Authors Note- Just so everyone knows that I've decided to begin the story of this character a little differently than the game does it. I've had this idea for a long time and have decided to finally post this story! To warn you all, I do get very busy but I work on the chapters as much as I can every day so I will post them as quick as I can and I will try to make them worth the wait! ^^.

Warning-This story will have cursing in it and probably smut =_=

If anyone has any advice on my grammar I really appreciate it!

I hope you guys enjoy this story! I enjoy righting it! c:

In the village of Rorikstead lived a young girl who longed for adventure. She grew up in the small village with Erik, in fact they've been friends since childhood. Often growing up they would run off far from the village on some imaginative adventure.

They would spend hours laying in the fields looking at the clouds or would spy on the giants making up stories of their own about them. Every day they would dream about life outside the village and what wonders the world had. Sadly, neither of their parents would allow it, for fear that they're children would not return.

One day when they were just children, a strange lot came to the village, people she nor Erik had ever heard of. The Companions. They were a group of warriors that helped people and explored all over Skyrim. The very thought of such a life made them blush with delight.

The two Companions that came were an older man and a young boy who looked their age. It seemed strange to them that such a young boy could be part of a group like that but it also seemed exciting! If he could be an adventure that young why couldn't they when they grew up!?

"Come on Erik, don't be such a baby!?" She waved her arms in the air as she shouted at her friend. "I just don't think it's a good idea…What are they even doing?" He asked while looking at his feet slightly afraid. "I heard my dad talking to my mom about it. Apparently, they're here to take care of a bandit problem." She replied with an excited smile on her face.

"Bandits!?" Erik exclaimed even more worried while he quickly looked up at her with wide eyes. "Don't be such a baby!" She yelled again placing her hands on her hips. For such a young girl, she had a big attitude. "I'm not being a baby, I'm being practical! It's stupid to want to follow them to such a dangerous place while they're doing a dangerous thing! Like fighting bandits!" Erik yelled right back at her as he crossed his arms stubbornly.

She rolled her eyes in response. "It's not like we're going to be fighting with them. We're just going to…watch." She shrugged with a smile. "You mean YOU'RE going to watch! Leave me out of it." With that said, Erik quickly turned on his heels and walked away. She frowned at him as he walked away and stuck her tongue out right at him. "Big baby…And he wants to be an adventurer…" She mumbled to herself as she started to walk down the path.

The two Companions left just a bit ago before she dragged Erik to the path they took. Now she walks down the same path eager to see them in action but also afraid. She knew of the cave that her parents spoke of that the bandits were hiding out in, so she didn't have a problem getting there.

Nope, it wasn't a problem getting there but it was a problem going in. When she finally arrived at the cave she just stood in front of it staring at the entrance. She bit her lip as she examined the inside of it. She could only see so far in it before it got dark and as she stared into the darkness her mind swirled with terrifying thoughts of scary creatures.

She tapped her fingers on her dress rapidly as she was arguing with herself on whether to go in or not. If you don't do this than you'll have to deal with Erik's "I told you so". She frowned at the thought of that and with out any more hesitation went right inside. This isn't so bad… She tried telling herself, but it wasn't working.

As she went deeper into the cave her stomach hurt from the fear. She tried controlling her breathing to calm herself down but it wasn't working. "Hey who are you!?" She jumped at the sudden loud voice but quickly realized that it wasn't directed towards her. It came deeper from the cave and obviously from a bandit. A small smile, full of excitement appeared on her face as she took off towards the end of the cave.

The first one she saw come into view was the young boy. She quickly hid behind a large rock and peeked out to get a good few. Just a bit in front of him was the older man, she examined them both close. The older man's hair was a brown that was beginning to gray along with a beard to match it and the young boy had medium dark brown hair and icy blue eyes. He wore armor that showed off his muscles, as she examined him she couldn't help but blush.

"Who do you think we are?" The older man replied to the bandit with a smile on his face. The bandit looked slightly taken back and looked to the other bandits for answers. "It doesn't matter who they are! Kill them!" One yelled quickly unsheathing a sword.

She quickly gasped and covered her mouth with her hand, watching with wide eyes. She quickly counted the bandits. There are more of the bandits than them and that scared her. They're going to kill them! She covered her mouth with both hands to hide another gasp.

Though she was terrified, the two Companions looked nothing of the sort. In fact, they looked amused with the bandits. She watched them exchange grins and quickly pull out swords of their own. "You can certainly try!" The young boy yelled, showing such bravery. She couldn't help but blush again as she watched them both.

With out another word the bandits quickly charged right at the two Companions and without hesitation, they both met their attackers with equal determination. She watched with wide and amazed eyes as they both fought with such agility and grace. She still couldn't believe a boy, who was her age, could do all of this.

She hugged the rock tightly as she watched more closely, there was no way the bandits had a chance of winning this fight and she couldn't wait to see them defeated. She wondered what they were going to do with the bandits after they defeated them. That question was quickly answered when the young boy's sword went right through a bandit causing blood to splatter everywhere. She gasped and quickly turned covering her eyes. They weren't just going to stop the bandits, they were going to kill them!

