Four years have passed and June was now thirteen, she was now living the Khajiit's. They had their own main camp that was filled with other Khajiit's and Khajiit children, the Khajiit woman who took her in name was Kimjaah and she had her own son who's name was Ginji. Over the years she had become close to Ginji and Kimjaah, she loved them like they were her own family.
They helped her over her grief of her mother, the first few months she stayed with them she didn't talk to anyone, she hardly ate, she hardly drank anything, and it was like nothing had taste or feeling to her anymore. But after a long time she finally warmed up to them and eventually loved them. Her and Ginji played together and hunted together all the time, she felt odd there at first because she was the only human among the Khajiit's but they accepted her into their families.
The blacksmith Khajiit there made her a new bow and plenty of arrows, it was a pretty silver bow that looked like it glowed in the moonlight. June was behind a tree with an arrow pulled back as she was about to shoot an elk with it but arms suddenly wrapped around her neck causing her fall down onto the ground scaring the elk away. "Giniji!" She yelled aggravated already knowing it was him.
He laughed loudly as he rolled off of her and to the ground laying next to her. "You looked concentrated so I had to cut in." He said looking at her with his big gold eyes and a wide smile. She sneered at him and quickly looked away as a smile formed on her face. "You know it was funny." He said poking her arm. "You're annoying!" She claimed quickly getting up from the ground dusting dirt off of her dress.
Ginji tilted his head examining her dress. "Why do you even where those when you hunt all the time?" He asked sitting up. "Because their comfortable and I'm a lady." She said crossing her arms looking away from him. A smile formed back onto his face. "Oh really I haven't noticed!" He said jumping up from the ground. She sneered at him, his jokes were annoyed but part of her loved them, he wouldn't be him if he didn't joke like that.
June picked up her bow placing it onto her back. "What do you want anyways Ginji?" She asked him. "Mother wanted me to get you, not sure why." He said with a shrug. June furrowed her eyebrows down at him but he just shrugged again. "Alright." She said beginning to walk back to camp with Ginji following close behind her. Ginji had white fur with black stripes just like his mother, his tail and feet were completely black though, his father had jet black fur and gold eyes.
They made it back to the camp with the other Khajiit's smiling and greeting them. They it to the small house that they lived in and Kimjaah came out hearing them approach. "Their you are June." She said with a smile. "You wanted to see me?" She asked raising her eyebrows. "Yes, I need you to go into the city for me and get some supplies." Kimjaah said handing June a coin purse. "They still won't let you into Riften?" June asked furrowing her eyebrows down concerned. "You know how the people of Skyrim feel about us Khajiit's." She answered with a smile.
June never understood how the Khajiit's were so calm and nice when everyone around were cruel and mean to them, she knew they had a bad reputation for skooma and thieving but the Khajiit's she lived with didn't do any of that, it wasn't fair that they treated all Khajiit's the same. "Alright." June said taking the coin purse. She didn't want to go alone but she knew none of them could come with her.
She walked down the path and onto the road, it only took five minutes to reach Riften from their camp. "State your business." The guard said seeing her approaching Riften. June sneered at him, he asked her that every time she came towards the city. "I just need to get some supplies." She answered crossing her arms. "Alright, but no thieving! We know that you stay with those vermin up the hill." He said talking about the Khajiit.
June glared at him and bumped into him hard as she approached the gate. "Watch it!" He yelled at her. "Sorry." She said with a grin. As she entered the city she laughed as she held an extra coin purse in her hand, it was the guards coin purse. 'Serves him right for being stupid...' She thought to herself. 'Looks like we're getting extra food tonight!' She thought to herself in excitement.
She walked over to the food stand ordering the usual that they got and some extra, June suddenly shivered as if she was being watched. She slightly turned her head seeing a young man that looked two years older than her was looking at her, he was leaning his back up against the wall and was admiring her. He had medium length brownish red hair and green eyes, he was wearing strange looking armor, it was made of leather and obviously light armor. 'Creep...' She thought to herself as she turned back around taking a giant basket full of fruits and veggies.
She handed the coins to the stand owner and thanked her walking away. "Need help with that lass?" The boy suddenly stepped in front of her, he had a Scottish accent. "Nope." She quickly answered looking away from him and walking around him. 'What a weirdo..' She thought to herself. "Are you sure?" He asked quickly following her. "I'm sure." She said quickly coming to a stop and looking at him. "Now go away." She said looking away again and walking away. He crossed his arms and tilted his head watching her leave with a grin on his face.
June walked out of Riften and made her way back to the camp, the sun was beginning to set and the sky was growing dark. She reached the camp and saw that everyone had already retired into their houses. She walked to their house and entered being greeted with smiles. Kimjaah walked over seeing that the basket was fuller than usual. "Where did all this extra food come from?" She asked with a stern voice already knowing. "I...Found some more coin.." June mumbled looking away.
Kimjaah sighed rubbing her forehead. "You pick pocketed again didn't you?" She asked quietly. "They had it coming! They called you guys vermin!" June shouted defending herself. "June I don't care what they said, it doesn't matter what they think but if you do these things you're only proving them right." Kimjaah lectured. June kept her eyes away from her. "I'm sorry..." She whispered even though she didn't feel sorry, she hated the guards.
