She's Darkness

Let it Burn

I knew it Cicero Warned me. By Sithis please let my family be alright. I quickly got off shadow almost falling to my face then ran as I stabed a few agents and stopped.

"Ethan...Festes..."

I stabbed a guy who ran at me. I clenched my fist and ran in. I slaughtered a few agents then helped kill some people attacking Ajborn. He died I slaughtered the rest then stabbed Nazari attacker. He turned to me.

I was zoned out as he stated he knew I was innocent then we went off killing others. Listener embrace me. I quickly ran to her coffin has it closed. Sleep. I drifted into darkness.

***

"Hurry up Nazari I know she's in their!"

"I don't see—-you helping——stupid she-Devil!"

Then a crash. Speak with Astrid hear in the brotherhood. I then turned as they asked me to slow down.

"Astrid is hear follow me!"

I ran forward with them behind me. Then a charred Astrid spoke and told me of how she was the black sacrament. I was then told to kill her. I picked up the Blade of Woe then stabbed her.

"Thank you...."

I then walked to mothers coffin.

"Mother....."

Go to white run and speak with amound montuer and Kill the Emperor.

"Okay mother."

I turned and told Nazari. Then he stated him and Babette were moving. I smiled and left. 

***

I got back from the emperor, then went to our new home. After I told Naz about it and we got 20,000.

"Mother..."

She chuckled then gave me a contract. I smiled an went out then saw Cicero.

"Cicero as come to kill the listener...Cicero should be listener!"

My eyes widened as I hit the back of the door and stayed their his ebony blade to my neck.

"Sike!"

He sheathed his blade as he pulled me around as we danced.

"Cicero would never harm dear Thorn~"

I grinned as he dipped me I chuckled.

"Where is Thorn going?"

I giggled as he pulled me up.

"To Riften Thieves guild."

He paused then pulled me to press against him.

"Let's go."

I blinked surprised at his serious tone I then giggled. 

"What of mother?"

He then dragged me in. I laughed as we walked in Then began to clean up an oil mother. I giggled as I went to go chat with Babette.

"Hey their Ms V."

She chuckled as she showed me her latest poison.

"Ooo."

I grinned.

"Ah that reminds me...Babette do you know of Ariels Bow."

Her eyes widened as I sat across from her.

"Sister...yes yes I do."

"Please tell me, how do I retrieve it. I know where it is but...my home land is lost."

She gave a smile.

"You need to find a woman named Seranna she's in a gave east of Moulage Boul."

I did a curt nod.

"Thank you, after I help you guys out that's where I'm going so don't freak out if I'm gone for a bit."

She nodded as Cicero walked over with a grin.

"Thorn~lets go!"

I grinned and nodded.

"See yeah later V."

**Im lazy**

"Thanks Delvin!"

He did a cheeky grin as I left with Cicero.

"Cicero never understood thieves really...take someone's things without killing them..."

I hummed.

"I never really thought of it like that..."

He did a cat grin as we both got on Shadow. We set out in a trot.

"Cicero I have a question.."

He hummed leaning into my shoulder.

"I-I'm going to find Ariels bow...do you want to come with me?"

He paused an just stared at me before grinning.

"Cicero would be honored to accompany Thorn~"

I grinned under my mask an nodded.

"Alright then Shadow we need to go to my house in Falkreath."

Shadow huffed I've been their with him so many times I'm sure he knows exactly where we're going. Most of the time was jokes an idle chatter. It was quite fun with Cicero around an I loved that. We did make it home around midnight. Shadow went to the hay stack and ate some while I walked inside my house.

"Honored to see you again my Thane."

I smiled at Rayya she then went off to bed. Our bard was passed out on the entry bed while Gegor next to her. My steward asleep in her own an the wagon driver up top asleep in his own bed. I walked to my armory an shut the doors.

"Cicero I have a gift for you."

He raised a brow.

"The listener as a gift for Cicero?"

I grinned grabbing a full set of Ebony armor along with a one handed sword an shield. He didn't have to use the sword an their were two ebony sacrificial daggers. I grinned as his eyes widened then toppled me in a hug and spun around. I giggled wrapping my arms around him.

"So you like them?"

His grin widened.

"Cicero loves this!"

I giggled again as he began to slip the armor over his jester outfit. I then grabbed my nightingale armor and slipped it on and but my brotherhood armor on the stand. My grin widened as he examined himself.

"Cicero likes this alot."

He mumbled as I shook my head. Then we went to my room as I discarded some Jews then walked up an set empty soul gems in a locked box stashed some treasures down in the basement then walked up.

"Cicero do you want to sleep then go in the morning?"

"Sure thing Thorn!"

I smiled as he seemed more than pleased. I shook my head as we removed our helmets and both passed out.

Sorry for short chapter.
