Modern AU: Arya x Gendry
Something happened. Arya Stark seeks to find out what that exactly was, and where in the world was Gendry.
Please feel free to give me reviews! I really want to improve :)
Chapters will get longer as I continue, I promise! :)
She awoke to slow creeping light in her hospital bed. Around her, people watched her, and in tears, sighed in relief to her awakening. She struggled to recognise the blurred faces, and closed her eyes, searching her mind for a memory.
flashing lights seared across her eyes. People closing in around her, and fear crept into her mouth and left a bitter taste. Screams and a fist piercing through her abdomen. Inaudible words were pasted into her mouth. And as darkness returned, so did an odd comfort to her small heart.
A small whisper broke into her memory, "Arya?" and brought her back to the world again.
Once again, opening her eyes, the searing light burned her eyes, she tried cringing away from the surrounding, unforgiving light.
"Lower the goddamned light to idiots!" scowled a familiar voice. It belonged to her beloved brother, Jon.
"Jon?" whispered Arya, reaching for his hand.
A warm, calloused hand returned her reach. Something familiar. Something safe. And Arya knew, the worst had left her. She struggled to sit up, but as she did, she scanned the faces looking at her in earnest, trying to pinpoint the identities of those in front of her.
Mother, Father, Robb, Theon...Sansa? Even Sansa, who left for King's Landing to dance? Her less than agreeable sister was here worrying about her. Arya then sensed as she began to recognise more faces, that something was very wrong.
Suddenly, fear struck her heart. She knew what was wrong. The memory rushed into her mind and heart, and it tore them apart. Before she knew it, Arya Stark was screaming and struggling in her bed, and a thousand hands tried to stop her from hurting herself.
A single word erupted from her lips, and screamed itself over and over, filling the empty hallways that roamed the hospital.
"GENDRY!"
