Okay to one of my reviewers who tried to give me a constructive criticism. I know that on the real world of G. R. R. Martin Brandon cannot be the Lord of Riverlands but this why its is called fanfiction. I wanted Brandon to be alive but i wanted Ned to be the Lord of Winterfell and that was my solution. If you do not like it then I am sorry. No English is not my mother tongue and i am so sorry for the mistakes. After reviews complaining about the grammar and spelling i have revised this chapter and changed it best to my ability. I am sorry for any mistakes that are still left. Is there anyone who would like to be my Beta. Please PM of you can.
Chapter 10:
Cersei was wide awake as sleep was not welcoming her with open arms. Her cheeks hurt with the smile that she wore from the moment her bedchambers door closed. She looked at the man that was asleep next to her and her smile widened. The wedding night has been something she will never forget. The moment that she was carried off to her bedchamber by a group of men who were taking her clothes seemed like a nightmare to her. She was being undressed by men that she did not know. She was thankful that Brandon was there and did not let them take her shift off. Everyone was scared of him and he was the one that carried her to her wedding bed and put. He looked at her and smiled lightly.
"Do not worry sister, I will tell them to go away. This needs to be private." He said and she could only nod. Just seconds after the door closed after Brandon Ned came into the room with nothing but his breaches. She sat up in the bed and looked at the man in awe. He stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do. Cersei could not take it anymore. She stood from the bed right in front of him and kissed him.
From that moment she felt like she was in a dream. He was gentle with her making sure she was taken care of. She was not a maiden what so ever but with Ned she felt something she never felt with Jamie. It was more powerful. It was consuming her and she loved every second of it.
She closed eyes once more and imagined how his calloused hands felt on her body making her whole skin rise in goosebumps, how his kisses set her on fire. How his mouth did something Jamie never did and kissed her down there. She was getting hot again and she wanted to wake Ned up but when she looked at him he was already awake looking at her with his eyes that drove her mad.
"Why are you not asleep Cersei?" He rasped out and turned towards her and put his hand on her hip.
"I cannot fall asleep Ned, i experienced too much excitement tonight i believe." She said and Ned chuckled. She was beginning to love that sound more and more every time she heard it.
"It seemed that i did not tire you enough. Maybe i should do something about that." Ned said and kissed her. Cersei's body became alive again and was consumed with fire. She felt Ned on top if her and relished in the feeling of his naked body. She moaned softly into the kiss. His hand found their way into her locks before moving down her body when a hard knock on the door fallowed by shouts broke the spell that they were under.
Ned jumped off the bed and put on his breaches and took his sword. When he opened the door he saw men running around and shouting about an attack in the courtyard. Ned asked one of the men tat came running by his bedchamber.
"What in the seven hells is going on?" he asked his voice hard and cold.
"There was an attack My Lord, people in black hood are attacking the castle, there is a big fire in the courtyard, we need every man now to stand with us." The man said before he ran to the place they needed stood there rooted to the ground shocked for a couple of moment. Who dares to attack the castle at this moment. There was no time for this now so he went back to his bedchamber and put on his clothes.
"What is going on Ned? What is all this shouting about?" Cersei asked from the bed withthe bed sheets covering her.
"Someone is attacking the castle. Put your clothes on i will take you to Brandon's bedchamber. They have more guard and you will be safe there." Ned said and Cersei nodded and jumped off the bed quickly. She put on the dress that was easy to put on and did not even do her hair. They were out of the bedchamber as soon as they could and they ran toward Brandon's bedchamber which was not far away from them. When they opened the door Brandon was holding their son and kissed his forehead with his hand in his son curly red locks. Catelyn stood there with her hand covering her mouth as tears rolled down her eyes. Brandon looked at them both.
"It is good that you brought her here, Cersei will be safer and they will be together.." Brandon said putting his son back to his cot and kissing his sobbing wife. Cersei just tightened her grip on Ned's hand and made him look at her.
"Be safe my love and come back to me please." She said and Ned nodded and kissed her lips. She did not let her tears fall. She had to be strong for Catelyn and her. Brandon looked at his guards
"You are guarding my family in this bedchamber. Anything happens to them i can assure you that your fate will be worse than death." he said and Ned just have them a death glare before running into direction of the battle.
