Light Flashes in the Darkness

Chapter 1

First Strike

A/N: So guys, I have decided to write another fanfiction, yes I know I haven't finished my other ones but I am struggling to pick up from my other Elder Scrolls fanfiction so I thought I would write another one. The pairing for this story is going to be Female Dragonborn x Serena, so to all those who don't like lady loving, this is not the place for you .

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from the Elder Scrolls series.

Yuri POV

I sigh, rolling my shoulder blades as I try to remove the ache from between my shoulder blades from where Vilkas jabbed me earlier in our brawl, despite everything including me being the Harbinger he still treats me as his Shield-Sister. I smile as my shoulder clicks slightly reliving some of the pain. I sigh as the ache lessens slightly and I feed some wood into the fire in front of me.

I made camp a couple of hours ago inside a cave as a heavy storm began to blow in, halting my progress to Dimhollow Crypt, I sigh once more before turning round and grabbing my pack from beside my bedroll. I reach inside my pack and pull out some dried meat and some wilted vegetables and I slowly chew them over as I think over what Isran said, I sigh as I bring up my faded map of Skyrim and look harder at the location of this place he wishes me to go, but if he thinks I am trudging through a heavy storm on my own he can think again! I may be a Nord but I am not that resilient or that damn stupid. I huff as the vegetables taste foul in my mouth but I force them down with a drink of water, I can't risk drinking out here, not when there are vampires around.

The bitter taste reminds me of these creatures, these parasites and I try to harden myself against any thoughts that these are people, if I wish to stop them from attacking the cities and slaughtering people I have to be able to stop showing mercy. My fist scrunches into a fist beside me on the ground. I cannot show weakness, not after everything I have seen, they are not innocents but cruel, blood draining monsters, at least werewolves don't take lives! I grit my teeth as I wait for my wolf to growl, I blink rapidly as I remember that I cast my wolf blood away just like Vilkas and Farkas did. Sometimes I forget that she is gone and isn't coming back. Although Aela doesn't understand why we would rid ourselves of our "gift" she continues to be a part of the Companions. But they were not monsters.

I sigh again as I feed more kindling into the fire to keep it blazing as the storm outside powers on. I am glad I chose such a deep cave; if it was any shallower I would freeze to death even with my Nord resistance. At that thought I shiver and I crawl into my bedroll with my bow and quiver beside me and just as I am drifting off into sleep. I feel it, another presence rubbing up against mine and my eyes widen with shock and I sit up and mentally pull myself away from that presence. What in Oblivion was that?! I wait a few moments, expecting the presence to come back, but it seems to have vanished as I find no trace of it as I search with my own magic, I frown before lying back down.

Maybe it was just a trick on my imagination? Maybe I am just too tired and my mind is playing up on me. I forget about it as sleep slowly descends on me.

Serena POV

(Inside the Crypt)

I… I can feel something out there…. It is coming this way. I have to think hard to even form thoughts as the spell wavers slightly and I touch the other presence, I need to get out of here. I try to move but I can't but nobody knows I am here, save for my father. Anger spikes in me and I manage to reach the other presence and just as I touch it, it darts away. I go to reach out again but the spell grabs hold of me and throws me deep back into myself and I sink as my mind slowly shuts down before it even had time to start up again.

I curse as I am slowly lulled back to being dormant.

I just hope someone finds me eventually.

A/N: So there we have it! A little beginning opener for you guys! I know there wasn't much in terms of descriptions but that will be added later on! Review to tell me what you think! - Bexaday
