Morning seemed to come quickly and Vilkas felt like he got no sleep at all, he just couldn't get over what had happened. He never felt so disappointed in his life. Vilkas sighed rubbing the back of his neck, he stood there for a moment running a comb through his hair. 'I guess it's time to meet..' He thought to himself with a big frown on his face. He put his comb back down onto his desk and than walked out of his room.
He turned walking towards Kodlak's room, all of the circle members were gathered inside and Kodlak was sitting down in his chair looking at the broken amulet in his hand. "So Kodlak have you come up with a plan for our thief?" Aela asked. She was leaning up against the wall with her arms crossed. "Do we even know her name yet?" Skjor asked with his usual annoyed tone voice. "Yes, her name is June." Kodlak said grabbing one of the pouches she had and took out a folded letter.
Kodlak opened up the letter pointing at it. "Not only is she part of the Thieves Guild, she leads it." He said rubbing his forehead. The circle members eyes widened and they looked at each other shocked. "Why would the leader of the Thieves Guild come to Jorrvaskr?" Farkas asked in confusion. "Not sure, she just had this note from Maven Blackbriar to steal this amulet." Kodlak replied laying the amulet onto the table. "But why that amulet I mean it has sentimental value to it sure but it doesn't have much gold value to it." Aela said standing up straight and walking over to the table taking the letter.
Kodlak just sighed and slightly shook his head. "Well what ever the reason we now need to be careful, she's the leader of the Thieves Guild and they will sooner or later know she is missing." Kodlak furrowed his eyebrows down trying to think. "Do you think they will come for her, or maybe attack Jorrvaskr to get her back?" Aela asked in concern. "No their thieves, not killers." Farkas replied. "Thieves are nothing but selfish vermin, they only care for themselves I doubt they really care about her at all." Vilkas said looking down at the ground.
Kodlak rubbed his chin scratching his beard. "Vilkas is probably right, I doubt they would make the effort to get her back." He said still thinking to himself. "Well than in that case we should just execute her." Skjor said with a firm voice. Vilkas quickly looked up a bit shocked and worried but his feelings quickly faded. 'What do I care..' He thought to himself looking back down at the ground. "No we are not going to execute her." Kodlak said looking up at Skjor.
Skjor furrowed his eyebrows down and crossed his arms. "Well than what do you want to do wit her?" He asked impatiently. Kodlak stood up from his chair and walked past them all. "I have an idea." He said waving his hand for them to follow him, and they looked at each other a bit confused but followed him anyways.
June was laying on the ground with one arm behind her head and the other placed on her stomach, she sighed growing even more bored than she was before. She closed her eyes for a moment but quickly opened them back up as she heared footsteps approaching her cell, she sat up and saw it was the companions. "Hello June." Kodlak said crossing his arms.
June raised an eyebrow at him, she brought her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them holding them in place. "So have the mighty companions come to a conclusion? What will it be? Execution? Ooh wait I know its Torture isn't it? I hope so." She said with a big grin on her face. Kodlak kept a straight face but the others behind him sneered and glared at her remark.
Kodlak pulled out a key from his pocket and unlocked the cell door stepping inside. June watched him carefully but Vilkas caught her attention, she noticed him staring at her like he had been yesterday. 'Who is that guy and why does he keep looking at me like that?' She thought to herself raising an eyebrow at him, it annoyed her that he kept staring at her like that.
Kodlak stood in front of her crossing his arms. "You're going to pay us back for that amulet." He said firmly. The circle members jumped a bit and looked at him confused. "Kodlak that's-" Skjor began to say but Kodlak raised his hand stopping him. June raised an eyebrow at him a bit confused. "Well that shouldn't be too hard than.." She spoke hesitantly. "How much?" She said getting up from the ground dusting the dirt off of her behind.
Kodlak lowered her head letting out a quiet chuckle, June raised an eyebrow at him in confusion. "No no, I'm not talking about that kind of repayment." He lifted his head back up giving her a small smile. She slightly tilted her head furrowing her eyebrows down at him. "You're going to work for us until the payment is complete." He said. June's eyes widened and than sneered at him. "You've gotta be kidding, there is no way I'm going to work for the companions." She replied crossing her arms and looking away from him.
Vilkas glared at her from her response. "You don't have a choice!" Vilkas said loudly, he took a step towards her standing next to Kodlak. "That's where you're wrong big guy, there's always a choice." She said with a smirk. "You really dumb enough to get smart with us girl!" Skjor shouted in aggravation. Kodlak raised his hand up to quiet and calm them down.
They both glared at her but took a step back. "Let me explain something to you girl, you see that amulet had been with the companions since Ysgramor it was a relic among the companions." He spoke with a firm voice. "The amulet had more of a sentimental value to us than an actual price range so what I mean by you working for us until the payment is complete I mean you are going to work for us until I decide it's enough." He spoke with a louder voice.
June furrowed her eyebrows down in confusion. "No price range?" She whispered to herself. She looked down slightly. 'Than why would they send me to..' She started to think to herself but Kodlak took a step towards her cutting her off from it. "What kind of thief doesn't know the value of what their taking?" Vilkas said with a smirk. June quickly looked up glaring at him. "What kind of warriors wear eye make up?" She responded with a small smile.
Farkas and Vilkas both quickly looked at each other and than back at her with a glare. "It's not make up it's our markings!" Vilkas shouted at her. June laughed at his anger only causing him to get angrier. Kodlak let out a loud sigh slightly shaking his head at them. "You don't even deserve yours!" Vilkas shouted again. "Mine?" She raised an eyebrow at him. "The one on your cheek, it symbolizes your a warrior and a Nord, you don't deserve it because you have no honor of a Nord!" He replied glaring at her deeply.
