NightlyRowenTree: Thank you for your comments! *smile*


Here is the third gift! I hope you received good and amazing gifts today.

As always, I don't own A Song of Ice and Fire books and GOT show, except for my OCs and part of the story. English is my second (foreign) language, Spanish is my first. Sorry for the typos.


Chapter 12

I was starting to love the beautiful part of being in King's Landing, but the real Lylian began to hate it.

The owner of this body hates the warm of this place, she yearns for the cold and snow. But me, was another story. I love sunny days on South, and I missed it since I woke up. It was too bad that in this period doesn't exist swimming clothes from my world, I wanted to take a tan.

The only thing we were agree was the fact that King's Landing was smelly and dirty, but the whole Red Keep was beautiful, including the big garden it has.

The first time when I went there, I fall in love by the lots of flowers in each color you ask. It became my favorite place, especially a small balcony that has the sight of the Blackwater Bay. I spend there most of the times, smelling that peculiar scent of the ocean, it reminds me where I belong.

As for Jaime, I was still avoiding him. Lylian was avoiding him, but as for me… I began to miss him. I want to know Jaime better, but that mysterious voice keep insisting not falling in love at him, and I know that but… there is something that pulls me to him.

Everything in me is changing. Sometimes I'm feeling that Lylian is moving the body and speaking, and I'm just a spectator, like a dream. But in others I'm just me, and this is my world. In a beginning I didn't pay attention to it, but now I'm worried about that.

Also, when I'm sleeping and my dreams started, sometimes I have confusing images and sounds. I can't identify them, and this gives me headaches every time I think on them.

I needed to analyze what's wrong with me. I need answers.

"Why I'm feeling like this? What are those images?" I ask the voice but there was no answer.

I was on my favorite place where I was thinking about me and Jaime. I close my eyes and inhale that smell of the ocean.

I need answers…

I didn't know if it was my imagination, but in my head I saw myself in the mirror, getting dressed. I mean, the blonde tanned girl and blue eyes.

The girl was applying make-up in her face. A guy appeared behind her and hug her from behind. The girl was laughing…

Who was that guy? Why is kissing me?

I felt a hand on my shoulder, making me jump on fright. I take one of my hands to my chest, trying to calm myself.

"Are you well?" Jaime said in a concern tone. I focus my eyes on his, he looked worried.

"You almost gave me a heart attack." I jested. He only gave me a small smile.

"I was calling you, but you didn't hear me. Something's wrong?"

I shook my head. "Nothing to worry about." I gave him an assurance smile. "I was just… thinking too much." Jaime saw me with disbelief. "I was distracted on my own thoughts. Don't worry." I smiled again.

He sigh before speaking. "I have several days looking for you." He look at me serious. "You are avoiding me." Then he look around me. "Where's Luna?"

Don't say it Lylian… Don't say it… "She is taking care of my sisters because your family left them without direwolves." she said seriously.

"I'm sorry about the direwolves." Jaime said with an apologetic look. "That's why you were avoiding me?" he asked surprised.

"I'm not going to discuss this here. There are many ears." I turn around, looking at the sea.

Then I felt someone grab my arm very rough and turn me around. His cat-green eyes looked intimidating. Our faces were really close. "Why you are avoiding me?"

"I'm not-"

"Tell. Me." Jaime hissed.

"Why you Lannisters are liars? Why do like always have the truth and manipulate It at you will?" I spat angry. "I hated when my father told me that the King and the Queen ordered to kill Lady. She didn't do anything!" I hissed. "And then, I found out that the Queen wanted execute Luna without reason. Luna practically defended Joffrey from Nymeria. If she wasn't for her, Joffrey will be without an arm." Jaime looked surprised. I snorted. "Why you are surprised? The Queen is your twin. Twins don't suppose to share everything?"

He stopped looking at me and let go my arm. His eyes were still angry, but not at me, it was at something or someone. Jaime turn himself and began to walk fast where he came, leaving me alone. What the hell is wrong with him?

