Ayra woke up with a headache she got dressed and headed downstairs the air was still thick with the events that occurred last night.
To say she was pissed was an understatement she never liked being photographed or followed Braavos gave her freedom to do what she wanted without being photographed or followed. In Braavos she made friends nobody cared about Arya Stark they only saw the Cat that spent her time fighting in the streets and hanging out with strippers oh how she would love to see that in the headlines ARYA STARK DAUGHTER OF EDDARD STARK WAS SEEN SPENDING HER TIME IN A PLACE CALLED HAPPY PORT KNOWN FOR BEING THE BEST STRIP CLUB AND OCCASIONAL BROTHEL IN BRAAVOS.
Even the freedom that came with being Cat, Beth & Mercy in Braavos she needed her family.
Everyone was seated eating their breakfast. The air was still thick about what happened last night but it changed a bit with the news of Robb & Jeynes engagement. They were having a 'private' family dinner in the most popular restaurant where Robb will propose to Jeyne in front of the whole stark family since Jeynes family wasn't near to them.
"Good morning sweety" said her father she hugged him and kissed his temple.
"Hi daddy"
"Where are you of to?"
"Tywins office he's going to kill me."
"He won't you amuse him too much".
"That won't keep him from killing"
"I hate that man"
"I know you do"
"No, now more than ever"
Now she was confused "Why?"
"I heard he bought you a car"
She grinned "he did"
"I hate that man. I need to find you another gift" his smiled was to reassure herself but filled with love and joy
"No you don't you're the best gift i could possibly have. I love you dad"
"Of course you do. I love you to"
Her mother walked to the table and everyone stayed quiet .
"How are you getting rid of the rumors if don't want to make a public statement" she said
Arya started playing with her food.
"I'm taking Gilly shopping today so that will take care of my pregnancy rumors and the dinner announcement tomorrow will help with my alleged marriage. Tyrion let it be known that I'm studying in the red keep next week so I'm not dating gendry. Everything is taken care of"
"I want you to bring that man to dinner tomorrow we have to let it be shown we've already met him" her mother said Arya felt her anger rise up again.
"I won't bring him"
"You have to"
"I don't want him there" said robb
"Why?" Asked her father looking in between his daughter and son
"I just don't, he's dating Arya thats fine meanwhile he respects her. " said robb
"The attention should be on Jeyne and Robb if he's there it'll bring attention Arya doesn't like. We're just getting used to the idea of Arya dating so we just need sometime we'll still need to meet him" quickly added Jon
"Do you not understand this makes her look wrong! She decided not to have privacy when those images got out!."
"Makes me look wrong don't you mean whore you said those words yesterday don't stop now. I'll pick up rickon after work" her face and voice remained calm as she got up kissed her siblings and father as she went towards her mother she kissed her cheek and gave her a chilling smile "Excuse me" with that she left but caught glimpse of her fathers words.
"Arya is a grown woman. She can make her own decision. But I would feel better meeting the that man it does have to be at dinner. Give her time"
She dreaded going to the office but she wouldn't back down there was a car following she noticed. As soon as ,she walked in everyone looked at her she brushed them and headed to tywins office wanting to get it over with.
Tywins secretary looked at her like she was a piece of shit. Tywin walked out and she followed soon they were headed to the conference room where Tyrion, Bronn and Podrick were already seated.
Tywin had his usual scowl, Tyrion looked thoughtful , bronn was amused and Podrick could hardly look at her.
"Way to go Wolfy" said tyrion and tywins scowl seemed to get deeper
"Explain yourself girl" said Tywin
"I'm sure tyrion has filled you in on the details I'm not dating Gendry, I'm not Pregnant and I'm not engaged" she shrugged
"What about that man?" He raised an eyebrow
"Oh god I just went over this at home"
"What are his plans with you?"
"No plans. We dated in braavos Tyrion, bronn and podrick met him when they went that's all I'm giving you"
He looked at her. "How's that man" he asked Tyrion & Bronn.
"The truth he's a soulless man, no emotions, and no sense of humor I'm sure the two of you could be best friends" answered Tyrion
"He's a bloody Lorathi bastard" said bronn
"What do you mean?
"The bastard hustled me out of money and I hardly noticed" replied Bronn
"Get to work" he replied and they left the room
"Come on stark we need help with our case"
Thankfully Tyrion didn't bring up the topic , bronn was dying to say something and podrick condition with looking her in the eye got worse. Time passed an she got ready to leave.
