"Hmmm..I see.." Kodlak said rubbing his chin. Vilkas had just finished explaining to him what had happened. "I don't know how long we are going to be gone.." Vilkas slightly looked down. "I understand." He nodded. "Vilkas." Farkas had walked into the room. "We're ready." He said with Seradia standing behind him. Vilkas nodded to him. They said their goodbye's to Kodlak and than left Jorrvaskr.
Ginji was waiting outside of Whiterun for them. The guards wouldn't let him in because he was a Khajiit. 'Nothing's changed I see..' He thought to himself as he walked over to a caravan that was sitting outside of Whiterun. The Khajiit's there smiled and greeted him happily. He bought some supplies from them. After a little while he heard some footsteps approaching him. He turned around seeing that it was June's friends. "Are you all ready now?" He asked walking pu to them. They all nodded. "Than let's go." He turned around and started walking with them right behind him.
Evening had appeared once they reached the spot where the two bodies were. They examined them some more and moved on. Luckily it seemed like that there was only way that the capture's could've gone for now. They walked for miles and there was no sign of any travelers and any hints of the scent from June or whom ever may of taken her. It grew dark quickly and they decided to camp for the night.
Farkas and Vilka were pitching the tents and Seradia had built a fire. Ginji was setting their things down in a safe spot. After Seradia got the fire going she sat down in front of it and just stared into the flames. She worried about June and what could be happening to her right now. 'Why didn't she ever tell me any of this?' Seradia wondered. A small frown appeared on her face as she hugged her knees to her chest. Farkas looked over at her and noticed her frown.
He knew she was worried but he didn't know what he could do to make her feel better. His brother was also on edge from all of this. Farkas seemed to be stuck in the middle of them both, he thought of many ways to ease their worry but he couldn't think of anything that would work.
Ginji walked over and sat down next to Seradia. "Tell me." He began. "How long have you known June?" He asked her. "About four years now I think." She answered keeping her eyes on the fire. "I've only been traveling with her for two though." She rested her chin on top of her knees. "I see." Ginji also looked at the fire. "What about you two?" He looked up at Farkas and Vilkas. "Well we've known her for probably about four years maybe five. It's hard to say really." Farkas shrugged. "For the most part she wasn't around." Vilkas said. "How long has she been around now?" Ginji asked. "A few months." Vilkas answered. "I see." He said again.
"Why are you asking?" Seradia looked away from the fire and at him. Ginji's eyes went to her. "I'm just curious is all. It's nice to know she wasn't completely alone all these years." He slowly looked back at the fire. "Oh.." Seradia examined him some more and than looked away. "How come you guys didn't talk anymore till now?" Farkas asked. "We did for a while after I left Skyrim but...It's hard to stay close to someone when you're so far away." His ears went back a little.
Vilkas was staring at him and examining him. He wasn't sure if he trusted this Khajiit or not so he was cautious of him. Vilkas let out a sigh and walked over to the tent that was for him and Farkas. "I'm going to go to bed." He said. "You're not going to eat?" Seradia asked him. "No." Was all he said and than disappeared behind the door flap of the tent. Farkas rubbed the back of his neck staring at the tent for a moment. He than looked at Seradia and walked over sitting down next to her.
"I think I am going to retire for the night as well." Ginji got up from the ground and dusted himself off. "Goodnight." He walked over to his own tent he pitched up away from them. He wasn't sure if he could trust them either. Seradia let out a small sigh as she kept staring at the fire, she watched the flames dance together.
Farkas and Seradia both sat there in silence. Nothing but the sound of the small breeze and small insects around them was heard. Seradia wasn't in much of a mood to talk anyways, she had too much on her mind. Farkas clenched his jaw as he slightly looked at her, he tried thinking of something to say but nothing came to his mind. "I'm really worried." Seradia finally spoke. Farkas jumped a little from it and quickly looked at her. "I know..and there isn't a reason why you shouldn't be but.." He rubbed the back of his neck. "I don't know if this will make you feel any better but, the note did say to bring her alive so..We know she's alive at least..." He slowly lowered his hand down on the ground.
Farkas saw her hand was on the ground right next to her and wanted to touch it but wasn't sure if it would be wise right now. "I suppose.." She sighed. She lowered her knees down and leaned back on one of her hands. Farkas looked back down at her hand, he couldn't help but slowly scoot his closer to hers. "We'll find her." He whispered softly. She tensed up once she felt his hand slide against hers. It was a small touch but it was enough to make her stomach flutter. She felt him slowly slide his hand on top of hers. She looked down at it and examined the difference in the sizes for a moment.
She looked back up and almost jumped at how close he was to her now. Their eyes met and they just gazed at each other. Seradia felt him slowly move his hand up to her arm, gently sliding his finger against her skin causing her to have goosebumps. Her heart started to pounding against her chest and she started to feel hot. There was a flame between them now, just like in the fire it was dancing wildly making their want for each other stronger.
Seradia felt her cheeks grow warm as his hand reached up to her face. What was going to happen? It looked like he wanted to kiss her but it seemed like something was holding him back. In her mind she almost begged him to make a move. Farkas just sat there for a moment, admiring the way she looked with the glow from the fire on her face. Her eyes were bright and beautiful. She slowly looked down biting her lower lip. Did she really want him to kiss her or was just wanting the comfort from someone? She always found it hard to get close to anyone ever since the college, but with Farkas..It felt different.
As soon as she looked down Farkas brought her face back up to look at him. Once again their eyes met and Farkas could see the want in her eyes. He started to slowly lean in closer to her, she took in a deep breath as he got closer. Just as they were about to seal a kiss rustling leaves near by made them both jump. Farkas quickly let go of her face and got up getting ready for anything but it was only a rabbit, a white rabbit, with gold eyes.
