Anastasia slipped out of the main part of the red keep; taking one of the tunnels she went deeper and deeper underground. As she found the passageway she detoured with the bucket she carried, there were many little pools of water all over and indeed under the city. She slowly filled the bucket and proceeded back to the stairwell she found the one she wanted and wondered deeper and deeper down into the darkness the room was marked by the single burning torch on the wall. Anastasia ducked in and began to light the torches that lined the walls and as they did a shaped emerged just where she'd left it, picking up the bucket she hoisted it up and chucked the cold water onto his sleeping frame. "Rise and shine Kingslayer." She called.
The shackles clacked against the wall and from Jaime's dry lips escaped the word. "Cersei."
"No better." Anastasia smiled at him as he lift his head there was a look of pure hatred in his green eyes a look which she knew so well. Anastasia took slow and deliberate steps forward towards him pouting. "What? Not happy to see me."
Jaime spat at her. "Only, if I have a sword in hand."
Anastasia shook her head, "That's not very nice is it." She mocked him leaning forward and dragging her fingertips along his bare chest, letting them glide soft as silk across the lean muscle before turning inwards to have the nails pull the skin apart, leaving red and bleeding marks in their wake. "Look at that he bleeds like the rest of us."
He pulled uselessly against the chains which kept him against the wall. "What do you want?" He yelled at her.
Anastasia stepped back, running her thumb over her nails which were coated in a light layer of blood. "To see you suffer." She said quite frankly returning her gaze from her nails to him. "I have some news do you want to hear it?" She asked perking up as she sat herself down in the chair which faced him. "But you're gonna have to guess, who it's about."
Jaime looked away. "I don't want to play, your sick little games." He whispered.
"Am I the sick one now? If I remember correctly you're the one who was fucking your sister." She smiled at him shifting in her seat so that she was more comfortable. "I'll give you a hint the news concerns that issue."
Jaime came to life in a second. "You little bitch what have you done to Cersei?" He shouted at her furiously shaking his chains.
Anastasia stood. "Oh, is that the only one you care about? Well there are a few other family members I thought may have peaked your interest." She shrugged.
"What's happened to my family?"
Anastasia laughed. "Are you familiar with the Rains of Castamere, I'm sure your father would have had it played once or twice at Casterly Rock, well it went something like that. It's yet to be decide which lords will take your high seat after that most distressing afternoon for your family, but I'm sure Robb will decide that when he arrives."
Jaime began to shake with rage. "You can't do that, you're bound by honour!" He spat the word at her like an insult.
Anastasia took his face in her hand, squeezing his lips shut and began to whisper. "No stupid boy, I fight for Starks. Starks are bounded by honour, I am no Stark. So believe what you want, but once we took off that little bastards of yours head and the legend that was your father; the cunt which you've fought so hard for threw herself from one of the windows of the red keep, it's kind of funny how things work out since you shoving a Stark boy out a window seemed to be the start of all of this." She let his face go and as she did he tried to bite her. "You really are a filthy animal aren't you?"
Jaime's head drooped and after a minute he managed to speak again. "What of my brother?"
"He's gone probably half way across the world by now, he was more than willing. In the end his friendship with me saved him, life's a strange thing sometimes."
"No, he wouldn't abandon the family like that."
Anastasia turned her back to him. "Why not, you didn't need to be close to him to know that he wasn't particularly close with your sister or father, nobody could blame him for hating that monster of a boy and in everyone's eyes you were already dead why wouldn't he leave when I told him to take those two precious children somewhere safe, because they don't deserve to suffer for the family's disgrace." Anastasia ran her hand over the fine steel which made up her sword, it was one which she'd first learnt to fight with and she'd kept it through the years for this purpose.
Anastasia turned once again to face the Kingslayer. "What's that for?" He asked calmly, it was the most controlled he'd been since she had arrived. "Are you going to kill me?"
Anastasia shook her head. "No of course not, that's what you want. I'm just keeping my word." She smiled a wicked grin at him before thrusting the sword through his right hand. As she was brought closer she whispered in his ear. "You may remember the last time I saw you in chains, I said I'd always make you have a sword in hand well now you do." She pulled away as he yelled and cursed in pain.
Anastasia grabbed the torch, as she headed toward the sword. "Feel free to scream Kingslayer I'll be back before the infection kicks in." Anastasia carried the torch up the stairs leaving him in the dark and quivering in pain a smile crept onto her face, there was much more he would know before she was done.
She made it back to her chambers without being questioned and changed her shirt which had gotten some blood splatter; she was just finishing braiding her hair in a way worthy of any Khal when there was a knock at the door, Jade brought in Margery Tyrell looking the way any queen should. "Margery my dear are you ready for our grand address?"
The girl bowed showing a fair share of cleavage. "Yes your grace."
Anastasia took the girl from the ground wrapping their arms together. "I'm no royal." She whispered as they walked arm in arm down the corridor and towards the light of the balcony and waiting people.
Author's Note: I'm am so so so sorry to anybody who has been waiting for this, but I got caught up in my own writing and kinda forgot about this, I hope I can update a lot sooner next time.
