I Should Have Trusted You

Chapter 10

Arya

This was the day she was going to finished her list. Last day of being Arya Stark. Arya looked at herself in the mirror as she changed into her maid clothes. Arya was under the name Lyria at the moment, she was a simple kitchen maid, who served food, Arya had been hired the day of Payne's death, it had been simple really, she walked in and asked for a job, they had been so desperate they hired her on the spot. Not many people liked working in the Red Keep, the guards were horrible, raping any innocent girl they liked the look of, and Cersei, had gone mad. Some rumors said as mad as the Mad King. Some were calling her the Mad Queen. Arya liked the sound of it, it fitted Cersei quite well.

Arya had found this small inn on flea bottom, out of the way for most guards walking by to miss. The Inn keepers didn't want trouble that Cersei's guards caused. She had heard about and liked the look of it. Arya had just come back after finishing her work up at the castle where she entered the inn and found theses drunk men pinning the wife of the inn keeper. They were laughing tugging her between them while one held down the husband.

'Let her go.' Arya warned, they looked at her for a second and started laughing, doubling over. Arya gritted her teeth and charged. She ran at one kicking him in the leg before slicing his throat. She spun around to the next one stabbing him in the soft spot in his stomach. The laughter died down, the one who was holding the Lady throw her to the ground and pulled out his sword. Arya was too quick stabbing him through the hand into the wood

Arya pulled the dagger out, arms rapped around her middle, Arya used the table to flip over before slitting the man's throat. She looked up and saw the last one was running towards her, she throw her dagger digging it into his throat. Arya stood up and whipped her face. She then turned to the keepers, they had a mixture of gratitude and fear in their eyes.

'I'm not going to hurt you, where is your mop?' Arya asked, she didn't let them finish before she started dragging the bodies out around the corner. When they were in a heap she lit a fire and let them burn. They were out of eye sight so no one saw them go up in flame. Arya went back to the inn and started cleaning up.

'What's your name?' the woman asked

'depends are you going to report me?' Arya asked, arching an eyebrow 'I mean I wouldn't stop you.'

'No, I don't think we will, we are in your debt.' She told her

'Arya, what's yours?'

'Ellia, and my husband Robb.' Arya smiled

'I had a brother called Robb, but he is dead'

'I am so sorry' she said, Robb entered the hall and starting helping too

'Not your fault.' Arya shrugged her shoulders

'Why did you help us?' Ellia asked

'My sister was rapped, over, over again by the son of the man who stuck a dagger in my brother's heart, I couldn't help her, I didn't even know she was alive.' Arya told them

'Iconic really the son killed him by stabbing him in the heart.' Arya chuckled

'So where are you off to?' Robb asked

'To kill someone.' Arya said

'Oh, and there's no other way?'

'No.'

'Well you have a place here until you don't need it.'

'Thank you, but I am willing to pay, you need to make a living.' Arya said

'What about you?' Ellia asked

'Don't worry about it.'

Arya shook her head out of the thoughts she was having and finished getting dressed. Arya still have her face on, she wanted to do this mission with her own. It felt too personal to use another's and this would be the last time she would use her face. She walked down the stairs said good bye to the couple and left.

She reached the Red Keep through the tunnels coming up to the kitchen. They gave her the Cersei's lunch before pushing her out the door. Everyone was afraid to be in the same room as Cersei so they made people like Arya, the expendable ones give her the food. It worked perfectly with her plan. The walk up to Cersei's room took a lot longer then every other day. It was never ending. Her stomach felt like there was a bowl full off boiling water ready to explode at any moment.

She turned the corner and felt the air leaving her. Cersei was stupid, one guard, the Mountain, she smiled, he was turned the other way. Arya placed the plate down before she snuck forward. She made it behind him, using the wall to bounce up she landed on his shoulders snapping his neck with a satisfying crack before he fell to the grounds Arya rolled. Arya got up and looked over her shoulder to the Mountain's dead body. She wanted to do more to him, kill him a different way but she didn't have time. She entered the room closing and locking the door behind her.

Cersei looked over and became alarmed seeing Arya had no food or wine.

'What are you doing here? Where is my wine?' she asked, Arya found funny how her husband said the same thing, how things stuck through a marriage. She smiled bitterly

'I didn't come for that. I came because I am here to finish my list of people I am going to kill and your last. The Mountain was before you, but he is dead outside.' Arya told her walking forward a bit closer to Cersei. Cersei laughed

'You couldn't kill the Mountain.'

'Than call him, because I broke his neck a few seconds before I entered but be my guest, I want you to know how wrong you are. And how dangerous I am.' Arya told Cersei, not letting any emotion through her voice or face.

'Mountain, enter, Mountain come in now.' Cersei shouted, when he didn't enter Cersei looked at Arya and whispered

'who are you?' she asked

'Your bastard killed my Father. The only thing I regret about his death was I wasn't there to see it, or to do it.'

'Arya Stark?' Cersei asked, Arya nodded

'How, how didyou survive for so long?' she asked

'Long story, but the only bit you would be interested in would be how I was able to kill the Mountain, you see I went to Bravvos and decided to train as a Faceless One.' Cersei gasp quietly

'They taught me everything I needed, I then went and killed Walder Frey and his Family. He was on my list. Then a few days ago I killed Ilyn Payne and stuck his head on a pike. Then the Mountain. Now you, then I won't have a list. Any last words?' Arya asked, Arya wanted Cersei to fear for her life.

'I heard of Faceless men, your family would be so ashamed of you. Killing innocent people.' Cersei mocked her, her eyes flashed in front of Arya's and Arya charged forwards tackling Cersei to the ground, pulling out a knife and started stabbing her over and over, hearing every bad thing that had been said out the Starks, seeing the Red Wedding, her Fathers execution, every person she killed and her eyes of fear.

She didn't know how long she had been like that stabbing Cersei's now dead body before a sharp voice rang through what she was seeing, what she was hearing she looked up panting to see a wide eyed Jon standing at the every open knocked down door.

Jon's here, whats he going to do?
