breathe from running, he sounded almost fearful.
"You've... discovered something?" Daniel questioned nervously, not sure whether he should be fearful or curious.
"Like what?" He then questioned as he got up from his painting and walked over to where Aidan was standing.

Sadiq walked up the stairs and into his guest room. He went over to his bags and picket out his Oud case, he had brought his instrument for something to do, as he knew that it would be hard to socialize without knowing the language. He unzipped the case and brought out his ornately decorated Oud, which held a very old and traditional look to it. Sadiq rested it on his knee, and began plucking away at the strings. He thought of a song he had heard a little while back that he wanted to play, it was somewhat of a traditional song, which was how he liked it. He liked the arabic songs, he loved how they sounded and how they were played. He began to play the song, hoping that it would not be too loud.

[Aidan De Verita Alerio]

Niccolo made his way into the little entrance finally and got his shoes and jacket off, and of course his snow shoes. He walked down the stairs to see the kids still at the down and Kadir freaking out. "Well, hello everyone. I see that the snow has been renewed onto our doorway." Niccolo said with a laugh.

"Poor Gaydir; Trapped in the snow. His worse fear." Steven teased Kadir while he put his arm around Kadir, lightly shaking him like a close buddy. Of course that didn't mean Steven felt like a close buddy at all. At the time; it was though.

Zafirah looked over to Mikhail laughing at Kadir's awful mistake. He seemed to take it very easy and not to care that all the work had been put to waste. She smiled as Mikhail calmness. "Well then I guess we'll have to find another way out. How about the way that Niccolo gets out? Care to explain Niccolo?" Zafirah said as she looked over to Niccolo.

"How about we discuss it tomorrow. When we tell Aidan, Daniel and Azure hmm?" Niccolo said with a smile.

"TELL US WHAT!?" Azure yelled as she put down her computer and unplugged her other headphone to run over in excitement.

Steven looked over to see Azure running towards them; "Uh oh~! Azure's interested~!" Steven said with a laugh.

"You'll just have to wait for tomorrow, Azure. Trust me." Niccolo explained.

"Yay, two special things tomorrow!" Azure said.

"Wait.. doesn't that mean that Zafirah knows too? What tis it!?" Azure asked anxiously


"Well.. I saw something go down the hall into Niccolo's room, so I followed it. I ended up seeing it go into and through the bookcase. I found a way behind the bookcase and there was this room. A room with banners and it was like a ceremony room. It had a book there too, I was about to read it; but I ran out because I was afraid to get caught. There were symbols in the room; like an 'A'. I think it has something to do with what Niccolo will be talking to us about tomorrow. I'm getting a little to anxious about waiting. I just don't wanna discover any more because I'm going to get over worked with all to remember." Aidan said as he sat down to think. "The one part I'm not sure your going to believe. Is the thing that I saw that lead me to it; was like a ghostly figure. I'm not sure what it was." Aidan finished explaining.

"Not like I wanted to go outside anyway..." Kadir grumbled as he glared at the closed door.
"All that work though... frozen fingers for nothing!" He then whined as he threw his shovel up against the wall.

"Guess this is Initiation into Canada?" Yusuf teased as he ruffled his brother's hair.
"You had to get used to snow anyway, it's going to do this every winter you know!"[/color] Yusuf then added with a chuckle. He thought that the whole situation was hilarious, he was glad that Mikhail shared his view as well. He didn't think he wanted to see the kid angry.

Mikhail smiled back over at Zafirah, she seemed impressed on how he didn't care about that had happened. He figured that it made him look easy going. He figured that he was somewhat easy going. He liked to be calm, but that didn't mean he wasn't cautious. He made sure that things were fine before he opened up, and allowed himself to be calm. So far, things seemed fine where he was. So he went with the flow. But he knew to be aware, people weren't always who they seemed to be. He had always been warned of such a thing, so many of the lullabys he had been sung told of evil in disguise. Mikhail knew how to watch out for trouble, and keep himself alive.
Mikhail looked over at Niccolo in confusion as he wondered how it was that Niccolo had gotten in and out with the house blocked in with snow.

"A room with banners...? A ceremony room... this sounds almost cult-ish." Daniel replied nervously. He remembered something he had seen before when Aidan then said something about a A symbol.
"Like this symbol?" Daniel then questioned as he held up his bracer to show the symbol adorned on it.
"It's on a few things in the house. I've been seeing it since we came here." Daniel commented as he looked closer at the symbol.

He then looked up at Aidan as he told him about the ghostly figure.
"T-that sounds a little crazy, but I know you wouldn't make that up Aidan. Maybe seeing figures like that has to do with your eagle vision." Daniel suggested with a nervous smile. He sure hoped that there wren't ghosts roaming the house.

Kadir was about to retort Yusuf's comment, when he heard familiar music softly floating through the house. It sounded like some of the songs he used to hear back in Istanbul. It was familiar and almost calming. He hadn't heard such music for some time.
"Hey, is that Sadiq's Oud?" Kadir asked Yusuf as he moved closer to the stairs to have a better listen.

[Aidan De Verita Alerio]

Looking at the bracer and Aidan had been wearing for years. He never even seemed to realize the fact that they match up. “A- A cult? No.. that can’t be.. Niccolo wouldn’t grow us up into a clu-…” Aidan began to question himself and worry about what all this paranormal and usual things that have been going on in this house. “I don’t know anymore. We’re forced to wait until tomorrow. We’ll just have to hope that it’s nothing bad at all. He wouldn’t be showing us something like a cult until things were ready. We practically forced him to show us.” Aidan explained in hope. “It could be something with my eagle vision.” Aidan replied back to Daniel about the ghost like figure Daniel asked about. “I didn’t get a good look on his or her face, but for some reason it’s as if I knew him; that’s why I followed.” Aidan almost felt like throwing the bracer on the down and away from him, but something about it didn't feel right to do that.

