Hawke has many secrets she is keeping the least of which is her sister being a mage. Her name may be Hawke yet she is an altogether different kind of predator.

How can she keep her family safe and watch her as she finds new family.

Very AU! Will mostly follow the story. (Not killing Bethany)

Story may become graphic. Most Chapters will be T rating Will notify when ratings will change.

POV may change as well.


From grace she fell beneath the ashes

That forced her to her knees
Cut her open wide

To bleed her body dry of feeling
The wounds will form no scars
Only memories

Tearing at the scars, she's open wide
Screaming 'til her lungs collapse
Behind her cold and vacant eyes,
The innocence that dies inside.

The tears that line her face.
The anguish
The taste that haunts her lips
Closing loveless eyes

To bleed her body dry the feeling
Of breath escaping lips
Closing lifeless eyes.

Tearing at the scars, and now she's open wide
A broken bitter heart that's stained in black
Behind her cold and vacant eyes.
The innocence that dies inside.

Prey: The Agony Scene


Journal:

That's it one year after arriving to Kirkwall. It's been over a year since I have been able to write. My old journals are now in ashes in Lothering. I used a small amount of money to buy a new journal.

Life will become interesting. We have just stopped running from the Blight and finished working off our contract for Athenril. We lost Carver to the blight. Mother blames me. She thinks because of the gift that I am responsible. I admit I feel guilt as well for my failure to get us all safely free from Lothering. We made a new friend her name is Aveline. I worked out a deal with Athenril that I would work off the debt for Aveline. She is not cut out for smuggling life. Aveline when we got to Kirkwall joined the city guard. I wish her the best.

Aveline has turned out to be a great friend. She is in the guard and she has trusted people watching Bethany and I to keep us safe and I know some of her reports have misdirected information. She has also helped Bethany hide from Templars. For that alone, I will consider any debt between us paid in full. She is a great older sister.

So two days ago Bethany and I tried to join an expedition for entering the deep roads. We were turned down. Bartrand wanted to have nothing to do with us. However, we met a dwarf named Varric. He wanted us to come up with 50 sovereigns in order to help fund the expedition in order to get some of the profit. We will see.

I will have to make sure Varric does not find out about me. He already knows about Bethany. We were able to keep my secret away from Athenril and her crew. Aveline knows. She found out in our escape to Gwaren but she said she would keep all of our secrets. My instincts tell me to trust her and Varric.

Varric is a funny story telling dwarf with a crossbow named Bianca. He cares for her like I care for Fang and Talon. He seems to have many contacts in many places and has a thumb on the pulse of this city; both the legitimate ones and the not so legit ones. I sense a story behind the name of Bianca and maybe in time I will hear the story. Varric is calling Bethany Sunshine and somehow everyone here is calling me Hawke. I think Varric is protective of Bethany. She is so sweet natured who could blame him.

Tonight we met a Grey Warden mage named Anders. He has talent for healing. We did a job for him and he will give us maps to the Deep Roads. He makes me nervous. I will watch him closely. Bethany is star struck by him. If he hurts her I will end him and the fade spirit in him. Templars will be the least of his worries.

Tomorrow is a busy day we will be going out to Sunder Mount for Flemeth and we will be helping a woman named Captain Isabella, and we will be doing a job for a dwarf named Anso. No rest for the weary.


Please review - I would like to know if there is real interest in this story. I am still new to writing fiction so please bear with me.
