To Show Gratitude

The room was tense. Quiet. No one spoke, and only Cersei had the stare of hidden death behind her pupils directly at Revena, whom was also keeping a close eye on Cersei, both having a battle of stares, a silent war was shared between those two and the wall that surrounded us, I only sat there feeling completely hopeless for myself and Revena. Cersei sat across from me and Revena with a glass of wine in her hands, just a couple feet away from her. After a long moment of a battle of stares, Cersei's eyes kept serious with a little smirk, giving a mixture of distress and happiness, a look of aggravation hidden behind her nude pursed lips, a mischevous one that I only recognized with seductive eyes of a bothered lioness, she was no good at pretending to enjoy ones presence, and I feared for Revena "I must apologize ... " Cersei expressed blankly, I knew from the look in her eyes she didn't enjoy apologizing about anything "I apologize that you witnessed me ..." She hesitated with eyes that only focused on me before continuing "And Dawn" She then added another grim yet devilsh grin, waiting for Revena's response, but Revena looked even more confused.

"Your apologies shouldn't be given to me, your grace. They should be given to your husband, Robert Baratheon ..." Revena said.

Cersei's reaction went from a aggravated smirk, to a sudden blank furrow, seeming quite offended at the woman's comment, and I only began to fear more, wanting desperately to say something, should I have defended Revena or Cersei? I didn't see myself as guilty or innocence, I didn't know which side to take. If I'd to take Revena's would Cersei ever speak to me? Or If I'd to take Cersei, Revena, the only mother figure I had not ever speak to me again? "Careful" Cersei voiced silently "I'm sure you still want to keep the job as servant"

"It's my fault" I admitted, catching both attention of Cersei and Revena "Cersei saw my art. I had been drawing down the marbled halls of statues, She had sympathy for me on what had happened last night. She thought showing me the hallroom of art would take my mind off things, but I came up to her and kissed her ... I guess I ... " I paused to take a look at Cersei, whom seemed to be pleased yet admired my way of honoring her with the story, like she was not used to someone defending her "I guess I just wanted to forget about everything and kissed Cersei. She was apolozing that you had to witness that because she knows how much you care about me, Revena" I looked at Revena's eyes, seeing that she was completely falling for my lies, more of my lies I had to do to get away with it "I should be the one to apologize" Revena's face grew confused as I finished my confession, embarassed about her attitude, She stood and apologized for blaming the Queen. And as I, once again breathing in relief.

Later that night, I sat in my bed reading a book Tommen had given me, the boy was smart for a book this thick. I couldn't help but to look up at the door, Revena would come and visit my chamber's each night, saying either goodnight or to chatter, I worried for her, or perhaps she decided to treat me as the air, she breathed it but never spoke to it. I stood, wincing a little forgetting the pain I had in my abdomen each time it tensed, making my way to the archading window to remove the curtain, viewing the flower Cersei had given me beginning to die. I quickly took the jar of water and began to pour the vase fresh water, brushing my pink fingers on the pedals upwards, in hope it could stop slouching downward like a saddened little creature "I'm sorry" I whispered to it. My body flinched at the sound of two soft knocks at my door, I quickly hid the white rose with the small raggy curtain I had made myself and spun around, standing there suspiciously "You may come in" I commanded politely, I saw Cersei approach through the door, but had hesitated and stood there, she smiled warmly at me and closed the door behind me.
