Chapter 10: A Fall to Panic *** Myla P.o.V *** I'm walking through the halls of the palace, bored, I wander towards the throne room, to hear yelling. "My lady is over dressed unburden her." When I walk into the hall I see Joffrey and his Kings Guard. Sir Myren steps forward and rips open the back of Sansa's Dress. I walk forward just when Sir Myren grabbed the front of Sansa's dress, prepared to pull the dress from her body. "If you pull that dress from her, I will beat you so bad, you will wish Clegane had got his hands on you instead." I push Sir Myren away and lean down to Sansa. "She is being punished, aunt, for her traitors brother, but if we want him to hear use we will have to be louder...don't hit my aunt." Sir Myren draws his sword and swings it down on Sansa, I throw myself over her and wait for the pain. "What is the meaning of this." I look up to see my brother and Bronn walking into the throne room. "What kind of Knight beats on helpless girls." "The kind who serve his King imp." "Careful, now, we don't want to get blood all over your pretty white cloak." Bronn reaches down to me and pulls me away from Sansa and slightly behind him. Once I am out of the way, everyone has a clear view of Sansa's current state, its my brother Tyrion who speaks out. "Someone get the girl something to cover herself with, she is to be your queen, do you have no regards for her honor." "I'm punishing her." "For what crime, she did not fight her brothers battle, you half-wit." "You cant talk to me like that, The King can do as he likes." "The Mad King did as he liked, has your uncle Jaime ever told you what happened to him." After more exchanges of death threats, we leave the hall, Tyrion and Sansa going one way and Me and Bronn walking the other way. "Do you really believe that whores will help my Nephew." "Who knows, wont know till you try." "Why do I have a feeling that this will end badly." "I have no idea, but honestly I don't care, all I care about is fucking you." He grabs the front of my dress and pulls me down a hallway. *** Time Skip *** "Please Myla don't let them send me away." I held a crying Marcella as she grips my skirt. She was binning sent to the Dornish today. And it broke my heart to see such a sweet, joyful girl, frightened and scared. "I wish I could Marcella, I wish I could take you and hide you in my rooms where we will read and play games, but my sweet love there is nothing I can do -," I pull her from my skirts and wipe her cheeks dry, " - I will try and visit you as much as I can, I promise." She sniffles, "You promise." "Yes, my love I promise." I give her a big huge and walk her to the row boat, Once she is safely in the boat, I make my way to stand next to my sister, watching as the row boat takes a crying Marcella away. "One day I pray you love someone, I pray you love her so much, when you close your eyes you see her face -," I look at Cersei her eyes always on Marcella but her angered words where aimed towards Tyrion, I take her arm in mine, and she grips me tightly, "- I want that for you, I want you to know what its like to love someone, to truly love someone, before I take her from you." Tyrion turns and looks at her, not saying a word, he stands there for a moment before turning and walking away. Slowly all of the royal party begins to walk away. I walk with mys sister, when we start to hear the people start to shout. "Myla -," I turn around to see Tyrion beakening me over to him, letting go of my sisters arm, I make my way over to him, "- stay close to me, do you understand." "Yes." No sooner after I said that did someone throw a cow pie at Joffrey. The people broke out into a riot, Tyrion grabbed a handful of my dress and pull me along with him and two guards that where protecting use. I keep my eyes on the back of the red cloak in front of me, resisting the urge to turn my head to the sounds of screams around use. "Where's Sansa." We all make our way into a building as quickly as possible, as soon as we enter I see Joffrey and my sister, Tommen was taken back to the keep, and me and Tyrion are safe, but Sansa was no where to be seen. As Tyrion and Joffrey argue, I start to panic, thinking of what could happen to Sansa out there in the riot, I only become more distressed when Tyrion yells at Joffrey that we may not get Jaime back without her. As soon as I relive no one will go out looking for Sansa, I slowly start to make my way to the door, deciding that I will find her, not just because we have a chance to get Jaime back with her but because I know what happens to women when a riot breaks out, and someone so young and naive to everything should not have to suffer the trauma of being rapped, especially when her red flower has yet to even bloom. I barely make it to the door when a hand grabs a hold of me and pulls me back. I turn around to see Clegane looking down at me. "Don't even think about it little lion." I just look at him for a moment before I speak, "Don't think what." "You want to go out there and find the little bird, but its to dangerous for you, they would rip you to shreds, I will go and find her." With that he leaves the safety of the building to go look for Sansa, I speak out telling him 'Thank You'. But he doesn't show any sign that he heard me, he just continues on like I never said anything. *** Tyrion P.o.V *** I stand pacing trying to get someone to go and find the Stark Girl. Joffrey and Cersei sit in a corner talking, the Hound is no where to be found, guards and maids are running about and Myla is sitting in front of me, her hands clamped together