Frost // Tyrion Lannister // Sandor Clegane

Sandor

Arya was practicing as she always did when they stopped walking, needle flying through the air, water dancing like syrio taught her. she was moving on top of the cliff side when she noticed a woman a large woman with armor and sword.

'People coming... people coming. you can shit later! there are people coming!'

'Good morning' the woman said approaching them. Arya stood her ground defensively, her sword pointed at the woman.

'I like your sword' she said 'are we getting close to the bloody gate?' the woman asked

'About 10 more miles' arya told her.

'You hear that Podrick only 10 more miles to the bloody gate!' she called over her shoulder and a young man carrying all the supplies came hobbling up the hill.

'Are you a knight?' arya questioned looking at her sword and armor.

'No.'

'But you know how to use that sword?' arya questioned.

'I do'

'Does it have a name?' Arya got closer putting her sword away

'Oathkeeper' she woman said

'Mines called needle' she told them

'Good name'

'Who taught you how to fight?' arya questioned getting closer. Seeing them no longer as a threat.

'My father'

'Mine never wanted to teach me he said fighting was for boys.' Arya told her

"Mine said the same thing but I kept fighting the boys anyways, kept losing finally my father said if you're going to do it you might as well do it right.' The woman told her. Sandor finally done shitting appeared behind arya fastening his belt. 'Seven blessings I am Brienne of Tarth and this is Podrick Payne' the woman said smiling over at him

'Do you want something?' Sandor questioned looking from Arya to the very large woman.

'That is sandor Clegane... the hound' Podrick said. A long moment passed as Brienne looked at arya.

'You are Arya Stark...' Brienne said looking the girl over again more closely this time

'I said what do you want?' sandor spat getting his sword ready.

''I swore to your mother that I would bring you home to her' Brienne still focused on arya.

'My mother is dead' arya informed her

'I know I wish I could've been there to protect her' Brienne told her.

'You're not a northerner' Arya remarked.

'But I swore sacred vow to protect her' Brienne said taking a step forward.

"Shit job you did.' Sandor spat.

'Why didn't you?' arya questioned

'She commanded me to bring Jaime Lannister back to King landing.' Brienne told them.

'Paid by the Lannister, you're here for the bounty on me!' Sander declared.

'I'm not paid by the Lannister's' Brienne corrected.

'No? Fancy sword you got there where did you get it?' sandor stood in front of arya getting closer to the giant woman. 'I've been looking at Lannister gold all my life go on Brianne of fucking Tarth tell me that is not Lannister gold.' He spat.

'Jaime Lannister gave me this sword' she corrected.

'The bloody gate is 10 miles' Arya repeated.

'I swore to your mother by the old gods and the new-' Brienne tried again

'I don't care what you swore!' Arya spat.'you didn't protect her so what makes us think that you could protect me!' Arya questioned. 'you were with our mother how long?'

"not long but I-'

'She's not coming with you' sandor told Brienne. Brienne looked to arya.

'Your mother wanted me to bring back you and sansa.' She told arya. 'is she here as well?'

'Valyrian steel I've always wanted some valerian steel.' Sandor said taking note of her sword.

'Come with me I will take you to safety' she said to arya.

'Safety?' sandor questioned "safety! where the fuck is that? her aunt in the veil is dead, her mother is dead! her father is dead! her brother is dead! Winterfell is a pile of rubble!' sandor reminded her. "There is no safety you dumb bitch, if you don't know that by now you're the wrong one to watch over her.'

'That's what you're doing watching over her?' she asked skeptically.

'aye that's what I'm doing.' They both shed their swords.

They fought for arya, sandor didn't really understand why besides the fact that Alina seemed to care for the girl it was the least sandor could do was try and protect Arya, for his little Killer. They fought getting closer and closer to the edge of a cliff.

Arya ran off and arya's black wardrobe blending in with the rocks surrounding them. It looked like Sandor was winning Brienne was on the floor but then he was on the ground and she was biting his neck, stab after stab, punch after punch it looked bleak. But Brienne used all her strength all her power and kept punching him until he tumbled off the cliff rolling down to the bottom.

'Arya!' Brienne screamed looking for her. 'Arya!' she looked for the girl but she had vanished. "ARYA!!" Brienne looked incredulously to Podrick. 'Where is she?' Brienne questioned in disbelief.

'I dont she was just here' podrick exclamied

'Why werent you watching her?' Brienne shouted

'I was watching you!'

'Find them!' Brienne told him, calling after arya.
