little bit lost and...
[ Action // Catelyn Stark ]
[ Rubbing sleep from her eyes, Arya steps into the shared sitting room. Spotting her mother, she walks up behind Cat and slides her arms in a hard hug around Cat's waist. ]
[ Father ]
People say that this place can bring the dead here and give them life and that no one stays dead really. I didn't believe them, but then Robb showed up and he said... [ Her voice breaks. When she continues, she sounds like what she has always refused to be. A little girl. ] Are they with you somewhere? Sansa says they died a long time ago for her, but they're here now. Did you see them? Did they see you?
[ She doesn't cry. Some hurts are beyond even tears. ]
[ Once she has regained control, she writes a filter to Yuan. She observes the letters she printed as neatly as her handwriting allows.
Then she draws a thick black line across them. ]
[ Cair Paradisa ]
Listen here, you old castle. You're going to bring back the two people you killed. I know you did it. And you're going to find my father and bring him here too. And you cannot. Kill him. You cannot even hurt him. Or my mother or my brothers or-or my sister. Did you hear that?
[ Belle. Sansa Stark. ]
[ She turns the idea over in her head before adding Sansa's name to the filter. She heard from her sister while she was lost. From Sansa, not Alayne. Arya prefers Sansa. Missed her even. And she likes Belle. Arya still thinks her vaguely touched in the head to fall in love with her captor, but she can overlook that flaw. ]
You said you wanted to learn to use a sword, right? I don't know if I'd be a good teacher, but I can show you what I know.
[ Her dancing master would have liked that, Arya thinks. ]
[ Jon Snow and Robb Stark ]
I want to go out, but Mother doesn't want me going alone. [ Yes, it's all Cat's fault. It has nothing to do with her not wanting to be alone. n o p e. ] Let's go somewhere. Robb too if you feel well.

It started in the library. We broke open the cage that had this book in it. It's the biggest book I've seen and it said Cair Paradisa in front. It had the story about this place. But then all the books attacked us.
[ Absentmindedly, she rubs her head where a particularly heavy time clocked her. ]
They flew off the shelves and started hitting us. We ran out. Flynn and I saw a castle through a spyglass and we tried to get there.
We noticed a shadow following us. It caught up to us really fast. It was this black...thing. With tentacles. I had the book and I tried asking it for help. We got swords and crossbows and all these other things, but no matter how much we cut it or shot it, it wouldn't stop.
It followed us all the way to the stairs going up to the castle. Something fell out of the sky and broke the stairs. I almost fell and it caught me. I had a sword but it was too heavy and I couldn't hold it right. Others tried to help. Yuan jumped on top of it and cut me free. It stabbed him, Mother. He was right in front of me.
When the bridge appeared, we tried to cross. The other boy got hit because he pushed Belle out of the way. It threw him through one of the castle's windows.

I have heard that too often.
