Guiltless / Theon Greyjoy

37. Blissfully Unaware

'no ones going to believe you are a hog farmer if you eat them all.' Arya told sandor as he munched on hog feet.

'best part of the animal.' He told her, Arya was looking out at the twins in the distance. 'don't worry they are still there' sandor told her.

'I know they are still there.' arya snapped.

'you check every five minutes. Like you are afraid they are gonna move.' Sandor grumbled.

'I'm not afraid.' Arya told him confidently.

'of course you are. they are there and you are afraid we wont make it. The closer we get. The closer the fear gets. No use hiding behind that face. I know fear when I see it.' Sandor told her leaning in. 'seen it a lot.'

'I knew fear when I saw it in you. You're afraid of fire...' Arya told him. 'when berics sword went up in flames you looked like a scared little girl.' They stared at each other for a moment, Sandors eyes fixed on arya, his jaw tense his eyes filled with hate. 'and I know why too.' Arya said slowly moving closer.

'That so?' Sandor grumbled, getting this girl to family was harder and more agitating then he expected

'I heard what your brother did to you. Pressed your face to the fire like you are a nice juicy mutton chop...'

"that give you some ideas?'

'might do.' Arya said with a smirk.

'Go ahead then. You might get away. you might even make it there on your own.' Sandor told her as he picked up another hogs foot. 'just over the river, closest you've been to family since Llyn payne snapped your daddys neck...'

''some day I'm gonna put a sword through your eye and out the back of your skull' she told him and marched away to look at the twins once again.

"I'm going to go home." Rieka whispered. She held tight to Robb. "Try and clean up theons mess." Rieka remarked. "I love you both so much." Robb held tight to her. "I can't believe I ever loved..."

"It's okay Rie." Robb assured. "We will come back and... we will make this home again." Robb added kissing her temple. 

"Miss you already Robbie." Rieka held onto him before moving to her mother. "Look out for him, he's got a big head now that he is king." Rieka mused. Robb rolled his eyes. "Love you mum."

"Love you baby." So robb and catelyn headed back out while rieka sifted through the rubble and madness. 

Rieka went to her room and wanted to cry. She stared around at the mess and started cleaning up. 

Music played and people were laughing happily. Singing dancing music, the hall seemed filled with life. Then the music slowed to a ballad. Robbs direwolf trapped in a cage started to fuss outside while the food was served.

'where you going?' a frey guard asked stopping Sandor, arya hid in the back of the stolen truck.

'I got salt pork for the feast.' Sandor told him.

'the feast is over.'

'it doesn't sound like its over' sandor questioned, laughter and voices echoed throughout the twins.

'if I tell you its over, its over.' The guard said, 'turn this cart around and get the hell out of here.'

'I got pigs feet too.' Sandor offered.

'are you soft in the head? Turn this cart around.' the guard demanded. But they were not about to leave empty handed.

"Hello old friend." Rieka pulled out a dress of hers, one of Theon's favorites, it was her favorite too, she held it close. She put it back down and looked at her room, back in one piece. She moved to Robb's chambers next cleaning them out, then Bran and Rickons. The worked on the kitchen and the main hall, cleaning and cleaning and putting things back together. She had never cleaned so much, her mother would be so proud.

Catelyn panting for breath as she crawled ahead Robb reached out as the Stark men fell, his eyes frantically searching the room. They were surrounded.

'The king in the north arises.' Walder Frey said smirking at Robb. Catelyn jumped up grabbing walder's wife.

'Lord Walder Lord Walder enough let it end please he is my son!' Catelyn said bringing a blade to one of walder freys most recent wives throats 'He is my first son let him go and I swear I will not forget this. I swear by the old gods and the new we will take no vengeance-'

'You already swore me one oath right here in my castle you swore by the old gods and the new that your son would marry my daughter.' he spat

'Take me as your hostage but let Robb go.' she pleaded for her son. 'Robb get out to get up and walk out please.' she begged him but he stayed.

'And why would I let him do that?' walder questioned.

'On my honor as a tully on my honor as a stark let him go.' she threatened, 'or I will cut your wife's throat.' she dug deeper into the woman's neck as Robb stood tall.

'I will find another.' Walder said calmly

'Mother' Robb said his uncle came up to him

'The Lannisters send their regards.' Roose said stabbing Robb viciously, Robb dropped to the ground Catelyn screamed out slicing the girls neck letting her body dropped the ground she waited for death... One of Walders men came up behind her slicing her neck down to the bone.

'For fucks sake.' Sandor muttered following after Arya. Stark men falling to the ground, frey men laughing... Robbs wolf... shot, shot dead. As arya ran forward wanting to help, wanting to kill.

'its too late.' Sandor said throwing arya over his shoulder. 

'HERE COMES THE KING OF THE NORTH, THE KING OF THE NORTH, THE KING OF THE NORTH!' the frey men cheered riding Robb in but his head wasn't his head. It was his wolf. They had sewn Robbs wolf onto his own shoulders. Arya looked at the scene speechless.

'come on, lets go.' Sandor pushed on. This wasn't a safe place for Starks anymore, if ever. A massacre at a wedding. Robb and Catelyn stark were dead. They walked listening to the sounds of the crowds roaring with laughter at the starks demise.

Rieka remained blissfully unaware of the Boltons betrayal. She smiled as she got winterfell looking better again. She relaxed into her pillow and fell asleep after a hard days work yet again. She was asleep within a moment. She woke ready to work again, she couldnt wait for Robb and mother to see what she had done. She just had to hope everything was going alright at the twins.
