"Can someone cut me loose?" Aletta asked holding up her tied hands. But no one decided to listen to her. She heard a groan of pain and saw in the corner of the room a Stormcloak soldier currently bleeding to death. Aletta so badly wanted to heal her and shove a few healing potions down her throat. But there really wasn't much one could do with tied hands.

"We need to get out of here" Ralof quickly walked to her "come on" he grabbed her forearm not taking the time to be gentle about it and pushed her up the stairs. Just about halfway up the steps the dragon itself smashed his head through the wall and screamed fire into the tower. Aletta ducked and covered her head with her bound hands while Ralof held her steady.

As soon as the dragon left Aletta and Ralof both noticed that pieces of the wall had strategically fallen so it blocked the rest of the way up the stairs. Aletta ran up to the hole and looked at all the people scrambling everywhere. Ralof wasn't far behind

"See that inn right there?" Ralof pointed to an in not to far from the tower…well what was left of it anyway "jump and just run try and get to safety ill we'll catch up if we can!"

"You're joking right?! Cause that's not a funny joke!" Aletta yelled at Ralof as he ran back down the steps. Aletta looked at the inn with a skeptical look. Realizing she had no other choice she jumped. She crashed through the ceiling and landed on the floor pain shooting up her legs. She cursed and wobbled a bit before running and jumping off the loft area. The second she bounded out of the inn the entire thing caved in. "well damn…" she shortly mused to herself and turned her attention back to the task of getting the hell out of Helgen.

"Hamming you need to get over here NOW!" She heard Hadvar Beckoning a little boy towards him. And just as that little boy came running towards him the dragon landed right where he was standing. Aletta shivered at the thought of what would have happened if the boy had remained there. "Good boy your doing great…By the gods!… EVERYONE GET BACK!" Hadvar screamed he yelled as the dragon yelled some more screamed fire down the street.

"Aletta!" Hadvar yelled as he ran over to her "stay close to me!" not really having much say in the matter as Hadvar put a hand on her back and pushed her towards a certain path, she obeyed him.

She ran with him down a certain alleyway until he shoved her against the wall. Before she could yell at him there was suddenly a dragon wing less than an inch from her nose. She stared at it cross eyed for a second before Hadvar pushed her further into the alley away from the wing.

"Stay close to the wall!" he yelled as the dragon breathed fire on Helgen once again.

Aletta took this moment to marvel at the dragon. In the back of her mind she thoughthought the dragon was utterly stunning, she had only dreamed of ever seeing a dragon and here one was in the flesh. She still couldn't believe that this was real these things weren't even suppose to exist!

"Come on!" Hadvar pushed her forward and lead her through Helgen. Aletta noticed how few imperial soldiers were left feebly trying to fight off the dragon every thing they tried seemed of no use… hell the thing had already done so much damage it was even hard to get around.

"Hadvar! Get into the keep we're leaving!" The general whose name escaped Aletta at the moment. He looked at Aletta and she stiffened afraid he would try and behead her right then and there. To her relief he ran off in a random direction.

"Come on it's just you and me!" Aletta Followed Hadvar and wondered where Ralof had ran off to… she hoped he was okay.

Speak of the Daedradevil Ralof suddenly burst into the scene "Ralof!" Aletta called with relief tingeing her voice catching the Nords attention who looked relived to see Aletta. Hadvar's reaction was a bit different however.

"Ralof you damned traitor!" Hadvar barked "outta my way!"

"Were escaping Hadvar!" Ralof said almost proudly "you're not stopping us this time!"

"Fine! I hope that dragon takes you all to Sovngarde" Hadvar Barked one last time before him and Ralof both grabbed Aletta's forearms. They all gave each other a confused look before the dragon roared behind them.

"Come on! Both of you!" she yelled and ran to the nearest door with Ralof and Hadvar both following her.

Aletta slumped to the floor panting heavily trying to calm her nerves. Both Ralof had his hands on his knees panting "areAre you alright?" he asked Aletta who was to out of breath to form words simply nodded. Ralof glared at Hadvar "weWe would'nt be in this mess if you legion dogs didn't imprison us" Hadvar shot him a dirty look.

