Unbound

A dragon, a fucking dragon Yang's mind told her. The blonde woman was stunned, too afraid to move. The black dragon atop the tower opened its maw and let out a thundering boom knocking Yang away from the chopping block. Her vision went hazy; all she could hear was a high pitch ringing. Yang stared at the ground for what seemed like an eternity yet it was only for a few seconds. Looking up in her partially blind state, she saw Ralof looking at her and shouting something incoherent but decided to follow him. Running inside the watchtower Yang began to see clearly again the ringing subsided.

"What the fuck, what's a damn dragon doing here?" She questioned Ralof.

However the man didn't answer her for he was talking to Ulfric about some legend. Yang didn't really care, she just wanted to get the blazes out of Helgen, and in fact Yang was sure that the village was blazing right now. The blonde woman felt someone shake her shoulder slightly she turned to see Ralof looking at her with calm eyes.

"Quickly we have to get out of here" he said stating the obvious "Up the stairs, let's go."

The Stormcloak soldier dashed up the stairs with Yang right at his heels both of them skipping two steps at a time to reach the top. Nearing the top of the stairs, Yang saw another Stormcloak soldier trying to clear away rubble frantically. Suddenly the wall burst and crumbled open, large chunks missing the man by mere centimetres. However the dragon's head filled the now very large hole in the wall and breathed fire onto him, giving him a fiery death. As quickly as it came it flew away to reek havoc elsewhere in the village. Ralof went to the gap and studied outside with Yang following behind, it was a burning chaos.

"See the hole in the roof," He began to explain "Jump through it; I'll be right behind you"

Yang nodded not even thinking how long the drop was or how far the roof was from the side of the tower, she just wanted to escape this hellish situation. Taking a short run up Yang jumped through the gap in the wall feeling the rush of adrenaline mixed with a little bit of fear pumping wildly in her veins. She landed inside the house avoiding some form of injury by doing a tuck-and-roll manoeuvre, keeping her momentum Yang made her way down to the ground and saw Hadvar motioning a boy to quickly come over for the dragon landed heavily making the ground tremble slightly. Hadvar turned around and saw Yang standing just behind him. The black dragon unleashed another jet of flame; luckily it didn't get anywhere near where they were. Yang looked behind her to see if Ralof followed her like he said he would be, to her confusion, he wasn't.

"You're still alive Yang?" Hadvar asked rhetorically looking over his shoulder at the blonde.

"Yeah I'm still alive for now" Yang chuckled despite of the situation.

"Well follow me if you want to stay that way."

Hadvar started running to the other side of the village, Yang followed closely behind for she had no idea about the layout of the burning town. The duo slipped to what seemed like a back alleyway. Yang could hear the shouts of soldiers and the terrified screams of the town's people, but she knew she had to stay calm if she were to make it out of here alive. Just when they were about to take the back stairs of a burnt down house, the dragon perched itself on the wall behind them, its wings were like black shrouds, the talons were like scythes and its scales were like sickly black-grey plated armour. This dragon was the very definition of death. Hadvar and Yang stood stock still as it took another soldier's life in front of them with its hot breath of fire. After the scaly beast was satisfied that the man was dead it took to the skies once again.

"Come on this way" Hadvar ordered as he moved forward to the stairs.

Yang just stayed silent kept her pace with the man. After weaving through the small house they made it to the street, imperial archers were constantly looking up and aiming at the dragon that swooped down above their heads, the arrows having little effect on its tough hide. Much of the village had been destroyed, it wouldn't even be a called a village by the time the dragon is gone. Yang could feel her heart beating against her ribs like a hammer frantically hitting a piece of metal on an anvil as sweat dripped down her forehead and neck. After a few more minutes of running Hadvar lead Yang to what she believed was the barracks of the town. Yang saw Ralof running up to them a war axe in hand ready to fight, the blonde woman was glad that he was ok but thought differently.

"Ralof, you traitor!" he scowled, pure hatred trickling from his words

"You're not stoping us this time Hadvar! We are going to escape and you're not going to follow us." Ralof looked at Yang there was a slight frown on his face but his words had no malice towards the imperial Nord.

"Do whatever you want, but the next time I see you I'll kill you! Come on Yang, follow me." Hadvar spoke angrily looking at her as well.

Yang was torn as to whom to follow. She listed down what each man had done for her before and after chaos started. Ralof was a good man, fought for what he believed in, Yang found that there were no bad points during their time together. But with Hadvar as nice as he was, he still sided with the imperials, his captain neglecting the fact that she wasn't on the list yet still sentenced her to death. Also the way the man spoke towards Ralof, it was a side she didn't like to see. So Yang made up her mind.

"Hadvar as nice as you are, I'm going with Ralof," Yang exclaimed. "Before the blasted dragon arrived you imperials sentenced me to the block when I have done nothing to deserve it. I'm sorry but to follow someone who is on sides with them, I can't trust you."

"Fine!" he shouted. "But just a fair warning, the next time I see you, I'll kill you too."

Hadvar ran towards the other side of the barracks. Ralof grabbed Yang by the shoulder, leading her to the door closest to them as they safely entered inside the stone building. Yang hoped that there wouldn't be wanted posters of her after this.

Author's note:

Hey everybody xXIyra16Xx here

I know that this chapter was rather short but some of the game quests are pretty damn long you know. So this chapter will have a second part - Unbound pt 2.

Anyway I also came up with another RWBY fic except this time it's an AU and before anyone takes a guess no it's not going to be any of the common AU's you read. Let's just leave it at that.

As for Operation Family Bonds next chapter, I have given it the title –

An Old Debt.

You guys can go wild as to what will happen next in OFB, you are also free to PM me your thoughts as to what will happen, who knows I might put them in the story itself ;)

Ok all that aside, hope you enjoyed this chapter, review please if you can I'm kind of tired of not having any guidance from the lack of reviews. Again thanks for reading my stories.

This is xXIyra16Xx signing out :3
