Ashanna shook her head at her sister.
"That's not going to work." She said bluntly.
"It will. He told me that he owes me three deaths." Arya insisted. Ashanna grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the sight of the guards.
"Maybe he's a liar." Ashanna quipped.
"He's not lying!" Arya said in frustration.
"How can you believe anything he says? He was in that cage with the worst of them. He's offering to kill anyone to repay you. If you asked him to kill a newborn child.. would he do it? This is dangerous Arya." Ashanna explained.
"We don't have any other choice. I'm not going back there. We'll follow the trident to Riverrun and you'll be a few days behind us with Sansa." Arya said firmly.
"Father would be ashamed of me if I don't protect you." Ashanna shook her head again.
"You told me how to get to Riverrun, you got me out of Kingslanding. You protected me and now you need to protect Sansa." Arya insisted.
"I can't just leave you." Ashanna said in disbelief.
"Gendry and hotpie will be with me." Arya groaned.
"Arya-" Ashanna started to say but was brutally cut off by her younger sister.
"I'm going. Whether you like it or not." She said firmly. Arya went to walk away from their refuge.
"We have to stay together, we have so many enemies now." Ashanna said as she pulled her sister back beside her.
"Nobody knows who we are. For all they know we're just a couple of the Smallfolk from kingslanding." Arya said slowly.
Ashanna watched her sister for a long second taking in every detail of her face, her now short, dark cropped hair and her piercing grey eyes.
"We lost Father, I'm not losing you too." Ashanna croaked.
"You aren't losing me. I know you'll make it to Sansa quicker by yourself than with me, Hotpie and Gendry. You'll be a few days behind us at most. This is the only way and you know it." Arya said slowly.
Ashanna knew then that no matter what she said or did.. Arya had made her choice and Ashanna wouldn't be able to stop her.
Her sisters life would now be completely in her own hands.
And if Arya was anything like Ashanna or their aunt Lyanna as many people believed.. she could meet a terrible fate.
