SO IF YOU READ THIS BEFORE I UPDATED IT I APOLOGIZE FOR THE CONFUSION! I ACCIDENTALLY GOT A HEAD OF MYSELF AND POSTED A CHAPTER BEFORE A CHAPTER THAT WASN'T DONE YET IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE! SORRY AGAIN ^_^"""
The day quickly shifted into the evening and June finally returned to Whiterun. She didn't expect her job to take her that long but than again she didn't expect to be taking on a whole pack of wolves. 'Petty job my ass...' She was all scratched up and had bite marks all over her but she's been through worse. She sighed in relief when she entered Whiterun. She wondered if she could take tomorrow off.
She made her way through town and to Jorrvaskr. When she walked around the building she saw Ria and Athis were talking. When June walked by him he glared at her and she glared right back. It was clear they didn't like each other especially after yesterday. June walked inside and saw that everyone else was sitting down eating.
Vilkas looked up hearing the door open and smiled a little seeing that June was returing. He was sitting down next to his brother who was struggling with something he wouldn't tell him. Seradia was sitting down a few seats away from them. June saw her and walked over taking a seat. Seradia jumped hearing movement next to her, she was lost in her writing. "What took you so long?" She asked her seeing it was June. "It was a tough one." June rubbed her sore arm that had most of the scratches on it.
"A petty job was tough?" Vilkas smirked. June looked at him. "It wasn't petty." She furrowed her eyebrows down at him. "Sure, sure." He looked down at the table keeping the smirk on his face. June sneered at him a little and than leaned back in her chair crossing her arms. "So did you go see the wench today?" She tried getting at his nerves but it didn't work. He just looked up at her casually now.
'Should I tell her?' He wondered if it would be a good idea. Or if it would be too soon. Vilkas saw her raise an eyebrow at him. 'Nah. I'll let it be for now.' He decided. "Why? Would that make you jealous?" He smirked deciding to play with her a bit. She quickly glared at him. "I don't get jealous." She than looked away only making him chuckle. Farkas looked at his brother a bit confused. When he returned he told him what happened with Camilla. Vilkas looked at Farkas and gave him a look telling him to leave it alone. Farkas nodded and looked down at the table.
June sat there for a few more moments and than quickly got up. "I'm going to bed." She felt annoyed and awkward now. When she walked by she tensed up as she heard Vilkas chuckle. She sneered at him and quickly walked to the stairs leaving the room. Farkas just sat there for a moment and than remembered. "Oh! I need to tell her something!" He quickly got up from his chair and ran after her. Vilkas watched him and than went back to eating.
"Hey June!" Farkas stopped her as he ran down the stairs. She raised an eyebrow at him. "We have a job to do tomorrow." He started to explain. "Tomorrow? What job?" She furrowed her eyebrows down. "We are to retrieve something in an old ruin that's not to far from Whiterun." He answered. 'So much for asking for a day off...' She rubbed the back of her neck. She than sighed and went to bed calling it a night.
Early morning the next day June was packing her things to get ready to head to Dustman's Cairn with Farkas. "So why do you have to go to this ruin? What's there?" Seradia kept asking her questions about it. "I don't know, I was just told that it was part of my punishment." She said with a sigh. She found out that Vilkas wasn't going and it confused her, she thought they were being punished together but they were only making her go with Farkas.
"I'm coming with you." Seradia quickly got up from the bed and started to pack. June raised an eyebrow at her as she watched. "I don't know if Farkas will let you come.." June said. "I don't care. I'm going. We always go to things like this together." Seradia tied her bag shut and placed it on her back. "Let's get going." With out another look to June she walked out the door. June just shrugged and quickly followed her.
Farkas was waiting outside for June. He was looking up at the sky watching it change colors as the sun rose. He heard the door opened and turned around seeing that Seradia was the first to walk out. "We're ready to go." She said. Farkas looked at her confused. "We?" He asked. "I'm going with you." She said with a nod. "Uh.." He rubbed the back of his neck. "I don't think you're suppose too...I think it's just suppose to be-" Seradia quickly cut him off and pointed her index finger in his face. "I don't care. I am going and you're just going to have to deal with it." She than walked past him. "Now come on." She kept walking. Farkas watched her surprised, he than looked at June who than walked by him. "You heard the woman." She said with a shrug and a chuckle. Farkas let out a sigh and than followed.
They walked through Whiterun in silence. Farkas was watching Seradia as she was walking a head of them. Since they been there he hadn't seen her act like that before, she seemed...dominate...and part of him liked it. Everyday she's there he finds something new about her. They walked through the gate and before they got past the stables Seradia came to a quick stop. June and Farkas both looked at her surprised.
