Chapter 14: The Thalmor attack!

The last two moons have been crazy. Kazbar and Valdis are engaged! They are going to get married a week after Valdis's thirteen birthday. Kazdar sent a long letter to the family back in Elsweyr telling them to come.

Tori's mother just finished working on Valdis's wedding dress. We are on our way over to their house for supper and to look at the dress. Rhonda is busy with Wayer so she can't make it over until later.

Ivan and Kazbar are busy with something else so it's just the three of us. We soon reach the house and Tori lets us in. "Hello girls." Susay, Tori's mother greeted us.

"Hello." Valdis and I say in unison.

"Where's the dress?" Valdis asks excitedly.

Susay walks us over to where the dress is hanging. It is a sunny yellow Valdis's favorite color. We all gaze at it in amazement. "It's beautiful!" Valdis says happily.

"I'm glad you like it."

"I do I really do. Thank you!"

"You are very welcome."


A little bit later we are sitting down eating. Susay cooked a chicken with leaks for supper. We are just sitting there having a good time when suddenly the door to the house is thrown open.

Darby and Susay immediately ran to the door. "What is the meaning of this!?" Darby yells.

In walks a tall Thalmor with a weapon drawn. "I know that your family has been worshiping Talos. You will now pay for your crimes!"

Before anyone has time to react, more of them rush into the house and right before our eyes they start attacking Darby and Susay. The three of us jump open with our weapons and attack with venom.

I quickly kill one of them with a swing into the neck. I then hear a scream,"NOOOOOO!"

I look over and gasp in rage. Darby and Susay are both lying in pools of blood after being over powered. I raced to the elfs that killed with Valdis close behind me. I cut a female ones head off and Valdis slices one through the stomach.

We pushed them back until we make it outside and I grasp in shock. A bunch more Thalmor are running through the streets and killing people. We continue attacking as more and more come at us. By this point we are close by Wayer's blacksmith and I see Wayer and Rhonda fighting off Thalmor.

Pretty soon most of them are dead. Valdis was breathless and trying to catch her breath when I see a elf coming at her with a sword raised. I grasp in terror. If that hits her she is dead. Without thinking I run an push her out of the way just as he pulled it down.

I heard screams and grasps as I felt pain where the sword hit me in the stomach. The elf pulled the sword out and I screamed in pain. He lifts the sword up again but before he could finish me off Wayer runs up behind him and kill him with a hit to the neck.

Tori and Rhonda run over. "Oh my gods!" Tori cries.

"We need to her get healer right away!" Rhonda says.

"I'll hold you Vicky be still. I'll get you help." Wayer says and he gently lifts me me up. I grasp again from the pain. Wayer gently holds a cloth on the the space where I was cut. I can feel it as it is quickly covered in blood.

We soon reach the closet healer. "Please help!" Wayer yells and bangs on the door. The opens and when the person sees me says,"No she can die for all I care." She says and then slams the door shut.

"BITCH I'LL REGRET THIS!" Wayer screamed back through the closed door. We try two more healers and none of them would help us. By this point I'm surprised I'm not dead. I can hardly stay awake. But I'm scared that if I pass out I won't wake back up.

We reach the end of Cheydinhal and Wayer knocks on the last healers door. A elderly Nord man opens the door and grasps when he looks at me,"Bring her in and lay her down." He says.

We follow him quickly into the house that is is filled with empty beds. A elderly Imperial woman walks in through a back door and grasps. She rushes over and the two healers give each other grave looks when they look at where I was cut.

"My gods! It's a miracle that she isn't dead right now." The Imperial woman says. "Well try and save her. That's our job."

"I better go back to the Sanctuary and tell them where you are." Valdis says looking at me. Her eyes are still round with shock and horror as she leaves the house. I can't keep my eyes open anymore as the healers start working to save me the last thing I hear before passing out is Tori saying,"Don't die Vicky. I already lost my parents I can't lose my best friend as well."
