AN- Read and Review, I hope you enjoy. So here is the second chapter in one day because of my blonde move and forgetting to uplode chapter 20 earlier. I'm just happy I caught my mistake before I put this one up, it would have confused you guys a bit I think.


"What was that?" Arianna asked breathlessly.

"I used some magic." He panted back. Arianna rolled over on top of him and smiled,

"Where did you learn how to do that?"

"Umm." He glanced away not wanting to bring up the witches name. Arianna taking a deep breathe and rolled off of him,

"Never mind I don't want to know." She stood up and pulled her dress on brushing some hay out of her hair."

"Ari-" Jon was about to get up when Snow's voice cut him off.

"There you are." Snow walked in to the barn, "I've been looking for you everywhere."

"You have?" She asked glancing down at Jon who stayed on the ground hoping Snow didn't come any closer.

"Yes I was going to see if you wanted to join me in the village." She asked, "I need to find Jon as well I actually came here to find him he's always in the stable."

"I haven't seen him." Arianna replied quickly, "How about I join you in your search for him else where?"

Snow nodded her head, something didn't feel right but she didn't know why. Arianna hurried out of the stall she was in and grabbed Snow's hand, "Lets go." she said quickly as she pulled her from the barn. As they got farther from the stable and closer to the palace stars Snow took a glances back at the stable she saw Jon walking out of it. She was about to stop Arianna when she realized he was tying up his pants she glanced over at Arianna as a sinking feeling hit her stomach. Were they sleeping with each other? She looked away quickly and following Arianna trying to figure out something to say.

"Ari" Robb called out, "There you are."

"Robb." She let go of Snow's hand and smiled.

"I've been looking all over for you." Snow noticed his smile when he looked at the girl; he loved her that much she could tell. From the way Arianna looked at him she could tell the woman cared for him, but noticed she didn't watch him the way he watched her. "I was just wondering what you were up to I'm happy to see you with Snow, it's good to see you happy again."

"And that I am." Arianna kissed him on the cheek. Snow frowned, was she happy that she was here or was she happy that she was sleeping with Jon? Arianna turned around and her eyes fell on Jon, "There he is Snow, let's get tell him we would like to go to the village."

"Aright." Snow agreed still studying the way the woman acted. "I'll see you later Lord Stark." She smiled as they left him.

"Jon!" Snow called as they approached the knight, "Join us."

"As you wish." He nodded his head and fell in behind the women without making eye contact. Snow took notice at how close he walked to Arianna, but she wondered if she was imagining it.

"This is beautiful." Arianna said stopping at one of the venders at the market. She held up a bracelet. Snow walked up next to her to look at some of the other jewels, but stopped when she noticed Jon look over as well, but he came up behind her. If she didn't know any better she would think she leaned back into him.

"It is beautiful." He said to her, "But it isn't your type." His voice was low almost a whisper into her ear.

Snow frowned how would he know what was the woman's type.

"You're right." Arianna said placing it back down. "I'm never very good and picking out things that would fit me well."

Jon smiled and picked up another bracelet, "How about this one?"

Arianna felt her heart flutter in all the time they had been apart he still knew her better then herself. "I love it."

Snow took a few steps back they had forgotten she was there right? She was beginning to realize that perhaps she was right there was something going on between the two. She watched Arianna laugh and she watched Jon smiled. What was it between them? Jon had been there with two years and she had never seen him look that way. When Arianna looked at him she could see the look in her eyes that meant love. Arianna gave Jon the look that Robb gave her she sighed she hoped this wasn't going to turn out messy. Snow moved to the next booth looking at some of the blankets that were for sale, she jumped when Jon walked up behind her.

"You had me worried I looked up and you were gone." He shook his head; "You husband is going to fire me if I keep losing you." Snow smiled she did like the new Jon he joked now he smiled now. She only didn't like the fact he was sleeping with Lady Stark.

"No he won't" Snow told him, "You keep me safe you've already kept me from danger many times."

Jon was about to say something when screams drew his attention both he and Snow looked up to see people running, bother looked up and saw Arianna standing without anyone around her holding her side. Jon saw it first red falling from her fingers. "No!" he yelled as he ran to her side, he reached her and took her in his arms right before she began to fall. He shook his head as he sank to the ground with her this couldn't be happening, why was this happening? "Ari, please Ari stay with me." By now Snow had rushed to them.

"What happened?" Snow cried.

"I don't know!" Jon looked into her eyes.

"He wanted my necklace." She whispered. She opened her hand that wasn't holding her side to show her necklace with a ring on it, the ring he had put on her finger the day they married.

