Chapter one- Heart Break.
I remember that night like any other, My stupid naive self,
"Mother please persuade him it's all I ever wanted!" I had cried at her, It's a shame the words stick with me everywhere I go.
'I am so stupid' I tell myself this every single day, as not a single moment goes by that I don't wish I was at Stark castle screaming at my sister, oh how I miss Arya and Bran and Rob, My Mother and my father, More tears flow.
'Arya escaped you can to!' I tell myself I am almost there. my face is very familiar that's why I have covered it in horse shit, I have also cut my long beautiful hair off.
Do you want to know why I am leaving how it started because I tell you now it's not a pleasant story...
I looked in the Mirror, I looked like a proper southern girl, I liked Hell I loved it, I made my way quietly to Joffrey, my heart pounding every step I take, the castle is huge cream stones hold the walls up, with delicate hangings, I stop and look at one, a picture of the Crone, she is carrying a lantern in a forest, 'Whoever painted this is extremely talented'
I finally reach prince Joffrey's chambers, the door is a solid oak and the handles are the most detailed ironwork I have ever seen, I heard voices so I lean against the wall and wait,
I think about my father and how I may be able to persuade Joffrey to release him or send him to the wall at least.
I heard my name through the door, I listen in,
"I hate her! I don't want to marry such a dirty bitch!" It's Joffrey's voice, Joffrey's beautiful voice,
My breath hitches and I look at the silver necklace he recently placed on my neck. I now hated it, I didn't want to wear it anymore, I want to run to my Mother and cry. she's not here.
"WHAT HOW DARE THEY PLAN A WAR ON ME I AM THEIR KING!" I hear Joffrey shout
Probably time for me to go, I tell myself tears line my cheeks, my maid has gone how rude I was to her I wish I wasn't so, she'd rub my back tell me it's ok, I wish she were alive,
But at least there is some good news, the people planning a war must be my Brother Robb, Well at least I hoped it was,
When I reached my room I landed on the double bed and cried, I cried until I fell asleep and when I woke up in the morning I cried some more, that was until a sharp rap on the door brought me back to the sad reality that was my life.
"Sanza!" The voice called, I slid of my bed and opened the door just wide enough that whoever it was would be able to see my face. It was of course the Queen,
'But is she the Queen now that Joffrey is the King' I found myself thinking,
"Oh dear why have you been cryin?" She asked concern lining her voice,
'Fake concern,' My mind corrected I thought quickly anything to get me out of a silly situation, my mind raced,
"I had a nightmare" I blurted, She gave me a look of sympathy, so I opened the door and gave her entrance,
"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked, I mentally face palmed and thought of thingd she would understand. to her it must have looked like I was just shy,
"You can tell me child." She whispered, My head started to spin,
"Arya" I announced,"It was about Arya she died and everyone told me it was my fault" 'Good for a first time lie, ok now something stupid that makes you seem dumb and naive.' I thought,
"And then Joffrey called of the wedding because I was too dumb for him." The tears that fell down my cheeks were genuine not because I was 'In love' with the blond king parce but because I was blinded by his gorgeous blue eyes and his glimmering tan.
Her equally tan hand brushed my tears away, and she smiled,
"Joffrey does not think your ugly child, he never stops talking about you!" she said, 'About how much he hates me' My mind corrected I fake smiled before putting on a teary,
"Really," She nodded and smiled,
"Your father's hearing will be held in half an hour, we would love you to be there." She said, I nodded and she left. I sat on my bed and thought, 'I am getting good at this lying thing!'
Half an hour was up and I found myself standing next to king Joffrey's throne, I looked around the crowds and swear I saw Arya by a tall statue. I wish I could have called out to her, But why should she live like I am.
