Fire and Blood

Chapter 39

The ride was long and hard. Halfway through Jon met with wildling men. They were strange. One of them, was obsessed with Brianne, or as he called her, the big woman. They were heading to eastwatch. It was relatively close to Winterfell.
"I sent a Raven to Winterfell. Lady Brianne shall meet you at the gates." Jon says as we part ways. Things has been rocky between us since the night I rejected him. We shared one more kiss. It was an accident. I was wound up over what he says I didn't know what came over me, it wasn't love, maybe guilt.
"Goodbye Jon." I say kissing his cheek.
"Bye Uncle Jon!" Alicent says swinging her arms around his neck.
"Bye uncle Jon!" Robb says hugging him too.
"Mummy I want Jon to stay, he calls me pretty!" Alicent says as they part ways, I hear Jon laugh in the distance.
"Hush now, you shall see him soon." I say and she goes into a mood.
"Lady Roslyn." Brianne says as I get onto the pathway to the Winterfell gates.
"Is that the big lady the big man spoke about?" Robb whispers as she gets close.
"Yes, this is Lady Brianne, she looked after you as a baby." I say and she smiles.
"They live." She says I nod.
"You have a wildling admirer I see." I say and she scoffs.
"God he never leaves me alone." She says and I laugh.
We enter the Gates and I see Sansa and Arya waiting for me, I run up to them.
"Sansa! You look all grown up!" I say hugging her tightly.
"Arya! You look like a true warrior!" I say as she joins the hug.
"Who are these two?" Arya says looking at Alicent and Robb. I beckon them over.
"They live!" Sansa says getting down on their level.
"This is Alicent and Robb. My children." I say to Arya, she looks impressed.
"These are your Aunt's Sansa and Arya." I say and Alicent runs up to them.
"You have red hair like my mummy!" She says hugging Sansa.
"You have a sword! I've been sword fighting, I'm really good!" Robb says going over to Arya.
I leave them both to their conversations with the twins.
"Roslyn." A voice says behind me,
"Bran!" I yell running over to him.
"Your a man now." I say hugging him, he barely notices.

That evening we all get a Raven sent to us.
"It's an invitation to King's landing."  Sansa says reading it.
"Brianne, you go in my place." She orders.
"My lady, you are the Lady of Winterfell." Brianne protests.
"I am, and you will represent my interest at this gathering as you see them." Sansa orders.
"They invited you, they want you there." Brianne protests again.
"I will not set foot in King's Landing while Cersei Lannister is queen. They want another Stark prisoner, they can come and take me. Until then, I'll remain where I belong. I have work to do here." She says, tending to the fire.
"It's not safe." Brianne says.
"Ser Jaime will be there. You said he treated you honourably before." Sansa says, my body freezes, Jamie is alive?
"I'm not worried about me. It's not safe leaving you with Littlefinger." Brianne says
"I have many guards who'd happily imprison him or behead him whether or not you're here." Sansa says, i snap out of my freeze.
"Jamie is alive?" I yell and they all look at me.
"He never died." Sansa says, looking at me weirdly.
"No, I watched him die." I say, looking around the room.
"Roslyn, Jamie isn't dead." Sansa says.
"Let me go with you." I ask Brianne.
"No, it's not safe." She says back.
"I have been lied to, Daenerys told me he was dead, Jon told me he was dead, Jon tried to convince me to marry him on the fact! I am going to King's landing I am going to Jamie." I order and Sansa stops me.
"You are staying in Winterfell, on my orders." She commands.
"Fuck your orders." I say exiting the room.
"Your not leaving." Arya says blocking the door.
"Go away Arya." I say and she doesn't move.
"Please." I beg, she still doesn't move.
"Go to your chamber, if you dare to leave, I will know." She threatens.
"I love him." I say Before going back to my chambers.

I watch as Daenery's dragon crosses winterfell, she requests my presence.
"My queen." I say bowing down to her.
"We are going to King's Landing, we need your support." She says, I nod.
"Is Jamie alive?" I ask and she looks at me.
"Yes."
"Why did you keep it a secret?" I ask
"Tyrion advises it." She says, I nod.
"Come." She says leading me to a boat.  As soon as I get on I see Tyrion.
"You son of a bitch." I say pushing him against the wall
"You told me Jamie was dead!" I yell and unsullied men pull me off him.
"It was for the best." He says and I spit at him.
"I'll kill you the next time you lie to me." I say before Alicent and Robb enter.
"Mummy!" They yell running up to me I shoot Tyrion a look before leading the twins to their chambers.

We marched to kings landing, I couldn't wait to see Jamie again. Jon was nowhere to be seen, I hoped he was dead after the stunt he pulled. A trumpet blares. Men howl and whoop in the distance, accompanied by thundering hoofbeats. The Dothraki crest the hill behind the disciplined unsullied army. They are savage and shrieking. They ride through and past the Unsullied. That shows were near. I am called to the front of the March, I leave the Twins in the care of my maids and make my way there.
"Welcome my lords, your friends arrived before you did." Bronn says, I smile at him, I always liked Bronn. I finally found Jon, he must not have realised I was here either as his face went pale as he saw me.
"I've been sent to escort you all to the meeting." Bronn says leading the way, I go up to him.
"I've missed you." I say hugging him.
"Aye, it's been boring without you." He says laughing.
"Keep up." Tyrion yells, i roll my eyes.
"See you up there." I say and he nods.
"I thought you were dead." I say approaching Sandor.
"I thought you were too." He says, I hug him.
"Thank you." I say, he nods.
"Least I could do". He says as we enter the dragon pit.
