Shaena Targaryen heard her mother's screams, she couldn't understand what was happening. After a while the screams were gone and a baby's cry took their place.

- What is her name my lady ?

- Daenerys, Daenerys Targaryen. Said her mother, Rahella Targaryen, but something in her strong, lively voice had changed. She sounded weak, like she couldn't take a breath.

- Daenerys, what a beautiful name my lady. I wish she becomes a really strong, beautiful, brave...

- Promise me, promise me that you will take care of my children, promise me that nothing will happen to them. Said like she was trying to say goodbye

-  Please try to be strong, for your children...

- I can't...

- Mother ? her brother, Viserys, came into the room 

- My sweet Viserys, promise that you will take care of your sisters

- Promise me that you will survive to take care of me.Said Viserys and started to cry, no one had ever seen him cry. Please mother we need you...

- My sweet boy promise me...

- I promise mother.

- Good. said faintly and closed her eyes.

- Mother? Mother? Please...

But it was pointless, his mother was gone. Then he turned to the new born child, Daenerys.

- You filthy monster! You killed my mother!

Then he ran to catch Daenerys. He wanted to hurt her, punish her for killing his mother, but his mother's maiden quickly took the baby in her hands to protect her and yelled to Viserys.

- Viserys! She is just a baby! Of course it wasn't her fault!

- It was all her fault! She killed my mother. Our mother... said and showed Shaena.

- She is her mother too and she didn't do it on purpose!

- She is not my sister! She is a monster!

- You made a promise that you will protect her!

- How am I going to protect someone that killed the person I loved the most?

- You made a promise to your mother!

He stopped yelling and crying and started thinking. He looked like he  had two minds about it. He wanted to avenge her mother, but he also wanted to be a good boy and fulfill his mother's last wish.

- Fine! But you hear me you filthy little monstrous baby? I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!

Ella woke up. She dreamed her mother's death a lot, but she always woke up sweaty, scared and shocked. She burst into tears not being able to breath. Her stepmother had told her what happened next;

A kind man saved her siblings, but he couldn't come back on time to save her too. Her mother's maiden, her stepmother, evacuated Dragonstone with her a few hours before the King Robert's army invaded the island.

They had stayed for the night near a village that was a day away from Dorne. Although it wasn't that far she thought that she already felt the breeze of the northern cities. She came out of the tent and sat under a tree. It was a dark night without a moon. The crickets were singing, the wind was blowing and the trees were dancing its melody. Ella heard an owl. Now she was calm. Nature always made her feel better.

- Ella? her stepmother sounded worried.

"Ella... "She thought. She had taken this name after her mother Rhaella so no one could understand that she was a Targaryen. << If anyone understands that you survived, King Robert will kill us all! >> Her stepmother had said and then she told her a story about a beautiful Stark girl which was named Lyanna. Robert was in love with her, but Rhaegar Targaryen, Ella's brother, kidnapped her. Robert and Lyanna's brother, Eddard, started a war to take her back, but it was too late, Lyanna died. Robert sworn to take revenge for her death killed Rhaegar and let his soldiers kill the rest of  his family. Shaena, Viserys and Daenerys were lucky that they escaped. Ella wanted to know if her siblings survived.

- Are you okay Ella?

It was her stepfather. 

- Do you think Daenerys and Viserys survived ? She asked without thinking.

Bradyn, her stepfather sat next to her and looked her into her eyes.

- I think they live a beautiful life somewhere away from Westeros wondering what happened to their sister.

- Do you really think that ?

- Come on, let's go inside.

Ella got up and went inside the tent trying not to think all the terrible things that might have happened to her siblings.
