AN: This chapter is long overdue. I have no excuses... besides being a lazy fuck. Oh! And no save scumming. if we fuck up, which we will, then we have to fix it like we would in RL.
Previously: "This is some serious Narnia shit."
All three kids looked around wildly taking in their tied hands and new appearances. Brianna, now a dark skinned high elf with black hair and blue eyes, was staring at the scenery mesmerized and panicking. Alauna, now a black and white khajit with legs like a cats and orange eyes, was trying to use her knew teethe and claws to get through the rope, but it wasn't working. Maybe they were enchanted for this sort of thing? Dick, now an almost teal colored orc of a huge height, was taking in his large hands. It was startling to go from his normal puny appearance to that of a huge orc.
He then realized he really should be panicking because wow this shouldn't be happening, and on top of that his shit was missing. Yup, now would be a really good time to panic. Brianna was still looking at all the trees, wondering where the hell they all were. She'd never seen this much greenery in her life!
"Where are we?" She suddenly asked. "And where's my phone? Holy shit where's my phone?!" She screeched.
"I think we're on the road to Helgen. You know, from the game we were playing before we got knocked out?... And do you guys know where my Beyblades are?" Dick spoke up. He was looking from side to side, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. In actuality, he was searching through the blinding sunlight and tall trees for the camera crew he was sure was recording them. This couldn't be real after all. Could it? He shook his head and swallowed nervously. No, it couldn't. He was sure of it.
"No one gives a flying fuck about your blade toys Dick! And I swear to god if you two don't call off this elaborate prank and give me back my tablet I will murder both of you and piss on your graves!" Alauna screamed. Dick and Brianna looked at her, startled by her outburst.
"You… You don't know what's going on? You didn't set this up?" Dick asked quietly. His voice shook a little, and there was an uncertain fear in his brown eyes.
"Of course I don't know! What do I look like? A mind reader? A fucking seer? And I don't have the money to set this up! You know this!" she shouted. Her new muzzle pulled back in her anger and panic, showing her teeth, and she continued to struggle against the bonds. She would not be going down like this, god damn it!
Brianna whimpered and turned her head down. What would happen to them? What would her brothers do without her? Dick let out a scared chuckle and turned his head down as well. While getting away had always been a dream of his, it didn't include dying at the end. They'd all been playing Skyrim many times that night. It was kinda hard to forget they'd be heading to the chopping block.
They sat quietly for a while, Alauna eventually giving up on the bonds and whimpering quietly. She'd read plenty of fanfiction about this, dreamed about it herself in fact, but she knew that things never really worked out in RL. The three other people in the cart sat, silent as the grave, and looked at the others who'd finished their shouting match.
"While it's nice you're all awake," One of them spoke up, a blonde in a blue uniform. "it would be even nicer if you didn't scream like Hagsfiends."
"Fuck you." All three of them said at once. The man seemed to ignore the insult and instead continued talking.
"You three were trying to cross the border right? Ran right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there. Bad luck." The three remained silent, still trying to come to terms with the situation.
"Name's Ralof by the way."
"My name's Brianna." Brianna said quietly, her head still down. Dick and Alauna raised theirs to look at her before speaking as well.
"My name's Dick."
"Alauna."
Ralof smiled and nodded, glad to have gotten them out of their rut at least a little. The only sound that pervaded the silence was the clopping of the horse's hooves, and the soldiers shouting orders and directions to each other over it.
"Well." Alauna spoke up suddenly. "If we're all going to die together, we might as well all die friends." She turned to the large blond haired man next to her who was gagged. "Who's this guy?" She asked, even though she knew perfectly well who he was.
"That there be Ulfric Stormcloak, leader of the rebellion." Ralof said.
"What?!" The brown haired thief next to Ralof screamed. Everyone turned to look at him, and his eyes quickly flashed from person to person. "But… But that means… We're all going to die!" He stuttered.
"Nice one Sherlock." Brianna said. Her voice was still quiet, still scared and shaky. "Would you like to share with the class how you didn't get that sooner? We're tied up, with rebels, surrounded by Imperials, on our way to Helgen. What else did you think was gonna happen fucker?" She continued.
The man seemed to choke and his eyes filled with tears. He stared at her with a desperate sadness, as if asking why she had to be so cruel. Her blue eyes turned cold, and she turned her head back down. She wasn't going to face her possible death with a whiny crybaby bitch. She wasn't in the mood to deal with this shit!
The gates of the city came into view and they rode in, the shadows of the high stone walls further darkening the trio's mood. The group ignored Ralof's short rant about the Aldmeri Dominion, after all, they'd heard it a thousand times before, and continued to sulk. When the time came to step off the cart, they did so warily.
"Guys…" Dick whispered. "You know we still might not die right? Alduin will-
"Shut up!" Alauna whispered back, cutting him off. "First of all, no one else can know about that. Second, it's after that we're worried about. I don't know about you, but Brianna and I can only use the bow, and you can't use jack shit besides a pocket knife which you don't have." Brianna nodded her head, agreeing with Alauna.
"If we somehow make it out of this," She said. "We wait until we get to Riverwood to talk and decide what the hell we should do."
"You're not gonna kill me!"
