It was late in the afternoon when Aela had arrived with Skjors body, everybody stood in their grief as they watched Skjors motionless body go by them. It was close to midnight when the funeral had ended, people hardly stayed to talk they just left to mourn in their own homes.
The companions all gathered in the main room raising their cups in Skjors name and drank in silence. Krissy sighed putting her mug down finally deciding it was time to retire for the night, she left the table and had gone down stairs. She was about to go to bed when Aela had walked into the room. "We need to speak." She said with a straight look on her face. "About?" Krissy asked getting up from her bed looking at Aela. "About what happened, we cannot let the Silver Hand get away with this and you know it." Aelas expression turned to anger and grief, she looked down biting her lip trying to hide it. Krissy blinked watching her carefully. "You wish to avenge Skjor?" She asked.
Aela quickly looked back up to her. "Indeed and I want your help with this, I already know that the others wont truly understand my intention for this but you were there also, I want your help." She said taking a step towards Krissy, she talked a bit more quietly this time just incase anybody was near.
Krissy blinked looking away from her thinking for a moment, she too felt like Skjors death needed to be avenged. 'He shouldn't of died like that.' She thought to herself, she sighed heavily looking up at Aela. "What's the plan?" She asked keeping her eyes on Aelas. "I knew I could count on you." Aela smiled. "Lets talk about this in my room, it's more private and that way no one can get a sense of what we are doing." Aela gestured Krissy to follow her and she did.
They went to her room and spent about an hour talking about their plans. "If you leave tomorrow morning than you can be back by the evening and everybody will think you're just on another job." Aela said pointing to her map showing Krissy where she was to go, Krissy nodded in agreement to the plans. "We are going to make these bastards pay for what they have done Shield-Sister you can be sure of that." Aela rolled up her map and handed it to Krissy, she nodded in agreement to Aelas statement and went back to her quarters to sleep.
Morning came and Krissy was already up and heading out the door, she was in such a hurry she wasn't looking where she was going and ended up running right into Vilkas causing her things to fall. "Forgive me I wasn't paying attention.." She quickly spoke gathering her things up before Vilkas could spot them.
Vilkas furrowed down his eyebrows noticing her strange behavior. "That's alright...Where you headed too." He asked crossing his arm raising an eyebrow at her. "Aela has a job for me, I'm off to get it done so that way I can be back by this evening." She gave him a slight smile looking up at him. Vilkas kept his eyes on her staying in place blocking her from leaving, he wasn't oblivious like his brother he knew something strange was going on by just looking her in the eyes.
Krissy tilted her head in question seeing the kind of look he was giving her. "Is that all?" He asked her. "Yes?" She responded in question examining him closely. "Alright then.." Vilkas said quietly moving out of the way. Krissy nodded to him walking past him, Vilkas watched her feeling an un easy feeling in his stomach knowing there was more then what Krissy had told him.
Rorikstead the town closest too her destination even though the tower she was supposed to go to was miles away. She made her way to Rorikstead getting there past noon, she examined the little farming town as she passed through. She saw a young man working a farm with an older one watching him, she just looked back forward and kept walking.
Krissy turned off the road walking into the open field, she had to walk up a few hills leading her through a few trees, the soil was moist and it was hard to grip her foot on the ground but she managed. She finally made it on top but she quickly got down low once she realized how close she was to the Silver Hands tower.
She peaked her head a bit to see how many were stationed outside. '1...2...9, there's 9 of them, shouldn't be too much trouble.' Krissy slowly un sheathed her bow quickly shooting arrows out taking them out, the last one began to run towards her location but she was able to take him out before he got too close. She smirked putting her bow away and carefully sneaking over to the tower making sure she wouldn't alert anyone. She wanted to do this quick and quiet with no trouble.
She entered the tower carefully watching out for any traps, she noticed two women guarding the first set of stairs, she quickly hid behind a wall and shot out arrows at them taking them out. She made her way up through the tower fighting a few of Silver Hand on the way but it wasn't that difficult, her job was to take out the leader of this place and take the plans off of her of their next move.
Krissy finally made it to top, she carefully walked out seeing that the obvious leader standing in the room had her back towards her. "I thought I smelt dog." The woman said turning around to face Krissy. "What? Only one? Well the companions must not really care about you than because you're not leaving here a live!" She yelled un sheathing her sword running towards Krissy, Krissy quickly un sheathed her battle axe blocking off the leaders hit.
"FUS!" Krissy only shouted the first word of un relenting force to just knock the leader back so that Krissy could take a quick swing hitting the woman in the gut. "Ah!" The leader cried out in pain holding her stomach, she then fell over dead her spilling blood creating a puddle underneath her. Krissy put her battle axe back an searched through the woman finding about 89 gold, some potions and then the plans she was sent to get.
