The air was cool and the winds were strong. Below me, I could see hues of scarlet and shades of golden, with a handful of orange. Buildings were scattered around, some lights on and some lights off. The sun had barely risen.
It was so frigid outside, it might as well have been winter.
We stood there in silence for a long time, in thick scarves and puffy jackets.
“Why have you brought me here?” Cersei asked, her voice painted with curiosity. She was in awe of the view, you could see it in the way her eyes glittered as she admired the horizon in front of us.
“I just wanted to talk,” I mumbled.
But really, I didn’t want to talk.
I wanted revenge.
And a tall mountain was the perfect place to take it.
“Talk about what?” she asked. Was she oblivious of everything she’d done to me? Was she completely unaware of the crap I’d put up with all this time?
“Why did you do it?” I asked her flatly. She furrowed her eyebrows and took a deep breath.
“I’m not sure what you mean…”
I was just about ready to slap her, if that’s what it took to get an answer out of her.
“What do you mean, you don’t know what I mean?! How can you not know what I mean? After everything you’ve done, how can you not know?” I accused, and Cersei gave me a stare that was almost psychotic.
It was like, all of a sudden, the cold air had gotten colder.
“Your money?” she asked, and then she laughed out loud. “It’s all done and over with, why worry now?”
“I will worry now, because it was you who ruined my life! You’ve always ruined my life, Cersei, and I never took note of it!” I exclaimed.
“I want something, I’ll get it, Freya. I don’t think you’re in any place to confront me about what I’ve done. You know how important the money was to me, how desperate I was for it. How can you be so selfish?!” Cersei spat. I inhaled deeply and stood up, Cersei following along.
“You’re right, it is in the past, Cersei! Silly me, I shouldn’t have even brought it up. Let’s enjoy the view,” I said with a smile, and she nodded in satisfaction.
“Good girl.”
I fidgeted with my coat, and looked around quickly.
“I’m queen of the world!” Cersei yelled in joy, and she spun around in front of the view.
This was it.
This was the time.
Do it, Freya.
Do it.
