(Inside Drakar's Cottage/Alice's POV)
I snuck through the window hoping nobody saw me or heard me, but when I did I jumped at the sound of a bed creaking under my targets weight. No need to be afraid Alice. Just kill him and you're in. The brotherhood will accept you as a casual rookie and you get a place to sleep. I was a wreck obviously and didn't want to get caught. especially in the house of a the dragonborn thief that even tamed the legend herself: Alduin. I soon found the bed and moved in to find the man. He must have had a rough day by the looks of it. Bruises and small cuts, but I would have a rough day if I had to tame the world eater.
He tossed and turned a little bit, but i had to do this. For me. For the brotherhood! When I plunged my dagger into his bed I expected a soft squishy impact, but instead got a rough hit. Did I hit a bone? That's when I realized the most embarrassing thing in Tamriel. I missed. I missed a non-moving target in his own bed! I sighed and though: 'I just wasn't thinking strait' I tried once more as I plunged my dagger into the sheets, but was met with the same impact. Was he not there? I looked under the sheets and a blush came on. He was there, and shirtless too. I carefully leveled my dagger, but panicked as he started to stir. I jumped back and into the shadows as he awoke.
(Drakar's POV)
I woke to notice that my sheets have been moved and a figure hiding in the shadows. Time that I put on a show. I got up and walked to my chest and took a sword and a shirt. I soon walked outside to check on Alduin.
(Outside Drakar's Cottage/3rd POV)
Alduin was sleeping soundly as Drakar stepped out of his home. "Good to know you're ok..." he whispered under his breath. He went down by the creek while the assassin followed him. Drakar soon turned and saw the assassin in broad moonlight. "So any reason you're this far way from Falkreath?" She gulped and stood up from her position. "I'm Alice Winters. You killed my father and now I've come to kill you!" Drakar instantly remembered the time he was with the Dark Brotherhood and he knew her from his very last mark before leaving to join the thieves guild. Edwin Winters was her father, but was a terrible person as he was a massive slave owner. The person who placed his contract: His own wife.
Alice lunged at Drakar, but the terribly inexperienced assassin was fighting against a retired on that turned thief. "You don't want to do this" She ignored him so he knocked some sense into her and some wind out by a swift punch to the gut. "You're out of your league kid... You don't want to know what happens when the last time someone tried to kill me." She panted at the feeling that he put in her: Fear. She felt the mistake she made as she fell on the ground. Helpless and at his mercy. Drakar loomed over her and rolled his eyes. "Now you're just being dramatic..." He reached down to grab her, but she flinched at his motion "Come on. I wont bite as long as you keep that butter knife in your belt" she nodded slowly and took his hand. "Let's go inside. I want a chat with you about what you almost did."
(Alduin's POV)
I woke up at the sound of foot steps and saw the Dova walking up "Hey Alduin... I may have ran into an issue." I looked at him wondering what's wrong until a woman came up from behind him. "What is your mate giving you trouble?" I did wonder if he was taken already and really if he could charm a dragon than he must look like a god to other women. "N-no... She WAS and assassin trying to kill me, but I came to talk to her" I just looked at the assassin with slight annoyance. "Why must come in at such a time? We had just started to settle after a bounty..." The foolish woman stuttered "I-I'm sorry Ms. Alduin I-I just" after a small silence she spoke the words that started a competition between me and her "I wanted to see the greatest man in this world for my self" I just looked at her like she was mad. Greatest man my talons
Drakar was nice and kind at times yes, but he was a damned thief, liar, and killer. If anything in her opinion he was not great. If anything the deadric princes of oblivion were waiting for him as they spoke. "And whats so great about him?" Drakar took attention to this as he turned his head to the conversation. "Well I heard is handsome, kind, and..." She trailed off on that one as Drakar's full attention was now on us "R-rough i-in bed?" A small hint hit me a little. Did she only want Drakar for his body or skills? Drakar was obviously blushing as he hid his face by looking the other way. "Hmm" The sound of my thoughts were audible by the most part, but I was thinking for a second, but denied it.
No way she was going to let her Drakar mate with such a pitiful woman. Weak, scared, and shy. He needed someone with backbone to make sure he didn't do anymore bad so the deadric princes might show mercy on him. Some one like...
Me.
