John Snow is A Girl

Chapter 35: Evil Thing!



Dead! My father is dead and I couldn't even master up the courage to see it. I am such a coward. From now on, I will not look away. Whatever happens, I will keep my eyes open and my grip firm on my sword.

When she was young, master Alfred made each of the What children a weapon on her father's command. Long and heavy swords for the boys, a dagger for her sister, and a long thin sword for her she calls Needle. The material is said to be superior than others, master Alfred said Olivia called it superior steel.

It is so good it can cut through armor and destroy the enemy's weapon in a confrontation. But she didn't have enough power to execute that kind of move with her weak arms.

However when she took the pill Olivia had given her in a far away cave during the hosting of the royal family she came out a different wolf than before taking it.

But the process was brutal and she never dared to take it in that time. She trained with the squires and they said she has strong bones like the mountain boar. Her movements became lighter and faster than them, but she still couldn't beat her teacher that her lord father hired for her.

The teacher said she is very strong and fast but is unable to make use of her instincts properly. Only real combat can help her there. So she started disappearing to hunt out side the castle.

But then Bran fell off the castle and broke his spine. Remembering her teacher and the other friends comments about her own bones she contemplated giving one pill to her brother.

She came and told him about it but her mother came inside and took her pill away. She hate Olivia so much that she didn't want anything to do with her in her child. Beside, the pill is not a healing pill but a 'strengthening' one which also comes with a lot of pain.

Arya became watched all the time after that and she couldn't sneak out. Now out of the city with only one pill, she needs to take it to be stronger and faster when going home but, the pain will be unimaginable.

The journey is long and full of danger but she managed to take the pill when everyone went to sleep, she sneaked out and went very far from the group and bit down on a log of wood. She was in so much pain, she ended up passing out.

.....

Olivia stood at the top of a mighty structure. One that has been recorded in the history books as impregnable. She looked at the dead watchmen on the floor. She had to land here as this is the last rooftop the has landed on. In about a day, the monument structure will disappear from the world.

The solution is called stone eater, in the last life time solutions like these were used to build quicksand in an area to create traps and she as an alchemist was part of the team to create them. Luckily she can fly now, so she skewered the world for the ingredients once she made up her mind about what she wanted to take away from Tywin. 

She dropped a handful of a solution on the stone structure. She had to put it on the roof so that when it start eating the stone away, people won't be harmed by hard stones falling on them. Every rooftop has now been infected and will soon turn the entire structure into smooth sand where nothing can ever be built again. 

She turned and flew towards her father's funeral. Entering a nearby inn where her guards are waiting for her. After washing up and dressing in mourning clothes, she left. When the family and the men are gathered to send him off, since they are not home, she is going to be burned in the river. 

Olivia wore an elegant vail on her face hiding the deep sadness. When she approached, the men stopped her, the one in the front is Jon Umber looking at her with a fierce expression. "This is a close ceremony. Family only." He put his hand on his sword but didn't draw it." 

"I made medicinal soup for my father's name sake, your son once. When I delivered it to your wife I told her the child's health will keep declining if he sleeps in the same room with his father. You became furious and demanded and explanation, do you remember my one answer to you? Go on, let's say it together." She took off her vail revealing her pale face, the eyebrows, eye lashes and all her hair is now white as snow. 

"You have too much bloodlust on you." She said amidst the surprised gasps from the crowd. 

"Snow, hahahaha...the bloody Snow of the North is back!" He must have remembered where he is and calmed down with a slight cough. Olivia looked at lord Great Jon Umber and smiled sadly. 

"When I met you my lord as I was traveling with father for the construction of the apartments water system. Do you remember what you said to me when a worker was injured and I attended to them for treatment?" 

"You said... You have the eyes of a killer." 

Great Jon just nodded with a sad smile. "I have come to attend my father's funeral. I have the right to be here after all it was me who un plucked his severed head from a spike." She took a step forward but someone stood in her way growling. 

It is Grey wind the dire wolf of the young Stark. Olivia took off her leather black leather glove long enough to cover her arm. When she took it out, a long pale arm with painted black nails came out and without hesitation, she let the wolf sniff her. 

Grey wing licks her hand making her smile a radiant smile. She then started petting it as it sniggled into her licking her face making her giggle. The picture is so beautiful it leaves most of the men dazed. The crying Caitlyn is furious but she doesn't want to make a disturbance. 

Her brother Robb Stark walks to the two playing people and stand in front of them. The scene becomes tense and an awkward silence descended while Olivia stood up facing her half brother with her previous smile wiped off her face. 

"Snow." Robb said.

"Stark." She responded 

They then hugged warmly making those who were expecting to see chaos disappointed and the rest exhaled in relief. "Lets send father off. Thank you for returning him home." 

