Satine inhaled the morning air after she woke up at dawn, packing her things as quickly as possible.
She grabbed a horse, strapping her things on the horse. She already sent a raven to her father in King's Landing, telling him to send his men to meet her halfway since she didn't trust the Martells.
She wasn't stopping.
Satine knew that she couldn't and would have to change horses when hers tired. So here she was, disguised as a lowborn with her face and hair covered, only her emerald green eyes to see.
Satine traveled through the small cities as fast as she could. Memories flashing inside of her mind like lightning bolts in the sky.
~Many Years Ago In Lys~
Satine hummed as she jumped on each stone, picking up one foot after the other. She giggled as she almost missed a stone, feeling her heart pound furiously yet somehow calmly in her chest.
She always liked this feeling.
Satine jumped over the smaller stones, she forced her eyes not to look down for she knew that she would get scared and fall. She had to keep training just like Jaime told her to do.
Satine inhaled a deep breath as she closed her eyes, trying not to think about her horrible family that she somehow still loved in the end.
She had to leave that place for she feared that if she stayed then her family history would somehow repeat itself into the image of herself.
Satine grunted a little as she jumped a little further than the other steps. She noticed something white in the corner of her eye and almost fell as she saw a girl with silver hair. She looked so small and had these beautifully colored eyes-
Satine's eyebrows furrowed as she stepped back a little, asking the shy girl, "Who are you? Don't bother lying to me since your features resemble Valyrian and the Targaryens as well."
"I'm not supposed to talk to strangers."
"Neither am I and yet here we are."
"You look familiar-"
"You look like a Targaryen…I've never seen one since the Sack of King's Landing."
"I don't remember what we're supposed to look like I guess. I'm Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen. Who are you?"
"My family is looking for me. So if I tell you then you must promise to never reveal my true identity to anyone."
"I promise. What good will it do for me?"
"That is true...I'm Satine Lannister-"
"You're what a Lannister looks like? Wait, you don't want to be a Lannister?"
Satine shook her head then say on the stones. "No, I don't. I feel horrible since most of my family is proud to be a Lannister. How can I be proud of a family who kills just to gain power and wealth. They choose fear over love everyday...I don't want to be like that, Dany- can I call you that?"
Dany smiles brightly. "I've never had a nickname before. I like it."
"I've never had a Targaryen friend, guess we're both new to this thing, huh?"
"What thing?"
"Friendship. What else?"
Satine shook her head, her curls flying all around her. She hoped that her travel would be safe since she really didn't want to plan another escape. AGAIN!
She found herself at an Inn when she decided to pull her hood over her head to cover most of her face. Satine went inside with her things, going up to the front desk.
"Wha' you want?" The innkeeper said to her.
Satine ignored him as she glanced around the Inn, eavesdropping on a couple of Lannister soldiers. A fat one and a skinny one.
"Did you hear that The Viper's got his teeth into the Great Lion's precious jewel…" The fat one asked.
"Who?!"
"Satine Lannister, the Black Mamba, of course! Who else?!"
His friend, the skinny one laughed. "She's a pretty little thing...no wonder the Viper took her."
"I'd take her everyday," the fat one roared with laughter.
Once their laughter died down, the skinny one said, "I hear that the Lannisters would do anythin' to get their daughter and sister-"
"Well no wonder since it's been so many years since-"
"Oi! I'm talking to you!" The innkeeper barked at her.
Satine shoved a knife to his throat, warning, "it seems this place hasn't changed since the last time that I was here. Don't move."
She moved away from him, walking over to the two men from before Satine smirked at them in a mocking way at the two men "Tell me more about my family. I've been detained for awhile."
Satine gripped the dagger in her hidden pocket where it laid in wait just in case. They looked at each other before turning their leering gazes to her.
"Well-" the skinny one started to say before she slammed her blade into his hand on top of the table.
"Listen very closely, you hog and cricket, I don't have time for games so tell me what I need to know and I'll be on my way back to my horrible little family."
"T-The Lannisters...there is a r-rumor going 'bout that you...you were kidnapped so Lord Tywin is pulling up his armies to attack Dorne, House Martell...b-but the Imp advised him not to since they just ended the war with the Starks-"
"What happened to Robb Stark?"
"They killed him...sewed his beast's head to his body, paradin' it around The Twins on a horse," he explained quietly.
"And the children?"
"Bastard went to the Wall...the t-two little b-boys were burned alive by the Greyjoys...the small girl, Arya, she escaped, but e-everyone thinks she's dead...and Sansa Stark is the wife of your brother, Lord Tyrion," the skinny one responded for the fat one.
Satine growled as she cursed in Valyrian, "Idiots!"
She took the dagger out of his hand, watching as he pulled it to his chest protectively. "You'll keep your lives if you can manage to keep those pretty little mouths of yours shut. Do you understand me?"
They all nodded, even the innkeeper, all still frightened of her. Satine smiled maliciously at them then walked out of Inn. Once she stole one of the horses, she put her things on the stallion before she mounted it, riding away as quickly as possible.
TWO DAYS LATER
Satine's nose scrunched upwards as the horrible smell of The Capital came through her nose once she rode closer into the city. The sun was warm on her face as she came closer to the gates. She pulled off her hood, riding close to the City Watch guards who guarded the Red Keep.
She smiled at them, saying, "I'm Satine Lannister. Tell my father that I'm here."
They gave each other a look before they eyed her. She rolled her eyes then snapped at them, "Well, don't just stand there and keep me waiting. Go. Now!"
The gates opened for her and she immediately thought, home sweet home...It's only for a week, Satine then you can go back to your life in Essos, across the Narrow Sea...only a week.
TBC…
REVIEW, FOLLOW, AND FAVORITE! I am so sorry for the late update, but I've been so busy then lazy...then busy...then lazy again. So now Satine's back home and she will be mentioned next chapter, but won't show sadly. You also saw how she met Dany which proved most of your guys' theories of her in Meereen. It's a nice friendship between them honestly. I hoped you liked this chapter.
