I do not own anything but Alicia Targaryen, everything else belongs to the amazing George R.R. Martin.
According to Winterfells maester, maester Luwin, I will be fine in a week. I have several bruises on both arms and on my forehead from were Brans hand fell.
I have been asleep for 3 days, when I woke up both Cersei and Jaime were sat beside were I lay.I tried to get up but they wouldn't let me until maester Luwin comes. So I asked how was Bran but they didn't seem very happy.
" You pushed him didn't you?" I asked, I already knew the answer from the look on their faces. I am not that stupid, I was the one who taught Cersei most of the stuff she knows, the rest was from her cold side which I don't like to get on, well nobody would like to get on.
As soon as maester Luwin decided to turn up I was allowed to go, all I had to do keep a big bottle of the milk of the poppy so when my arms start to hurt I can drink a bit of it, so it will ease the pain.
Before I woke up I heard Cersei and Jaime talking about how Bran would be a cripple forever. But they wasn't pleased with that because he saw. I feel sorry for Bran he can't achieve his lifelong dream of becoming a knight. He cannot walk so there isn't much he can do other than sit in bed all day and read books, which after a while it gets very boring, trust me I know.
I decided to go and see Bran, I expect him to be in his room. I followed my footsteps from a week before when the feast was on, I came this way to take baby Rickon to bed as he fell asleep on my lap.
As I walked up the stairs it was quiet, too quiet in my opinion. Until I made a creeking noise, from were the floorboards were placed funny. Lady Catlyn looked up at me.
" It is nice to see that you are awake" she said, and then went back to her knitting.
" Thank you. Lady Stark I am very sorry what happened, if I would have been able to catch him swiftly then everything would have been fine and no one would have got hurt. If there is anything that I could do, I would be honoured to do it" I say.
I could see that she hadn't had sleep for a while, the bags under her eyes are really dark. And her hair is knotty. She had a plate of untouched food on Brans bedside table and Summer was snuggling Bran.
" You don't need to do anything, you broke Brans fall and he is alive. He is better a cripple than not alive at all. There is nothing I can ask of you, you risked your own life and caused some pain" she was referring to my bruises on my arm," and for that I am very grateful. But please you should go and eat you must be hungry" she said.
It sounded as though she wanted me to leave , even though I only just got there.
" Yes my Lady but I think it's best you eat too and rest, better Bran wake up to you sleeping and well, than you all tired and groggy" that was the last thing I said and I went back outside to the Hall to break my fast, now that I have come to think of it I have become very hungry.
While I was walking across the yard I saw a very angry red cheeks Joffery storming to Brans room. Wonder happened there hopefully he got slapped, would have put him in his place. Then I walk by Tyrion.
" What did you do?" I say, in a friendly way. I knew he would have done something, he hates the boy or rather the boy hates him.
" Nothing my dear friend only telling him what a future king should do as his absence has been noted" he replies cheekily," I am glad to see that you are wake, I need another good person around here, too many gold cloaks and kings guards around."
And with that we left to go to the hall.
Soon breaking our fast was over, finally! Myrcella did pop a question Cersei didn't want to know the answer to. " Is Bran going to die?"
There was talk of castle black and the wall. Apparently, Tyrion wants to go and visit. He will travel with the bunch of new recruits that Benjen Stark has come to collect.
He doesn't want to join the black he said, and I quote," I want to stand on top of the wall, and piss off the edge of the world."
And with that Cersei went and I followed her. Only to let the men talk of course. Men will be men! But without them where would we be? No wars for them to help protect us women, no more children, a short life we will have.
After I had those fighting matches against the boys, it has peeked my interest. I would love to protect myself, because soon Ser Barriston won't be here as he is getting old. Then I will have a new guard ,but how will I know that this new one will be as loyal as Ser Barriston?
Best be able to protect myself than not. But of course no one will allow me to train"because your a Lady". That's what they all said. It makes me angry!
Cersei went up to see Bran so I took Prince Tommen and Princess Myrcella and sat on the green were Bran fell. Things around he have been very dull since Brans fall. Well I can't really say much I have only been awake for a few hours.
There was a couple of daisies on the ground, which I thought was unusual up here in the North. I decided to pick some and make a daisy chain, while Myrcella braided and but daisies in my hair.
" Do you think Bran will live?" Tommen asked, " I really liked him, he was nice and around my age. Better than Joffery"
That make me laugh, everyone is better than Joffery. He is so cruel, hopefully if I have children they won't turn out has horrid as him. I don't understand what Sansa sees in him, a gallant young man she called him, HAHA. He is the complete opposite.
" I heard that if he makes it through these next couple of nights that he will survive but will not be able to walk, is it true?" Myrcella replied.
That was very true, everyone has heard about it. I have heard boys in the yard saying they would rather die than be a cripple. But I would not, I will probably design myself something so I could ride or walk. Or maybe learn as much as I can and become clever, rather that than die. Dying is so dull, at least when you are living and a cripple than you see your loved ones
" Yes, I want you to send your love to Lord and Lady Stark when you see them," I say
With that Cersei came and took her children and asked if I wanted to go but I declined because I saw Jon coming over. It may not seem like I am friends with Cersei, but I am. For some reason she hasn't spoke as much here as she does in Kings Landing, must be the weather.
Jon came and sat next to me, looking at Winterfell from this Angle. " I am very sorry for your arms Lady Alicia," he said politely, " but your are still as beautiful as you came in to Winterfell on your horse" I think he was referring to my hair with the daisies in.
"I have had worse and thank you, please call me Alicia, Jon" I reply. " Hopefully, Bran will wake soon, I am ever so sorry"
I lean my back onto the towers wall and rested my head on Jon's shoulder, I have bonded with him so easily, it is as if we have been friends since babies. Even though I am older than him by many name days, but nobody cares about that anymore. Look at what Lysa and Jon Arryn had. If Jon was like a father to Lord Stark and King Robert than he must be old AND Lysa was younger than Catlyn Stark. Don't know why I went into relationships it's not like I am in love with him.
" There is no need to be sorry you saved his life and for that I am grateful" he said while looking at me. He leaned in, making me lead back more. He kissed me, it felt amazing his soft lips against mine. But I had to ruin the moment and lose my balance because I was leaning back and we rolled down the hill, all the daisies fell out my hair, when we stopped I was on top of him.
I was so embarrassed, I got up brushed the mud off my dress, stuttered " I- I -urm -need to go- yeah -erm- bye" and with that I left, leaving him puzzled. Further in Winterfell I was Ser Barriston watching me.
" Did you see that?" I asked. Still walking with him following behind me.
"Yes, my Lady, saw everything. You would make a great couple. It is a shame he isn't highborne" he replied.
Oh great I wonder how many more people saw that. But I have to admit it was amazing, but I can't have him. Why do I fall for people who I can't have? It annoys me so much!
