21.Edda
While Ramsay and twenty good men raided Stannis's camp I wandered into the crypts. The remains of my father Eddard were buried right next to the statue of his sister Lyanna.
I stared at his crypt, still not believing he was there. At first I felt nothing. It wasn't until I started to talk did my emotions come out.
"I've disappointed you father, haven't I?" I blinked to stop the tears from falling, "You always told us that we had to stand strong together. The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives." I took a shaky breath and practically slapped the tears off my face "Father, forgive me!" I recalled that horrible night at the Twin Towers. I sobbed, trying to catch my breath.
My knees grew weak and I fell on them. All this strength I claimed to have was a lie. It was all lie. Everything but Ramsay.
I swallowed my sorrow and promised my father "I will rule like no other lady Stark has ever done. I will show the Seven Kingdoms the might of a wolf, and all who have wronged us will regret themselves with each of their last breaths"
...
I left the crypts and started to walk towards the Godswood when Reek suddenly joined me, silently walking by my side.
When we entered I knelt before the beautiful tree.
I placed my hands together in prayer to make it seem to the Bolton guards fairly far away that I was being pious and not trying to stop their Lord Roose's plans to end his bastard son's life.
"I trust you've found information?" I asked softly.
"No, my lady, I have failed you" he announced, "Forgive me-"
"It is alright," I closed my eyes, "You've already done so much"
"Ramsay assigned me to be at your side at all times" he mumbled.
I looked up at him, "Then do so," I reached for his hand to help me up. "I will arrange for a room of your own in my tower"
He gave me a frightened look "My lady I cannot-"
"Please," I insisted, my eyes softly begging "Do not fret. I will never let your sleep in the kennels again."
I leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek "You are my brother, Theon-"
"R-"
"No." I snapped, "Theon was the one who would protect me from everything. You are going to protect me from everything, and in return I will as well."
Holding his arm we made our way to the Broken tower.
