It seemed like it took forever for Morning to arrive, June didn't get any sleep. She had too much on her mind, she couldn't stop thinking about what almost happened last night with Vilkas and she also couldn't stop thinking about Brynjolf and the woman he was with. She tried hard to push the image from her mind but it was hard, she felt her stomach ache and her heart hurt. But once Vilkas had come into her room last night she had almost forgotten about it.
June was laying on her bed just staring at the ceiling, she furrowed her eyebrows down as she felt confused about the feelings she was experiencing. She couldn't decide if she was just trying to force herself to feel this way about Vilkas to stop her heart ache or if it were actually real. She knew she really did want him to kiss her last night, she wanted him to hold her in his arms. June gripped the blankets tightly as she remembered the way she felt, the way her body grew warm once he was close to her.
They didn't kiss but their lips did touch and that was enough to send sparks through her, just thinking about it made her have butterflies in her stomach. 'I hate this feeling..' She thought to herself as she shut her eyes tightly. So many new things were happening to her, she admitted that she liked Vilkas but she didn't want to take the chance on him. She didn't want to take the chance to get hurt again, she was always careful of who she let in her life. June never had very good luck, her roads were always bumpy so she was always put a shield in front of her heart so that non may touch it.
But she did a fool thing and allowed Brynjolf past that shield and as soon as she did he broke her heart, not again, she would not allow that to happen again. She quickly opened her eyes hearing a knock on her door. "Hey June you up yet?" She heard Farkas call from her door. "Yeah." She called back quickly getting up out of bed. "I'll be down in a minute!" She said as she quickly got undressed and put her armor back on.
It was early in the morning, the sun had barely peaked in the sky so she knew that non of the guild members would be here so early. Hardly anyone would be up in this hour in this city. June gathered her things putting them all in her bag, she put her bag of arrows and bow onto her back and her bag onto her shoulder. She walked out of her room and down the stairs seeing Vilkas and Farkas waiting for her by the stairs. "Morning." Vilkas said with a small smile. "Why so early?" She pretended to complain. "Earlier we leave, earlier we get home." Farkas said handing June a sweet roll.
June took a bite of the sweet roll as they walked out of the Inn, she quickly looked around and was relieved to see that the streets were pretty much empty. There wasn't a sign of any guild members. "Hopefully we can take a carriage the hole way this time." June said finishing off her sweet roll. The brothers nodded agreeing with her as they walked out of the gate. "Oh good!" June said pointing the carriage towards the stables.
They all jogged over to it, the carriage driver looked over to them and smiled. "Need a lift?" He said examining them all. "Yes, we need a ride to Whiterun." Farkas said holding out a coin purse. "Alright, we'll be there in about a day in a half." The driver said taking the coin purse. "A day in a half?" June said furrowing her eyebrows down at him. "Whiterun is quite a trip, the horse can't go on that long, at some point we're gonna have to make camp." He answered looking at June. "Right.." June mumbled with a frown.
They all jumped in the back putting their stuff down and taking a seat. "Not sure but it sounds like you're anxious to return." Farkas said with a smile. June quickly looked away. "Just wanna finish these stupid jobs for you guys already." She said crossing her arms. 'Liar..' Vilkas thought to himself as he remembered last night. He remembered the sound of her racing heart beat, he could smell her want. Vilkas kept staring at her as he examined her face, he saw June slightly look at him and than quickly looked away again. A small smile appeared on his face when he saw her cheeks glow a faint pink. 'Still acting shy I see...' He thought to himself as he laid back in his seat. As the carriage began to pull out Vilkas laid his head back and closed his eyes. 'I guess I could get a bit more sleep on this ride..' He thought to himself as he slowly slipped into sleep.
The carriage hit a bump on the road causing them to fly up a little, Vilkas jumped awake startled from the bump. He blinked and squinted his eyes as they adjusted to the bright day light. Vilkas let out a loud yawn and stretched. "How long have we been on the road now?" He asked not knowing how long he had been asleep. "A few hours I think." Farkas answered as he was reading a book.
Vilkas looked over at his brother and tilted his head to the side trying to read the book cover. "Where did you get that?" He asked his brother. "I bought it at the Inn, they had a shelf full of them so I got a couple." Farkas answered keeping his eyes on the book. "Didn't know you liked to read." Vilkas said with a small smile. "You don't know everything about me brother." Farkas said turning a page.
