CHAPTER 24
Celia went up to Sansa's room and introduced her to Jaqen. Jaqen put out his hand and kissed the back of her hand smiling. Sansa thought he was a very kind and respectful man. She saw how he looked and touched Celia. He truly was a man in love with her sister.
Jaqen said kindly, "A man is glad to meet Celia's sister, Sansa."
Sansa smiled back and said, "I can't believe Arya was so mean to you. Celia said you were kind and respectful. Arya is a very stubborn brat. I appreciate you doing everything you did for her."
Jaqen said surprised that her sister was respectful also. He said seriously, "The girl, Arya, is smart and needs to learn respect and discipline to achieve what a girl needs and wants to learn is a hard lesson."
After a little while, Celia got Sansa bathed and her hair dyed completely and evenly. Sansa looked in a mirror and couldn't believe how different she looked and how the red was completely gone even from her eyebrows. Celia sat down on the floor with Sansa faced away between her legs. Celia combed out Sansa's long dark dyed hair in front of the fire.
Sansa said softly, "Celia, I wish we would have been this close always. You have been a wonderful sister to me." Celia leaned in, kissing her cheek.
Celia said smiling, "Well, we are friends now and it's my job to look after you and keep you safe. After we stay here, I will talk with Jaqen and we will figure out where to go next. We can talk about it in the morning. I will be staying in Jaqen's room."
Sansa turned looking in her sister's eyes, "You have had sex with him already?"
Celia said smiling, "Yes, Sansa, I drink moon tea when we are together every morning so I don't get with child. I have many things I must do before being a mother. I have to get a message to Robb and mother. They are in danger. I want to send them a raven wherever we decide to go."
Sansa asked curiously, "You are still getting visions?"
Celia said wrapping her arms around Sansa from behind and putting her chin on her shoulder, "They have never stopped. It's like I see people's conversations and interactions in my mind. There are different ways like in my sleep, looking into the flames of a fire, in a bowl of water and sometimes just on their own. I can't control them and they just randomly occur. It's not everyday, only randomly." Sansa nodded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Celia had Sansa tucked in with Shadow in a locked room, she went to Jaqen's room with all her belongings. He let her in and she sat her things down turning around. Jaqen lunged at her and took possession of her mouth. He kissed her, taking her breath away and running his hands all over her body.
He whispered in her ear, "A man could not stand being away from a man's beautiful girl. This man's mind and body aches for a beautiful girl." He walked past her and pulled the kettle back on the swing arm. He filled a bucket dumping it in the tub of room temperature water that had a drain in the bottom of it.
Celia took off her weapons, boots and clothes quickly. She took out her bathing items. He turned around and his cock got hard as a rock looking at her standing naked in the middle of the room. He picked her up after mixing the water, putting her items on the chair next to the tub. She groaned when he lowered her into the warm water. Jaqen took off his clothes quickly and sat behind her in the tub and began washing her.
Later, after they both were clean, she laid on top of him, resting her head on his chest in the water. They were both clean and relaxed. He was stroking her body as she from time to time kissed his chest. They got out of the water, died off and laid down on the bed. Jaqen went slow and savored every moment making love to Celia three or four times until their bodies collapsed and they fell asleep together in each other's arms. Celia missed him so very much.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the morning, all three of them with Shadow went down to have break their fast together. Sansa had her hair braided down her back and had her cowl cloak on. Celia had her man's face on and Jaqen was himself. They sat in a back corner at a table watching the door breaking their fast.
Jaqen said softly, "Going up the Kingsroad a man kept running into Lannisters and the Brotherhood Without Banners."
Celia whispered, "Rob has made some severe mistakes that are going to cost him, mother and his wife he betrayed the Frey's and married. He has also lost half of our banner men by beheading Rickard Karstark. I had a vision while dreaming last night. They are at Riverrun at the moment and made a deal with old Walder Frey and it's just to lure them there."
Sansa whispered, scared, "What's going to happen Celia?"
Jaqen put his hand on Celia's arm. She said, sighing, "They are going to have Edmure Tully marry one of his daughter's. At the wedding at The Twins, Robb broke the agreement and Walder Frey wants revenge under the pretense of recompense. Walder Frey and Roose Bolton have conspired to break "Guest Rights" with Tywin Lannisters to lure them all to The Twins. They are going after Robb, mother and Robb's wife so they will be brutally murdered, ending the war in Tywin Lannister's favor. Lord Tywin Lannister arranged the massacre and offered protection and titles to Walder Frey and Roose Bolton. The Frey's get Riverrun and the Bolton's get Winterfell." Sansa gasps.
