Traveling to Skyrim

Chapter 12: Wolfs and Tricks

*Lindsey POV*

Two weeks passed. The next place we found ourselves was High Hrothgar, negotiating a peace treaty between the Imperials and Stormcloaks. After it had all been settled, Delphine, who was a member of a group called the Blades, approached me.

"I have a favor to ask you, but you're not exactly the person I was looking for. Where is Sakaji?"
"She's dead." I said, my voice cracking ever so slightly.

"I guess I'll just have to leave it you then. I'm sorry for your loss. I need you to kill Paarthurnax. He's been on the Blades hit list for a while, and he was the right hand man of Alduin himself." Without much hesitation, I immediately agreed. Telling the others of Delphine's request, we all decided to get some information out of him first, before we killed him. Making sure we were stocked up on potions, we headed up the mountainside. Paarthurnax was waiting for us, his beady eyes watching us carefully.

"Paarthurnax!" I yelled up to the Dragon, and he responded.

"Yes, gentle one?"

"I'm not so gentle now... Do you know what has happened to Suzannah?"

"No, I don't."
"Do you know anything?"
"Even if I did, why would I tell you? Sakaji was the one I trusted, not you! You plot to kill me!" He roared, and I couldn't help myself. Rage filled me, and I quickly threw a few daggers into his stomach, sending poison coursing through his system. Brooke notched three Dragonbone arrows laced with the most potent of poisons, with a little nightshade mixed in, and sent them flying. Each hit their target, and Paarthurnax wailed in agony. Travis, untrusting of the plan, but following anyway, ran up as Paarthurnax's great body fell, and started to hack away with his sword. Timius, who disagreed with the plan from the start, just viewed with disgust from the side. Me and Brooke drew our swords, and joined Travis, until Paarthurnax lay dead.

"You Morons. He had information, and you just killed him!" Timius seethed, before shaking his head, deciding it wasn't worth it. He walked away, to not be seen by the others until hours later.

Darkness was all I could see. Pain was all I could feel. Until, all of that rushed away, and I sprung upwards.

"Where am I?" I looked around, seeing the plush comforter of my bed, and the messy, but organized floor of mine. My kitten jumped up on my lap, her purring vibrating throughout her entire body, happy as I scratched her ears. Walking out of my room, I went to go outside, but was stopped by my brother.

"You know that you're not allowed outside unless Mom and Dad give you permission. Did you get permission?"

"What are you talking about?" My brother sighed, before locking the door and steering me away from it.

"You're not allowed outside, remember? Mom and Dad don't want you to disappear again."

'What the hell is going on??' I thought to myself.

*Brooke POV*

It had been two weeks since Suzannah died. Lindsey, Travis and I had continued through what we thought was the main quest, and were close to defeating Alduin. We had to capture a Dragon in Dragonsreach, which was going to be difficult since we didn't have Suzannah's influence. We were still shocked, and Lindsey had gone out hunting so she could clear her head. Travis and I were sitting around the fire, worried that Lindsey would have trouble finding her way to us. Then again, it was a full moon, so she would have plenty of lighting. Time passed, and if I had to guess, it would be around midnight. Travis was acting strange though. He had turned white as a sheet, and headed out into the forest. He'd been there for a while, bad fish maybe? I heard rustling nearby, and it sounded big. Grabbing my weapon, I crouched closer to the fire, using it's light to help me see. A large figure emerged from the trees, headed for where Travis sat. He sat down and began to feast on the food we had sitting there.
