Dear Diary

Arnbjorn ,Serana and I found Dexion the Moth Priest.

Oh,it was awful in the place he was held .

There were many Vampires and Death hounds . I was afraid of those dogs more than I was afraid of their Masters .

Arnbjorn reckons it's because of the one that bit me almost a month ago .

Serana on the other hand thinks I'm an attention seeker . She had become less friendly lately . I'm afraid that she'll hurt me one of these days when Arnbjorn isn't looking .

I hope she never gets the chance .

We'll be starting to look for her mother soon . I don't want to go back to that Castle . I don't want to end up in Harkon's clutches again .

Cari closes her Diary putting away her quill and ink along with it inside her satchel.

She yawns and stretch feeling the tiredness in her joints . This much exercise was still so unknown to her . She was slowly becoming used to the riding and sometimes walking  ,but she still got tired mostly .

She looks up at where Arnbjorn busied himself with cooking  rabbit stew . She had wanted to help him ,but he just declined it .

Her eyes wanders to the Vampire in their mids . She hadn't spoken much today and Cari was sure she'd found her glaring at her when Arnbjorn wasn't looking.

She didn't like that orange eyes on her . It made her feel afraid even if Arnbjorn was holding her .

Thinking of eyes she starts humming a song from home . She didn't really love the song ,but she didn't hate it either .  It was called Eye of the Tiger and she only remembered because she used to have to sit through the movies her brother watched on TV . One of the movies was Rocky .

She didn't know much of the words ,but she knew the music .

Inside her mind some of the words resounded .

"It's the eye of the tiger ,it's the thrill of the fight ....."

She kept humming as she let her eyes roam to Dexion ,who sat reading a book Arnbjorn had lent him .

His nose were buried  so deep inside the book that she was almost afraid that he'd never get it out of there .

She smiled at that thought. Not because she was being malicious ,but because she herself liked to read .

Thinking of reading she reminds herself that Arnbjorn had given her two books to read that he had bought for her from a Khajit Caravan on the road to Dragon's Bridge.

Reaching inside her satchel ,she pulls out one of those books and starts reading while absentmindedly humming her song .

         ***"""***"""***
Arnbjorn watched his little Love as she read through one of the two books he had bought her .

He listened to her faint humming . The song was unknown to him ,but it sounded upbeat and  alive causing him to want to dance  for some reason .

He shook his head amused at how such a simple song could make him feel that way.

His eyes softens when he once again looks at the girl who held his heart in her small delicate hands.

She was so child-like sometimes and he knew she was afraid of the Death Hounds  that always came with the Vampires when the Vampires attacked them . He wished he could help her with that fear .
