Hey Guys, so sorry for the long wait, but here is Chapter 14, I hope it isn't a let down.

Jon

He looked at the huge direwolf lying at Arya's feet and Jon truly understood now, why Nymeria was in charge of her own pack. When she stood at the door moments ago, for the first time he was scared of Ghosts sister, her head was lowered mouth open, with blood dripping from it, a low growl, a warning if he even tried to stop her from coming near Arya, she would hurt him, he could tell she wouldn't kill him, no, Arya and Nymeria were too connected but it didn't stop him wondering if this was her angry face what would be her kill face.

Jon tried to come up with a plan going ahead, he knew if he didn't help Arya overcome her guilt, it would eat her alive, like it had him for a time. He just didn't know what he could do, then there was the family that had looked after Arya. Since Arya had taken care of Cersei, Kingslanding would fall into chaos and he couldn't leave this family to raise their child in it. Maybe if they were willing they could come to Winterfell? Or close by, but then again, they might not want to pack everything up and move to the other side of Westeros. He was weighed down on what it was he needed to do, they would have to act fast, they couldn't stay in Kingslanding for too long, they would be on the look out for the killer of the Queen, and Arya had used her own face, he thinks, she had definitely killed Cersei with her own face.

He rested his head in his hands and took a deep breath, he would think about everything tomorrow, he knew he shouldn't leave it for tomorrow but he couldn't think about it, not after everything that had happened. He peeked through his hands to see Arya's calm face, she was so beautiful, a true winter rose. Jon had heard of all the stories about how his mother was a real beauty, how Eddard had often told Arya she looked like her aunt, but Arya never believed him, thought Eddard was taking pity on her, but if Arya was anything like his Mother, he could see why Rhaegar went to war for her, why she ran away to get out of marriage with Robert. He placed a kiss on her forehead before closing his eyes and trying to get some sleep.

Jon woke up to a scream, he jumped to his feet looking around wide eyed, to land on Ellia looking at Nymeria who had lifted her head lazily blinking once before lowering her head again.

'That's Nymeria, Arya's direwolf, I would have told you, but she came after you went to bed.' Jon tried to explain, he heard thundering of feet, a startled Robb came running down the stairs only to stop mid step as his eyes landed on the direwolf at Arya's

'What in seven hells?' he asked

'She won't hurt you, she just felt Arya's pain and came looking for her. She is connected to Arya, in a way that is hard to explain, it just means she knows who is helping Arya and who isn't, so you're fine.' Jon said. Robb looked at Jon then to Arya who was still motionless.

'She is Arya Stark.' Ellia whispered, Robb looked at her surprised,

'What do you mean, she's Arya Stark?' Robb asked

'Think about it, her direwolf, Arya hating Cersei, her brother being called Robb, it all fits' Ellia looked at Jon for conformation. Someone how his mind had come up with a plan overnight and that involved him being completely honest with them.

'Yes, she is. I think you guys have been trusted enough, Arya certainly trusts you, and that is no easy thing. She is Arya Stark, and I'm Jon Snow.'

'Her brother?' Robb looked disguised, Jon smiled thinking that was his reaction to his feelings towards Arya

'I know that you are thinking, I was thinking the same thing when but no, I'm not Arya's brother, I found out recently I'm not. Don't worry we haven't sunk to Cersei's level.' Jon said, sitting back down at Arya's head, Ellia walked quietly around to Arya's side

'What is your plan now?' she asked,

'I have to run it through you guys.' Jon said, he knew this was the way to help Arya, he only hoped Robb and Ellia would agree.

Arya

The first thing Arya felt slipping back into consciousness was pain, in her stomach and in her head. The pounding in her head made it hard to analyse her surroundings. She remembered fighting the Waif and seeing Jon's scared look when she was at the top of the stairs, but she couldn't be sure that was real. It could be a trick or a dream, no she needed to make sure before she tried to open her eyes. Once she got past the pain she heard voices, they sounded so far away, she couldn't make out what they were saying. She felt a calming presence on her legs, she only felt while she was with Nym.