"We didn't summon the damned dragon" Hadvar retorted

"Oh no!" she yelled and shot up from where she was sitting. "We are not going to do this! we do not have time for you two to bitch right now!" both men started at her as she waved around her bound hands "there is a fucking dragon outside right now and if either of you wanna get out of here alive you have to get over yourselves right now okay?" her voice calmed down and she looked at the two men who seemed reluctant "please?" She asked as sweetly as possible

Ralof rolled his eyes "I guess I could do it for you" he winked and she smiled and looked at Hadvar who nodded in response. She sighed in relief

"Good now if one of you kind gentle men would be so kind as to cut me loose?" she asked and held up her hands.

"There has to be a dagger in here somewhere" Ralof commented quietly as he walked further into the keep.

"Here" Hadvar unsheathed a steel dagger and cut her bindings being very careful as to not cut her wrists "there you go" he held her wrist for a second and then quickly dropped it a blush creeping upon his cheeks.

"thanks" she commented and sighed in relief as she felt the blood rush back into her hands and she let a candlelight spell buzz gently in her hand, happy she had control of her magicka again.

"I am sorry…" he began and Aletta looked at him "if it were up to me I would'nt have-"

"well it wasn't really your choice so…" she shrugged "honestly I'm not to keen on being mad at you right now I'm more focused on getting the hell out of here so…"."

"Right, right uh…sorry" Hadvar said awkwardly as she followed Ralof into the keep to find him holding the hand of a fellow dead soldier.

"may we meet again in Sovngarde Ralof murmured as he mourned over the loss of his friend he turned around and looked at Aletta "you should take Gunjar's gear…he wont be needing it anymore…"

"It'll be way too big for her…" Hadvar commented "I know there's a smaller set of light armor over in that room in a chest" he walked over to said room and threw open a chest. "Here" he handed her a set of imperial armor. Ralof gave a nasty look at the armor.

"It'll have to do for now since they stole my robes" she growled setting the armor on one of the beds and looked at the two men who were looking at her expectantly. "If you think you're getting a free show your wrong. get out" she eyed them. Hadvar bless his soul he got so embarrassed and muttered something about a healing potion for his burns and left he room red face.

"Are you sure you don't need help with that armor?" he smirked playfully. Aletta smiled and took the pillow on the bed and threw it at him "alright, alright" he put up his hands in defeat and walked out of the room.

Aletta slid on the armor noticing it was a size to big for her but it would have to do for now. Just as she slid on her boots she heard a familiar voice, one she didn't particularly like.

"Get this gate open now!" It was the captain and she was close. Aletta's mind flashed to when she looked at her heartlessly and killed her horse. Anger bubbled within her she grabbed an iron dagger that was nearby "move you idiots!" Aletta creped near the room when she heard the sound of a gate being lifted. And The Bitchy captain came storming in along with another imperial solder

Not a second later the woman was advancing towards Aletta with her hand on the hilt of her sword. In a panic Aletta let loose flames from her hand onto the woman's face she screamed clutching her face and falling on the ground. Her comrade came next with his iron war hammer raised she impaled him with an ice spike to the chest. She looked at the woman writing and crying on the ground. Aletta ended her life with an ice spike lodged in her head

Ralof and Hadvar came in not a second later and looked at the sight before them both utterly shocked. Ralof just looked impressed while Hadvar looked like he was trying to say something but couldn't. Aletta knew he must be shocked because she just killed his captain.

"Look Hadvar" she pointed the iron dagger at him which she forgot to use "She's the reason I almost got my head chopped off what did you expect me to do?" she asked shrugging her shoulders.

The rest of the escape went by pretty smoothly. Hadvar pretty much lied to every face that came by saying that he and Aletta were transporting Ralof to Whiterun to be executed. Ralof went along with it, acting defeated and such. And successfully scooted past a sleeping bear. Then they were met with the daylight of Skyrim and fresh air.

And after completing the awkward task of walking to Riverwood in complete and utter silence as Ralof and Hadvar glared at each other out of the corners of their eyes, they eventually met with the gates of Riverwood.

Then Hadvar and Ralof set off to find their families while Aletta set off to find someone to buy all of the crap she picked up along the way. Ralof pointed her in the direction of the Riverwood trader. But as soon as she walked in she interrupted an awkward argument.

"No means no Camilla!" he yelled the girl he was yelling at went wide eyed when she noticed I was in the room. The man cleared his throat and regained his composure "welcome my friend!" he greeted warmly "if you need any thing just let me know if not let me know I might have it stored away"

"Thanks" she smiled and set all of her crap on the table with a loud clatter "what will you give me for all this?"