"I was on my way to steal gold from the red keep and his head was there, rotting in the sun. Father's body belongs to the cold." Robb looked at her in surprise. 

The funeral was brief, it is times of war after all. They convened in his tent afterwards where they had a meal with everyone sharing stories of Ned Stark. Caitlyn looked at Olivia and thought about approaching but ultimately decided against it. 

Olivia is playing with Grey wind until she approached her brother to inquire about the where Sir Jaime is held. She wants a word. Robb stood up and went out with her. "Now can you explain to me what happened to the rock?" Robb wanted to know quickly. 

"Patient. Lets meet with the king slayer." They walked while she looked at him. "King in the North is it?" She chuckled. Robb looked shy. "I like it. The north should sever ties with Southerner politics in the south, but I have bad news for you and all the other four kings. A Targaryen girl has brought dragons from facilized dragon eggs. She has three of them. One blood red, one golden brown and one black." She looked at the stunned Robb. 

"You have seen this with your eyes?" 

"I saw it." It's true she saw it in the dragon dream she had with Daenerys at that time.

"Is that why you came? To tell us to wash our knees so we can kneel to this foreigner?" Robb is suspicious Olivia came looking like a Targaryen and now she is singing stories of dragons. 

"You southerners amuse me, suspicious of everyone to the point of fearing your own shadow. This is your mother talking, it is not how a Northerner should feel towards family. But I understand, my appearance has put everyone on edge and it should. Targaryen's destroyed house Stark and there is no reason to trust that the next one will be any different." 

" I am glad we are on the same page." 

"But brother, Targaryen's are not actually rulers, the only thing they know how to do is to conquer. My advice? Preserve your strength for when she comes you don't present a sorry image. She might not come and die on that side in which case my advice will still serve you well. Preserve as much out your army as possible."

She walked into the place to find Jaime is in a much sorry state than one would expect. She looked at him in surprise. "Someone chopped off his hand?" She looked to her brother who sneered but didn't answer. 

"You didn't order it?" To which Robb shook his head. "This complicate things." 

"He only lost a hand while father lost his head." Robb protested. 

"You should have cut off his cock instead." She said watching Jaime shake a little.

"What?" Robb is surprised at this. 

"His hand killed the man who murdered our grandfather, his cock fathered a bastard who killed our father. If you consider this revenge for what he has done then you should have cut off his cock instead." She looked at Robb in the face.

"That is..." 

"Dishonorable? Cruel? Unnecessary? Then explain why you didn't punish the one who did this because I can tell you the man who fathered him will commit the most unnecessary cruel to you that will make the night king feel a chill up his spine. Fuck." She kicked a nearby barrel and it exploded in pieces scaring both Robb and the silent Jaime. 

"What about you? You just told me what you did to their castle?" Robb wanted to find something to excuse. 

"Me? You can not compare yourself with me. Why do you thing any of these fools with golden hair are still drawing breath after what they did to father?" 

The room quieted down. "Because I am giving the North and you his heir to avenge him the way that I know my uptight honorable father would have done it." 

"Such arrogance. You are letting me?!" Angry at her words but Olivia ignored him and continued to speak. 

"You better clean this up because if I take the matter of revenge into my hands, you will never be able to sleep at night wondering it what you heard I did was really done by me. It will smear our father's name and from that day every Northern lord who suspect any of his mistresses to be pregnant with a bastard will strangle them in their sleep." She unconsciously released pressure making the two unable to breath.

Realizing what she has done, she took several deep breaths and threw a bottle to her brother. "Make a choice, that pill will regrow his hand. Give it to him and then cut off his cock or let things as they are but this is clear sign of sabotage, this did not happen on it's own. Someone is trying to exacerbate the conflicts." She explained slowly. 

"Why should I care about exacerbating conflicts with the people who took my father from me?"

"You shouldn't but you should worry if someone is trying to manipulate the situation and by extent manipulate you. You don't have to take my word for it but find the one who did this and interrogate them on who put them up to this, I could be wrong. In which case you don't lose anything but if I am right... what kind of king are you?" 

"You make a good point, but your advice of cutting off my cock is also manipulation." Jaime has come closer to the door and is listening to their conversation. He finally said something when he saw an opportunity. 

Olivia smiled. "I must say, the reason I said it was because if it was me, that is what I would have done but I am wrong to tell you, a king what to do. The prisoner is not wrong, I have overstayed my welcome." She smiled at her frowning brother. 

"You have something that can regrow severed limbs? Bran.." 

"Is not my problem." Olivia said coolly. "I would heal him if he was a stable boy or a farmer's daughter but he is her son, your bitch mother and him laying there like that forever must break her heart. Isn't that right Caitlyn?" He looked at a place where she has been hiding for a long time. 

