(Ah I see it's morning, so just say this was last night :P)

The night was young in Riften County. The sun was just barely visible, peeking above the treeline in the forests that surrounded the hold capital. Dusk embraced the world not long after, and if one were to step outside the wooden walls, they would be greeted by the gentle caress of the nights wind. Everything was calm and the soft rustle of the leaves in the breeze made one feel...relaxed.

Riftens glow was like a beacon of hope to the two figures running through the woods. They were so close now. Close to safety. Close to acceptance.

Close to freedom.

The figure in front panted, her head was ringing from the exhaustion as she frantically looked around for the pursuers of her and her friend. She eventually came to a stop, placing sweaty palms on her knees and doubled over, breathing heavily as she felt her heart rate calming down.

"I...I...think we...lo...lost them..." She whispered as her companion approached her, placing a slender hand on her shoulder.

"I wouldn't be so sure." Her Companion replied as the first figure pulled herself to her feet, wiping her auburn hair from her face.

"C'mon." The Companion encouraged, taking the red heads hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze. "We are so close now. Keep moving."

The Red Head nodded, full of determination. "They say anything goes in Riften." She whispered, starting off again, hand in hand with her companion. "That there is a place for everyone within those walls. Even for people like us."

Her Companion grinned. "You do realize it is only probably true if we join the Guild, right?"

The Red Head sighed, the quiet rustiling putting her on edge.

"I figured as much." She muttered, a light flickering beside them getting her attention. She paused, stopping her Companion and sunk low to the forest below.

"Shit, what is it Em?" Her Companion whispered.

Em narrowed her eyes, scanning the direction the light was coming from.

"It's them!" She hissed, panic and anger etching along her face.

"They've found us."

Her Companion groaned, visibly frightened by their predicament.

"Em. Listen to m--" The Companion began before being cut off by the snap of a twig and the blinding flash of several magelight orbs being suspended over them. Em and her companion ere dazed by the magnitued of the lights and stood together, still holding hands.

"No. No. No. Oh no!" Em trembled, watching the forms of several mercenary battlemages slowly surround the couple.

"Heh." One of the Mercenaries sneered, presumably the leader.

"Did you really think you could outrun us when we have been paid so handsomely to track you down and end your blight on this world?"

"W-we'll pay double what you were if you just let us go to Riften!" Em's companion said, stepping forwards bravely.

"Yeah..." The Battlemage replied, smirking as, he too, stepped forwards, drawing his sword in one hand and readying a fireball with the other. "Pity your father will double whatever you can offer." He grinned, motioning to the Companion.

"To think, all of this is cause you got caught sneaking around with the Dunmer over there." He jerked his head back to Em, who fixed the Battlemage with a glare of her own.

Her Companion smiled, blowing a strand of hair from her face as she turned around, placing their hands on Ems shoulders.

"Em..." The Companion whispered, staring into the Dunmers eyes. They were beautiful. Red tinged with the faintest hints of orange...

"It seems our time is up."

Em hung her head, taking her friends hands off her shoulders and holding them in front of her face, gently grazing them with her thumbs.

"S-s-s..." Em stammered, wishing tears would appear in her eyes.

"Shh..." 'S' soothed, freeing one hand to cup Ems' face. "You can get away still. You know how."

Em squeezed her eyes shut, solemnly nodding.

"You've recently drank. It'll be fine. I'll meet you in town."

Em sighed quietly, lifting her face to look at her Companion. "I-I'm not stupid." The Dunmer whispered. "I'm gonna lose you."

'S' sighed too, knowing that she was right. "You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me." The Companion murmured, their voice quivering. "I love you Emarrel. Now fly!"

Emarrel nodded, feeling the fangs protruding from her mouth and her eyes growing brighter. "Sophie...!"

Sophie smiled. It wasn't a happy smile, more a smile of acceptance. Inevitability.

The mercenaries had, had enough and began closing the distance between them and the couple, launching several fireballs at them.

The Dunmer nodded in understanding, returning Sophies smile.

"Go already Em!" Sophie shrieked, throwing herself to the ground as the Dark Elf leapt into the air, leaving a red trail of smoke behind her.

Sophie lay on her back, convulsing and groaning in pain as it took over.

"G-goodbye Emarrel." The Breton whispered. "S-see you soon."

Emarrel flew away, squeaking in panic as Sophies howls and the screams of the Mercs began far below her.

Eventually her power left her and Emarrel crashed into an alley in the city of Riften. She groaned, holding back her emotions whilst she stumbled into the Bee and Barb, throwing herself into a chair. She panted heavily, still looking like a normal citizen of Tamriel. An adventure crawling back after a tough mission...

The Vampire curled into a ball, dozing on the chair, where she still remains...

Additoinal Info: Being a Vampire is tough work in this day and age. Thankfully, she doesnt burst into fire in direct sunlight anymore, must have grown tolerant to it or something. Her nasty more carnal side comes out the longer she goes without blood. When satiated, she is generally very friendly if a little blunt.

(Take a shot for every time I used Companion! I dare you!)
