9. Threats

Sandor Clegane/ Dear Reader out now

'You might find it difficult to rule over millions who want your dead,' Tyrion told her 'half the city will starve when winter comes and the other half will come here to kill you. The gold plated thugs just gave them their rallying cry a king that slaughters babies... You don't even have the decency to deny it." Tyrion told her ashamed until he realized. 'It wasn't you who gave the order... was it?' Tyrion questioned seeing her wicked sneer falter. 'Joffrey didn't even tell you. Did he tell you? I imagine that would be even worse.' Tyrion added.

"Im starving," Sandor remarked. "I will be back." 

"Okay." Vaera felt his presence leave her and she felt colder without him by her side instantly. Sandor hesitated moving back to her side. 

"You hungry?" He was always eager to rid himself of joffrey but he realized he didnt want to leave vaera. 

"Im.... I could eat." Vaera agreed. "I just want to... check on my siblings." Vaera offered. Sandor nodded. SHe stared back at him. 

"I will... wait here." He offered. "We can... eat... together." he offered awkwardly. Her smile brightened. 

"Okay." SHe agreed but she didnt get past the doorway. 

'He did what needed to be done. Do you want to be hand of the King? Do you want to rule? This is what it is? Lies, lying on a bed of weeds and ripping them out by the root one by one before the strangle you in your sleep.' Cersei informed him.

'I know he is the King,' tyrion said taking a step forward. 'but I think there's more to ruling than that.' Tyrion said calmly

'I do not care what you think! you've never taken it seriously, you haven't and Jaime hasn't, it's all fallen on me.' cersei said sitting down.

'As has Jaime... repeatedly according to Stannis Baratheon.' Tyrion said smugly. Vaera hesitated. She knew the rumors, she knew what many thought but she loved her siblings, she didnt care it was very targaryen to fall in love with your twin she supposed. It didnt seem like such a bad thing to love someone that holds such a special place in your heart even if no one else understands. But maybe she was projecting.

'You're funny... You've always been funny... But none of your jokes will ever match the first one will they? Do you remember? Back when you ripped my mother open on the way out of her and she bled to death.' Cersei told him venomously.

'She was my mother to.' Tyrion reminded her.

'Now she is gone for the sake of you. there's no bigger joke in the world than that,' she told him walking away.

Cersei hesitated when she saw Vaera in the doorway.

"I'm sorry you had to hear all that." Cersei whispered.

"It's... Tyrion." Vaera countered moving to him. She bumped into him and dropped beside him. "What cersei said and what father say are not true. You didnt have a say in it. For all I know I killed my mother too... I'm sorry they treat you this way."

"If I were normal-"

"You are normal. I'm not." Vaera countered. "I would give anything to be like you, charming and smart. Able to see the world coming at you."

"I'm sorry Vaera-"

"Dont be sorry. I love you Tyrion just the way you are."

Vaera sat across from Sandor, she heard him chewing as she poked at her food. 

"not good?" Sandor questioned wiping his mouth. 

"I'm not hungry." Vaera admitted. 

"You said you were."
