Hush
Drip. Drip. BloodBloodBlood. Dripping blood. Next to you. No screaming, don't scream.
They hear everything. Be silent, be gone, be like back then. Like with FatherHusband. Don't scream.
Everything is silent, they will hear if you scream, so hush.
Crunch. Screech. Crunch. You can hear them shuffle through the snow.
Snow. King Snow. He will come. Samwell said so. You just have to hush. Not a word. Or they will hear.
Crunch. Groan.
NoNoNo. Don't scream, don't cry, be silent. Not you too.
ProtectProtectProtect, stay safe. Silent.
"Gilly?" AlmostHusband. Safe. We are safe now.
"Gilly…What have you done?"
The little one was afraid. Like you. He's no longer afraid. He doesn't even cry anymore.
Hush.
