A few days have passed since June was brought to the unknown building. They barely ever came down and when they did it was to give get food which was a rarity. June had made many attempts to escape but all failed since she was chained to the wall. Her hands were restrained and even if they weren't she had no lock picks. They took everything from her, she was lucky at least to have her armor still. She was surprised they didn't strip her from the way the others talked around her.
June's stomach made a painful growl begging her for food. She tried to ignore it but being stuck in a small cell made it hard. She lost feeling in her arms a couple days ago. She knew that the others were probably looking for her but she knew they wouldn't find her. She didn't even know where she was.
June was lost in her own thoughts, they went from on how she was going to get out of here to doubting she would escape. They even went to Vilkas making his face pop up into her mind but he wasn't the only one. Seradia also came to her mind many times, June knew she was probably freaking out by now and for some reason that made her chuckle. Just picturing the look that was probably on her face brought a small smile to June.
She jumped hearing the door open, she slowly looked up listening to the footsteps coming down the stairs. Along with the footsteps there were a couple of voices. She recognized both of them, one of the was the man who captured her and the other was Maven. 'Finally.' June clenched her jaw as she saw Maven approach her cell. "Well, now. This is a satisfying site." Maven crossed her arms and examined June. "You look awful." Maven smirked.
June glared at her deeply. She yanked the chains but of course it didn't do anything but make her wrists hurt more. "Leave us." Maven turned her head towards Jareed. He nodded and turned around leaving the room. "Oooh..." Maven sighed with a smile on her face as she looked back at June. "I've been searching for you for a long time." Maven crossed her arms. "I'm flattered." June smirked. "Smart that you decided to hide among the Companions. Almost made it impossible for me to find you." Maven tilted her head and examined June more.
"I wasn't hiding. You just have shitty hires." June chuckled. Maven sneered at her. "Joke all you like trash, it's not going to help you any." Maven uncrossed her arms and walked over to a table that was in the middle of the room. She had her back turned towards June. "Having me chained up isn't going to help YOU any." June clenched her fists. "Is that so?" Maven chuckled.
"When I escape, and I WILL escape. I'm going to kill your family right in front of you and than slit your throat." June's anger started to rise. "Than you'll see what it's like." June growled. It didn't effect Maven like she thought it would, Maven just laughed. She laughed really hard. June looked at her confused. June really wasn't going to kill her family, she just wanted to scare Maven but all it did was entertain her. Maven really was a heartless witch.
Mavne finished laughing and wiped the tear from her eye. "You're a heartless bitch." June looked at her like she was sick. "And you're nothing but a barking dog!" Maven put down the note she picked up and walked back over to the cell. "So just keep on barking because it's not doing anything good! Trust me when I say. You won't be here long enough to kill me." Maven bent down a bit to meet eye contact with June.
Their eyes met, Maven could almost see the raging fire in June but she didn't care. "What? You going to kill me?" June raised an eyebrow at her. "Oh no. Actually the opposite. I need you alive." Maven stood up straight. June looked at her confused. "You'll be surprised at how much an interested party would pay for the Dragonborn." Maven grinned. June furrowed her eyebrows down at Maven. 'Oh this isn't good..' June started to try and think of who would want her. She's made a lot of enemy's. "You gonna tell who or leave me guessing?" She finally asked. "Oh you'll see soon." Maven chuckled.
June glared at her again. 'Typical' June slightly looked away. "So until then-" Maven was cut off by the door opening and shutting loudly. June looked over at the stairs and waited. She could tell it was a man by how heavy the footsteps were and once she saw who it was. Her stomach ached and her fire rose inside her. She felt like the wolf was going to rip right out of her. It was Brynjolf. "Why did you call me her Maven?" He sounded annoyed. Maven didn't have to say anything, all had to do was turn her head towards the cell.
Once Brynjolf looked in June's direction his jaw dropped and his stomach hurt. Their eyes met and Brynjolf could see the hate in her eyes but he saw something else. Was it sadness? Brynjolf swallowed hard and slowly looked back at Maven. "What..What is it?" He asked. "It's your punishment for almost turning the Thieves Guild against me." Maven answered. Brynjolf clenched his jaw and looked back at June. Her eyes didn't leave him. "What is it you want me to do?" He feared the answer but he had to ask. "I want you to guard June and make sure she doesn't attempt to escape and if she does take care of her." Maven looked at her.
Brynjolf sneered at Maven. 'Of all the people to..' He looked back at June. 'She did this on purpose.' He let out a small sigh. "How long?" Brynjolf asked. "Just until the..I mean my friends arrive which will most likely be tomorrow." Mave walked back over to the table and picked the letter back up. "Don't mess this up Brynjolf." She looked at him one last time and than turned around leaving the room.