The three turned away from each other and watched the thief run off, only to get shot in the back. He seemed to fall in slow motion and two of the three turned away. Dick's face had paled and Brianna looked sick. Alauna's face was grave. She'd seem worse things, a dog getting run over for example, and this wasn't nearly as gruesome, but a death had still occurred and that in itself was cringe worthy.
"Anyone else want to try something?!" The captain shouted. The man with the paper, Hadvar Brianna remembered, looked up from it and at the three.
"You three, step forward." Hadvar said. The three did.
"Who are you three?" He asked.
"Our names are Nepeta, Feferi, and Rufioh." Alauna answered. Brianna was slightly impressed. Only slightly because she knew Alauna was terrified. She was just good at hiding it.
"What do we do captain? They're not on the list." Hadvar said, and Dick mouthed the words to himself silently.
"They go to the block." The captain said. Brianna opened her mouth to say something scathing, as she was known to do when angered, but Alauna bumped her with her shoulder, shutting her up. Brianna looked at her and Alauna's eyes said, 'This isn't the time nor the place for that shit.' Brianna reluctantly closed her mouth. The three moved to the other prisoners.
Ignoring the speech from General Tullius, the three began to plan an escape in their heads. 'We can't go out the gate because fucking dragon.' Alauna thought.
'Maybe we could muscle through the keep?' Brianna thought.
'We're gonna fucking die.' Dick thought.
They all took a moment to turn their heads and try not to puke when the one Stormcloak guy got his head cut off though. That… that was some pretty gruesome stuff.
"Next, the one named Feferi!" The captain shouted. Brianna paused. Alauna hadn't motioned to any of them when she said the names, but she was particularly fond of Nepeta. That made her Feferi. She walked up to the block, giving Alauna a sharp look when she moved to go forward instead.
She stopped in front of the block, the soldier forcing her onto her knees. The smell of the head in the basket made her gag, and in the crowd Dick edged closer to Alauna to give comfort. A roar went through the air and the three tensed.
"What was that?"
"It's nothing."
The Headsman raised his ax, and Brianna narrowed her eyes, just in case Alduin was a little too late.
Alduin dropped from the sky down onto the tower, and let out a roar that made Brianna fall over. Dick and Alauna dropped to the ground to avoid being hit, but didn't leave. Another shout from Alduin had them cross eyed, wanting everything to stop spinning. Ralof hurried over to them, crouched down low.
"Come on!" He shouted. Dick hurried away, pausing to take the bag from the cart that he couldn't remember being there before, and Alauna pushed Brianna up with her shoulder. They too hurried into one of the stone towers.
"Could the legends be true?" Ralof said.
"Legends don't burn down villages." Ulfric said.
"Okay… Okay. Ignoring the fact that I almost died… Someone get these bonds off of me!" Brianna panted. The three were leaning on each other for support, the ground still hazy and swirling. Ralof, who was looking up the stairs, took a dagger from one of the others and cut their bonds.
"Thank you." Dick said.
"No problem." Ralof said before he grabbed his shoulder. "Now, all of you, up the stairs!" They moved to do so, stopping just before they reached them. Alduin burst through the stone wall, breathing a stream of fire up the stairs and onto the soldiers above. The smell of burning flesh choked them all. Alduin moved away, seeking a different target, and they moved to look through the hole he'd made.
"See that inn on the other side? All three of you need to jump over there! I'll meet you at the bottom." Ralof said.
"Are you crazy? It's on fire!" Dick shouted.
"Everything's on fire!" Ralof shouted back. Alauna nodded, agreeing with him, and grabbed Dick's and Brianna's hand. The three jumped together, Dick getting a burn, and Alauna getting a scratch from a piece of broken wood. They then hurried out of the inn, staying low, and then met Hadvar. They waited for him to get the kid back to his parents, who they knew most likely wouldn't survive, and hurried after him when he called.
The smell of burning wood and flesh, and the screams of the fighting soldiers as they burned rang in their ears as they ran, following Hadvar. Once they reached the entrance to the keep Ralof and Hadvar began screaming at each other. Alauna and Dick screamed in frustration and anger, and grabbed them by their necks. Brianna ran forward and opened the Keep, allowing them all inside.
Once they were safely inside Dick and Alauna shoved Ralof and Hadvar's heads together, making them hit painfully.
"Listen to me, you stupid dumbasses!" Alauna screeched. "There is a fucking dragon outside! This is bigger than your war! Grow some damn brains you pieces of shit!"
Ralof and Hadvar looked from her to each other, and back again. Alauna had her teeth bared, and Brianna and Dick were looking around the room for things to take. Dick paused to give the bag to Alauna and she took it, her glare lessening. Opening it, she saw the items they were holding before they got to this hell, and took her tablet out. Clutching it to her chest, she began to cry.
Brianna walked over and patted her on the back and Dick stood off to the side, fitting Stormcloak armor over his body.
"Are you okay, prisoner?" Hadvar asked quietly.
"We just saw an entire city get burned to the ground! Of-fucking-course we're okay. We're all okay! No mental damage or trauma here!" Brianna sarcastically said. Ralof, choosing to ignore Hadvar for now, started helping Dick with the armor.
"Well," He said. "Either way, we need to get out of here. So suit up, and let's move."
AN: That's it for now. I'll get more over soon, and I'm sorry it took so long. Anyway, this is a self insert, for me and two of my friends.