Cercei looked at Catelyn who had gone pale in the face standing over a pool of water. For the first time in her life Cersei cursed.
"Oh fuck." as Catelyn tried not to scream.
Ned ran with Brandon to the courtyard where fire lit up the the dark night. They could see strange men wearing hood attacking men that guarded the castle. They Stark brothers looked at each other and began fighting as well. Ned had just killed one of the men when he saw the King fighting not far away from him with no one from his guard around him. He looked at Brandon who saw the same thing and both decided to move closer to the King. They needed to protect him. The men seem to come from no where and they were everywhere.
"Ned one behind you." Brandon shouted and Ned turned around just in time to cut the hooded mans head.
"Brandon we have to get the King out of here now. There are to many of them." Ned shouted but the King was no having it.
"I am not leaving this place. I will not sit in a castle while my men are dying. If i have to i will die with them." The King shouted and stuck a sword in one mans chest. Brandon just shook his head at the Kings bravery and foolishness.
Queen Mother was sitting in he bed her hands on her belly trying to calm down the child that was raging inside of her. Her back hurt so badly that she had to take a sharp intake of air. Viserys was sitting beside his mother with his wooden sword tightly gripped in his hands. Rhaella looked at her Little Dragon and pride swelled with. Her little boy was so young and yet he showed his bravery by wanting to protect her. She was so glad that none of her children were like Aerys.
"Mother do not worry I will protect you. I will keep you and the the babe safe." He said and looked at her. His little head was held up high. All Rhaella wanted to do was to embrace her little boy and keep him away from harm.
"Come here my Little Dragon i need to have you in my arms to feel safe." She said and her little boy just nodded and hugged her close . He was shaking yet he did not show that he was scared at all.
"My brother will save us I know it." the little boy said and Rhaella just hugged him closer.
"I know he will my Little Dragon. I know he will." She said trying very hard to believe that.
The door to their bedchamber opened with a bang scaring both of them. A man with a black hood came to the room with a sword that was red from blood. They saw nothing of his face but black eyes and an ugly smile that widened when he looked at them.
"Well well well what have we got here. Two dragons or i should say three counting the unborn one. This is a good day for me. I can kill all three of you." He said and it send shivers down Rhaella's back. How can she save them when she can barely get out of bed. They were doomed. She hugged her son closer to her and began to pray but before she knew it Viserys slipped out of her grasp and ran at the man with his wooden sword.
"Viserys no!" A desperate Rhaella screamed and tried to get out of bed but in her state it was very hard.
"You will not hurt my mother and her baby." He said pointing the sword at him. The man just laughed cruelly leaning his head back.
"You think you can beat me with that wooden sword of yours Little Dragon." He said looking down at the little boy before grabbing him by his hair.
"Please do not hurt my son. Please he is just a child. I will do anything just please do not hurt him." Rhaella begged the man who just had a cruel smile on his face. He made her son turn to look at her. He was crying now his wooden sword on the floor.
"What can you give me you woman. Nothing. All i want is to kill Targaryen scum." he said and put a dagger to the little boy's thoat, Rhaella's eyes bulged and her heart stopped beating.
"No no no please do not do this. He is just a child. What harm can he do?" She begged her eyes looking at the dagger. Her belly hurt now and she felt a sharp pain go through her.
"Then he will grow up and be like the rest of you degenerates, being wed to his own sister. I will rip that babe out of you as well just to be sure." he said and slit Viserys throat. Rhaella screamed as she watched the blood pour out of her little boy and the light dim in his eyes. The man threw Viserys on the floor with his eyes opened in terror. He then stepped over her son and lunged at her. He pushed her against the wall. Hard. Her back hurt badly yest she could not care less. She did not care what the man did to her now. She had died along with her son.
"I guess i can play with you before i kill you." he said cutting the night gown making it fall to the ground an revealing her body to him. She could feel his eyes on her eating her up his breath hitched as he took her all in.
