Sparks Fly // Thoros of Myr / Sandor Clegane // (3)

11. Sparks Fly

"Thoros..." Taeylor whispered.

"I'm alright pretty." Thoros assured. "Gotta survive to love you right." She chuckled kissing his forehead.

"I look forward to it." She agreed.

As they continued on their journey the mountain getting closer and closer to Sandor's vision, Tormond stopped them hearing something ahead, unnatural noises. they peered down to see the army of the dead walking their pace slow as their swords and boots dragged on the ground

'Where's the rest of them?' jon questioned only seeing a dozen or so.

'We kill enough of them we are going to find out.' Tormond said grinning.

They attacked the group of white walkers it didn't look good but they were doing better against the white walkers than the white walker bear. They were fighting and fighting, they wouldn't go down but Jon killed the leader and the rest crumbled to nothing but ice except for one. one remained thrashing and screaming and kicking this would be the one they brought back to Kings Landing. this would be the one they gave to cersei to show her that this war needed to be stopped until the real enemy was killed.

Taeylor froze. Literally frozen and frozen with fear.

It screamed and screamed so sandor put a hand over his mouth but part of its skin came off in his hand

'Fuck' he screamed shaking off white walker goo. Sandor looked to taeylor. "Come here," he mused holding out his hand.

"No!" Taeylor squealed running to thoros.

They heard the marching of approaching soldier, more than this time, and fast approaching.

"Um... guys. Problem. Big problem." Taeylor decided.

'Tell Daenerys and Tyrion what we found go!' Jon told taeylor. 'You are the fastest.' Jon told him.

"But-"

"Not buts Taeylor." Thoros demanded

"Im taking you with me." Taeylor decided

"I would only slow you down." Thoros countered.

"But..."

"No butd Taeylor. Now get that cute ass of yours back to safety we will be right behind you." Thoros assured kissing her like it would be the last time.

"Take care of him Sandor." Taeylor requested. Sandor hated that she asked him because he knew thoros injury was worse than he was letting her believe. But still sandor gave a tight nod.

Taeylor took off, back to the wall, they had the proof, all they needed was to make it back to them alive.

Taeylor got disoriented in the snow a few times before making it back she prayed that she was fast enough that Daenerys would get to her friends in time. All that was left to do was sit by the fire and warm up while she waited.

But the waiting seemed like forever as day turned to night and the sun rose up again and thoros and sandor still werent back yet.

'Thoros? Thoros...' beric questioned but thoros lay frozen before them his wounds besting him.

'I would say it was a better way to go' sandor remarked pulling his ale from thoros's belt, drinking it down. "Oh fuck." Sandor grumbled.

"What?" Jon questioned

"Someone has to tell taeylor shes a bad luck charm." Sandor realized. Beric rolled his eyes that was the least of their problems while they still had an army of the dead to deal with.

'Lord of light show us the way come to us in the darkness and lead your servant to the light.' Beric said saying a prayer over Thoros. Jon took the ale from Sandor and poured the rest over Thoros his body.

'We have to burn him'

"Taeylor is not going to be happy." Sandor murmured.

"Where is Thoros?" Taeylor questioned as they silde off the dragons back

"Im sorry Tae..." sandor began. Taeylors eyes shifted back to him.

"What?" She breathed back.

"Thoros... he didnt make it." Sandor told her. He hated to be the one to tell her. He knew she was struggling to let anyone in again and that fucker weaseled his way into her heart just in time to die on her.

"What? No." She shook her head she couldnt go through this heartache again.

"The bear attack. It killed him". Beric told her.

"No, no, no not again-" she whimpered. She really was bad luck. Every man she gave her heart to died. A horrible death. Tywin crossbow through the chest. Garlan exploded. Thoros bear attack. She should be a walking hazard sign. Warning pretty face that will get you killed in the most stupid and outrageous way possible not worth the hassle.

"He really liked you." Beric added.

She felt an odd sense of vertigo like she was standing at the edge of a great precipice and looking down into a vast nothingness.

She had pushed him away from the start only to fall weak to his charms and constant flirting. She should have pushed him away and not let him in or she should have let him in sooner and she would have had more time with him. More kisses more sullen moments. Either way it would end in heartbreak.

Sandor stood awkward before her he wanted to help to be the one to pick back up the pieces of her crumbling fragile heart but he didn't know how to make this right. Taeylors eyes went glossy with tears her breath was choppy as she tried to remember how to breathe.

Sandor reached out a hand for her but she was on the ground crying before he could reach her.

"When i was with him it was like sparks would fly."