Kimjaah grabbed a basket from the table and took out the right amount of food from the basket that June had. "Now I want you to take the rest of that food to the guards you stole from understand?" She said. "Fine.." June mumbled turning around walking back out the door. "I'll come with you!" Ginji said with excitement in his voice as he quickly ran off to catch up to June. As they began to leave the camp they heard some weird rustling in the distance, they both quickly looked but saw nothing. 'Weird..' June thought too herself but just shrugged it off and they continued down the road.
They walked down the road telling stories, Ginji was mainly telling jokes that weren't really funny but June couldn't help but giggle at them. "You're back again?" They heard the guard say as they approached. "And you brought a rat." He said with the other guard laughing. Ginji's ears went back against his head as he glared at them, June bit her tongue and just handed him the basket full of food. "Here." She said and than quickly turned around. "Huh.." The guard looked down at the food confused and than looked up watching them walk away.
Ginji crossed his arms still angry at what that guard said. "You're right he did have it coming.." He mumbled in anger. "Yea but we gotta listen to Kimjaah..." June sighed looking down at the ground. Ginji's ears quickly perked up as he looked at June, he than quickly looked around trying to think of ways to change the mood. "Hey how about we explore a little?" He asked with a big smile. June looked up at him with her eyebrows furrowed down. "What do you mean explore? We have hunted all over this area." She said confused. "Not everywhere, there is always a new path!" Ginji said excited as he quickly grabbed June's hand and ran off the road into the trees.
The woods was filled with loud laughter as they ran through the trees, June kept falling and tripping over rocks and tree roots. "Come on klutz!" Ginji yelled helping June up for the fifth time. "Hey! It's dark and I don't have night vision like you do!" June yelled with a big smile on her face. June suddenly stopped. "What-" Ginji began to asked but was quickly shushed by June. She listened closely hearing running water in the distance. "This way!" She said quickly running off. "Wait for me!" Ginji yelled running off after her.
June came to a quick stop making Ginji run into her back causing them both to fall onto the ground. "Sorry!" Ginji quickly apologized sitting up. He looked up seeing that they were in front of a river. "Is this what you wanted?" He asked confused. "Yea! Let's swim!" June said already up and taking her dress off. Ginji blushed and quickly looked away. "S-swim?!" He stuttered. "I hate swimming!" He said hearing a loud splash. He looked over seeing June was now in the water. "Don't be such a cat!" She yelled splashing water at him.
The water hit Ginji getting him soaking wet. "You know I hate water! And you know I hate being called that!" He said glaring at her a little annoyed. "Well if you don't wanna be a cat than get wet!" She said splashing him again. Ginji just stood there glaring at her but the glare quickly turned into a smile. "Fine!" He yelled quickly taking of his shirt and jumping into the water with her.
June laughed as he splashed water all over her. "Ew it feels weird!" Ginji complained shivering a little. It just caused June to laugh even harder, Ginji smiled and began to splash her. "Don't laugh at me!" He laughed as she splashed him back.
After a couple of hours playing in the river they finally decided to head back to the camp, they were walking down the road telling nothing but jokes. The moon was now high in the sky and they could see the stars clearly, they both looked up with a smile on their faces. But those smiles soon disappeared once they realized how quiet it was when they approached the camp. "It's a little quiet..." Ginji said looking around worried. "Too quiet..." June mumbled keeping her eyes forward.
They both came to a sudden stop, their mouths dropped open and their eyes widened in horror. Before them laid everyone they knew dead, the ground covered in blood. June's eyes shifted around quickly as she saw the windows to the houses were broken and some of them had body's hanging out of them. "Mother!" She heard Ginji suddenly yell as he quickly ran off towards their house.
June just stood there, she couldn't move, she couldn't look away at the horrible site before her. 'This...' A single word came to her mind as her memories began to flood back into her. 'It's just like...' She remembered her mother's lifeless body on the ground and now in front of her were more lifeless bodies on the ground. People she loved and considered family. 'Again...Not again...' She fell to her knees as she couldn't take her eyes away. "No!" She heard Ginji cry out from their home.
Tears begin to weld up in her eyes, she wanted to close her eyes, she wanted to run away from this but she couldn't. 'I'm scared...I'm so scared...' Familiar thoughts came to her mind. June slowly looked down as she felt a little wet, she looked at her hands seeing there was blood on them. She had fallen down into a puddle of blood, she began to shake as she stared at the blood. 'Why...' Her hands began to shake. Ginji ran out of the house and looked over seeing June. "June!" He yelled running towards her. "Their dead! They're all dead!" He cried tripping over one of the bodies and fell onto the ground.
He just laid there for a moment sobbing, tears making the fur on his face become wet. "Who would do such a thing..." He whispered in sorrow. June slowly looked up seeing Ginji had fallen, she wanted to run over to him, to hug him and comfort him but she couldn't move. Heavy tears began to run down her face, the bottom of her nose becoming wet. June hugged her self tightly as she lowered her head, she looked at the ground seeing drops of her tears falling from her face into the dirt. "If the gods do exist than why do they torment us so..." She whispered to herself with a loud sob.
