ALYLLA sat with Helaena, whom had a butterflies in a jar, "Our sister is leaving," Helaena mumbled, and Alylla's eyes went wide.

"What?" Helaena nodded, as her focus was on the bug, "Where?" Alylla asked standing up from sitting with her sister, "Um, mother spoke of her fleeing to Dragonstone."

Alylla shook her head, "When?" Helaena shrugged, "Today."

Alylla whispered underneath her breath, as she looked towards the doors and opened them to run out to find Rhaenyra and her children, more precisely Jacaerys.

Down the halls echoing with the sounds of Alylla running down them to Rhaenyra's apartments. Until she reached the apartments, to come face to face with her half sister Rhaenyra, "Sister," Alylla spoke softly, "Ah princess Alylla,"

"You're leaving?" Alylla asked, looking at her eldest sister, "Yes to Dragonstone, i've done my part here."

"Where is.." Rhaenyra cut her off, "Jacaerys? He should be at the carriage waiting."

Alylla nodded, "I shall miss you... and your presence here in kings landing."

Rhaenyra smiled at her, the older princess stared at Alicent's youngest daughter, which resembles her old friend, "And I shall remember your gratitude and I shall miss you... Sister."

Alylla smiled softly, before turning away to run down the halls again to find Jace, she held up her dress so she didn't trip and fall.

She was out of breathe until she reached Jacaerys whom looked surprised to see her, "Alylla?"

"Jacaerys," She was out of breathe, as she looked at him. Alylla tried to speak only for no words to come out, "I-"

Jacaerys titled his head, grabbing her hand, "I'm not good at goodbyes," She whispered and Jacaerys smiled, "Then let's not call it that, say I shall see you again."

Alylla frowned, "And if I don't?"

"You will, eventually."

Rhaenyra spoke, causing Alylla to turn to see her, "We must depart."

Alylla nodded before letting go of Jacaerys' hands and smiling one last time, "Jace."

Jacaerys knew and nodded, "Aly."

ON the following morrow, Alylla heard that Ser Harwin and his father were dead, leaving Harrenhal burnt and to a ruin.

   Alylla sat in Alicent's apartments, it had been a week since her half sister gone, and she felt the emptiness in Kings Landing.

   Helaena strolled in, but it was the way she didn't have a soft smile on her face made Alylla know something was off, "Helaena?"

   Helaena looked up, to her sister.

   "What?"

   Helaena shook her head, "Mother betrothed me to Aegon and father believes it the best choice," Alylla raised her eyebrows, confused, "Is mother going to betrothed me to Aemond?"

   Helaena shrugged, "Mother only spoke of Aegon and myself."

   Alylla stood up, "Oh my..."

   Helaena wrapped her arms around her sister, as Helaena shook in her sisters arms, "I'm scared."

   Alylla nodded, "All shall be alright."

   Helaena pulled away, wiping some tears away from her pale face, "How about.." Alylla stopped and thought for a second, "We go to the garden and find bugs," Helaena sighed, "You hate them though."

   Alylla smiled, "Truth, but for you. Anything."

   Helaena smiled lit up the whole room, "Really? You mean it?"

   Alylla nodded, "Yes."

   Helaena nodded before stopping again, "But mother doesn't wish for anymore bugs here," Alylla shook her head, "Nonsense, I'll speak to mother."

   With that Alylla dragged Helaena with her down the halls of the red keep, to the gardens, where the two spent most of their day together, looking and finding bugs for Helaena's collection. And Helaena realized why he loved her sister more then her brothers.

   "Hold onto the things you wish for, don't let it go or it might break and die away."
