THREATS

Tai grunted and dropped his wielded axe as blood leaked out of his torso. Arya looked lethal, she glared into Tai's eyes, her mouth slightly open as she wrenched catspaw clean out. Tai's hands clutched at his wound. It was deep and fatal… he fell to the ground groaning in agony.

Dany was in shock as she stood completely still not able to comprehend anything that had just happened… Arya… she didn't even hesitate… she didn't even stop… she had time to do so and yet… she still killed him… It was now very clear to Dany just how dangerous Arya truly was.

Tai was left to die in a horrible way. He choked and spluttered on his own blood as the light and life slowly vanished from his eyes. He looked to Daenerys before he slowly began to feel his life slip away.

Dany cried out as she watched the man who had saved her die. She quickly brushed past Arya who was also now in shock as the sudden realisation of what she had just done hit her like a ton of bricks. She hadn't meant to hurt anyone other than Daenerys… he had crept up on her and the news of The Mad Queen being alive and Jon lying to her had put her all out of sync so that she had no control over her emotions and actions. She looked down at catspaw that was now leaking with thick red blood in disgust.

Dany knelt down by Tai's side breathing heavily and crying as she placed a gentle hand to his still chest. He was gone in an instant… just like that… and in the most horrible way… murder. He had shown her kindness that she will never forget or be able to repay him for… she looked back at Arya, a look of distraught upon her face.

"Why?" she stuttered. "He had stopped… he wasn't going to kill you… he had nothing to do with what happened in Kings Landing!" Dany shouted, grief struck.

Arya breathed heavily… this wasn't what she had intended. She had come for Daenerys… only Daenerys…

"Mama!?" a child's voice called out from afar.

Both Dany and Arya looked back to see the children. Lyanna, Ed and Jai had awoken to the sounds of loud voices and screams and had quickly run over to see what had happened. The trio stopped short when they saw blood… lots of blood… and their father… laying still on the ground. Dany looked at her children with tears in her eyes.

"Don't look…" she said to them in a broken tone that they had never heard before. "Go back inside… all of you…"

"Papa…" the littlest, Jai said as he stepped forward. Dany cried seeing his petrified little face… He began to hyperventilate at seeing all the blood… and his father… dead. He turned around and buried his face into his sister's stomach wrapping his arms around her tightly as he cried.

Lyanna was in shock. She felt as if in that moment her heart had stopped beating and she prayed that this all was just a dream… another one of her horrible nightmares that she would soon wake up from. She saw her mother on the ground… her hands covered in blood… Tai's blood… and standing not too far away from them was… Arya…

"Arya?" Lya quietly whimpered, shocked to see her. "Did you do this?"

Arya didn't know how to respond to the child. It was different interacting with her now knowing who she truly was. Now Arya could see it… she truly did look a lot like a Stark in more ways than just having Jon's smile.

Arya looked over to the boy. Her jaw dropped a little at seeing how strikingly similar he looked to his father. He was Jon's little replica. There was no mistaking it… these children were Jon's children… and she was their Aunt… They were Northerners… They were Starks.

"Lya…" Arya quietly said. "I can explain…"

Lyanna started to cry and Ed glared at Arya with a heated rage. The youngling scrunched his fists tightly and sprinted towards Arya, picking up the axe that Tai had dropped.

"Son, don't!" Dany shouted terrified for his life.

"ARGH!" Ed grunted as he swung the axe at Arya with full force with an abnormal brute strength for a child. He was filled with adrenaline and anger with a need to kill the stranger who had just murdered his father. A Targayen's hot temperament he had inherited from his mother. A Stark's need for justice he had inherited from his father.

Arya had to admit the boy was strong and good at fighting! She really had to think quickly on her toes as she waterdanced her way around his hits and blows. She managed to use needle to wrench the axe out of his grasp but even then, he continued to run up and attack her with his bare fists.

"Stop it Ed!" Dany yelled, afraid that Arya may kill him. Ed was acting wild, overwhelmed with emotions. Overcome with his emotions of anger and fear.

"Listen to your mother, boy." Arya said in a calm voice through grunts as she swiftly dodged his blows.

"ARGH!" Ed continued on as he still tried to attack Arya.

Arya grabbed hold of him and managed to restrain him.

"Let me go!" Ed screamed as he squirmed in her tight grasp. "I'll kill you! I swear to the gods I will kill you!"

