"It was never the way she looked always the way she was I would have fallen in love with her with my eyes closed."

Ever since I got poisoned by someone we still don't know who. Sansa thinks it was someone from the kitchen but I said that would be too obvious. If the man who poisoned me was smart, he wouldn't be working in the kitchen.

I personally think the King wouldn't want to poison me, if he wanted me dead, he would've let people in all King's landing to see it. Another traitor killed, he would said. I know it's not Joffrey, he has too much pride for sure. The King's mother, Cersei, perhaps? I know she wants me dead, however, she wouldn't poison me. She's not that kind of woman, she prefers hiring someone to kill me.

Sandor haven't left by my side since I got poisoned and was cured back to my health, I am forever in debt because of him.

He didn't want me to go outside too often anymore. I know he was always on guard but this too much, even for me. I can only go out of my chambers when someone calls me, for example, the brat.

Being trapped inside my chambers all day is not that entertaining. It's getting darker and darker every minute, there's nothing much to do. I haven't seen the garden for days. Little time passed and I kept looking outside my balcony.

Dreaming about the garden and their beautiful flowers and plants and trees. All those beautiful blossoms glowing at the moon's light, how I miss to watch a sight. At very least, a glimpse of a rose bush. I know how cliche are roses but they're the only flowers that speak the words I love you. I had some kind of fondness towards roses, they are somewhat special.

"I cannot handle being confined here any longer!" I said to myself. I grabbed all of my blankets then tied them up by the end together to make similar to a rope.

"That should hold it, probably. I think?" Questioning my knotting skills for a minute. I made sure it wouldn't break or slip from each other. Good thing, I had plenty of blankets. I get to tend a little nippy at night even thought we're here in King's landing, not that so warm but it's alright. It was hard being forced to adapt to cold, never really adored the cold. Hells, I never even liked it.

"Just this one night to see the roses. Then I'll be back before Sandor finds that I'm not in my chambers." I turned around to look at my door, I know he's always just at the other side, protecting me. He's just doing his job but look at me.

"Well, I'll be back for a while. There's nothing to worry about, he's exaggerating." I convinced myself that it was all right. If someone did tries to kill me, twice, then I'll bring a knife just in case.

"Sorry. I'll go out and be back before you even know it, Sandor." I whispered then slowly climbed down from the blankets that I knotted together. I was already at the middle of the ground to my balcony, just a few more then I'll be on the ground.

"A little more..." I said and after a few moments, I couldn't believe I was on the ground.

"I didn't knew I could climb as well as Bran." Amazed at myself, I realized I have to be quick to go to the gardens. I ran quietly and headed to the gardens. I know there wouldn't be any people at midnight.

"Where was the bush of roses again?" I forgot where it was and at a time like this, so pathetic of me. I keep walking around the big garden, looking for the roses.

Time has passed for a while, I have no intention of going back to my chambers until I see the roses.

"Where the fuck could it be?" I stopped for a while to catch my breath, running and walking is so tiring. I looked around my surroundings to see if the roses are any closer but there was no sight of red petals.

It was past the middle of the night which made me worried. Did Sandor found out I'm not in my chambers and is looking for me right now? He would've found me hours ago if he found out. Maybe I won't be caught by him. I'll still look for those rose bushes. I swear to the seven gods, I wouldn't go looking for them if they are not my favorite.

After wandering around more, there I saw not far away, red petals that glowed at the moon's light.

"Roses." I said and my lips gracefully arched into a smile. My body feeling so much lighter when I saw it. I ran towards at it and when I got there, I was happy.

"Oh thank the gods!" I said and realized it was a little to loud so I shushed myself but smiled after that. I walked towards a full bloomed rose and then smelled it. I kneeled down to look closely at its beauty.

"Well, aren't you sweet." I whispered to it. How hard it was to find this roses, hours has passed. I looked at the moon and I knew that in only a few hours, perhaps two hours, the sun is about to come up.

"I know I have only been here for a few minutes but I have to go. It was a delight seeing you. If only I have found you sooner, I could have adored you more." Talking to a flower has been normal for me since I was child. I may look mad but I'm comfortable talking to them.

I stood up and thought for a moment if I could pick at least one.

No, it would only die in a few days. The petals would grow old and would brown then slowly fall off. It would be horrible. All plants, flowers, trees are living things. If I picked one then it would be like killing.

"It's too bad I can't take you with me. Well, you wouldn't prefer anyway being trapped in a room with no one to talk to. Almost like you're in prison." I said. I kneeled down again to admire it's beauty one last time before I go back.

After a few minutes of looking at roses, admiring them. I stood up and stared at the moon. You wouldn't be able to have peaceful moments again like this for a long time, so I took my time.

I heard heavy armor footsteps from my back. Heavy armor footsteps that it sounds like running so I turned to look around and saw Sandor.

He stopped at his tracks and stood there, catching his breath. It wasn't really heavy breathing but he was just there. Looking at me.

Then I panicked. I didn't know what to say. What reason am I supposed to say? I got lost? No, he knows I've already memorized the halls. What then?

He slowly walked towards me and stood in front of me. I could see in his eyes that he was worried and the with every breath he takes in, I knew he has been looking all over the ground to find me.

The sweat going down from his face says so. He was looking for me. I couldn't lie to him or else it would only make me feel horrible. I waited for him to say anything, anything at all. I feel he would shout at me saying I'm a stupid, little girl who kept looking for something to be in peril.

"I'm sorry, Sandor." Was all I could say to him. I looked away from his eyes because I didn't know how much trouble I did to him. I looked down at my feet and just waited for him to say anything or do anything.

"Let's go back to yer chambers." He spoke. My eyes widened, shocked from the words that came out of his mouth. He didn't said anything about me being a moron. He started walking and I followed, grinning at his back. I couldn't help it but feel so satisfied.

I felt so happy that I couldn't contain it anymore. I let out a little giggle and hopefully, he didn't heard that. Giggling is not really my thing but I couldn't help it.

He stopped at his tracks and looked back at me and I instantly stopped smiling. I showed him my seriousness, thinking maybe he didn't noticed my giggle. He then started walking again and I kept smiling like an idiot.

How can Sandor make me feel this way?
