Sue Me / Sandor Clegane / Vaera Targaryen

16. Desparate

"I'll give you one try, girl." Sandor remarked and she froze, rock in hand over Sandor's hear. He turned to her standing over him. "Kill me and you're free. But if I live, I'll break both your hands. Go on, hit me. Hit me hard."

Vaera rolled over grumbling when she rolled into a rock.

"That wasnt there..." Vaera reached for it but couldnt move it. Sandor shot up.

"You drop it on my Vaera?" Sandor demanded. Arya smirked back at him. "I will kill you girl." Sandor warned.

"You dropped what on me? The rock?" Vaera demanded getting up. "Whats going on?"

"The little wolf is being difficult."

" is she throwing rocks at me?" Vaera demanded.

" you are a Lannister."

" and I'm blind, and currently without any means to defend myself." Vaera agreed sitting up. "Sandor defend my honor go do it punch her." Arya froze. " did you do it? I don't hear screaming." Vaera decided. Sandor honestly didn't know if she was joking or not. She said it was such a straight face.

" do you want me to punch her?"

" that's what I said didn't she tried to drop a giant on my head." Vaera agreed. " go on do it."

" I'm sorry!" Arya in horror as she jumped back stumbling over her own 2 feet

" you should be sorry he would've done it too. Don't be throwing at me or him. I just wanna go home same as you the only difference is I get to go home. You get to go to my Home so stop being a shithead." Vaera demanded.

She didn't like riding with arya. The girl was moody and grouchy and a big baby about everything. She was almost as bad as joffrey.

" why can't we make her walk?" Vaera questioned as sandor led the horse.

" she would run."

" I would." She agreed.

" I would rather ride with you sandor."

" trust me I like riding with you gorgeous" he agreed as they tregged along

" would you stop mumbling my sister's name?"

" she's on my hit list. I'm going through the people. I'm going to kill."

" well then you should be glad we're bringing you back to the capital. Quite a few of those people on your so-called hit list are there." Vaera agreed. Sandor liked sassy vaera. " OK let's just ignore her. Let's play my game."

" what game??"

" no we're ignoring you because you tried to kill me this morning." Vaera demanded. "Sandor?"

"Umm," he looked around " I see some brown."

" tree bark try harder." Vaera answered

" I see something... orange."

" like an orange?"

" the color orange not the fruit."

" orange orange... orange? What on earth is orange?" Vaera debated.

"Think hard Gorgeous."

" are you making something up?"

" I see something orange. I'm not lying." Sandor assured arya rolled her eyes.

" are you two flirting? Is that what is?"   Arya questioned

" ignoring you." Vaera countered. " can you give me another hint!"

" it's fluffy."

" it's an animal!" she exclaimed

"Aye. Most animals are fluffy." Sandor agreed

" can you still see it?" he glanced back.

"Aye."

"Orange... fluffy... is it a type of bird?"

" are birds fluffy?"

" when they get wet and they shake out their feathers sometimes." She agreed.

" it's not a bird." Sandor countered

"Its a fox." Arya cut in

"Rude! You are not a part of this game we were ignoring you." Vaera sassed. " was it a fox?"

"Aye." Sandor agreed.

" OK what else?"  Vaera agreed.

Sandor watched vaera. The only problem with him shamelessly looking at her now was that there was an extra set of eyes that could see him staring at her. Arya narrowed her eyes as him. He couldnt stare at vaera without the little shit glaring at him.

" when we set up camp tonight, you are not going to try to kill either of us and maybe tomorrow I will let you play our game." Vaera told arya

" as if I would want to play."

" you do because you are bored." Vaera corrected finding sandors arm as he helped her to the ground. " or maybe you would like to sulk and gripe some more."

" Sulk all you want. The truth is, you're lucky." Sandor said the next morning as he led the horse onward. "You don't want to be alone out here, girl. Someone worse than me would find you." Sandor warned.

"There's no one worse than you." Arya corrected

"Ha, you never knew my brother. He once killed a man for snoring. There's plenty worse than me. There's men who like to beat little girls, men who like to rape them. I saved your sister from some of them."

"You're lying." Arya decided.

" Ask her, if you ever see her again. Ask her who came back for her when the mob had her on her back. They would have taken her every which way and left her there with her throat cut open." Sandor corrected.

" that's where you went. After getting me to safety." Vaera recalled.

"Aye."

"Is that the Blackwater?" Arya asked as they got to the shore. "You are taking me back to joffrey and the queen."

"Promised Vaera, you are extra leverage." Sandor agreed. "I like my head right where it is."

" what if when we get back they kill you anyways cause you stole their precious little Lannister?"

" I won't allow that to happen. I will also try and convince my sister not to kill you. Or lock you up with shackles. But you ran away. she's going to want punishment."

" you would try and protect me?"

" I don't know if I go as far as protect but persuade." Vaera agreed "sandor on the other hand I will protect. Because he protected me." Sandor smiled reaching out touch her cheek. How desperately he wanted to kiss her.