"Well…" he looked at all the items checking the armor for holes or damage and inspected the swords "illIll take the spell tome the armor and the daggers for say…480 septims?" he asked

"You got a deal" Aletta agreed not really caring the price, she just wanted some quick gold but mostly to rid of the junk she was sick of carrying it "But what about the swords?"

"You can take those to the blacksmith he's right across the street" The man said as he quickly counted out the gold "I wont be able to re-sell em' but Alvor can use them for scrap metal"

"Oh" she said "hey, did something happen?" she commented noticing a few things broken around the shop "looksLooks like you tried to trap a saber cat in here"

The trader chuckled dryly and scratched the back of his neck "wellWell we had a little bit of a break in last night…but it's nothing to worry about"

"A little break in?" she asked "there'sThere's nothing little about a break in" she commented

"That's what I said!" Camilla shouted

"Camilla go sweep off the front porch why don't ya'?" The man said annoyed and she stormed off just as annoyed

"So what did they take?" Aletta asked as He handed her the gold

"Just this golden claw…it was kind of a family heirloom…"

"Huh…" she mused to herself "wellWell good luck with that" she said as she left the Riverwood trader with her swords. She walked across the path to see a man hammering away at metal whom she assumed was the blacksmith.

"scuse' "Scuse' me?!" Aletta yelled over the mans hammering catching his attention "areAre you Alvor?" she asked clutching her swords awkwardly.

"Yes I am." he set his hammer down and wiped his hands on his apron "howHow can I help you?"

"Well I've got these swords here and I was wondering if you could take them off my hands?" she asked Alvor took the swords from her inspecting them one by one every time shaking his head in disapproval.

"well Well there's not much I could do with these except use em' for scrap metal." he said throwing an iron sword in a pile with the others

"Well how bout you just take them then?" Aletta shrugged not really feeling a big loss "I don't want them and I'm sick of carrying them."

"Alright then" Alvor agreed not really planning on buying them. He looked at her a moment before saying "youYou would'nt happen to be that Aletta girl my Nephewnephew was talking about would you?" he asked leaning on the table

Aletta eyed him "dependsDepends… is that a bad thing?"

"No it isn't" a voice came from behind. Aletta turned around to see Hadvar stepping into the forge "didDid you find the trader okay?" he asked

"Yup" she said popping the p "andAnd your uncle here just took these swords off my hands"

"We're grateful that you helped Hadvar escape Helgen" said Alvor "we'dWe'd like to offer you a place to stay and supplies"

"Really? Thank you that's very generous" she smiled.

"Come inside" Hadvar took her by the arm and lead her inside the house "Get something to eat and rest, you look like you haven't slept in days"

"Thank you so much Sigrid" Aletta thanked as Sigrid brushed her wet hair "I can't remember the last time I took a proper bath" Sigrid insisted that Aletta took a bath and got some fresh clothes before she went to bed and Aletta was more that happy to take a nice bath. Sigrid even threw in some lavender.

"It was no problem dear" She said gently as she tied off her damp hair with a piece ribbon. "anyAny friend of Hadvar's is a friend of mine" she smiled and brought her a plate of food "he'sHe's a good man you know" Aletta hummed in agreement as she bit into her bread "andAnd he's not married or courting anyone…" Sigrid hinted bringing her some water.

Aletta stopped chewing her bread and looked at Sigrid "wellWell how lucky for all those female legionnaires huh?" she dipped her bread into her soup and shoved it in her mouth.

Sigrid ignored this comment and continued with her hinting "heHe spoke fondly of you, you know" she smiled "and your pretty ill give yah that."

"Erm… well I'm absolutely exhausted" she set her tray of food down but took an apple off the table. "I'm gonna go sleep if that's okay?"

"Of course" she smiled "Hadvar set up a bedroll downstairs for you"

Upon descending the stairs to the cellar she noticed her bedroll set up all nice and neat in the corner. And also she had walked in on Hadvar putting on a new shirt and got a glimpse of his very muscular back and she had to admit it was a sight to see.

"Hey Hadvar" she greeted him and he turned around and smiled

"Hello Aletta" he said a bit startled "Howhow long were you standing there?"

