Sandor 1
Sandor knew what he had just said was complete and utter bullshit. The little bird was finally in his arms again and he knew there was no way in hell he was going to let her leave his sight anytime soon. She was taller and more buxom, sure, but even her brown hair could not prevent him from recognizing her the moment he saw her. Thank the gods he had arrived when he did, for the look on the clansmen's faces were nothing short of lecherous. Fucking idiots if they thought they could harm his little bird. They'd learn soon enough.
The girl had finally stopped squirming so he forced himself to think what the hell he was going to do. He couldn't just take Stranger and leave. It wasn't that he gave a shit about the clansmen but it would be bad business to get on their wrong side. Milkon had decided to take the Royces and other lords hostage so he thought it would be best to take her directly to him and declare her his own. That shit of a leader liked women much more than was good for him, so he was sure he would just laugh at Sandor's idea of a victory prize. Hmph. Better to head for the main hall after all.
He looked for somewhere to hide while he explained the plan to the girl and quickly caught sight of an alcove just by the stairway. Sandor set her down against the wall and forced her chin up with his hand as he had done countless times before. Tears were streaming down her cheeks, her hair loose around her face. Seven hells, she was even more beautiful than before. Well, that certainly wouldn't make keeping his hands off her any easier. He focused his thoughts on the task at hand before his breeches could become uncomfortable.
"Girl, listen to me. There's no point leaving now, so we're going to do the next best thing. Keep that pretty mouth shut and we might just get through this alive. Don't contradict me and play along with everything I say, you hear?"
Her tears had stopped, but her lips trembled as she searched for something to say. The same red, full lips that still haunted his dreams. She finally managed to stutter out a reply, her eyes strangely still on his face.
"Ye…yes my lord."
My lord. Gods, was she never going to learn?
A/N: First of all, thanks a million for the reviews and favorites! :) Just a quick note: the first chapter was written in a response to a prompt in a comment fic meme, which is why it's so short, and it was only later I decided to write a full fledged story, so I tried to stay true to the initial idea and make the chapters only a bit longer than the initial one. My main intention is to portray the events from both characters point of view so short chapters were best for that. Ok, end of rant, until next time! Once again, thanks for reading!
