The Hound, The Imp, and The Cripple // Sandor Clegane

Bran

'That was very stupid of you tyrion.' Kitty was in the garden when he finally found her. The king had returned and so had jaime. While looking for kitty tyrion saw jaime and cersei whispering no doubt about him and what a vile little man he is. But finally he had found kitty. She was alone with a ukulele in her arms. She continued to strum softy as she spoke. 'Are you in trouble?'

'Me? Im always in trouble.' Tyrion informed her. 'Might as well be in trouble for a good reason once in a while.' He joked as he sat down next to her.

'Did the queen tell the king?' She asked quietly

'She did.' He replied hoping she would look at him but she kept her eyes focused on her fingers plucking away.

'And what did he say?'

'He laughed.' Tyrion said with a smile. Then kitty looked at him surprised. 'There is no love between the king and queen... He laughed and said good. That the bitch deserved a good slap and the little twat too.' Tyrion smiled, he knew he liked Robert. Okay that was a lie. He didn't like Robert but he had his moments were Tyrion really liked the fat man.

'He called his wife a... bitch?" she really didnt like to swear "and He called his son a twat?" Kitty couldnt believe what she was hearing.

'Yes indeed my dear."

'So you are not in trouble then?' Still looking at him and he at her he grasped her hand.

'No. But I wouldnt care if i was. Because i would do it all again for you.' Kitty couldnt believe what she was hearing.

'Why me?' He cocked a brow at her question. 'Why me?' She repeated. 'Im nothing special im im im... i dont know what i am but im not worth putting yourself in danger for with the queen and the prince.'

'There is no punishment. i am fine my dear.' He informed her again.

'But what if you werent? What if she had you killed? The look on her face was v-viscous.' Kitty stammered.

'So? i would die standing up for the most wonderful woman in all westeros. I would be okay with that.'

'Why me?' She repeated. He reached For her face and held it in his hands.

'Because ive never felt this way before. Ive never wanted someone as i want you. Ive never thought about a real future with a woman. With children and love and the way you described love to me last night. I never once thought that way but i had all night to ponder our talk and i couldnt get you out of my head. I dreamt about you woke up wishing you were with me.' His hands slide down her arms to hold her hands. The ukulele long since abandoned next to her feet. 'I never thought i could be capable of love. Of being loved and loving someone with my whole being but then i met you and its like everything just clicked right into place.' Kitty couldnt breathe was he really saying these things to her. Declaring his love for after just one day. She had to be dreaming. She bit the inside of her lip. She was awake. This was happening. He was doing this. 'And when joffery started to say such creul things i knew if i didnt do something i would never forgive myself you allowing him to treat you so poorly.' Her chest heaved as she tried to breathe his words sinking in.

Kitty didnt know what to say so she kept quiet and kept her eyes on his.

'My dear i am falling in-'

'Ahhh' a deathening scream rang out that startled them both from their trance. They rushed to the screaming to find bran laying lifeless on the ground.

'I told him not to climb i told him not to climb!' catelyn repeated as she sobbed holding brans head in her lap until the maester came. Kitty took a step forward not believing her eyes but her mother yelled stay back. Kitty locked eyes with her mother and only saw rage. As if to say why couldn't it have been you?
