Sansa's Return There's a knock at my door. "Princess Arya? Someone is here to see you!" "Tell them to go away!" I shout. "I don't want to see anyone!" "Princess, they say it is urgent." The servant sounds desperate. Whoever this visitor is must have bullied them something awful. "Fine!" I throw Needle to the floor. I can keep cleaning it when this person is gone. I open the door, and allow the servant to take me downstairs. "You look awful frightened!" I say. "Was the visitor mean to you?" "No, not at all, my lady!" They assure me quickly. I raise my eyebrows. "A little bit. It doesn't matter though!" They tell me. I am outraged. "Yes, it does. I will talk to them about it." "In there, my lady." The servant points to the doors of the Great Hall. "Thank you." I push them open and close them behind me. Someone is sitting on the stone steps. "Hey, you!" I shout. "How dare you walk in here and be mean to one of my servants!" The person looks up. "Arya?" My hand flies to my throat. "Sansa!" I go and sit next to her once I've got my breath back. "Why are you here?" "I had to see you." She says. "I have to tell you something." "Sansa, I know you're married to the Imp. Everyone in Westeros knows that." I tell her. "I know they do." She sounds bitter. "Then what in the seven hells do you want to tell me?" I say jokingly. She picks up on the joking tone and smiles. "Arya, you're going to be an aunt." My mouth falls open. Then I start laughing. "You silly thing, Sansa! Robb is dead and Jon is of the Nights Watch! He took his vows, and Jon never ever breaks his word!" Sansa takes hold of me by the shoulders. "Arya, look at me." I look into my sister's blue eyes. "I know Robb is dead. And I know Jon would never break the vows he made. It's not them. It's me." "Really, Sansa? For true? You aren't playing games with me? It's not April Fools yet, you know." I remind her. She giggles. "I know that, Arya. It wasn't a joke. Yes, it's true." She looks at me anxiously. "Are you happy?" I take a deep breath, and smile. "Of course I am. And you know what else?" "What?" She says softly. "I missed you." "Oh Arya, I missed you too!" We both burst into tears and throw our arms round each other.
