SAI: Here's chapter two and I hate the fact that Jaime died with Cersei even if the two of them are "so in love with each other."

As usual, this is AU.

Chapter One: Death Is Only the Beginning

Brienne

Sapphire blue eyes awakened with a focus that was pretty much like a drunkard. Grunting, Brienne set herself up on the featherbed as she clutched her aching head. Adjusting her eyesight to the onslaught of the sun's rays upon her. Sighing of relief and thinking all she had experience a dream, she found that maybe just maybe Ser Jaime Lannister wasn't dead after all and it was all but a terrible nightmare.

A sound of an opening door took her out of her thoughts and as her eyes shifted there, she felt dread crept up on her bones. For in the center of the opened door was the Jaime she did not have a clue about. With his golden hair and a smile upon his face, he seemed to be carrying a tray with holds many dishes that she considered to be eaten here when they break their fast. But it didn't deter her to the very notion that she was still stuck in the limbo of a place where she doesn't have a clue how to live in.

"You had me worried there." Said the Jaime of this world as he continued to approach her. Settling down the tray in front of her which was on a small table. "Breakfast in bed, for my giant of a wife who seemed to always get her head in troubles."

Just hearing this Jaime say something about her head had her remembering the ache she felt. Her hands caught on her hair or precisely the Brienne of this world hair. Her face scrunched up in pain and she was even floored as the Jaime of this world place a hand on her scalp, softly caressing it and making the pain go away.

"You hit your head pretty hard, what happened?" the Jaime of this world asked her.

"I… I slipped." She settled for that, not wanting this Jaime to know how frustrated she is in her current situation.

"Well, at least you're alright. I had to carry you to bed since you were unconscious." This Jaime informed, worry etched on his face. He took hold of her hand, green eyes meeting blue ones. "Promise me, to take care of yourself."

Brienne could only nod. "Forgive me, I just suddenly don't feel well." She reasoned, "Even more so, that I am stuck in this world where I felt guilt knowing your Brienne might as well be dead because of me." Her conscience rang, she had wondered about that if she was here living the Brienne of this world's life then where could be that Brienne on which this Jaime held deep affections for?

"Don't tell me, that I got you pregnant that fast? But then again, we Lannisters are too quick for our own good." This Jaime chuckled as he saw Brienne's face reddened at what he said. She was just so innocent and so easy to rile.

"Shut it, you idiot!" She snapped and then caught herself, what if she does not act like the Brienne of this world? Will this Jaime realize the differences but her fears were put to rest when the Jaime of this world just guffawed at her words.

"There's the Brienne I know! You seemed not yourself awhile ago." This Jaime said with a smile on his handsome face. "I would hate it for my twin sister to bludgeon my head because I didn't take good care of her best friend."

"Cersei?" Brienne quipped shock at the revelation, the Brienne of this world was best friends with the lying Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Is the Cersei here even have a relationship with this Jaime?

"Yes, my twin. Are you sure you're alright? She's in Storm's End now. With her husband Governor Robert Baratheon and her children Gendry the eldest, followed by Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen?" This Jaime informed with a frown on his face.

"Gendry?" Thinking of the name of the former King Robert Baratheon's bastard had her having a migraine, she groaned in pain as her hand held to her head much to this Jaime's concern. She felt that her head would split open and just when the pain was so unbearable she felt it cracked and memories that weren't hers started to play like a record upon her head.

The lights were all around the catwalk, millions of people were swarming the room. She had just finished her walk, now she was resting on a seat away from the crowd with a glass of champagne in her hand. As the other designers congratulate each other for a job well done. Most of them she knew and were her personal friends. One in particular, was already approaching her with a playful smile upon her lips. The beautiful Tyrell Rose Margaery went to her. "Brienne, what are you doing here? Many wants to see you, you're the star today!"

Brienne awkwardly smiled. "Margaery, you know that I'm not fond of crowds."

Margaery nodded, her eyes rolling. "Yes, yes, yes. Confident on the catwalk yet shy and insecure once out." The Tyrell Rose eyed her with something akin to annoyance, yet she ignored it. Brienne was used to Margaery's demeanor. "Seriously, you're one of the famous models in the industry and instead of going out there and taking advantage of it. You sit here and observe. I just don't fucking get you."

"You probably never will." Brienne informed, as she took a drink of her champagne.

Margaery sighed. Seeing the Tyrell Rose's defeated form had Brienne feeling she was safe from what Margaery was planning. Yet her joy was only for a moment when Margaery coyly smiled at her. With a force she didn't knew the fragile Tyrell Rose had she was taken hold by the arm as Margaery pulled her from her seat and started to get her away from her sanctuary.

"Margaery! Where are you taking me?" She called outraged. Brienne knew she could easily get out of her hold and yet she didn't and just humored Margaery.

