Reviews

Boris Yeltsin: Thanks and yeah, it was.
Guest: Thanks, glad you liked that, well...while it is very suggestive, there is nothing definitive yet, remember where Arya was, after all.
Marina Ka-Fai: Yeah well...
Wolfgirl2013: Thanks :)
Veridissima: Yeah, well, it could have been far worse.
Dara: Yeah, well, you should probably relax that thought, since that's not the case.

Now onto the story.

Chapter 12

"I appreciate this must be difficult for you, Ms. Stark, but please, we need you to tell us everything you remember." The female police officer stated calmly.

Arya nodded; she was seated in a treatment room at the hospital; she had been brought here straight from Gendry's her shredded clothes and other evidence, such as the blood under her fingernails, was already collected and in police custody.

Trying to stay focused, she spoke. "I had got off the bus after arriving in King's Landing. I had come here to visit my boyfriend..."

"Gendry Waters, the young man who called us and accompanied you here?" The officer queried.

Arya nodded. "Yes, that's right. I started walking to his home, I got into Flea Bottom and reached the...the third intersection after entering, from the eastern side."

She knew she had to explain things this way, unlike other place, Flea Bottom had no street names. Still, the officer nodded, knowing what she meant.

"The next thing I knew, I was, grabbed, from behind. He, he put his hand over my mouth and dragged me into the alleyway, there he pinned me against the wall, threatened me and, and tried to assault me." She explained. "I couldn't see him clearly, he wore a mask...but as he tried to attack me, I, I fought back, bit his hand and scratching him before...I struck him between the legs with my knee and ran. Ran until I got to Gendry's house."

The officer nodded, understanding, she didn't need to hear anymore.

Standing up she spoke.

"Thank you Ms. Stark, we'll get onto this right away, don't worry." She said.

Arya just nodded and, as the officer left, Arya turned to the doctor present.

"How long do I need to stay here?" She asked, anxious.

The doctor nodded, sympathetically. "I understand your eagerness, Ms. Stark, but we need to keep an eye on you and let you recover properly. We're just being cautious but, better to be safe than sorry."

"Yeah..." Arya replied; still trying to stay calm. "So…?"

"Tomorrow morning at the earliest." The doctor replied. "At the latest, tomorrow afternoon."

That relieved her somewhat, she could handle that, just an overnight stay. It was then the doctor left and Gendry entered.

"Hey." He said softly. "How are you holding up?"

She shrugged. "Better now, guess I just need to rest and wait until they let me out."

"After what you've just been through Arry, it's not surprising." Gendry explained.

She nodded, accepting this. He sat down by her and she smiled, already feeling calmer.

Still smiling she spoke quietly. "Gendry, I don't usually admit this, but I want you to know...when that happened, I was scared."

"I don't blame you Arry, it was pretty...intense after all, right?" He replied.

She bowed her head. "Yeah; but damn, I don't know...I don't want to think what might have happened if I hadn't got away."

Gendry hugged her and she let herself relax.

It was then the door opened again and Arya tensed, for those who entered were none other than her family.

'Shit, everything mum and dad were worried about, the things they said.' She realized, panicking. 'They always said they were worried about me going to Gendry's; because he lived in Flea Bottom. This will justify their fears.'

But then, suddenly, her mother hugged her tightly.

"Oh Arya, thank the Gods, are you…?"

"I'm alright, mum, really, I'm fine." She replied.

Letting her go, Catelyn turned to Gendry and surprised her daughter.

"Oh Gendry, thank you. You...You truly helped Arya out." She said.

Arya started at that; then looked at the rest of the family, they were all looking gratefully towards Gendry. Nodding and smiling, her father gently hugged her too.

"We're so proud of you Arya, you fought back really well." He said.

Arya couldn't help but smile, relieved and hopeful now. With her main worries put to rest, she was able to settle in and make a steady recovery.
