Lana snow- Game of thrones

Chapter 13 - Confrontation

The sun streamed though the window and lana for once felt glad to be alive. She could have died but she made it, and that must mean something. She just laid there for a while, thinking about her life.

"Does it hurt much." A voice from across the room made her jump. Lana span round, trying not to rip her wound open. The same golden hair and piercing green eyes that she knew all to well faced her. Cersei was beautiful, she had the most beautiful, flawless skin and a slim figure although she had three children. Her eyes looked at lana suspiciously but there was a glint of sympathy as well.

"Well does it?" She said, lana could tell she didn't like having to wait.

"Uh, yes, well not as much as it did." Lana's hand brushed the bandages, they felt wet with blood.

"I just wanted to see you, well Jamie wanted me to see you, he seems to see something in you."

Lana panicked, had he told her about them.

"I suppose you have to do whatever you can to survive." Lana tried to change the subject.

"That is very true, I have been doing that for as long as I can remember." Cersai sat down and smoothed out her exquisite dress. Lana looked down at the floor to avoid her gaze.

"So was it you who ordered my fathers death."

Cersei looked surprised, lana could see that she wasn't used to people talking to her that way.

"It was my son, the kings order, nobody could stop him." She looked down as if ashamed.

"Oh well, as I said, you have to do whatever to survive, my father obviously didn't have what it takes." Saying those words felt like a stab in the heart, but this was the only way she could convince Cersei that she was loyal.

"I like you lana, I think we are going to get on very well." She smiled standing up.

"Do do I, I would stand if, you know." Lana gestured at her wound.

"Don't be silly, you rest, when you are better I have a job for you." She smiled again and walked out of the door.

Later that night, Peter, Jamie and Varys came to her room to help her move into Petyr's chamber.

"Careful now, do not rip that would again." Pycelle ordered from his desk below the window.

Jamie and Petyr each supported half of Lana's weight by putting one of her arms around theirs and letting her lean on them. Lana's body felt numb probably from all the milk of the poppy but her heart skipped a beat when Jamie touched her.

"Are you ok, are we hurting you." He asked softly from beside her.

"I'm fine." Lana hated feeling so useless, so dependant on others but she had no choice.

"Not long, just up here." Petyr led them through the dark corridors with ease, lana knew he had many connections within the red keep, she didn't know if that made her admire him or fear him.

They finally reached a large, shiny black door with a lannister lion knocker on it. Petyr let go of lana while he unlocked the door, forcing lana to cling on the Jamie.

"Ladies first." Petyr gestured letting lana and Jamie struggle in.

"Seven hells, this is beautiful." Lana exclaimed, looking around wildly.

Firstly the place was huge, there was a large bedroom with a king size bed, a food preparation area and a bathroom all within the space. The decor was gold and turquoise, even the candles were finely painted.

"Good enough?" He asked from the doorway.

"Good enough, this is perfect thank you." Lana wanted to run and hug him but she had to remain in Jamie's arms like a child.

"You are very welcome, I will leave you to settle in and um talk." He knew that Jamie and I hadn't really spoken since Cersei visited.

"Thank you again." Lana called as he let himself out.

"Don't mention it."

When he had gone, Jamie let go of lana and let her sit on the end of the bed, he sat beside her but didn't speak.

"Jamie I think she bought it."

"Really, how do you know." He said sounding relieved.

"It was hard having to say those things about my father but I had to." Lana was trying to justify herself.

"You had to lana, it's the only way. I really love you lana, I know I said some things on the kings road but I was stupid. I want to be with you." He cupped her face in his hands looking into her eyes.

"When, when can we be together Jamie." Lana asked desperately, all she wanted to do was to ride of into the sunset and forget all about kings landing. Maybe they could go to

"Soon lana, I just need time to work things out." He kissed her and then brought her head down to lean on his shoulder. Lana could hear his heart beating.

All lana knew was that she had to survive, she had to be with Jamie and she couldn't end up like her father. She would rather die than let Cersei get her hands on her.