Ginji slowly got up and stumbled over to June, his legs were weak and shaky. "J-June.." He whispered placing his hands onto her shoulders. She slowly looked up at him, seeing his face only made her tears worse. "My m-mother she's..." He began to say but couldn't finish his sentence. June saw his lip begin to tremble, she could see his fur dripping from his tears. She opened her mouth to speak but she didn't know what she could say, she didn't want to say anything.
She looked around again at all of the bodies and than quickly looked away tightly closing her eyes. "I...can't.." She manage to speak in a shaky voice. "I...I don't know what to do..." Ginji said keeping his eyes on June. "Please...Tell me what to do!" He said in a panicked voice giving her a small shake. June pushed Ginji off of her causing her to fall back on the ground a little, Ginji looked at her surprised.
He slowly looked down at the ground feeling like he was going to be sick. "Why would anyone do this..." He whispered again clenching his fists tightly. A young man stood in the distance, the young man with brownish red hair and green eyes, he watched in horror as they both sobbed and cried loudly. 'This wasn't suppose to happen...' The young man thought to himself not being able to take his eyes away from them.
Five days later, Ginji and June were saying their goodbye's. After what had happened they managed to find another caravan who came to help burry the bodies and take Ginji back to Elsweyr to the family he has there, But June couldn't come. The Khajiits in the caravan wouldn't allow June to come, they didn't even let her be there when they buried the bodies. They blamed what had happened on June, they think that it was because June lived among the Khajiit's the humans didn't like it or got the wrong idea and killed them.
They both just stood there in silence, looking down at the ground. "I..." Ginji began to speak but stopped as he felt a lump rising in his throat. June slightly looked up at him, trying to keep the tears back. "I wish you could come with me.." He whispered with his ears laying down. June quickly put on a big smile, even though she didn't feel like smiling. She hugged him tightly, she could hardly hold herself back from crying once she heard him begin to cry.
June looked up seeing the caravan getting impatient and glaring at her. June let out a quiet sigh and slowly pulled back. "I'll be okay here, I promise." She said keeping her smile up. Ginji slowly nodded wiping his tears away. "Maybe someday we will see each other again." She said in the best cheerful voice she could do. "I'll write I promise!" He said quickly. June smiled again and gave him another hug. "You should probably go now, their giving me an evil look." She said trying to joke.
Ginji nodded and turned around walking away, he turned his head back to June giving her one last look. She smiled waving him goodbye as she watched him getting into the carriage. She stood there watching it take off down the road, as she watched it seemed like the world had slowed down. The moment felt like the moment she said goodbye to her father, tears slowly fell down her face as she watched the carriage get further and further away.
After everything had happened about three years later June found herself working as a serving girl at the Inn in Riften, The Bee and Barb. She hated the Argonian woman who ran the place but she just kept her mouth shut and did her job so she could eat. The pay was low so she had to have a second job at a farm not to far from Riften, she liked that job better than the Inn, they gave her a bed.
She hated the patrons that came into the Inn, they always tried to grab her bottom and said disturbing things to her. But she always got them back, sometimes when they leave they miss an extra coin purse or two. During the little free time she had she tried finding out who was responsible for what happened to her Khajiit family. June never had any luck but she didn't give up, sometimes she gets letters from Ginji but they seem to be slowing down.
She just finished cleaning some mugs when the Inn keeper came to her. "You can head out now if you want." She said examining the mugs. June nodded taking off her apron and walking out of the Inn, she took a deep breath of the cool night air. She stopped looking up a the sky seeing it was a clear night. She frowned not looking forward to the long walk back to the farm. 'Maybe I'll stay in the Inn today...' She thought to herself but than quickly changed her mind once she saw who was coming towards the Inn.
It was that one guy with the green eyes, she never learned his name, she never cared too. She just knew he was annoying and always tried to get her to bed with him. "Leaving already lass?" He asked quickly running to her. "Now that I see you, yes." She said with a smile. "Straight for my heart, like always." He said giving her a grin and than walking into the Inn. She watched him and than began to walk down the street towards the gates.
As she walked out of Riften and down the road she stopped in front of the path that led to what was once the camp. She slightly turned her head looking down it, sometimes she would walk to it and just sit looking at the empty buildings. She hadn't in a while, she sighed and just kept walking deciding not to.
Years after that she had worked as a made in an estate outside of Solitude, she had started a small fling with one of the workers and a jealous daughter framed June for stealing to get rid of her. That was when she was arrested and set for Helgen.)
Mumbled voices were heard in the background, June slowly opened her eyes, her blurry vision slowly cleared away revealing a cave ceiling. June winced and groaned in pain quietly as her head began to throb in pain. "You're awake!" She heard a familiar voice. She slowly turned her head seeing it was Vilkas, she blinked and shifted her eyes to the side seeing Farkas was sitting next to a fire looking at her concerned. She almost forgot what had happened and where she was, she was so lost in her memories and thoughts she almost thought she was back there in the past.
