Winterfell
Bella's POV
I loved living in the north. King Robert and Queen Cersei would be arriving soon with their family. My sisters and I were told by our septa to be on our best behavior. But my brother my twin Jon Snow was not standing among us. Thanks to Catelyn Stark. In her eyes me and brother were her husband's basters and always will be.
"Bella stand next to Robb." My father Ned said smiling. When I stood next to Robb the royal family had finally arrived.
The king got off his horse and came towards my father.
"Well you've gotten fat and lazy." Ned said laughing.
"Yes and you're hair is turning white." My father and the king embraced laughing.
"These must be your children." Robert said looking at all of us. He came towards me as if seeing a ghost.
"Lyanna, my darling oh my one true love." King Robert said touching my cheek as if I was a lover.
"You're grace." My father said shocked.
King Roberts hand went away from my face. He then walked away.
"Come Ned I wish to pay my respects."
"Husband it has been a long journey surely the dead can wait." Queen Cersei said looking at her husband.
King Robert left with my father to the graves while the rest of us met the royal family. I felt someone tap my shoulder I turned and saw one of our family servants.
"Milady your step mother wishes to speak to you in private."
I nodded following not wanting to go. For the reason why my step mother hated me and my brother Jon for whatever reason that was I knew not.
Catelyn gestured me to sit across from her.
"Isabella, you had no right to be there today. My husband has his other children to think about so don't you forget it. Oh I almost forgot you'll be leaving us soon. You will leave tonight I've arranged a marriage for you. You will marry Visery Targaryen in Pentos. You will never set foot in Winterfell again."
I ran out of the room crying. When I got outside I saw my father he looked over at me seeing me cry. Both he and Robert came over.
"Bella, my sweet what is a matter?"
"Your wife wants me to leave tonight. She arranged a marriage for me behind your back. I am to wed Visery Targaryen."
"You will not! Bring your wife here now!" King Robert said screaming.
A few minutes later my father came out with my step mother.
"Lady Stark, Ned's daughter will not marry a Targaryen. Not while I'm alive. She is not going anywhere."
"Everything has already been arranged for her to leave. I have the contract here." Catelyn handed Robert the parchment of papers.
King Robert took the papers and tore them up.
"I am your king and I say who she will marry not you."
"You're only saying that because she looks like Lyanna!" Catelyn said screaming at Robert.
My father pulled me aside and took me to the stables.
"Bella, my dear I am taking you beyond the wall to Mance Ryder, he is the king beyond the wall. He is very loyal to the north. We are leaving right now. Don't ask any questions."
We rode out of Winterfell. I took one last look not knowing if I would ever see home again.
