Lydia Lannister

"Sweet dreams baby," I said and held her against me, watching her as she fell asleep, then falling asleep myself, content with holding her in my arms. 

I ran all the way back to my room and when I finally made it I ran past Colton and into the bathroom, locking myself in. I fell back against the door and slid down to the floor.

I stood there stunned for a minute then went to the door, knocking on it. "Lydia? Baby what's wrong? Talk to me, please." 

"I can't. You...you should go."

"I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what's wrong. Open this door." 

"I can't. Not right now...please." 

"Then I'll be out here waiting when you are. I'm not leaving you Lydia, not when you're like this." 

I knew he wouldn't leave unless I talked to him but I didn't want to him to see me upset. No one ever really had before. I tried to collect my bearings the best I could and then I stood up and opened the bathroom door. "I...I have really bad news."

"What is it baby? Just spit it out."

"It's about Robert and I. My father has requested that I marry him. Or more like...he told me I had no other choice."

I didn't say anything for a minute. "Excuse me? You're fucking joking right."

I shook my head "I'm not. He captured a lot of people and brought them back here and he gave most of the women away to soldiers. He just....gave them away."

"The people that went to the wilderness?" I asked, trying to wrap my head around everything she was saying, but my mind seemed to refuse to comprehend anything.

I nodded and the tears started to fall. "Yes. He found them...some got away but only a few and Joy Anna...she's in prison."

"Oh my god." I shook my head and went to her, wrapping my arms around her. "Everything's gonna be okay baby. I don't know how, but I'll make everything okay," I said and kissed the top of her head. 

"What am I going to do?"

"I don't know baby," I said, holding her tighter to me. "I wish I knew. I'd say let's run away, but... yeah, we both know how well that would go down." 

"I would never put you in jeopardy like that. Who knows what will happen to Ian for leaving with Joy Anna."

"I know. I don't even want to think about it." 

"I'm so sorry."

"For what? This isn't your fault baby," I said and kissed her softly. "I'm not gonna lose you. I don't care if we have to sneak around even more now. I'm not gonna lose you," I said and kissed her again.

"What if we get caught? I don't want anything to happen to you."

"We'll just make sure we're not caught. I'm still your body guard Lydia. I have to be with you at all times," I said and smirked a little. 

"Just hope he doesn't give you another assignment after...I'm married."

"Talk to Robert. You don't have to tell him we're together, just try to... convince him... that I've done a good job as your bodyguard. You haven't snuck out or anything since I started working here. You've been the model daughter. Well, except for what goes on in here, but that's no one's business. We'll figure everything out baby."
