Chapter 2: The new khalasar
People were screaming around her and the smell of blood and fire was reaching her nose.
Everywhere around her people were fighting. Some of them she knew as her dads own men but others where stranges to her.
"Run, run, run" she heard somebody yell but she couldn't move. Women were screaming as they got ripped from the arms of their dying mens arms.
Suddenly one of the strangers turned towards her. His eyes were dark and cold almost like the eyes of a predator. She wanted to run but her feet wouldn't move and he was getting closer and closer.
Fear started to fill her heart and she was sure that he was going to kill her. He started walking around her and that was when he started to change.
Hair started growing on his body and his nails turned into claws, and with a loud growl the man changed into a mountain lion.
She wanted to scream for help but nothing would come out of her mouth, and suddenly she was in an area with no one around. It was only her and the mountain lion and it's eyes was starring her down.
It seemed like minutes went by with just the two of them starring at each others, and then suddenly the mountain lion roared and jumped at her.
She screamed in pain as it's teeth was sinking into her flash.
She woke up screaming and somebody was trying to hold her down.
"It's alright, it's alright. Your safe now. Nobody is going to hurt you." she heard someone say beside her.
Her shoulder was burning and pain was shooting through it. The smell of fire and horse meat reached her nose and for a second she was sure it had been a dream. Until she looked at the woman sitting beside her. She had never seen this woman before and for moment she could feel the panic coming back to her.
"It's alright I'm here to help you." The woman said and she felt herself relax a little.
She looked around herself and realised how familiar everything looked around her. The tent looked just like her tent had looked except that it was bigger than hers. It looked like it could belong to a warrior but none of the warriors in her khalasar had ever had this big of a tent.
"You were lucky that mountain lion didn't bite you in the neck or you would have been dead now"
"Where am I?" she heard herself ask the woman.
"You are in Khal Drogos khalasar and you were lucky that he found you when he did. The infection in your wound is almost gone now but we need to get some food in your system again. I will go get some. Please stay in the bed" the woman got up and walked out of the door.
Khal Drogo, she had heard that name before. People called him the great khal and the stories said that he had never lost a fight. They said he was a strong warrior who showed no mercy to any strangers. So the slave must be wrong because why would he safe her then?
The woman returned with some food and she put it down beside her makeshift bed.
"Khal Drogo will return soon so you should probably eat your food now. I will clean your wound after that"
She nodded and reached out and picked up the food.
After a few minutes of eating in silence she decided to ask the woman whos tent she was in, since she figured it must be either one of the bloodriders tents or one of the other mens since it didn't look like slaves or women was staying in it.
"Who's tent am I staying in? I have never been in a tent this big"
The woman looked at her for a moment and a smile was playing in her eyes.
"You are in the khals tent"
The khals tent?! Why would he let her stay in his tent? Normallly that was only him and his khaleesia, if he had one, that would stay in his tent.
After what seemed like hours she heard noises outside the tent door and she couldn't help but look at the door.
The female slave had just finished with her should and was sitting beside her at the moment.
A few minutes later the flap of the tent got moved to the side and in walked a very strong looking man.
He was very tall and she followed him with her eyes as he slowly moved towards her. His eyes was very dark, almost black, and she felt like they could see everything inside of her. Her eyes fell on his braid and she was surprised at how long it was. So the rumors about him were true but it was surprising as he didn't seem to be that much older than her.
"She won't need your services any more you can leave now"
His voice was really deep and smooth sounding and it sounded like he had a little bit of a different accent than her father's khalasar.
The female slave left the tent and she felt a little panicked to be left alone with him. His eyes fell on her again and she felt like he was looking straight into her soul.
"I'm sure that you have already been told who I am" he said to her as he moved to sit down on the edge of his bed.
"So I'm not going to explain that to you, but I would really like to know who you are?"
She looked at him for a moment before she looked down at her hands. Should she tell him what happend and if she did what would happen to her then?
Silence fell around them while she was debating whether to tell him anything or not. She would probably end up as a slave anyway.
After a few minutes she heard him sigh and he got up from his bed. He walked over to her and kneeled down beside her bed.
She could feel herself getting more nervous with him this close to her. He looked her in the eye for moment before his eyes fell on the wound on her shoulder.
"It's not every day you see a woman defeat a mountain lion, and especially not on her own" he said as he reached his hand out to touch her shoulder.
"So I'm curious to know how you did that" he said as his fingers touched her shoulder. She hissed and moved away from him. She didn't trust him and she didn't like that he was this close to her.
