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

Tywin

Everything was coming up roses... until it wasn't.

"We caught a pretty one!" the men yelled as kitty was dragged away from Tyrion. Where was bronn when he needed him? Tyrion thought as he stomped back around to see them men tossing kitty around them.

'Enough!" Tyrion demanded and they looked over at him only for a moment stopping but then saw the size of the man and kept going with their game of pass the kitty.

'Who should be first?' one said and kitty screamed so loud the men dropped her. she crawled away only to get grabbed by her ankle.

"BRONN!" Tyrion yelled and suddenly he arrived. 'Where the fuck where you? We needed you!"

"Taking a shit.' He said calmly as he drew his sword. 'let the lady go.' Bronn said pointing his blade at the nearest one throat.

'no I think we will keep her for payment for your lives.' The leader, Tyrion thought as he moved closer, cautiously.

'you don't want her, you want gold.' Tyrion said trying to give them something better than a pretty girl but he didn't know the last time these men saw a woman so that might be difficult.

'you don't look like you got gold?' one said looking him up and down.

'well no not on me right this minute, but you see I'm Lannister and lannisters always pay their debts.' Kitty had heard him say this line so many times this past few weeks together she was sure she could say it like a true Lannister if need be. 'but I can get it for you. Gold and lands and anything you want, but you cant hurt her.' Tyrion said still easing closer to kitty her scared face pleading to him to save her.

'I can think of a payment we can have right now!' one grumbled grabbing kittys dress and giving it a tug, she screamed and tried to pull away but he was too strong his grip only tightened.

'No no please dont.' Tyrion tried to get them to release her but they looked at her like the last chicken in a bar. Hungry wild eyes. 'My father will give you all the riches and land you desire but only if my friends and i are unharmed.'

'Is it ture he shits gold? One asks

'Yep and pisses rainbows too always with a pot of gold on the end.' tyrion smirked at kittys statement it was unlike her to talk as such but he loved it. They had finally agreed and let kitty go, she ran to Tyrion and then bronn, bronn kept a hand on her waist supporting her as they moved.

When they reached the edge of camp tyrion smiled. They had made it and they were going to be safe at last. His father would pay the men and kitty would be able to get off her leg.

Tyrion took a step forward putting kittys hand in his but she was pulled out of his grasped.

'we are keeping her for leverage.' Tyrions eyes shot back at them. Kitty looked terrified down at him.

'No. You will get your money. You can keep bronn as leverage-' Tyrion began.

'Hey-" bronn said offended. But he would rather have him waiting with the mongrels then little kitty.

'No we dont want bronn we want her if things turn south.'

'That is not- tyrion started but kitty took off at a sprint her leg shaking as she ran as fast as she could she stumbled down the hill and rolled to a stop at a knights feet. He had his sword pointed at her throat.

'No stop!' Tyrion yelled running after her bronn got there first and helped her up unsheathing his own sword.

'Dont point that at my lady aye?' Bronn put a protective arm around her.
