Gregor didn't know how long he had been at the party, maybe a good hour had passed and he still hadn't managed to find Althea. He knew she was still here, because he noticed her younger brother with a bunch of girls and her cousin Renly was snogging the face of some guy..., well whatever floats his boat. Pushing away through the crowd, Gregor ignored the look that some of the females were giving him, normally Gregor would of flirted with him, but for some reason he just wanted to find Althea.

Pushing his way back into the large house, he frowned when he noticed Sandor had moved from the kitchen, shrugging his shoulders he made his way up the spiral staircase, maybe Althea had gone to the bathroom? Once on the top floor, Gregor wasn't surprised to find it completely empty, all of the bedroom doors were closed except for one, which was at the far end of the corridor, which was on the right hand side of the the wall, he inhaled a deep breath and made his way to the room. Once by the doorway, he poked his head in the room and noticed Althea sitting on the large bed, her eyes were fixed on the wall and she had a blank look on her face.

"Althea?" He spoke softly, drawing the her attention to him, she had her hair hanging over the right side of her face, covering something. She shot him a weak smile but he could see in his eyes she was distracted, he noticed her phone clutched in her right hand. "Are you alright?" He finally asked stepping into the room and shutting the door behind him, thankfully she had turned the bedroom light on, Gregor could still hear the music from in the garden. He sat down next to her, she didn't say anything for a long moment but Gregor watched her, she was fiddling with her phone in her hands.

"I'm fine...," she said slowly causing Gregor to frown at her, Gregor may not of cared much about girls in the past and their feelings, but something about the way Althea was acting, was telling Gregor that she was anything but fine. "Althea..., I may look stupid, but I'm not..., I know something is wrong now spit it out!" He told her sharply, causing her to frown at him before she looked back to her phone, finally placing it on the bedside table. She tucked a strand of her golden hair behind her ear and nervously looked at him.

"Do you know Ramsay Bolton?" She asked him causing Gregor to frown. Everyone in the school knew Ramsay Bolton, he was a sadistic little fucker, who was known for breaking girls hearts, most people called him a lunatic..., he sure as hell acted like one. He was known around the village for often getting in trouble with the police and often getting into fights and doing drugs. "Everyone knows that freaky little fucker, why'd you ask?" He asked her, causing her to inhale a deep breath before looking at him straight in the eyes, except for her right cheek was still covered by her hair.

"H..He asked me to be his girlfriend..," she said nervously causing Gregor's stomach to clench and for his throat to go dry, the thought of Althea dating Ramsay Snow was making him feel sick, the little fucker didn't deserve someone like Althea. "What did you say?" He finally asked her, dreading the answer, Gregor wasn't stupid even though Ramsay was a horrid bastard, he was still handsome and most people desired him. "I said no...," she said nervously, Gregor looked her straight in the eyes, he felt his heart clench at the sight of fear shining in her own eyes.

"What did he do to you?" Gregor asked seriously, watching as Althea moved her hair behind her ear, showing of a bright red mark on her right cheek, that was fading and turning yellow which would turn into a bruise. Gregor felt his stomach clench and anger start to bubble up in his chest, "he gave me this...," she said weakly quickly looking away from him. So that was why she was scared, that little fucker had hit her just because she was probably the first girl that turned him down.

"That sadistic little fucker," Gregor snapped out causing Althea to quickly turn to him with a nervous look on her face, "he's a man Gregor..., most men would probably do the same." She said weakly which caused Gregor to frown, Gregor knew men did not hit women, it was wrong. Suddenly a sinking feeling hit his stomach, had this happened to her before?

"No Althea, most men would never lay a hand on a woman it just isn't right." Gregor told her causing her to frown at him. "My ex Rast...," she quickly broke off and Gregor felt his heart clench, this had been done to her before! He suddenly pushed himself to his feet, he was going to teach Bolton a lesson! "Where are you going?" She asked urgently, pushing herself to her feet, she turned to him and looked up at him, she only came up to his chest.

"I'm going to teach Bolton a lesson, he'll be fucking sorry for even looking at you when I'm finished with him," he said angrily, feeling his anger building up. He turned to leave but suddenly stopped when he felt Althea grab his hand, "please don't, he's not worth it." She said softly causing Gregor to turn to him, she was looking up to him and pleading with him with her eyes, for the first time Gregor felt his anger slowly start to fade.

"Althea, I don't want you scared because of that little fucker," he told her softly she simply gave him a beautiful smile and stepped closer to him. "I don't feel scared when you are with me," she said softly, Gregor felt his heart clench and his stomach flutter slightly, she was still holding his hand and he stepped closer to her, gently squeezing her hand.

"That's because you don't have to be scared when you're with me," he told her softly.

He looked at her for a long moment, his grey eyes fixed on her blue ones as they watched each other. She softly slipped her hands to simply rest on his chest, not pushing him away just holding him. "Althea..., what do you want?" He whispered softly, his gaze still fixed on her face, she glanced up to him and gave him a shy smile.

"You."
