"Well well, aren't you something?"
"Uhh, thank you?"
"I'm a Thane, you know…"
"T-that's nice…"
"No woman has turned me down yet…"
"Umm…"
"You and me, we should go back to my place..."
"I'm sorry I really can't…"
They just… they just don't get it.
Not all of these men are bad guys. Some of them are kind, have a business, and are easy on the eye… But I can't bring myself to accept any of their offers. It's not like I'm afraid, I have been with a man before, but…
It's because of him.
Sibbi Black-Briar.
After I gave him everything I had and after all we went through, he betrayed me and killed my brother. Ever since then, I haven't been able to see a man the same way as I used to. Instead of seeing them as just that, a man, a human being like me, they are monsters. Waiting with jagged claws and open jaws to swallow me up and spit me out like I am nothing.
Because of him I live in fear every day, looking over my shoulder and around every corner for danger. For any sign of him coming after me like I know he will. The question is when and how, and who will be there to protect me? He has taken my brother, my shield, from me. I have nobody.
I am alone.
I am afraid.
Because of him.
