Falling / Bran Stark

10. Enemies

Odetta's eyes peeled open and her head was throbbing. She glanced around disoriented before she saw sandor saying a prayer at the end of her bed. She stared at him thinking it was a dream. Sandor didnt pray. He looked to her and his words silenced.

"Odie," he breathed back.

"When did you start praying?" Odie questioned. He moved swiftly to her hugging her tightly. "San, cant breathe." She rasped. He released her kissing her temple.

"You are okay. You are okay right?" Sandor questioned. "Can you move everything?"

"Yeah..." she agreed confused and not checking if she could indeed move her arms and lets because it never occured to her that she wouldnt be able to. "where is bran?" She asked urgently.

"Move yourself around." Sandor countered lifting her arm she snatched it back.

"Where is bran?"

"Sleeping." Sandor answered. "Move your legs. Can you mvoe your legs?" She rose up wiggling her toes.

"Where are the Lannisters?" Odetta demanded.

"Gone."

"Gone?" Odetta echoed

"Nugget what happened?"

"Cersei and jaime were.... Doing things in the broken tower. Bran and I saw."

"Fuckin Lannisters." Sandor barked. "I told you no windows. Windows lead to-"

"Rooms and im going to see something i shouldnt." Odie murmured "but san they pushed- Jaime pushed bran and said the things i do for love and then he said no her brother will kill me so cersei pushed me!" Odetta demanded.

"Im going to kill the lot of them." Sandor barked clenching his fists.

"San I want to see Bran. Now."

Odetta stared down at bran confused.

"Why wont he wake?" Odetta questioned giving his arm a shake.

"Hes sleeping-"

"Stop saying that. If he were asleep he would wale up and hug me so clearly he isnt just sleeping. Somethings wrong. What happened!" Odetta demanded.  Catelyn and sandor stared down at her when robb came in she pushed past them and moved to robb

"Tell me whats wrong with him! Im going to marry him one day i deserve to know!" Odetta demanded tears in her eyes.  Robb knelt before her putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Do you remember what happened-"

"Tell me what happened to bran! Is he going to be okay?" Odie begged.

"The maesters say he will wake they dont know when but they say he will wake." Robb answered.

"Thats good." Odie agreed glancing back at catelyn. "So whats with that sad face? Didnt you hear him? Bran will wake."

"He wont have use of his legs." Catelyn added.

"Might not." Robb clarified. "Might not have use of his legs."

"Oh," odie moved to bran grabbing his still hand as summer whined at the base of the bed. "We can get a chair for him. I could push him or sandor you can carry him right?"

"Sure peanut." Sandor agreed.

"He just needs to wake up." Odie assured. "Everything will be fine. I promise... we will be fine. He just needs to wake up and come back to me."

Catelyn couldnt handle how sweet Odetta was towards Bran, couldnt handle that she was alive and awake and perfectly fine and her boy was lying in bed looking like death. But she loved that Odetta refused to leave Bran's side as much as she did.
