(Alright so I am slightly new to the GOT fandom and this is my first fic so sorry if it's terrible but I'm just writing this for fun but enjoy :D)
"Go on the historical find trip" they said. "It'll be fun" they said. You know what they didn't tell me? They forgot to tell me that going on this trip would change my life forever. My name is Harry Smith (or Harriet if we're being formal here) and this is my story.
"1…2…3" my friend Zita chanted. Me, her, and this other girl Katie slammed our shoulders against a door and it didn't budge.
"Are you boys going to help us?" I asked leaning against the door as the 3 other guys in our group, James, Aric and Brian, just watched us attempt to open a door while they ate their lunches.
"Um sorry it's burrito time" Aric said. Zita let out a huff as she quickly snatched all of the guy's burritos and tossed them out the window.
"I wasn't finished with that" Aric snapped at her.
"Help us open the door" she told him. He was about to refuse till she gave him one of her puppy dog pouts.
"Alright boys let's show these ladies what real upper body strength is" James joked.
"Oh please yesterday you asked me to open a beer bottle for you" Katie smirked at him.
"mamehand" he just said to her in a mocking voice.
"Excuse me I thought we were all adults" our Professor interrupted us. We all rolled our eyes at him. Out of all of us he was the one who seemed to be taking this trip seriously. As a good idea for the last adventure of summer before my second year at college I had decided to sign up for this sort of archaeological tour of Europe. Right now we were in some place called Winterfell. So far all we had found was a whole lot of nothing.
"By the way had any of you thought of just opening the door instead of trying to break it off it's hinges" our Professor suggested as he easily opened the door with the twist of a door knob. We all just looked at him astonished.
"Now then let's take a look shall we" he said. I let out a huge cough as I was attacked by the large amount of dust that went into my lungs. The room looked empty.
"Be careful the floorboards are a bit creeky and broken" he warned us as we walked into the room and started dusting things off.
"You know they were really good at making sure people like us didn't find anything after they all died" Brian commented as he looked under what was probably a bed.
"Didn't they just bury all their crap with them?" I asked while looking in this wardrobe that was filled with bugs.
"Hoarders" he joked and I laughed at that. I was about to move to a different side of the room until I heard one of the floorboards creek under my feet. I quickly stepped off of it and saw that part of it was propped up. I got down on my stomach and lifted the board up a bit and I saw something that looked like it was made out of ivory. I used all of my strength and pulled up the floorboard.
"Can I have some gloves over here?" I asked. Someone gladly gave me gloves and I reached into the huge hole I just made and grabbed onto the hilt of a sword. The ivory part I had seen was a wolfs head that was attached to the end of the sword.
"Does this look like anything important?" I asked with a smile on my face as I showed the sword off to my professor. My professor looked at me and had this amazed look on his face.
"Do you know what that is?"
"A very old and rusty sword that could give me tetanus?" He took the sword from me. The others and I all watched him examine it.
"This is the sword of Robb Stark"
"One of the dead guys that used to live here I take it?"
"No someone just decided to leave a rusty sword for us to find 2 days before we came here" Zita joked.
"This is amazing, excellent work Harry, Excellent!" he smiled. Zita nudged me on the shoulder proudly. The rest of the day went pretty uneventfully the sword was the only thing we found which made me feel awesome.
"God Harry why do you have to be such a show off and make us feel useless" Aric joked as we ate dinner out in the courtyard in our little camping chairs around a big fire.
"Oh you know I'm just amazing like that" I flipped my hair jokingly. They all laughed and then went silent as we took in our surroundings. It was really pretty here actually. The woods were vast and the sort of castle we were at held it's age well. It made me feel like we were still in the dark ages. And the weather was perfect for me it was all misty and foggy and a bit chilly but I could live with that, that's the perfect weather for me.
"So why is this place so important?" I asked randomly trying to start a conversation again.
"Oh this place used to be magical. Winters used to last for years around here and there used to be many creatures that walked these woods" the rest of the students and I chuckled at that.
"You laugh but imagine having to live in that time"
"What exactly was out there that was so scary" Katie challenged him.
"Wolves the size of men that could rip your throat open in a second, pale creatures that could kill you faster than you could even think of, and even the walking dead" he said in a spooky voice and just then Brian grabbed onto my shoulders and shook me and screamed in my ear to scare me which he did successfully as I let out a very girlish scream and fell out of my camping chair.
"Brian you jerk" I snapped at him. Everyone laughed at me and I blushed and looked down into my lap to wait for the laughing to stop
"Awww guys don't laugh at me scaring Harry" he joked as he hugged me.
"Don't hug me" I laughed. We heard a wolf howl in the distance and we all went quiet.
"Well time for bed" our professor smiled at us as he got up. We all looked at him as he walked to one of the tents we set up in the courtyard. Nearly everyone left after that except for Brian and I.
"Chickens" I whispered after them as I pulled my legs up to my chest for warmth.
"I know right you'd think they actually believed his ghost story" Brian smiled. We sat in front of the fire for a moment just watching the flames was hypnotizing. I let out a yawn and got up to stretch my back.
"Oh don't tell me your going down now too?" he asked.
"I think I am" I said through my yawn. I reached down to get my backpack by my chair but it wasn't there.
"Damn, you've got to be kidding me" I complained.
"What?"
"I left my backpack in good old Robbie's room I think" I explained as I scratched my head.
"Can't you just say Accio backpack?" I stayed silent.
"Get it cause your names Harry"
"I got it I just don't want to laugh at it"
"A chuckle would make me feel good at least"
"Haha very funny"
"Want me to come along?" he asked.
"Yes please I'm terrified of the dark" I laughed. We both picked up flashlights as we backed to the room. The door had been left open and I could see my backpack laying on the other side of the room.
"Be back in a moment" I smiled at him. I started to walk across the room until I felt my foot fall through something and suddenly my whole body was falling. Probably should've remembered that big hole you made in the ground you idiot I insulted myself. I saw Brian slide to me as he grabbed my hand.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
"I'm fine, I'm fine" I tried to keep my voice calm.
"Listen don't look down I've got you" he comforted me. I nodded. I felt my hand start to slip in his grip.
"Come on try and pull yourself up" he said. I tried to swing myself up but I for some reason couldn't. The next thing I knew my hand slipped all the way out of Brian's and I felt myself falling through darkness. I hit the floor with a big thud and covered myself before any debris from the ceiling could hit me except there wasn't any debris. I opened my eyes and saw there was no hole in the ceiling either.
"What?" I asked myself as I sat up.
"Brian?" I tried to shout up at the ceiling. I looked around the room I had fallen into and noticed it was nicely furnished. I got up and went to the door where I saw there were actually people outside in the courtyard and no I didn't mean my group. These people where actually dressed outfits from the dark ages.
"What the hell?" I asked.
So that's the prologue I hope you liked it. If you hated it sorry. Also I'm looking for a beta for this so if you would like to be my beta just message me and that's it for now :D
