Cursed Dragon | Jon Snow

23.

*Jon POV*

The air that entered my lungs felt like fire, my legs felt as if they where turning to snow and the fear that plagued my heart destroyed me. We ran towards the small cluster of cliffs, hoping they would provide some form of protection. What I saw when we got there was a frozen lake with a small stone island in the middle, thinking that it would provide us a little more of an edge I yelled for everyone to go towards the middle. I ran full speed not thinking about anything else until I felt Naella's hand slip out of my hand.I turned to see what the matter was and saw her frozen in place at the edge of the frozen water. Her face showed fear but not because of the swarms of dead people running up behind her but because of the frozen liquid she is currently staring at.

"Naella! What are you doing!"

She looked up at me and I could see her physically shaking then it clicked.

"I died here Jon..." She whispered but I heard it.

I started running towards her but Tormund grabbed my arm stopping me from going any further. I only then noticed the swarm of them a couple steps behind her.

"Naella! RUN!" I screamed, trying to break from Tormunds grasp.

She looked up again, then behind her. That managed to convince her, she took a few steps forward onto the lake but she was still moving to slow. I pushed Tormund off me and ran forward. She stretched her hand out to me, but as I was inches away from taking her hand I heard the ice crack making me freeze. I saw the colour drain from her face as she looked down to the cracked ice under neither her.

"Oh god no..." She whispered.

She looked up again, then I heard it crack again but I didn't care if I fell in with her. No chance in hell am I going to let this women die alone again. I took a step forward grabbing her hand, just as the ice shattered making her drop but I didn't let her go all the way in. She was up to her waste in ice water but I thanked the gods that the ice under me was strong enough to allow me to pull her out. Pulling her out the water I basically dragged her to the little island.

The ice shattering was surprisingly a good thing. The dead stopped at the edge of the water, obviously afraid they would fall in to just as Naella nearly did seconds ago. Pulling my gaze from the dead I looked down to Naella, who still looked to shocked to register what had just happened.

"Naella..." She didn't look away from the cracked ice, "Naella."

She looked up, with a single tear running down her pale cheek, "Hey, hey your okay."

She quickly brushed the tear of her cheek and looked up to me with a small smile, "Thank you, for saving me."

I smiled and gave her a quick peck on her cheek.

"Well, we are fucked." Tormund said looking around.

"What do we do now." Naella whispered

"Just before we got cornered I sent that kid back, to get help but I don't know how long it is going to take for him to get back." I sighed, "Maybe you could call Zerrin and Arian Naella?"

" I can try but I don't know if they will hear me, we left them at Winterfell remember." She sighed and gave off an loud high pitched whistle.

"Now, we wait."

We all huddled on the rock, trying to keep warm but that's a little hard...

*Dani POV*

Tyrion and I where talking among ourselves about what I would be doing next but it was cut short when we where interrupted by one of my soldiers holding a letter from the North. Taking it quickly, confused to why they have sent a message in the first place. Reading it I felt confused but panicked at the same time.

"Your Grace, what is it?"

"They are asking for help, apparently the mission was not going to plan." I said handing him the letter for him to read himself.

"What are we going to do?" He asked curious.

"Am I really going to go all the way North to help them with this so called problem that I don't really even believe in." I sighed running my hand through my hair.

"Well your Grace, not to over step. But you are running out of people who are willing to help you." He sighed.

I felt anger fill me, but it quickly subsided due to the fact that he was not wrong. Sighing I stood up and went to prepare to my journey North.

At least my dragons can stretch their wings a bit. I sighed again. Once everything was gathered and I was dressed warmer then usual. I headed North.

As I passed Winterfell Dragon Screetched which caused two other screetchs to answer it. Soon after I saw Zerrin and Arian fly towards us before making their way in front as if guiding us to where to go. Why didn't Naella take her dragons?"
