      I woke up very early in the morning. William and his friend were still sleep, it was time for me to leave. I left out the room and Roseland wasn't up either. I opened the front door silently-
      "How about a pastry for your travels."
      Roselands husband Harry appeared.
      "Thank you Harry." I hugged him and left out of the small house.
      I climbed on top of the horse and took a bite out of the hot pastry. It was so delicious.
      I finally left and continued down the dirt road in the snow.

      After riding for hours I saw a pub, the same pub I went to months ago and there were a ton of horses outside. I tied up my horse and put on my hood.
      I walked inside and there were a lot of men, my heart started beating very fast. Some looked at me and some continued talking.
I headed towards a fat chubby man,
"Do you have some tea? I don't mind paying, just if there's anywhere else I may sit."
"Of course of course, just stand right here at the counter."

I waited and started to get really impatient. I just listened to the men's conversations. The chubby man walked pass me with a bottle of beer I thought was tea.
      "Here's your beer King Thomas." He said to the man slouched at a table with a bunch of soldiers. That name... the same name as my fathers.
      I took off my hood and turned around, I couldn't believe it.
      "Father?" I said loudly.
      The man turned around slowly.
      "Oh my heavens."
       My father got up out of his seat and I went to him and hugged him.
      "I've found my daughter!" He called out loud and all the men started cheering.
      "Sit sit my dear. We have much to talk about."
     "I can't believe I found you. I thought I'd never see you again."
      "I was searching for you weeks ago and I just gave up. I'm sorry.
      "It's okay father."

      We talked for a long time, my father his soldiers and I. I filled him in on everything that's been going on.
      "Where are you headed now?"
      "To the wall for now. Then I will be leaving and crossing the Narrow Sea."
      My father took my hand and held it.
      "You be safe my dear alright. One day we will meet again, all of our family will come together again."
      "We'll see father." I smiled and got up out of my seat with my empty cup of tea in my hand.
      I gave it to the chubby man and left the pub.

      I climbed back on to my horse and left.

***

      I traveled all day on a horse, it was dark again.  I saw another place to stop at, I was thirsty again and could use a more stronger drink. I tied up my horse at a tree this time.
      I saw woman and men. Woman who were dirty with their breast hanging out and drunk and men who were also dirty and completely drunk.
      I went inside and it was loud.
      "Oh a pretty one, how would you liked to be fuck in the ass?" A woman said with a dirty scarf on her head. The men at the table laughed.
      "I'm good I just want a drink."
      "That's sad, but alright follow me."
       I followed the lady and I took a peek upstairs. It was just men fucking woman and doing so many nasty stuff. She took me into a small kitchen.
      "Your annoying baby woke me up this morning." The lady said to the girl cleaning up.
      "I didn't mean for her to cry."
      "Yea yea whatever shut up, this is Gilly, Gilly this is... what's your name?"
      I looked at her and gulped, mother taught me to never give out my name to people unless I truly trusted them and knew them or if I ever feel the need to.
      "It's Anya."
      "Pretty name."
      An owl hooted from outside.
      "Be quiet."
      "What do you say."
      Gilly walked towards a crack in the walls.
      "They're here..."
      "What you say Gilly. Whos here?"
      The men in the other room started shouting, swords were clanging and upstairs too.
      The woman ran out of the room.
      "We must hide now they'll kill us."
      I followed Gilly into a closet as the clanging in the other room continued.