It looked at him with curious eyes and than looked at Seradia. It stared at her for what seemed like a long time and than hopped away. She couldn't help but feel like there was something familiar of the creature even though she'd seen plenty of rabbits on her journey. Farkas rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled. "Sorry for being jumpy." He looked back at her. "I-it's alright." She looked back at the fire. It was growing smaller.
Were they really about to kiss or was it just in her mind? Seradia wasn't so sure now and that's when she decided it was time to call it night. She got up from the ground and dusted off her bottom. "I think I'm going to bed." She said still not looking at him. "Alright.." Farkas replied. She turned around and walked into her tent. Farkas let out a sigh and sat back down at the fire. He felt his stomach growl and he realized he hadn't ate anything yet and neither have the others but they don't seem to be hungry. He went a head and ate something small and than called it a night.
June's breath was growing heavy, it was getting harder and harder to breath since they placed that sack over her head. It wasn't long since they captured her they decided to do that. It had been a few days since the day they captured her and they still haven't stopped moving, except when they decided to camp of course. At least when they did camp they took the bag off to let her breath. She had to be alive for some reason.
Her stomach muscles were aching from being pressed against the mans sharp shoulder bone. The hole time she had her hands tied behind her back and she was carried that way. She knew there was probably a bruise there now. June wondered if anyone was searching for her yet. She knew eventually they would but she wasn't too worried about it. They were taking her to Maven and that was a good thing to June. June would find some way to escape once they got there and than she would slit Maven's throat and bleed her dry.
Than after Maven it would be the men who captured her turn. During the nights when they would camp she would over hear them talking about having their way with her. 'Just try it.' She would think every time. But non of them had made a move yet, she guessed it was probably because the leader ordered them not too. Every time they even looked at her they would get punched hard.
How long have they been moving now? It wasn't long ago since they got up in the morning and started down the road again but to June it felt like forever ago. She thought eventually someone would see them and stop them to help her but every few time someone did ask them about it they would just say that they were hired by the Jarl of Riften to catch a criminal. It wasn't really a lie though that is what they were hired to do, minus the criminal part.
June kept thinking about Seradia and how freaked out she probably was now. She hoped that Seradia was still at Jorrvaskr though, June wasn't there to protect her so anything could happen to her. June could feel sweat running down the side of her face, it was hot in the bag and she hated it but there was nothing she could do about it. "How much longer boss?" She heard one of the ask. "Not much longer. Probably about a day to go, maybe less if we don't stop." The leader Jareed answered. She found out his name the other day when he was talking to what seemed to be his "second in command" his name was Roland, he was a Woof Elf.
'A day?' June let out a quiet groan. "What's your problem now bitch?" Jareed asked hearing her. "I'm just wondering how it's taking you people this long to get somewhere. Maybe you should lay off the food for a while." She smirked. Jareed sneered and tightened his grip on her making his shoulder bone dig into her deeper. "I'm getting real sick and tired of that smart mouth of yours." He said. "Maybe someone should teach her how to use it!" One of his followers shouted and once he did they all laughed. Except for Jareed. "I told you no one lays a hand on her!" He yelled at them annoyed.
"You would think she would be more scared than this." Roland mumbled. "You should be the ones who are scared." June replied. "Oh yea? And why's that?" Jareed smirked. "Because when I escape I'm going to kill all of you." She growled. Jareed's smirk quickly disappeared. "Shut up bitch!" Roland glared at her. June chuckled at them and then didn't say another word.
Just like Jareed had told them it did take another day to get to their destination. They all got up early so that they could hurry and get on the road. June was surprised when they suddenly turned from their straight road. That's when she started to pay attention. 'Right..Twenty steps forward and than left..' She thought to herself carefully. 'Ten steps forward and than left again...I hear..branches breaking..Are we in a forest?' She listened closely to their footsteps. 'Yes, we are in a forest..that was thirteen steps forward and now right..' After that they came to a stop.
She heard one of the walk past them and walk up some steps. She heard loud knocks on a door. A moment later she heard the door open. "About time!" She heard a woman's voice but it was not Maven's. It was someone she didn't know. "Sorry we got delayed." Jareed walked up the steps and into the building. June heard the door close and than Jareed continued to walk. "This way." The woman said. He followed her.
June felt him hold onto her tighter as he started to walk down a large set of stairs. 'They must be taking me to some kind of basement...' She figured. They finally reached the bottom and he walked a little more ways. She heard a metal door open and than he threw her down to the ground. It was a hard cold cement floor and June yelped in pain once she hit it hard.
Jareed roughly grabbed her wrists and untied them but before she could do anything he quickly raised them up and clapped them in iron cuffs that were attached to the wall. "There." He said as he yanked the sack of her head. She gasped for air and than glared at them deeply. "You just sit tight. It won't be long till our special guest arrives." Jareed grinned at her. "Good." June gave him a crooked smile. Jareed quickly sneered at her and than kicked her in the stomach hard. June gasped and coughed in pain.
He walked out of the cell and shut metal door behind him locking it. "Come on." He ordered the others and than left with them close behind them. She listened to them walk up the stairs and than slam the door shut behind them. A small smile appeared on her face as she lowered her head and closed her eyes. "Damn.." She whispered. "I really am in a mess this time aren't I?" She tried to move a little but it was useless. She was cuffed tightly to the wall and her stomach was in pain. She let out a small sigh and for the moment she actually hoped that someone was searching for her out there.
