I own nothing
Chapter 37
Ok I know that I left Rose's part out of the last chapter but I wanted to give her a little more since this will just be one of my shortest chapters- echoxknox
Racing through the dark city streets Rose dodged the crowds of drunks and wary soldiers she had no time to waste her time with her love was short and she didn't want to miss a second. Slipping in to her house she regained her calm walking in as if she had only taken a leisurely stroll greeting her girl and waving flirtatiously to her other "patrons" she walked about till she found the man she was looking for.
Sandor Cleagene sat at the table closest to the stairs a cup of wine in one hand his body stiff while his face gave nothing. Sauntering up to his table she smiled as she would to any other man but her eyes spoke volumes he nodded to her. Taking the only empty chair at his table she leaned forward in what many thought was a seductive manner her voice low enough that they would all think she were probably doing just what they all thought when in truth she only spoke in a soft loving voice.
"my beloved sandor I have missed you so I am truly sorry I have only been able to speak through letters but I had to do something I could not let them die"
Sandor would know what she was talking about he knew of the kings bastards and what their fate would be once the king died. Sandor nodded his eyes held the same longing that hers did though they both hid it masterfully.
"come let us retire to my chambers"
Leading sandor up the stairs they ignored the wolf whistles from the other men it was a well known fact that the lady of the house did not lay with just any man they had to offer her at least three bags of gold but they left shaken that was for sure. Closing the door and locking it she Turned to look at her sandor she watched him sit on the bed taking off his gloves he reached out to her , smiling softly she took it. sitting next to him they fell back together his arm around her shoulder pulling her close, sighing they both lay there in silence. There was no need for words they were past the stage that gabby and victor were at they didn't need to fill the silence just holding each other they would do more later but right now she just needed to be near him.
"tell me my lady, what has taken you from my arms this time?"
Sandor rumbling voice was a comfort to her. while it frightened others it reminded her of a real hound growling she did think his more commonly used name was perfect it just depended on which way one used it.
"many things my beloved, many things that can change in an instant ,I only hope that it all works out "
"and if it does not?"
Pausing she closed her eyes and sighed what indeed.
"deny that you ever knew me and you may make it out alive "
"your starting a rebellion aren't you"
She laughed softly he was close but not quite.
"oh sandor if I was starting a rebellion than it would have already happened and failed and my head would be on one of those lovely spikes on the keeps wall"
"don't talk like that "
"it's true, I may be good but even I have my limits no, I am not starting a rebellion "
"good I can't save you every time you cause trouble"
"excuse me , you have never had to save me once, in fact every time the kings guard screw up I save you " she protested only to be met with his rumbling chuckle making her mock glare turn to a smile.
"I only jest my lady I said it cause I knew you would react like that "
"you are cruel sir I do not like to have my emotions messed with as much as the next girl "
Pulling herself free from his extremely comfortable side she stood out of his reach her arms crossed a childish pout on her lips she didn't care if she was a grown woman she could act how ever she wished with sandor. The sound of his boots on her wood floor echoed through out the quiet room he was right behind her she knew he was . she could feel his eyes on her she knew he was dying to take her in his arms just as he knew she wanted to kiss him and get this little game over with.
"my lady …."
"fine I guess I can't stay mad at you with that logic"
Sandor's strong arms circled her slim waist pulling her to him, his head rested on her shoulder she covered his calloused hands with her own smaller softer pair. Leaning back in to him she closed her eyes she knew that they needed to talk she had to warn him of what was to come. this battle would not end well if he was not by her side she loved this man and as much as she loved how loyal he was. she couldn't kill him if it came down to it.
"sandor we need to talk "
"of what my lady ?"
"great changes and the blood that may be spilt accomplishing said changes "
She didn't dare look at him she would give in to what ever he said if she did and she couldn't do that to her family. they had planned this long before she had met sandor.
"tell me my lady"
"if this turns out as I hope it will than I will tell you my real name"
At that she felt him freeze . by telling him her real name it was her way of giving him every thing and they both knew that meant every little thing, she had told him Lydia was not her real name after he had earned her trust which had taken years and now here they stood.
"speak my lady I will listen"
"thank you my dearest sandor to begin …"
…..
It was night when the moon light finally showed signs of land the trees in the distance and the cool night air was all that greeted them. The dothraki wore the strong "dragon hide armor" his mother had called it the metal allowed full mobility but could not be penetrated by simple steel swords. The horses were unloaded and tents pitched . if any of his siblings missed out on this battle he would never let them live it down.
They had slit the army in half the first half had left bravos three days earlier than the second half so that they could attack from the front of the city drawing their attention than Daenerys and her horse sized dragons would fly in and attack from the sea. The great beasts of old would be proud of their decedents the tiny hatchlings and grown to ridding size in only a handful of months and dany would ride them she had made that very clear. Those that couldn't fight would stay behind so Arya ,naz dazen and his mother with Atizane's help would watch over the wives and children of the dothraki till their husbands came back to claim them .
"rest brothers for tomorrow we ride for blood!" Drogo's voice rang out even in the dead of night brick could feel the strength of their men as they cheered and prepared for the coming battle.
…
Rose lay with sandor they had talked and after what felt like hours he had surprised her again. Instead of leaving her to tell the lioness or trying to kill her which would have been a dangerous mistake on his part no, he had accepted her explanation. In this moment she was the happiest woman in the world all would turn out fine with sandor. when things started to happen she would find him , from there it would go as they had planned.
A small bell rang looking up she frowned in confusion slipping out of a sleeping Sandor's arms she quickly dressed her self climbing to the roof she found a raven with a note tied to its scrawny leg. Taking the letter she didn't bother going back inside to read it by the light of the moon she read the messy scrawl that was bricks writing she rushed back down stairs kissing sandor she rushed to the safe house it was the dead of night so guards were not an issue and all the drunk mobs were already passed out.
Pushing through the safe house door she found her siblings all on the floor . Shane sat against the back wall one leg drawn up to her chest as she watched over the others. Upon seeing Rose's frantic state she snapped her fingers the fire roared and the candles around the room brightened the room almost blindingly waking the sleeping occupants .
"what's going on? "Muttered a groggy Sojen rubbing his eyes.
"they are here in westiros"
They all froze turning to their elder sibling they all gaped.
"what!?" gabby stood brushing her hair out of her face .
"brick has just sent me a raven his note says that he and half their army are here and as long as we can take out the walls defenses and get that front gate open then they can handle the rest " Rose explained
Shane stood making her way to the last crate not even bothering with the iron to open the lid she used her hands ripping the wood off the top. Reaching in she pulled out a sword that many of them knew she had once called her old friend.
"we best prepare till they come, Demon fang and I shall become" Shane paused unsheathing the deadly steel the blade was a dark rust like crimson they all knew who the last one to see that blade was.
" reacquainted" she finished.
Sojen walked to his own crate.
"you heard the girl we must prepare "
Watching her siblings Rose couldn't help but feel proud as if sensing her pride they all turned to her and smiled uttering the same thing .
"the demon rises"
Ok I can feel the epicness cant you? Any way get those comments and thoughts in cause this is the beginning of the end for old westiros let the demons rise and blood and fire rain from the skys!...ew . echoxknox out
