I know it's short but I thought I should update seeing as the drama is starting. Enjoy! :)

As the guards dragged Elyana back to her room, she had some time to contemplate what had just happened and what almost happened. Their grip on her arms were tight enough to leave a mark and Elyana winced as she failed to stand on her own two feet. The speed the guards were walking was too quick for Elyana to get her balance and she stumbled on her way to her father.

"Your father won't be pleased when we tell him where you've been, miss," Benedict laughed.

"I don't care what my father thinks. Not any more." They both gave me a look, a look that said that she'd regret that comment later. She didn't care. They could do their worst but she would have the last laugh.

They slammed the door open where her father sat by the window, his head in his hands. He was angry. Good. When Edwin finally decided to look up, he stared into Elyana's eyes; his way of trying to intimidate her. It wouldn't work this time, he soon found out.

"You've changed, Elyana and not in a good way," Edwin spoke slowly. He was scared now and Elyana could tell. "What is going on with you, eh?"

"We found her at an inn just outside of the city, milord. She was in the company of Ramsay Snow," Duncan smirked waiting for Edwin to announce her punishment.

"He's a Bolton now. Does that please you father? You were the one who asked for him to be legitimised," Elyana snarled. Edwin stood so that he was looking down at Elyana. His cold, blue eyes stared into hers with so much anger that he had to hold himself back, in case he hurt her. He could control his daughter before but now, it seems that she would do anything besides what he asked of her.

"Yes, he's a Bolton but I have no use for him now, do you understand?" Edwin sneered. "Why are you so interested in Ramsay Bolton? You will have so much power when you marry into the Lannister family. Then you can make your family proud and-"

"What if I have the power but I refuse to give you anything? You don't deserve what you have. Stoneclaw deserves better," Elyana yelled; she could feel the anger and frustration coursing through her.

Edwin glared at the small girl in front of him; this time, a few months ago, she would be cowering down from his rage but instead there she stood. Her voice was strong and she was not backing down. Elyana liked to think it was only the promise that Ramsay would send the message that gave her this confidence but she had it deep down inside her. After all, she was a Tiger of Stoneclaw.

Edwin waved his hand at the guards, signalling them to let her go. Elyana looked at her father warily; he couldn't be letting her go, not just like that. There had to be a catch. Elyana soon found out what that catch was as Edwin led the men outside then ordered them to keep Elyana inside and to not let her out, no matter what excuse.

Ramsay strolled through the gardens of King's Landing; he felt somewhat self-righteous as he did so now that he was able to wander about, alongside other lords and ladies with his new name.

He didn't think much of the nobility down in the south, he had that in common with Elyana. He chuckled to himself thinking of her being stuck down here with these pompous fools, who were stuck serving the Lannister pigs. If he didn't feel the need to have her as his own, he would have found it funny to leave her here to marry the Kingslayer.

He surveyed the area around him, looking for someone to be his messenger. He couldn't send Reek to see Tywin Lannister, that would be an embarrassment and he was certain that he wasn't welcome in the Red Keep.

There was a small boy, who looked like he was hiding, by some bushes. Ramsay made sure no one noticed him before going over to talk to the boy. The boy let out a sharp gasp as Ramsay stepped over to him; he was startled, to say the least.

"Y-yes ser?" the small boy whimpered. Ramsay smiled to himself, it was like talking to Reek again.

"Are you able to get into the Red Keep without anyone seeing?" Ramsay whispered. The boy gave a small nod while looking worriedly at Ramsay's face. "Good, see to it that Tywin Lannister gets this message, will you? Oh, and make sure that only Tywin Lannister sees it, do you understand?"

The small boy nodded in understanding then ran off inside the Red Keep, leaving Ramsay wandering around the gardens once more as if nothing had happened.

There was no one word to describe how Tywin Lannister felt when he read the message given to him by a lowly coal boy. He was angry, embarrassed and worst of all, he felt betrayed. He had put his trust in Edwin Westwood, believing that he could get a suitable wife for his son, Jaime. It seems, that Edwin Westwood was no stranger to defiance only this time he messed with the wrong person.

"Father, what is the matter?" Cersei sighed out of annoyance, she had been waiting for her father's attention for a while now and he was still distracted.

"I need a word with Edwin Westwood."

"A Northerner? That is who has your attention, over your own daughter. Why do you waste your time on those animals?" she replied in her usual spiteful tone.

"His daughter was to be married to Jaime," Tywin boomed. Cersei looked uncomfortable at the mention of her brother's marriage and Tywin noticed. "There is a problem."

"What sort of problem?"

"It would seem that his daughter is a bastard."

"And he thought he could make a fool out of us?" Cersei sneered.

"Not for long, I have sent men to bring him to me. I can not be made out to be a fool by marrying my heir to Casterly Rock to a meer bastard," Tywin ranted.

"He's not your only heir though, is he?" Cersei asked, sipping out of a glass of wine.

"Don't start with that. I am not putting you in charge, do you understand me?"

Cersei downed her wine before leaving the room. She had no time to be lectured on the same topic, over and over.

After Elyana was left alone, she decided to just spend her time staring out of the inn window. It was peaceful. The stars shined brightly in the sky and for a split second Elyana forgot that she was no longer in the north. She was brought back to reality by a warm breeze hitting her in the face, making her grimace at the feeling.

The door opened slowly but Elyana didn't move, she ignored everything that was happening. She heard footsteps coming toward her and frowned, she didn't want to be disturbed.

"My lady," the voice said, happily. Elyana swung her head around after hearing the voice.

"Ramsay, you're here," Elyana gasped and stood to hug him. "But how?"

"I distracted the guards for a moment," Ramsay smirked, thinking back to the two guards he led out of the inn a moment ago. He left them in an alley, surrounded by their own blood. Reek was outside, making sure that no one would find them.

"I'm glad, you're here. Have you sent it?" she asked, worried now that Tywin Lannister could possibly know of her status.

"Yes, my dear. The message has been sent. In fact, your father has been ordered to see Tywin immediately so if we are to escape back up north then now is the time."

"Now? But I haven't got a horse."

"You shall join me," Ramsay smirked. "It does not bother me."

"You would travel for a month with me on your horse with you?" Elyana asked quietly.

"Of course, as long as you are brought back home, my lady."

Elyana smiled then hugged Ramsay once more before gathering everything she needed, including her father's dagger that he had left under the bed.
