Chapter 13
Arya smiled lightly as she finished getting changed into regular clothes again; it was midday, she had been checked over and been given a clean bill of health, confirmed by the hospital staff that she had fully recovered from her attack. Now she was getting ready to leave.
'Thank the Gods, I was getting so bored, but I get why they kept me here.' She reflected. 'Still, it's all good now. Don't dwell on it.'
With a grin she finished getting dressed, just as she heard a knock at her door.
"Come in." She called out.
Turning to the door her grin grew as Gendry entered.
"Hey Arry, are you…?" He began.
She just laughed. "Of course I am, so, you ready?"
Smiling they hugged and Gendry replied.
"Yeah, your family is all waiting at home by the way."
"They sent you to pick me up?" She queried with a raised eyebrow.
Gendry laughed. "Actually, I volunteered."
Arya just smiled and after they shared a brief kiss, they left the hospital room, holding hands. Arya had to admit, this was a little unusual, she and Gendry rarely showed their relationship so openly. But after everything that happened, she wasn't really that concerned about it. She just felt at ease like this.
Getting into Gendry's car they drove off and began heading for her home. As they drove Arya pondered for a while.
"Arry, you alright?" Gendry asked, taking note of her distraction.
She started but then nodded. "Yeah, I was just...have the police made any progress with the investigation?"
He nodded slowly. "They're still looking, they, have their suspicions however but they want to be sure, so they're still running some tests."
That caught her attention. "Suspicions?"
"Yeah, they...They might have a match to the DNA you got off the guy, there was a similar case a couple of months ago, another girl was attacked." Gendry explained. "But she backed down from pressing charges, apparently something scared her off."
Arya narrowed her eyes. "Well it'll take more than this to scare me. If it's the same guy, he's not gonna get away this time."
Gendry nodded. "Yeah, well, you know you have me and your family to back you up, right?"
She nodded back, grinning widely as they continued the journey home, Arya feeling more relaxed now and hoping that things would be resolved soon.
As they drove however, she got a new idea. "Say, Gendry, I was hoping there was something you could do for me?"
That caught his attention. "Oh, what is it?"
She bit her lip, the way she usually did when she was nervous. "Well, I was hoping you could..."
She hesitated, during which time Gendry reached Winterfell and parked. Shaking her head she smiled and leaned in close, whispering to him what it was she wanted him to do. Gendry couldn't help but grin, raising an eyebrow, prompting a smack in the chest from Arya. Laughing at this he agreed, glad to see she was indeed fully recovered, she was back in her usual self.
Getting out of his car, Arya and Gendry made their way up to the front door and, with a nod from Gendry, Arya opened the door, finding it unlocked. As she entered she followed Gendry's words and headed through to the living room.
"Arya!"
She was almost knocked off her feet as Rickon hugged her.
She laughed and hugged him back. "Hey Rick, I'm back."
The rest of the family all approached too, all of them hugging her and Arya smiled, glad to be back.
"Arya, how are you now, are you…?" Her mother began.
Arya nodded. "I'm fine mum; much better. I just want to put this behind me now."
Her father looked at her seriously. "That might be difficult Arya; the police just called. I'm sure Gendry told you about the DNA?"
She nodded. "Yeah."
"Well, they finally matched it and verified it was a match to the previous case. They also identified the DNA, they know who attacked you." He revealed.
Arya froze, waiting, tense. Then her father revealed who it was and Arya; while angry, ha to admit, she wasn't surprised.
"It was...Kevan Frey."
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
