DRAGONSTONE

"Sansa" Jon almost just whispered his sister's name, who was standing right in front of him, after that many years. He did not see her, since that moment at the harbor in King's Landing, when he was banished to the Wall. Sansa was just standing there for a couple of seconds, and staring at him, then with a quick move, she was there right in front of Jon, and she jumped to his neck, and clinging in him. 
"Jon" she started to cry and squeezed him close. Jon hesitated for some more seconds, but then he placed his arms around her and hugged his sister. 
"I am glad you are alive," he told her quietly. She did not say any more words. She did not move away. She did not let him go. Dany arrived there and saw it. She saw the woman who destroyed her whole life in the arms of Jon Snow. She felt all the rage, all the hate, all the pain that Sansa caused for her. She felt how her heart started to beat faster. Yes, she wanted to help Sansa, she wanted to save her, because of Jon, but she was not even close to being prepared for this meeting. She thought she is, but no matter what she said with her lips, she did not think, she'll ever be able to forgive her. In a way, she was worse than Tyrion... or she felt it only because of that scene. That hug. It hurt her. Jon noticed the soldiers stopped talking with each other, and they straightened and looking a point behind his back. He knew that moment, Dany must be there. He took his hands off of his sister and took a step back. Sansa opened her eyes, and spotted the Dragon Queen. At the door. Their eyes were locked, in silence. Jon turned to his love, and anyone could feel the tension in the huge room. Jon tried to get her attention, he stepped between them and took Dany's hand. She raised her eyes at him and he immediately sees the pain and the doubt in those wonderful eyes. He did not say a word, but he begged him with his look, to not start a fight, to not do any hateful things, no matter how angry she is with her. 

"Our soldiers found her at the gates. She was trying to escape from the capital." Grey Worm informed Daenerys and she broke the silence. "Some of our soldiers immediately recognized her and brought her here with the fastest horses. you were right when you sent some dothrakies with them." he added. 
"Thank you." she turned to Grey Worm, then looked to the other soldiers."You can leave." she ordered them in valyrian "And you too." she turned to the few dothrakies and ordered them too in their language. 
"Are you sure, you don't want me to stay?" Grey Worm asked her in valyrian. 
"No. You can go. Thank you" she answered and swallowed. She waited until the door closed behind the soldiers. 
"Daenerys made a..." Jon wanted to explain the situation.
"How did you escape?" she cut him and looked at the red-haired girl. 
"You would have been happier if I had died, I know," Sansa answered and kept the distance from her. 
"If that were the case, I would have not sent you help." Dany raised her brow. "I ask again. How did you escape?" she was staring at her, with a narrow look. Doubtfully. 
"Quentyn Martell helped me to leave the capital. He risked his life for me." Sansa started. "He made sure, my door wasn't locked, and sent me some help to slip out from the castle. He told me, no one can get to know, that it was him. He left King's Landing too before I escaped. He went back to Dorne to strengthen his army." she continued. "The King doesn't suspect anything probably."
"I wouldn't have believed he'll be true to his words," Jon stated and sighed. He did not forget the pact Dany made with that Martell prince. He couldn't get it out of his head. 
"Where is your sister?" Dany was still so hostile, spacer. No matter how she tried, she can't be more kind. All that she wanted from deep in her heart, to burn that woman alive, without any hesitation. Only one thing holding her back. Jon Snow. 
"I ... I don't know. I haven't seen her since... since she tried to escape me weeks ago." Sansa shook her head and lowered it. "I don't even know she is alive or not." 
"She would have never left you alone there." Dany couldn't keep her mouth and told it straight to her face. 
"I did not leave her..." Sansa wanted to answer quickly but when she raised her eyes at Daenerys the words stuck on her throat. 
"You did. Because your life is more important than hers." Daenerys continued. She loved Arya by now as her sister, and she hoped she is the one, who escaped from the capital. "As always," she added then took a deep breath. "I'll send someone to show you your room, you must be tired." she wanted to get out from there. She couldn't restrain herself, and she was sure, if she stays longer with Sansa Stark, in the same room, she'll say something that causes a problem between her and Jon. "Welcome at Dragonstone, Lady Sansa." she made a face, then turned her back at them, and walked out from the room. As soon as the door closed behind her she tried to normalize her breath. She leaned to the wall and fight with her tears. Why she can't be Arya...
