I was pulled out of my sleep by Camille gently shaking my shoulder

"Clara, clara!!! My dear we must get you ready, you will leave with an escort of your fathers men on horse back"

I groggily sat up in bed, it was so early that you could barely see anything outside my window.

I could see that Camille was trying to hold back tears as she arranged my hair.

Today I had chosen one of my thinner dresses, it was a simpleice blue gown with long hanging sleeves and a matching belt.

I twirled in the mirror, I could feel my nerves chewing at the edges of the confident smile I was putting on for Camille.

She sniffed and walked over to me, even though she was shorter than me, I felt as if I was a child again as she folded me into a warm hug

"You've grown so much, I'm sure they'll take great care of you but there's still that piece of my mind that knows that I'll be worrying about you every second of the day"

I kissed her on the cheek and looked her in the eyes.

"Camille, you've given me more than I could have ever asked for. It wasn't you're responsibility to take care of me after my mother died but you still stayed around, it's because of you that I still remember my mother. I'll never forget you"

I hugged her again and by the time we pulled away I had tears rolling down my cheeks.

As the sun started to give the new day a golden glow, there was a knock on the door.

Camille opened the door and waiting outside was one of my fathers men.

"Sorry m'lady, your father has ordered that we depart immediately"

I grabbed my thick hooded cloak and turned to Camille.

"I'll miss you, I'll write to you when I arrive"

She nodded at me, trying to hold back her tears.

I walked out the door with the guard and saw the emotion that Camille had been holding in escape as the door shut behind me.

I shivered as i stepped out the grand doors of the twins, i had worn a thin dress in anticipation for the southern heat but even thoguh i was wearing my thickest cloak, i was frozen to the bone.I hadn't been nallowed to take any of my possesions with me which made me even more concerned about what my purpose was at Kings Landing.

I was disappointed to find that no one had come to say goodbye to me, i didn't expect anything from my father but i thought atleast one of my siblings would come to say farewell.

A stable boy walked over with my horse and i mounted her in one swift movement. The gaurds whistled and our small group started to head down the road away from my home, away from everything i knew.

After three days on the road our journey was finally over. I felt horrible, dirty and sore from being on horse back for days and all i wanted was a proper meal and a bath.

As we exited the thick wood we arrived at the kings road, lined with trees and humid in the afternoon sun, we neared that gates and i saw the towers of the red keep peek above the tree line.

We rode through the flee bottom and the markets, two places i distinctly remembered from my childhood as places i enjoyed visiting.People poked their heads out of windows and doorways to watch our entourage of foreign gaurds trott through their streets.

We were let into the courtyard of the red keep by knights of the kings gaurd in shining golden armour and white cloaks.Our group came to a halt and as i attempted to descend my horse i slipped and fell, my arms were weak from riding and i couldn't hold my weight. A hand shot out to help me off the ground and when i was standing again i met the devilish eyes of Petyr Baelish.

"My dear lady frey, welcome to King's Landing"

I know that this chapter is really short and i know i have hardly spent any time writing about her at the twins but i have stuff planned, a i didn't want to draw out her departure from her home because it's not meant to be a very important event in her life, believe me, there's more to come ;)
