Rightfully Mine // Ned Stark

87. Stannis

Their talk with mance wasn't going well when Stannis's army arrive.

All seemed lost, mance wasn't listening, they were getting nowhere. He knew the wall was outnumbered and out matched until the sound of wildlings cries echoed in the distance swords and armor clanking together the sound of men screaming out in pain and agony death their blood dripping from them as they were splashdown mercilessly.

'Stand down.' Mance said 'my people my blood enough and I mean it.' Mance, the wildling commander told them throwing down their swords Stanis Baratheon and ser davvos appeared dismounting from their horses.

When Stanis and his men came to the wall to help fight off the wildlings they were grateful but Sasha also knew that she could not stay here if Stanis was there. He was at war with everyone who wanted the throne and he knew that Sasha had always wanted the throne. Stanis would want her dead. He would kill her on sight. So Sasha pulled ned aside as stannis approached.

'Stannis is here Stanis is here.' she told him urgently.

'That's...' He looked to Stanis then back to Sasha. Her face filled with worry and panic

'I'm a good fighter but I don't know but I could take his men all of his men.' Sasha whispered behind one of the wildlings tents.

'He wouldn't try to kill you you're his niece...' but even ned heard the doubt in his voice.

'I want the throne same as him.' Sasha reminded him 'they are killing anyone who wants the throne.'

'We should tell Jon we're leaving.' Ned told her

'You don't have to go. you can stay he won't want you dead.' Sasha told him

'You are stuck with me.' ned informed her. 'I'm not leaving you now, not ever.' he told her his head pressed against hers 'I'm not leaving you ever you and Me Against the World, remember... so if you wanna run we run.' she nodded he looked back at jon but stannis was already in front od him. 'Come on.' He pulled her along escaping into the night with only the clothes in the weapons in their hands.

Running. Sasha was running again. But she was being smart about it. If she was ever going to make it to the capital she had to live long enough to get there. They headed back to the wall sasha worte a quick note, very vague and left it in jons quarters. She hoped he would be able to decipher it.

'Where will be go?'

'Not close but not too far.' Sasha suggested vaguely as they headed back out. Sasha was sure that Stannis would come to the wall, she was also confident that if jon revealed himself as Neds bastard Stannis wouldn't kill him. Everyone loved Ned. He was a brave and honorable man. And he was all sasha's.
