* ok, so I fell in love with the skyrim romance mod ( No pun intended) So i decided to make a story about it. Even if you haven't played it you will still be able to follow along.! :) I own nothing except for Kira, please go look at the mod if you can!*
I stood in the tavern and looked around at the people sitting, eating, talking, not paying attention to me, not that I truly cared. I rose my bow and slid it across the violin strings. My melody bounced off the walls and back to me. My mother had taught me the song when I was first introduced into music. It was old and popular but when it was slowed it truly was a beautiful song. The lyrics echoed in my head.
Our hero, our hero, claims a warrior's heart
I tell you, I tell you, the dragonborn comes
With a voice wielding power of the ancient nord art
Believe, believe, the dragonborn comes
I continued onto the next verse-
It's an end to evil of all skyrim's foes
Beware, beware, the dragonborn comes
For the darkness has passed and the ledged yet grows
You'll know, you'll know the dragonborn's come
The door bursted open and we all froze. Guards looked around and stormed through the tavern, backing us up to the wall in fear. Then their eyes settled on me.
" Grab her and go."
It wasn't until I felt their gauntlets around my wrist did I react. I begged them, pleaded and told them they had the wrong girl. But they wouldn't listen.
With a twist of my wrist I broke free of the guard's grip before launching my foot into his chest. I could feel the rage radiate from them all as the charged. I ducked , missing one, then slammed my violin into the head of another. My heart shattered along with it but I'd rather have that broken then have my head chopped off.
I sprinted out the door as fast as I my legs would take me. I didn't care how much my lungs burned or how much my legs screamed. I had to run.
I ran through the trees, towards the border in hope to cross. I could be safe or at least that's what I wanted think.
Screams roared and weapons were swung. All I knew was that I had ran into an ambush, my body was numb and my world went black.
The stiffness and aches in my body woke me up. A sudden bump made me fall into something warm involuntarily. I thought when my heart would burst from my chest when I saw the Jarl of Windhelm tied and held captive. He peered down at me and I quickly pushed myself off of him and up right. Even though his mouth was covered his eyes spoke his works.
These were our final breaths.
" You're finally awake."
I looked over and spotted a blond haired man. His skin was covered in dirty and abused with wounds, just like the rest of us.
" You walked right into that imperial ambush."
My jaw tightened at the memory. How stupid could I have been?
I had nothing to say as he and a horse thief made conversation. I fixed my eyes on the cracked wood of the carriage as we rode into town. My wrists moved back and forth in nervousness against the rope. How would I live?
After seeing the horse thief being shot for an attempt to run I grew hesitant as I stepped forward. The guard looked at me and met my eyes. My blonde hair was surely filthy and my skin covered with dried blood and dirt, I knew I wasn't in the best condition.
" You're name."
With a glare and piercing voice I responded, " Kira Bennet."
I didn't belong here.
" Captain what do we do? She's not on the list."
" Forget the list. Off with her head!"
The guard gave me a pitiful look, promising to return my remains. I turned and began to walk of the guillotine, getting a scowl as I cussed at the captain under my breath.
Each name they called the more the more I began to move. But when they called mine I seemed to cease to move. I stepped up to the guard and was shoved to my knees when screech filled my ears.
" Ignore it! Keep going."
I could feel the tears being fought back as the coldness of the wood pressed into my skin. My eyes searched the skies at the sound of another screech. Then the ground rumbled.
I had never felt such fear as I had in that moment. Its scales, the huge eyes and dangerous claws. I could barely even hear the voice call out for me to run over the pounding of my heart. But my body sensed the fear and began to run. I looked around in the smoke, hair in my face, and ran into a cobblestone tower.
When the door shut I felt a relief and sighed. But It wasn't over, sadly.
" Quickly! Up the stairs!"
I stumbled up the stairs, the top in sight. When hands wrapped around my waist I nearly turned and knocked the man off when part of the tower crumbled and fire missed me by the hair. The heat branded against me, my skin barely missing the burns. But as soon as it was gone I ran.
" Jump out and onto the beds down below from the Inn, quickly don't waist time!"
I looked at the man for a split second with my asking him when this would ever end.