Arya tried to push past her pain further trying to feel how many people were in the room, she felt the cold table she was lying on. The presence at her legs moved and she felt Nym's tongue licking her face. She swatted her hand and opened her eyes. She was met with Nym's beautiful eyes, she could never get tired of staring into them.

'Hey girl' she whispered, rubbing her hand between her friend's eyes. She heard the floorboards creak as a person moved to the left of her

'Arya?' Jon's head came into her line of sight, he was smiling, but she could see he was still worried, Nym jumped down from the table and Arya tried to sit up, but stopped by hands on her shoulders. She turned to see Ellia teary eyes holding her shoulders, she relaxed asking what happened.

'You killed her, but when you fell down the stairs you hit your head. Ellia and Robb got a Maester that helped sew you up, he said it was hard because of your old wounds. You're lucky to be alive.' Arya didn't know if she agreed with Jon, maybe if she had died then she would have been forgiven for her sins. Jon seemed to know what she was thinking because he held her hand and squeezed. 'You are lucky to be alive, there are other ways to be excused for your sins without leaving me in this world alone.' He told her, she looked at his eyes, she saw guilt, sadness and determination.

'How long was I out?' she asked

'four days' Ellia answered 'there was swelling on your head that needed to go down. Jon has a plan, to get out of Kingslanding, because they are still looking for Cersei's killer, Jon has invited us to come live in Wintefell, said it would be safer than staying here, Kingslanding is going to become an even worse place because of Cersei's death, there is no one legitimate claim to the throne anymore, everyone will fight for it. I hear The Mother of Dragons is coming for the throne, I don't want to be here when she decides to burn the city to the ground, like her father.' Ellia told her, Arya's eyes started getting heavy again and she closed her eyes, thinking only for a second.

When Arya opened her eyes again there was still pain in her stomach and a throbbing in her head but she ignored it. Jon was still sitting next to her holding her hand, she wondered if he had slept at all while she was out, he was frowning and muttering under his breath, loud enough for her to make out what he was saying.

'You should know by now Jon, your gods can't hear you so far south.' Arya stated, he looked up shocked, but smiled

'They kept you alive so they did answer my prays.' Arya didn't want to get into an argument with Jon about there being no gods, only death so she changed the topic,

'How long was I asleep this time?' she asked

'A day'

'it is true they are leaving Kingslanding?'

'Yes, Ellia is pregnant and, she doesn't want to raise a child here. They were just too poor to move. They looked after you, cared for you, haven't told anyone about you Arya, I couldn't just turn my back on them, they are the only people you have trusted since you were here last. So they must be very decent people.' Jon moved so he was closer to her

'When do they leave?' she asked

'They are packed, they were waiting for you to wake up, so they could say goodbye'

'we are not going with them?' she was confused

He chucked 'No, we are taking a boat, the old Maester that looked after you, said you have a lot of damage to your stomach, I'm not going to take that risk' he was hiding something

'What is it, what are you keeping from me?' she sat up quickly, but quickly became dizzy and lied back down, scrunching her eyes closed, until the dizziness subsided.

'I can't tell you yet, but we are making one stop before going home.' He said softly, she knew she should care he was keeping something from him, but his voice was genuine and gave her no reason not to trust it was for the best, so she just nodded.

She opened her eyes and looked back at Jon, she truly looked at him now, seeing how he had dark shadows under his eyes, he looked tired, upset and she saw confusion in his eyes,

'What is bothering you?' she asked softly,

He paused for a moment before he spoke 'I just got you back and you almost died again, I can't lose you Arya, I don't just mean you dying, I also mean, you drowning in your guilt, don't even deny it, I can see it. I'm also confused as to why you went up those stares by yourself, if you had died Arya and I could have saved you I would never have been able to forgive myself.'

She sat up very slowly and leaned over giving him a soft kiss before leaning her forehead against his

'I needed to do it by myself, I started it by killing the true Waif, I needed to be the one who finished it. I understand you are worried about me, I don't know what it must have been like seeing me at the bottom of those stairs, but I'm ok Jon, I'm here and I'm not going to leave you again, not ever.' She promised, Jon still didn't look happy but she could see he understood the need to finish something she started and she loved him for it.
