Rayne pov
After Alina left, I drowned myself in selfpity.
I had lost him, for good. Without a fight because I knew he would always do what was best for the ones he loved and that were, in this case, his sibblings. I knew now that I would never have the chance to have him back again.
'Stop that! You are not like that, you are not weak, you will not cry after a men. You are strong! It doesn't matter if you got him back or not, you have lived ten years without any emotions and it was better that way. You didn't hurt so much back then. And don't forget, you are here because you want to safe the human kind.' my inner voice admonished me. And she was right, I didn't hurt so much back then but to feelings he had stirred up weren't all Bad, the feeling to belong to someone, to be loved by someone was pretty amazing.
'And it is now gone. What did it to you to have this emotions in the end? You are hurting because he cheated on you. Your instincts predicted that but you choose to ignore that and trusted him.'
Days later I found myself on my way to the bow targets, The last few days I had hide inside my room, I didn't wanted to be around anyone. Alina, Dagonet and Ser Darvos made rotations of bringing me food, but almost everything would go bad because my appetite had gone to where my peaceful nights had gone too. I became restless until I had enough of my pity Party.
The sky had already begun to darken and everyone else should be at Dinner right now, so I craweld out of my room and made my way to the training yard. I was so busy with my own thoughts that I didn't noticed that I was being followed. After my first shot with the bow I heard steps behind me and turned to find Sansa standing there.
"What are you doing here, my lady? Isn't it Dinner time now?" I asked irretated that she was out here
"I know, but you weren't there, again. So I got to search for you." She answered.
"That's really nice of you but I'm not hungry, I think I will miss Dinner today." I said as shot my second arrow.
"Jon told us what happened between you two." She said lowly as I froze in my motion.
"Okay." I said short because I really didn't know what I should say to this. Of course he would tell his sibblings, they are going to get affected by this to. If he really was to marry this Queen they would become the royally family. I shot the next arrow with heavy force, my anger at the situation coming up again.
"Just so you know, we stand behind you, we have your back in this. Rickon won't even talk to him anymore until you both made up again. What he did to you is horroable. I even punched him because of that."
That got me to stop shooting and turning suprised towards her.
"You did what?" I asked
"I punched him, Arya told me how to do it." She said while smiling sheeplishly at me.
I couldn't help but giggle at the imaginary picture of Sansa hitting Jon.
"I would have liked to see that. But why would you do that?" I asked irretated
"Because you became a good friend to me, I like you a thousand times more then this wannabe Queen. I don't trust her, she has something on her, I don't know how to describe it. But I know I don't like it." She explained
"That makes two of us, everyone else seems to love her." I said as I got back to my bow.
"Yeah isn't it crazy that everyone just bow to her every will. Just like that."
We talked a little more while I was Training my aim, I even got Sansa to try shooting the bow one time but she didn't hit the targets instead she hit a bucket one of the servants was just refilling with Water. Sansa really became a good friend, we laughed and talked about everything and nothing, of course Jon was a topic too. But she quickly realized I wasn't ready to talk to her about him, so we got to curse the 'wannabe Queen'. We really had fun and I could forget all the Drama in my life, but like always the happy times were short lived.
"Here you two are. You both missed Dinner." Came Jons deep voice from behind us. At hearing his voice I froze, hearing his voice so close let my skin errupt with goosebumps. I looked apologizing at Sansa who looked with wide eyes at me
"Sorry" I mouthed towards her as I lay the arc back and began to make my way away from him.
Before I could get far I heard fast, heavy steps coming near me.
"Rayne! Rayne, please wait a second." I heard Jons voice coming near me.
I quickend my step, still not ready to face him. I looked around me in search of a rescue and to my luck Dagonet made his way into the yard.
"Hey Princess do you want to spare again?" I shouted over to him, to get his attention. He looked around and saw me coming towards him, I pleaded him with my eyes to help me out.
"Princess? Oh you are so going to pay for that nickname. Let's go." He answered and waved me over.
I could hear the steps behind me coming to a halt and i had to smile of relief because I knew Jon had give up his chase, for now.
"So what do I get for being your knight in shin armor?" Dagonet ask as we arrived at the sparing yard behind the castle.
"What you get?! Mhhh, let me think, okay. I will get easy on you and don't ruin your hair, for that. My Princess." I teased him.
We choose to practice the sword fighting again, Dago immediatly attacked at me calling him by his new nickname.
"Stop calling me that." He said unnerved
"Why? It's suits you." I laughed while blockig his hit. While doing so I didn't notice his leg, he wound it around my stand and drew it to him. I lost my stand and fell to the ground, he jumped immediatly on me and sat down on my chest, with my arms bond between his legs and my body.
"So what did you call me again?" He asked as he took a handful of mud from the ground and held it close to my face.
"You wouldn't dare, Princess! ." I laughed out, my eyes wide as I saw what he was going to do.
"You wann bet?" He asked back with mischief in his eyes.
"Don't!" I screamed as the first wet and cold dropship of mud landed on my cheek. I tryed to fight him off of me but to no sucess, it's only result was that I was even more dirty now.
"Okay, okay. I surrender! I won't call you Princess anymore." I said as my belly began to hurt from all the laughing.
"Okay, and what will you call me from now on?" Dago asked still sitting on me.
I looked questioningly at him
"You will call me 'the best looking and fighting men ever' from now on." He said smiling proudly as I surrended.
"Never! If I would be fully recovered by now I would kick your arse from here to the wall." I said
"But your are not and if I see it right you have no other choice if you want to get out." He said as he began to smear the mud on my face again.
"Fine! Let me get up you 'best looking and fighting men'." I shouted.
Finally he lifts himself up from me and I took a deep breath in. I mean Dagonet wasn't that heavy but it was enough to restrict my breathing and don't forget the laughing.
"Why does our sparing always ends with the result that one of us has to take a bath?" I asked laughing as I tryed to clean myself a little from the mud.
"Don't know, maybe we just like to get dirty." He said flirting with me. I looked up at him with a disbelieving look and brust out laughing as he raised his eyebrows at me.
"Definatly not me. So that's it for me today, I'm going to take a bath." I said as I made my way back to the castle.
"Is that an invitation? Because I would gladly accept it." He shouted after me.
"In your Dreams Dago, in your Dreams." I answered him while I kept on walking.
After a detour to my room to catch me a new set of clothes and a towel I carefully made my way to the Hot springs beneath the castle. It was late so I didn't expect to walk into someone else, I slowly opened the door to the bath and looked inside. Just like I expected it, no one was there. I made my way inside and closed the door behind me.
I slowly took of my dirty clothes, as I was naked I took a look at my wounds. They were almost gone, I could get back to normal Training tomorrow. I eased myself slowly into the Hot Water and began to relax.
