Sweet Nothing // Daemon Targaryen

17. She Wept

Baelon wept over Alyssa's body for what seemed like an eternity. Davina couldnt bear it. She couldnt let her mother be burned.

it was a girl, a little girl. Davina clung onto Viserys as their mother was wrapped and set before the pyre.

Davina didnt remember ever crying so much. Then screaming until her voice was hoarse. She didnt want to live in a world without her mom. She wept and wept and cried her eyes dry but it wasnt enough.

Dracarys was shouted and Davina ran forward unable to cope with it. She wouldnt let her mother be burned. Baelon froze, paralyzed with fear as Davina ran head first to the flames. Daemon and Viserys ran towards her but the heat was too hot, they faltered back.

As the smoke cleared they all expected her to be dead. Two bodies for the pyre. Baelon was weeping again and Daemon screamed fanning at the smoke as he pushed forward.

"DAVINA!" Daemon shouted through tears. "DAVINA! PLEASE!" Daemon begged. His eyes were full of tears, his vision blurry that when Davina hugged him, her clothes burned from her body ashes littered her skin he wasnt entirely sure he wasnt dreaming or hallucinating or dead himself.

But she held tight to him and Viserys wrapped his cloak around her as she cried into Daemon.

"I don't want her to be gone."

''Do you think im going to be a mom one day Viserys?'' Davina pondered

''I think so.'' Viserys agreed.

''You think I will be a good mom?'' Davina asked resting her head against him.

''The very best.'' Viserys assured.

'I miss mom.'' Davina whispered.

''I know you do love. I miss her too.''

''Could you stay here tonight?'' Davina asked sheepishly.

''Of course.''

''I'm not scared.'' Davina informed him

''You? Never.'' Viserys agreed a gentle hand running along her back.

''I just don't want to be alone.''

''You got me and Daemon you will never be alone. And father.'' Viserys thought although he wasnt much help after Alyssa died. ''Mom loved you most you know''

''I know,'' davina agreed and viserys chuckled. Davina was always blunt. She said what she thought and what she meant no sugar coating it.

''You are everyone's favorite.'' Viserys told her kissing her head.

''I know.'' Davina agreed. ''Can you sing me a song?''

''You want my awful voice?'' Viserys questioned and davina nodded into him. ''Alright then.''

Viserys cleared his throat dramatically and Davina laughed into him

''Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee, Little Jackie Paper, loved that rascal Puff, And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff."

"Viserys is that the words or are you making stuff up?" Davina questioned.

"Why would I lie to you?" Viserys told her. "May I continue love?"

"Continue." Davina agreed

''Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea, And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee, together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail."
