Jaime was sitting in his cell

Jaime was sitting in his cell. Robb dragged him from camp to camp. He didn't even remember when they captured him. He wanted to run away, but there were many soldiers there.

It was midnight. He saw Robb and others go to another battle and rolled his head back, looking at the dark sky with a bored look on his face.

Suddenly, the cells gates opened and a young man walked in. Jaime looked at him and raised his eyebrow. He stood there still and then Arabella walked in. "Who let you come here?" he asked her. Arabella raised her head a little. Jaime looked very different. He had a beard, his long locks were covered in dirt and mud. He was wearing rags and smelled like a dog.

"No one did. I wanted to see you. To see a man, who caused everything" she told him with cold voice. Jaime rolled his eyes.

"I would apologize, if I'd feel guilty. But, unfortunately, I'm not" he teased her with a smirk.

"You can talk how much you want. You won't be so lucky when Robb wins" she told him raising her head even higher.

"If he wins" Jaime corrected. "What happened? Why are you in his camp?"

She didn't answer. She wasn't a fool. "Why would you turn up your family for this?" he questioned.

"There is no family left. There's just people" she looked away at Alec who nodded her way.

"You say it, but don't believe yourself" Jaime smirked glancing between the two. "Tell me, dear niece. You think a boy will win this? Even if he does, his father won't come back to life. Neither will yours..."

"I fight for my Throne" she breathed in. "Of course, it's better for you, when your son sits on that chair" she mocked him with dark expression.

"You know, of course" Jaime sighed sarcastically. "It's not true, Arabella. We're brother and sister..."

"What a bad liar you are, Uncle. Mother told me the truth" she smiled then. "Brother and sister you say? Pathetic. You know what I just understood? That Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen are my half-cousins. Which means I am a Queen. Not them. And when I become one I'll show you no mercy" she turned around and wanted to leave but Jaime said.

"Father would be so proud of you"

She didn't turn back and walked out. Alec closed his cell and ran to her. "Are you okay, m'lady?" he asked, holding onto his new sword.

"M'lady? I'm Arabella. Or Bella in here" she turned her head to look at Alec.

"We should get you in your tent. There's a battle. Someone might come" he spoke and she nodded.

"I'm sure Robb will win" she smiled remembering their moment, but decided to do what Alec said.

They walked in. Jessabelle and Nora were there. "I heard Robb has a nickname" she said sitting down and started her dinner. "What is it?"

"Young wolf, m'lady" Nora answered in her usual deep voice. Arabella wasn't surprised.

She finished her dinner and looked at her handmaidens and Alec. "I want to pray. Leave me" she ordered. Handmaidens left but Alec wasn't moving.

"I can't leave you alone, Bella" he smiled. She chuckled but agreed.

"Fine" she bent down on her bed and started praying to the new Gods.

She was praying for Robb's safety, Renly's acceptance to Robb's offer and for Sansa, Arya and her little siblings, except Joffrey. Even if they were Jaime's and Cersei's sin, she loved them. Arabella knew Myrcella would wear her ring. She left it on her bed when the girl was sleeping.

Arabella wiped her tears and stood up. Alec was still standing there. She smiled at him and went to sleep.
