1.15 Ned Stark's Head

"I... Joffrey will forgive him, I know" Sansa said to Arabella as the princess said they had to leave immediately. Arabella was losing control. She just wanted to grab Sansa and go.

"I'm going to your brother, you stupid child" she sneered and Sansa took a step back. "Joffrey is a bastard, vicious boy. He doesn't love you"

"You don't know that. He's merciful. All Kings have to be like that" she shouted.

"Sansa, we have to run now. Don't you want to be with your mother and Robb?" she asked sighing.

"I love Joffrey. He is my King. I won't leave him" Sansa stood her ground and Arabella lost hope in her.

"Think about what your father wanted, not about love. Not everything is rose pedals" she didn't know if Sansa was frightened by Cersei or was this blind. "Is it your choice?"

"I suppose it is" Sansa told her with tears in her eyes. Arabella nodded and left her room. Varys was standing there.

"Do you know where Arya is?" she asked as they were going towards the door. It was midnight so it was safer to go like that.

"No, I apologize, Princess. I think you will have to leave alone. Queen is already looking for you" he said looking around.

"Is Lord Stark going to die?" she asked like a little child with doe eyes.

"Your mother says he will be sent to the Wall. But we do not know what King Joffrey thinks" Varys told her.

"Can I stay here for one night? I want to see what happens" she said, tears building in her brown eyes.

"No, Princess. It's too dangerous" Varys shook his head still looking around for a wagon.

"Why are you helping me?" she asked looking at him barely cautious. She never trusted any of Robert's council members except Stannis and her own father.

"I do what is best for kingdom" was a simple answer. "There will be a wagon coming here soon"

They waited for a little longer and then a wagon with food came their way. An old man was sitting there.

"There will be a horse waiting for you. The man knows where to drive. Good luck" he instructed and she got into the wagon.

"Thank you, Varys. I won't forget that"

And with that she left the red castle looking at it with already longing eyes.

Arabella walked into a brothel and saw woman riding a man. That was ugly for her so she lowered her head her cape hiding her face.

She still couldn't believe she managed to run away. All she wanted was to see Robb. She missed his quirky smirk and beautiful blue eyes. He was her betrothed. Other side of her was frightened. What if he kill her as a revenge?

"What's your name, sweetheart?" she heard a man say. Arabella barely looked up to see him looking at her.

"Leave the girl alone" a woman with huge breasts told him shushing him down. "Come here, sweetie"

They walked into the room upstairs. It was cold and Arabella was dirty and tired. She watched as the woman dressed into a thin dress.

"I know who you are" she said causing Arabella widen her eyes. "Varys told me you would come" she smiled. "There is a horse waiting for you. Do you know where to go?"

Arabella shook her head. "Downstairs I saw one of Robb's banner men. I will talk to him. Maybe he will bring you to Robb" she said walking towards the door.

"Is Eddard Stark alive?" Arabella asked quickly hoping he was.

The woman stopped, stood there for a moment before turning around. "No" she said and left the room.

Arabella looked down shock in her face as she began to cry. She had no idea it was possible to break like that. She always thought of herself as strong and powerful. Now all she wanted to do was cry. She thought about Sansa and felt bad. She should've taken her while there was still time.

She saw the woman come back with a young looking man. She felt relieved that he wasn't some old prick trying to take advantage of her. "I'm Alec" he told her with a hint of smile. She nodded and they heard horses outside. The woman ran to the window.

"Oh no. Lannister men. We have to go" she grabbed Arabella's hand and they left the room.
