Cari's Dragonborn

1

It was a boring cold South African winters day in June . Cari   Toerien sat playing  The Elder scrolls five on her brothers old trusty Xbox 360 .

She had a nasty cold ,but didn't want to go rest like her mother told her to . Her brother always says that a cold gets worse when you lay down . She believed that was true because she had experienced that before .

Bundled up in a thick duvet with a cup of hot cocoa for company was all she needed now .

Cari lived with her parents since she had no job because of her boss paying of a lot of his workers three months prior . 

Finding a job again was harder than she had thought .   She had started her search the day after she had been paid off .  She had felt like some failure for not being one of those who got to stay on.

Today she had to cancel an appointment for an interview with someone she knew since she was a child .  She had really been too sick to go . She felt miserable for having to do do that .

A soft sigh escapes her lips as she sends her character to one of the nearby ruins just for fun . Shriekwind Bastion was not really her cup of tea . It was full of Draugr , Vampires and Skeletons to boot . She was so glad she wasn't there in person .
She would have hid herself until the world ended .

She almost screams of frustration when suddenly her character freezes just inside the door of the tomb . She hates it when the game freezes .

" Aw , Come on!", she yells when she gets up to switch off the Xbox
360 .It didn't want to . She really felt sick and didn't need this right now .

She  went  to checked the plug ,plugged into  the wall  just to make sure it wasn't there where the problem was .  It wasn't . With a shrug she decides to switch of the TV and plug out the game console .

" May as well get some rest ", she mutters to herself . " No use in trying to even play any further ".

She pressed the switch on the TV and frowns as nothing happens . Her character is still standing there in all his Dragonborn glory with an ebony axe in his hands . Shrugging again she pulls out all the plugs and freezes in shock when the TV still won't switch off and her character still stands there with his axe .

" No, Peanut's Way ", she says .

Cari hates swearing ,so she always says things like Peanut's Way or Oh my Drumsticks . To people who knows her it wasn't so funny anymore since they have heard her say words like that before .

" This is so not happening ,I probably fell asleep and are dreaming now , yeah that's it ,I'll wake up soon enough and laugh my head off at this ".   Just to make sure she slaps her arm hard and groans at the burning sensation the slap caused .

" Ouch ", she grumbles " I thought nobody can get hurt when they are dreaming ".

She turns away from the TV to go drink some water hoping that when she comes back the screen would be black like it's supposed to . 

She's halfway to the door out of the living room when an odd sound like sparks causes her to whirl around and stare shocked at a round  swirling blue pool of light that had appeared out of nowhere in front of her television screen .

" Oh, dumplings in cinnamon sauce what in the whole wide world is that ?!", she screeches  , hastily turning around to get away from there as quickly as she can ,but suddenly it's like a huge vacuum had been left on  ,sucking everything in the room up including her .

She screams at the top of her voice while trying to grab onto something ,anything that would keep her in the room and not let her be sucked into whatever that swirling pool of light is.
