Yara watched her brother with worry. But the boy was not coming to her. And she was not going to reach out until he reached out first.
[She is disappointed that THEON is flaccid.]
"Do you think we're ugly? He thinks we're ugly."
"Well, he's been through so much. Look at his poor face."
"Help me. If he comes back-"
"We need to make him feel better."
"And how can we make him feel better?"
"I have an idea."
[VIOLET stands and comes to MYRANDA. She pulls the lacing of MYRANDA's dress until it peels away. She helps the dress to the ground. THEON is excited but disbelieving.]
"Don't, you fool! It's a trap" Yara muttered. One tit and men just gets hard! They are tits for fuck sake!
"Oh, she's shy. You know how they are, these religious girls."
"Maybe he doesn't know how we are."
[MYRANDA straddles THEON and undulates on top of him. VIOLET kisses his forehead.]
"Oh. I felt something. Oh, Lord Greyjoy."
[MYRANDA's breath quickens as she rubs across the length of him. THEON holds onto her, joining into her rhythm. VIOLET shrugs off her own gown. THEON is entranced. MYRANDA grabs his face and pulls his attention back to her.]
"What? You like her better?"
No, he couldn't look. It was a trap. Any moment now that bastard was going to drop in and start torturing him again. These girls would probably join him in the torture!
[MYRANDA kisses THEON. VIOLET kneels beside them and grabs hold of THEON. RAMSAY's horn blares from across the room, startling THEON. VIOLET and MYRANDA retreat and RAMSAY walks out of the shadows.]
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Terrible timing."
He knew it. He fucking knew it! He knew better now. There was no hope. He was here to see that he had no future. Regardless of what he believed or not, his turning on the Starks brought him his downfall! He was here to see himself meet a torturous end.
Lord Stark promised him the Watch after this, so maybe he'd be spared! Anything was better than what his future self was going through.
[THE NORTH, CAMP]
[MEERA REED walks into camp, carrying the rabbit she has caught. OSHA and HODOR set up the tent while RICKON STARK sleeps next to them. LORD BRAN STARK and JOJEN REED sit talking nearby. OSHA walks over to confront JOJEN.]
"What are you telling him?"
"It's all right, Osha."
"It's not all right. You think I can't hear you every day? Filling his head with black magic. Talking about visions and three-eyed ravens and worse."
Bran puts himself into deep thought. If the Three-Eyed Raven was real and he was calling for him... maybe he could convince his father to take him there. He needed to know why he was being called.
Ned inhaled deeply and exhaled a sigh. All of his children were involved in one dangerous event after the other. Bran's one worried him the most, him heading into the White Walker territory like this... He needed to know what this Three-Eyed Raven was and Figure out how to save his son from it.
"I don't fill his head with anything."
"So what do you talk about?"
"What's happening to him and what that means."
"Go on, then. Tell us what it means."
"It's not like that. I wish I could tell him all the answers. It would be much easier."
"He's taking Bran into something he has no idea of!" Catelyn said harshly, the fear for her son's safety and well-being the primary forces driving her thought process.
Even if Ned wanted to defend Howland's son, he wouldn't and couldn't. The boy had no idea what he was taking the rest into, and such blind belief... Ned saw no sense in it.
"I don't want you talking to him anymore. Until we get to your brother at Castle Black."
"We're not going to Castle Black. I told you already. Jon Snow isn't there. Bran needs to find the raven beyond the Wall.
"Absolutely not!" Catelyn shrieked. "Under no circumstance is, Bran allowed anywhere beyond the wall!"
"But mother-"
"Enough Brandon" Catelyn cut him off sharply, "The Lands beyond the Wall are no playground for you to trounce round on and explore. If not Wildlings then those White Walkers would get you. And if neither then the cold or who knows what sort of beasts live there! You will not go there, end of discussion."
Bran turned to his father and saw the same stubborn look he saw on his mother. That was unfair! The Three-Eyed Raven was looking for him! He needed to know why!
"You already have the future skills you will learn from him so you really don't need to meet him anymore Bran" Jon snow said
Bran's eyes widened in surprise and nodded his head, "Yes I do know about warging and greenseeing but who knows if that's what he was going to teach me"
"He is been sending you messages through ravens and entering your dreams it means he is quite skilled in those two things so what else do you think he could teach you" Jon said
Bran became silent as didn't say anything back.
"The raven's been coming to me ever since I fell from that tower. He wants me to find him. I don't have my legs anymore. This is what I have now."
"You have a family. You need to go back to Castle Black so you can get back to them where you belong."
"Listen to her" Robb pleaded in a whisper.
"The Wall isn't safe either if the Wildlings attack" Arya muttered with worry.
Robb and those who heard her (their mother only) had new worries on their minds now.
"What if I belong in the North? What if I fell from that tower for a reason?"
"You fell from the tower because some bastard wanted to hide his incest" Brandon the Elder growled. "You're a Stark of Winterfell and you're in the North. The Lands beyond are not yours!"
Bran scowled, arms folded over his chest. He needed to go beyond the Wall.
"Is that what he's telling you? That it's all for a reason? All these bad things happened because the gods got big plans for you? I wish it were true, little lord. But the gods wouldn't spare a raven's cold shit for you or me or anyone."
"You don't understand. You don't know."
"The woman left her entire life and ran to this side of the Wall for a reason," Rickard said evenly. "She knows what's out there more than you do."
"You don't know. None of you know. None of you have been up there. I had a man once. A good man. Bruni, his name was. I was his and he was mine. But one night Bruni disappears. People said he left me, but I knew him. He'd never leave me. Not for long. I knew he'd come back. And he did. He came in through the back of the hut. Only it wasn't Bruni. Not really. His skin was pale like a dead man's His eyes bluer than clear sky. He came at me, grabbed me by the neck and squeezed so hard I could feel the life slipping out of me. I don't know how I got the knife. When I did, I stuck it deep into his heart. And he hardly seemed to notice. I had to burn our hut down with him inside. I didn't ask the gods what it meant. I didn't need to. I already knew. It meant the North was no place for men to be. Not anymore. I promised your maester I'd get you to Castle Black and no Further."
Bran's scowl faded and he felt bad for Osha now. Maybe he was a little mean to her.
But he still needed to go beyond the Wall! He needed to find this Three-Eyed Raven. He wondered whether Old Nan had stories about him.