"Please don't go see Jaqen yet" Tyrion called after her
"Come on I wouldn't mind a few more pictures" added Bronn
"I won't ... Eww Bron you could be my Father!"
"I'm younger!"
''You're a creep"
They all laughed
She made her way home to pick up Rickon.
"Where are we going "he asked
"Shopping"
"No I don't want to"
"Not your choice"
"That for girls why can't I stay home"
"Because mom is taking Brann to therapy and Osha needs a break plus we're doing something tonight"
That got his attention he kept asking her bit she stayed quiet" what is... Please... What ...come on... I love you...you're awesome... You're my queen ... You're a warrior... OH I KNOW YOU'RE BETTER THAN SANSA!"
"Of course I am but its a secret"
"Tell me I can keep a secret"
"Promise?"
"Promise" he raised his hand to his heart
"We're all heading towards the estate to spend time with the wolves before we all started school" he instantly started cheering. They arrived at base where she would pick up Gilly .
"Hi" she shyly said
"Hey" Arya hugged Gilly "how are you ?"
"I'm fine what about you... Um we saw the news I'm sorry" she said
"Don't worry about it. Rick this is Gilly, Gilly this is Rickon my youngest brother"
"Hi Rickon"
"Hi Gilly"
They had a small conversations on their way.
"We're being followed"
"Yeah sorry about that I'm catching a lot of attention."
They walked inside the mall and started looking for clothes rickon looked bored and was restless.
"Um Rickon..." Said Gilly
"Yeah?"
"Could you help us look for things for the baby I'm having a boy and you're the only boy that could give us ideas"
"Yeah I can help"
"Smooth move" Arya whispered to Gilly.
"Thanks"
Arya had just dropped of gilly home when her phone buzzed.
Jon: Take rickon with you to gendrys. We'll leave to the estate from there.
She drove and arrived at the apartment and was greeted by Leo.
When she walked in front of the apartment rickon asked "where are we?"
"Gendrys apartment"
"Are you going to live with him"
"Yeah only when I'm at school"
Joffrey opened the door "Bitch"
"Cunt" she replied as Gendry walked behind his brother. She was surprised when tommen rushed to talked gendry but he just picked up like a toy and placed his shoulders she couldn't help but to smile at the sight
"Hey Ar... Hey Rick"
"Hey where's Jon?" She asked
"He went to pick up pizza we finished your bed by the way"
"Really? thanks"
"You're welcome what were you doing?"
"Torturing Me!" Screamed rickon who was now playing video game with Joffrey
"Took him shopping are you guys going tonight"
"Yeah"
"Yup I just need to pick up Margery "
"Okay"
"She shouldn't go" said gendry she got confused
"Why" she asked
"The wolves don't like her "
Jon arrived with the pizza and they all sat down to play and then to watch a movie.
?￢ﾛﾺ? ﾟﾔﾥ?
Their parents seemed happy to have time to themselves and Arya preferred not to dwell on why.
They decided on making teams.
Team 1: Robb & Jeyne
Team 2: Jon, Theon & Bran
Team 3: Sansa, Arya & Rickon.
Arya was surprised to see her sweet sister speeding. The good thing about the estate was the wide gate which let Sansa and Jon enter at the same time.
A soon as the car doors opened and everyone raced inside shouting at each other.
"MAKE WAY FOR THE KING OF THE NORTH."
"THE QUEEN OF THE NORTH."
"THE GREAT MIGHTY KRAKEN"
"THE LORD COMMANDER!"
"THE PRINCESS OF THE NORTH"
"THE HANNIBAL PRINCE"
"THE WINGED WOLF"
Arya didn't waste her breath and ran in first causing to get tackled by the wolfs.
"THE NIGHTS QUEEN!" A tired old looking Nan shouted.
"THE WINTER QUEEN!" Shouted Jory that just grinned at her "come on Underfoot give old Jory a hug" she got up and hugged Jory , Nan and then got picked up by Hodor.
"Still ruining your dresses" jory said nodding to her now ripped and muddy dress. They were all covered in mud
"I refuse to change" she stood defiantly
"I don't care you're Nans problem now. I'm heading over to your dads I was just here to say hi." She hugged him and said good bye. Nan & Hodor left the house shortly after. Brans friends meera and jojen were already there.
Sometime later Gendry arrived with mycrella, tommen and shireen followed by
Sandor.
They all greeted each other
Tommen gave her a blue winter rose "For you" he blushed red Arya gave him a kiss on the cheek and had to bite the inside of her cheek not to laugh at the boy that turned even redder.
