Hazel was sitting alone on her castle, a wooden castle-shaped slide at a playground. The playground was along the shore and falling apart but Hazel loved it. Davina walked up behind her, carrying her book, a song of ice and fire.
"You left this in my car." Davina remarked handing it over to Hazel. Hazel took it with a sigh as Davina jumped up next to her. She followed Hazel's gaze to the clocktower in the distance.
"Still hasn't moved, huh?" Davina offered.
"I was hoping that when I brought you back, things would change here. That the final battle would begin... dance of dragons and we would go home..." Hazel whispered.
"I'm not fighting any battles, kid."
"Yes, you are. Because it's your destiny. You're going to bring back the happy endings." Hazel declared.
"Can you cut it with the book crap." Davina countered.
"You don't have to be hostile." Hazel remarked smiling over at Davina. "I know you like me – I can tell." Hazel assured and Davina chuckled leaning back on her palms. "You're just pushing me away because I make you feel guilty. It's okay. I know why you gave me away...." Davina stared over at Hazel as she watched the unmoving clocktower. "You wanted to give me my best chance."
"How do you know that?"
"Because it's the same reason you ran into a burning building to save the man you love." Hazel informed her.
"Listen to me, kid. I'm not in any book. I'm a real person. And I'm no savior. You were right about one thing, though." Davina remarked leaning forward to look Hazel in the eyes. "I wanted you to have your best chance. But it's not with me." Davina corrected and Hazel opened her mouth to object but Davina jumped up. "Come on, let's go."
"Please don't take me back there. Just stay with me for one week. That's all I ask. One week, and you'll see I'm not crazy." Hazel begged.
"I have to get you back to your mom."
"You don't know what it's like with her. My life sucks!" Hazel declared with a groan.
"Oh, you want to know what sucking is? Being left abandoned on the side of a freeway. My parents didn't even bother to drop me off at a hospital. I ended up in the foster system and I had a family until I was three, but then they had their own so then they sent me back. Look, your mom is trying her best. I know it's hard and I know sometimes you think she doesn't love you, but at least she wants you." Davina demanded but Hazel was shaking her head.
"Your parents didn't leave you on the side of a freeway, your parents were actually long dead by the time you got here. That's just where you came through." Hazel corrected.
"What?" Davina countered.
"You went into the fire to save Ser Harwin at Harrenhall, you appeared as a baby, in the street. That must have been when the cruse was started, you were in a haze between life and death and-" Davina shook her head as she made her way back to the car. "You honestly think I could make this stuff up?" Hazel countered chasing after her.
"Sure, where is this Henry person I'm so madly in love with?" Davina countered.
"Harwin." Hazel murmured.
"Come on, Hazel."
Davina brought Hazel home and an in tears little Hazel ran past Alicent and up the stairs, they heard her bedroom door slam.
"Thank you." Alicent said as she glanced up the stairs.
"No problem."
"She's seemed to have taken quite a shine to you." Alicent remarked stiffly.