She didn't realize it once they left but she felt like they were following HER. Seradia slowly turned around, her cheeks glowing a light pink. "I uh..don't know where to go.." She said a bit embarrassed. Farkas looked at her for a moment and than chuckled at how quickly she became shy and adorable again. He than walked by her with a smile on his face. "Follow me." She nodded and quickly followed along with June.
It took them a few hours to get there, they kept small talk between them but nothing interesting. When they started to approach it Seradia stopped and examined the ruin. Farkas turned around and looked at her. "What?" He asked. "It's a Nordic ruin?" She asked him. "Yea, why?" He raised an eyebrow at her. She quickly looked away from him. "Nothing.." June chuckled making Seradia quickly glare at her. "Draugr scare her." June walked past them both and up to the ruin. "They...they do not!" Seradia felt her cheeks become warm.
Farkas examined her face, he could see the lack of excitement and interest in her face. She really did look like she didn't want to go in there. "They're not that bad. They're just half dead." Farkas took a few steps towards her. "Exactly! How could you say that so casually! It's so..unnatural!" She got the chills just thinking about it. 'Unnatural huh? Than she wouldn't like me if she knew..' He clenched his jaw as he could feel the beast inside him slowly stir around. Seradia than let out a sigh and slowly walked by him. "Let's just get this over with..." She mumbled with a frown on her face. Farkas watched her for a moment and than followed.
Once they entered the ruin the smell of death greeted them. June and Farkas were used to it but it still made Seradia feel sick to her stomach. 'I should've stayed back in Jorrvaskr...' She sighed feeling regret. "Don't worry Sera, I'm sure Farkas will protect you!" June who was already in the next room called back to them. Farkas and Seradia both blushed and tried walking through the door at the same time. "Oh sorry!" Farkas quickly got out of the way. Seradia just walked through the door not even looking at him.
When they walked into the room they saw June examining an already dead draugr. Seradia blinked and walked over looking at it. "Look's like we're not alone here.." Farkas looked at it for a moment and than walked up to the opening that led on. "Tread carefully. There's probably traps here too." Farkas warned them. They both nodded and followed him. The opening led to a short set of stairs.
Once they reached the bottom of the stairs they all heard the familiar growls that came from draugr. Seradia immediately felt her stomach twist and turn but she tried to ignore it as she summoned her magic. Four draugr stepped down from their places in the walls and than quickly charged at the three. It wasn't a hard fight since they were lesser draugr and only four, Seradia took down one while June and Farkas took care of the others. She sighed in relief once it was over.
They continued on coming across more dead draugr that were obviously struck down by someone else or perhaps something else. Seradia was glad that they were already dead but she also felt a bit worried about who might of done it. They walked down some more stairs that led into a large chamber. It only had one door in it that led out and that door's gate was shut tight.
"I'm sure there is a release some where, look around." Farkas said as he walked into the room. June and Seradia went separate ways looking around. June was looking carefully in the walls to see if there were any hidden chains. Seradia walked into a small room that was connected to the chamber. She looked around carefully and than smiled seeing a lever. "Hey!" She called to them as she pulled the lever. "I found-" She was quickly cut off by a loud slam behind her. She turned around seeing that the gate to the room shut behind her trapping her.
June and Farkas both looked once they heard to noise. Once June saw what happened she couldn't help but laugh. Seradia glared at her. Farkas walked up to the gate examining it. "Now look at what you got yourself into." He said with a small smile. Seradia grabbed the bars of the gate and frowned at him. June walked up standing next to Farkas, Farkas looked at Seradia keeping the smile on his face. "Don't worry. I'll go see if I can find a-" His smile quickly faded away as several new scents were approaching them. June could smell them too.
They both turned around just in time as the other gate flew open. Farkas sneered as he saw that the many scent's were coming from the Silver Hand. Werewolf hunters. "Well, well, well. Look who we got here." The man who looked like their leader grinned as they all quickly surrounded June and Farkas. Farkas and June both quickly backed up towards the gate trying to shield Seradia. 'Who are they..' Seradia slowly let got of the gate and backed away.
"We knew you would be here!" A woman laughed. "It's time to die dog!" They kept on taunting him and laughing. "Wait.." The laughter quickly stopped. "Who are they?" The woman pointed at June and Seradai. "Doesn't matter. Anyone who is with him will die with him." The leader drew his weapon out and once he did the others grabbed theirs. Farkas glared at them deeply, they were surrounded and Seradia was trapped. There were too many for just him and June to handle.
