Chapter 10.

Sansa crept quietly up the long staircase and carefully opened the heavy wood door, she peaked around the door slowly before running to her room and quickly closing the door tightly behind her.

Sansa was relieved to see her room was untouched, which meant no one came to check on her while she was gone.

Sansa turned her lantern up brighter before removing her cloak and dress and placing them aside to be washed.

As Sansa put on her sleeping gown she couldn't help but notice a small amount of blood dripping down the inside of her thigh.

Panicking slightly Sansa ran to her wash basin, poured some water into it and began washing her thighs gently to wash away the blood before crawling into her bed for the night.

The next morning Sansa was relieved to find her linins blood free.

"Good morning milady" a chipper chambermaid smiled.

"Good morning" Sansa replied through a yawn.

The young girl walked around the room collecting the clothes to washed, changing the linins and bringing fresh water for the wash basin.

"Would you like me to brush your hair or help you dress?" she asked happily.

"No thank you, could you please tell my mother and father I will down to break my fast soon?" she asked sleepily.

"Of course milady" she smiled before leaving the room.

Sansa opened her wardrobe and picked out a soft green dress with long, wide sleeves and small roses sewn on the bodice.

Sansa slipped her sleeping gown off and caught a glimpse of the bruises on her thighs.

"Why must I bruise so easily? He was so gentle last night" she thought to herself with a sigh before slipping into the green dress.

Sansa slid on her stockings and boots quickly before going to break her fast with her family, hoping to see Tyrion when she was finished.
