Hey! Gonna keep this short but I wanted to thank everyone who commented or followed my story! It really means a lot to me!

The weeks after passed by quickly as lady Catelynn told us of the letter she had received from Kings Landing. The King and Queen where to arrive in Winterfell with their entire court, much to the delight of Sansa who had started working on a new dress as soon as the news reached her ears. The letter also stated that John Arynn, hand of the King, had caught a fever and died. Though none of the Starks truly voiced it was almost certain that was the reason for the King coming here. If Lord Stark agreed to the terms he would be taken from Winterfell, Robb would become Lord and the family would likely be split up.

All these thoughts passed through my head as I sat in the library, trying my best to escape Lady Catelynn and being forced to do more chores, with a large copy of Fairytales from the Seven Kingdoms placed in my hands. I often came to the library to get away. The roaring fire, large leather books and comfortable chairs made me forget about the world around me and reflect.

It was than that I heard feet hitting the ground. Pulling the leather bonded book away from my face I peered down the hall way that was lined with books. A shadowed figure made its way closer and closer to where I was perched on a brown leather chair. As the figure came closer I could begin to make out certain details such as curly hair, tall, thin, pale… Robb.

"What are you doing in here?! I thought you where Lady Stark coming to kill me." I spoke in a hushed voice. Robb took a seat next to me and draped his arm around the back of the chair. It was a snug fit but Robb and I had never been apposed to being close to each other.

"What are you reading?" He said leaning over to look at the book. As he leaned over I could feel his breath hitting my face. Robb and I had always been close but if I was being truly honest around the age of twelve I had began to develop feelings that were more than friendly towards the heir to Winterfell.

"Fairytales?" He said in an unrecognizable tone, it was somewhere between being bored and saying that I was truly the most predictable creature on the face of the planet. Robb reached for the book but I smacked his hand away stating "I happen to like fairytales. They are a lesson within a story."

Robb snorted and leaned back into the chair. As I started reading again I noticed that he was trying to read over my shoulder so I leaned my body towards him so that he could see better. After a few minutes of trying to get comfortable I ended up leaning against his chest with his hand draped around my shoulder and his chin resting on my forehead.

We stayed like this for around an hour before we heard the booming voice of Lord Stark calling out for Robb. Robb and I quickly jumped apart from each other putting as much distance between us as we possibly could. Robb cleared his throat and lifted himself from the couch, giving me one last glance before he walked towards were his father voice was coming from.

WE WILL GO HOME

When I walked into the castle I could see many last minute details being added to the castle. The tapestry's were being hung accordingly, tables were added to be able to fit the Kings entire court into the great hall and women where putting flowers and new linen into each of the bed chambers.

"Lady Stark? Is there anything I can do?" I said graciously, not because I wanted to but I felt I owed it to the woman for raising me.

"If you can make sure Robb, Theon and Jon are clean shaven and than make sure Rickon is dressed." Lady Catelynn said while fiddling with two different table runners for the head table.

"Of course."

"Thank you Katrina." Lady Catelynn acknowledged as she finally looked up, giving a terse smile.

Walking through the halls towards the training pitch I could already tell that they boys were not doing as they were told. I could hear the familiar sound of arrows hitting the hay targets.

"Boys," I spoke loudly to get their attention as I walked with intent into the training grounds. "Lady Stark has given me the job of making sure you all look splendid for when the king arrives. In other words, Ducin is waiting for you in the barn where you will all be given hair cuts."

"What." The boys all mumbled from behind me, Theon letting a few curses pass through his thin lips. "Its not my doing boys!" I said as I quickly turned and walked away to find Rickon. As I made my way through they barn I heard someone yell after me.

"Katrina wait." Turning to see Robb I easily let a smile grace my lips.

"Robb."

"I was wondering, if you have no other arrangements, if you would allow me the honor of escorting you to the feast tonight?" Robb said blushing, but still looking me dead in the eye.

A smile slowly crept upon my face as he said this. And the only response I could give to him was "Yes".

Robb smiled his blush deepening and slowly leaned in giving me a light chaste kiss on the cheek. As he pulled away he uttered "I'll come to you chamber and pick you up tonight than." He quickly turned and left, leaving me on a high as I slowly walked from the stable to Rickon's chambers.

Rickon was sitting on his bed when I walked in. He had his direwolf sitting next to him and the small boy was talking aimlessly to the animal. To my inconvenience Rickon was still in his nightclothes.

"Hello little lord." I said sweetly as I went to sit on the bed.

"Good morning." He said looking up at me with a toothy grin.

"Well child, I hate to tell you but it's past lunch. The king will be here soon so we have to get you dressed." I spoke while stroking the direwolves head.

"I don't want to meet the king."

"Rickon. It will be fun I'm sure and I heard he has a son your age. Please lets just get dressed." I pleaded with the boy who had a sour look etched on his face.

"Fine." The boy finally gave in and was dressed in brown pants, a white undershirt, the stark jerkin and a small cape. I sat him down on a chair and began to comb out his curly blonde hair.

"Katrina?" Rickon asked while playing with the string on his Jerkin.

"Yes, little lordling?"

"Who are you going to the feast with?" Rickon muttered.

"Well, I'm going to the feast with Robb." I said blushing slightly.

"Oh." Rickon muttered while looking down.

"Why do you ask?" I said putting the comb down and smoothing back the child's hair.

"Well if you didn't have someone to take you, than I would." He said giving me a hopeful glance. I lent down and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Come, the king should be here soon." I said lifting the boy into my arms and carrying him out the door. When we got outside the stark family was already lined up in a row, ready to meet the King. I let Rickon out of my arms and he ran to Catelynn's side. Lady Stark gave me a thankful smile and I walked behind the group to stand in between Jon and Theon.

When the king arrived he hobbled off his horse and walked straight up to Lord Stark giving him a look up and down.

"You've gotten fat." He said in his rough voice. Every one of the Stark family members turned to look at how Lord Stark would react. Lord Stark raised one eyebrow at the King, and both men began to laugh and embraced each other. The King gave a hug to Lady Catelynn and slowly went down the line of children, paying no attention to Jon, Theon and I in the back. Than the queen stepped out of her carriage with her two youngest children. The Queen was a mean looking woman with long wavy blonde hair and a slim pale face. Her eyes held mirth and disgust at the cold here in Winterfell and she look as if she was judging everything.

Off a horse came to men, well a man and a boy, who looked oddly similar to each other. One as I soon came to realize was the crown Prince Joffery. He was pale like his mother, golden in hair with a round face and blue eyes. The man next to him was wearing armor in silver and gold; he had long flower hair of gold and was tall and well built. Thanks to Arya I soon heard that this was Jamie Lannister the queens twin brother.

"Take me to your crypts, I want to pay my respect." The King called to Eddard who was standing next to the Queen. As Lord Stark started to move towards King Robert the queen called out "My love, we've been riding for a month. Surely the dead can wait?"

"Ned." The king said ignoring her. Lord Stark pushed his way passed the Queen keeping his eyes locked on the ground as he went.

"Well I will have someone show you to your room." Lady Stark said giving the queen a grand smile.

"Splendid." Queen Cersei Lannister uttered back.

So this is shorter than the others but Im trying to work out how to split up each episode and what to put in and not put in.
