The End's Meeting - (AC4) (Rewrites)

Part 12: Preparation

Edward sat on a chair, across to the couch Mary was fast asleep in.

He looked upon her, and saw her dozing off. Her stomach rising and then falling as she took slow deep breaths.

It was already morning and Edward woke up an hour earlier and got dressed for the day.

He placed his legs over a table and relaxed, just waiting for Mary to wake up.

For one he didn't want to wake up her himself, despite last time it was under the alias of James Kidd, he woke "him" up in the middle of his rest and it did not go..well.

Let's just say he had to get some form of..medical treatment. So Kenway stood there waiting.

"Any time now," He kept thinking to himself.

Edward noticed out the window about how bright the sun was, it's rays were beaming upon their HQ.

I mean it was always bright and sunny in the Caribbean on a good day, on top of that, the breeze was perfect.

It was a really good day to do some exploring, they didn't have anything to do in the moment, no contracts or jobs.

Edward didn't want to deal with the Prince or the Templars nor Assassins at the moment.

Unlike most wars in history, which typically end at a certain date within years, or months.

The underground war between the Assassin's and the Templar Order has been going on for centuries.

Each side struggling for a foothold on the world, both favoring one side or the other in conflicts throughout history.

And the Prince was an entirely different issue. Edward had no clue if the Templars controlled it, or if it was just a normal privateer sponsored by the Royal Navy.

A large three decker Man o' War like that in the Caribbean can wreck havoc upon pirate vessels and crew, it had to be stopped somehow.

If caught or sunk, would earn her capturer a handsome sum of coin.

Edward, being sort of selfish still wanted to get his coin.

Still, he was waiting for her to wake up.

It was a couple on minutes, until Edward heard Mary groaning, she was waking up.

She yawned and stretched her arms around, like a child waking up from its slumber.

Mary then gasps, she frantically  looked around her surroundings, oblivious to what happened the previous night.

Why was she here? What was this place? Who carried her here?

"Good morning."

Edward said, and then standing up.

"Wha- what Edward? What happened? Where are we?"

She was confused. Mary still looked groggy and tired, but she would manage for the day.

Her hair was sort of messed up though, on top of that she sort of smelled like the bottom of a pigs den due to her vomiting session.

"Well...let's see. You got drunk in the tavern and then I carried you here. Our little base."

He explained.

She had to admit though, the base looked nice and tidy.
It had fancy furniture and it was very clean, unlike many places in Kingston.

"I'll tell you more about it, but first you need to wash yourself up. You smell like the ass-end of a donkey."

He said, poking fun at her. She groaned, rolling her eyes. Man, she did smell like ass, literally shit.

"I thought we could explore a bit, y'know? Might run into Ade!"

He poked.

"Alright alright, calm your tits Kenway! I'll get my donkey to the wash!"

She says.

Edward backed off putting his hands in front of him, jokingly.

She went behind the house to get herself washed. When doing so, she began to think, about herself, about Edward.

"I did the right decision, I've been hiding my true self for too long."

"What's this weird feeling every time I'm with Edward?"

"Why does Thatch have such a lar-"

She paused at the thought of Thatch, she didn't want to think about what it. Mary chuckled at the thought of their conversation back in Nassau, Ed Thatch never liked it when his mates talked about his butt like that.

When she completed cleaning herself, she got dressed and met Edward back at the house.

He noticed he made a breakfast.

"Umm? What is this?" She asked.

"Lass, I made breakfast. There something wrong?"

Edward asked her, she seemed sort of on edge about breakfast.

Breakfast? She's never had a proper breakfast in years!
I mean, it is food. Bacon and eggs sure sound better than a bottle of rum right now.

So, yeah she took the opportunity.

"Uh thanks Edward, I guess."

She sat down on the chair across from Edward on a circular table.

After which, she grabbed the fork, then the knife, first she started with the eggs, sunny side up type.

They were gone...

Then the bacon, oooo, juicy bacon.

Whoops, it was gone too.

Her entire plate...just gone, within minutes.

Edward hadn't even bit into his first bite yet, his fork still going to his mouth and he kept it that way.

He was so surprised at seeing Mary devour food so fast that he stood in that pose for such a long time.

His mouth gaping open like a hound dog.

She was done, and Mary notices his face.

"What are you staring at? You look like a pocky bird with that face!"

She poked fun at Edward's face of surprise. His fork still not in his mouth.

"Uh-um nothing it's ju-just I've never seen you eat before, let alone devour food in such a way."

Mary chuckled at his stuttering and comments on her eating abilities.

She found it rather....cute.

"Well, I'll be waiting Kenway, at the door."

She got up from the table and collected her weapons, after which she walked out of the door and sat around.

She was ready to explore.

Sorry guys for the short chapters! The next ones will be much longer!