"Not long" she lied. She walked closer to him and noticed how red his arm was "Sweet lady Mara Hadvar what did you do?" she asked as she took a closer look at his arm. "Did you fall in the damn forge?"

"No" Hadvar chuckled "That dragon got a pretty good burn on me" he explained as he craned his neck to see how far the burn went over his arm "I took a light healing potion but it didn't seem to help much, ill have to visit Hilde tomorrow and get a stronger one"

"You know I'm not the best but I do know a healing spell" Aletta casted a candlelight spell to shine more light than the torch was giving "Oh jeez you have blisters…" she grimaced at the wound

"I'm sure that wont be necessary it's just a-ouch!" he cried as Aletta poked the burn on purpose.

"Not necessary my ass…" she murmured "sitSit down and ill see what I can do" Hadvar obeyed and sat down on a nearby chair that Sigrid sat on to peel potatoes "Now hold still this is gonna hurt at first"

Hadvar cringed as the wispy light created a stinging sensation on his skin, but soon it reduced to a slight tingle. He watched as The Bretons eyebrows furrowed together in concentration. Hadvar admitted to himself she looked rather cute the way her childish face looked so concentrated. Then suddenly she stopped seeming a bit out of breath.

"Are you alright?" he asked concerned touching her arm lightly.

"Yeah… it's just healing people takes a lot of Magicka" she breathed letting her magicka come back to her "I used to have a necklace that helped with my magicka come back faster but it's gone now"

"Oh that reminds me" Hadvar went over to her bedroll and picked up a knapsack "These are some of your things…I grabbed them for you"

"reallyReally?!" she yelled snatching the bag out of his hand and peering inside her journal, compass, her amulet of Kynareth and her enchanted silver necklace.

"It's not everything but it was the only thing I could get" Aletta hugged Hadvar not caring how uncomfortable she made the man.

"Thank you Hadvar" she smiled as the man hugged her back "these things mean a lot to me"

"Your welcome" he hugged her a bit tighter "I really am sorry about what happened…and your horse"

"Forget it" Aletta pulled away and waved it off "whatWhat were you suppose to do? stand up for me and we both die? What's the good in that?" honestly Aletta had fully intended on beating the crap out of Hadvar once they were safe. But he and his family had been so kind she had decided to just let it go. "And Bandit…He was an old horse…with my healing skills i wouldent have been able to save his leg in time…I probably would have ended up putting him out of his misery anyway…"

"I don't understand you" Hadvar stated "youYou almost got killed because of the imperial legion and yet you treat me as a friend…why? The people I fight for almost took your life…"

"It was that horrid bitch who decided I was going to die not you…it's not like you could have done anything to help anyway" she said it with good intentions "nowNow let me have another go at your arm" she said putting on the tarnished silver necklace.

After few more tries at Hadvar's arm Aletta managed to heal quite a bit of it as it had been reduced to more of a light sunburn.

"Thank you" Hadvar said gratefully "It feels a lot better now"

"Not a problem." She said as she relished in the feeling of her magicka regaining strength. After a moment she bit her lip as a question rested on her tongue. "Umm… Hadvar?" she asked and Hadvar turned his attention to her "whenWhen I was unconscious what did…I mean did anyone…do anything to me? Cause I noticed I wasn't wearing my robes when I woke up."

Hadvar's face turned red "I made sure a female undressed you, after that they had me put you with the other Stormcloak captives" he reassured "weWe don't allow our men to do… that on duty although I wasn't going to let them have the chance to try to take advantage of an innocent woman while she was unconscious" He lied deciding it was best to not tell her that it was him who undressed her.

"Wow…" Aletta rubbed the back of her neck "Thanks…how the hell did you end up so nice compared all those other ass holes?"

"We're not all like that…" Hadvar explained seeming a bit drained "honestlyHonestly when it comes to war it all depends on you captain what kind of soldier you are…I had just gotten transferred to that troop and let me tell you some of the things she had her men do were…just evil"

"Wow…" Aletta silently said to herself. She took a look at Hadvar's face looked in deep thought. She decided to stop her questions there. "I'm gonna go to sleep now"

"Do you need anything? You know you can take the extra bed upstairs and I can sleep downstairs"

"Absolutely not!" Aletta exclaimed "I'm not going to sleep in your bed that's just rude"
