CASTLE BLACK COURTYARD - DAY

Several Night's Watch brothers allied to ALLISER THORNE are pointing crossbows at the room that DAVOS and the other Night's Watch brothers allied with JON SNOW are holed up. ALLISER THORNE approaches the door to the room with several men and knocks. The Night's Watch brothers inside draw their sword and GHOST growls. DAVOS stands up and walks to the door. ALLISER THORNE knocks again.

ALLISER THORNE: Ser Davos, we have no cause to fight. We are both anointed knights.

DAVOS: Hear that, lads? Nothing to fear.

ALLISER THORNE: I will grant amnesty to all brothers who thrown down their arms before nightfall. And you, Ser Davos, I will allow you to travel south, a free man with a fresh horse.

DAVOS: And some mutton. I'd like some mutton.

ALLISER THORNE: What?

DAVOS: I'm not much of a hunter. I'll need some food if I'm gonna make it south without starving.

ALLISER THORNE: We'll give you food. You can bring the Red Woman with you if you like. Or you can leave her here with us, whichever you choose. But surrender by nightfall or this ends with blood.

DAVOS: Thank you, Ser Alliser. We'll discuss amongst ourselves and come back to you with an answer.

ALLISER THORNE and his men leave.

"Davos is trying to to stall so that Edd could bring in the Wildlings, but will it even work?" Renly Baratheon couldn't help but ask

Aemon turned his head towards Renly, "They don't have a choice but to trust Edd after all it's not like they wouldn't be slaughtered the moment they open the door."

"Why? Maybe he really is telling the truth?" Tonmen questions

"He killed the previous Lord commander through a mutiny and more he needs to remove all his supporters permanently otherwise he may end up getting stabbed to death just like what he did to me and he can't let Davos leave and tell everyone what he did as that would also cause problems for him so he will kill them all" Aemon explained

"And I beleive all of them know that as well" Margaery said while ponting towards the screen.

DAVOS: Boys, I've been running from men like that ll my life. In my learned opinion, we open that door --

NIGHT'S WATCHMAN #1: And they'll slaughter us all.

NIGHT'S WATCHMAN #2: They want to come in, they're gonna come in.

DAVOS: Aye, but we don't need to make it easy for them.

NIGHT'S WATCHMAN #2: Edd is our only chance.

NIGHT'S WATCHMAN #1: It's a sad fucking statement if Dolorous Edd is our only chance.

DAVOS: There's always the Red Woman.

NIGHT'S WATCHMAN #1: What's one redhead gonna do against 40 armed men?

DAVOS: You haven't seen her do what I've seen her do.

"Davos doesn't know what she did cause if he knew than he would have killed her with his own hands" Shireen said while sitting between her bastard cousins Mya and Gendry.

"Most likely! He loved you like a daughter and he won't let her go when he finds out about it." Mya said as she grabbed Shireen's hand.

CASTLE BLACK - MELISANDRE'S CHAMBER

MELISANDRE is sitting at the edge of her bed by a fire. She looks across the room at a small mirror standing on a table, then walks over to it. MELISANDRE gazes into the mirror, then disrobes. She removes her collar. The gemstone in its center glimmers. She places the collar on the table beside the mirror. The mirror's reflection reveals that her appearance has changed to that of an en extremely elderly woman. MELISANDRE continues to stare at herself in the mirror, then walks back over to the bed and gets under the covers.

"Ugh! WTf! What did I see?" Tyrion said while spitting his wine.

"Eeww" Tonmen said he closed his eyes while trying to remove the image out of his mind.

The rest were also disturbed by how weird her body became suddenly.

"Seriously what happened is it because of Black magic?'' Mya Stone asked

"Who knows maybe she is an old women and uses magic to appear young," Aemon Targaryen said

"That means Stannis slept with a Grandma" Renly said with a smile hearing which Robert laughed as well.