Brynjolf felt chills go down his spine as he knew June's eyes were on him. He slowly turned around to face her and this time she was glaring at him deeply. She didn't look like the June he used to know. It looked like there was something more to her now. "Should of known you'd be involved in this." June spoke with a hateful voice. "I'm not behind anything." Brynjolf sighed. "Didn't hear me when I asked what Maven wanted? I didn't know you were here." Brynjolf took a seat in a chair next to the cell.
June clenched her jaw and quickly looked away. No words needed to be passed between them. Brynjolf slowly looked back at her, he examined her face and once his eyes went to her scar he felt his heart break. Remembering that fight was painful to him and he never forgot. He remembered searching for her for weeks and finally gave up when a month went by and now..She was here..Right in front of him and he was lost for words.
He wanted to speak to her, talk to her but he had no idea what to say or if he even should say anything. Brynjolf let out a small sigh as he leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed. He looked down at the ground. "Why are you still working for Maven?" June asked with a shaky voice. Brynjolf looked at her a bit surprised. "After what..She tried to do.." June slowly looked at him. "It wasn't just me who she tried to kill then." Their eyes met once again.
"Do you think I want to?" Brynjolf leaned forward in his chair resting his arms on his knees. "I tried talking the Thieves Guild into leaving Maven but hardly any of them would follow. I'm not their..Leader..So they wouldn't listen to me." Brynjolf explained. "Also I think they were to scared to go behind her back." He sighed. June looked away again. "There is no one new leading the Thieves actually. Far as I know most of them still think you are.." Brynjolf trailed off. "I'm not." June spoke with a stern voice.
Brynjolf quickly got up from the chair and stood in front of the cell. "If you.." He hesitated but went for it anyways. "If you came back..I bet you could talk them into going against Maven. They-" She quickly cut him off. "No! I'm never going back!" June yelled and glared at him. Brynjolf furrowed his eyebrows down. "But if you-" She cut him off again. "Shut up! The only reason I would ever think of going back there is to kill you!" She glared at him deeply. "Maven may have been the one who ordered the death of my family but don't you dare think for a damn second that I forgot who delivered the blow!" June yelled at him again making him wince.
Brynjolf clenched his jaw tightly. "I didn't know." He spoke threw shut teeth. "I didn't know that...That was going to happen.." He clenched his fists. "I don't care." June quickly looked away again. "Just shut up and leave me alone." She mumbled. Brynjolf sighed and shook his head. He went back to his chair and sat down. Now the room was filled with nothing but silence.
It had now been several days since June was taken and it for a while it felt like their search was going no where. Vilkas's patience was running thin. He was ready to blame anyone for this, even Ginji. How did he know if Ginji was telling the truth? Maybe he was one of them and was taking them farther from June. He was ready to jump the Khajiit while he slept but luckily one day they came across a traveler who couldn't keep his mouth shut.
The traveler was a young Dark Elf boy who looked like he had just left a home somewhere. He was distraught and they had to make him calm down to be able to understand him. What he had to say was definatly what they needed. It turned out that the young boy came across the people that took June. He was one of the few that questioned what they were doing and the only one who didn't believe their story.
So what he did was hide in the shadows and followed them all the way to their spot. He peaked in one of the windows and listened to one of their conversations. She wasn't a thug, she was the victim. Once he heard this he turned tale and ran, he ran for so long. Every person he stopped wouldn't listen to him, most of them were Nords and all they would say was. "Get lost gray skin." And pushed him.
The boy was relieved when someone finally listened to him. "Come on this way!" The young boy called to him. He was running a head of them. "How do we know this isn't a trap?" Farkas asked as they ran behind him. "We don't but I'm not giving up this possibility." Vilkas replied. "He's right. We can't risk ignoring this." Ginji said. Seradia was way behind them, it seemed like non of them noticed.
It felt like they had been running for miles and she was running out of breath. "G-guys!" She tried calling out to them but couldn't manage to get her voice loud enough. She took in a deep breath and started to run fast but she reached her limit and fell to the ground. "Dammit.." She cursed under her breath. She slowly sat up and looked up seeing they were getting farther. She took in another deep breath. "Guys!" This time her voice was loud and they heard her.
Farkas quickly stopped and turned around seeing how far back she was. "Oh!" He quickly ran to her. Vilkas and Ginji were right behind him. The young boy just waited. "Are you okay?" Farkas bent down beside her and helped her sit up. Seradia was out of breath and turned sitting on her bottom. "Can we please stop and make camp already?" She begged. "What? No." Vilkas furrowed his eyebrows down at her. Seradia sighed and fell back onto the ground, she looked up at the sky. "If we keep going like this I'm going to die!" She shouted.
