Duty or Desire // Jon Snow // Robb Stark

74. Reunited

'scouts found them a mile south of the wall said they were on their way here...'

''Hey I know you,' jon said looking around the group. 'You're the hound..." he grumbled glancing over at Jon. 'I saw you once at winterfell....' jon searched for odetta where was she? 'You're Odetta's brother.'

'that's right.' Sandor told him, 'is she alright?' sandor asked doubtfully 

'they want to go beyond the wall to.' Tormund told jon. Sandor sat up, the rest of the brotherhood waking as well.

'we don't want to go beyond the wall, we have to.' beric told them. 'Our Lord told us that the great war is coming.' Beric told him

'is odetta alright? Is she still alive?' sandor barked.

'Don't trust him, don't trust any of them.' Gendry said stepping forward 'they are the brotherhood and the last thing their Lord told them to do was sell me to a red witch to be murdered!'

'Thoros, look who it is.' beric said in Thoros leaned forward

'Boy?' thoros grinned

'Boy!' sandor shouted at jon. 'where is my ODIE!'

'Last time i spoke to a fire worshipper i was sold to the red woman! They sold me!' gendry shouted.

'Boy? I hardly recognized you' Thoros said grinning at gendry, he shot him a glare.. 'Anything to drink down here I haven't been feeling like myself'

'You are a fucking mormont like the rest of them. Like the last Lord Commander.' Tormund was busy shouting at Jorah while gendry shouted at Beric and sandor shouting at Jon.

'He was my father.' Jorah told him

'He hunted us like animals.' Tormund told him

'You returned the favor as I recall.' Mormont reminded him.

'OK we all are at the edge of the world at the same moment heading in the same direction for the same reason.' Beric spoke up.

'Our reasons are not yours' davvos said

'SNOW!' sandor reached through the bars grabbing at jons jacket. 'WHERE IS MY SISTER!?'

'It does not matter what we think our reasons are.' beric told them 'there is a greater purpose at work and we serve it together whether we mean it or not we take the steps but the Lord of light-'

'She is.' Jon said it was all that could come out, he knew how close her and sandor were.

'the lord of light-' beric went on

'Shut the fuck up' sandor said 'are we coming with you or not? Where is she? Let me out.'

'Don't you wanna know what we're doing?' jorah questioned.

'better than sitting in a freezing cell waiting to die.' sandor told them. 'now my odetta!' sandor demanded.

'He is right... we are on the same side.' Jon told them, 'and I trust this man.'

'how can they be?' gendry questioned incredulously.

'we are all breathing.' Jon confirmed opening the door. Sandor stepped out pushing jon to the wall. Davos and Mormont shed their swords pointing them at sandor.

'Where is-'

'Sandor!" odetta declared, he dropped jon and scooped her up.

'Oh Odie.' Her feet dangled as he hugged her tight. 'I was so worried about you.' He told her pressing a kiss to her head. 'youre okay? I was at the wedding and they said-'

'I wasn't there.' odie told him. 'I wasn't there.' he nodded running rough hands over her smooth face. 'I missed you.' She said burying her face in his chest.

'They said you were dead.' He muttered squishing her to him.

'Sandor,' she said through a rasped voice. 'Cant. Breathe.' He put her back on her feet.

'Sorry love.' He ran a rough hand along her face. 'I can't believe I'm looking at you.' Sandor told her. 'I cant believe you are here, really here.' Odie hugged him again.

'I'm right here.' She confirmed.
