She didn't know where she was ,only that it wasn't somewhere she was supposed to be .

She sat on a high ledge looking down at some kind of building only accessible by some kind of Bone bridge . Something big must've died for it to be built.

Her body ached where Alduin's claw had held her , his grip had been very tight .
Almost crushingly tight .

He'd left her on this small high ledge that was just big enough for his body and took off somewhere .She didn't know where ,she assumed to devour the souls of the dead .

She knew that somehow she needed to escape from this
prison if she was going to have a chance to survive this.

He could come back at any moment and she didn't know if she'd be food .

"Oh ,why in the peanuts did I have to think him beautiful ?, I don't want to become Dragon chow . All I want is to get back to Arnbjorn ."

A sigh escapes her lips as her eyes observes a strange mist moving in , covering most of what she could see a few seconds ago .

She knew what it was , but she'd never thought that she'd ever see it with her own eyes .

The eerily roar of a Dragon startles her somewhat and she begins to search in a panicky way for it .

Something landing heavily behind her causes her to jump up and swing around .

Her eyes widens slightly at the sight of Alduin ,who was only a breath away from her .

She couldn't help but look into those red  eyes of him .

They were mesmerizing like polished rubies .

Closing her eyes she shakes her head hoping to clear it of such thoughts .

His eyes may be beautiful and he may be beautiful ,but he was the World Eater and that meant she was supposed to be scared of him like she'd been scared of Harkon .

" I have brought you something to eat  , Human girl ", he says suddenly causing her to open her eyes and look at him again.

The smell of something appetizing finds its way up into her nostrils ,causing her stomach to growl reminding her that she'd not eaten for a while ,  so she breaks contact with his eyes and look down towards a knapsack .

She wonders briefly where he got it from before she bends down to pick it up .

" T..Thank You ", she whispers,stumbling slightly over her words while looking at him .

He only inclines his head before laying down and she has to scramble to find some space for herself . Her body almost touches his as she sits herself down .

The ledge was really too  small .

She opens the sack to see that there were two pies , a lump of cheese and some bread as well as some other goodies in it .

She starts eating hungrily ,forgetting for a moment that a Dragon lay there beside her , observing her .

She was too hungry to care .

She's too thirsty to care too if the bottles in the knapsack holds alcohol .

She scrunches up her face a little at the taste of the ale and the mead ,but knowing that she won't get anything else to drink she endures and finishes one bottle ,while putting away the other for later .

She felt incredibly exhausted after eating and drinking . That reminded her that she hadn't slept for a lot of hours .

She was afraid to fall asleep, though , so she tries staying awake ,but soon enough her eyes closes and sleep claims her .