He chuckled at her reaction and stood up to walk to the door of the tent.
"You will tell me your story sooner or later whether you like it or not" and with those words he was gone and she was left to worry about what would happen next.
She awoke early next morning and she looked to the other bed to see if the khal was there. But he wasn't and she didn't remember hearing him coming inside the tent again the night before.
After a few minutes the woman from the day before walked in.
"We will be moving on this morning. There is food for you outside and I got you some new clothes to wear"
She nodded and stood to change into her new clothes, and then she followed the woman outside.
The sun was already shining bright and sharp and as she followed the woman to the food she could feel everybody's eyes on her.
"Here is the food. Pick what you want but be quick we will leave in about half an hour" the woman informed her.
She nodded her head and picked up some of the fruits there.
As she ate here breakfast she looked around herself. Everybody was busy with taking down the camp, but it still felt like they were all keeping an eye on her. It made her feel like an outsider and she started to feel a bit nauseas.
She moved to the outside of the camp to get some more space and get away from all the eyes.
After a few minutes she felt a little better.
The horses were grassing just outside the camp and they seemed to be so peaceful standing there with no worries at all.
Then she heard a sound close behind her and without thinking she turned around ready to strike whoever was coming up behind her.
She felt her hand get caught in a very strong grip and that was when she realized it was the khal.
For a moment she just looked at him with surprise on her face but then ripped her hand from his and moved a bit away from him.
He seemed to be studying her for a moment before he moved past her towards the horses.
She could still feel his grip on her hand and she was sure that if he wanted to her could easily have hurt her. But he didn't and that had surprised her.
Why didn't he do anything? Even her dad wouldn't have just walked away from that. He would have punished the person for trying to attack him. So why didn't Khal Drogo do anything to her?!
There was a whistle and one of the horses walked over to the khal. It was a very beautiful stallion and she had no doubt about that it was the khals horse.
More men arrived with head gear for the horses and one of them handed one to the khal.
Watching the khal and his men being around their horses made her miss her home. She loved to go for a ride on her horse. It made her feel free from the world around her.
She heard movement behind her again and turned to see the woman standing there.
"We are ready to leave now"
She sighed and started to walk with the woman in front of her. This was going to be a very long day.
The day pasted by and she helped the women set up and cook the food for the evening. She leaned that the woman that had helped her was named Ivy and she had been given to the khal as a gift.
Ivy was a very nice person and she was very helpful with a lot of things.
"You shouldn't work too much or your wound might reopen" Ivy told as she looked at her with a little bit of worry in her eyes.
"It's okay Ivy I will be alright"
Ivy looked at her for a little longer and then she got back to her work again.
After a few minutes of silence one of the men walked over to them.
"Hey you, new girl. Khal Drogo wants to speak with you now" he said in a very hard tone and she looked at Ivy for a moment.
Ivy just nodded her head so she got up and followed the guy to the outskirts of the camp. The man stopped and she could see Khal Drogo sitting on one of the big rocks looking at the horses.
"I got the girl for you" the man said and Khal Drogo nodded his head as the man turned and left them alone.
For a moment she just stood there not really knowing what to do, but then she decided to sit down on one of the other rocks there.
She looked at the sky it was really beautiful tonight. It was clear and all the stars were out. She used to watch the stars with her brother and he would tell her stories about the great stallion and how he had created everything.
Tears started to come up in her eyes at the thought of her family and looked down at the ground to stop them from falling
"Your khalasar was attacked wasn't it?" she heard the khal ask.
"Yes" she answered
"But how did you survive?" he asked her and she looked up to see him looking at her now.
"My father told me to run so I ran away. I walked alone for days until I meet the mountain lion. My father taught me some fighting skills and I tried to defend myself with that, but in the end it was more luck that I killed it" she told as she looked out to the horses.
"That explains why you were on your own then. What was your fathers rank in your khalasar?" he asked after a few minutes.
"He was the khal"
A few more minutes of silence pasted between them again before the khal stood up and looked at her.
"You are not alone any more. You are part of my khalasar now so you won't have to worry about getting killed or attacked any more. We should get back to the camp now" he said as he started to walk back.
She got up and started to follow him. He was right about what he said. She had a new life now and she should start living it. Her father would have wanted her to do that.
That's it for now folks! Hope you all liked it and I will try to update soon. See ya all later and thanks for all the reviews and follows so far :) It means a lot to me :)