He grabbed her breast hard in his hand and began kneading it while giving a disgusting moan. He then looked at her face which was turned away from him and grabbed it hard and make her look at him. He then kissed her mouth his tongue pushed forcefully in her mouth making her gag and want to vomit. She could feel his hands all over her body. Hos mouth left hers and she chuckled darkly.
"Oh yes i will play with you." he said and pushed her on the bed. She just laid there waiting for his assault. She had no will to fight him off. She waited for him to fuck her and then kill her because she had no desire to live anymore. She waited and waited with her eyes closed but the assault never came. She felt that she was covered with something and when she opened her eyes she could see Jamie Lannister standing over her.
"My Queen we need to get you out of hear now." Jamie Lannister called out to her. She then felt pain in the back and stomach and a sudden urge to push.
"The babe, is coming now." She said and pushed. Jamie looked at her with fear in his eyes.
"What do you want me to do My Queen?" he said and she just looked at him with big eyes and screamed at she pushed.
"Go and get the Maester. Now!" And Jamie ran like he had never ran before.
Ned could not count how many men he killed was covered in their blood. He was keeping close to the King who was fighting like a true warrior. They were wining and the fight should be over soon.
"Your Grace we need to get you inside as soon as we can." Ned could hear Brandon say.
"I will not leave until all the men that attacked my castle are dead." The Dragon said. Ned looked toward the entrance to the castle and saw Robert who was putting on a hood that the men attacking the castle wore. That made Ned freeze in shock. Lyanna! That is who they want to get. Those men were just a distraction to get everyone fighting here and away from her bedchamber so that they could get to her. Ned was about to call the King when he felt a a sharp pain in his thigh and a blow to the head. He watched as men around him were fighting before it all went black.
Lyanna was in her bedchambers pacing back and forth. She could hear various sound from outside and it pained her that she could not go and help. She needed to do something.
"You need to calm down your Grace, it is not well for the babe." Esma said and Lyanna looked at her and nodded. She had just found out that she was with child today but she did not want to spoil her brothers wedding by telling the news so she kept it to herself. She touched her stomach and smiled at it with love.
"I cannot just sit here Esma, it is killing me. I have no news. I do not know if my brothers or my husband are fine." She said before sitting down on the bed.
"Your Grace sometimes no news is good news." Esma said but there were sound of blows and grunts coming from the other side of her door. Esma shrieked and Lyanna came over to her and held the young girl close.
"It will be fine Esma. If needed be use the dagger i gave you." She said gripping her own dagger in her hand. There were more sound coming from outside her door.
"Your Grace you need to hide. I will get them away from here and then you will run." the girls voice trembled when she said that but she had a determined look in her eyes.
"I will not leave you Esma. I am not a coward." Lyanna said and getting ready to strike whoever is at the door.
The door opened and it was one of her guards from Winterfell. His face and armor were covered in blood.
"We need to get you out of here your Grace." The man said but then grunted as someone hit him from from behind. Both girls shrieked and held each other closer. Five men in hoods came into the room. They were all tall and muscular.
"Kill the redhead and do not even leave a mark on the dark haired one." Said a familiar voice that Lyanna knew too well. It was that son of a bitch Robert.
"If you want to kill her you have to go through me." Lyanna said putting Esma behind her ready to guard her with her life if must be. She was not a coward and she will not be defeated without a fight. She could hear Robert laugh as he took his hood off. He approached them slowly.
"This is what i love the most about you Lyanna, your fiery attitude and your willingness to fight like a man. This however will not save your little maids life." He said trying to grab her but she lunged her dagger at him and cut his forearm leaving a big gash.
"Get away from me you bastard. You have no honor. You attack a castle where there are innocent people and you want to kill a child." Lyanna said with venom dripping from her every word.
"I have gave you plenty chances to be with me. Back in Winterfell when i asked you to be my wife and here before the wedding i asked you to run away with me. I did not want to do this yet you pushed me to this. I had no other choice. It is all your fault Lyanna. You have no one to blame but yourself." Robert said and grabbed Lyanna's both hands and held her close to him. She had no chance to move. He looked at her his icy blue eyes that had no warmth to them.
