The howls sound at the distance. Arya looks at the window as she places a hand over the arm hugging her. She slowly sits, Gendry holds loosens. Arya pulls the sheets to cover her chest as she hears the howls coming closer.
Gendry turn in bed and for a moment Arya misses his warmth but she tries to ignore it as she hears steps outside the cabin.
It had taken a long time for Gendry and Arya to reach this point in their relationship. After telling him she was going to be staying in an 'over priced' inn, Gendry had told Arya it was 'fine' if she stayed at his place, until it was safe for her to travel back to her town. It had been a little longer until he had admitted he felt atrackted to her and even longer for the fisrt time they shared a bed for more than sleeping.
But the full moon was close, and Arya knew it could be dangerous for him.
Arya can hear the steps clearly, they are paws and she takes less than a second to know whose.
Bran is here, from all hre brothers, Bran was the last she expected would look for her, but it was the best option. She didn't even want to imagine what would happen if Robb was here with Theon, or Jon.
Or her father.
I will have to leave she thins leave soon before anything happens to him.
She looks at his back, the marks on him look red and angry, more painful than she would like.
I have to protect him from me.
