Chapter 36

Jamie and Marina were shocked when they saw Sansa, and she them. She also seemed embarrassed, clearly the blanket was covering a lack of clothing.

"Sansa!" Marina cried out. "What are you doing here, what happened to you?"

Sansa shuddered and shook her head. "I...Gods, I don't know where to start; what about, what about you guys?"

Marina's face fell and she shuddered. Jamie shook his head; so in shock and dismayed by what he'd seen that he was almost numb.

"Meera, she..." He began to explained. "I found her; she's...she's been raped..."

Sansa gasped in horror; Jamie nodded, clearly not all there. Sansa looked at Marina, biting her lip, afraid to ask.

Marina shuddered again as she answered, her voice shaking. "Lancel is...Joffrey attacked him, to get to me...He stabbed him."

"Joffrey...Gods!?" Sansa gasped in horror.

"What?"

Sansa looked over at the police officer who nodded. "Joffrey is, behind what happened to me too..."

Seeing their shocked expressions she prepared herself, ready to reveal the horrible truth.

Sansa whimpered into her gag as she tugged at her bonds, blushing furiously. She couldn't believe this was happening, one moment she had been enjoying her evening jog, the next she was kidnapped.

She was fearful of her kidnappers intentions; they had knocked her out and when she came to, she was tied up, gagged and, worst of all, stripped almost naked, only her panties stood between her and being naked.

'What do they want, this isn't...Gods, save me...' She thought in desperation. 'They've not, but why, I mean...'

She shuddered and whimpered into the gag again; for some reason, despite humiliating her like this, her captors hadn't touched her, yet.

She soon got her answer as to why however.

"You've gotta be kidding, hot slut with big tits in our possession and we can't even touch her?" One of her captors was saying.

The other then replied. "You know the rules; that's what we were paid for; kidnap and getting her set up...Only Joffrey's allowed to touch her."

That made her shriek into the gag; luckily they ignored her, for surely they had to have heard. She now realized the true horror; this was one of Joffrey's schemes, he was coming here; likely to rape her.

She panicked. 'I can't let that happen I...Brian; he...No, I have to...'

She tried to force herself to think clearly, despite the fear that was clawing away at her insides.

She struggled as valiantly as she could, desperately seeking a way out; in doing so, she inadvertently provided herself with one. Her struggles caused her to bump a nearly table, knocking the vase on top of it off.

She tensed in fear; but heard nothing, her captors somehow hadn't heard. She prayed that her luck would hold and managed to get a hold of one of the smashed vase shards and got to work. It was a tricky process but to her relief, her hands were soon free and she quickly worked on removing her bonds and gag.

'I don't. I don't have any clothes but, but I can't...I have no choice...' She thought in dismay.

While trying to keep her breasts covered she tried the door; it was unlocked. She slipped out of the room and looked around. She had to take a gamble and began to move, noting that her captors were distracted, playing a card game.

Using this to her advantage she moved as quietly as she could until she found a way out. Once outside, despite her embarrassment at being stuck outside in just her panties, she desperately ran, seeking help, until she found a police officer.

"Please, I need help!" She cried out.

He turned, shocked when he saw her and she quickly explained the situation. The officer reacted immediately, getting a blanket from his car to cover her and taking her straight to the hospital; once she gave her name he also contacted her family to inform them of what happened.

Sansa shuddered as she finished telling her storm, it suddenly made horrible sense. Joffrey was behind her kidnapping and planned to come and have his way with her after attacking Lancel, but something had gone wrong in his plan. That was how her captors ended up distracted and how she was able to escape.

"Sansa!"

She turned, startled. But then relief flooded her as she saw her family and Brian approaching. Marina and Jamie were still on edge and she couldn't blame them, for now, Lancel and Meera's families had arrived too.

"What happened?" Jojen asked; the poor boy was white as a sheet.

Jamie shook his head. "I...I don't know, she just...She was raped, I...I..."

She could see the horror in their eyes; in the Lannisters eyes as Marina told them what happened to Lancel. She couldn't understand one thing however; how did Meera's attack fit into this, Joffrey had no real issues with her.

'Unless...' An unpleasant thought struck her. 'Unless it's someone else entirely; and it was just...coincidence it happened on the same day as Joffrey's attacks...'

There mere thought of that scared her, but she let herself be led away to be examined by a doctor; while Jamie, Marina, Brian and the families of their loved ones all waited anxiously for news.

The first piece of good news came when Sansa returned, with a clean bill of health. She thankfully hadn't been harmed much, although was still deeply shaken by the incident. She had been given something for her nerves and was preparing to talk to the police when another doctor arrived.

"Mr. Townley, you're the one who brought Meera Reed in?" He queried.

Jamie looked up at once. "Y-yes...uh, this is her family here."

The doctor took note of the Reeds presence and then spoke. "Ah, well, she is awake now, you can see her but, be careful, she's in a very...fragile state."

At once they all reacted, following the doctor as he took them to Meera. When they entered the hospital room and saw Meera, Jamie bit his lip. He wanted so much to try and help her, but was afraid to even touch her. She smiled when she saw him and some of the tension left her face.

"Jamie..." She whispered; reaching out her hand.

He took and spoke. "It's alright now, you're safe..."

She nodded, looking around and warmly greeting her family, her relief growing stronger by the moment. For a long time they spoke, simply verifying she was okay, but then the question had to be asked.

Howland sighed and then asked. "Meera, what happened to you, how did this, we were only told…?"

Meera swallowed nervously and replied. "I was raped...gang-raped, there, I don't know how many, but, it was Ramsay...him and his...friends."

Jamie froze at that, shocked, as did the Reeds, recalling Ramsay's threatening texts, it seemed he had been more serious than any of them thought.

It wasn't much later that Howland and Jyana approached the officer talking to Sansa, to reveal what had happened to Meera. He immediately called for back-up, more officers arrived and some prepared to talk to Meera, others spoke with Sansa, and some questioned Marina.

While two separate investigations, it was clear that they all had the same goal. Something had to be done to deal with the issues concerning both Joffrey and Ramsay. It was during all this that yet another piece of good news finally reached them.

"Miss Flanders?"

Marina looked up to see a doctor standing there.

"Yes?" She asked nervously; aware Kevan, Dorna, the twins and Janei were all near and could hear.

The doctor then revealed the good news.

"I thought you'd like to know, Lancel Lannister has recovered consciousness, he is asking for you."

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
