Hidden | Jon Snow

XIII

When Emily woke up the next morning with Ghost laying on the ground next to her bed, she found it really hard to get out from under the covers.

"Maybe I should have just listened to my Mother and married a rich man so I could stay at home all day," she said amusingly to herself and rubbed her eyes. Ghost prompted his head up to her. She smiled at him and rubbed his chest.

Time to find some limping, scratched up men. Alliser fucking Thorne isn't going to do shit to find the men who attacked her last night she wasn't stupid so she decided to do it herself.

She got dressed in the clothes Jon gave her last night for training. The clothes were slightly bulky but they would have to do. She cut the pieces of excess leather on her sleeves and tightened them around her waist to make it a waistband. She didn't look half bad when she looked down at her work. She tied her curly, dirty, blonde hair in French braids when she heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

"Good Mornin', Emily I hopped you enjoyed your sleep. We have a few suspects down in the cellar that could have been the assaulters. We need you to come down and see if you can point out the three men," Ser Davos explained. Emily took a deep breath in.

"A part of me wanted to find them myself so I could rip them to pieces," she said with her eyes closed. She signed. "Those fuckers deserve to be sent over the bloody wall," she bitterly laughed shaking her head.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't imagine how terrible you feel, but the Lord Commander decides their punishment," he said standing in the doorway.

"Isn't Jon the Lord Commander," Emily asked confused. Ser Davos signed.

"Yes he is, but the Lord Commander has a lot of enemies here who don't think he should be. He needs to be careful not to make them too unhappy because it'll put him in a tight spot that could be deadly," he explained simply. There was more drama here than Emily originally thought. Maybe she wouldn't be so bored in her free time.

"Jon will want to burn them alive or even better, he will let Ghost finish off biting their legs off" she said looking at Ghost thankfully. That night could have been so much worse for her if the dire wolf didn't show up.

"Emily, just don't expect too much from Jon. He is under a lot of pressure from the officers..."

"What kind of pressure? Do they not want the men to be punished who tried to fucking rape me? Jon is Lord Commander he has the power to make whatever decisions he likes. If those men stay alive- -well, I guess i'll have kill them my fucking self," Emily said with a deadly look in her eyes and Ghost was tense on the floor because Emilys mood instantly changed.

"I don't doubt that you would," He said proudly. "Come on they are waiting for us downstairs," he said heading down the hall.

______——-_______——-_______——-______

Emily, Ser Davos, and Ghost entered the room with six men chained to the walls at their hands and feet. Five had large wounds on their legs that somewhat looked like bite marks already she cancelled one out.

She turned to her left and she saw Jon, Alliser Thorne, and the other man who was in her room last night after the attack where they all sat at a large wooden table. Jon was just sitting there looking at her with his brown eyes and she almost got lost in them when Jon whistled to make Ghost run to his feet.

"Emily Castor, daughter of Fred Castor, explain to us what happened last night in detail during the attack," Jon commanded her. Thorne and the other man seemed bored of the situation.

"Is this necessary or can I just point out the men and start my training, I'm sure y'all don't want to hear me complaining about how I was almost raped by three men and beaten," she said sarcastically with a bitter smile on her face.

"Tell us what happened so we can punish the men in the way we seem fit," Thorne said smugly.

"I didn't think it was you deciding the punishment... I thought it was the Lord Commander," Emily said teasingly. Alliser looked like he wanted to ring her neck. Emily held his eye contact and they had a mini staring contest when Jon interrupted them.

"Emily. Corporate now," Jon said looking at her silently begging with his eyes.

"Fine, they grabbed me from the top bunk out of the sleeping quarters in the pitch dark. They dragged me outside in the snow when I started fighting a few off, but it was three against one so I was overwhelmed. I managed to bite two on the hand and land a few punches. Then one practically concussed me and I was about to pass out when Ghost came out of nowhere and saved my ass. Jon was there that night too he could point a few men out as well," she finished her story.

"Go walk over there and pick out who you think the men were" Alliser explained pointing to the wall where they were chained.

The first man was very scrawy and the youngest of the six chained, he had a wound on his leg but it wasn't a bite wound and there was no teeth marks on his hand. She shook her head "no" and moved to the next person.

This man looked like a wild animal from how cold his eyes were and he had teeth marks on his hand. That looked like it hurt, she got him good remembering the taste of blood she got in her mouth.

"Him."

She identified two other men after him and the other innocent men were free to go train after someone looked after their injuries. The men were kneeled down in the middle of the room facing Jon, Thorne, and the other man she still didn't know.

"Emily and Ser Davos you can leave now," Jon said getting up and only staring at the three men, not even sparing another look at Emily before they left.

When they left the room Emily asked Ser Davos who the other man was. Apparently his name was Bowen Marsh and he was a First Steward. Emily just really wanted to start training and stab dummies over and over with Winter. She would imagine the dummies were Alliser Thorne and Bowen Marsh.