"It's just a ring." Snow said, "Why didn't you give it to him?"

"It's his ring." A tear fell down her face, "My husbands I wasn't going to give it up."

"Snow's right it's just a ring." Jon shook his head.

"It was her husband's ring." Snow told him, "It's important to women when they have only one small thing left of the one they love."

"It's just a ring." Jon couldn't understand why Ari would risk herself just to keep his ring.

"It belonged to his mother." She whispered.

"I'm sure none of them would have cared if you lost the ring but kept your life without getting hurt." Jon scolded.

"I wouldn't give up Charming's ring for anything." Snow whispered, "Jon don't get upset with her."

"If I lost the ring he would never come back." Ari whispered.

"Ari the ring won't bring me home." Jon whispered forgetting Snow was there. "I can never go home you know that."

Snow said nothing just looked at the two, why was he saying he would go home with her?

"I just wanted you safe that's why I left." Pausing he spoke again, "You will be safe." Placing his hand over her wound, than glanced up at Snow, "I'm sorry." He whispered before he looked back down. He mumbled something his eyes glowed yellow and so did his hand, but nothing changed.

"You have magic?" Snow asked.

"I don't know how to do this, I don't know how to heal." He muttered he tried again and mumbled words Snow did not know. Once again his eyes and hand glowed, but nothing. "I'm not going to lose you." Snow felt her heart braking as she watched the tears fall down his face.

"I love you." She whispered, "You are my husband and I will always love you." She took a deep breath, "Go home with your brother take care of our daughter you are being foolish here you can protect her better if you are in Winterfell."

"I failed to protect you." He whispered, "I'm not going to curse her the way I did you I should have stayed away I should have stayed away." He shook his head.

"I love you Jon." She whispered as her eyes began to close.

"No." he said, "Don't you leave." One of his tears fell onto his hand this time his hand began to glow this time before his eyes did. He felt something wash over him a feeling he had never felt before. In the past every time he used his magic he felt an icy cold wash over him he could feel the darkness itching to do more, to do worse. Not this time this time he felt warm. What ever was making his hand glow made him want to smile. Arianna's eyes opened as Jon took his hand away from her side. No longer was she bleeding, no longer was she dying.

"You healed her." Snow whispered.

"Ari." He whispered.

"Jon." She smiled up at him; he leaned down and kissed her.

"Ari don't scare me like that again, don't ever!" he said as they broke away.

"It's about time it was my turn." She whispered.

"Don't joke either." He shook his head.

"I've thought you dead so many times, now you know how I feel." She sat up slowly.

"Snow can you take her." He paused as he winced as he tried to move feeling a sharp pain in his side he looked down and saw blood beginning to stain his shirt. "What?" he grew confused.

"All magic comes with a price." Snow whispered as she quickly grabbed the blanket she had left with she made a quick mental note to pay for it later. "Jon he took her injury."

"No!" Ari cried out, "Why would you do that?"

Jon winced, "I didn't know it would happen."

"It doesn't look as bad." Snow told him getting closer; Arianna sat up and took a closer look.

"We have to get him back to the castle." She looked at Snow as the two women both took one of his arms over their shoulders. "Just don't tell Robb or your husband who this is please."

Snow didn't like the idea of hiding something from Charming but she nodded her head in agreement.

They struggled to the castle she saw Robb and Charming sparing, but as soon as they looked up they hurried to help.

"What happened?" Robb asked as he and Charming took Jon from the girls.

"Someone tried to take my necklace." Arianna told him, "He got in between me and the knife."

"Lets get him to the infirmary." Charming told Robb as the two helped him up the stairs.

"It isn't as bad as it looks." Jon winced.

"You sound like my brother always arguing." Robb said as they walked.

"I'll be fine I don't need a doctor."

"Yes you do." Charming said.

"You don't even like me." Jon mumbled.

"Just because I don't trust you doesn't mean I'm going to let you die." He replied.

"I'm Fine." He mumbled again.

They laid him down on a bed as a physician hurried to his side. "What happened?" The man asked.

"Just a little scratch." Jon muttered.

"It's much more then a scratch." Robb argued he felt responsible for this man's injury. He should have been there to look after Arianna and not left it to this knight. He had promised made a promise that if Jon couldn't be there to protect Arianna that he would. He felt like he failed his brother, failed Arianna, and this man was paying the price.

"I've had worse." Jon tried to pull away, but the physician cut his shirt. He sighed he hated when doctors did that, why couldn't he just ask him to take it off?

