Chapter 1: A Hidden Targaryen

Alysanne Frey spent her entire life locked away in a small room in the tallest tower of the Twins. It wasn't until she turned ten and two that she found out why. Why her father ignored her? Why she was locked in a tower? It was her eyes. Her eyes that were the same shade as the beautiful lavender flowers her handmaid Anaya would bring her.

At ten and two Alysanne had snuck out of her room to go join the feast her father was holding for his newest marriage. She thought that because there were going to be so many people her father wouldn't notice her presence. But she soon realized that it was a mistake to believe so. Her father had caught her and dragged her by her long curly dark hair back to her room. Once he threw her into her room he called one of his guards to keep watch on her twenty four hours a day.

When her handmaid came after her father stormed away Anaya explained why her eyes were the reason she was locked away. Alysanne Frey had Targaryen purple eyes. She had inherited those eyes from her mother Visenya Waters who was the bastard daughter of King Aerys Targaryen and a Dornish maid from the Red Keep. Visenya Waters was later married to Lord Walder Frey at the behest of the King. Visenya died two days after the birth of her daughter.

When news reached Lord Walder of the fall of the Targaryen Empire he knew that if anyone found out that he had a daughter who's veins held Tagaryen blood he would be killed. No matter how Lord Walder tried he couldn't bring himself to kill the purple eyed babe who was only a few months old. Every time he looked upon the babe he thought of her mother and Visenya was the only woman Lord Walder ever loved. So he hid Alysanne away. He also distanced himself so that people would not question him about the girl locked away in a tower.

Now Alysanne Frey was ten and seven and was still locked away in a tower. The only people she saw were her handmaid Anaya and her guard Darren Rivers one of Lord Walder many bastards. She never got any visitors and kept herself entertained by reading and learn to use a sword. But no one but Darren knew that. He was the one teaching her. Her older brother not only taught her to use a sword but he also taught her to read and write. For that she would be eternally grateful. For reading is what kept her from boredom. She swears she has ready everything that the Frey library had to offer more than once. She could recite every word of every book.

So it was no surprise when Lord Walder Frey found Alysanne reading when he rushed into her room. " Get up girl. You need to put on your best dress and do something with your hair. Hurry up girl."

Alysanne watched as her father walked back out in the same rush he appeared in. She was very confused. Looking towards the entrance of the room she saw Darren standing there. " What's going on brother?"

" It seems as Lady Catelyn Stark has come to broker a deal with our Lord Father. Lord Robb Stark and his army can peacefully pass through the Twins if he agrees to marry one of Fathers daughters." Darren looked worried and Alysanne felt a shiver of fear run through her body.

" Why I am being presented though? My grandfather was the King that burned Lord Straks own grandfather and uncle." Alysanne was so confused. Her entire life she was told that of anyone found out about her Targaryen heritage that she would be killed.

" Because little sister. Robert Baratheon hates the Targaryens because Rhaegar Targaryen stole Lady Lyanna Stark. What better way then to unnerve his own son with the knowledge that there has been a Targaryen alivesince the rebellion. It would cause many problems for him. There are still those out there who are loyal to the Targaryens. Lord Stark would gain many allies if he was to wed the last living Targaryen in Westros." Darren explained to her. She did not want to be used as a pawn in the war.

" I do not wish to be wed. I do not know this Lord Stark." Alysanne's voice quivered. She had never in her entire life felt as scared as she did in that moment.
