As soon as the five people appeared I turned tail and began to run the girl with the hood appeared to be a red guard or Nord but I really don't care all I care about now is survival. I ran over the old bridge next to the orphanage and above the rat-way I managed to weave in and out of the citizens but the group of pursuers were right behind me I approached the gate of Riften the two guards ripped off their helmets and began chasing me I slid on the hard dirt ground.

I unsheathed my blade and stabbed it into one of the guards stomach and threw him into my pursuers the other guard approached a bit late I already had my weapon ready whilst he didn't it was an easy kill. I didn't like the thought of killing a person but if it's to survive its a different story, the five people caught up to me ready for a fight but I wasn't going to fight its a death sentence on the guard tower next to me there was bricks popped out that I could use to climb and escape. I scooped a handful of dirt and threw it into their eyes to blind them for a couple seconds but hey It worked, blinded they looked around giving me enough time to scale the wall and escape Riften, they already knew were I was heading so they exited Riften via the gates and commenced chasing me.

I was closing in on a farm that had a good amount of horses I could use to escape this retched place, one of my pursuers shot an ebony arrow at me but I caught it used the arrow to load my own bow and shot it right back at the red guard man with the arrow piercing his throat. I was at the farm and I mounted one of the horses "I promise to return him but I need him" the Nord lady nodded and commenced her farming. I galloped in the same direction of the enemy in a trick I learnt before you go the way they are going and attack them more an ambush but a good tactic. The red guards ran towards me but I didn't care I just had to escape.

As I galloped past the red guards they had no choice but to spin around and continue the chase, one of the red guards began firing arrows towards me barely missing with every shot. I turned around to see how far away they were but I couldn't shake them, I never knew how fast red guards were until you see one catch up to a horse at full speed, soon nearly every red guard pulled out a bow I knew this was going to be close.

"Ahhhhh" I screamed in a cat like manner I looked behind me to find an arrow in my calf but I had successfully escaped the red guards, I pulled my horse to a stop to have a better look at the arrow. I grabbed at the end of the arrow and let out another scream the pain can not be described, but I was still able to pull the arrow out of my leg. After close examination of the arrow I found a green liquid on the end of the arrow damn it Frostbite venom, I threw the arrow into the bushes and kept moving to whatever town or city was closest.

3 days later.......

I was still in the open and my injury was just getting worse plus I have a paranoia because the venom/poison can set in at any second and I could die so a lot has been on my mind. I saw a small village in the distance that I think is Rorikstead, I arrived about ten minutes after I saw it and it was definitely what I thought, my mind began to shift and I began to lose my sight everything was blurred and I couldn't see where I was going I began to black out. I thought to myself is this the end?

Thoughts began racing through my head, what should I do? Is this the end? Am I going to live? A tall Orc approached but my hatred for the race made me yell " go away before I kill you!" I guess you could say it started seven years ago..

7 years ago......

It was a normal day in Elsweyr my family and I were running around cooking and playing games a close friend of mine that was khajiit but had a little imperial in her she was amazing her Crimson green eyes glistened in the light her light brown fur complimenting her personality funny, friendly and a little shy. Anyway an Orc had been living in our town for about a week and then one night he yelled out something but I can't remember, all I could see was a horde of orcs storming over the hill destroying everything in their way including my family and Me'zerta.

I flashed back to reality but I wasn't on my horse I was in some kind of a hut I leant to my left and saw wilderness I wasn't in Rorikstead anymore, "where am I?" I asked with a croak in my voice but still understandable. I was surprised to be answered by a female voice but I'd know that voice anywhere, " hey Si'rafe" I looked to my right to see a familiar and beautiful face "hey Me'zerta long time no see." She put her finger to my lips quieting me " don't speak you need to rest ok" I gave a respectable nod and closed my eyes I was accompanied with a warm hug which put me to sleep.

I awoke from the sizzle of food and a soft soup my eyes pried open looking at nothing but Me'zerta, our eyes locked like nothing was around us but the silence was broken by the skeever falling onto the floor. I tried to get up and help but Me'zerta didn't let me she said that the poison was still a little in effect, "how did you find me" I looked at her my face straight ready for an answer " I am never that far Rafe, and this hut, I have lived here for 4 years now. Hey you like competitions and I need food now about see who can get the most game unless your scared?"

I stood up and found my bow was replaced with an elven one " nothing but the best hey?" I said mocking Mez with a small grin on my face. "Well you know me gotta keep up with the best of everything" she said quite pleased with herself. We exited the hut and strolled beside a river, she looked behind herself to see if I was keeping up but I was no where to be seen "Rafe, Rafe where are you Rafe?" I arose out of the water yelling, surprising Me'zerta she took out her orcish sword and point it at me. "Mez it's just me" I walked towards her "please don't scare me like that i really care about you Rafe"

***Me'zerta's P.O.V***
A tear ran down the side of my face Rafe meant a lot to me and without him I don't know what I would do he is my everything, he ran his finger back and forth on my face wiping away my tears. "Rafe I..I l.love you" I said clutching my eyes together it was the hardest sentence I had ever said.

It was nothing but silence for all of five seconds when Rafe began to move his hand from underneath my eye to my cheek, the world around us felt like it stopped this our moment but more so my moment. He leant in as did I is this the time we make our move all that ran through my mind is this kiss it had to be perfect, his lips touching mine the world went back into reality but I could stay like this forever.

"I love you too Mez, wait did you here that...." I looked around in a circle and saws pair of gleaming eyes in a nearby shrub." Vampires"
