Pain.
That is all Tamina felt when she opened her eyes. Blinding pain shot through her head making her wince.
When she was able to control the pain she sat up in the bed, Mayla was sitting by her side with a cup of water. Tamina took it, the cold water felt good on its way down, she hoped it would stay down.
"How long have I been out?" Tamina asked, her voice rough.
"Two days," Mayla replied.
"Where is Maester Aemon?" Tamina asked while she sat up.
"He was not feeling well, has not been for a while now apparently" Mayla said with a sad smile, "The battle is over, Tamina".
"What? How?" Tamina asked confusingly.
"A man, a King from the South named Stannis rode in and destroyed the wildling forces, most of them dead and the others captured," she said.
Horror filled Tamina's veins.
"My brother... he... is he?" Tamina stuttered.
"No, no Richard was not among the dead or the captured, we do not know where he is" Mayla said.
Tamina sighed, she slowly sat up from the bed and got dressed, she wrapped her cloak around her body to leave but Mayla blocked her way.
"Tamina, I do not think you are ready to start walking on your leg," Mayla said with concern.
"I am fine Mayla, I need to see this" Tamina gave a reassuring smile and moved around Mayla.
Tamina stepped out from the room and made her way down the stairs, each step sent a stabbing pain up her leg, making her wince.
The sight she saw was shocking.
Wildlings.
Hundreds of wildlings, some chained together and some at sword point waiting to be chained, Stannis's men had taken over Castle Black.
Tamina felt a tug on her shoulder, she turned and came face to face with Jon who looked relieved to see her. He suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace.
"How are you feeling?" Jon asked,
Tamina gave a small smile, "They can try but I cannot be killed that easily" she replied.
Jon and Tamina turned to look out across the courtyard.
"What happens now?" Tamina asked,
Jon sighed, "I do not know".
Suddenly a loud commotion erupted in the middle of the crowd; wildlings backed away from the women who had fallen to the ground screaming in pain.
Both Tamina and Jon ran to the opening pushing their way through the masses. Jon and Tamina froze.
It was Dalla and she was covered in blood.
