Theon Greyjoy is one of my most favorite characters in the Game of Thrones series. He's sort of misunderstood a little I believe. So I figured I'd give Theon a second chance at life. So this what would have happened if I was in control of their fates. I don't own any character you know. They belong to George R.R Martin and HBO. I do however own the twin sister of Robb Stark, Lyanna Stark. So without further ado What Could Be?.
Theon's POV:
Theon woke from his dark dreams in a cold sweat. The dreams were so vivid. So real like that it was almost scary. Dreams of fire and blades and death. Sometimes he can see a twisted version of himself taking Winterfell.
"What's wrong?" came the voice by his bedroom door.
He looked over fearing he was still in his dream. Fearing that the voice belonged to his torturer. Sighing in relief to see the faces of Robb and Lyanna Stark looking at him in concern.
"Are you alright Theon?" asked Lyanna again. She brushed a strand of her Tully auburn hair behind her ear and came to sit at the foot of his bed. An action most would consider improper of her. An action that Theon had become accustom to since he had first arrived.
"I'm alright Lye," he told her. "You don't have to mother me all the time."
Which was true. Lyanna always had a way of acting like a mother hen when it came to Robb and her siblings. Even towards Theon himself. His father would have said she was spoiling him. No woman should pay that much attention to someone who didn't belong to her family.
"Well," she said sounding a little hurt, "I thought you like the fact that I mother you too much Theon."
"Come on you two," Robb cut in, "Dad says we all have to be ready and outside by the time King Robert and his family get here."
Lyanna rolled her Stark grey eyes at her brother's statement. We all knew that Lord Eddard wouldn't do anything worse than scold us if we were late. But Robb as the oldest of the children would have to be the voice of reason if something happened to Lord Eddard.
"Well then," Theon said, "if the lady Lyanna would but leave I'd willing get dressed."
Again Lyanna rolled her eyes. "Your modesty becomes you Theon Greyjoy," she said sarcastically as she left the room.
Theon climbed from his bed and dressed as impressive as he could. Maybe there would be a fair maiden among the King's people he could tempt.
Lyanna peered in the room. "Are you girls ready yet?" she asked looking between both Theon and Robb.
"Gods Lyanna," said Theon, "let a man get his pants on first."
"Lyanna why don't you go see if mother needs help with Arya, Bran, and Rickon," suggested Robb.
"Fine," she sighed. She looked back at Theon with a smirk on lips. "I'll see you boys outside then." With that she was gone. Her footsteps receding down the hall.
"What's wrong with her?" Theon asked turning to younger boy.
Robb, Theon knew, looked up to him as sort of an older sibling. He looked at the younger boy as sort of a younger brother. Even though at times he could get a little annoying.
Robb looked at Theon. "You know how women can be Theon," he said as though he actually knew what he was talking about.
"You're still but a child Robb," said Theon. "You don't know the way of women yet. And trust me you probably will never figure it out. I still haven't and I'm a bit older than you are."
Theon pulled on the last of his finery turning towards the mirror. He smiled at himself. He'd have to have a little conversation with Lyanna later. He was sure that Lord Eddard would appreciate the gesture.
Robb looked over at Theon.
"Let's get this over with," said Theon. "So we can get to that big feast your lady mother and the cooks have planned for the king."
Theon clapped an arm around the young prince of Winterfell's shoulder and lead the boy down the hall to breakfast.
That is end of chapter one. Please let me know what you think. And chapter two should be up as soon as possible.
