Arya and the Hound become aware of what might be going down inside the Twins. He gives her the brutal truth. They are attacked by three Frey knights. They survive because of his skills. But she still wants to see for herself. He stops her in less-than-gentle fashion. Mackelly and Simon give up trying to fix this poor broken child.
Chapter Review:
Arya Stark and Sandor Clegane (AKA the Hound) discover that the eastern castle of the Twins isn’t closed after all, as the guard said it was. Arya fights a smile of excitement and anticipation for the reunion with her mother and brother. However, those feelings are quickly squashed when the Hound knocks her to the ground in an attempt to hide her. Frey knights pour from the castle and chaos begins to reign in the camps. The feast tents have become flaming infernos.
Three Frey knights ride toward Arya and the Hound. The Hound takes on two, and the other tries to corral Arya. She’s confused, the Freys are her brother Robb’s friends, why are they attacking people? Before she can consider the question much longer, the Hound puts an ax through the skull of the knight chasing her, having already dispatched the other two knights.
The Hound bluntly tells Arya her family is dead and they must flee. Arya isn’t convinced. She wants to enter the castle and at least look for her mother. The camps are now a butcher’s field, and the Hound gives her an ultimatum. She flees now with him or stays and dies. Arya slips past him and runs for the rising drawbridge. The Hound charges after her on the back of Stranger. His ax takes her in the back of her head.
