The Bird's Chirping

The bird's chirping sounds woke me up; I opened my eyes to see a bright sky when I tried to lift myself up. I felt a heavy arm around my waist when I turned around to see it was john sleeping peacefully.  When I saw his face, I realized he was handsome, and as my eyes moved down to his lips remember how warm his lips were when he kissed me. The thought itself is giving me a different feeling in my stomach. I don't know why suddenly I wanted to kiss him as I moved close to him "don't even try," he said with a smirk without even opening eyes. "says who the one who had a boner?" I backfired.

"I didn't " he opened his wide open

"you did," I said with a smirk

"no I didn't ", he argued. I started shouting out.

"yes you got boned behind my " he quickly shut my mouth. I licked his hand, making him lose his grip around me, so I pulled myself and came out of the room as soon as possible.

I saw Ser Clegane getting ready for his journey. I walked to him and asked, " should I go with you? "

"no need my lady, I will wait in the same Inn untill evening and Rob stark said that you'll be returning back within the dawn "

" well, then have a safe ride," I said, patting his horse.

"OK, my lady just stay low.  if people get to know who you are , you will be in danger and even I cant protect you. I already feel miserable "he said, looking down to the ground.

"it's not your fault hound. I was the one who wanted this life. Just forget that even it happened "

"you called me hound, well that's different! are you fine my lady? " he asked.

"never better," I assured.

" Then I'll start now ", he said with a smile.

"wait for me in the Inn, I'll be there soon ", I said, giving him a hug.

Then he climbed on the horse and started going towards the door.

Someone came and stood near me, I turned to see, and it was Robb. "I'm really sorry, I was not able to stop or do anything ", he said with disappointment.

" just forget about it already, I don't remember anything ", I said, rolling my eyes.

"I thought, " he stopped and then changed the topic, " we will be returning before the dawn mostly."

" yes, Ser Clegane told me that"

" it's so nice of you, only you call him that everyone else call him the hound,  dog and ever other name "

" well,  even Jenn calls him with his name after all he is a knight and he needs to be respected." I said, watching the way he went. The door was shut he left the castle.

" My lady can we have a small talk somewhere else? " Robb asked me with a smile holding out his hand.

I took his hand and said, " my pleasure, my lord." We walked through the stairs, and as we reached the archery row (the highest place of the castle where a row of archers and stood as a defence at times of war, and it usually is empty)

we turned towards to see the fields. I removed my hand and put it on the wall " wow, this is beautiful ", the scenery in front of me was mesmerizing.

" I know ", he said.

" so what did you wanted to talk about? " I asked him.

"well, are you really gifted? " he asked me curiously

" No"

" then how were you able to hear the things that was happening outside the inn " he asked.

" that can be done even by you, if you concentrate. I and my twin were trained for years shutting out useless sounds and hearing for the useful one, we can even walk from one end of the room to other without being noticed and a few more things " I  said, shrugging my shoulders.

" then, you mean I can also do it if I practice "

I thought a bit and said, " no, it's really difficult for you at this age. May be I can teach your children and they will be able to do it even better than me," I said with a smile.

" I doubt that,  how old are you? "

" That's very inappropriate to ask a lady her age my lord," I said.

" just out of curiosity ", he said

"Well, I turn sixteen before the fall."

(back in the days, it was not wrong to get married at that age)

" You're too young to get married "

" well,  my sister was married at the age of thirteen and my mother the queen is worried that I will not be married because of the awful rumours flying around," I explained.

"All of them are not true. You're the most beautiful woman I have ever met, " he said, looking deep into my eyes.

" Thank you, my lord, " I said, turning around towards the fields, breaking the eye contact.

" do you really want to marry him? " He asked blankly.

" yes, I do."

" Why? "

" You know because the winter is coming and Jenn thinks me being in the north will help the northerners to survive the winter. I am the only person he trusts the most, marrying him helps me to ensure the trust Jenn has towards me."