Sansa whispered terrified, "What can we do to stop it, Celia? Mother and Robb are walking into a trap."
Celia said thinking, "All I can think of is using my wish a day to get a warning to them. I have one hidden secret that may have leverage with Tywin Lannister but I need to stop his plot first and save mother and Robb." They were done eating.
Celia said distractedly, "I need to go lay down for a while and think. I need to think of what I need to do and write a few letters." Celia stands up and walks back to the room.
Jaqen looked at Sansa and said, "Celia needs to be alone for some time." Sansa nodded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Celia took out parchment and ink bottle and a quill. She began to write a five page letter and several small notes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Celia had Sansa and Jaqen in the room together and said, "I'm sending you both on to Riverrun. Sansa, Jaqen will watch over you and Shadow."
Sansa asked worried, "Where are you going Celia?"
Celia said, "Back to King's Landing. I have unfinished business. I am going to terrify Tywin Lannister to stop this plotting, scheming and planning murders. I'll kill him myself if he doesn't. I will be able to catch up to you before you get to Riverrun."
Jaqen asked curiously, "How is a girl going to get back to Riverrun before?"
Celia said smiling at him, "Fly on my carpet and wish myself and my carpet invisible to get in the catacombs again. I'll be gone for no more than a sennight if I leave tonight. It will take you longer than that to get there. I'm sending the letter this evening"
Sansa asked, "Where did you get a carpet that flys, Celia?"
Celia kissed her cheek and said, "It's only magic Sansa, my rosebud. I found it in a treasure cave." They smiled and giggled.
Jaqen said, "A man will watch over a beautiful girl's sister. A man will miss the beautiful girl he loves."
Celia kissed him and said, "I will miss you too, my love. I have to stop Tywin Lannister from hurting us anymore. Winterfell, Dreadfort and The Twins will be empty soon without a Lord to live in them and the Twins will be rubble." Jaqen's eyes got big. Celia knew it was extreme but it had to end with the betrayers and Tywin was stubborn."
That night, Celia took her belongings and rolled out the carpet on the grass with her stuff on top. She said her goodbyes before handing Sansa a purse of gold and silver. She sat down and turned on her invisibility ring and wished for her carpet and belongings to appear invisible to everyone but herself. She was sitting comfortably with her bags tied to herself.
She said, "Carpet fly me to King's Landing outside before the Old Gate." The carpet rose up with her and her belongings into the air and started heading to King's Landing. It was exhilarating and really quite fast.
Celia was back by the hidden rusty gate in the scrub by morning. She landed and packed up the carpet. She had on the man's face Jaqen switched out with her. She brushed down her tracks and brought her baggage back to the catacombs and came out into the city and got a room at an inn. Celia ate some food from her pack and went to bed. In the morning, She would start her haunting Tywin in his room and follow him around.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That night a thunderstorm roils and booms outside splattering the window panes at Riverrun. Talsia dries Robb's hair with a towel with Catelyn and Edmure Tully sitting at the map table. Brynden "Blackfish" Tully enters the room and sits down.
Brynden says huffing, "That rain will cost us another day."
Robb said casually, "Frey will wait. He knows we're coming."
Catelyn said stating her opinion, "Lord Walder is prickly by nature."
Brynden said chuckling, "Prickly? That's what you call it? Might be the least pleasant man I've ever met."
Catelyn said, sighing, "Yes, and that is why…"
Brynden said, interrupting her, "I've seen wet shits I liked better than Walder Frey. Apologies, Your Grace. Spent too many years around lancers and pikemen."
Talisa said seriously shrugging, "I've spent the last two years nursing wounded men, watching them bleed and die. I'm not afraid of wet shits." Brynden laughs out loud.
Catelyn said seriously, "Lord Frey will take this delay as a slight."
Edmure said frowning, "He can take it as he likes. He's getting the wedding he wanted."
Catelyn said sighing, "He's getting a wedding. It was a king he wanted."
Robb said shaking his head, "Edmure is the best match a Frey has had in the history of their house. We should all get some sleep." He looks at the map and sees a letter standing up on end with nothing propping it up to balance it. Rob stands up quickly and leans over looking at the impossible thing just standing up on its own. Everyone else looks to see what he's looking at. The outside of the letter tied with a black ribbon says in dark large letters. "ROBB, URGENT FROM CELIA".
Catelyn gasped covering her mouth and said, "Celia."