Caitlyn came out from her hiding spot looking like she wants to say something. Robb felt heart broken knowing Olivia would go this far to harm his mother. "You evil thing! Bran is your blood and you would leave him be crippled all his life. Your father was wrong about you." 

"There she is, The red wolf. spitting fire every time I see her. You should be happy that father was wrong, because it would mean you were right. How does it feel? Knowing your cute baby boy will never walk again?" 

"Olivia!" 

"My apologies your grace. Your mother brings out the best of me. Here is another one. Now that Jaime is mutilated like this do you imagine what will happen to sweet Sansa? You remember what happened to the Martel and she had been an actual princess for longer than your daughter. I am saying this because I know what you are thinking, use this miracle pill to heal Bran but then you would be essentially giving up on your daughter. 

"Shut up!" 

"I was wrong, I think I am going to stay here longer and watch you. You are very dangerous when it comes to your children. You are queen Cersei that way. A fact she didn't consider when she asked her lover to push your son off the window." Caitlyn gritted her teeth in anger.

"Enough!" 

"Fine, so what are you going to do your grace? I recommend finding out the truth before making any decisions." 

"I have made my decision. The pill will go to Winterfell immediately." This brought a big smile on Olivia's face. 

"Robb No!" Caitlyn squirmed in pain. This means Robb has given up on his sister. 

"I have more news now that you have shown such a stance. Maybe it will help you with things like your conscience. When King Robert asked father to bring me to kneel I was amused and sent him a covert team that would bring him and his daughters out of kings landing in a moment's notice." 

"Sansa pretended to require privacy and informed Cersei of father's plan to bring them out of Kings landing." 

"Lair!" Caitlyn said 

"It gets better, She told father to just forget about Jeffery being a bastard and kneel to the king like a good dog should. She said 'Stannis already has a wife, you mean to take away my noble title for a foolish reason like honor.' Guess you told her that Northern traditions and customs are barbaric and unnecessary in the modern and sophisticated south?" Olivia turned to Caitlyn who couldn't deny it because Olivia used her exact words.

"Is this true?" Robb's teary eyes turned to his mother. Then she turned to Olivia. "How do you know this?" 

"The same way I know the hand that pushed your brother down the castle is the one that is still intact. I was watching through many eyes. My people tell me they were enjoying the show between the siblings when your son came up, instead of rushing down immediately he watched until the queen sported him." 

"You have spies in our home?" 

"Otherwise? I should wait for your mother to send men to try and rape me again? Be surprised when it happens and get caught off guard?" Olivia blinked. Robb became stunned and sharply turned to his mother looking to see her declare Olivia a lair but she only looked guilty. 

Jaime whistled. Olivia chuckled at her brother's surprise. "For a king, you are easily surprised. I know at least two girls queen Cersei had rapped and brutalized because they stared at Sir Jaime over there for too long." 

"That is not true, Cersei is ruthless but..." He is interrupted by Olivia's unladylike snort. 

"Ruthless? Your father is ruthless, at the very least he target people who offend him. Your sister is what we and by 'we' I means normal thinking humans call vicious." 

"Then perhaps you should convince your brother to be more obedient." 

"Perhaps, but the Stark I cared about is already taken from me by her deranged son. I don't care what she does now. What I care about is revenge and I will have it, if you have ever gone hunting you would be familiar with the kind of prey I am now. The kind that has nothing to lose." 

"If that was true than you wouldn't be here." Jaime call bullshit. 

"I have affection for my half siblings but I have hatred for their mother even more. I won't harm them and if someone harms them I will avenge them. But this way of fighting is not my style, I will wait until they either fail or succeed." she answered. 

"What about help? Are you willing to help?" Robb asked.

"Sure, I will help your grace but my people are enemies with the north below the wall. Can you be sure they won't start killing each other before going south?" Olivia smirked when she saw his reaction. 

"I am already helping you, your grace. Remember what I said I did to the Rock?" She laughed when Robb is brought back to that statement. 

"What did you do? How do we know you are not risking Sansa's life?" Caitlyn saw a way to wash the attention from her. 

"I melted the rock, hehe..." 

"Tsk, Targaryen's." Caitlyn said in distain.

"For your information I did not use fire, I used science. I can't say I leave the fight to my brother..."

"Half brother." Caitlyn said with aggression. 

"Anyways, If I hurt people, it would defeat the purpose of a clean revenge." 

"So how did you do it?" 

"I turned stone into soil. Now I am not saying no one will die, Its a quicksand it is like water but worse, there is no way to see your way out." 

"....." 

"Well, I am on my way to a friend of mine. I will see you people whenever I can." She turned and eight golden black cloaked armored men appeared on all around her.

Their appearance is so sudden, it shocked everyone. Seeing their fast movements, Robb gritted his teeth and shouted but Caitlyn is also shouting at the same time.

