Anna's POV

"I just want to go home." Arya says sadly, as we walk along the empty road, no carriages in sight. Yoren walks in front of us, with a map in his hands.

He is leading us to the group of new recruits for the Night's Watch, where we are to blend in as boys until we pass Winterfell, which in my case, will not be my final stop. I need Jon. And I need to find Melissa Snow.

"What do you think I'm trying to do?" Yoren snaps.

"You should not speak to her like that." I answer him, and he stops in his tracks, turns and stares at me. He walks slowly towards me.

"Like what? You're not high born ladies anymore, you're boys. I can speak to you however I like." He says, "And if it wasn't for me, you both would have been captured for trying to climb onto the stage."

We stay silent, as he turns back around and carries on walking through the greenery. There is a cold breeze, which I may only be able to feel because of the lack of hair on my head that I now have. It is like a phantom limb, I want to stroke my hair, but it is not there anymore.

"There!" Yoren shouts, and he points at a wagon, within it was three men, and around twenty others sitting along the side of it. They rest by the side of the road, and I slow as we begin to walk up to them.

"Lads! Two more new recruits for you! Caught 'em stealing some bread!" Yoren chuckles as he talks to the burly man who also wears only black, and he shakes his head.

"Bloody little boys nowadays. You two, come here." The man beckons us towards him with a chapped finger. I push Arya behind me as we walk up to him.

"What are your names, little boys?" Does he believe I look like a boy? With just my hair cut short?

Arya looks to me worried. What were our names?

"Arry. This here is Arry." I nod to Arya, trying to put on a more common accent, making my voice deeper than usual.

"And you?" He lifts an eyebrow, eyes focused on me.

"Andy. My name is Andy." I watch him cautiously, but he nods, satisfied with my answer.

"Alright Andy, Arry," he says with a gruff voice, "Go join the others."

I thank him, and pull Arya along as we walk towards the recruits.

"I can't do this." Arya whispers to me, as the men's heads all look up at us.

"Just leave the talking to me, don't worry." I mutter back, as the men in the cage begin to rattle on the bars.

"Oi! Little boys! Come here!" The bald man yells, I let go of Arya's wrist, and walk over.

"What?" I ask, in a deep voice.

"Gimme some water!" He asks, more of a demand than a question. Another man asks the same question, while the last man in the cage sits calmly on the side, looking at me.

"A man apologises for his companions. He does not get to choose them." He says to me, pulling a long hair from his face.

The other two shout abuse towards me, but he still continues to sit still.

"What is your name, boy?" He asks me, and I look to Arya.

"This is Arry, and I'm Andy. What's yours?"

"Jaqen H'ghar." An uncommon name, maybe foreign.

I walk away from them as the other two get even more vicious, but Arya walks up to them, poking them with a stick.

I see three other boys around the same age as me sitting by the stream, and I walk towards them. Two of them look around Arya's age, and the other the same as my older sister Marienne.

"Look Hot Pie, just wash it like this!" The blonde haired boy demands Hot Pie, the chubby boy sighing in response.

"I don't know how to, Lommy! I've never had to do it before!" He says to the blonde boy, who must be called Lommy.

"Just shut up will you both!" The older boy demands, relaxing with his head hanging back. He opens and eye, and looks up at me.

"Do you need a piss or something mate?" He asks, and I am taken aback by his language.

"Uh.. no, mate.. thought I might meet some of the other recruits.." I stutter slowly, and he furrows his eyebrows, but nods all the same. He scoots over a little, leaving room for me to sit.

"I'm Gendry. This is Lommy and Hot Pie."

"I'm Andy." He looks at me suspiciously.

"Sure." He says, shaking his head and laughing.

"What?" I ask him abruptly, and he just stares at me in disbelief.

"Nothing, nothing.. just wondering why they're letting females in now." He says, lowering his voice to me so Hot Pie and Lommy don't hear.

"I'm not a girl!" I quietly reply, staring at him angrily. "I'm a boy!"

Gendry snorts, looking across the stream.

"If you're a boy, then I must be a White Walker. My arse are you a boy!" He laughs, and the other two look at him, but look away.

"Shut up will you! No one can know, alright?" I tell him, and he nods his head to Arya, who continues to stand by the cage, talking to Jaqen.

"No one can know about her either, I'm guessing?"

"No."

Cersei's POV

"Foolish girl." I say out loud, rolling up the parchment that Littlefinger had handed me.

He raises his eyebrow. "What do you mean, my Queen?" As much as I detest Peter Baelish, I am able to rely on him.

"The girl is stupid enough to think that the Kings Guard are not tracing her steps. Not everyone was fooled by the little stunt she pulled at her own execution." My words roll off of my tongue in a bitter and sharp manner, just as always.

"What do you plan on doing once they have caught her?" He questions me, and I throw my hands in the air.

"Is it not obvious, Baelish. The girl must be executed. Ravens have been sent all around the South, directing the citizens to send us any tips on her whereabouts and they will receive a hefty reward. And we both know the citizens of Westeros will do anything to earn a few extra shillings." Littlefinger smirks at me, nodding his arrogant little head.

"And I have also sent a raven to Robb Stark, the very man that we are battling against. We will give him key locations vital to his army if he helps us to turn her over."