Farkas knew what he had to do but he didn't like it. He had to put Seradia in the back of his mind for a moment if they were to survive this. "Killing you will make an excellent story!" The woman grinned. Farkas stood up straight and slowly put his weapon away. June watched him confused. He took in a deep breath. "Too bad that non of you are going to be alive to tell it." He looked up at them and once he did his eyes turned red.
A low growl left Farkas's throat, his armor started to pop off and his muscles grew. His teeth quickly changed into fangs and his nails into claws. Seradia gasped loudly as she saw the man before her transform into a terrifying beast. "Hurry! Kill it!" The leader yelled. They all charged right for him but they were no match. Seradia backed away more till her back hit the wall, she slowly slid down it sitting on the ground. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. "F-Farkas?" She whispered.
June quickly got out of the way know she would only get caught in the way. Farkas sliced them all open and than he tackled the leader to the ground. His claws dug into his skin deeply. The leader yelled in pain before Farkas bit down onto his neck and broke it. He slowly got off of the man. For a second Farkas lost himself and quickly glared at June. June clenched her bow tightly, she could smell the rage coming out of him. His eyes went to Seradia and seeing the look on her face made him snap out of it. Her eyes were filled with fear and disbelief. She watched the blood drip from his fangs.
Seeing the way she was looking at him made him whimper. She didn't see Farkas, she saw a monster. Farkas slowly turned away and saw that the gate was now open. He knew there would be some kind of release on the other side so he ran through it. June quickly looked back at Seradia and frowned seeing the look on her face. Farkas changed back and pulled the release lever. He heard the other gate open.
He was about to walk back into the room but he stopped himself remembering that he was now naked. 'Oh..great..' He sighed. June was about to walk to Seradia but she saw Farkas's head peek through the other door. She raised an eyebrow at him. "Uhm.." He cleared his throat. "Could you..Turn away for a moment?" He asked a bit embarrassed. "You see I'm kinda.." He didn't have to say any more. June nodded and turned around away from him. Seradia also knew what he meant and quickly shifted around till her back was towards the door. She put her hands over her eyes and she was trying to figure out what was going to happen next.
Farkas quickly ran into the room and went to the leader's dead body. He saw that he was wearing steal armor and that it looked about his size. With out wasting any time he quickly took the armor off of the corpse and put it on himself. Once he finished strapping on the last piece of armor he slowly turned around and cleared his throat telling them that that was done. June turned back around looking at him, she saw that his eyes went immediately to Seradia who still had her back turned towards them.
He clenched his jaw and looked down at the ground. 'What do I say?' He felt like he was going to be sick from this. How did she see him now? Would she be afraid of him now? Farkas decided to find out. He slowly walked up to her. She tensed up hearing footsteps from behind. June watched. Seradia slowly lowered her hands down and turned her head seeing Farkas standing behind her.
She slowly got up off of the ground. She looked into his eyes and saw worry, she still didn't know if what she saw was true. "Uhm.." She began to speak slowly looking down at the ground. "Are you..." She found herself struggling to say the word. "A werewolf? Yea.." He answered for her. Seradia quickly looked up at him a bit surprised, there was no point in him denying it. "R-really?.." She placed her hands on her chest and took a step towards him. Farkas clenched his jaw, what was going to happen next? Was she going to leave? Leave Jorrvaskr? The thought of it made his heart ache, he had never met a woman like her before.
He didn't know what to expect but excitement appearing in her eyes was not what he imagined would happen next. "Wow!" She smiled with excitement. Sure the beast was terrifying but it was also exciting. "I've read so much about the myth of werewolves! I never thought of ever knowing one!" She got closer to him examining him. Farkas looked at her confused, as did June. "It's so...Fascinating! But also scary.." She looked own tapping her chin. "I should put a werewolf in my book..." She mumbled.
Farkas rubbed the back of his neck. "You're not..Scared?" He slowly asked. She looked back up at him. "Yea..I am a little.." She admitted. "But..I'm more excited to learn about it." She examined his face. "If..You'll let me.." She than looked down with a small smile. "Uh..Sure.." Farkas felt relief. "Just don't...Turn around me anymore..Alright?" She looked back up at him looking a bit scared now. "Don't worry. I don't plan on it." Farkas nodded. "Great." She smiled and than walked past him. "Come on. I wanna get this over with!" Seradia said leaving the room. Farkas looked at June and she just smiled and shrugged. She quickly followed after Seradia with Farkas right behind her.
