Targaryen Dragons

Madness of Fear

Ned Stark

He was walking towards his camp but his mind kept thinking about Jon, why was this happening, this wasn't supposed to happen like this. He was supposed to rot at the wall. He wasn't supposed to ever meet that damn family. Seeing him there, seeing the furious look of Queen Rhaella, Ned knew he was fucked, the look of hatred from Jon, the green eyes that send shivers of Fear in his whole body.

He knew one thing for sure, the way the Royal Family reacted to him, the way Ser Arthur Dayne was standing close to Jon, the way he was ready to protect Jon from them, he knew what all that meant. They know They know the truth.

Damn, No This Can't be Happening

Ned didn't know how could have they have found out.

Only me and Howland knew the truth.

Ned thought and his mind went to Howland.

Did he tell them and Jon the truth? No, he wouldn't, he wouldn't risk his own family.

Ned thought but the more he was thinking about it, the more he knew that he might have told them. Howland didn't have hatred for Jon and Lyanna was his friend. Then his mind went to Jon himself, Jon hated him, he clearly hated him and didn't care anymore whatever what he said or do.

Since he returned from the wall, he never cared anymore to hide his abilities with a sword, he didn't act like he was below him, and what he said to Robb, showed, he didn't care anymore.

He knows the truth, he must know it, But HOW HOW, No Lyanna you won't destroy my life Again Ned thought determined and wanting to not let anything happen to his family.

Robb will be lord of Winterfell and he will be there to see him grow and see his children.

I Should Have Killed Howland

After Jon left, Catelyn left too, she said she had something to talk about with her brother. He didn't know what it was and right now he didn't care to know it. He reached his tent and so did his children and GreatJon, Lady Dacey, and Lord Bolton.

Robb looked furious and his lords were just following him "Ned" one of them said concerned.
He turned to see GreatJon looking at him worriedly.
He looked at his children and they left one by one.
After they left he looks at GreatJon and Lady Dacey.

"What?" He asked with authority in his tone.
"Ned, what was that back then?" Lady Dacey asked angrily looking at him with disappointment.
"What was what, I told him to stay in Winterfell and he disobeyed my order" Ned responded trying to sound strong, she crossed her arms and shook her head in disagreement.

"Why? Why would you do that? Order your son to stay, Why?" Lady Dacey asked raising her tone a little and Ned noticed Roose Bolton was looking at him with a little smile, Ned was sure he was enjoying this situation.

"Why I order him to stay is my problem" He responded loudly and with a hint of anger and GreatJon looked like he didn't recognize him anymore.
"Why was Ser Arthur, a Kings Guard, staying with Jon?" Lord Bolton asked him with a cold tone.

Ned knew why he asked and from GreatJon and Dacey's face, he could tell they wanted to know the same thing.
Ned slowly walks back to his seat and sits exhausted.
Ned was thinking about an answer but couldn't find the right answer without raising suspicions.