Vilkas quickly looked over at June realizing how quiet she has been since he woke up, usually by now she would of made some kind of remark. He saw that she was asleep as well, she was laying down on the bench and had her back turned towards them. He wanted to reach out and rub her back or run his fingers through her hair but he held himself back, he knew if he touched her right now he'd probably find her foot in his face.
Vilkas couldn't help but chuckle at the image in his mind. "Something funny?" Farkas asked slightly looking from his book to Vilkas. "Just thinking." Vilkas said looking away. Farkas looked back to his book continuing his reading. "So what are you reading anyways?" Vilkas asked looking back at Farkas. "It's about the Daedric." Farkas mumbled as if he didn't want anyone to hear.
Vilkas's eyes quickly widened. "What!? By the Gods Farkas, why on earth are you reading about something like that!?" Vilkas shouted. "Keep your voice down!" Farkas yelled in a whisper. "Why are you reading about that?" Vilkas asked again but quietly. Farkas quickly closed the book and looked away, Vilkas leaned forward trying to get a look at his face. It almost looked like there was sadness in his eyes, Vilkas let out a sigh once he realized what it was about. "You're trying to find a way through that aren't you?" Vilkas asked quietly. "I just thought I'd give it try, it's not like anything else has worked." Farkas said putting the book down.
Vilkas leaned back in his seat and looked up at the blue sky. "Don't give up hope brother, I'm sure there's some way." Vilkas said trying to cheer up his brother but even he didn't believe his own words. "So, what shouldn't you give up on?" June suddenly spoke making them both jump. They both looked at her seeing she was turned over towards them and she was resting the side of her head on her hand. "You shouldn't eaves drop." Vilkas said furrowing his eyebrows down at her.
June raised an eyebrow at him as she sat up in her seat, she raised her arms in the air and stretched. "How is it eaves dropping if I'm right here?" She asked looking back at them with a smile. "So is it all a big secret or something?" She asked leaning forward towards them. "Non of your business." Vilkas said crossing his arms. "Oh come on, you made me tell you about my stuff now spill yours!" She said with a small frown.
Vilkas looked down closing his eyes with a smile. "I'll answer anything you want to know just not that." He said smoothly. He slowly looked back up at her with luring eyes. "I think that's fair." He said. June quickly looked away from him feeling her face grow a little warm. "Okay..." She said trying to think of something to ask. "Alright I got one for both of you." She said looking at them with a grin.
They both exchanged glances and than looked at her. "This should be good.." Farkas mumbled. "Have you two ever slept with the same girl at once before?" She asked with a big grin. They both jumped and quickly looked at each other and than at her. "What the hell kind of question is that?!" Vilkas yelled at her. "Its a good question!" June shrugged laughing. Farkas rubbed his forehead as his cheeks glowed a bright pink. "No!" Vilkas yelled a little annoyed by her stupid question. June just laughed at their reactions.
The carriage came to a sudden stop catching their attention. "What's going on?" Vilkas asked the driver getting up from his seat to take a look. "There's a road block." The driver said pointing down the road. They all looked down the road seeing that it was blocked by a bunch of fallen rocks. "That's weird, where did those come from?" June wondered as she looked around. "The mountains aren't that close to the road." June said. "But there are hills." The driver responded. "Right, even though the mountains aren't that close the rock slides can still reach the roads because of the hills." Farkas said rubbing the back of his head as he looked at the giant rocks blocking them.
June got up and stood next to Vilkas as she examined the situation. "So what do we do now?" She asked with a sigh. 'We're never going to get back..' She thought to herself with a frown. "We find another way." The driver answered. "Another way? Like where?" June asked doubting him a little. "There is a mountain path not far from this road, the mountain path leads to Ivarstead and from there we can get back to the normal road to Whiterun." The driver said as he began to turn the carriage around. "Hope you're not in a hurry to get there, this will make the trip a little longer." The driver said.
June sighed a little annoyed and sat back down, Vilkas sat back down in his seat and sighed as well. "So is it still going to be a day in a half?" Vilkas asked slightly looking at the driver. "Maybe a little more now." The driver replied. "Good thing I got these than." Farkas said pulling out the other book he bought. "This one is just for pleasure." He said with a smile. "So it's a dirty book than?" June asked with a snicker. "Not that kind of pleasure!" Farkas replied loudly. He quickly opened up his book looking away from her feeling his cheeks grow warm.