Robb held the knight down so the physician could examine him this man reminded him so much of Jon. He was just like his brother in the fact he always down playing injuries. Then something caught his eye that caused him to let go of the man. "Jon?" he whispered his eyes were fixed on a scar. A scar he had seen before. Robb's eyes went back to the man's face he looked different, it couldn't be. Was it possible two people could have a scar that were exactly the same?

Jon looked up at his brother he followed his gaze and noticed the scar from Thomas's sword showed right next to the dagger wound. He ignored Robb's words pretending that he took no mind to him. He couldn't let Robb know who he was, he had already made a mistake to let Arianna know and now Snow. It would only be a matter of time before Regina noticed, before she knew. It didn't take the physician to stitch his wound agreeing that it wasn't as bad as it looked. Jon only assumed the magic had placed his wound in a less vital spot then it had been on Arianna.

"He should rest." The man told Charming, "Until he can move without ripping."

"I'll be fine." Jon said sitting up, "Like I've said I have had worse. Where are the ladies?" he asked, "I want to let them know not to worry."

"Don't worry about them." Charming said, "You've proven to be a good knight, you heal and know you will always have a job protecting my wife."

Jon felt guilt wash over him; little did Charming know he was a spy. "Is it alright if I return to my home."

"Yes, your mother must be worried it's been a while before you've gone to check on her." Charming nodded his head, "Take ease on your ride back there, then take a week with her."

Jon nodded his head, "Tell the ladies I'm alright." He stood up and winced slightly as he walked from the room. He made sure to avoid Snow and Arianna on his way out. He carefully tacked up Sapphire and took to the woods. While Charming and Snow would think he was with his mother he would be with Regina. As he rode he felt sick something within him made him wince and this time it wasn't his wound. It felt like there was something battling in him. Was he getting sick? As he reached Regina's castle he glanced next to him and saw Ghost trotting next to him and Sapphire he hadn't even noticed the wolf join him. Stepping off his horse he turned to see the Huntsman, but it seemed there were two. Frowning Jon tried to speak, but no words came out instead he felt himself falling. The huntsman yelled something and seemed to catch him, but Jon couldn't be sure. All he was sure about was the darkness that took him and the pain within his body.


"Mommy." Lyanna said crawling into Elizabeth's bed, "I can't sleep."

Elizabeth placed the book she was reading down and opened her arm to the little girl who cuddled up next to her. "It's usually Nate you go to when you can't sleep."

"He was sleeping when I went in there." The little girl told her. "So I came in here."

Elizabeth chuckled knowing she was the little girl's second choice, but she didn't mind. She thought it was wonderful how much the little girl loved her father. "Well would you like me to tell you a story to help you sleep?"

"What are you reading?" she asked her mother.

Elizabeth looked at her book and then back at the girl, "It's a book about love."

"Really?" the little girl asked, "Like true love?"

"I think so, it's about a human girl and a vampire." Elizabeth continued.

"That's stupid I don't want to hear that story." She muttered.

"Well what story do you want to hear?" Elizabeth asked looking down to her.

"I want to hear a story about a lady." She smiled, "And a lord and how they fell in love."

"I don't think I know any of those stories." She frowned it perhaps Nate that told her the stories about medieval times and fairy tales it seemed Eli was obsessed with them.

"Then I will tell you one." Eli said excitedly, "It all starts with a girl she was supposed to be a lady, but she rather be a strong willed wolf."

"Shape shifters?" Elizabeth asked with a smile.

"No." Eli frowned, "Her family were called the wolves of the north, but they weren't really wolves."

"Oh." Elizabeth wasn't sure if this was a story Nate had told her or not, perhaps the little girl thought of it herself.

"Anyways her father couldn't train her so he sent her south to learn from true ladies and while she was there she fell in love with the prince, but he was married." She frowned, "But they loved each other and over came it until she had to go home."

"Well that's a sad story." Elizabeth thought for a moment, why did this sound familiar?

"Her father agreed for her to marry her brother's best friend Robert even though she didn't love him. She agreed only because it was the right thing to do." Eli sat up, "But when the prince came for her she ran away with him so they could live happily ever after."

"That's a good ending." Elizabeth smiled.

"That's not the ending, it's not a good ending." Eli frowned, "Please stop interrupting me."

Elizabeth laughed, "Sorry."

"Anyways Robert and her family thought she was kidnapped and started a war to bring her back, In the end Robert killed the prince and thought he would rule the kingdom with her by his side. But she died anyways." Eli sighed.

"That's horribly sad." Elizabeth said softly, "This doesn't sound like a good bed time story."

