Arabella and Alec ran outside from the other side of the brothel, so Lannister men wouldn't see them.

The woman gave them one horse. Alec jumped on it and helped Arabella sit down as well. She hugged Alec's torso and looked down at the woman, frightened. "Be safe" she smiled.

"What's your name?" Arabella asked looking around.

"You don't have to know my name. I knew your father. He was a good man" suddenly two men kicked the door open. "Go!" she yelled.

Alec kicked the horse and they started riding. The princess turned her head to see one soldier kill the woman. She turned back and closed her eyes.

They heard rustling around. "They're chasing us. Hold on tight" Alec turned the horse and they started riding to the other side of the forest.  But even then the Lannister men were close. "Do you know how to ride a horse?" he yelled.

"Yes, a little!" Arabella yelled back holding tightly on him as her hair flew around the wind.

"Now, we're going to switch positions. I'll try to shoot them with my bow" he told her and she widened her eyes.

"Are you out of your mind! You will fall" she yelled.

But Alec didn't listen to her. "I'll count to three and we switch sides. Ride along" he told her knowing what he's doing.

"Okay" Arabella nodded. She had never felt such adrenaline ever in her life.

"One" Alec told her and she took horse's neck. "Two, three!" he yelled and Arabella took the control of the horse.

Alec took his bow and arrows out and started shooting Lannister men. One went down. There were two men left. "Turn right!" he yelled.

"How?!"

"Turn!" he yelled angrily. She turned the horse, but then Alec fell down. Arabella saw how Lannister men surrounded him, but she couldn't stop the horse.

Arabella stopped the horse around a mile from where Alec fell and got down. Her horse didn't run away. She heard rustling and started running because someone was near and no way she would've gotten onto her horse.

She ran while turning around. Her feet were hurting and cold. "Wait!" she heard a voice and saw that it was Alec riding the horse all this time. "Careful!" he yelled but it was too late.

Arabella fell down the small cliff before she felt the dark take over.

The runaway Princess slowly opened her eyes and looked around. She was lying in a room. It was small. "Are you feeling better?" Alec asked and she turned her head to him.

Her whole body felt like burning, she had multiple bruises but her leg was the worst. She tried to move it and bit her cheek from the pain. "My leg hurts" she answered. "Do you have any water?"

"Here" he gave her a flask. She took it looking at him and took a sip. Alec looked very young.

"Aren't you too young to be a soldier?" she asked lying back down. Alec laughed.

"I know Robb Stark personally, you see" he told her and she seemed intrigued. "Well, I don't think he remembers me. I used to live in Winterfell. So when I heard he needs help, I decided to go. And yes, I am quite young to be a soldier"

"Were you friends?" she asked interested in Robb's life and sat down.

"No, but once he saved my life. A bully tried to strangle me. He saw that and told him to stop. He was much smaller than that bully, but still stood there like the biggest man ever. He was just ten. The bully knew who he was and left. Robb helped me get up. He told me if he would try again to hurt me, I should come and say so" Alec was looking down, but talked about Robb with so much respect.

"What happened? Why did you leave Winterfell?" she wanted to know more about Alec. After all, he saved her life.

"We moved to Kings Landing when I was eleven after my Father died. My mother worked as a whore" he looked up.

"Why are you then a Snow?" Arabella asked remembering his last name.

"They weren't married" he answered. "We should leave. I don't have any money left and this brothel is very crowded. We can meet some unfriendly people" he told her.

Arabella got up, but almost fell, because of her knee. Alec caught her. "Let's leave. I will bring you to Robb" he said picking her up. They left the room.
