My Tears Ricochet // Alicent Hightower

101. Let Them Burn

"And you are not?" Davina countered. "Look where you are! Look at all the innocent people begging to be free!" Davina demanded. Davina was fire proof but she didn't know the same for her children, her family. She knew ALicent wasnt and she wasnt going to lose her or any of them to fire. "What kind of queen would you have made if you so easily are ready to kill the innocent!" Davina sneered. "You want at me? Get off the dragon, my fury is greater." Davina demanded "Get off the dragon, Rhaenys. Lets do this like real women!"

"I could end you right now."

"Meleys might be bonded to you Rhaenys but make no mistake. Meleys was my mothers dragon. She won't hurt me." Davina declared confidently.

Davina and Daemon were an odd set of twins in Baelon's eyes. They liked to be right next to each other but they also liked to hit each other and pull the others hair until one screamed.

Where Daemon was more nervous around the dragons, Davina crawled full speed ahead to the dragon pits. Baelon even had a hard time keeping up with her. She would plop down and start babbling to Meleys, she could talk for hours. Baelon was sure of it. Whenever the handmaidens lost her they knew where to look.

Viserys didn't like how intrigued Davina was with the dragons. She was so little and he thought one might swallow her up. Davina smiled back at him, still babbling, it was nonsense to Viserys but Davina sounded very confident with her babbling.

"It that so?" viserys asked sitting down behind her pulling her back into him but she crawled forward getting closer. She turned around and leaned back against Meleys and continued her story. Viserys didn't think Davina needed to breathe. She just kept going and going. Then she stopped sucking in a deep breath that puffed out her chest before blowing it out in a huff. She looked to Meleys then to Viserys and Davina laughed out like she said the funniest thing in the world. Viserys stared back at her as she tipped over with laughter she sat up spitting out the sand that had gotten in her mouth running a hand over her tongue before she started laughing again.

Her little laugh was contagious. Viserys started laughing and Davina pointed at him.

"Me?" Viserys asked.

Davina opened her mouth as though she was going to say her first real word and started laughing again. With a sigh she leaned back against Meleys and started babbling again.

"You wanted to be queen. Now I am. You are really losing today." Davina remarked. 

"Dracarys!" Rhaenys shouted but Meleys didnt fire. 

"Meleys." Davina demanded. She held out a hand to Meleys. "Get that bitch off, she's not my mother, she has no right to claim you." Rhaenys scoffed shouted Dracarys again but Meleys shook and shook, Rhaenys held tight to the reigns screaming out. 

 Davina's glare was murderous before she huffed out a breath and turned to her children.

"Are you alright?" Davina questioned immediately as Haezel ran to her.

"Threatening a dragon." Aemond tsked.

"Let them all burn." Davina declared.

Meleys headed out still whipping at Rhaenys and Davina walked as regal as the queen she was.  She saw Hellfire and Fury flying up. Rhaenys went flying off Meleys back and Haven shouted out.

"HELLFIRE! DRACARYS! DRACARYS!" 

Davina nodded pointing at a screaming Rhaenys. Hellfire and Fury let loose she was ash, floating in the wind never to touch the ground again. 

Davina turned back to her family and she knew what she had to do. To protect them. If Rhaenys was so brazen after Viserys declared it to her face then Rhaenyra and Daemon were going to retaliate as well. 

"Gotta run. Have a murder to plan. Busy day." Davina offered.

"Daemon." Alicent realized.

"You want first jab at Rhaenyra?"

"I do actually." Alicent agreed.

"Theres my bad girl." Davina declared.
