Jon Snow was not the type of man to walk the streets late in the evening but tonight he could make an exception , Robb and Theon had both wriggled their way out of

Winterfell and into the Winter Town brothel and Jon refused after his experience with Ròs , to go back , leading him to wondering around the landmarks of Winter Town , waiting for Robb and Theon to exit the brothel .

He was on his way back from the local tavern , when he heard the shouts , the cries of an angry man and the blood curdling noise of a woman's screams combining and echoing throughout the cloudy night

Speeding along , Jon didn't stop until he hears the sound of fists punching down on skin .

He did not know what he expects but it was certainly not this , in front of his eyes , a woman is lying on the floor , sobbing , her hands trying to shield herself from the blows that come from the unyielding force on top of her , her dress in disarray and her long honeycomb hair covering her face .

Jon didn't think twice , he punches the man off the woman without hesitation , the blow sending the man into the wall behind him .

Crouching down to study the woman for her injuries , he realises she's only young , perhaps his age or younger , and beautiful , even with a black eye and bloodied lip he can see the girls smooth porcelain skin , her rose bud lips and her unfocused amber coloured eyes that sway wildly trying to focus on Jon until closing .

Jon gently picks her up with ease , whilst wrapping his cloak about her ,trying not to startle the girl with sudden movement .

"Don't worry" he says , softly as she begins to groan in pain "you're safe now , I'm not going to let anyone harm you now"

Looking down at her he sees the startled look in her wide eyes , as if she has never received such kindness from someone before , and he feels sad , sad that she has never known true kindness
