Sorry about the huge gap between parts of the story, I'm in the middle of all of my exams and I haven't had chance to write much more. I really hope that I'm doing something right with this story and any of your ideas would be hugely welcome (because I am starting to get a bit of a block on this one). So enjoy and please review, even if your comments aren't all positive, I really welcome constructive criticism.
Chapter 10
I woke up with a slight throbbing in my arm, I groaned and rolled over, trying to get back to sleep. I heard the flap to my tent open and I mumbled a go away in that general direction. "Well that's not a very nice thing to say to your knight in shining armour." I knew it was Jaime just by the way he chuckled deeply. I rolled over and looked at him through sleepy eyes. I frowned slightly and suppressed a yawn. He laughed again and sat on the edge of the bed. "And why are you my knight in shining armour?" He looked at me with a funny expression and said "Don't you remember?" I frowned harder and tried to remember "Kind of, I remember telling the King about what happened, the last thing I remember was you taking me to the Maester." He nodded and said "You missed a little bit, you were already woozy and the Maester gave you milk of the poppy so you were pretty incoherent, so I carried you to bed and tucked you in." He had a smug smile on his face. I groaned slightly "I didn't say anything embarrassing did I?" He chuckled again and said "Wouldn't you like to know?" The smile spread across his face and I huffed at him, punching him lightly in the arm. "Oww, what was that for?" I smiled as he sat there rubbing his arm, "There's no way that hurt!" He pulled a face that made him look like he was about to cry, "I am in fact a very sensitive person." He pressed his hand to his heart, I simply snorted. "You shouldn't keep making that noise it's very unladylike." I snorted again, this time even loader just to annoy him. He grinned at me and collapsed on one side of my bed looking up at the roof of the tent. "So what happened at the trial once you saved me." I quirked my eyebrows at him slightly, causing a slight blush to run across his cheeks. "Well, the King saw right through Joffrey's lies. But unfortunately the King did agree to have one of the Direwolves killed because of what Nymeria did to Joff, personally I don't think that it's necessary. She was only protecting her master, I think the King just needed to do something to keep the peace with my sister and that son of hers." I looked over at Jaime with a shocked expression and said "I thought that they couldn't find Nymeria?" he rolled over onto his side and looked at me, his hand resting next to mine. "They didn't find her, she's probably miles away by now. No, my sister made the King kill one of the other wolves. She was going to have Clegane kill it but Lord Stark said that he would do it seen as she was of the North, it was Lady that they killed." I gasped slightly and Jaime rested his hand on top of mine, squeezing it slightly. "Poor Sansa, I don't know what I'd do if someone killed one of my dragons. It's like their a part of me." I looked over to the area that served as my dragons beds, they were all fast asleep, apart from Draco who was sat proudly watching the tent flap. Jaime spoke up, his voice rumbling deeply, "Eddard ordered some of his men to take her bones back to Winterfell to be buried at home." I looked at him and smiled "Thank you." He frowned slightly and looked at me, "What for?" I threaded my fingers through his and held his hand tightly, "Just for everything, you hardly know me and you've been here for me more than some of the people I've know the longest and trust the most." He smiled genuinely at me, it seemed to light up his entire face, "What can I say, I just felt drawn to you since the first day I laid eyes on you in that courtyard. You're destined to do great things Kayla Pendragon." This left me speechless so I just smiled more. I looked down at our hands, blushing slightly at the compliment. He gently lifted my head up with his hand, he had moved closer to me while I had been looking at our hands and he was now inches away from my face. His hand moved to cradle the side of my face and he stroked his thumb across my cheek gently. I closed my eyes and leaned into his touch, all of a sudden his lips were on mine. I let out a small squeak of surprise which made him smile against my mouth, but I soon relaxed into the kiss. Our kiss quickly deepened and Jaime broke it to start kissing my exposed neck. It seemed to send shivers down my body. I threaded my fingers into his golden hair which felt very nice and I sighed happily. After a few minutes Jaime stopped and looked at me, my face was slightly flushed and my lips swollen from kissing. "God's you are so beautiful Kayla Pendragon, I wish I wasn't so old." He chuckled to himself and I smiled at him. "You aren't that old." I pulled him closer and silenced him with a kiss. I pulled back for breath and he rested his forehead against mine. "I best get going before someone suspects something." He wiggled his eyebrows at me to prove his point. "Hmm, we don't want them to think you're a creepy old man now do we?" He grabbed me and tickled me causing me to giggle hysterically, "You best be careful Princess I have ways to make people suffer." He gave me a sinister look which only made me giggle more. He lightly kissed me on the lips again and walked out of my tent leaving me alone to try and comprehend what had just happened.
