Jon pov
We had made our way back to Dragonstone, to gather Danny's soldiers.
I could have taken the faster way back, across the kingsroad but I knew how northerns can be. They don't trust strangers. So I would travel with Danny and her army.
We were only a day on the road when Danny came up to me.
"So." She began not sure how to go with her sentence. I hadn't ever seen her this unsure, she was always so confident but now a days she didn't know how to handle me.
"So?" I asked to encourage her to go.
"So, I just have to ask why you didn't took the kingsroad instead of traveling with us?" She finally asked.
I had to laugh a little at that, so this was the big question she was affraid to ask?
"You should know that the northern mens don't trust easily, they had to endure to much from a southern Queen. I just hope that it will make things easier when they see me traveling with you." I said
"Oh, of course." She said and i got the feeling that she had wanted to hear a different answer.
"Danny, you know who my heart belongs to. If this is ..." I began but she interrupted me quickly.
"No, I know you love her. But I had hoped that it would maybe be because of another reason." She said and i couldn't shake the feeling off, that she was disappointed at my answer. In that moment I knew I had gotten myself in deep trouble, trouble that I wasn't even aware of.
"Danny I.., my heart belongs to Rayne. What we had was wonderful but wrong from my side..."
"Oh don't flattern yourself Lord Snow, Yeah it was one amazing night but it was just that, one night. I wasn't talking about that, I rather talked about us becoming friends. I would really like it to have you as a friend, since I don't have many." She interrupted me, again.
I had to laugh embaressed at that, I really didn't see that coming.
"Oh, of course. Yeah I would like that."
"I could give you some advises to really woo her of her feets. Only if you want some female input, of course." She said while trying to keep her laughter in.
"Just let it out" I sighned seeing it was pretty hard for her to hold back the laughter at me being embaressed. With that being said she bellowed out her laughter.

We had made Camp as the night came, I was sitting in a chair in my tent. Thinking. Like always when I got a second to myself.
I thought back at the conversation with Rayne, or my attemp to talk to her, because she wouldn't listen to a word I was saying. I had to get Rayne to listen to me, but how? At Dragonstone she didn't even wanted my help to get back into bed, even though she almost fell because she was still too weakend by her wound and the fever. Her eyes had never stayed long at me and when they did my heart broke over and over again. There was so much hurt and distrust of my betrayal in her eyes. Ser Darvos was right, I had to earn for her to take me back. I didn't know how but I would make sure to get her back in my arms, where she belonged.
I was brought back to reality by someone clearing his throat at the entrance of my tent.
"Enter " I called out to whoever it was. To my suprise Thyrion entered.
"Lord Snow, I have allowed myself to sent a raven to winterfell before our departure from Dragonstone, and now I got an answer." He sayed and waved with a Note.
"I think it has some intersting news for you in it." With that he layed the Note down and got to leave.
"Thank you Lord Hand." I said as he was almost out, he stopped, turned and smiled at me.
"Thyrion, for my friends. I don't like to be reduced to my title, i'm already short enough." He joked.
"Then its Jon for you. Thank you, Thyrion." I laughed.
"You are welcome, jon." He said as he left.
I made my way over to the Note on the table, what I read brought a real smile to my lips.

'Lord Hand, I assure you that all preparations for the arrival of your Queen are finished. Please inform my brother that Rayne had arrived back here, I don't know what happened but she looked rather disturbed so I ask to talk to my brother immediatly after his arrival. -Sansa Stark, Lady of Winterfell-

So she had really gone back, even with the Note saying she was going to winterfell I wasn't completly sure she would. The talk with Sansa and my other siblings about what happened wasn't something I was looking forward to but they had to know. Maybe they were willing to help me with Rayne, I doubted that but hope dies last.

Rayne pov

Dago and me finally made it back to Winterfell. We were welcomed back with open arms. Alina sprang immediatly at me till she noticed that I was injured and still had a fever. She immediatly made me lay down and got a Maester to check me. I was put to bed rest till my fever went down. Dagonet was a little angry at me because I down played my condition on our way back here. Sansa wanted me to take Jons room again, as I refused her she look at me sceptically but didn't say anything.
Sansa, Arya and Rickon came to visit me, they had wanted to know what had happened since i left Winterfell. I would only let them know the important things around the edges. This wasn't about them, so they didn't need to know why I wasn't traveling with Jon. Jon would soon be here anyway so he could tell them what all had happened. The three stark siblings were easy to get off, they told me what had taken place here. That Lord Baelish was sentenced to death because of deception, an Arya had the pleasure to cut his throat open. Alina on the other hand was persistant. She just wouldn't let it go, till I exploded and told her everything. At first she was silent, I was creeped out at that. I hadn't ever saw Alina being so silent, but then she exploded. She was immediatly planing how to get to Jon, she imagined every possible way to rough him up.
"Alina! He is still the King in the north. You can't hurt him just because he was unfaithful to me." I reminded her.
"JUST!? Just because he was unfaithful to you? Listen Rayne, and listen to me good. He hurt my sister, because that is what you are to me, and no one and i mean no one ,King or not, get trough with that." She exploded.
"That so nice of you to say that, I almost shed a tear." I teased her as I whiped an imaginary tear away.
"Alina, I beg of you. Please just let it go, I will clear that up myself, okay?!" I begged her.
"Oh Shut up! I mean it Rayne! Just say the words and he won't know what hit him." She clarified.
"Thanks, that means a lot. If you don't mind I would like to sleep know." I said.
She made her way over to me and kissed my head before she left. I was really touched by how she had reacted. I mean I would have reacted the same way, but to be proven right was making me proud to be her friend. When I was alone the toughts of how I would react to jon getting here came up. How should I welcome him? Should I even be there? Maybe I would just get away that day. I didn't know how I would react to him bringing her here, here where everything was okay when he left. Where he promised to always love me.

The days came and gone pretty quick and the arrival of Jon and his Queen was ecpected for today. I was nervous, I still didn't know how to behave or what to do when they would be here. My wound had healed and the fever was finally gone, Alina promised the Maester that she would make sure I would take it easy for the first time.
"Rayne?" I heard Sansa's voice from behind me when I was walking through the yard.
"Lady Sansa, how are you this fine day?" I asked ironically, knowing she didn't like the fact that the Dragon Queen would stay here.
"I was going to ask you the same question." She laughed.
"You didn't tell us anything about the Queen, since your came back. Whenever the topic of her arised you seemed rather disturbed of it."
"Lady Sansa I don't know anything about this Queen, I only saw her short. I didn't even talk to her or anything. So there is nothing to say." I said and immediatly the picture of Jon kissing his Queen came up again and my heart began to hurt again.
"I see that something has happened, that has to do with her, right? So please tell what it is, I have to know what and who is coming onto us. I see it in your eyes that something has happened so please, tell me" She beggedacht with me.
"Sansa, it's really not my place to talk about. Just know that Jon and I didn't part on good terms." I told her unnerved that she wouldn't let it go.
"What? Why? He loves you." She said shocked
"Thats what I thought too. But your brother might know more then I do. So its best if you talk with him. Now if you excuse me, I want to go to the godswood."
With that I fled from her, not wanting to talk anymore about Jon and his Queen. They would all figure it out when they arive here, anyway.
