Roshambo / Tormund Giantsbane

3. Killer Queen

"And as Lady Stark -Bolton, lady of winterfell, wardeness of the north. I'm making some changes around here." Salem looked to sansa, Rickon then Theon. Then as her gaze shifted to the courtyard she saw Jon and a smile spread over her face.

The Starks were back.

"I want our banners returned." Salem remarked. "I want to return winterfell to its former glory."

"Salem its jon." Rickon remarked happily.

"It is Jon." She agreed. "Come. Lets go see him." Rickon and salem ran down the steps and jon pushed through the crowd to get to them.

"Salem!" Jon declared running to her. She held tight to him.

"You are okay," Salem whispered kissing her cheek. "I was worried about you, I missed you." 

"I missed you too." Jon agreed, he smiled back at her looking her over. "Look at you miss lady of winterfell. Like a damn queen," jon remarked. "Rickon!"

"Jon!" Rickon mirrored his excitement. Sansas feet twisted in the snow. Salem had protected her from all the pain of ramsay and tyrion and joffrey. Sansa had been awful to Jon and he didnt deserve it. Sansa saw the pain and trauma that Salem went through first hand and she didnt think she would have survived what Salem went through. 

Salem was the eldest sister she took the pain and punishment but she made the most of her most certain forced relationships. Tyrion was kind to her. Ramsay was fun and rough and sexy as sin but he was wicked to his core. Salem was a little twisted herself so she was able to use ramsay just like he used her until his last breath.

"Jon." Sansa whispered. Jon gave her an awkward hug before moving back to Salem.

"Theon," jon said stiffly.

"Jon." Theon whimpered.

"Theon has been through enough Jon." Salem remarked. "This is a fresh start for all of us. Fresh start." She repeated grabbing theons hand. He offered her a pitiful smile. "im the boss boys." Salem reminded them.

"Always were." Jon agreed. Tormund cleared his throat smiling back at them. 

"Jon an introduction to your sexy sister." Tormund begged. Salem looked him over hesitantly. 

"Wilding, don't mind him." Jon mused. Tormund growled back at him. 

"Name's Tormund the ladies call me Giantsbane." He remarked shoving Jon out of the way. 

"Name's Salem, the fellas call me Queen." Salem mused. 

"Why is that?" Tormund mused and Salem took a step closer to him. 

"Because I bring them to their knees." Salem breathed back and Tormund laughed out. 

"You and I are going to get along great." Tormund declared. 

"Jon?" Salem countered moving back to Rickon's side. 

"He's a friend." Jon agreed. "Came to help but you already saved yourself." 

"I tend to do that." Salem agreed. "I'm no damsel in distress." 

"I see that killer queen." Tormund agreed. She touched her neck, Ramsay's blood still speckled her skin. 

"Tormund this is my younger sister Sansa and little brother RIckon." Jon introduced. "Salem, can I borrow you for a moment?" She nodded following him off. "I heard what you said, are you really pregnant with Ramsay's child?" 

"He wasnt all bad. I mean he was but..."

"You like the bad boys." Jon agreed. Salem pursed her lips, a blush creeping up her neck. 

"I am known to fall for the wrong men." Salem offered. "It's a bad habit but it kept me alive." 

"I'm glad you are alive. I am going to be here for you and this family, this baby. You are not alone." Jon assured. 

"I know." Salem assured. "What about nights watch?"

"My watch has ended." Jon corrected. 

"It's for life." Salem countered. "Not that im complaining, I need you Jon." 

"It is for life." He pulled down the his collar of his shirt, revealing the scars over his heart. She reached out her fingers touching the thick calloused marks. 

"What happened?" 

"Mutiny." Jon offered. "I'm okay now, I just want to protect me family, protect you." 

"What did I say about not needing a hero? I'm no damsel." 

"Winter is coming." Jon corrected. "The lone wolf dies-"

"The pack survives." Salem agreed. "Help me get winterfell back to its former glory." She requested. 

"Theon, you trust him?" 

"He's not theon anymore, he was broken, broken, broken..." Salem corrected following Jon's gaze. "Ramsay did things to him, and it doesnt excuse what he did to our family but I'm giving him a second chance." 

"You are a better person than I, Salem." Jon remarked. 

"I'm really not." Salem corrected. "You would be horrified to know what I did to get here." 

"We all do horrible things, we live in a horrible world. It's the only way to survive sometimes."
