Location: Hidden tunnel under Red Keep, King's Landing
"We need to hurry Stark, the King won't be fooled by that body forever." Jamie Lannister said quietly, hoping that they aren't caught in the small tunnel they were in.
Brandon Stark, the Wild Wolf, just nodded, his throat a mess of bruises and his eyes bloodshot from lack of air, and sped up to follow the smaller knight of the Kingsguard.
The two made their way through the tunnel in silence before hearing faint noises, they were nearing the tunnel's exit.
"Lann...ister, kill…" Stark whispered hoarsely, breaking the silence, before being cut off.
"I will if he gets worse Stark, I swear on the Seven." Jaime said solemnly, hoping that he could kill the ruler of Westeros.
The Wild Wolf of the North nodded and put his arm out in a show of trust. Jaime looked at it warily before grasping it. Stark smiled widely before pulling the younger man towards him and gripping his shoulder, giving his thanks the only way he could.
When he released the knight, Jaime turned and gestured to the tunnel ahead of them. "Shall we?" he asked his companion, who nodded determinately.
Soon they were at the coast in front of a boat that would take Stark to White Harbor.
"Get home Stark, and don't come back unless you have an army behind you." Jaime said before turning to the captain of the ship. "Get him home, but keep him hidden as we agreed."
"As we agreed Ser Lannister, I will get him to White Harbor." the captain agreed.
The captain's name was Davos. He was a slight man with brown eyes and an ordinary face weathered by the elements. He had a faint beard and his brown hair was thinning, but he seemed healthy enough.
After getting everything ready and the silent man on board, the ship set off, on its way to White Harbor. But before Jaime turned to return to the castle, he saw a man waving at him from the back of the ship. He waved back and snuck back into the Red Keep, going to his chambers to get some rest for the next day. He knew that they wouldn't find out what had happened until it was too late, as a false body had been procured and burned in Stark's place. He slept that night with a smile on his lips, dreaming of a giant Direwolf slaying a dragon.
A/N: And here is another experiment of mine that I wish that I saw more of. Brandon Stark lives! How will that change how things go in the war? Will the death of their father forge a new bond between the three Stark brothers or will Brandon isolate the North after everything happens? Drop a review and follow for more!
