Maggy allowed Cersei three questions and made the prophecy of the valonqar (High Valyrian for "little brother"), which haunted Cersei thereafter. When Melara took her turn, Maggy predicted that she would die young, and hinted that it would be by Cersei's hand.
Cersei could have not pushed Melara down a well, and that portion of Maggy’s prophecy would have been null and void. In ADWD/AFFC, this late in the game, she could have gone to Casterly Rock. Left King’s Landing and Tommen would he safe. She could have taken Kevan’s deal, but she wouldn’t.
But now I'm wondering if Cersei wasn't involved with pushing Melara down the well instead of her dying by accidentally tripping and falling. "Yet she soon fell down a well and drowned." Melara had begged her never to speak of the things they heard that night in the maegi's tent."

- Well, Martin wouldn't be the first author to treat prophecies in this manner. Cersei's own actions in attempting to prevent/forestall this pr...
Nov 21, 2014 · Once Cersei made up her mind that Tyrion murdered Joffery, she had plenty of reason to fear and loathe him--and she had reason before Joffery's death just by virtue of Tyrion being a dwarf, Joanna Lannister's death, and--well--Cersei being Cersei. I think the prophecy is supposed to do a few things.
According to Cersei, Melara fell down a well and drowned not long after hearing the prophecy. She recalls that Melara "was not so silent in the well" and that she had "screamed and shouted". [7]
