Chapter One

"Tales, Stories, and Fairy Tales. What does any of this have to do with us leaving Yovik?" Syria asked with curiosity and annoyance.

I looked back at her with a smile on my face, not only because we were half way to Skyrim, but because I loved to always make Syria question my actions, because most of the time I was always the one that was right.

"Syria? Why do you always question me? Do you really want to know why we left Yovik?"

"Oh sure! Please Enlighten me!" Syria said with a bit of a anger in her voice. She was always the one to lose her patience to fast before anyone could explain.

"Well! I've heard stories on how Skyrim is the promised lands. Where the roads are paved with gold and jobs are plenty! Why else would we not want to go?"

"Because…We left in the middle of the night, Without telling mom or dad!" Syria said with frustration.

I gave a soft chuckle and without thinking I replied with a scowl "And so? I left them a note.. Sister you know were 18.. We can handle are selves."

"Handle are selves! We don't even know what's out there! Let alone what's in front of us! There could be a trap or even wor-"

Her words cut off just when she was about to finish her sentence. I whipped around to see what she was holding back on. Little did I know that right in front of us was a small group of bandits, armed to the teeth with steel armor and weapons.

"Syria.. why did you stop talking? You where in the middle of your sente-"

Just then Syria grabbed my arm and pushed me into the bush fast enough to where the approaching bandits didn't see me. I watched through the bush hoping they wouldn't see me.

"Hey! Who are you!" Growled one of the bandits.

"You know Rahim.. A pretty young girl out in the middle of no where at such a late hour of the night! Seems kinda…Interesting."

"Hmm your right Liam.. What do you say we take her back to the chief.. He will know what to do with her and more." He said as he gave a wink towards Syria.

"Syria.." I whispered

"Im sorry.." She whispered back as she sprinted off running from the bandits at full speed.

"Hey! Shes getting away!" said Liam with a harsh tone that startled me.

"Kill her!" Rahim said as he drew his ebony bow back.

My eyes widened as I heard those words "Kill her" Rang through my ears like a drum. Everything seemed to be playing in slow motion, until he released his bow. A faint moan came from Syria as the arrow pierced her back hitting her spine just right. I slammed my hand to my mouth without making a sound. I had just witnessed the one person that I loved in my entire life die. It was more than I could have ever bared. She had saved me.. One thought rushed through my mind.. At that moment all the grieve all the pain everything I felt, emotions twisting and turning in my chest just waiting to break free and I just kept replaying what had just happened.

I sat down quietly.. No tears where shed. Nothing. All I thought was "Its my fault."

"My fault… My fault…My fault" I repeated in my head like a broken record.

My fault….
