Chapter 37: TALON

"What the fuck! Babe what's wrong?" I heard her screaming for me from all the way downstairs; by the time I met her in the hallway on the second floor I was well on my way to a heart attack. I grabbed her as she came barreling towards me.

"My mom, on the phone, she said..." She was babbling and out of breath and her body was shaking like a leaf. None of this was good to me and I still didn't know where the threat was.

"Calm down babe, come 'ere." I pulled her face into my chest and held on, now my heart was racing. Something had scared the fuck out of my baby and the way this day was shaping up I wasn't in the mood for any more surprises.

"Okay now take your time and tell me."

"Mom said dad made a deal, he sold me to William Stark and if they find me they'll force me to marry Robert." Her words ran together but I got the gist of it all and all I could think was, yeah okay, that fucker must be tired of living, the fuck.