in her lap and her head slightly bowed, it looks like she is praying. That's when the doors open and the Hound walks in carrying someone, Myla jumps to her feet and moves aside so that the hound can place the person down, That's when I notice its the Stark girl. "Are you hurt my lady." "The little bird is bleeding, someone take her back to her cage." Myla instrugs the hand maidens that made it to safety, to take Sansa to her room. Myla looks as if she was going to follow, but was called by our sister. With reluctance Myla turns away from Sansa and walks over to Cersei and Joffrey. I turn to the hound, "Well done Clegane." "I didn't do it for you." I see him glance across the room and I look as well to see Myla standing with her back to use. My eyes slightly widen at realizing what he meant, I turn back to him only to find that he was already gone. "Is there anyone in King's Landing that doesn't love my sister." ***Sandor P.o.V*** I walk down the hall doing my duty when the little bird walks past me, "I beg pardon, sir." I stop and turn around so that I am facing the little bird. "I should have come to you after to thank you for saving me, you were so brave." "Brave, a dog doesn't need courage to chase off rats." "Does it give you joy to scare people." "No it gives me joy to kill people, spare me, you cant tell me Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell never killed a man." "It was his duty he didn't enjoy it." "Is that what he told you, he lied, killing is the sweetest thing there is." "Why are you always so hateful." "You'll be glad of the hateful things I do someday when your queen and I'm all that stands between you and your beloved king." "Sansa." Both me and the little bird turn to see the little lion walking towards us. "Myla..." "My sister would like to speak with you in the throne room Sansa." The little bird nods and flys away, leaving me and the little lion, "Do you think me hateful little lion." "Yes-," she turns toward me the sun light reflecting off her pinned up black hair and her gold and white dress, the dress is her usual style, long and slightly puffed out, her neck bare for everyone to see, and her sleeves are held together by crystal rings, which reflect the light, making her look more like an angel then the little lion, "- but unlike your little bird I appreciate it, I know the true evil of this god forsaken place -," she glances around the hall before looking back at me, "- and I know one day it will try and bring me down, that is just how things are played here, Sansa thinks Joffrey is Evil, and he is don't get me wrong the things he can do to that girl could be monstrous, but there are people who play in the shadows who could do things far worse, I just hope when that time comes I am not at the deadly end of your sword, but the ones in the shadows are." She smiles and walk away, "Have a good day Clegane." I watch as she walks away...something is changing the little lion. *** Myla P.o.V*** "Why haven't you come to visit me..." "I have been busy Shae, beginning part of this court is a full time job." "Sure it is the party, the dresses, and fucking a sell sword could be very busy work." "Yes, Yes it could." I laugh as me and Shae walk the halls of the castle, I hadn't visited Shae a lot since we came to the capital but since she was placed in Sansa's service, I have been trying to see her more often. As we make our way to Sansa's room, where Shae would start her work, she fills me in on all the things going on between her and Sansa, and her and Tyrion. We make our way toward Sansa's bed chamber, where I will leave Shae to do her work, when we hear cutting. Looking at each other for a moment we both rush into see what is going on. Walking in we see Sansa cutting up her bed, where there is a blood stain. Shae walks up to her and grabs hold of her arms, "Its alright, give me that.", she takes the knife that Sansa was holding. In a panicked voice Sansa starts to ramble, " If the queen sees I can have Joffrey's children now..." Shae looks at Sansa then at me, "Help use flip it over." I step forward and grab a part of the bed to flip it, when another hand maiden walks in, she sees the stain on the bed and walks away, Shae takes off after her, I turn to Sansa, and she looks so scared, I cant help but feel bad for the poor girl, she hasn't done anything wrong she doesn't deserve this, but then again a lot of people don't deserve what this place does to them. Hearing a clinking sound, I turn to see Clegane standing in the door way. He walks into the room and around the bed, looking down at the stain on the bed. My mind runs a hundred miles a minute, what do we do, what do we say, I know he will go and tell my sister of Sansa's bleeding. After Shae runs back into the room, Clegane walks out and I follow after him. "Please don't tell her, she doesn't need to know, you never saw anything." Clegane continues to walk down the spiral stair case, "I'm sorry little lion, but I have a job to do." "No you...", I don't get to finish my sentence because my vision becomes blurred and I miss a step, my heart beat stops, I am waiting for the fall, when I fell arms around me keeping me up. I open my eyes to see Clegane holding me in place, once I steady my self, he lets go. "Be careful little lion,wouldn't want to hurt the little cubs that are growing inside you." "What, I am not with child." "Oh but you are little lion your breast have swelled, they are reading themselves for children." With that he walked away from me, leaving me more panicked then I have ever felt in my life.
