The days passed slowly as they awaited the inevitable in that time they spoke little and were only visited by Varys, the eunuch wouldn't even look at her. The guards came and pulled them both to their feet and marched them to the great Sept of Baelor Anastasia could hear the crowd as they cheered and yelled. Joffery was riling those up for what he thought would be her head but she knew better it wasn't until they called Ned to the stand that she started to fear, they named him a traitor to the crown and mob below yelled louder.
Ned was forced to his knees and in the sight of gods and men he admitted to treason which she knew was just but Anastasia did not fear for his life Cersei knew that he was too important to kill but too dangerous to keep in the capital, she would have him sentenced to the wall. Anastasia on the other hand would be met with her head on a spike. The only problem with her plan was that she had anticipated that they would try to kill her first before making Ned confess so that he may see what treason did; the difficult part would be trying to get Ned away from the guards as they took him back to the cells.
Anastasia stared at the line there was the queen, Joffery, Sir Ilyn Payne, Princess Myrcella, the high Septor, prince Tommen was absent he was feeling sick and lastly Sansa Stark. Anastasia felt sad that they'd have to leave Ned's daughters behind but she had people around the city ready to move if the time should come when they could safely remove the girls. People threw rotten food and rocks as they booed Ned while he confessed, once he'd finished speaking Joffery silenced the crowd before he put his big ugly foot in his mouth.
It happened so fast Ned's head was on a block while Ilyn Payne unsheathed ice and then it was off, Sansa fell to her knees crying as she watched them hoist her father's head up for the people to see, before Anastasia could comprehend what was happening she was being pulled up the stairs. Anastasia stared down at the crowd she saw as their faces changed people who'd been yelling and screaming for Ned's head had burst into tears to see her in front of them, it filled Anastasia's heart with some warmth to know that when she did die someone may actually weep for her. Anastasia was thrown to her knees it wasn't Joffery but the queen who stood in front of her. "Any last words traitor, before you met the fate of your leader."
Anastasia looked at her straight raising her head. "Oh how the mighty shall fall, Lannister." With those words still fresh in Cersei's ears Anastasia whirled herself around throwing her force behind the blades she hid in her boots, they opened the flesh of her headsmen throat. Anastasia jumped into the crowd, she was lost in a sea of bodies. Cassandra had done well and those who were grateful to her moved themselves in masses sheltering her as she ran through the city streets Anastasia ran through the city streets like she had many a time when was a girl dodging obstacles left right and centre she left the crowd behind, as she headed towards the fishing villages, with one glance behind her she could see people being pushed out of the way for men in gold and red cloaks.
As Anastasia saw the end of the jutting cliff she muttered a prayer. "Not today. Not today. NOT TODAY!" She screamed the last one as she threw herself from the ground, the air swirled around her as she saw the rocks below. She felt the water encompass her as she was swallowed into its depths; she felt the tide crush her as she moved with it and the loss of breath.
Above many looked down at the violent waters as they crashed high against the cliff face and waited but nothing moved or emerged from the dark waters.
Jon Snow didn't know why he had been summoned to the lord commanders chambers, as he entered the crow crowed for corn. "Snow bring me some wine and pour some of yourself to." As Jon brought back the wine and started to sip his own the lord commander continued. "We received a raven in the night, I'm sorry lad. Your father is dead he was accused of treason and beheaded."
"No, he never would have." Jon cried in disbelief. "What did the letter say?"
"You can read it if you like." Mormont searched his desk. "It says that your father and Robert's bastard tried to deny the throne to king Joffery. It says that they were in league together as she had seduced the hand and planned to rule the seven kingdoms. Your father was beheaded before the girl ran and threw herself off of one of the high peaks in King's landing." Jon read the letter over and over again but he couldn't believe that both his father and Anastasia were dead. He spent the night alone in his room, staring at the dagger Anastasia had given him and thinking of how much he would give to have there with him.