Vilkas crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. "You're being dramatic." He stated. "I am not!" She yelled. "Guys we need to hurry." The young Elf boy ran up to them. "Come on Sera get up." Vilkas knelt down by her. Seradia let out a loud sigh. "Vilkas.." Farkas looked at his brother. Their eyes met. "We really should stop and rest for the night. There's only so much in one person." Farkas helped Seradia sit back up.
"I agree." Ginji said. Vilkas sighed and rubbed his forehead. He closed his eyes thinking for a moment. "Alright fine!" Vilkas sighed and got up. "You can camp with us if you like." Vilkas looked at the young boy. The boy gave him a worried look and than nodded. "Yes!" Seradia cheered. Farkas smiled as he helped her get to her feet. "Here." He got in front of her and bent down. "I'll give you a ride." He pointed to his back with his thumb. Seradia smiled and climbed up onto his back wrapping her arms around his neck. Farkas got up from the ground carefully and held onto the bottom of her legs as they walked. She sighed in relief that she didn't have to walk anymore for the day.
It only took them a little while to find a good spot the camp. The young boy decided to turn in early since he had been running for so long. Vilkas was sitting by the fire with a half eating salted meat sandwich in his hand. He was staring into the flames deep in though. Farkas just finished changing and walked out of his tent. He looked over seeing Vilkas. Farkas walked and took a seat next to him. "You okay?" Farkas asked grabbing bread that was wrapped up in a cloth. "Yea." Vilkas blinked and than took a bite out of his sandwich.
Farkas examined the look on his face. "I thought you'd be a bit cheery now since we found out where June is." Farkas took a bite out of the bread. "Just because we know where she is doesn't mean she's safe." Vilkas stated quietly. Farkas sighed and took another bite. He than looked around. "Where is Sera?" He asked. "I don't know. She went somewhere not too long ago." Vilkas shrugged. "Huh.." Farkas furrowed his eyebrows down. He quickly ate the last of his bread and went looking for her.
It wasn't hard to look for her since her sweet scent was still fresh in the air. As it got stronger he started to look around which meant, he wasn't watching where he was going. It didn't take long for his foot to get caught in a root. He fell hard into some bushes landing right on his face. He groaned and slowly sat up, now his head hurt. He rubbed his head but than quickly stopped once he got smelled something different in the air. It was water and not long after he figured that out he heard some splashing.
He slowly looked up and once he did his eyes grew wide and his heart stopped for a moment. The smell came from a small pond that was just in front of him and the splashing came from Seradia. Who was bathing in the pond. She wasn't facing him but she didn't have too. He could still see her very clearly. "By the gods.." He whispered as he examined her pale naked body.
The water level went up to her stomach, she slightly turned as she ran her fingers threw her wet hair. He could see the side of her breasts. She had a small body but he liked that. Seradia heard the bushes rustle and she could see something in the corner of her eye. She slowly turned her head.
Vilkas stood up by the fire and was rubbing the middle of his back. It was sore from sitting for so long. He jumped hearing a loud scream in the distance. Ginji quickly ran out of his tent looking in the direction it was coming from. "That was Sera!" Vilkas took off running with Ginji right behind him. If Sera was in danger than so was Farkas since he went after her, that made Vilkas's stomach twist as he neared the destination. But when they got there, it was defiantly not what Vilkas was expecting.
They both stopped and looked at the scene before them confused. "Farkas you pervert!" Seradia was down in the water now and had her back turned towards them. Although they couldn't see her she was covering her breasts with her arms. "No, No! It's not what you think!" Farkas was standing in front of the water, his face red hot. "What's uh..What's going on?" Vilkas asked rubbing the back of his neck. Farkas jumped and quickly looked at them.
"Farkas was peeping at me while I was bathing!" Seradia turned around still covering herself and pointed at Farkas. "No! No I wasn't!" Farkas waved his hands in front of him. "I was only looking for you and than I tripped and looked up at the wrong time!" Farkas quickly explained. "Liar!" She pointed at him again. She was blushing brightly. "No I'm not lieing! I would never look at your naked body!" He didn't realized how that sound until he said it. She slowly put her hand down and blinked. "Really?" She asked. She sounded and looked disappointed.
"Oh brother.." Vilkas rubbed his forehead and chuckled. "Well..Wait...I mean.." He stuttered. Seradia looked at him for a moment longer and than quickly turned around making her back face them again. "Well whatever! Just leave so I can finish!" She yelled at them all. Farkas quickly turn around and hurried away. Vilkas watched him and quickly followed. As they walked back to the camp him and Ginji both started laughing. "It's not funny." Farkas quickly glared at them.
"Well..It's pretty funny." Ginji kept laughing along with Vilkas. Farkas glared at them again and than quickly went into his tent closing it behind him. 'Idiot!' He scolded himself.