"Leave him alone!" Lya shouted out as she watched her brother wrestle against Arya's strong hold on him. She rubbed her youngest brother's back as he continued to seek comfort from her, hiding in her embrace.

"Stop this Ed! Arya, leave him be!" Dany yelled.

"No! She killed Tai! I'm going to kill her!"

As Ed was not by any means going to stop resisting, Arya used the handle of needle to strike the back of his head hard so that the boy fell unconscious to the ground.

"ED!" Lya yelled out.

"Sorry… but you gave me no choice." Arya whispered. She grabbed hold of the young boy and lifted him over her shoulder with ease.

"What are you doing!?" Dany yelled, now standing up and taking a few steps forward.

"They're coming with me," said Arya firmly.

"Put him down, Arya! I'm warning you now." Dany said with fire, ready to protect her boy at all costs. There was no way in hell that she would allow Arya to take her children.

Arya looked Dany up and down as if she were weak… as if she could do nothing to stop her from taking her niece and nephew… She then looked at Lyanna completely disregarding Dany.

"You. You're coming with me too."

Lyanna was shaking and crying… she felt as if everything were her fault… as if she were to blame for everything that had happened… If only she hadn't spent time with Arya…. None of this would have happened.

"What? No I'm not…" Lya cried out. "Just leave us alone… please…"

"If you don't come with me, I'll kill your mother and I'll kill your little brother." Arya spoke harshly to the child gesturing to Dany and Jai, looking her dead serious in the eyes.

Little Lyanna gaped… Jai scrunched his eyes tightly and continued to sob and hug Lya tighter for protection… Arya was for real… Dany could feel her blood getting hotter with every threat that Arya let out. She had to do something to stop her.

"What? Why!?" Lyanna freightfully questioned. "What have we done? Why must you come for us? Why do you want to take my brother and me?"

Arya looked at Daenerys and then to Lyanna.

"You don't know? Daenerys you never told her? Your own daughter?"

"Arya…" Dany said quietly… She looked as if she was about to explode with fire. It took everything for Dany to keep calm. "Don't."

Arya smirked at Dany, still trying to give her orders.

"Your mother here hasn't been honest with you Lyanna…"

Lya looked from Arya to her mother. She had tears in her eyes and was confused about everything.

"What do you mean?" she let out.

"Your mother…" Arya began with a sigh. "Her name is Daenerys Targaryen. She is The-" Arya's last few words were drowned out by a loud and excruciating roar that came from the skies above. Arya dropped Ed to the ground as she quickly spun around, looking for the source.

Everyone present went completely silent and frooze with terror. Lya's head shot up to the sky as the silhouette of the winged beast came closer and closer from the horizon. She began to freeze as her biggest fear was coming to life… the winged beast… no… the dragon was coming for them! Jai began to scream and Lya gaped thinking they were all about to die…

"Drogon!"

Lyanna looked to her mother who stepped forward to go head to head with the beast. What was she doing? Why was her mother not panicking like the rest of them?

"No mama! It's going to eat you!" shouted Ed who had suddenly awoken from his unconscious state and was lying on the ground, looking up at the beast terrified as it flew closer into the clearing!

The dragon beat past Arya who had suddenly made a run for it into the forest while she could. Ed stood up feeling his head and heart pounding, watching with a death glare as Arya dashed her way into the trees. She was fast… too fast… there was no way he would be able to catch up to her. He vowed that one day… they would meet again… and then… he would kill her… just as she killed Tai…

Ed turned his attention back to what was happening. He quickly ran over to his frozen in terror siblings and wrapped his arms around them both, pulling them back away from the dragon who was about to make its landing.

"MAMA!" Ed shouted horrified as he saw his mother walking up to the huge monster. "Stay here!" Ed told his brother and sister as he was about to run to save his mother even if it meant he would be killed. He stopped midway from the shock of what he was looking at.

Dany held out her hand to welcome the creature. The three children looked on in confusion and fear as they backed away. The huge dragon landed on the ground in front of their mother with a loud thud and they screamed fearing they were about to witness her be set ablaze or eaten whole!

Dany reached out her hand and felt content and whole again as the dragon leaned in his snout to caress with his mother's palm.

"I missed you my sweet…" Dany said, loud enough for the children to hear… they all froze… dead confused.

"Mama…" Lya whispered as she looked on in terror.