"Thank you" She said and walked over to gendry "Thanks" she told him and smiled
As soon as gendry stepped into the yard he was tackled down by nymeria.
"Missed you to girl" he said pulling a bone out of a grocery bag.
Nym ran off being chased by Greywing and shaggydog, summer and ghost stayed as calm as always. The rest of the night they spent it with the wolves
They had camp fire Arya was tucked under Jon with her feet on Gendry when the wolves head shot up Nymeria decided to squish herself in between between Arya and Gendry started growling and got up on her paws the rest quickly following.
Joffrey and Margery apoearded in the door way and everyone's attitude changed "bloody rose" murmured Robb to be slapped in the chest by Jeyne telling him to be nice.
" Come on let's go inside" recluntly said Sansa everyone got up.
"Oh my god Arya I'm so sorry about what happened to you" she said hugging her tightly while Arya just awkwardly patted her back 'She's lying' Arya thought
"Yeah thanks"
Conversation was easy when Margery wasn't busy putting her 2 cents in. Tommen, Rickon, Bran, Mycrella,Shireen Jojen and Meera went to the game room.
Drinks started flowing easy. And she was able to pull Sandor aside.
"You're here" she smirked
"Wish I wasn't" he said that made her smile get wider
"You should remember I'm a wolf and just as I can easy smell fear I can smell a lie" she smirked
"Who has lied to you?" He arched an eyebrow
"Margery" she stated plainly
"When?"
"When she said she felt sorry she wasnt"
"Bitches really can't live with out drama"
"Just like you can't live with out my sister" she enjoys watching him get uncomfortable
"Fuck off"
"Rather not I want to enjoy the show"
As more drinks started flowing Joffrey and Margery left. Robb and Jeyne got touchy. Jon had a call he had to answer and was locked inside his room. Bran went to his room. jojen & Meera were in the guest room, Mycrella and Shireen had to be carried to her parents room by Sandor and gendry since they were the most sobered up. Tommen ended up bunking with Rickon and Theon had gotten in a fight with Ros and ended getting a cab to her house.
That's how Gendry, Sandor, Sansa and Arya found themselves outside roasting marshmallows.
"I need answers" said arya
"No you can't pee outside" said giggly sansa she was wasted
"That sucks" she faked pouted " but seriously does anyone actually like Margery "
"No" they all said
"Do you guys care to explain why?"
They all stood quiet.
"For the same reason you don't like her" said Sandor looking straight at her.
"She's a liar"
They nodded "she's a brat. She'll lie and do anything to get her way"said Sansa
"What has she done?" Now she was curious
You remember the fight joffrey and marg for in after they left the apartment the other night" she nodded "and I said mom didn't like her"
"Yeah why is that?"
"Margery dated my uncle renly to get leverage on her social image but then the media found out about loras so marg moved on to joffrey after about a week she made everything official on the headlines one of her biggest mistakes was making a comment about moving mom out of the senior seat of the design houses"
'Oh crap" she gasped if there was one thing you didn't do was threaten cersei about her family and fashion.
"Thats right " grinned gendry
"How is she still alive?"
"It would bring mom down if people started thinking she was jealous of a pathetic child so mom allows her to breathe"
Arya couldn't help but to laufh .
"It weird about the wolfs even summer and ghost were growling"
"If the pups don't like her then we shouldn't trust her" said Sansa
Sandor huffed "pups have you seen the size of those bloody things" he said pointing to nymeria who was aleep in between Gendry and Arya.
"Hey! Dont insult my baby " said Arya laying with her head on top of nym "and anyways the reason why she's so big its cause gendry gas been over feeding her and himself " she added poking gendrys stomach which he slapped her wrist away.
"I'm not fat" gendry defended himself
"Sure your not"
"Lets dance" instantly said sansa jumping to her feet holding out her hand to Arya
"I think not if j get up I'll fall on my ass through all seven hells"
"But that would be because they wouldn't be able to handle you" said gendry
"Fuck you teach. Sandor how to dance he'll need to know for the wedding"
Shut up wolf bitch
"Sandor! Language. Get up"
"Im not bloody dancing"
"You are. You need to know for the wedding and we could always use the excuse of you drunk if anyone comes out" sansa crapped sandors arm in a poor attempt to pull him up but soon enough sandor and sansa were dancing.
"I guess I owe you" whispered gendry in her ear while playing with her hair the actions sent chills straight to her core.
"You do" she whispered back closing her eyes enjoying the way his hand felt on her hair
