CHAPTER EIGHT: Gory Demise

Sophie's P.O.V

Hours went by and I had fallen asleep at some point along the way, I wasn't fully asleep because I could still hear everything around me and feel John kiss my head from time to time making sure I hadn't fallen off Vector. We jolted forward as Vector came to a sudden halt which woke me up, I lift my head up opening my eyes trying to see for myself "Babe what's wrong?" I ask my sight still blurry; I heard Meeko barking and growling like crazy and I became worried. I looked over John's shoulder and saw three bandits; one was a male Orc with black slick hair wearing fur armor holding a steel axe, another was a female Redguard with short blonde hair with a leather helmet on and wearing fur armor just like the Orc holing a small iron dagger and the last a male nord with long brown hair and beard wearing Iron armor just like John's carrying a steel war hammer who I guess was the chief.

"Well what do we have here? A warrior and a pretty lady" The Orc yells out, oh god not again! I think to myself. They walk up to us weapons ready "We can do this the easy way or there hard way" the chief says to us as the Orc reaches out to grab me "Touch her and your dead!" John yells to him death glaring the Orc who backed off a little. "I guess the hard way" He says as he pulls out his war hammer and smashes it down into the ground in front of Vector startling him and step back standing on his back legs, the halter snaps making both John and I fall off Vector and onto the rock path; Vector then runs off to god knows where. I groan in pain from my back and head hitting the ground, I roll over onto my side and see John lying there in agony from his shoulder; as I was about to get up and help him I was grabbed by the collar and pulled up onto my feet by the Redguard lady. "Hmmm I'll think I'll keep her, I'm looking for a new women to pleasure me" The chief said smirking at me looking up and down my body, I felt like throwing up and kicking his ass for saying that.

"Don't you even dare!" John yells back trying to get up on his feet but the Orc stands behind him and kicks him back down "No one likes a hero" the Nord says walking over to John; the war hammer in hand. No not again, I can't lose him too! My eyes full of tears as I watch him lift the war hammer ready to smash it down against John's head. No I wasn't going to lose him like this! As if something snapped inside me I elbow the Redguard in the gut making her stumble a little, as she does that I grabbed the dagger from her hand and spun around slitting her throat with it. Both the Nord and Orc stop and look at me "You little bitch!" the Orc says running towards me axe swung back, as he swing at me I dodge him but just barely as he cuts my arm. I took my chance and stabbed the dagger into the back of his neck, on impact dropping to the ground dead; along with the Redguard.

"Well well well looks like this girl is more than just a pretty face, you've got guts" the chief says while turning to me, I just look at him; my eyes full of anger. "But too bad I've gotta splat them everywhere!" he yells running at me full force, he swings it back behind his head aimed at me; he swings it down on me but thanks to his heavy war hammer I can move faster than him and spin to the side dodging it completely as it smashes down it the path breaking some of the rocks. I pull my ebony sword out as I spin and as he's trying to pull his war hammer back up I swing my sword at him slicing through his neck decapitating him, his head landing on the ground rolling a bit down the small hill we are on. I was panting hard and wide eye at what I had done, I drop my sword my hands shaking; I've never cut someone's head off before... it felt so weird. I slowly step back trying to calm down but trip on a rock and fall backwards, expecting to hit the ground I instead feel warm arms around me body and my back hit something not as hard as the ground. I turn my head and see John looking at me concerned, my eyes soften and I turn my body around and wrap my arms around his neck hugging him.

John's P.O.V

I stare in disbelief, I had just watched Sophie kill two people and decapitated a third. I watch as she drops her sword and starts walking backwards, she hits a rock and falls back; I quickly get up ignoring the pain in my shoulder and catch her. She turns her head and looks at me, something in her eyes change and she moves her whole body to face me and hugs me softly.

She starts to cry on my shoulder and I hold her tighter and more protectively; Minutes pass when she stops crying and steps away wiping her eyes, I gently lift my hand up and rub her cheek gently with my thumb smiling at her softly. "I thought I was going to lose you too" she says trying not to break down again, holding my hand gently; I lean in a little "You'll never lose me, never again" I say softly leaning more pressing my lips gently onto hers. She kisses back just as gently while wrapping her arms around my neck again, I gently lick her bottom lip asking for entry which she happily accepts and parts her lips a little as I gently slip my tongue into her mouth gently tasting every part of her insides. We gently pull away and smile gently at each other "Come on let's try find Vector and Meeko before it gets dark" I say softly seeing its almost sunset, she nods and holds my hand as we walk down the path.

We walk for a couple hours and still couldn't find either one of them, I groan seeing the sunset; we didn't have any food or a bed roll to sleep in. We gave up looking for them and decided to find somewhere to sleep and hopefully food, we ended up finding a small open cave next to the river. I lay down on the ground tired and in pain from the earlier events of today, I sit back up knowing were going to need a fire to keep warm and survive the night; I get up and head out to find some fire wood leaving Sophie to rest in the cave for a bit.

~Time Skip~

I come back to the cave with plenty of wood to burn to make it through the night, I look around and notice Sophie wasn't in the cave and I got worried; I dump the pieces of wood and look for her. I walk around unable to see her and I get even more worried, I walk down to the river and heard the sound of splashing coming from the water and got curious; when I got closer I found the source of the splashing. My face becomes very hot and red at the sight before me, Sophie was half standing in the water naked; I stare as she washes herself in the water unable to look away again. But my little 'Show' ended when my eye caught sight of a big Mudcrab come out of hiding in the mud waiting for Sophie get near to attack her; oh no you don't! I think to myself as I pull my sword from my belt and walk up to it before it could get to her. I come up behind the Mudcrab and stab the sword right through its shell killing it, but as I killed it; it screeched and got Sophie's attention "What the hell?!" she yelled looking at the now dead Mudcrab covering her chest with her arms "It was trying to hurt you" I say pulling the sword out and picking it, I walk back over to the cave and put the dead Mudcrab on the ground and started getting the fire started so I can cook the thing.

~Time Skip~

We sit by the fire keeping warm and eating the cooked crab legs, after we finished eating we thought it would be best to head to sleep and get up early the next day so I laid down on the ground as Sophie laid next to me; I wrap my arms around her to keep her warm kissing her forehead wishing her a good night.
