Sansa had been at Castle Black for a week yet had gotten no sleep. Every time she closed her eyes she saw him. She wasn't eating or leaving her room for that matter. She thought no one would notice, but she couldn't be more wrong. Jon noticed something wasn't right the moment he let her go from that hug. She felt skinny and didn't look herself. Jon had to know why. He had to know what was going on to be able to help her. He wasn't ready for what she had to say.
After the sixth night she had missed breakfast, lunch, and dinner, he made it a point to check on her. Jon made his way to her room and was about to knock on her door when he heard it; she was crying. Even as children, Jon never heard or saw her shed a tear. He knocked, and when he didn't get an answer, he opened the door anyway. He was not prepared for what he saw. Sansa was laying in the fetal position and shaking. He quickly made his way over to her, careful not to scare her. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and, to his surprise, she leaned into his embrace because she knew why he was there. "He raped me" was all she said. That made Jon's blood boil.
"You don't have to tell me anything you don't want to." Jon said in a composed voice. He wanted to make sure she knew he was there for her.
"But I need to" she stated. "I can't keep this in anymore. I can't sleep, eat, or do anything. Everything reminds me of him." Jon let go of her and sat on the foot of the bed. She did the same at the head of the bed.
"Whatever you want to say, I am here for you." Jon said reassuringly.
Sansa took a deep breath. "Little Finger sold me to the Boltons after we fled the capital. He promised that Ramsay would take care of me and I was a fool for listening. Ramsay seemed like a genuine person, but that changed as soon as we got married. On our wedding night was the first time it happened." Sansa started to tear up and Jon held out a hand for comfort, which she accepted. "He told me to undress and ripped off my dress when I wasn't doing it fast enough. The worst part was that he forced Theon to stay and watch." Jon flinched when he heard Theon's name. He didn't yet know what Ramsay had done to him. "He knew I had never been intimate with someone before and didn't care at all. When he was finished with me, he locked me in that room and told me he would be back tomorrow." Sansa broke when she was done talking.
Jon had been trying to take in everything Sansa had said. He finally spoke up "I am going to kill him" was all he managed to say.
"Please don't." She took a moment before she said something that shocked Jon. "I need to do it."
"Sansa, I know he did a lot to you, but..."
"No, Jon, I need to be the one to do it. I need to be the one because then, and only then, will I finally be able to put him behind me."
"Okay, but only if I can beat his ass first." Jon said
"Deal." She took a moment. "Can you stay with me tonight? At least until I fall asleep?"
"I will do anything for you" was all Jon had to say.
