Alrek came out of the woods with some raw meat that he cut out of a Elk.

"Hey Serana think we can cook this?" He asked, but no one responded. In fact, the whole camp was ransacked. Alrek furrowed his brow and dropped the meat and walked around the camp, everything was gone, even the Elder scroll.

Alrek looked around and smelled blood, he followed the scent and found some on the grass, it was still a bit wet. He wiped some on his finger and smelled it. It was Serana's. He decided to follow the scent, maybe that will lead it to her.

Whoever stole her, was going to pay.

Serana woke up with her head hurting, she also felt cold. She looked down at her body to reveal she only had her undergarments on, along with a strange necklace she hadn't seen before. She was in a cage and there was a man in front her.

"Ah finally awake are we?" Serana looked up at the sound of the voice, it was the man from the bushes, she clenched her fist and threw her opened palm forward, expecting an ice spike to shoot out, but nothing happened.

Serana looked at her hand confused. The man laughed. "Nice try, We had our mage cook up that necklace around your neck. It stops you from casting any magic"

"Hey what do you think this thing is?" Another man yelled, walking into view. holding a large golden scroll, it was the Elder Scroll.

"I don't know, But I bet it'll catch a high price on the market!" The man said, before turning to her "Now you however, are very priceless." He reached out his and caressed her cheek, she bit his hand.

"Ow! Bitch!" He slapped her with so much force she fell. The man walked towards the cage door and left the cell, locking the door behind her.

"Keep an eye out, she's not alone and if she takes off that necklace, kill her" He said.

Serana never felt so exposed and weak in her life, she hated it.

For what felt like hours she was awoken by the squeaking of her cell door, a bandit stumbled in.

"Now YOU is what I need right now" He approached her, he was clearly drunk. She stood up and held her hands up, she pushed him back once he got close to her.

"Ah come on, don't play hard to get" He came at her again and she punched, he stumbled backwards. "You bitch" He took out a dagger and charged her, he pushed her against a wall, he groped her chest, licked her neck, abused her and molested her, she never felt so pathetic in her life. He started taking off her underwear when a loud crash followed by yelling was heard. Another man come up behind him.

"Hey! Quit fuckin around! We got an intruder!"

The man groaned and turned around, stumbling out of her cell and locking the door. She touched her neck and felt disgusted.

She heard a yell. "Where is she?!" She'd know that voice from anywhere, it was Alrek.

She ran to the cage bars and tried to take a look, a man flew past her cell and hit the wall, she heard a crunch. A tall man followed after, going towards the body that flew past her.

"Where is she?!" He didn't give the man time to answer as he heard his sword go through his throat followed by a gurgle. He was just killing them wasn't he?

"Alrek! I'm over here!" She cried out, Alrek came into view, covered in blood

"Are you okay? What did they do to you?" He asked.

"I'm fine, I think one of the bandits has the ke-" She didn't finish her sentence as Alrek tore the door off its hinges and tossed it aside. A fireball barreled towards him, but Alrek threw up a ward. He turned towards Serana. "I'll be right back."

He walked out of view and came back minutes later with more blood on him. His personality was different. He looked like he would snap at any moment, if he hadn't already.

She walked out, covering herself. even thought Alrek didn't seem to mind. Probably because he was in his killer mood.

Alrek walked over to a chest and opened it up to reveal everything they had. He handed her, her clothes. She put them on and grabbed her knife, she took off the necklace and threw it to the ground, stepping on it.

She was reunited with Alrek, yet she wanted to throw up. That man had touched her in a way she hadn't been touch since...The ritual. They were sitting in a small cave while it rained. The rain came out of nowhere, she glanced at Alrek and he was staring out at the rain.

She couldn't take it, the places where that bandit touched her burned, she tackled Alrek.

"Serana, w-what are you doing?"

"Touch me!" She didn't know what she was doing it.

Alrek just stared at her in disbelief, she grabbed his hand and put it against her chest. The burning didn't go away, he needed to touch her directly. She started taking off her top.

"Serana what are you doing? Stop!" Alrek pleaded, Serana didn't listen She just needed him to touch her, Alrek grabbed both of her shoulders to stop her.

"Serana stop! The hell is wrong with you!?" She tried to wrestle free from his grip.

"I just...Need you to touch me! Please!"

"Why? What happened in there?" Alrek asked, she stared him. "They touched me...I just want you to...Cleanse me..."

Alrek sighed. "I can't...I'm sorry" He said

"Please! It burns" She resumed taking off her top, she was now in her bra and she grabbed Alrek's hand, but he held firm. She cursed his strength.

"Stop!" He growled, Serana froze and let go of his hand, she looked down.

It was complete silence, save for the rain outside.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there to save you" Alrek said, Serana shook her head. "It was my fault, I should have been more cautious."

They remained silent for awhile, the burning didn't stop. She touched her chest, but that didn't do anything. She put her top back on.

"Your skin looks beautiful..."

She stopped and looked at him. She saw Alrek slowly blushed as he realized what he said. "No wait...Ignore that"

Serana smiled and took off her top again she stood in front of him.

"How is my skin beautiful?" She smiled and stared at him, she could see he was in discomfort, but she didn't care, this would have to do in place of the touching.

"It...Glows..." He said, she blushed and looked at her skin, it was glowing a bit in the moonlight.

"Aren't you embarrased?" Alrek asked "Looking like that in front of me" Serana blushed and started putting her top back on.

"Its fine if its you..." She whispered to herself. She sat down next to him, in time she fell asleep on his shoulders. Alrek didn't budge.

What a long day

I guess it was alright
