Holo twitched her tail in annoyance. Her ebony sword that she had looted from a tomb was inside of the guards room. Holo looked at her wood elf friend sitting in the corner looking at the ground.

"Wrong place, wrong time eh?" She asked in her light reedy tone that she used when annoyed.

"Yep" said the wood elf. "Strange that we always get stuck being accused of the Thieves Guilds crimes." She said with a sad yet sarcastic tone.

"Meh." was the reply. The snow white Khajiit took off her boots and threw them at the cell door. "TAKE YOUR RANCID BOOTS BACK, YOU FALSELY ACCUSING BACKSTABBERS!" She yelled as the boots landed with a clank and a low thump on the ground.

"I bet they only arrested us because I'm a Nightingale." The wood elf said miserably, looking down.

"Oi… Terra, don't be like that. I think I was the main reason why your in here too." Holo said with light heartedness. "Hey, once we do our time, how 'bout we go get us some sweet rolls? On me."

"Sound good to me" said Terra with a hungry look on her face. "But you sure that they'll let us? I mean, they don't like our kind here."

"As long as we got the coin for it. Trust me, bought enough things here in Skyrim to make a master haggler cry." Terra's Khajiit friend mused, rubbing two fingers together.

"Hey um… Holo?" Started Terra with curiosity,"will I get my Nightingale armor back?" Holo scuffed.

"They have my stuff too." Holo said kindly, ruffling her friends hair. "Don't worry bout it, k?"

" What about your ebony Armor and weapon?" Asked Terra, "You must be mad that they have their grubby little hands on your stuff too."

"Ohohoh, I am. I'm ticked right to Arusa off! When I find that welp who put that necklace in my pocket. He ain't gonna like it!" Holo hissed, ears laying back.

"Lets try to worry about them sweet rolls right now. I'm starved "Terra said practically drooling.

"Terra and Holo?" Both of the two adventures looked up to see a guard carrying a key.

"Are we free? Can we leave now?" Terra asked eagerly, looking pretty happy.

The steel door slowly opened and the two slowly peered out, when they did, they saw a stranger standing behind the guard, he was a weird looking man with fancy clothes and looked like he was all skin and bones.

"You'd expect by the clothes he wears he be bigger than that." Holo snickered a little, trying to keep her voice low.

"By the order of Uaral Ulfric, you are free" said the the strange man who should probably eat some sweet rolls himself.

"Did you catch the real thief, you stupid fools" Said the Khajiit with a tone of irritation.

"DON'T YOU BE SMART WITH ME OR I'LL PUT YOU BACK IN A CAGE WHERE YOU BELONG CAT" said the now angry guard.

Holo hissed at him, then decided it would be best to keep quiet, after all ,she didn't want to be put back in that horrible cell.

"We have are reasons for setting you two free" said the skinny man with a worried look on his face "So just get your stuff and leave."

As they walked out of that wretched place with all of their armor and weapons back, Terra paused and looked back at what just happened her gold colored skin glistening in the sun.

"You ok?" said Holo "You look a distrot."

"I was just wondering, do you think our secret friend helped us out back there" Terra asked, filled with curiosity. Holo blinked, and shrugged.

"Possible." She responded.

"I mean, do you think she heard from the Night Mother?" Terra asked, Holo bit her lip and shivered.

"I don't have the slightest clue… I'm a Companion, not a Dark Brotherhood assassin."

"Ulfric Stormcloak probably asked her to do a favor, or she told him she'd… kill someone for him, you know Dark Heart." Said Terra lightly. Holo covered her ears.

"Please don't aisle my ears like that. I'm not one for your tastes to tell of your contracts." Holo ushered the Wood Elf out, happy that her sword was back at her hip. They both walked on, to the main entrance of Windhelm.

"Hey you" said a voice from behind them. causing the adventurous trio to flinch and look behind them. It was Dark Heart in the flesh wearing steel armor instead or here bloody Dark Brother Hood outfit.

"DARK-HART!" Holo cried "Your here … I mean your really here. Oh come here ya crazy Argonon!" Holo walked over and hugged the assassin, who sheepishly grinned at the happy Khajiit.

"Easy on the hugs there," Dark-Heart said trying to break free from the Khajiits death trap. "Your crushing my spine."

"Sorry!" Holo bleeped as she let go.

"Good to see you friend" Terra said with a smile " How did you do it this time?"The Argonon's grin got bigger.

"Well I was in town and I heard some of the people say; 'Did you hear about the new's, a Wood Elf and a Khajiit just got arrest for thieving.'" The Argonon said "I thought it was you two, so I went to Ulfric and told him I'd kill any Imperial of his choosing for free."

"Dang, well I say that you put yourself through some trouble to do that. Which Imperial did you kill?" Holo asked, sounded a little curious.

"I'm not going to tell, you'll hear about it from someone else for sure." Dark-Heart said slyly.

"So what brings you here Heart?" Asked Terra with curiosity.

"Well the Night Mother told me about a contr…" Dark-Heart paused, a shadow was cast over Windhelm. All three of them looked up to see a the large outline of a dragon flying above them. They heard people scream in horror at the site of the massive beast its scales where green color.

"Is that a Blood Dragon" Holo asked amazed by the site "that is so cool."

"We need to get out of here"! Dark-Heart yelped, grabbing Terra and the amazed Holo by the arms pulling them out of the way of the army of guards heading their way. The massive dragon swooped down and breathed fire on the Guards and the buildings that were around them.

"COME ON HOLO" Dark-Heart shouted "WE NEED TO GO."

"Cant we help them, Heart?" Terra asked, Dark heart could see a slight fear in her brown eyes.

"Look I know how you feel Terra, but we're powerless here, we need to get out of Windhelm, the guards have it under control!" the Argonon responded still keeping a tight grip on her friends arms. They went threw the massive doors that the guard opened to let the people out of Windhelm.

"GET TO THE STABLES" Terra yelled "our horses are there!"

"I know I know!" Dark-Heart said with an irritated tone "My horse is there too."

"Wait, you brought Shadowmere?" Holo asked snapping out of her amazement

"Good to see your back." Terra muttered, trying not to get mad at her friend for zoning out. They hoped on their horse's and head off into the snow heading away from the chaos behind them.
