As fun as Sam was having in Winterfell, as time went on the real fear started to set in. She needed to come up with a plan to save the Starks fast. She spent most of her days in the library reading about the history to try and figure some plan out.

"Ugh this is not working!" Sam signed to herself as she shut the book she was reading.

"Maybe some fresh air will help. " Sam thought aloud as she made her way out of the library. She walked around Winterfell trying to find a spot and stumbled upon a tree that was perfect for sitting in. Sam was a pro tree climber. Being the adventurous kid she was, she has perfected her skills after a few setbacks which were a few broken bones.

So Sam had found a new spot to which she spent most of her free time in, trying to figure out a plan of action.

Days later, Sam woke up with a sore throat, headache and feeling very hot. Sam did not pay attention to it because she had a bad night of sleep so she just assumed this was the after affect.

As Mary dressed and did her lady's hair, Sam was in a haze. All she wanted to do was cuddle into her bed and sleep for years.

"You may go to breakfast now, M' lady." Announced the servant

"Huh? Oh thank you…" Sam said as she stood up but fell back down feeling rather light headed.

"M' lady are you alright?" asked Mary in a panicked voice.

Sam stood and took a few steps towards the door "I am fi-"but before Sam could finish her sentence the world went black.

When Sam finally came to, feeling light headed and dehydrated. She turned to the side in search of water but her search was side tracked by the sight of Robb sitting reading a book.

"What are you doing here?" The brunette asked in a croaky strained voice causing the young lord to jump.

"You are awake! That is good! How you feel? You have been in and out of consciousness for the past day. I was very worried."

Sam had many questions but she decided to ask the most important

"May I please have water?"

"Of course!" replied Robb as he poured her a glass, helped her sit and gave her the cup.

Sam gratefully accepted the drink and chugged it down.

"I feel fine and can I help you?" asked Sam as she saw Robb watching her like a hawk "Don't you have some young lord-y things to do." He watching her this intently was making her uncomfortable.

"I am just glad to see you are well. You gave us all a fright." Robb said as he took her hand. "I should go inform mother and father that you have woken."

"Why have you not gone then?" Sam questioned as she turned her head to the side.

"Because I want to cherish this time we have together. I was greatly worried when I was informed that you were unwell. It is why I am not doing 'young lord-y things' and instead sitting by your bed." He said as he took her hand and kissed it.

Oh my god is so sweet. They sure don't make men like this anymore in 2013 Sam thought as she felt her cheeks flush.

"You are too sweet. And now that I am fine, as you see go do something productive."

"If I did not know any better I would think you were trying to get rid of me and we all know that is not true." Teased the oldest Stark

"It is not that I do not want you here, it is rather….I do not think clearly when you are around." As the words left her mouth Sam regretted them right away once she saw the smirk spread across his lips.

Robb could not help but smile at the knowledge that he had as much of an impact on her as she did to him.

Before either of them could say a word the door was slammed open and before Sam could see who is it was she tackled to her bed.

"Sammy! You are ok! I worry!" stated the youngest Stark as he sat on her stomach.

"Hello to you to Rickon." Sam could not stop the smile that went across her lips.

"Rickon, I know you missed Sam but she is not well enough for you to do such things! Remove yourself from her." Scolded Robb as he worried about Sam's health.

"But Robb, I-"

"Rickon your brother is correct; Sam's health is not yet up to what it was before." Stated Lady Cat Stark as she walked into the room.

"But mummy-!"

"No Rickon."

"Ok…." Rickon said in a sad voice as he reluctantly got off.

"Robb would you mind putting Rickon to bed and Sam please do get more sleep." Instructed Cat as she gave the children a 'do not fight me on this'.

Sam could easily sleep for another few hours was ok with going to bed unlike Rickon who was pouting in Robb's arms.

"I want to give Sammy a kiss goodnight!" Rickon screamed as he looked up at his big brother.

Robb could not deny his little brother his request since he had a similar desire.

After Rickon gave Sam a kiss on the forehead and Cat kissed both her son's and Sam and everyone left her room. Sam nodded off to sleep.

The next time Sam came to, she found Mary sitting by her bed sewing.

"M' lady how do you feel?"

"Very good, you can choose what I shall wear."

"But M' lady I have been instructed by Lady Stark not to let you out of your bed. I am sorry."

"WHAT?! But Mary I feel fine! I feel great! I need some fresh air and a place to run around!" Sam was suffering from some serious ADHD.

"I am sorry M' lady. Job Snow has brought you some books to keep you busy."

"This is stupid…" Sam said as she crossed her arms and then smiled.

"Mary, may I please have some….breakfast or is it lunch time? Either one may I have something to eat?" Sam thought as she came up with a plan sneak out.

As soon as Mary shut the door Sam jumped out of her bed and put on a dress with a built in corset because there was no way she could put one on herself.

Within 5 minutes she was up, dressed and ran out the door. Sam snuck down the corridor trying to avoid everyone who was passing by. She knew within a few minutes Mary would be back and inform Lady Stark that she was gone but Sam enjoyed a good chase.

I need a place nobody will think to find me….hmmm where to go Sam thought as she went through all possible hiding spots. Maybe the hay loft in the barn could work Sam decided to place her bets there.

But as Sam made a mad dash to the barn and safely made it there she was greeted by the sight of Lord Ned Stark himself.

"Are you not supposed to be in bed?"

"Today is not my day" Sam sighed as she was escorted back to her room and forced to stay in bed all day.
