Samantha x Vilkas

Meeting Vilkas.

It had been one year since the dragon attack in Helgen. Today was my 18th birthday and I was packing to go and live with my now best friend Aela the Huntress in Whiterun up in Jorrvaskr and officially meet the companions and join them. I met Aela when I first was in Whiterun and I saw her battling a giant I decided to join and she liked my fighting skills and each time I went up to Whiterun her and Farkas would meet me at the Bannered mare and drink over a warm fire and eat and talk about our lives. When I told them I wanted to be a companion they said they would help me get in and Koldak agreed that on my 18th birthday I could officially join them. I finally reach Whiterun and I'm at the steps of jorrvaskr taking in the sight of the upside down ship for a roof and the sheer size of the building.
"Wow..." I say in amazement, " This place is bigger than I imagined!" My hair was up in a ponytail and my bangs were the length of my chin, I felt the cool breeze of the skyrim hit my warm face, and my hair breeze gently with the wind.
" You ready to head inside now?" Farkas asked from behind me, I turn my head and nod to him and we head inside. We reach the quarters of the harbinger, aka Kodlak's room Farkas takes his leave and I walk into the room where I'm greet by two men. One of the men I recognized to be that of Koldak and another man I did not, He had the same war paint on as Farkas his hair color was also the same as Farkas's but much shorter like Hadvars hair. His eyes a very light greyish blue almost white, he had a wolf like face and didnt have as much of facial hair of that of farkas. Something about him was drawing me to simply stare in awe at this gorgeous man, but ai snap out of my thoughts quickly.
"Koldak? Im Edwina..." I say shyly I was trying to get use to the fact that I had to have a new name in whiterun to avoid Commander Maro's Son from finding me. Only Aela and Farkas knew my real name in fact they came up with this fake name for me. That man that closely resembled Farkas Eyed me up and down before scoffing, I put my hands on my hips and eye him up and down all sassy like which only made him scoff louder.
"ahh... Yes Farkas and Aela have told me much about you..."  Koldak Says breaking the tension building between me and this hot stranger. "Pleased to finally meet your acquaintance ,Edwina. This Here is Vilkas, Brother of Farkas he'll be your trainer and Shield Brother on Missions." Those words hit me hard. Farkas's. Brother. My head was swimming with all sorts of thoughts, I begin to sweat a little and my heart starts beating faster,
"Pleased to make your acquaintance, Vilkas!" I slightly shout at his face in nervousness and stick out my hand to shake his, He takes my hand and gives it one rough shake before saying, " Nice to meet you too,Edwina..." In a deep Nordic voice that makes me melt slightly. After Showing me to where I'll be sleeping we make our way to the training grounds where I take a steel sword and begin my training. After an Hour of learning the basics we take a break on the nearby tables and I begin trying to break the ice.
"So... Your the brother of Farkas? That explains why you guys look similar..." I start, Vilkas looks up from the book he's reading and just looks at me slightly irritated.
"Yea..." he responds and then silence between us, once again things were getting awkward so I trying to talk with him again.
"Any advice for me to survive?" He looks at me his eyes piercing and looking me up and down, He sighs before getting up from the chair and going behind me and taking out my ponytail. "Vilkas, What are you doing to my hair?" I ask in shock by what he's doing.
"It needs to be cut... Its too long, It will be a hazard to you as well as a distraction. But don't worry I won't cut it too short..." he says as he takes a steel dagger and chops my hair till it is one inch below my shoulders he then shapes it into a "V" shape so my hair would look weird. He shows me the 10 inches that he cut off my head before going up to the wall of the city and then chucking it over the wall. My back that had been so use to my long hair now felt bare, but at the same time my hair felt good and I loved it I twiddled with my hair for a minute while Vilkas sat and watched me.
"Thank you... you did an amazing job thank you!" I exclaim in excitement. He simply scoffed and headed towards the doors of Jorrvaskr, till he stopped and turned his head slightly to peer one eye at me.
"Your welcome, Welp." He said as he walked into Jorrvaskr, I was caught off guard he had been nice to me this whole time and he even complimented my fighting stance and he just called me a welp?! I fume with anger remembering the time I was called a whelp by Commander Maro.
"Goddamnit! Who the hell does he think he is?!" I shout in anger as I stomp up from my seat and walk onto the training grounds under the light of the moon. "Whelp? Whelp! I'll show him whos a whelp!" I shout towards the sky in anger I don't really understand myself why it angers me that he called me a whelp, I really shouldn't be bothered so much by it. I sigh, and fall harshly to the cold stone ground of whiterun and look up at the moon.
"First day here and you already fell for Vilkas... Too bad I have him wrapped around my finger.." A female voice says from the distance, I sit up and turn around to see a girl with short hair brown hair and semi tan skin leaning against a dummy.
"What? No... You can have him bitch I really don't care." I say bitterly even though deep down I do care even though I just met him.
"Lies... I know you like him... just because he's your Shield Brother in hunts and trainer doesn't mean you have the right to steal him away! Hes mine!" She shouts at me. Soon everyone except for Farkas, Vilkas, Skor, Aela, and Koldak are now watching as me and the girl named Ria yell and swear at each other. Me and her are inches away from each other and I was fuming even more with anger,
"bitch, your crazy and stupid if you really believe that... I just got here! You can fucking have him!" I shout in anger.
"Lies! You like just admit it! You know you do!" Ria shouts back.
"Will you shut up about that and learn to have a better excuse than that to fight me, You stupid whore!"
"I bet your mother and father abandoned you as a child!"  The moment she says this, something deep within me snaps the same way it snapped when I saw my mother's killer. Time seemed to slow down as I threw my fist up to punch her. Something grabbed my arm, and It wouldnt let go I get violently pulled back and face who had grabbed me and stopped me from beating the shit out of Ria, Vilkas. Aela grabbed ahold of Ria as Vilkas Dragged me off away from the scene, He drags me off to the Skyforge before he abruptly stops and turns around to face me fuming with anger.
"What the hell do you think your doing whelp?!" He shouts in my face.
"She started it she accused me of something false!" I say in my defence. I Sounded like a little kid blaming a sibling,
"Oh? And what was that?!" I panic slightly knowing that if I told him what it was about it would spring up a load of issues, I shake my head.
"Nothing... Vilkas its stupid believe me..." I say in a low tone, he just stares at me before taking a deep breath and losing his grip in my arm, he finally lets my arm go and I quickly rub at where he gripped my arm so tightly.
"Just ... Don't get into anymore fights will ya? It's your first day so Ill cut you some slack but if I catch you trying to attack another shield sister, I will tell Kodlak Deal?!" He snaps at me I nod and he takes another deep breath and looks at the forge that still had hot embers radiating from the coal, I stand next to him in watching the embers.
"Sorry ... Vilkas... I'm sorry I disappointed you today... I... Am truly a monster..." I practically whisper that last part but Vilkas hears me and sighs,
"Your no monster..." He states and I look him in the eyes, they had a soft expression on them that gave me hope and comfort. I feel myself beginning to blush and I look away back onto the embers. Not daring to make eye contact with him, Silence befell us before Vilkas decided to break the silence.
"Training starts at 6:00 am tomorrow... Don't be late whelp..." and with that he takes his leave and Im left alone to ponder my thoughts.
