The sun rose shinning off the mountain causing those who looked at it to squint their eyes. Grant watched over his little sister who was rolling down the hill, laughter following her as she tumbled to the bottom.
"Are you going to tell her?" Grant looked up at his father a man he worshipped his entire life. He was leaving everything behind, everything his birth entitled him too and most importantly the one he promised to protect and never leave her side.
Grant squinted up at his father "Am I doing the right thing?" He muttered unsure "I'd be leaving so much behind, you, mum, Twins, Lillian…. our home"
Derik was the Lord of castle Falls. They're the closest to the wall in the north and know what it's like to feel ice tickle their noses and kiss their cheeks "Grant for years you have been climbing that wall, sneaking around castle black" he took a deep breath "you know your mother is no lady, you know of her secret she taught you how to climb that wall"
"I know" grant huffed "just"
"You made the choice son and I will never stand in the way of your heart, we will miss you and count the down the days until we see you again but if she will not come here and is having your child then you must go to her…. be with her and raise that child to climb wall and see its grandparents" Lord Derik bumped shoulders with his son.
"She going to hate me, she won't understand!" Grant Signed "I made my word to her and you know-"
"Grant…If I know your sister, I know she will let you go, She will understand but I think you need to tell her before you leave in the morning she would never forgive you if you left without a goodbye"
"Father…. Grant" Lillian came running up the bottom of her dress dirty and ripped "Come play" she smiled.
"Thought you were playing with Ramsay" Lord Derik smirked
Lillian rolled her bright blue eyes letting our a huff "we need more players…. Come on"
"I should probably check on your mother Lillian"
"Father she is probably sleeping with the twins, they have been making her tired a lot lately plus the Maester with her" Lord Derik stared at his eldest daughter, his second child.
Lillian was a lot like her mother, a free spirit, blue ocean eyes, brown hair and a smile that could make death smile, it was contagious and like the moment he held his daughter he was engrossed in his daughter, wrapped tight around her finger. Very much like her mother Lady Mary.
"What are we playing?" Grant asked a smile upon his cheek
"Tip and you're in" Lillian smiled patting Grant arm as she ran off "Run Ramsay Grant in" the sounds of laughter filled the grounds.
The sun was slowly falling from the sky and the cold night air began to nip at their skins "Okay, Okay" Lord Derik Laughed coming to a halt "Its night time, I am hungry and Ramsay your father was expecting you back ages ago"
"Dad will probably get mad" Ramsay signed looking at his shoes
"No he won't Ramsay" Lord Derik Smiled "Roth…Roth"
"Yes my Lord" Roth came up to the Lord
"Roth take Ramsay home. Tell Lord Bolton I needed Ramsay help and apologies for him being late home. It was nice to see you again" Derik smiled ruffling Ramsay hair up "Thanks for keeping troublemaker busy"
"You're welcome milord, thanks for having me" Ramsay nodded "Bye Lillian"
Lillian hugged her childhood best friend tightly "bye Ramsay, next time I'll come to you" Lillian smiled letting go off Ramsay. They stood at the gates as Ramsay rode off with a falls soldier by his side.
"I'm going inside" lord Derik nodded at his son who nodded back "I NEED FOOD, MY CHILDREN DRAINED ME, SOMEONE FEED ME" Lord Derik Yelled in a joking manner.
"Husband what are you yelling for" Grant and Lillian stared at their mother at the entry holding the twin in her arms. Even after giving birth too two children she was still beautiful.
"Those two made me play and I'm hungry," Lord Derik laughed pointing too the two elder children as he helped by grabbing Brent from Mary arms.
"Than lets get you feed my Lord" Lady Mary smiled.
"Women after my own heart" Lord Derik smiled
Grant looked at his Parents they were so in love, he understood what it meant to love someone, to miss them to ache for them "Come on" Grant picked up his little sister and walked up the tower where no one else was
"Grant put me down!" Lillian laughed as her hands drummed on his back. Grant put her down kneeling to her height "Grant what is it?" Lillian frowned concerned.
"I'm leaving tomorrow"
"Where?" Lillian stared her heart beating as she waited to hear the bad news.
Grant looked at his hand "remember that girl?"