Jon Arryn just shook his head at the antics of the Baratheon brothers.

CASTLE BLACK COURTYARD - NIGHT

The Night's Watch members allied to ALLISER THORNE are poised with crossbows pointed at the room DAVOS and the other Night's Watch members faithful to JON SNOW are in. ALLISER THORNE is outside the door to the room, accompanied by several others who are loyal to him. Inside the room, JON SNOW's body remains on the table. DAVOS, the faithfuls, and GHOST are all standing.

ALLISER THORNE: It's time, Ser Davos. Open the door and the men inside can rejoin their brothers in peace. We'll even set the wolf free north of the Wall where it belongs. Nobody needs to die tonight.

DAVOS turns to address the Night's Watch faithfuls.

DAVOS: I've never been much of a fighter.

DAVOS walks over to Longclaw, JON SNOW's sword, and picks it up.

DAVOS: Apologies for what you're about to see.

DAVOS unsheathes Longclaw. The faithfuls follow suit, drawing their own blades. ALLISER THORNE turns to address a Night's Watchman.

"No! Where is Edd?" Robb asked

"It looks like he couldn't get the Wildlings support" Arya added anxiously

ALLISER THORNE: Come on.

The Night's Watchman lifts and large hammer and walks over to the door. He begins slamming the hammer against the door repeatedly. GHOST begins to growl and bark. DAVOS and company ready themselves for battle. After a number of swings, the Night's Watchman with the hammer breaks a hole in the door. A loud thudding can be heard somewhere behind ALLISER THORNE and company. They turn to see what the noise is. The thudding is coming from one of the courtyard's main gates. WUN WUN breaks down the gate and the Wildlings led by TORMUND and DOLOROUS EDD rush into the courtyard. The Night's Watch loyal to ALLISER THORNE have bows drawn at the Wildlings but do not fire. They back up slowly.

"Yes! yes, kill them. Show these traitors the gates of hell" Arya shouted in excitement

"Arya control' yourself" Catelyn said but she didn't have the same sterness in her voice as before.

ALLISER THORNE: Attack!

ALLISER THORNE draws his sword. A Night's Watchman charged TORMUND. TORMUND cuts him down. The other Night's Watch members do not retaliate.

ALLISER THORNE: Fight, you cowards!

A Night's Watchman on a balcony shoots WUN WUN in the shoulder with a crossbow bolt. WUN WUN turns to face the man, then grabs him by the legs, slams him against a wall, and tosses his body to the ground in front of ALLISER THORNE. The Night's Watch members allied to ALLISER THORNE begin dropping their weaponry. TORMUND and DOLOROUS EDD approach ALLISER THORNE, swords drawn.

ALLISER THORNE (to DOLOROUS EDD): You fucking traitor.

DOLOROUS EDD: The only traitors here are the ones who shoved their knives into their Lord Commander's heart.

ALLISER THORNE: For thousands of years the Night's Watch has held Castle Black against the Wildlings.

TORMUND: Until you.

OLLY shouts and charges at TORMUND with his sword. TORMUND grabs OLLY and disarms him, then tosses him to another man who restrains him. Two men take ALLISER THORNE by the arms.

DOLOROUS EDD: Throw them into the cells where they belong.

The men drag ALLISER THORNE, OLLY, and the Night's Watch betrayers away. TORMUND, DOLOROUS EDD, and DAVOS enter the room where JON SNOW's body is. They stare down at him and his wounds.

TORMUND: Took a lot of knives. I'll have my men get the wood for a fire. Bodies to burn.

"That's it! Why didn't they kill any of them?" Arya asked

"They will be executed, when their time comes Arya. You don't have to worry none of them are going to be survive" Aemon explained.

"Now they are going to burn your body" Robb said

Arya's head whipped towards Robb in surprise "No! Don't they have a red priest can't she revive him like that drunk red priest Thoros of Myr did for Beric Dondrrion"

"Who knows!?"
