Winged Direwolf and Lizard-Lion

Chapter Two - Journey and Nightmare

  'I did the right thing. I couldn't let get him harmed. They will be safe in there.' Bran thought. This separateness made him sad but that was the right decision. He felt Meera's sad eyes on him. Probably she felt pity for me.

  It was almost morning. Bran was sitting in the basket on Hodor's back. They were heading North. When i find Three Eyed Raven, can i able to walk again, Bran wondered. 'I wish i could walk. I wish i never fell from that tower.'
  While Bran was thinking, he didn't notice Meera was walking beside him.
"Are you okay my prince? You seemed a little absent." she said.
"Yes, I am fine Meera. I was just thinking. Thanks for asking."
"What were you thinking about?"
"Not very important."
"Okay. I am not gonna push you but if you want to talk someone or want anything, I am always here for you."
"Thank you Meera." said Bran before she nodded and walked beside her brother.
I am always here for you, Bran thought. Nice sentence.

  They kept walking until darkness of the night came and they found a place for sleeping. And then Jojen made a fire and Meera helped him. Summer was hunting in the woods. Bran was, well, just sitting beneath the tree and watching them.
  Finally Summer came, the wolf hunted two white rabbits. They ate the rabbits after Meera and Jojen cooked them.
 
  Bran was yawning now, he knew he had to sleep. He looked at Jojen, he was yawning too. Meera looked at yawning boys and said "I'll take the watch my prince, you can both sleep."
"Good night, then" Jojen said and smiled. He was laying a little away from Bran.
"Hodor" said Hodor and he slept under the oak tree. Summer was already sleeping.
 
  Only he and Meera were awake. Actually, i don't want to sleep. I can talk with her all night. When she is around me and talk to me i feel better.  But he yawned again.
"You need to sleep my prince. You need to be strong." she said. All that he could say was "Okay, goodnight Meera."
"Sleep well, my prince." she said.
He couldn't keep his eyes open no longer and he slept.

  He was at home again; Winterfell, he thought. He heard a sound, a raven's sound. Dark wings, dark words. He turned his back and saw the raven. It was three eyed raven. It was looking at him. Bran wanted to follow the raven. He tried to get up and walk. He can truly walk. He ran and followed the raven until he came to the Godswood. Then he heard voices, this time that wasn't the raven. "Traitor, Traitor, Traitor!" Voices became loud screamings. "Ser Ilyn, bring me his head!" Then he heard Sansa's screaming. "No, please no, noo!" He saw the bloody sword in Ser Ilyn's hands. My father's blood. His execution. Bran was frightened. Suddenly he lost his balance and he fell from the tower again.
 
  Finally he woke up. With in sweat and tears. Even he couldn't think what happened, Meera ran to him and hold his shoulders "My prince, what happened?!" she said, trying not to wake Jojen and Hodor. He felt her fear. She is worried about me.
  He couldn't talk. He just looked at her. She is still beautiful even she is worried and sleepless. She asked him again. He began to shake. No words came out of his mouth. "Bran!" she yelled and shook his shoulders. What the hell am i doing, she is so worried because of me, i have to say something. Strangely Jojen and Hodor were still sleeping deeply. "I am fine Meera... It was just a nightmare."
"Oh, my prince, you scared me very bad. I mean...You just looked at me like that. You were shaking. I thought.." she couldn't continue. And Meera hugged Bran tightly. She is warm, he thought. She is warm and she smells so sweet. Bran hugged her back. I want her to never let me go. Bran flushed. He felt the butterflies fly inside him.
  
  Meera let him go and sit close to him. Bran surprised when he saw Meera was flushing too. "Now, are you okay, my prince?"
"I'm fine, even better. And, please call me Bran. I am no prince in those woods." He smiled.
"Alright Bran. As you wish." she smiled and yawned. Tonight, Meera didn't sleep, Bran thought. She has to sleep, too. If i ask her kindly...
"Meera?"
"Yes, Bran?"
"You didn't sleep all night and it is almost dawn. You have to sleep too, Meera. And it's getting colder, you know, if you want it too, we can share our furs and-"
"It is alright Bran. That sounds good to me."
  Meera layed down and cuddled him. She got closer to him, and she kissed his left cheek "Please Bran, never scare me that much again. Like Osha said, you mean the world to me."
"I am so sorry for it, Meera. I've never wanted to scare you. I just-" She put her finger on his lips.
"Shh, i know. Let's just get some sleep." Meera, kissed his nose and said "Goodnight, Bran."
"Goodnight, Meera."
  Bran closed his eyes. He was sure about his face is bright red. He wanted to forget the nightmare. Now, Meera is sleeping near me, I don't want to think about my nightmare. You mean the world to me... I want to think about her. So he did. Her curly brown hair, her dark green eyes, her laugh, her kisses... And he fell asleep.