"Now you will see what your actions have caused. Kill the redhead." he said to his people and turned her face so she could watch. One of the men took a dagger and pierced it at her stomach again and again and again. Lyanna screamed and trashed in his arms trying to do something but she could not move. Robert was just to strong for her.
"You are worth less than a dogs shit." She screamed at him with tears in her eyes. Robert just chuckled.
"I will make you love me Lyanna. I will make you see that i am the one for you. Do not worry my sweet. I am a patient man and i can wait." Robert said. Lyanna stopped crying and looked him straight in the eye.
" I will never love you Robert and i will smile when Rhaegar finds you and kills you." Lyanna said and Robert laughed.
"Your husband will have other things to worry about my love. I had my people kill his little brother his mother and the child she is carrying." Robert said with an icy look in his face. Lyanna heart broke at that news and tears rolled from her eyes.
"You are a cruel man Robert and you do not deserve anybody's love. If you think that Brandon and Ned will let you live you are wrong." Lyanna said.
"Who knows maybe they will also die in the fight, now we need to go before someone will find us." Robert said before looking at Lyanna.
"I am so sorry for what i am about to do now my love but it is necessary." He said and Lyanna looked at him with a frown.
"What are..." She did not get to finish because her whole world went black.
Rheagar killed the last man and let him fall to the ground. The sun was coming up and the site before him was one of horror. There were dead bodies and blood everywhere. He looked around at his people who were covered in blood. Some where wounded badly and were held up.
"Check the whole castle and its ground. I want to make sure that everyone is dead. Check for out wounded and make sure that they are getting the best of the best of treatment." He said letting the sword fall from his hand to the floor. He looked at his hands and they were red from blood. He hated the site. He never liked to kill anyone even if they were the enemy. He hated killing and tonight he could not count how many men he killed. That fact lay heavy on his shoulders.
"You Grace the Queen mother, you need to go there." One of the squires said his face ash white. Rhaegar's heart sank right to his stomach. He did not even ask what happened but ran to his mothers bedchamber as fast as his legs let him.
What he saw in that room will forever haunt him for the rest of his life. His little brother age of four on the ground. There was a pool of blood around him and his eyes were opened and Rhaegar knew that he died with fear. His knees buckled at that site and his heart broke. Then he saw his mother on the bed laying in a pool of blood. Her legs spread out and her eyes closes his heart could not break anymore. The Maester was holding a babe that was still connected to his mother and looked at Rhaegar with sad eyes.
"I am so sorry for your loss Your Grace. Your mother before passing away said the babes name. Daenerys." He said showing his a baby girl who looked just like his mother. Rhaegar collapse to the floor bringing his knees to him and crying. He crawled over to his brothers corps and held him close as he wailed. His heart could not take anymore pain.
Brandon heard the news and he was raging with anger and fear. How the hell was his sister missing. He was standing in her bedchamber and all he could see was her young handmaiden on the floor with many puncture wounds and a pool of blood.
"Are you sure that she is missing you oaf." He asked one of the guards. He looked at Brandon with fear in his eyes. Brandon feared that the worst might have happened
"Yes My Lord we have checked the castle and the castle ground thrice and the Queen cannot be found." Brandon heart skipped a beat but he was not giving up. His sister was somewhere. They just needed to find her.
"Then look again you fool. Do you know where you King is." Brandon said and the guard looked at him with sad eyes.
"He is in his mothers bedchambers. Apparently the ones who attacked the castle killed the little Prince and Queen mother." Brandon froze. How can he tell his King that his sister is missing now at this time. Whoever was behind this will pay a great price and Brandon will be the one that will take his life painfully. He pinched the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath. He looked at the man that stood like a fool in front of him.
"Go now look for my sister." He startled the man but he just nodded and ran away. He walked to the Queen Mother's bedchamber and saw the King sitting on the floor and leaning on the bed. He was covered in blood his eyes were red and looking ahead of him. Two bodies were on the floor covered in sheets and two women were handling a babe. This was not a pretty site. Brandon walked over to the King and crouched down next to him. He put his hand on his shoulder and whispered.
"Your Grace, Rhaegar my brother my sister is missing."Rhaegar's eyes shot up to Brandon. He was ready to kill whoever did this to him.
