𝕿ALIANA'S breath hitched, as her eyes began to water, for a moment she had thought she was going mad, but when she saw Jon sit up she knew this was real.
Hearing his shaken breaths made Taliana call for help, Ser Davos was first to run back into the chambers, where she couldn't believe his own eyes.
"Taliana? What did you do?"
Taliana's eyes never left Jon, "I swear I didn't do anything."
Jon sat up straight, staring at the wall in front of him, his breath heavy and loud. His ear not hearing what Taliana and Ser Davos were speaking to one another.
His head turned, seeing Taliana, and his eyes never left hers, until he looked down to see the dagger marks and everything began to flow back, and his breathing began to become heavy again.
Ser Davos was first to take off his cloak at the same time as Jon tried to get off the table, he fell into Ser Davos' arms, "Easy! Easy."
Taliana watched as Ser Davos set him down, while Lady Melisandre entered the chamber, "What do you remember?"
Jon took a moment, "They stabbed me. Olly put a dagger in my heart. Taliana had to watch, they held her back as she cried."
Taliana looked away, her eyes closed for a moment before looking back at Jon, "I shouldn't be here."
"The Lady brought you back."
Lady Melisandre bend down to Jon' level and asked, "Afterwards, after they stabbed you, after you died, where did you go? What did you see?"
"Nothing. There was nothing at all."
"The Lord let you come back for a reason. Stannis was not the Prince that was promised, but someone has to be."
