Waking up.

Throb. Throb. I slowly began opening my eyes while my senses started coming too. The cold breeze of the morning air up in the mountains of skyrim tickled my nose, The gentle breeze of the wind hitting the front of my face. My Hair that was once in a tight braid was now loose and parts of the braid fell to my face and swayed in the wind. The white snow all around us covering the large trees while tiny specks of snow fall from the sky. My hands bound tightly in front of me, My ragged brown clothes not covering much of my body which made me slightly chilly but not too terribly since I was a nord and the cold doesn't really bother me. The smell the trees and burley men around me reminded me of where I truly was and where i was heading too. A few days earlier I was in dark water crossing just living my life trying to get by as a miner for my mom who was extremely ill while my dad fought in the war with the stormcloaks. My dad had high hopes that I Was to join the stormcloaks when I turned 18 and I was too become a "true nord of skyrim" as he always put it. However i had no interest in the war but if I had to chose it wouldn't be the stormcloaks! One day I was minding my own business when a drunk Stormcloak officer was walking along the road north of the mine I unfortunately had to walk past him with firewood in hand to my house for my mom who was too ill to even sit up! I take a deep breath and begin to speed walk past him however he seems to notice me and he grabs my right arm tightly spinning me around to face him.
"Yes?" I ask him politely, He smirks at me with the world's dirtiest most shit eating grin I ever saw
"Yer very pretty miss I want to keep you..." He slurred from the moment he opened his mouth the stench of alcohol seeped from him such a strong foul odor disgusted me but I still smiled and replied,
"Thank you sir but I'm going to decline that offer for I must take care of my ill mother now if you'll excuse me." I grab his hand and rip it off me roughly while I give the biggest smile I can give and I walk off with my house in sight but something's off... for one thing the door was slightly cracked open. Alarm bells ring all through my body but before I can get a chance to even investigate I hear a yell from the distance I recognize the voice. But before I can pull out my dagger the drunk man from before has me pinned to walls of my cabin home Panic filled in his eyes as he rambles,
"Lady, this is your home?! Don't Go in! Leave at once please I beg of you! You must leave before he finds you!" I struggle to break free from his grip he has both my arms pinned against the wall, his grip 10x stronger than before.
"Let... Go! Let go please!" I yell at him as I try to slip out of his grip, finally after minutes of struggling he lets me go and runs for the hills faster that a rabbit.
"Hey! Wait up! Explain yourself,you fuck!" I yell throwing my Iron dagger towards his direction however he was long gone and I was left stunned and confused. However there was still a matter to Solve, I turn around and pick up the logs on the ground and head into my house which was oddly silent the fire from this morning was still warm and everything was still in place so I didn't see much for concern,
"Mom! I'm Home!" I shout out, but no response which alarmed me since my mom always responded ...always. I walk up the stairs towards my moms room to see the door closed which was also another odd sign.
"M...mom?" I step slowly to her room, afterall she may be asleep? At Least that's what I was telling myself as I slowly crept towards her room. After what seemed like forever I finally reached her room I knock gently on the wooden door twice.
"Mom?" I use my left hand and reach for the door knob and gently began turning it slowly. I gently push the door open,
"HUH?!" I jolt back at what I see my mom lying in her bed with a pool of blood all around her and some of the blood dripping from her bed onto the floor.
"M...Mom!" I yell as I rush to her side and hug onto her when I notice a sword sticking out of her chest and not just any sword... An Imperial Sword. I grabbed the sword and take it out of my mom and I let it fall to the ground with a loud clanking sound as I hug onto my mother's dead body and sob violently and loudly. I stroke my mothers golden blonde hair out of her face and close her gentle grayish blue eyes close to make her look peaceful, I continuously stroke her cheek gently and sob so much so I didn't realize someone was behind me.
"Such a sad sight a young child at her dead mother's side... too bad you can't avenge her." A deep voice said behind me I freeze up, My mother's killer is behind me and I have nothing to defend myself against him!
"Get up from the floor stupid girl!" The voice commanded me, I slowly stand to my feet then I turn towards the man with all my force and tackle him to the ground I snarl and growl at him, My hands wrapped around his neck as I continuously smash the back of his head against the wooden floor, His skin tone was quite dark even for an imperial, his eyes bright blue with a black scraggly beard not too short yet not too long. He wore armor I did not recognize, Black leather plating over a red cloth shirt, in the middle of the black leather plating was a triangle with red within it and an unknown symbol in the triangle. I snarl at him more Before punching his face as hard as I could, He hollers out in pain and I punch his face again his nose is now bleeding and his left eye shut tightly in pain.
"Do you yield?!" I holler in his face, My hands gripping his arms to the floor so tightly Im drawing his blood. His face scrunched up in fear, he was a young stupid coward let alone he was some sort of guard.
"Do not make me ask again Asswipe! Do. You. Yield?!" I scream the last part closely at his face before I can manage to swing my Fist in his face,
"Guards! Help!" He screams out towards the door to the hall. I gulp, He's got back up. After he yelled out two guards wearing the same armor charge out from the hall and tackle me to the ground. I kick and I snarl at the guards who were unfazed by me, soon I hear clapping from the hall only to see another one the guards walking slowly towards their what I presumed was their leader of sorts who was on the ground in pain from the beating I gave him. The guard stopped clapping and helped up the cowardly "Leader" and walk towards me and inspected me. The Man was a lot paler than the other guard his hair was black as well medium length hair for a man and semi thick goatee. I pant and pant I was wore out and was now officially at their mercy.
"You gave my son quite the beating you little bitch." The pale man said as he looked back at the darker skinned man. Shit that was his fucking son? So then the leader must be this sack of shit! I sigh in defeat.
"Oi... Look at me when I speak to you, Slut!" The man snapped I look up at him with the most pissed off face I can come up with. I soon find myself gaining courage I never knew I had,
"Your ... Name..." I breath out "What is you and your son's name?" I ask the man stares at me before grinning and responding
"Commander Maro and My son's name is Gaius Maro why do you ask?"
"So I can find you later on in life ... and avenge my mother..." I growl in all seriousness Maro simply laughs at me.
"Challenge accepted... but I doubt you'd survive long enough to find me..." He turns and heads for the door but before he reaches the frame of the door he says one final thing "Guards take this stupid little whore to the imperials and say she's a spy for the stormcloaks..." and with that he left and Gaius got up from the corner and punched my lights out that was how I ended up here on this carriage heading to my doomed fate to soon join my mother in sovngarde.
