Chapter 9
Why hello there people of Fanfiction, it's another chapter.
For some reason it doesn't say I've updated recently, but I've replaced the authors note with chapter 8, so if you haven't read that then go back and do so or you'll be confused.
Enjoy…
Disclaimer: I do not own Skyrim….. I thought it would be kind of obvious by now.
After the effects of the numbing spell had worn off, Vex and Falkir had snapped the ropes holding them, and immediately ran off towards the tavern.
They had come back with no makeup and dressed in fresh clothes. They stormed up to me, practically glowing with anger.
I grin at them "Hello ladies." I chirp, struggling to hold in my laughter.
"You're dead." Vex growls, he slides his axe from its place on his back and advances menacingly on me "I'm going to shave every piece of hair off of that scrawny body of yours. "
Uh oh…
I back away from him, my hands held out in front of me "Calm down, we're even now ok, let's just get back to our mission."
"Hell no, you're not getting of that easily." He snarls.
For the next hour, I am chased all across white run by Vex. People cry out as I shove past them trying to get away from the crazed lizard chasing me.
Sabrina and Falkir sit together on the steps to dragons reach sharing a massive bowl of popcorn. They watch us charge around, me screaming, Vex yelling in anger.
Sabrina stuffs a handful of popcorn into her mouth, chews for a bit and then swallows.
She nudges Falkir
"You think we should stop them?"
He shrugs "Nah, they'll tire out eventually."
"You're pretty calm about this."
"I'll get you both back later, when you least expect it." He says grinning mischievously.
"I look forward to it." She replies.
Our chase is ended suddenly when Vex skids round a corner a little too hard and ends up crashing into Irileth, sending them both sprawling. Food and merchandise fly through the air as they crash through a couple of market stalls.
Every one freezes, people stare with wide eyes and slack jaws.
Vex picks himself out of the mess of broken stalls and ruined merchandise; he slowly backs away towards the gates.
I glance warily at Irileth, who is just coming to her senses. She stands groggily, her eyes focus on me and Vex. "GET THEM!" she screams.
Vex turns and runs, followed by an angry mob of city guard and merchants.
A pair of guards lunge at me, and I tear off towards the gate, coming up to run beside Vex.
"THIS IS YOUR FAULT." I scream at him.
"JUST SHUT UP AND RUN." He screams back.
We dash through the gates, barrelling past a small girl and her mother. They are both knocked to the floor.
A large bearded man, probably the woman's wife, gives a cry of anger and joins the angry mob chasing us.
We keep on running, going past the stables, and several farms. Eventually we come to a large camp, full of mammoths and giants. The giants roar as we come close to their camp. Every one stops.
"Don't tell me they're going to chase us too." I groan… and then I run straight into one of the camps large bags of cheese.
It topples over, scattering mammoth cheese across the camp. Some gets trampled, some melts in the fire, and all of it is ruined.
Vex face palms "I hate you; I hate you with every fibre of my being."
If a random traveller were to gaze out across the grasslands around Whiterun, he would be treated to the sight of and Khajiit and an Argonian being chased by an angry mob made up of merchants, city guard, a dark elf, giants, and a herd of mammoths.
I'm slowing down; I can't go on for much longer. The mob, however are showing no signs of slowing down.
"Why won't they just give up." I call to Vex.
I turn to look at him, and watch in horror as the ground appears to swallow him up.
"WHAT THE HELLAAAARRRGGGGHHH." I scream as I fall into the massive crevice that I'd failed to notice.
I flail madly as I free fall to the cold hard ground, screaming all the way.
I land painfully in a tangled heap. I hear a muffled yelp beneath me, which turns out to be Vex. I climb off of him I stumble to my feet. I glance up at the narrow strip of sky visible; I can hear the mob searching for us, not one of them noticing the crevice.
"Well this is just fantastic." Snarls Vex sarcastically, he doesn't look injured despite the fall.
I check myself over, a couple of bruises, no broken bones. "It could be worse." I say glancing around, we're in some kind of pit, its dark and the walls and floor are covered in something white, sort of like string. It looks kind of like the lair of a…
Spider
Hell
A massive frostbite spider melts out of the shadows and scuttles towards us, hundreds of smaller spiders doing the same. A massive wave of the things surge towards us.
"God damn it Marlow, never say things like that." Yells Vex
"Like what?"
"Stuff like: it could be worse, because when you say that, it's always going to get worse."
I take a moment to think about this.
I'm jarred back to reality as one of the spiders launches itself at me; I cry out and slash at it. My claws slicing it nearly in half. Out of the corner of my eye I see Vex cutting through swathes of the things with his axe, but where one falls, three more take its place.
They're too close for my bow to be of any use, so I stick to using my claws.
We're pushed back against the wall of the pit as the wave of spiders surrounds us.
A glob of webbing flies at me, splattering across my midriff and pinning me to the wall. Another glob traps my left arm against my side. In a matter of seconds I'm covered completely except for my face.
"Bloody hell." I scream
And then I can see only darkness as the spiders swarm over me…..
Authors note: I've noticed that I haven't given you a description of Marlow (I think)
So here it is: His fur is snow white, but there are black rings along his tail, his eyes are icy blue, he's tall and scrawny.
Next chapter we'll be switching over to Sabrina's POV.
It's up to her and Falkir to save Marlow and Vex from the Frostbite spiders.
Should be interesting
I know this one was a little short but oh well; the next one should be longer.
As always review and tell me what you think.
