Episode one: A Cold Whisper {Game of Thrones} (COMPLETED)

Marei

Just a warning that this chapter is pretty morbid and would upset some people, don't say I didn't warn you but like I said - it's Westeros...
*************************************

The women were silent, they could hear the gold cloaks marching into the building, and it wasn't for themselves, a group of about eight kingsguard made their way into the brothel, clearly sent by Queen Cersei, or her son. What do they want?

"Nobody speak, I will handle this," Chataya whispered.
The girls didn't make a sound.

Ser Allar Deem crept into the main room. A couple of the girls recognised him having been here before, for a different reason. Marei had never been with him, but she had seen him several times with Dancy. She seemed to be his favourite. She is everyone's favourite. Thought Marei, angrily.

The men were silent, they looked frightened. From behind the quaking men strode Janos Slynt, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.
"My lord," Chataya perked, "what brings you here?"
He didn't speak, only turned to his men, and nodded ever so slightly.

The men barged in, pushed past Chataya and entered the corridors that led to the private rooms. They kicked the doors open, and exited with a woman in their grasp.
"What are you doing?!" Chataya yelled, fuming, "how dare you!"
"Orders," was the Lord Commanders short response.
"Let go of me!" yelled the young lady that Ser Allar Deem held in his large hands. She had light red hair and a powdering of scattered freckles along her nose, cheeks and upper breasts. She held a squalling baby in her arms, about a month or so old.

Ser Allar Deem looked anxiously to Lord Janos Slynt.
"Do it." the Lord Commander simply stated.
"Please no! Don't hurt him! Not my Barra, please!" the young girl squealed with an infinite desperation in her shaking voice.
Ser Allar Deem took the baby from her grasp and looked up at his Lord Commander with the same anxious expression.
"Kill the bastard!" shouted Lord Janos.

The girls were all silent with shock. Marei felt like she was going to be sick. Dancy quivered and a flow of tears fell from her big, brown eyes.

"Please no!" the girl screamed as loud as she could, the men held her up as her legs gave way, "please! Please!"
Chataya was frozen on the spot, her mouth forming an O shape, she looked breathless. Alayaya stood by her mother's side, the same expression and the same hopeless look in her eye.

"Give it here!"
Janos Slynt hissed with a venom in his eyes.
He pulled out a dagger and killed the baby in Allar Deems arms.
The girls let out a wave of gasps and cries. The young girl screamed in complete horror and passed out. Marei's insides churned, and she let out a sickly sob.

------------------------------------------------

The cold air tingled on Marei's skin. The moon was her only source of light. Marei wanted to forget everything. She tried to clear her head, but the horrors from that day burned away in her mind like wildfire on wood.

The golden headed man was fuming.
"My love," the lady whispered.
But his face remained still, his mouth a poker straight, horizontal line and his eyes... empty and emotionless.

"Isn't he beautiful." the woman held a young baby, not yet a week old, in her skinny and frail arms.
The man didn't utter a word.
"He's my baby boy... my only boy,"
"Who's the father?"
"You! Of course it's you..."
The man took a step toward her, he ran his rough hand across the young baby's scalp. It was covered in little tufts of black hair.

"No." he breathed, "who is the father, Vevienna."
The woman, Vevienna, shuddered, and tears built up in her pure green eyes, causing them to twinkle in the silvery moonlight.

The little girl watched from afar, she felt scared and yet she couldn't stop looking at her beautiful little brother.
But unfortunately, neither could the man. He held out his arms and ever so slightly his eyebrows furrowed. Anger lightly danced across his dangerous face.

"Give it to me."

The woman sobbed, and shook her head.

"Give it to me, or I will take it."

"Him! He's not an it!"

The man did not wait any longer. He snatched the tiny baby from Vevienna's grasp, and purposefully exited the small, cramped house.

"No... not my son..." the weak lady whispered.

Marei never saw her little brother again. And the two girls did not dare question the man when he returned empty handed.