"Meeting your best friend silly! Cersei arrived awhile ago while you were traipsing the catwalk with your "Maiden Walk." Hearing that, Brienne was more inclined to be pulled by Margaery. Cersei Lannister known as one of the most beautiful women of Westeros had become her friend on one summer when she was bashful and not confident on herself. Cersei was eleven years her senior and showed her compassion when she needed it the most. She thought her to be confident and held herself high. She was the reason she entered the glamorous world of fashion and modelling since Cersei was one of the people who would recruit talents given her record being the former Queen of the Modelling World. Now, Cersei Lannister was happier in the arms of the Governor Robert Baratheon. With Robert's black hair and striking blue eyes coupled with his physique it is no wonder the Governor of Storm's End got the heart of the lioness of Casterly Rock.

The pair of them finally got to Cersei and she was glad to see her again. Time has been kinder on Cersei as she still look beautiful as always, her husband too. But now, her eyes were on the young Gendry. Gendry himself is the spitting image of his father, now in the light she could see the great resemblance the father and son have.

"Cersei, look who I found." Margaery called with delight that made Brienne groan. The Tyrell Rose was just so happy and carefree.

Pretty green eyes turned its attention on them and Brienne found herself instantaneously in a gripping bear hug. "Can't bre…. Brea..the." She struggled that had Cersei letting her go with a lovely laugh.

"Sorry." Cersei said, yet there was no remorse in her eyes. "You really changed from the insecure teenager I once supported now you're even the diva of the model world!" Cersei exclaimed happiness in her voice, she looked proud with what Brienne has achieved. "Oh! I almost forgot. Let me introduce you to my children."

One by one she saw Cersei's children came to her view. "This is Gendry my eldest, I'm sure you knew of him. Then Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen my youngest." Cersei introduced to her. And Brienne realized that out of all their children it was only Gendry who had Robert's black hair. Lannister's blood is really strong.

"And my twin, Jaime." Cersei said that had Brienne's attention. Out of all of Cersei's brothers she only knew of Tyrion Lannister called the Imp. Tyrion was renowned for his books. He was a really famous author that Brienne had the luck to meet even thought his jokes and smart ass views were unnecessary. Her twin, Jaime Lannister she only knew through magazines the heir of the Lannister fortune and was known to follow Governor Tywin Lannister's placed on the politics of Casterly Rock was seldom to be seen. Since Jaime is a businessman he was always travelling and would only have so little time to meet up with family.

Now, she finds herself tongue tied as she was in the presence of Jaime Lannister with his handsome looks, golden hair, and green eyes. He would probably be what many women would say drop dead handsome and a great Apollo per se.

"Jaime, this is Brienne, my most precious friend." Cersei said with seriousness yet she could see a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

Jaime smiled and she was even shocked as he took hold of her hand and kiss the back of it. Just like the olden days when a handsome prince would greet a princess. But Brienne knew she was no princess, her mirror made sure she always remember that. Jaime was only seeing the Brienne that the Model World had crafted and designed. If he knew what she truly look like without the clothes and make up he would probably run like hell. Plus, it didn't help that Jaime was known to be a playboy.

"A pleasure to meet Brienne the beauty." Jaime's green eyes never left hers even when he had released her hand.

With a tight smile she just nodded and proceeded to talk with Cersei and her experience on the Storm's End. She knew in herself, she was ignoring him and she found satisfaction on that fact. As she chatted with Margaery and Cersei she did not even realize that she had caught the attention of one Jaime Lannister.

Like a bucket of cold water upon her skin, she was out of that memory in an instant and she was under the vision of a pair of concerned emerald eyes. "I'm fine." She quickly amended, not liking the worry on this Jaime's face even if he wasn't the Jaime she knew.

"I don't believe you. We better cut our honeymoon short. I wouldn't want you sick." He argued and Brienne placed a hand on his cheek on which the Jaime of this world leaned out of instinct. The Jaime here was really in love with the Brienne of this world. She could still feel the magnetic pull his eyes had when she recalled the Brienne of this world's memory. What was happening here? She has her memories from her world and at the same time she is also getting the memories of the Brienne who lives in this world.

"I don't want to leave yet, we only got here and I intend to enjoy it." She reasoned, she knew the Brienne of this world would also want that. She figured, she should be selfish for once. The Jaime she knew only look at her as a friend and was enamored with Cersei but here, this Jaime loved his Brienne dearly.

"If that's what my wife wants she'll get." This Jaime agreed, taking hold of the hand she placed on his cheek and kissing it. "But first, breakfast with you." And with that, she found herself being fed by Jaime and she in return did it as well.

"Maybe, being his Brienne wouldn't be so bad." She thought, yet her conscience felt guilt knowing she was lying to this Jaime and stealing the life of the Brienne who was supposed to in this time. But how can she give solution to this? Even if she tell the truth, this Jaime here would probably think her to be insane. Seeing this Jaime's adoration upon her she realized maybe it is true that some deaths are only the beginning.
