2.5 Battle Healings

That night someone attacked Arabella. Fortunately for her, Alec was there to save her. The man, who did this wore red Lannister armor. Alec managed to kill him. But he got hurt as well.

Arabella left her tent a saw a man crying on the ground in horrible pain as his leg was crushed. Two women were trying to cut his leg off, but he didn't let her. "Hey you" one of them said looking at Arabella. "Come and help us."

She hesitated but decided to go. Slowly sitting down on the dirty ground, the princess looked at the man quickly moving around from shock and fright. Arabella didn't know what to do.

"No! Don't do this!" he yelled looking at Arabella who watched him with a sympathetic look.

"Can you keep him down?" a woman asked her. Arabella wanted to answer but someone was quicker.

"With me she can" Robb told them as he bent down on the other side of the man. Arabella stared at him in relief and a small smile covered her mouth. He looked at her with a small twinkle in his eye.

"You're back" she smiled wider. He nodded darting his look from her to the man.

"Bite this" he practically made him bite a dirty rag to keep the pain. Arabella and Robb held his shoulders as the woman started cutting it off. The man yelled in agony, Arabella shushed him, while Robb was looking at her the whole time. She seemed so genuinely sorry. Her dress was all bloody, dirty but she seemed to don't care.

After that, Arabella left Robb and went elsewhere to clean her hands. Robb decided to go talk to her.

Arabella was struggling with her dress. She was cleaning it with so much strength. And it wasn't because she wanted to clean her dress. It was from all the emotions in her body.

Robb had enough seeing her like that. He grabbed both of her wrists and took the rag away. She started to cry while looking down. "I got attacked last night" she sighed looking back at him.

"By who?" he asked looking for any sign of her being hurt, but she looked untouched. He let go of her wrists and she wiped her tears.

"He wore armor with red details on them. It was a Lannister" she looked away not wanting to see his face. It still hurt remembering how he grabbed her. She thanked the Gods, Alec was there as well.

"Where is he?" Robb said trough gritted teeth.

"Alec killed him. He thought I was in a tent alone" she looked back at the blue eyes of a man she adored. "And now Alec's hurt. I don't know if he'll survive..."

"I knew I should've left more men to look after you" he mumbled angry at himself for putting her through it.

She looked at him in confusion and slight awe. "No, everyone has to think I'm just a lady. Your friend."

"Roose Bolton knows who you are" he then said making her stop talking. "He said he'll tell no one. I trust him."

The Bolton family was one of the vicious ones. Their sigil was a man, who was skinned.

"You have blood here" she took the rag from his hands and wiped it from his cheek. When she wanted to take her arm away, he grabbed her wrist.

"Do not do this" he whispered then let go of her arm.

"I'm sorry" she mumbled looking down. Then Alec stumbled out of the tent. He had blood everywhere on his shirt. "Alec!" she laughed and ran to him before hugging her friend.

"Careful there. I'm still hurt" he chuckled hugging her with his unharmed arm.

Jealousy filled Robb as they both hugged. He hated the way Alec hugged Arabella's side. But that was for the better. He knew he couldn't have her.

Robb approached them. "You fought well, soldier. I am thankful for keeping the lady safe" he told Alec.

"Thank you, your Grace" Alec nodded holding onto his left side.

"Alright, you're still hurt. Let's get you to bed" Arabella smiled towards Robb who nodded. She then hugged Alec's side and helped him get back to the tent.

"Lay" she ordered helping him sit down on the bed. He groaned and grimaced his left side hurting like hell.

"That's your bed, m'lady" Alec shook his head. Arabella rolled her eyes.

"Bella. I'm your friend and want you to rest" she smiled cheekily making him chuckle.

Alec lied down and she sat next to him. "Wow, I befriended the princess" he commented making her nod her head.

"You saved my life twice. That's the least what I can do" she commented feeling like Alec was her true friend. She had already forgotten about Sierra or other 'friends'.

"It's awful guarding you" he joked smiling like a freak.

"Oh thank you very much" she rolled her eyes playfully. "Get some rest."
