Love In The Dark - Re Writing!

Absolute

A knock wakes me up, I turn to see that Aemond is no longer in the room. Why does he always do that?

I get up and answer the knock. A knight in silver hands me a letter.

"It's urgent, it's from the queen." He whispers before scurrying off into some hallway.

I open it to see some regular catch up yada yada blah blah, but then I see something that catches my eye.

'You need to take care of Otto tonight, we will strike at dawn in two days' time. Burn this once you're finished reading it.'

Oh damn.

I snap back to reality and throw the note in the fireplace before walking out and going into my chambers, closing and locking the door behind me.

I get on my knees and bow my head with my hands in front of me.

"What do I do? How do I do it? What do I say after it's done?" I whisper in prayer.

Then it clicks. He's attacked me once before, why wouldn't he do it again and I act in 'self defense'.

I'm so smart. Also I'm with child so he would have extra reason to hate me since I'm a "No good whore." Who also happens to be a bastard.

I'll do it tonight at dark. I'll wait till most are asleep and I will find him alone in his chambers. He works at night in his room. Aemond says that he does it because it helps him clear his head but I think he and Lord Larys meet at the night and discuss their evil doings and brag about whose is worse.

I'll strap a dagger to my thigh under my dress and say that I put it there because of all the creeps that roam the palace halls at night.

I won't feel bad, at least I don't think I will.

★゜・。。・゜゜・。。・゜☆゜・。。・゜゜

It's dark out, I peak my head out and see no movement.

I make my way to Otto's room knocking on the door.

He opens it and lets me in.

Once I walk in he holds a knife to my stomach.

"I know what you're here to do. We noticed the guard that had been gone for weeks, do you really think us fools?" He asks.

"He told me and Lord Larys of  your plan to kill me, but that's all he said nothing more and trust me on this I know there's more." He says pressing the knife harder to my stomach making me wince

"If you tell me what your family plans then I will let you walk out of here with your child still inside you and we won't ever speak of this incident. But if you don't I will carve the babe out while you're still alive and hang it by the cord painting traitor with your blood along the palace walls." He says sternly.

"So speak." He pushes me against the wall.

"A son for a son. That's all she wrote." I say, lying.

He laughs and puts the dagger back in his pouch.

"Get out. Go back to your room and lock yourself in there so I don't change my mind and kill you whilst you sleep." He says.

I walk out and run to my room, closing the door, locking it and piling chairs at the front of them.

I take off my dress and check my stomach for any markings and don't find any.

I lay in my bed with my arms wrapped around my stomach.

"I won't let anything happen to you little one." I whisper. 

I fell asleep while humming an old folks song mother used to sing to me and Jace when we were little. Oh how I miss my family. We may have been a little loony but we weren't this dysfunctional.

★゜・。。・゜゜・。。・゜☆゜・。。・゜゜

I hear clattering.

I open my eyes and sit up seeing guards try to push through my doors.

I grab a dagger and stand in a corner. Once they break through they come up to me putting their hands up in a way to calm me down.

"Miss we're here to take you home before the fighting starts." One of the men speaks.

"No, that will happen tomorrow, not today." I say

"Something happened, it has to start today, it can't wait another day." Another man speaks.

"Okay, let me grab my things." I turn around before quickly turning and throwing my dagger at the man's throat and grabbing the other one next to me pressing against the second man.

"Why are you really here?" I ask pushing him against a wall.

"Rhane!" I hear yelling so I turn my head to see Aemond.

The guard grabs my knife flipping it around on me holding it to my throat.

"Don't!" He yells to Aemond.

Aemond then puts a hand up to defuse the tension. He starts putting his sword down but then he grabs a dagger and throws it hitting the man directly between the eyes.

I run to him and collapse in his arms, tears streaming down my face.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" He asks frantically checking my face and neck.

"I'm okay. What's happening?" I ask him.

"Kings landing is dividing, it's chaos out here." He says.

"We have to leave." He admits. "Now."

"Where?" I ask.

"Anywhere, but no one can know where we are going." He says.

"Okay." I say.

"Get dressed, we're leaving as soon as possible."

"Okay." I kiss him before turning to get changed quickly.

Authors Note-
