Dragon Born

You are the only family i have left

Aleara rode back to the Khalasar the next morning. She knew she had to face her fate that Daenerys is her only family she has left.

Aleara was weak, she had no energy, she didn't eat at night plus she cried all day, so when she rode Angus, she was slouching, moving side to side as he made his way back to the Khalasar. She saw the Khalasar was already starting their way but Daenerys was arguing.

"I cannot go anywhere without my sister." Daenerys said

"I'm sure she will come, Khaleesi, maybe she needs some time."

"Time for what, Ser Jorah?"

"Surprise" Aleara finally made her presence known.

***

Soon, the Dothraki rode, carrying on their journey. Aleara had gotten breakfast and she had a bit of energy. Daenerys and Aleara rode aside each other, as usual, Khal Drogo rode in the front, Ser Jorah and Rakharo rode at the back of Daenerys and Aleara.

"You came back?" Daenerys finally broke the silence.

With a sigh "You are the only family I have left, we have to stick together. I don't hate you, Daenerys but I also understand the situation and everything so it's best if we just move on and not look in the past." Aleara said.

With a sigh "Look, Aleara, I'm tremendously sorry about what I said last night, I never meant any of it, it's just...." Daenerys trailed off.

"Being trapped and abuse can affect you tremendously, I learned that the hard way." Aleara finished off. "Yes." Daenerys said.

Aleara looks down. "What is wrong?" Daenerys asks.

"It's just.... My whole life I have been given side eyes, given hate. Since as a little girl, all I wanted was love, even if to not be loved by everyone, even if it's from at least one person, all I wanted was love, Viserys brought me back home... To both of you, since then, the love I had yearned for, I got it, I was more satisfied. It was all new to me, I'm only used to... To depression and bad motivation, growing up. It was new to me when I saw that some people share my live for them sooo, seeing my loved ones hurt and taken away from me.... It's a new feeling, I just needed time to heal last night." Aleara said.

Daenerys kept quiet, waiting for her to continue.

"But then I realized that it takes a long time to heal, half the time, I cannot heal by myself........ So, you are my only family left. I am hurt about loosing Viserys but I still have you and I shouldn't forget you, you're the only one family I have so we have to stick together."

"You are right. We're the last of our House, we must stick together." Daenerys says smiling and Aleara return her smile.

"You know I would hug you to death if I we weren't riding horses." Aleara said making Daenerys burst into laughter.

***

As usual, the Dothraki rode all day and had made camp. Daenerys and Aleara were speaking with handmaidens as Irri braided Aleara's silver locks, Aleara favoured Irri more than Doreah, not that she had a problem with her, she just loved Irri better.

"Irri?" Aleara called

"Yes, Khaleesi?" She answered "it's cool, call me Aleara or Lea." She said.

"Okay, Khale- I mean Lea."

They all giggled.

"How well does Drogo fight?" Aleara asked causing everyone to look at her. "What? I'm curious and I also want him to teach me."

"Lea, you already know how to fight." Daenerys says.

"Well..... I just want to be able to defend myself and everyone." Aleara said.

"Or being the center of attention." Daenerys said and Doreah snickered and soon both Daenerys and Doreah laughed.

"Ha, ha, ha, very funny. So how well does he?" Aleara asked again.

"I don't know Lea, maybe you should ask Rakharo, he's very close to the Khal."

"Rakharo?"

"Do you have a love affair with him?" Doreah asked making Aleara blush.

"NO! Well not.... Yet..... I mean no..... Well, he's kind of cute.... The smile... The eyes...." She said looking up, she felt eyes on her every angle.

"Please tell me I didn't say that out loud?" Aleara said and they all laughed.

"Aww! My baby sister has a crush!" Daenerys squealed.

Aleara blushed and she turned red. "Aww! You're blushing so hard, you going to turn into a tomato."

They all laughed. "Let me see, Aww!" Irri exclaimed.

"Yeah, knock it off, you're making me a softy, I have to be tough." Aleara said and they just burst into Laughs.

"Khaleesi- I mean, Lea, you should talk to Rakharo." Irri suggested.

"No! Absolutely not! I'm too scared!" Aleara said.

"Facing a man hand in hand. No, you're not scared. Talking to your crush, yes, you are scared." Doreah said.

"Yeah, and you left the part where your crush is your husband's Blood Rider, so if he so happens to find you fucking his blood rider, he kills him." Aleara said with no emotion.

"Yeah." Doreah said realizing.

"Aleara, do you love the Khal?" Irri asked. "Why do ask me that question, Irri?"

"Yes or no." She said (but not harshly)

"Yeah, I mean.... I like him because he's a nice guy... Not love him.... Just LIKE him, that's all. I like him like a Friend not Husband but since, Viserys Wed me off to him..... I got no choice." Aleara said as she played with her index finger, circling the mat he was sitting on Indian style.

"Well, why don't you speak to Rakharo, you have no problem with the Khal, so why not him?" Irri suggested.

"For Basics, my dearest Irri, what will I say to him?" Aleara asked.

"You'll just talk, see where it gets you." Daenerys suggested.

"Good one Dany." Aleara said sarcastically. "I'll just go to him and say 'Dude, I have a crush on you, let's ditch Drogo and run away to fairytale world where we can live happily ever after' then we'll ponies!" She finished off sarcastically and they laughed.

They enjoyed having Aleara, she makes them laugh even when times are not right.

"Plus, the guy won't even want me. Look at me, look at him, put us together and what do you get?" Aleara asked.

"Umm.... A Dothraki Targaryen?" Daenerys said.

"Exactly!..... I mean NO! Not create a child, I mean put a Valyrian girl and a Dothraki boy together."

"It's called Chemistry, Lea." Doreah said.

"Yeah but he'll never like me back." Aleara said, folding her arms.

"How do you know?" Irri asked.

"I just know."

"Mhmm, I get it." Daenerys said.

"But I still have hope he will like you, you're a beautiful strong girl." Doreah said.

"Thanks."