Robb plucks it up off the table and unties the ribbon, handing the ribbon to his mother. He begins to read several pages passing it to Catelyn who passes it to the Blackfish page by page….
"Dear sweet King brother of mine,
THIS IS ONLY FOR MOTHER, ROBB AND THE BLACKFISH TO READ!
I love and miss you and mother dearly. I must tell you about what's to come right this minute that has been happening. DO NOT make the same mistake father did and ignore me or you, mother and your wife will die very very soon, I swear to you as my twin I know this for a fact and swear on my blood we share.
DO NOT GO TO THE TWINS! Walder Frey wants revenge under the pretense of recompense for your murders. Walder Frey and Roose Bolton have conspired to break 'Guest Rights' dishonorably during Edmure's wedding. They have made a deal against you with Tywin Lannisters to lure all of you to The Twins. They are going to kill you Robb, mother and your wife. There will be brutal murders and mutilations. All to end the war in Tywin Lannister's favor. Lord Tywin Lannister arranged the massacre, offering protection and titles to Walder Frey and Roose Bolton in return. The Frey's get Riverrun after a terrible siege, killing the Blackfish by holding Edmure hostage to try to manipulate him to surrender. The Bolton's are promised to get Winterfell after making sure the Ironborn are massacred. Bolton's bastard son would eventually kill his father and take it over to the horror of how craven he is a truly vicious traitorous creature not qualified to be a man but a monster.
You have made so many foolish errors complicating everything Robb, your marriage and taking Karstark's head was very foolish. I know what he did but it cost you more than one man's head. I have seen the visions and know what's been done. You have not been the only foolish one. Edmure and mother have made poor decisions and caused repercussions to cause more pressure on you. Leave Casterly Rock alone! You do not have the Frey's or Bolton's now!
While you all have been waging war, I have removed Arya and Sansa from King's Landing right out from under their noses. I was sad to arrive at the moment our father was publicly beheaded. I locked eyes with him and he recognized me. I said to him that I loved him. He smiled at me and put his head down resigned to his fate at that second the sword swung. I did not look because I was holding Arya against my chest to shield her from seeing it.
I have terminated the lives painfully so far of Joffrey Baratheon for taking father's head on a whim to torture Sansa. Cersei Lannister for torturing Sansa and allowing Joffrey to kill father He died very painfully. Three Kingsguards that were brutal to Sansa and the one who swung the sword. Two Lannister guards that were monsters. One City Watch leader guard that blatantly betrayed father to get him arrested with Petyr Baelish. Another two extremely painful deaths. Yes, even Petyr Baelish is dead who orchestrated and conspired the entire war, handing father over to Joffrey with his dagger to father's throat telling him that he never should have trusted him. They threw father in the black cells with a severe infection of the leg Jamie Lannister caused and lack of food or water. Jamie has gotten punished better than I ever could have done by losing his right sword hand.
They are going crazy in King's Landing right now by losing the third Stark now. They are hunting for me because if he can get Robb killed at the wedding and you also mother, I am next in line. Tywin said he would marry me himself. That will never happen because I have something he will want badly that was lost hundreds of years ago it's something I found in a treasure cave while traveling. Won't he be surprised if I ever tell him where it is. I am going to toy with him to let him know I have something dear to him. I am more than he can ever handle intellectually. He, he, he, giggle, giggle…
Sansa is now safe with me and my dearest friend, Jaqen who is a wonderful man helping me. Stubborn Arya is recently on her own now somewhere in the Riverlands. She would not listen to Jaqen anymore. He had to leave her to return to help me and Sansa. I told Arya to wait until I came to her but she wouldn't listen to anyone any longer and she was being mean to Jaqen after saving her life. Sorry mother, but I tried and pray she would be safe and return to us safely in time. The people who ordered father's death are all dead and they all truly suffered. I made sure it was painful poisons and illnesses.
I want you all, including Edmure to stay at Riverrun and pull your soldiers and bannermen back there and hunker down. I need to come there with Sansa, Jaqen and myself. We are on the way days away. I have something unbelievable I found in that cave of treasures that will make me able to help us like you will not imagine or believe but I am the one controlling this. Just know that those responsible people for starting this are dead. I'll see you soon. BURN THIS LETTER IMMEDIATELY AND SHOW MOTHER AND THE BLACKFISH ONLY! TELL NOBODY OF ALL OF THIS ALL THREE OF YOU! I can explain more when I get there. You may hear of Ramsay and Roose Bolton with Walder Frey dying painfully within the next few days so you will know I am doing it.
Your twin sister, daughter and niece,
Lady Celia Stark"
