They slowly excited the crypts looking if it was safe out there. She could see her breathing in little clouds. Everything was full of dead bodies and the smell hung in the air. Fire mixed with wood and blood and death. Jenny stepped out of the castle with her bloodied face. Her eyes roamed the area. Where was Jaime? And Pod and Aurelian and Brienne? She heard someone suddenly choking. "Take care of her she's unique" A weak voice said causing Jenny to run the way it came from. She saw Aurelian with blood in front of his mouth and his empty eyes towards the sky. The Lannister teared up as she realized that he was gone. Pod caught her breaking figure. Her soft sobs broke the silence in the courtyard. She cried.
Jenny stood in her guest chamber in a thin night gown staring into nothingness. She was brooding over everything what happened. Everything he said came true how did he know that all ?, she thought as she tied her gown with empty eyes. She had cleaned her little cuts and the blood under her nose ,luckily it wasn't broken. Her tears had been wiped away. But the fact that everyone was living their best life now, that the enemy had been defeated and they were save again made her feel weird. Now was just the last war remaining to be fought. She felt so lonely and sad in that moment like she hadn't ever before. She had been laying down to sleep but the pictures haunted her mind. After walking around like a tiger in a cage for what felt like hours she opened the wooden door just to run into someone's frame. She looked and was face to face with Podrick. Her cheeks turned crimson red and she looked to the floor awkwardly.
"Lady Lannister" He said with bright eyes but he didn't dared to say anything else than that.
"Sir Payne" She said dryly and looked up into his face. It was dirty and blood; even a few little cuts were visible. "Have these wounds been cleaned yet?"
"Nor really. I was tired so I went to bed but I couldn't really sleep" He said as he scratched his neck awkwardly. He blushed too and looked even more adorable.
"I can't sleep either" She smiled and stepped away from the door to allow him to come inside. Carefully he stepped inside and looked around in the chamber. "Take off your clothes" She said in her commanding tone as she closed the door again. He send her a weird look. "You know what I mean"
"Not really" He smirked as his hands wandered up his tunic. She watched him as her stomach knotted. With her heated cheeks she turned to the bowl of water and got a new cloth. As she turned back to Pod he was in a thin shirt and looked at her like he waited for her next move. As she did nothing he also took off the shirt as well. She tried to catch herself and break the tension between them a little. With a assuring smile she washed the dirt carefully off and cleaned the little cuts on his forehead. She returned the cloth and turned to Pod once more. Suddenly his hand went towards her chest moving the gown aside a little. Like he had done so many moons before his fingers danced this time over her skin where the huge scar was. It felt like her skin was burning under his touch. She looked up at him awaiting something. And before she realized it his lips found hers. It was soft and sweet but it felt like they both wanted more. She fully pushed her body towards his closing every gap which was left there. She felt how his hands wandered over her waist and torso. Hers were around his neck pushing his face as close as possible to hers. Her hands danced through his dark hair and pulled slightly sometimes. She felt how he pulled her gown up a little until his hand touched her thigh. But til it could get any further he suddenly stopped and broke away.
"We can't do this" He said with an raspy voice.
"What do you mean? You don't want me?" She asked with a hurt expression on her face.
"I want you more than anything in this world but I can't do this right now. I have to do something first" He said causing Jenny to raise one of her eyebrows.
"Let's get some sleep then?" She nodded and went to the bed. The two were laying under the thick furs. He carefully wrapped his arms around her small frame and pressed her against his chest. In that moment she felt so secured and save like she haven't in very long. She connected their hands. She pushed herself as close as possible to Pod,feeling his warmth.
It was perfect for a split second. No noise was heard in the whole castle. Wolves peacefully howling in the wood far away. Even they returned to their home. The winter was their natural habitat. Cold wind blew over the fields which were still covered with dead bodies. But inside the wall there were people talking, laughing, sleeping. And even some already started to clean the battlefield. Many people were laying on wooden constructions like beds. Their last bed. They would be burned soon. Behind the squares were a big amount of the remaining things from the white walkers. They weren't much but bones. But the dead were forgotten by a young couple which was laying in a bed behind the big walls and talked. Without any pressure they just talked about everything.
"And what do you hate?" She asked as she laughed and stared to the ceiling.
"Bugs to be honest" He said and she laughed in her sweet innocent laugh once again." What about you?"
"Storm! I hate it when I hear the wind hitting the windows and blowing in my face and when the lightning starts I'm gone for" She mumbled with a smirk as she kept laying on her elbow even though that position was very uncomfortable.
"You're scared aren't ya?" He asked as her seriously."you are" He stated as an fact. "I'm scared to"