She kept her hands over her eyes and rocked back and forth trying to tune out the sounds of swords piercing flesh, but it wasn't working. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't get that image out of her head…All that blood.

"Look out!" She heard the older man yell. A bandit was heading right for the young boy but the boy was faster than the bandit. Right when the bandit lunged at him with his sword drawn the boy quickly spun out of the way making the bandit stumble and fall.

When the bandit fell, he landed right next to her. She gasped quickly looking at him with frightened eyes. The bandit looked up her just as surprised but then looked at her with an idea. She tried getting away but she just wasn't fast enough. The bandit quickly grabbed her arm pulling her from behind the rock and held a blade to her throat.

The two Companions quickly stopped in their tracks and looked at them with shocked but also worried eyes. "Not a step closer or the girl dies!" The bandit yelled making them both stiffen up. The moment he had said that tears began to fall from her eyes. She looked around the cave and saw all the other bandits were killed, all but him.

"Lay down your weapons, nice and easy." The bandit commanded. The two Companions exchanged glances and did what they were told. Her bottom lip started to tremble with fear, she bit it trying to stop, but she just couldn't.

"Hey, look at me." The young boy spoke softly getting her attention. "You're going to be okay." His voice is calm and his smile is sweet. The tears stop and suddenly, she feels okay. She sniffed and then nodded. "Hey! Keep your eyes on me!" Yelled the bandit. The boy glared at him. The bandit began to walk backwards slowly forcing her to walk with him.

"I'm leaving here and if either of you follow me I'll-" He takes a bad step back and ends up loosing his footing causing him to stumble. She sees the opportunity and elbows him in the gut hard, forcing him to let up the sword a little. It's enough for her to duck under and run to the two companions.

In a split second the older man grabs his sword and charges for the bandit before he can regain himself. The boy takes her by the hand and moves her behind him just in case the bandit gets past the older companion. She presses herself up against the boys back and hides her face in him. It's strange when she does though, because even though he just got done fighting, he smelt good.

The two companions walked her back to the village. Even though she knew that the bandits were gone she still held onto the boys hand and stayed close. He didn't mind, he knew she had just been through a lot all of a sudden.

"There you are!" She jumps from the familiar voice. She looks seeing her pregnant mother running towards her. She looked worried but she also looked angry, behind her was her father. She quickly looked down trying to avoid their eyes. "What's the matter with you!" Her mother bent down and quickly took her by the wrist making the young companion let go of her.

"You are in big trouble young lady!" Now her father was there. She looked up at them both not sure what to say. She then looks past them and sees Erik in the background. He's looking down ashamed with his father next to him. She quickly glared at him forcing him to wince and keep his eyes away. "What got it in your head to do something like this!?" Her mother kneels in front of her and forces her to look her in the eyes.

"I just..." She started but stopped because she could feel her throat tighten. No...don't cry...not in front of them... She bit her lip and cleared her throat. "I just wanted to see." Her voice was shaky but she didn't cry. "You could've been hurt! Or worse!" Her mother yelled making her wince. She slightly looked to the side and saw the older companion nudge the younger one. The boy took one last look at her and then walked away with the older companion.

Before the two companions could walk away completely her father thanked them for keeping her safe. They both just smiled at him and nodded, then went back on their way. "Come on, we're going home!" Her mother stood up straight and charged off still holding on to her wrist tightly so that she would walk with her. They both passed Erik and when they did she gave him one nasty glare.

She was forced to go to bed without dinner as punishment and the hours seemed to crawl by. They took her books away, forcing her to just sit in there with her thoughts. It was dark out now and she knew she needed to go to sleep but she just couldn't. She couldn't stop thinking about what had happened today, it was terrifying yet exciting! It only made her dream about her futur more.

A small tap to her window knocked her out of her day dreaming. She sat up and looked at her window waiting. Another tap made her jump, someone was there. She walked over to the window, scooting a chair to it. She got on the chair and then opened the window, when she saw who it was a mean glare formed on her face. "What do you want?" There was venom in her voice.

"I wanted to explain." Erik said as he looked down at the ground and dug into the soil with his shoe. "I don't want to hear it." She quickly looked away from him. "Just give me a chance." He begged while looking back up at her. She sighed and carefully climbed out of her window, she landed flat on her feet.

Erik took her to their usual spot that they always sneak off to. It was about a mile away from the village and it was just a simple large stone that sat next to a stream. They both were sitting on top of it while watching small fish swim by. "I'm sorry." He finally spoke. "You should be." She turned her head away. "I was just worried about you." He looked down at his hands on his lap.

"I was fine." She replied keeping her eyes away from him. "But I didn't know that..." His voice became quiet. "I just didn't want anything to happen to you..." He looked away and down at the ground. He watched a small blue flower move with the breeze. She let out a small sigh and then rested her head on his shoulder making him slightly jump but soon after, he relaxes.

"You were right about it being dangerous." She admitted and that made him smile. "If those companions weren't there, I'd probably be dead." That made Erik stiffen up. The thought of it made his heart drop. "I told you so." He whispered. There it was. She knew he would say that but at the moment, she didn't care. Even though she was here with her best friend she still couldn't stop thinking about it. She wondered what her futur truly held.