*.*.*.*

Luna was laid on my bed, with her head up looking at me. I was drawing her in an easel and the colors I was using were black and sepia colors. The King, knowing that I love drawing, he provide me the instruments for painting.

Since what happened on The Trident, I didn't have the mood for drawing something. But yesterday, father informed us, to my sisters and me, the good news about Bran has woke up. I knew he was going to wake up and not because of the mysterious voice, I knew it inside me.

As for Jaime… I didn't see him around. After everything I've told him, I felt bad with myself. It wasn't his fault about what happen to Lady, it was his twin and Joffrey who did that. The same happens with the King, he was only under the influence of his wife.

I heard the door of my room being opened and Luna move her head to that direction. Leila entered to the room and look nervously to my direwolf and I stopped what I was doing.

"I know you are not get used to see a beast like her on South. But I promise you she will not attack you, unless I command it, or someone is hurting me or she is feeling threaten." I put my instruments carefully on the table and I took her hand. "Come."

I took her to my bed and Luna was looking at us with curiosity. "I'm scared m'lady. She won't bite?" I shook my head. Slowly, I put her hand over Luna's head and I let Leila rub my direwolf. And Luna move her head, as she were asking for more.

"You see. She doesn't bite." I assure to her. Leila, with trust at my direwolf, began to ruffle her fur around her ears and neck. Surprisingly, Luna lick her hands, making Leila laugh. "She likes you." I assure to her. Leila stopped ruffle Luna's fur and look at me startled.

"I almost forgot. The King request your presence in his chambers, Lady Lylian."

"Right now?" she nodded. "Let me finish part of my painting." I said to her as I was grabbing again my drawing instruments. "Can you find me some water to wash my hands, please?" Leila bowed her head and left.

When she came back, I could add some things to the painting. Once my hands were cleaned, I fix myself to look presentable for the King.

"Leila, I need a favor. Can you take Luna to my sister Arya?" Leila look at me nervously. "She will not pull you around the hall." She nodded. "I will leash her and take her until we separate."

Once Leila and I separate ways, I gave Luna to the servant. "Be a good girl with Leila." I said to my bi-colored eyes direwolf before walking to the hall that leads me where the King has summoned me.

Why the King has summoned me? It's about my betrothals?

As I was near to his chamber, I saw from afar one of the Kingsguard on the door. But soon I was nearer I could recognize that Kingsguard with blond hair.

"Lylian…" Jaime said startled.

"Is the King still here?" I ask him as if I were asking information at someone. Like an unknown person.

He sigh. "Yes, drinking as always." I nodded and when I was going to enter, Jaime blocked my path. "Listen. I'm sorry for what Cercei do to your sister's direwolf. I would intervene, but I was worried about you and even more when you passed out-" I could see Jaime's concern in his eyes and his intentions for trying to fix the disaster. I stopped what he was saying by gesturing with one of my hands.

"I felt bad about what I've told you. I know it wasn't your fault about what happened. And now I'm sorry for everything I've said." I smiled nervously.

He narrow his eyes at me as if where thinking on something. "Now I'm apparently forgiven, I will forgive you only if you accept something." By the tone of his voice, he was jesting. I cross my arms and look at him as much severe look I can. "I didn't say what it is and now you are looking at me with your severe look?"

"I don't like when you act so arrogant."

"Take the supper with me." His comment took me by surprise. "What do you say? Just the two of us." He smiled nervously. "I promise I will take you to your chambers. I don't want you to be alone around the castle."

He was asking me for a date? Or what it looks like a date? Why he's nervous?

When I was about to answer, the door behind Jaime opened. A teenager boy, with blond hair and green eyes barely look at us and go out almost running. "…tell your cousin to get in here." I heard the King's voice ordered to the young. So that's Lancel… "Kingslayer! Get in here." I saw Jaime's face get serious. Jaime gesture with his hand to let me enter first. "Finally you arrived, girl!" the King said after he noticed my presence.