Steven walked over to music room and began to grab his guitar.

"Now Azure, please wait for tomorrow. Trust me; you'll be extremely busy tomorrow with all the excitement and new things tomorrow." Niccolo said as he looked over and walk beside Yusuf.

Azure leaned over next to the music room; “What chu doin’ in der’ Stevie?” Azure said with a wonder.

“Could you tell everyone that I wanna show Sadiq what music we play here. A few months ago me and Aidan learned a song when everyone was busy. It’s something I’ve been wanting to show everyone.” Steven requested.

“Sure! Hey Guys~! Yusuf; could you get Sadiq? I bet he wouldn’t mind hearing what music the rest of the group likes? I mean some of us; but he mind as well here some American Music. You know; USA and Canada that is.” Azure said with a little laugh.

“I’ll go grab Aidan and Daniel.” Azure commented as she ran up.

Zafirah looked over to Mikhail and Kadir as Yusuf began to walk up the stairs. “So what do you guys think of Yusuf and Sadiq so far? I know we haven’t really gotten to talk or to get to know Sadiq yet though.”

Steven waited for the rest of the people to show up. The real reason was to actually sing a song that kind of meant something to Steven towards Kadir.

Azure knocked on the door as she eventually got to the door. “Hey Aidan, Steven wants you. Come down when you can please!” Azure said from the other side of the door and went back down.

[Danilo Isaia]

"I don't want to sound disrespectful, but... we do live out away from the city, we are home schooled by him and we gave symbols on security bracers we wear at all times. Then we find a ceremony room? I-it sounds kinda suspicious..." Daniel said, hoping he wasn't offending Aidan by being suspicious of his father figure.

"A familiar figure... I really hope that's your eagle vision..." Daniel then said, feeling his nerves begin to fray a little. He didn't want to think of ghosts, the idea of death it'self scared the hell out of him.

Mikhail shrugged when Zafirah asked him about Yusuf and Sadiq.
"Yusuf seems pretty cool, and Sadiq seems nice. I understand him, I was the same when I came here. I knew little bits of english only." Mikhail answered, feeling somewhat bad for Sadiq.

"Of course he is cool! He is the coolest brother ever. He's a master assassin too, makes him even more bad a**!" Kadir said excitedly, he still couldn't get over the fact that he was seeing Yusuf again.

Yusuf nodded.
"Yeah, sure. He likes somewhat traditional songs from where we live, but I'm sure he can appreciate whatever you guys have to show him." Yusuf replied as he made his way up that stairs t go get Sadiq.

[Aidan De Verita Alerio]

"No offence taken, Daniel. Even though I live here and been here all my life; I still find it quite suspicious." Aidan agreed as he heard Azure knocking on the door and calling out for them. "I guess we better do something for the time being. Wanna take a break from painting to see what's going on? I'm sure everything will be fine. I'll make sure that if anything isn't right. We'll.. figure something out." Aidan said as he hugged Daniel and began to walk with him out the door and down the stairs. Meeting with Yusuf and Sadiq as well going down the stairs to the music room which they could hear Steven inside.

Niccolo saw the kids coming down the stairs and said. "I have even more of a special surprize for tomorrow. Daniel; I'm curious on your part especially. We'll have a busy day tomorrow. Aidan; like a promised, you'll know everything tomorrow. I've been meaning to do this for quite a long time now." Niccolo said with a smile going into the music room.

"Uh.. yeah.. I really wish I knew sooner. I'm kind of getting worried and confused. I'll wait though." Aidan said with nervousness. Aidan had no reason to go out and call upon Niccolo as a cult leader. He had no proof. They had a ceremony room. That could be for anything. Daniel is right that it could be. Aidan just wasn't sure that would be enough evidence at all.

Aidan walked in and said "You called, Steven?"

"Yeah, Thank you; do you mind if we play Whispers in the Dark for everyone?" Steven asked.

"Sure, why not. We've been meaning to show everyone anyways." Aidan accepted as he looked around for his bass, and strapped up. "So Sadiq will watch too?" Aidan asked.

"Thought he mind as well know the sound of American and Canadian rock. I mean other countries sound like this; but I'm sure Sadiq has never heard of it." Steven explained.

Zafirah smiled at the positive feed back from the two of them. "Well, lets not keep them waiting. It seems there about to start." Zafirah commented.

As the rest of the group began to flow in and sit down or even lean on the wall to watch; Steven began to strum the notes of the beginning of the song. The first notes he played was originally for piano, but seeing how Daniel didn't know the song yet; he decided to play the piano notes on his guitar.

"Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is just waiting
To turn your tears to roses" Steven sang in the beginning as the loud and echoing guitar came in. Aidan bass came in as well as Aidan nodded his head calmly.

"Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is just waiting
To turn your tears to roses

I will be the one that's gonna hold you
I will be the one that you run to
My love is a burning, consuming fire

No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
I'll light the night with stars
Hear my whispers in the dark

No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
You know I'm never far
Hear my whispers in the dark" Steven sang more and after the verse he began to head bang a little bit more as did Aidan.

"Whispers in the dark"

"You feel so lonely and ragged
You lay here broken and naked
My love is just waiting
To clothe you in crimson roses

I will be the one that's gonna find you
I will be the one that's gonna guide you
My love is a burning, consuming fire

No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
I'll light the night with stars
Hear my whispers in the dark

No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
You know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark" Steven sang as he flipped his whammy bar and began to play the songs guitar solo.

Looking at Kadir's eye he began to sing again, but a bit louder and more meaning into his voice.

"No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
I'll light the night with stars
Hear my whispers in the dark

No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes
You know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark

Whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark"
