Arya

Arya had been travelling for a week now, never looking back. Arya spurred her horse forward seeing The Inn of The Crossroads in the distance. It should have taken longer to get there but Arya was one of the best riders in the North, or she was before the war started and it helped that Arya had only stopped a few times a day to give herself and the horse a break. She hadn't slept in two days, Arya didn't want to stop, but she knew The Waif would be hot on her heels and she would know exactly where Arya was going, and that scared her.

She knew she shouldn't stop but she had ridden her horse almost to the ground and it needed a rest. She also needed to sleep. It had been just over a moon since she had last seen this Inn, then she was so excited to be going home, all she wanted to do was go home, but it was a disappointment, yes she had a sister for that short amount of time, but when she killed Arya, Sansa would be better without her, what she was planning of doing to Cersei Lannister there would be no going back. She should have just gone to Kingsland but now she has wasted a moon of her time, but she had a moon to pan what she was going to do to Cersei. There was Illyn Payne, but Arya had known what she was going to do to him as soon as she had made her list. And then there was The Mountain, she would be happy to see him fall to his knees. Arya smelt the food from a while away and heard her belly grumble.

Arya told Nymeria to keep the pack away from the inn and she would see her tomorrow. Nym bounded off and Arya made the last hundred meters to the inn. Arya hoped down and gave the stable hand his payment to look after her horse making sure it was well feed and rested. She gave him a small bit more then he was asking but she knew winter was here and she had seen stable hands, maids work harder than all the Lords but still making just enough to feed their families if they were lucky.

Arya entered the inn and booked a room for the night, it wasn't overly crowed but it was full enough. Arya thought it was better to eat down here with everyone so if she needed to she could blend in. She ordered and waited. Soon Hot Pie came and sat down, Arya liked Hot Pie he was simple and happy, almost innocent, almost. He has asked where she had gone and Arya had told he Winterfell, but she needed to finish something she started all those years ago when she first met him. He had told her he didn't understand why she would leave her family as that was all Arya could talk about when she travelled with him. She told him she had changed but she needed to do this to find peace. He only nodded his head with an airy expression on his face.

He left her shorty after making her promise to see him before she left. She had promised. Her thoughts drifted back to Jon wondering where he was at the moment and what he was thinking. Did he know about The Waif yet? Did he understand? Or did he still think she poisoned herself. After all her time in The House of Black and White after all her training those simple words had hurt her more then all her training put together. Her stomach ached again as Arya was even more confused on her own feelings towards Jon. Arya shook herself out of her thoughts, she couldn't let him distract her from the mission. When she reached Kings Landing she would need her full attention to execute those people on her list and finally finish her list.

The next morning early, she said good bye to Hot pie and headed off, she had to admit she was feeling better, stronger and her horse looked better too. She met up with Nym and the pack and cantered towards Kings landing, she would be there in a few days. Ilyn Payne was next to be crossed off her list