Krissy smiled putting the plans away in her pack and turned to leave, she was happy that she was able to finish it so quickly but it was a small camp anyone who could throw a sword around could probably finish them off just a fast. Krissy walked back down the tower making her way out and on her way back to Whiterun. 'Hopefully I can get back in time for supper.' Krissy thought to herself feeling her stomach growl already just by thinking about Tilmas home cooking but she had to eat the bread she brought with her and have that hold her till she got home.
Hours passed and she finally made it back to Whiterun, she was almost in a skip heading towards Jorrvaskr not only was she looking forward to some food she was also looking forward to seeing Vilkas. Even though she knew he didn't like her like she liked him, she still enjoyed being around him it was better than nothing.
She sighed slowly frowning remembering what he had said. 'It was only one night.' Vilkas spoke those words to Farkas as if it were nothing, too Krissy it was more than nothing. She felt like she had really fallen for him, fallen in love but it turned out she was the only one who felt like that.
She entered into Jorrvaskr smiling seeing everybody at the table eating, she was just in time it seemed. Vilkas was sitting next to Farkas like always and they were having their own little conversation but when she had walked in Vilkas cut off from it looking at her. Krissy looked over at him and smiled slightly, Vilkas returned the smile giving her a small wave.
She was just about to walk over to sit next to him but Aela quickly grabbed her arm stopping her and gestured her to sit next to her instead. Krissy quickly took the seat next to her and pulled out the plans she had gotten from her pack. Vilkas frowned seeing how Krissy sat next to Aela instead of him. 'Oh well what should I expect...' He thought too himself sighing, he took a bite of his food and than looked back up over in their direction. He saw them in a hushed whisper looking at something he couldn't really see, he tried to peek his head up but it was no use. "Something wrong?" Farkas said looking at Vilkas. "I don't know yet.." Vilkas said in a mumble.
He couldn't shake the feeling that their was something going on, something that wasn't right and probably wouldn't end well. He sighed not liking this un easy feeling he had been feeling ever since she left this morning. "You think Aela and Krissy are up too something?" Farkas asked raising an eyebrow at Vilkas. "Because I do, I went to speak to Aela this morning about a job and she just quickly brushed by me with out a word, there was a strange feeling to it." Farkas spoke looking over at them as well. "Good than I know it's not my imagination." Vilkas said taking a drink of his mead keeping his eyes on them.
Even when she was far down the table from him he could still smell the wolf inside her, every time she was near he could feel his get excited and it was hard to hold back. He didn't understand why it felt this way, he's never had this kind of thing happen to him before especially with a woman who he only slept with once. 'A beautiful strong willed woman...' He forced the thoughts out of his mind pouring himself another cup of mead.
Krissy finished eating the food she piled on her plate and then grabbed some fresh pie that Tilma had just brought out, she licked her lips looking at it hardly being able to wait to dig into it. "We will speak more of it tomorrow Shield-Sister I'm going to go prepare." Aela said nodding to Krissy getting up from her chair and walking away.
It seemed as soon as Aela got up from her seat Vilkas had sat down right in it. "So how was the job today." He asked looking at Krissy watching her eat her pie. Krissy quickly took a drink of her mead swallowing down the bite of pie with it. "It went rather well actually, their wasn't much trouble." Krissy shrugged taking another bite of her pie. Vilkas sighed rubbing his forehead. 'I know she's lying...' Vilkas looked back up at her. "Krissy when you're finished eating could you come to my room? I would like to speak with you." Vilkas quickly got up not even waiting for her response and left the room. Krissy blinked watching him walk away, she felt butterflies lift in her stomach once the image of her and Vilkas alone in his room popped up in her mind. She shook her head and quickly finished her pie and mead, she got up quickly heading for the stairs.
Krissy made her way downstairs quickly changing out of her armor in her quarters and then slowly began to walk towards his room, she sighed feeling a bit nervous but she went a head and walked in. "Is there something wrong?" She looked at him tilting her head in question. "I don't know.." Vilkas spoke out walking to her and reaching over her closing the door, she watched him feeling her butterflies return.
Vilkas walked back a few steps giving her room to walk more into his room. "You tell me." He crossed his arms furrowing his eyebrows down at her. "What are you talking about?" She gave him a nervous smile feeling her butterflies turn into knots. "Yes you do and I know you're lying to me." He said a bit aggravated. "Krissy whatever you're doing with Aela it won't turn out well for either of you." He spoke out with more of a serious tone to his voice. She looked at him a bit shocked at this sudden behavior but then she felt a little anger stir up inside her. 'What's it to him? Why does he even care anyways!' She glared at him a little, she could feel the wolf inside of her stir up to her emotions. "Why do you care? It's non of your business what I do anyways!" She put her hand on her hips glaring at him.
