Two boys were in the dungeons. One of them, Martyn, as he was called, had his hand bloody and scratched. Both of them were scared. They didn't know whether they were going to die or no.
Doors opened and a soldier walked in. Both of the boys stood up. Then Arabella took a step in and they widened their eyes.
Arabella was their first cousin so they knew her. Even if they met just two times, Arabella cared for the boys, as she thought it was crucial to keep them hostile.
"Arabella?" Martyn asked. Their father told them about the 'traitor' daughter of Robert Baratheon.
"Are you alright, boys?" she touched both of their cheeks.
"My hand is bleeding." Martyn answered with wide eyes.
"Bring me the medical bag." Arabella ordered the soldier.
"I can't leave them." he shook his head. Arabella rolled her eyes and walked over to the door.
"Bring me the medical." she told another one who nodded and left. She saw a chair and sat on it. "I'm sorry about this." she smiled sadly. "I never wanted any of this to happen."
"Will they set us free?" Willem asked furrowing his eyebrows.
"Yes." she nodded and the brothers exchanged a look of relief. "Soon, they will."
A man with bandages walked in. "Thank you." she took it over and put a piece on Martyn's arm.
"Why did you marry Robb Stark?" Martyn asked. Arabella looked down for a moment before looking back at him.
"Hold still." she took his hand and started bandaging it.
"Is it true what they say about him?" he then asked seeing that she didn't answer his question.
"And what do they say about him?" she smiled glancing at Willem.
"That he can turn into a wolf at night." Martyn looked down at her as she was still bandaging his arm.
"True." she nodded, joking.
"And does he eat flesh of his enemies" Martyn was starting to believe in the stories.
"True." she answered seriously. Martyn gulped and looked at his brother. "But you have nothing to fear. My husband doesn't eat children. Unless it's full moon." she chuckled and turned to a soldier, smiling a little, at how the kids looked. "Is it full moon tonight?"
The soldier shook his head. "Nothing to fear." she smiled and released his arm.
"Why did you betray our family, instead of helping us?" Willem asked. Arabella looked at him astonished and sighed.
"You do crazy things for love." she smiled. "And he is my family now. I help my family. Do you love someone?" she questioned curiously.
"No." they both said in sync.
"Someday, your father will bring a girl home and she will be your wife. You will wed her and bring children. They will be your family." she stood up. "I promise you will be alright."
"It is nice to see you again, Arabella." Martyn smiled, relieved a little.
"Yes." she kissed their heads. "I will see you tomorrow." she said and left the dungeons.
Arabella was walking through the corridors of Riverrun castle and saw a woman standing there. "Hello?" she called after her.
It was dark so she didn't see her face. The figure took her cape off. Arabella widened her eyes, frightened. "Jessabelle?"
The Queen wasted no time as she started to run. Jessabelle attacked her and both of them hit the wall.
Arabella struggled through her hold as Jessabelle began to choke her. "Help." Arabella managed to choke out but it wasn't loud.
Catelyn Stark heard noises and walked there quickly. She saw Jessabelle strangling Bella. Her eyes widened as she looked around for anything. A vase caught her eye and she grabbed it before smashing it on Jessabelle's head. The handmaiden lost consciousness and fell down. Arabella started coughing and fell into Catelyn's hands. "Are you alright?" she asked as Arabella breathed heavily. "Guards!"
Two men ran to them and saw the view. "Take this woman! She attacked your Queen!" Catelyn yelled and rubbed Arabella's back as she regained her breathing. "Was she your handmaiden?" Catelyn questioned. Arabella nodded touching her blue neck.
"Robb." she breathed out needing her husband more than anything. Catelyn began to take her there and they quickly walked into his room.
Robb was reading a book when he saw Catelyn holding Arabella to her side. "Robb." she said loudly. "Help me." she said.
Robb threw his book down and rushed to help his wife with a terrified facial expression. "What happened?" he asked as he sat Arabella on the bed.
"She was attacked."
