Hidden | Jon Snow

XII

After Jon saved Emily from the attack, he took her into a room next to his. He explained she would be spending the nights in here, other than downstairs in the corridors with the men.

She felt like she was getting special treatment because she was a lady, but at this point she knew it was for her safety. Also, she wasn't exactly complaining about having her own room. She was sitting on the bed, with new clothes on when two men walked in with Jon.

One man was older, balding, and his eyes were a cold blue. He introduced himself, " Lady Emily, I'm sorry for the experience you just had to undertake. Do you remember what the men looked like that attacked you?"

Emily just looked at him and didn't answer, she didn't like him very much.

The other man spoke, he had a gray beard and grey eyes. He looked at her with pity and started talking with an accent she had never heard. "M'lady, I am Ser Davos Seaworth. Please, I know it must be hard to think back, but those men need to be punished."

Emily tried to remember what the men looked like, but it was so dark. All she could remember was the way their hands moved across her body. She shivered at the thought. Emily wanted those men to be punished for what they did to her.

"If I remembered what they looked like, they wouldn't be alive right now," she said with venom in her words. Ser Davos looked at her with disappointment because she couldn't remember. The older man looked like he would rather be anywhere else, but there trying to help her.

"Although-" she started laughing to herself. "I did give a nasty bite to two of them, I know I drew blood, and Ghost got a good rip at one of them. The third one ran I guess when Ghost came."

Jon was quite in the back. Ser Davos started walking towards the door, he said," We will find them m'lady, don't worry too much." With that he walked out the door.

The older man walked towards Jon and whispered something in his ear. After he gave Emily one last small nod and walked out the room. Emily and Jon were the only ones left when Ghost appeared in the doorway. He ran and jumped onto the bed where Emily was and sniffed her nose. He laid down right next to her, and she didn't think he was going to move.

"Well someone will be keeping a close eye on you," he said amused, talking about Ghost.

Emily was suddenly over come by emotion. "Jon I wanted to thank you because if you or Ghost weren't there... oh geez I don't even know what I would have done." She put her head in her hands. Then she felt the bed dip besides her and an arm wrapped around her shoulder. Emily lifted her head and looked at Jon.

"I promise you we will find those men. You should get some rest because you start training tomorrow, you could have a break if you want."

"Oh no, it's ok. If I'm in here I'll just keep thinking about tonight. That would do no good for me. I'll start training tomorrow," she said with a small smile on her face.

Jon smiles back and got up," Alright, training tomorrow."

"Who was the other man that came besides Ser Davos," she asked Jon before he could leave. Jon signed and turned around.

"His name is Alliser Thorne, he is the Master-at-Arms here. He will be the one training you tomorrow," he explained.

"I don't think I like him very much," she said.

Jon just looked down at her," get some rest."

Jon left the room and it was only her and Ghost. She laid down in the bed and just hoped tomorrow would be better.