"The one you like on the other-"
"Yes" Grant nodded cutting his little sister off "I love her she means a lot to me and well I spoke to mother and father and told them"
Lillian eyes began to water "you're going to the wall" she whispered "and not coming back this time, you're going north to be with her, to become a wildling"
"Lillian we're-"
Grant huffed wrapping Lillian in a hug. Lillian cried into his chest she knew what this was she knew this was goodbye "lily" Grant whispered.
"Are you sure?" Lillian asked staring at her brother
"More sure than anything" Grant nodded
Lillian sucked up all her sad emotions "than you must be with her?" Lily sniffed her tears
"Lillian leaving you will be one of the most difficult thing I will face. You're my little sister, my best friend and I gave my word I'd always be there and I'd always protect you and-"
"And your word to me is that you'd stay and if I asked you too you would" Grant nodded sadly " then you're to go over that wall and be with her you will always have me, love is once in a lifetime" Grant stared at his baby sister.
"You've grown over night," Grant wiped Lillian tear that fell down her cheek "she's pregnant"
"Then I know for sure you must go now"
Grant and Lillian spent a long time talking and catching up before they knew it Lillian had fallen asleep in her brother arms. Grant lifted his baby sister carrying her to his chest.
Placing Lillian in her bed he left a note kissing her forehead before backing out "love you Lillian" with that Grant said his goodbyes to his parents, siblings he'll never see grow up and headed to the wall to climb.
….
They say the north always remembers. It's a quote known by every Northman and their bloody horses. It speaks truth beyond compare. I sat pulling my arrow back and releasing it into the target.
I smiled as it hit the target the twin clapping from beside me, turning I looked at them "Thank you, Thank you" I chuckled bowing.
"Again, Again" Nadine yelled
Smirking I pulled back another arrow "Steady" My father yelled, turning I looked at him as he walked over a smile on his face. Biting my lip I took a deep breath turning I released the arrow and hit the arrow splitting it in two "Seven hells" Father scoffed.
"Dad" I smiled pointing, "Did you-" The sound of screams buried my happiness; turning arrow flew just missing out feet.
Running over to the twins I picked Nadine up as father grabbed Brent pushing me to run faster "Father what's going on?" I yelled fear striking through me. Before I knew it my father had thrown me on his horse putting Nadine and Brent in my arms wrapping rope around them "Father?"
"Hold onto them Lillian" he begged kissing the twins and than me "Ride to Winterfell you know the way, Tell Lord Stark" he nodded.
"Father"
"Go Lillian please I love you, I love you all" My father eye begged with hope as he tied my bow and arrows to the saddle "RIDE LILLIAN" he yelled as he turned people coming near him his sword drawn.
Kicking my horse I began to move holding onto the twins was hard, they cried as we rode. Not use to riding so fast. I rode past the intruders dodging the bodies. days past and we rode on that horse slowly creeping closer and closer to winterfell. my mouth was dry and stomach growled but no more than my siblings.
I've never felt more tired and warn out when night fell and I had finally reached Winterfell. The gate was down as I reached Lord Stark keep "I need Lord Stark. My name is Lady Lillian Falls please" I begged my throat sore from the cold wind.
"Lady Lillian Falls" the guard repeated shocked "Open the gate, Get lord Stark out of his quarters state the emergency" the soldier yelled as he reached up "Pass me them" he whispered as I passed him a sleeping Nadine and Brent.
Sliding off my father horse I slipped in the mud, taking a deep breath I helped myself up, pain radiating through my legs they were numb from all the riding "LADY FALLS" Lord Stark booming voice hit my ears.
He collapsed catching me before I fell again, my knees were wobbly, I was tired and weak "Tell me Lily what's wrong?"
"Ambush" I whispered painfully "Unknown man have taken the castle"
Lord Stark eyes held worry "ROUND THE SOLDIERS AND READY THE HORSES" he yelled "Jon come here" he whispered to a boy the same age if not maybe just older than me "Take Lillian inside" Jon held my weight and began moving.
"Lord Stark" I called stopping and standing
"I will try" he nodded ""Wife" he turned to lady stark "please care for the children I will return" he nodded jumping up on his horse and riding hard and fast out of the Keep.
