Arya was overjoyed to befriend her sister and get to know the Sansa that survived multiple horrible men. Nonetheless the siblings bickering emerged once Arya's wife training begun. Sansa took to her task dutifully and reminded Arya so much of their mother.

There was no saying how angry Jon was with her since he'd avoided her at all costs. So had Gendry.

Arya had spent so many day and nights training to survive. There was nothing delicate to her in her mind, how was she suppose to become a proper lady in one week. Why did she even want to please her brother's whimsical demand.

Why. Why. Why. All this questions were pushing at her fight or flight instincts. So she flew.

In the middle of the night she made her way out of the Red Keep down to the harbor. Arya just stood there having an existential crisis, considering all the events that occurred in the past few days.

Arya walked aimlessly through the harbor and beach until dawn. She headed back to the palace realizing that running away was not something she considered.

Sneaking in the tunnels was easy but the whole keep was buzzing with movement. She tried sneaking through the halls back to her room not sure what was going on.

"Lady Stark!" Someone shouted behind her. Guards were coming up to her. Arya was shocked and pulled out needle. It was impossible to be apart from her sword even now.

The guard shouted, "we found her, we found lady Stark." Arya was holding needle in a battle stance, there were 3 guards, this is gonna be easy, she thought.

There shouts and footsteps from the other side of the hall. Arya needed to eliminate them quickly and find an exit fast.

Arya took her surrounding in and calculated her route, only it wasn't more soldiers coming for her, but Jon and Sansa.

They were running towards her franticly, with worried looks on their faces. Arya was confused, were they running away too?

The guards weren't making a move to attack her. They weren't even looking hostile towards them. So what was going on.

When her siblings finally reached Arya they embraced her painfully hard.

"You idiot," "Where have you been," "We were so worried." Jon and Sansa spewed out senseless sentences at the same time. Apparently they realized she was gone and thought she went missing.

"I went to the harbor," Arya begin to explain. "Couldn't sleep and wanted fresh air."

Sansa was on the verge of tears and Jon looked constipated.

"We thought you left us." Jon whispered. Sansa hugged her tightly again. "Oh, Arya! We were so worried. Everyone was looking for you, Jon was so scared. Lord Baratheon looked white as a sheet."

Sansa spoke really fast frantically explaining how worried they were. "I was so mad with myself, I can't lose you again. I can't lose any of you!"

Sansa's voice broke, she'd look so stoic the past few days and now she reminded Arya of those two little girls making their way to King's landing with their father so many years ago.

Arya's training the past few years taught her to hide her emotions. To be cold and go for the kill. It would be so easy to tell them she was running away, she was leaving them again and never coming back. It would be so easy to kill the connection to her siblings right now.

But Arya wasn't No One. Arya was the daughter of Ned and Catelyn Stark. She was a daughter of the North.

Arya threw herself to Sansa, whose hug was a bittersweet reminder of her mother. "I'm sorry. So sorry. I am scared. I just found you and I don't want to lose you."

She looked at both of them forgetting about the guards still standing there. She allowed her family to see her weakness.

"I don't want to leave and be apart from any of you again!" She let herself fall down to her knees. Jon took sansas place and took hold of her.

"I don't care what you did to survive, you're still my sister and I love you. No matter where you are we will always be together."

Arya snorted and push Jon's shoulder, "you're cheesy as ever." This was so unlike her but it felt so good to finally let her family hold her and know how she felt.

She heard the guards retreating but heard a set of heavy footsteps approach them. "I was about to send for you lord Baratheon."

Sansa quietly told Gendry as he approached.

"No need, I heard everything I needed." He stood in front of the three older Stark children."

Gendry bowed to Jon, "as it's lady Starks wish, we shall not wed. I will go to Storm's End myself and take my place as lord. I will not dishonor House Stark any further." He stood straight again and without really looking at any of them turned to leave.

...

The Red Keep was alive early in the morning. Arya Stark was nowhere to be found and rumors of her disappearance quickly spread.

Everyone feared she'd really runned away. Gendry was terrified. Arya must of freaked out at the idea of actually marrying and becoming a proper wife.

This was all his fault. He needed to find her.

Everyone looked frantically for her. Guards were starting to leave the Keep to look for her in town.

After a while there was a commotion. Apparently Arya was found. Gendry rushed to the location in time to her Arya say she had no desire to leave her family and become a lord's wife. Just as he though.

Gendry wanted nothing else but her and her happiness. The Stark children deserved all the happiness left in Westeros and Gendry was nothing but a bastard born. He would not take Arya's happiness from her.
