Game Of Thrones:Lady Blackthorne

CHAPTER 34

In her rooms, Sansa is sitting at a table reviewing documents. The two guards are in Sansa's room explaining what happened.

The second guard said, “We told her to wait. We were standing right next to her. Sansa sighs.

The first guard said, “When we turned around she had gone, My Lady. She was nothing. Some winter town girl.”

The second guard said, “She comes in asking for Ser Rodrick and Maester Llewyn.”

The first guard said, “Don't trouble yourself over it, My Lady. We'll find her.”

Sansa said, “You don't have to. I know where she is.”

In the Winterfell crypts, Arya is standing looking at a statue of Ned Stark holding his sword. Arya hears a sound and turns to see Sansa approaching. Sansa stops when she sees Arya.

Arya said, “Do I have to call you Lady Stark now?” Sansa hesitates for a moment.

Sansa said, “Yes.”

Sansa begins smiling then walking towards Arya. Sansa reaches out and hugs Arya.

Sansa said, “You shouldn't have run from the guards.”

Arya said, “I didn't run. You need better guards.” Sansa smirks at Arya.

Arya said, “It suits you, Lady Stark. Jon left you in charge?”

Sansa said, “He did. I hope he comes back soon from Eastwatch. I remember how happy he was to see me. When he sees you, his heart will probably stop.” Both girls turn and look at the statue of Ned Stark.

Arya said, “That doesn't look like him. It should have been carved by someone who knew his face.”

Sansa said, “Everyone who knew his face is dead.”

Arya said, “We're not.” Arya turns to face Sansa.

Arya said, “They say you killed Joffrey. Did you?”

Sansa said, “I wish I had. I was long gone in Essos living with my friends.”

Arya said, “Me too, I'd a killed him. I was angry when I heard someone else had done it. However long my list got he was always first.”

Sansa said, “Your list?”

Arya said, “Of people I'm going to kill.” Sansa begins to laugh. Arya joins her.

Sansa asked, “How did you get back to Winterfell?”

Arya said, “It's a long story. I imagine yours is too.”

Sansa said, “Yes. It's not a very pleasant one until I met Aldarra.”

Arya said, “Mine neither, but our stories aren't over yet. Who's Aldarra?”

Sansa said, “No, they're not. Aldarra is the most extraordinary woman I have ever met. She was a Blackthorne but forced to marry Tywin Lannister and had a baby boy in White Harbor. She saved me and two other people from King's Landing. We took a ship to Braavos where she got money out of the Iron Bank. She bought a ship, then sailed to Pentos and then the Lorath Bay to Norvos. We lived comfortably for almost a year. Then they put bounties on us so we sailed to White Harbor then to Castle Black. She was taking me to Jon after hearing how mother and Robb died. The three dragons that Daenerys Targaryen had found her one day reading in a wildflower field. She, Jon and Tyrion Lannister can ride them.”

Arya said, amazed, “Wow. Where is she now?”

Sansa said, “She had to go to Dragonstone to oversee the mining of dragonglass to bring back. They are filling ships with it to bring back to Winterfell to make weapons. Arya, Bran's home too.”