She looks dirty I noted. Then the booing started, Arya's eyes caught mine for a brief second and she shook her head I looked to the ground and back up, praying she'd understand that I wouldn't give her away, then at the same time our eyes looked away to look up at our fathers, He was thinner and dirty, his eyes were drouping and he needed help to walk, for 20 minutes I started at my father, but snapped out of it when Joffrey mentioned my name, I had to smile, pretend I was happy that the king was mentioning his 'Lady'.
"-She wishes me to be merciful," I zoned out again, then zoned back in,
"But treason can't and will not go unpunished." A brief silence, 'Oh no what's he doing,' I thought,
"I WANT HIS HEAD!" Joffrey shouted, I jumped,
"NO PLEASE NO!" I screamed guards stopped me from running to my father, I saw a glimpse of Arya jump down from the statue.
"NO I BEG OF YOU!" I continued screaming for my father's life. The sword was removed from the executors sheath and held in the air,
"TAKE ME, TAKE ME INSTEAD I BEG OF YOU!" The sword swung down and I saw the head of my beloved father fall and roll on the floor, Before I could think I was on the floor,
"My Lady are you ok?" A males voice asked I looked up, It was the Hound, I nodded and sat up, I was in a bed, that was a start, sure I had slept in it for 2 weeks but my bed was at home with wolfskin quilt lining the top, I felt sick just thinking about running my hand through the grey fur,
"Good I shall leave you be then." The hound left and I rolled over and cried it wasn't fair! I wiped my tears and sat up, There was something I had to do, Leave was definitely one of them. I washed my face in water and decided I would go for a walk look around, find an escape route maybe, unfortunately everywhere I went two guards followed, I would have to turn this into an advantage, we walked for a while before we reached a stairs leading down,
"What's down there?" I asked.
one of the guards grunted, "Er the dragon statues and the dungeons," I gasped,
"I have never seen a Dragon before can I go see." He nodded and I made my way down the stone steps, the room was dusty and clearly neglected, the dragon statues where gorgeous, in this room there was a door and another set of stairs, "where do they go."
"You're not going down there." one guard said, I nodded, 'A possible way out.' I thought.
"we shall take you to the King now, he asked for your presence at this time," I nodded and followed the guards to a side room where the king was waiting,
"Ah my Lady!" He said, "Walk with me," I nodded and followed him out through another door, We walked along a balcony until we reached a bridge going over the city,
I looked up and turned away,
"No" I cried Guards held my arms as not to let me go,
"Look" The King said his eyes getting angry every second I did not oblige,
"LOOK!" He shouted,I blinked away my tears and looked up, My father's head on a stick, Joffrey smirked at my expression and he walked across the bridge,
He pointed out my father's head,
"This is what happens to those who commit treason!" He said angrily, I looked into his eyes,
"I begged you for mercy!" I said my voice going horse,
"I gave him mercy!" He snapped, "It was a clean death was it not!" He added.
"Oh I thought you would also like to see your maid you were so fond of!" He smirked pointing to her head, I screamed and looked away, I looked back up,
"I promise I won't commit treason, Just let me go home!" I begged Pulling out of the grip of the guards,
"My mother says that I am still to marry you. but once my army wins, I will bring you, your brothers head, so it can join our little collection!" He said, I hated him then more than I ever hated anyone I know deep down I should have kept my mouth shut, but I felt cocky.
"Not if he brings me yours!" I hissed, Joffrey's eyes blazed and I looked away, he spoke very very slowly,
"My mother say's a king must never strike his lady! Jarvis" the guard named Jarvis rose his hand and slapped me twice round both cheeks. I looked at the bridge and then the ground below it, 'If I pulled Joffrey now that would kill him, avenging my fathers death and Brauns fall.' I thought I started walking towards him, but was stopped by the Hound, He rubbed some white fabric across my lip and pulled away, Joffrey walked passed us and the Hound whispered, "It'll be easier for you if you just behave how he would like" He murmured, "Here" I said handing it back,
"No no you'll need it more than I will." He said I nodded and followed my guards back to my chambers.
