Queen in the north
A/N I don't own Game of Thrones, I only own my OC
My father, Lord Richard Brooks of Arrovia was still good friends of Eddard Stark even after the war had ended and even though they had not seen each other in years, they still kept in contact. We were setting off for Winterfell today. I was glad to be able to see Jon Snow and Robb Stark again because I had not seen them since I was 6. My mother Eleanor was glad to be able to see Catelyn Stark again as the two of them were friends even before the war. Out of my family, I was the eldest at 17 and looked the most like my mother with my dark brown hair, light blue eyes and similar facial features. My younger brother William (he is 14) resembled my father in looks along with his black hair but had my mother's light blue eyes. Elizabeth was my 6 year old sister that had brown eyes like my father and my mother's brown hair.
The royal family was also visiting Winterfell the same time as our family so we were hoping to arrive before them. For the last couple hours we were traveling I decided to ride the rest of the way instead of in the carriage despite my mother's protests. Winterfell was soon in sight and as we rode through the gates I saw the Stark family waiting for us all lined up. I looked for Robb and quickly found him, smiling as I met his eyes. He had become handsome over the years and more muscular. I got off my horse and went to greet the Starks.
Standing beside Catelyn was a little boy, who I assumed was Rickon, the youngest of the Stark's. Sansa was 2 when I had last visited and now at 13 had grown a lot since that time. Standing beside Sansa was Bran and Arya, the 2nd and 3rd youngest of the Starks. I had not met Rickon, Bran or Arya as I had not seen them the last time I had been at Winterfell. Once the introductions had been made, my father went with Ned to catch up and my mother went with Catelyn. My siblings decided to join the younger Starks as I walked up to Robb.
"It's been a while Robb." I greeted.
"It has," he agreed. Theon and Jon started walking with us as we walked to the courtyard.
"Are you still terrible at archery Theon," I challenged.
"I'm pretty sure I'm better than you," he answered.
"Shall we test that theory, Greyjoy?"
"You're on, Brooks."
Robb handed me a bow while Jon gave one to Theon. I tested the bow to figure out how much strength I needed to use.
"Would you like to go first?" I asked.
"Are you sure? I don't want to beat you too badly."
"I doubt that. Just shoot the arrow."
Theon shot the arrow, getting a bull's-eye. I got into position and pulled back the arrow, relaxing my bow arm. Letting go of the arrow, I watched it fly through the air and split Theon's arrow. As I stepped back, I looked at Theon's face smirking in satisfaction as he looked at my arrow in awe. The competition continued to stay like that, Theon shooting first with me doing better than him either splitting the arrow or getting a bull's-eye.
"I guess I was right. I am better at archery than you, Greyjoy."
"You were just lucky."
"Deny it all you want, it won't change the fact that I won and you lost."
Theon stormed off, mad that he got beaten in archery and by a girl none the less. I spent the rest of the day with Robb and Jon, catching up on what has happened over the years and getting to know Sansa, Arya, Rickon and Bran.