" You need not have to marry him for that" I can sense disappointment, and I can understand where this is going; he wanted to say that I can marry him. Holy shit, what on earth is happening here. I mentally cursed and said, " and the prophecy says he will be the king one day that means I can be the queen too and ensure the safety of the "

" Shut up,  shut up with crap about making people happy and giving them a better place, " he yelled at me and started walking towards me; I started walking back, "no ruler, no one on the iron throne thinks about the common people. All they want is to keep their butt on it and all you want is to be the queen, and I can assure that even at this moment I can start a war and give you that " by this point, I was at the edge of the wall one more step I would land straight into the water down below.

" well,  that is why we are not sitting or want to sit on the thronene ", I said softly to bring him back to normal.

" you are hiding something big YOUR GRACE," I gulped as the distance between us was lessening "and I will find it out at any cost," he said, and I was about to trip; he caught my waist and pulled me towards him I went straight into his hard chest.

" no I'm not ", I said blankly, staring into his eyes.

He started dragging me towards the corner room ( the room at the corner of the archery line where all the weapons are stored). I searched for anything which could help me, but I could find nothing, not even a person.

In two steps, I was inside the room, and he shut the door close. My heart started to beat fast " you know how I felt the moment I saw you yesterday in front of everybody " I was listening carefully.

" I wanted to rip everyone's head out of their bodies bit I couldn't." 

"That hurt me the most the feeling that I  couldn't do anything hurt me the most," he yelled at me. "I can't even figure out why and now your saying that your going to marry my half brother this breaks my heart ", he said, and a tear escaped from his eye. He grabbed my face and said slowly, "this must be me, the one to kiss you," he said, "no," I said, and even after listening, his lips crashed onto mine. He started kissing me hard, and I fall back onto the ground with him on top of me. I was trying to push him away, and as an attempt, he stopped and said, " please, this will be last time ", he said and started kissing me again. His hands were moving towards my robes, and he was about to pull them off, but I immediately attacked his neck with one of my tricks, making him unconscious.

I did not understand what to do. Should I run away, Leaving Rob here? If anyone sees him lying here that may cause a problem, then should I wake him? What if he starts doing weird things again. After thinking a lot, I decided to find John and bring him and then wake him up. I started running down fast while I was about to turn. I ran to somebody "watch it, young lady? " I heard John's voice. He had a glass in his hand.

"I am searching for you, come with me fast," I said, pulling his hand and started running back without even listening to his response.

"did anything happen again? Why are you so pale?" he was shocked by my behaviour.

"it's Robb, we were talking in the corner room about the weapons and he suddenly fell to the ground and he is unconscious ", I said, pulling him running ahead.

When we went into the room, I took the glass from John's hand. It had milk in it, and I splashed the milk onto Robb's face. And then I slapped him hard across his face john gasped and said, "that's punishable" make him wake up, "OK, since he is awoke we will forgive you for once" he was shocked and confused, maybe because of seeing John here. I quickly said, "I told you not to eat that cherry, you scared the shit out of me, next time if I say don't do something you better don't do it," I said, making sure he understands what I meant.

"what cherry? Where did you get it? " John asked, holding onto Robb's shoulder.

"you will not find it now there was only one it's called the sleep well berry. I think some birds brought it here," I said confidently, making sure he believes.

" I found it on the wall and eat it. I'm really sorry I'll never do it again " Rob slowly with regret.

" Can we get out of this place, Ser Clegane is waiting for me and we should be heading back to the kings landing ", I said, standing up.

" yes, let's start right away," Robb said, making himself steady, and he walked away. John followed him, and I walked behind him.

After completing all his formalities, Rob came back to us. I John and Theon were on our horses, and we were waiting for him. As soon as he climbed the horse, we started riding slowly. As soon as we came out of the house of Mormont, I said, " well, then I am in a hurry. I'll go ahead and start my way to kings landing."

Rob nodded "yes, yes go on" he felt awkward.

Theon said, "hope we will meet soon," and then smirked.

"yes, yes there is going to be a wedding soon. I think we will, farewell until then," I said and looked towards John; he nodded, and I gave the nod and started to ride faster and left them behind.

I reached the Inn, I went in, called Ser Clegane, and started right away without even resting any longer. Ser Clegane asked me to sleep, but I couldn't. I wanted to go home and talk to someone about this, so we started riding towards the king's landing.