A small grin appeared on June's face. "Sweet talker." She replied with a wink. "You-!" Vilkas began to shout again but Kodlak quickly cut him off. "That's enough both of you!" Kodlak shouted at them both. Vilkas and June quickly looked away from each other, Aela couldn't help but let out a small chuckle from the fight. "Getting along already?" She said smirking. Vilkas looked at her with a small glare.
Kodlak pulled out a small rope from his pack and handed it to Vilkas. "Here tie her hands up, we don't want her pulling any funny business." He said slightly moving his eyes towards June. "Right." Vilkas said walked over to June grabbing her arms and pulling them back behind her. "Careful you don't get too rough you might get me excited." She couldn't help but say with a smirk.
Vilkas sneered at her and just quickly wrapped the rope around her wrists and pulled it tight. "Come on." Kodlak said turning and walking out of the cell. Vilkas gave June a small push making her begin to walk with the rest of the companions following behind Kodlak.
June glared at Vilkas a bit for the push but just walked behind the rest of the companions, as they left the dungeon and began to walk down the stairs from Dragons Reach June looked around at the heavy crowded streets. 'It's been a long time since I've seen this place during the day and all lit up with people.' She thought to herself watching a couple children laugh and play in the street.
They all stopped infront of the stairs to Jorrvaskr. "Vilkas and June will come with me the rest of you can head back to Jorrvaskr and continue work." He said nodding to them. They all looked a bit confused but did what they were told and started to head up the stairs. "Let's go." Kodlak said continuing to walk through town with Vilkas and June close behind him.
Vilkas kept his hand on June's back just in case she tried to run off but while he walked he looked down at the ground. 'Why does he want me to come? I don't want anything to do with this or her.' He thought to himself with an angry frown on his face. He slightly looked up examining her hair from behind, its length almost went down to the middle of her back and it looked really light in the sunlight also soft.
He couldn't help but wonder what it felt like and started to imagine running his fingers through it but he quickly shook his head forcing the thoughts away. He examined her armor seeing it was a bit worn as if it had seen some actual battles. "I can feel your creepy eyes on me." She said out loud causing Vilkas to jump a bit. He sneered at her and than quickly looked away. "Just wondering what it takes for someone to become a low life like you." He responded harshly. "A good nights rest." She replied with a grin.
Vilkas glared at her again. 'What a smart ass.' He thought to himself biting his lower lip in aggravation. They made there way through Whiterun and than out the gate to the stables, Kodlak stopped in front of the stables and turned around to face them. "What are we doing here?" Vilkas asked him looking at the horses in the stable.
Kodlak couldn't help but smile a bit while he walked over to June and untied the rope around her wrist. "What are you doing?" Vilkas asked a bit confused watching him. June raised an eyebrow at him a bit confused herself. "This is your first job and to make sure you don't run off I'm having Vilkas here watch you." Kodlak said handing the rope back to Vilkas.
June rubbed her wrists and looked around even more confused. "What's the job exactly?" She asked looking over at him. Once again Kodlak couldn't help but smile, he crossed his arms and turned his head towards the stable. "The owner of this stable is out on business for a couple days and asked us to clean the stables out at least once while he was gone, I usually give petty jobs like this to the whelps of the Companions but since we now have you..." Kodlak said turning back to June.
She blinked and stood there for a moment making sure she heard him right. "You've got to be kidding me, the Companions do foolish jobs like this?!" She said un believing. "Well you do now." He said walking grabbing a shovel and handing it to her. "Ha!" Vilkas couldn't hold back his laughter. June glared at him and than threw the shovel down to the ground. "I don't think so." She said crossing her arms and looking away.
Kodlak only chuckled at her reaction expecting it. "Too prideful? That will get you no where girl." He said picking the shovel back up from the ground and shoving it back into her hands and than walking past them heading back to Whiterun. June looked at the shovel and than slightly looked at Vilkas. "What?" He said annoyed at her stare. "A shovel could be considered a weapon you know and it also helps get rid of the evidence." She said with a small grin on her face.
Vilkas just rolled his eyes at her. "I know you won't do anything." He said crossing his arms looking back to her. "Really and how's that?" She tilted her head to the side. "One: I know for a fact you can't take me on, Two: Your a thief not a killer." He replied looking down at the shovel in her hands. "You're right I'm not a killer but I definitely can take you on." She said furrowing her eyebrows down. "I doubt it." He said with a stern voice. "Only a fool underestimates someone." She spoke turning around walking towards the stables.
Vilkas rolled his eyes again and followed behind her. "Just hurry up and get done so I can carry on my day." He said sitting down in a chair that was always besides the stable. "And what would that be? Being a hired thug? And you called me a low life." She said with a small grin. Vilkas quickly snapped his head towards her with a deep glare. "I am not a thug I am a companion!" He shouted at her. "What's the difference." She said beginning to shovel out the mess in the stables.
Vilkas quickly got up from the chair and walked closer to her with anger written all over his face. "I wonder, if someone had enough gold and just wanted a good time in bed would you do it?" She asked ignoring his glares. Vilkas clenched his fists ready to give a good swing at her but he just stayed in place, he knew if he did anything like that Kodlak would not be pleased with him. If she was hurt than she wouldn't be able to do work for them.
Vilkas just let out a loud sigh and walked back to the chair sitting down. "Giving up so easy? That's not any fun." She said giving him a fake disappointed look. Vilkas just crossed his arm and looked away from her. "Just hurry it up will you." He said quietly keeping his eyes from her. June looked down at the horse poop in the stables and wrinkled her nose in discust but went ahead and continued to clean the stables out. 'I'll play along for a while till I figure something out or if I'm lucky until someone comes looking for me..' She thought to herself slightly looking at Vilkas.