Vilkas sneered at her not liking her tone. "Of course it's my business, you're important to-" Vilkas cut himself off. "To...To the companions, you represent us!" He quickly spoke out glaring right back at her. 'I'm only just worried for you're safety don't you see...' He thought to himself sensing her own anger. She winced as if he had stabbed her. 'Was that what he was really going to say?' She looked down feeling her blood boil inside her, she quickly looked back at him with sharp eyes. "That's all I am important too then? If that's it then why do you care? I'm just another companion remember, another woman." She clenched her fists.
'I care about you!' He wanted to say but he couldn't bring himself to it he felt his anger rise up just as hers was. He wanted to yell right back at her but nothing could really come to his mind, he was afraid he would say something he didn't mean or... "If that's all than I'm going to go, good talk!" She spat out at him, she turned around opening the door but Vilkas quickly walked up to her slamming the door back shut, and when she turned around to protest he quickly pinned her up against the wall bringing his face close to hers.
Krissy just stood there surprised at his movement. "Vilkas..L-let me go." Krissy stuttered out trying to struggle but he only gripped her tighter. Vilkas just kept staring at her keeping his eyes locked on hers. He clenched his jaw feeling the wolf inside himself claw at him, he could sense hers doing the same which only made it worse. 'I need to let go of her..' He thought to himself but just stayed where he was at. He sensed her nerves un settling and her arousal rise. She couldn't help but feel like she just wanted to jump right at him, and tear his clothing off.
She still felt angry with him but that made it worse for some reason. "Vilkas.." She said trying to keep her voice serious. He quickly grabbed her head tilting it to the side bringing his face close to her neck, he slowly smelled her taking in her newly strong scent. It was still sweet but had a new scent to it that drove him crazy, Krissy felt her heart beat increase feeling the excitement rise inside her.
Vilkas pulled his head away slowly, he looked back up at her deeply into her eyes, he saw the color of her eyes slowly change as was his. 'Dammit why is this so hard.' He thought gripping her wrist tighter, he moved his other hand down and up her shirt slowly grabbing her left breast. She jumped a bit feeling his bare hand grip her, she just kept her eyes on his feeling her lust rise, he massaged it slowly looking deeply into her eyes his breathing becoming deep.
Krissy couldn't help but bite her lip, she felt warmth spread through out her lower body. Vilkas slowly pressed his body up against hers, pressing his erection into her. Vilkas kept tightening his grip on her breast until he heard her moan, as soon as she let it out he quickly took his hand out slamming her up against the wall even harder kissing her roughly. She moaned out throwing her arms around his neck, he pulled back taking a breath picking her up a bit keeping her against the wall.
She wrapped her legs around his him locking her lips back onto his. Vilkas put his hand behind her grabbing onto her bottom, he slipped his tongue into her mouth. He pulled back kissing her neck and then biting down onto it hard, she moaned out his name tightening her grip around his neck. 'I shouldn't be doing this.' He thought to self pulling his head back, he looked away breathing heavily.
He slowly put her down back onto her feet and letting go of her. "Vilkas?" She asked taking a step towards him. He shook his head putting his hand up to stop her, he slowly sat down on his bed looking down rubbing his forehead. Krissy tilted her head at him in question. "I'm sorry it's just.." Vilkas looked to the side keeping his eyes from her. "What?" She asked feeling her heart ache, he confused her a lot. She could smell his want, his lust, and his arousal. So why was he holding back.
He shook his head again feeling his stomach twist. 'I shouldn't keep doing this too her, it's hurting her..' He slowly looked up at her seeing the confusion in her face. "You should...You should probably go, it's late and.." He looked back down closing his eyes. Krissy blinked in confusion, she slowly turned around opening his door. "Krissy!" He quickly looked up at her, she stopped slightly turning her head to him. "What ever it is that you and Aela are doing.. Just be careful.." He whispered feeling his own heart to hurt, it hurt to resist her , to ignore her like he has been for the past months.
Krissy looked back ahead with a frown spread across her face, she walked out of the room closing the door behind her. 'I don't understand..Did I do something wrong?' She thought to herself feeling her heart break a little bit. She just let out a shaky sigh and went back to her quarters, she just wanted this day to end and start all over tomorrow. Aela had more plans after all she needed to stay focused. 'Maybe I should just stay away from Vilkas..' The very thought of it made her heart hurt it made her wanna be sick but she just forced the feelings away and closed the door behind her retiring for the night.
