Chapter 11: A Season of Summary

I stayed in the Red Keep as much as I can after the Battle of Blackwater. I walked around the gardens with my handmaiden Shailene. When Tyrion came up to me - asking me for permission to marry my sister - Sansa - I was surprised. I wondered why Tyrion (hell even Tywin) would want to marry Sansa. I notice the betrothal devastated Sansa's handmaiden a lot (maybe because I knew that Tyrion had Shae around to have sex with him). I convinced Shae to become my other handmaiden instead of looking at other handmaidens in King's Landing.

I also became secretly friends with Tyrion. Whenever I was around Cersei, I acted rudely towards him but I told him that Cersei doesn't trust him at all.

Ever since Tywin arrived he kept a close eye on me. I sort of knew why - to keep an eye on the Starkrs rebel daughter, but also Cersei sort of have taken a liking to me. I taken more of a liking towards Tyrion as well even through I fully didn't trust him yet.

The day after Tyrion's and Sansa's wedding, I flowered for the first time. I knew from Cersei's advice from when Sansa received her first flowered that I was ready for marriage and having children. I felt proud as I walked up to Cersei's chambers to seek more advice. As I told Cersei about my first flower for which she gave me some more advice. "Unlike your sister, you are confident. My advice is be confident to the one you love."

Meanwhile, I never talked to Margaery Tyrell. Unlike Tywin and Cersei, I avoided the girl like the plague. But I knew the girl didn't like me. When Sansa got married I met Lady Margaery properly. I did not like her attitude at all - all she wants to do is to become Queen, but I knew she did not love Joffrey and only using him for the power of the Seven Kingdoms.

I spent more time with Tommen after Sansa's and Tyrion's wedding as we were planning our wedding which would happen a fortnight after Joffrey's and Margaery's wedding. We often play with Tommen's cats as we spent the spare time we had together.

One day, I was playing with Ser Pounce with Tommen when I heard a knock on Tommen's chamber doors. Tommen opens the door. "I must talk to my sister, Tommen," I heard Sansa say to Tommen. She enters and I see dried up tears all over her face. "Lyra," she says walking closer to me and hugged me. "Lord Tyrion has told me that our mother and our brother, Robb are dead. They died at The Twins. The Lannisters were working with the Freys and the Boltons and planned to kill our family. They called the slaughtering of the Starks: 'The Red Wedding'."

I felt myself slide on the ground as Ser Pounce curled around my back as I did not knock how to react. I felt tears in my eyes as I turned to Tommen. "I must go," I croaked back the tears as I headed back to my chambers. "Lyra, come back," I heard Tommen call after me. I knew that Tommen was upset and he knew that Robb and my mother would be his family after the wedding.

I sat in my chambers as I felt tears dripping down my face. 'How long will I ever see Rickon, Bran or Arya again?' I thought. 'I would probably see them in death not in the land of the living.' I missed my family especially Arya. I wondered if Arya would ever miss me but I knew in my heart she would. I did not like the Lannisters anymore even with the help of the Freys and the Boltons they've killed my family.

This was the hardest chapter to write because of Robb and Catlyn Starks deaths are feature. This chapter will be a massive turning point for the future chapters and for Lyra's character development. Hopefully you like it. It was hard to get into the right mindset for this chapter.

I'm also going to be writing a new fanfiction called "Make You Stay" which is a Sansa/Tonmen relationship fanfiction. I hope to upload it in the coming weeks. Hopefully once it is uploaded I hope you guys and girls read it.

Another chapter is up this week. I've decided that I'll be putting two chapters up on Mondays and Friday. Next week will be hard so I'll be putting a chapter up on next Monday and Thursday as I'll be out on Friday until the afternoon then helping out afterwards at home as on Saturday my sister's dancing club has a showcase.