"My apologies, Your Grace. When you summoned me I was drawing." I smiled apologetically to the King. When I saw Barristan 'The Bold' I made my courtesies to him. "Ser Barristan."

"Lady Stark." He said as he was bowed his head.

"Sit here, Lylian." The King pointing at a chair that was in front of him and his desk. "We were talking about our first killings." He said enthusiastic.

"First killings?" I ask surprised.

"Yes, we're telling war stories, how was our killings shit themselves when they died." He explain as if it was a common subject. Then he look what it was behind me. "Surrounded by Lannisters. Every time I close my eyes, I see their blond hair and their smug, satisfied faces. It must wound your pride, huh?" The King was provoking Jaime. "Standing out there like a glorified sentry. Jaime Lannister, son of the mighty Tywin. Forced to mind the door while your King eats and drinks, and shits and fucks." I was imagine Jaime's face wince or maintaining his serious face, trying not make a suicide by throwing himself to the King. "So come on. Who was your first kill? Not counting old man."

"One of the outlaws in the Brotherhood." I heard Jaime's answer.

"I was there that day." Commented Ser Barristan. I move a little bit my seat to look at both men well. "You were only a squire, sixteen years old." Jaime nodded.

"You killed Simon Toyne with a counter riposte. Best move I ever saw." Jaime told amazed.

"A good fighter, Toyne. But he lack of stamina." Remarked Ser Barristan.

"Your outlaw. Any last words?" The King asked.

"I cut his head off, so no." Ser Barristan snorted and Jaime smirk.

Jesus Christ!

"What about Aerys Targaryen? What did the Mad King say when you stabbed in the back? I never ask." I saw how Jaime's face got serious. I know this was a delicate subject to him; from killing the Mad King, he received his infamous pet name. "Did he call you a traitor? Did he plead for a reprieve?"

"He said the same thing he's been saying for hours. 'Burn them all'." The King look startled by Jaime's answer. "If that's all, Your Grace-"

"Not yet, let's hear Lylian story." The King interrupt him. Now I was the startled one. "I've heard by your father you killed someone."

When I was to protest not remembering killing anyone, flashes came to my mind. "Yes, I killed someone. And I don't want to talk about-"

"Your King commands it." The King ordered.

I sigh. "My brothers and father and I we were on the Wolfwood hunting. I got separated from the group, I wanted to ride on my own for a little while." I began to explain as the flashes appeared on my head. "I've heard a noise and the feeling of being watched. Some bandits appeared and round me. I was so scared that I didn't know what to do, I forgot every lesson of fight and the first thing I did was running with my horse. But I couldn't run very far, because I felt something painful on my left leg." That's why I had that wound in my left leg… "And as fast I could, I began to shoot at them with my arrow, like they were boars." I was seeing in my head how those men were falling one by one for every shot I did, feeling my leg throbbing as hell. "When I saw them on the ground either dying or already dead, I could escape. That was the last thing I remember and that was the day I lose my memory, by falling from a horse because of the wound." The King look at me startled. "Nobody in my family told me exactly what happened to me that day, I found out on my own."

"I'm sorry for what happened to you, Lady Stark." I heard Ser Barristan said and I just nodded.

"This is not a war story, is a sad one. Because from that, I can't remember some invaluable moments with my family, and I don't know if I can recover them." I said seriously and the King was still looking at me startled. "If you excuse me Your Grace, I want to leave before you keep remind me of my little problem and talking about deaths as if were something fun." I said dryly before getting up from my seat and leave almost running.

I didn't care being noisy when I close the door and I began to walk fast, back to my chambers. I heard being called, but I didn't pay attention to it, I felt so furious at the King, for making me remind my amnesia.

My aunt Lyanna did good for not marry at him. He's good guy, friendly and overprotective with the ones he loves. But when he gets drunk and began to talk those delicate subjects as if were something fun, he was an asshole.

Both Lylian and I were agreed on hate killing at someone for sport.