"Wait!"

"Sir Corman!"

Olivia turned and looked at them. "Robb, these are the men who escorted me to the Vale safely."

Jaime understood that these men would be very hard to face in battle. "If I remember correctly, they also escorted my little brother."

Robb looked to Olivia for an explanation but she shrugged. "I enjoy the imp, I was considering using him as an experimental body to cure Dwarfism. That was before his family killed my father."

"They helped me against a strong group of mountain clan, are you saying you made them do it?" Caitlyn sneered. "These people are loyal to the Starks, they probably went against your orders to save me and escorted Tyrion to avoid the war from breaking out while Ned was still in the Red keep."

The men kept silent. "I see madness runs in your blood. Father asked me to find out the one behind the plot for conflict when he learned 'you' were involved and in the eye of the storm."

Caitlyn wanted to say something but Olivia scoffed and continued. "I was initially not interested until I remembered that your sister who was the source of your information about the Lannisters plotting to kill her husband and your son was the same person who wrote to you all these years ago." Olivia smiled when she saw her frown.

"She and your dear friend Petyr Baelish convinced you to disgrace me and then send me to Petyr's brothel to become a whore like my mother probably was."

"Surprised are you? Who do you think tipped off the old Hand of the king to go after your dear friend for sleeping with his wife and stealing from the crown?" Caitlyn gasps.

"How..how did you find out? Ned burned those letters?" She shook, it finally donned on her just how evil this child is. Olivia walked towards her and stood a good distance away from her.

"How do you like it? The monster That you created. Do you like your hand work?" Her amused smile turn a thin line.

"When father asked me to help him I saw an opportunity to humiliate you and your sister in one fell swoop. Disgrace your Tully name by the way. It worked out so well I was surprised. So no, I wouldn't let you die because you are not done paying for your sins."

"Are you saying you are coming after my mother?"

"If it was someone a little more challenging, I don't want to lie brother Would come after her and by the time I am done with her she would be begging fir death. But she is just a stupid woman who was brainwashed as a child. For now, I will take solace in knowing that she loved father and because of her obsession with the seven and its hateful teachings..." She looked colder now.

"The man is dead. The satisfaction doesn't take away my own pain of losing him so I will play with the Lannisters until they bore me. Most importantly, she doesn't know when she will see all her children and I know she loves her noble Stark pups."

"You evil..."

"Gods, can you add other words on your vocabulary? You have been saying that since I was three." She rolled her eyes.

"Now, I am little confused here, are all your men this strong? If so, are you perhaps waiting for your brother's army to weaken then claim the entire North for yourself?"

"To what end? So I can be surrounded by pretenders like the Bolton's and lords who hate wildlings like the Umber family? I left the seven kingdoms for a reason. The true North doesn't have the seven faith and politics like the south."

"So you're running from your stepmother? How ...underwhelming." He expected her to get angry but she surprised him.

"That is true, I am running away from my father's wife. Growing up, father gave me little tests and lessons to try and curve my impulses. He figured me out and tried to help me. This is why you survived my childhood. Now however, he is gone and if I am forced to live with you...who knows?" She shrugged. 

"What? Were you hoping I become angered by your words? I already know I am evil, after all she said it all the time. But my father cared for me enough to try and help me. Unlike your father's way of raising your evil sister. He chose to ignore the problem, hell he probably doesn't think it is a problem at all. Which leaves you with a big problem. Because you are not evil, not even a little bit. But you do evil things because you love her." 

"How philosophical.." Jaime started with sarcasm. 

"but that is not where your tragedy ends. Let me tell you why. Your sister doesn't love you." She saw a well hidden scowl on his face. 

"Do you know why I know? Ask any woman they will tell you the same thing. Woman can not love a man they can manipulate. You are too weak willed which is why even with your genuinely good nature, you can still be used as the agent of evil." 

"You can deny it but it's true. It doesn't matter if it is some other person, relationships are usually one sided but you are a tragic case because you have sacrificed your soul for this relationship but you will never be loved by her. It's your father's fault you know?" 

"How is her not loving him Tywin's fault?" Robb is enjoying Jaime's suffering because just like Olivia, he can see that this conversation is getting to him.

"He ignored her while she thrived to prove her self to him. He had inherited a weak legacy so he had to be a hard man who worked three times as normal lord paramount this made him neglect his children. Bur Cersei saw it as power being all consuming so she decided the only thing that matters in the world is power." She looked at Jaime who has decided to ignore her and turned to leave but...

"You said your army is not disciplined. Do you consider them undisciplined or you just don't want to give us any help?" Robb asked.

"I never said my army is undisciplined. I said they will kill each other, what I failed to mention is who will be dying." She smiled and left with fast steps.
