4. Without You

"Daemon our brother needs us!" Davina shouted.

"I need runestone." Daemon countered as Davina yanked his arm back.

"DAEMON! Our brother might not survive and you want to run off and claim your land?"

"Davina you don't understand-'

'I understand that Viserys is family, Rhaenyra is family,'' Davina sobbed 'but you don't care about that, do you? You just want power. You don't give a damn about me either."

"Davina that's not true you know that's not true." Daemon assured holding her face in his hands.

"Then you are going to stay here and we are going to help Rhaenyra through this." Davina demanded and daemon let his hands fall to his sides. "Daemon if you walk out this door I'm done giving you second chances." Davina warned.

"Davina don't be like this."

'Viserys said he gave us his blessing, your wife is dead it could be us. It could be us.' Davina told him.

"That's what I'm trying to do!" Daemon shouted.

"Daemon I can't leave them now."

"I can't stay." Daemon countered.

"Yes you can." Davina spat. "You can you just don't want to!"

"I want you. I want you to come with me!" Daemon demanded.

"They are taking Viserys arm to try and stop this infection from spreading any more and you want to up and leave? He could die! Don't you care about Rhaenyra?" Davina shouted her arms flailing.

"Of course I do, but she doesn't-'

'She needs her family!" Davina hissed. "Maybe you forgot what that's like being gone for the past few years but family is important to me.'' Davina demanded the tears to stay in her eyes. She couldn't be weak.

"Baby, come on, we can't stay. Lets go, marry me and we go." Daemon told her.

"What about Rhaenyra? What about Viserys?"

"Davina come on." Daemon urged. "We can go to Essos, we can start fresh, we don't have to deal with the politics or succession, just you and me."

"Daemon I want to, I want to run away with you. I have for forever.' Davina assured as he kissed her, she melted at his touch. "I've wanted this, you and me forever Daemon, it just feels like shit timing."

"Run away with me." Daemon begged.

"Aunt Davina." Rhaenyra's voice traveled to davina's ear and she turned out of Daemon's grasp. "Don't leave me." Rhaenyra begged, "I can't do this without you." Davina nodded hugging her tight.

"Daemon-" Davina began as she turned back to him.

"I'm leaving Davina." Daemon told her. "With or without you."

"You don't care about me." davina muttered. "You never have." She spat. "Gods I was so stupid." she declared marching towards him.

"I do, but-"

"Not more than you care about you." Davina clarified. "You care about what you need. You don't give a damn about me!" Davina hissed shoving him back. "I wasted so many years in love with the idea of you but Daemon i'm done."

"What do you mean you are done?" Daemon questioned.

"I'm fucking done." Davina hissed pushing him again. "I'm done waiting for you to be that person that I'm have in my head. I'm done waiting for you to be the man you never were."

"Davina don't do this."

"I'm staying for my family. You are the one running away." Davina reminded him. "Go. Run. But know that I won't be waiting for you when you pull your head out of your ass when you decide you just missed out on the best thing in your life."

"Davina don't do this, come with me." Daemon begged.

"Fuck you." Davina hissed. "I'm done wasting my breath on you."

"Davina love don't do this, it has always been me and you."

"Me, im done diminishing myself, making myself feel smaller while you keep getting bigger and higher." Davina spat. "Viserys was right, you hold to much power over me. I'm done."

"What about our great love story?" Daemon offered.

"It's about damn time I treat myself right, that I loved me."

"davina don't'' Daemon begged.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yes." Daemon answered.

"Then I will be fine without you. I will thrive, THRIVE!" Davina shouted through the tears. "I will thrive without you."
