Chapter Text
They did it, she thinks. They really did it. She looks over at Theon and she can see the surprise on his face too. They realize now they must run after killing Ramsey's lover. They look over the high ledge and the ground covered in snow hoping it could break their fall. Theon looked at her and held his hand out to her. She took it and before they could even think about what a crazy idea this was they jumped. Thank the gods for the heavy snow fall from the night before but it still hurt her battered body. Ramsey of course was not gentle and her body screamed from the cold wet snow. They both got up and started running towards the darkness of the trees, hoping to get a head start from Ramsey's beloved hounds. They knew he would be vengeful towards them for killing myranda. They ran and ran, through the snow covered trees, the branches scraping her face and pulling at her clothes. They made it to the river that as children they would play in with their siblings. Now it flowing fast, huge chucks if snow and ice passing by. She put her foot in and her breath escaped her. She has ice in her blood but never has she been this cold. She kept going forth til she and Theon were both up to their waist in this freezing hell. She slipped in the water, going below and seeing darkness. A part of her just wanted to stay there and just end everything, it would be so easy. Theon thankfully grabbed her and pulled her along the rest of the way. Once they reached the end of the river bank they heard the dogs howling in the wind. They forgot about their cold shivering selves and took off running once more but they know it was useless, they heard the sound of Ramsey's men coming up close. Theon looked over to her and in a hushed voice, "you need to hide, they can find me but you need to hide my lady". He shoved her by and fallen tree and she crawled under it, hoping the branches would cover her body. She didn't dare breath. She thinks to herself, "is this the end?"
