THE DREAM

I should clear this up before I get very confused reviews. This is a chapter is one of Bormir's dreams (as a teenager), I thought I should include it because he's knocked out cold. This will also shed emotion on Bormir.

I woke up it was what you would call average weather in Helgen, quite sunny with a few clouds. I walked down and out of mysmall house and see Aumsi, my friend and secret crush . I walk up to her.

"Hey, Aumsi." I say.

"Hey." She replies.

"Do you want to hunt later?" I ask.

"Sure." Aumsi replied.

I turned and smiled to myself , Yes!, I think to myself. I walk up to my house and enter. I walked up to my room and grabbed a dagger and bow with a quiver filled with sharply pointed arrows. I walked up to my wardrobe and picked out my hunting cloak. The reason I used this cloak rather than an ordinary one was that this was a browny green sort of colour which was excellent for blending with trees and grass. It was around two o'clock and I thought that it would be the best time to go hunting. I walk over to Aumsi's house and rap the door three times hard. She opens the door and walks out after quickly grabbing a bow, arrows and a short sword.

"Expecting trouble?" I ask, pointing at her blade.

"No, but better safe than sorry." She replies.

"Well, so long as I have a bow you'll be absolutely fine... and that's a promise." I say, smiling at her.

"A deadshot, are you?" She asks me.

"You could say. I can hit a chicken in the eye from fifty yards." I reply.

We walk out of the city making idle chatter on the Imperial legion's presence in Skyrim.

"I hate them. Especially the fact that the milk drinking cowards signed the White-Gold Concordat taking away the right to worship Talos."I say, anger in my voice.

" I know, but the Aldmeri wouldn't have yielded. We would have sending children and the elderly to fight for us." She says, making a valid point.

"Hmm, but I bet you if the Aldmeri Dominion where to directly invade Skyrim there would a great hero , a real public figure, who would gather an army and stand up against the Elves." I say, pride in my words.

"Well, until then we are just going to have to abide by the rules and follow the Concordat." Aumsi says.

"Besides, I suppose we all worship him in secret. Even the most cowardly Nords won't deny it." I say.
I see a fox and quickly pull an arrow and shoot it in the chest. It lets out a yelp before it dies. I walk up to it and pull my arrow from it and put it back to it's quiver. I sling the fox over my shoulder and walk on, scanning the woods on the look out for any bigger animals which might get me more coin.

"I'm going to climb a tree, look for squirrels or birds." Aumsi said.

"Ok. Try to follow me if you can and if not then meet me back at the city gates." I say to her, she nods in agreement and saunters up the nearest tree.

I through the trees staying low to the ground with my cloaks hood up sneaking along the forest floor like a bird gliding through the air. I hear a twig snap and prick my ears up. I turn slowly in a circle, scanning for a deer or any other animal that could have made the noise. I see a bush shuffle and I slowly creep over the grass , keeping as low as possible. As I near the bush I eventually lie flat on my stomach and move inch by inch , ready for what was behind it. I creep to a corner of the bush and gradually rise to a crouch. I ready my bow and an arrow and quickly turn the bush and let it loose. It hit a doe's eye. I walk up to it and again retract my arrow. I unsheathe my dagger and do as best a job I could've done at skinning it. I sling the venison, hide and it's antlers over my back. I continue searching the woods in hope of finding a stag as they have bigger antlers and bigger means more coin. My next search is rather unfruitful the I find is more than small squirrels and the occasional rabbit. I decide to make one last search of the forest before I was going to call it a day. It was the right decision because after 15 minutes I came across a bear.

"Oh, you beauty!" I say to myself, it charges at me.

When it connects with me I go back about 10 yards and I was winded. It came on top of me and snarled, showing it's large teeth and bad breath. I free an arm and punch it's snout. It stumbled back and in that time gap I unsheathe my dagger and run to it. I climb on it's back but get flung off. It was worth a try, I say to myself and pull out an arrow with it's bow. I quickly shoot and it connects in it's forehead. It slumps to the ground dead. I pick up my dagger and again skin it, taking it's pelt and claws. I decided to go home then. I found the path easy enough and every few minutes I check the trees for Aumsi, nut see nothing. I walk back to the city gates but I do not see Aumsi. I wait for a few minutes but she doesn't show up. If she is dead so help the man who killed her, I say to myself running back into the woods. I return to where I last saw her and look up. I follow the branches that look strong enough to support a humans weight. I find a snapped branch and look down to and clearly see where she landed. I hit the ground and search for footprints in the mud. I find some that match Aumsi's but I also see much bigger ones right next to them. I follow them, gathering speed the further I get along. I come to a point where I see that Aumsi must have got away from him. I follow them at much faster rate, almost a sprint really. They stop and I look up. I see Aumsi sitting upright in the tree.

"Aumsi." I whisper up, she looks down, starled.

"Bormir!" She says sounding relieved.

She jumps down and I catch her in arms.

"Are you ok?" I ask.

"Yes, I just.. that imperial cut me, that's all." She says, but I know she was lying a cut didn't bleed as bad.

"Cut's don't bleed like that." I say.

"He stabbed me. But I'm fine, really." She confesses but as she spoke she dropped to the ground.

"Aumsi!" I say.

"I'm sorry, I should have stayed with you." She said, beginning to cry.

"Aumsi, I'm taking you back!" I say picking her up and sprinting as fast as my legs would allow me.

I reach the city gates and sprint through to the doctor. I barge through the doors and put her onto a table.

"Help her!"I shout at the doctor.

"What happened?" He asks.

"She was stabbed now help her!" I shout at the doctor.

He cuts the clothes where the wound was and looks at it.

"I'm afraid it's too deep. She'll be dead within minutes." He says, sorrowfully.

"Aumsi." I say, crying.

"Tell my parents... I love them." She says to me, with difficulty.

"I've never told anyone before but I love you, Aumsi." I say to her.

" I love you too." She said and then she passed.

I kissed her forehead and started to cry as I left for my house. I walk up to my house and go to my room. I go to my bed and then straight to sleep
