"As you wish, Lord Commander."

My words were colder than what he deserved but I couldn't understand that defeatist attitude without even trying. We looked at each other for a moment but when I realised that he wasn't going to say anything else, I turned on my heels and went back to the cage that brought us here.

I knew that taking back Winterfell would be complicated, almost impossible, but coming back from the death is impossible as well and there he was. I got into the cage and soon it started to go down. Furthermore, it was his home and his family we were talking about. The place where he grew up and where he had learnt to fight and ride. At least he had to try.

When I got down and got out of the cage, I went straight to the stables to check on my horse. I approached him and stroked his side slowly, whispering peaceful words so he calmed down and got used to my voice, seems it looked like I was going to take care of him for a long time.

"Look who came back from the heights" I turned around and I saw four men standing at the entrance of the stables. "Lord Commander's little whore"

"I am no one's whore" I said rudely.

"That will make things easier for us", said one of them, coming closer to me from my left side.

"Don't even touch me..." I said trying to sound more confident than what I actually felt, even when in the inside I was terrified. I had nothing to defend myself around me, not even a simple stick.

"We will do much more than just touching you", said another one of them, who was coming closer as well. I stepped back but I couldn't move too much since the horse was just behind me.

"How will she be like under those clothes?" Asked the one who had spoken first.

"Luckily...wet"

Their words made me literally sick and scared me at the same time. Jon was right. These men wasn't going to step back if I kicked them. Actually, probably they would kill me before I even had the chance to raise my leg. My only option was to scream but one of them would kill me the second I opened my mouth.

"Where is your dear Lord now?" Asked the one that was further away and looked to be in charge of the situation.

"If you touch me, he will kill you" I threatened them, just praying it was true.

"Don't you know? We are already dead. All of us have been dead since the moment your traitor decided to open the gates to those fucking wildlings."

Then one of them grabbed me and pushed me against his own body, placing a hand against my mouth so I couldn't scream. When I looked around, I saw that I had no way out. I was in a corner where no one could see us unless they walked into the stables. I was lost.

I started to squirm and kick the air since that was the only defense I had, but they also grabbed my legs so I was completely immobilized. The terror could be seen in my eyes. I wanted to scream, to beg for help but I couldn't.

"Stay still you fucking whore!" The only one that wasn't holding me exclaimed. Before I knew what he was doing, he slapped me on the face and I felt the taste of the blood in my mouth.

With terror, I saw how he started to open his pants as he came closer and closer to me until I could even smell the scent of the beer that came out of his mouth. I tried to keep on squirming but I couldn't. I had nothing to do. Jon was right. This wasn't a place for a woman.

"Get away from her right now" I heard an unknown voice, "or tonight we will have fresh meat for dinner"

"Go away, wildling, this has nothing to do with you" The man who was about to rape me said.