"I'm not done." The little girl continued. "She died when she had her baby, she named him Jon and made her brother promise on her death bed he would take care of him. So he agreed."

"Is that the ending?" Elizabeth asked, but when the little girl gave her a stern look she knew it wasn't.

"He grew up with Lord Stark's children under the name of bastard son."

"That is not language a little girl should use." Elizabeth scolded.

"Sorry." Eli muttered, "He ended up falling in love with his best friend." The little girl paused, "Can you guess what her name was?"

Elizabeth thought for a moment, had she heard Nate telling her this story before? Everything the little girl spoke seemed so familiar to her she just couldn't remember why. Her hand went to the necklace that she always wore as she played with the ring around her neck as she tried to think of the girl's name. Finally she looked back at Eli, "Nope, what was it?"

Eli sighed, "It doesn't matter. I'm tired." She rolled over and held tight to her teddy bear and closed her eyes. Elizabeth frowned, had she upset the girl? She sighed and turned off the light as she pulled the covers over the both of them,

"Good night." She said softly as she kissed her on the top of the head. As she lay her head down on her own pillow her mind thought over the story trying to make sense of it, a child's story shouldn't have gotten stuck in her head, but she couldn't shake it.

"It's because you do know it." A voice said causing Elizabeth to sit up she glanced around the room, but instead of her bed she was laying in a bed of leaves and instead of her room she was in a forest.

"What's going on?" she asked as her heart rate increased. "Who are you?"

"Are you going to ask that every time I come see you?" the voice asked thought the darkness a woman that seemed to glow white stepped forward. The very same woman she had been seeing, the one that wore a white dress and long brown hair, a woman who resembled Nate. "Try and remember my name."

"I'm sorry I don't-" she stopped herself as she her mind seemed to push words to her mouth, or rather just one word. "Lyanna."

"Yes." She smiled

"I saw you the day I had the accident?" she questioned.

"Yes but it seems it didn't do you any good." The woman frowned, "I worded through so much to get they're to help you and in the end it did nothing."

"What are you even talking about?" she questioned.

"Everything I do is to protect him." Lyanna whispered, "I don't know how much more his heart can take."

"What are you talking about?" Elizabeth asked.

"Arianna." The woman said, "Does that mean anything to you?"

"No." she paused as Nate's voice echoed in her mind, 'Ari don't leave me please don't leave, I've found you again just like I promised I always would.' She frowned, "But Nate has called me Ari before, I don't know why."

"I don't have much time." Lyanna whispered, "Just remember your daughter's story, you must remember."

"Remember what?"

"I don't know why it is this hard." Lyanna mumbled, "Look with your heart not your mind."

"That makes no sense." Elizabeth shook her head as Lyanna sighed.

"It does." Lyanna spoke, "it means stop over thinking and just go along with what you feel, it will help you find your way back."

"Back where? Back to my house since I'm in the middle of the woods?" she asked.

"You never left your bed." Lyanna whispered as she faded away.

Elizabeth opened her eyes to see sun peering in the window, was it morning already? She glanced next to her to see Eli gone, pushing the blankets away from herself she wrapped her robe around her and followed the smell of bacon down stairs.

"I told her the story about grandma and grandpa." She heard Eli speak,

"You didn't" Nate's voice answered, "Eli she won't know what you are talking about."

"I told her it was a bed time story I even told her about you two."

"Lyanna." He sighed, "I know you want her to know, but she will never understand if you hint at it to much she will fight it."

Elizabeth frowned, why did Nate call Eli Lyanna like the woman in her dreams?

"You said she remembered when she got hit by that car, you said she remembered you and me and everything." The little girl argued.

"Little Wolf stop." He sighed,

"And I hate the name Eli why can't she call me my real name?"

"Because her memories are of you as Eli and me as Nate. You think I like being called Nate and not Jon? You think your Uncle Robb likes to be called Mark?" he placed a place of food in front of her, "It's the cards we have been dealt with and we must find a way to play our hand."

The little girl took a bite of her food, "Mommy needs to wake up soon. When she does she won't be sad anymore about Uncle Robb leaving she will know he only did it because he knows that you two are in love and belong together."

Elizabeth was confused now, it seemed they spoke in riddles, why did the little girl think she loved Nate? Why did Nate say they all had different names? Her head began to pound, what was it she needed to remember? Her mind raced trying to figure out what they meant, the woman's voice echoed through her mind. 'Look with your heart not your mind.' She didn't know how she could, how do you look with your heart? Then almost as if someone had whispered the words in her mind everything became clear, 'You don't listen with your heart you simply shut you mind off and follow it.' She walked into the kitchen and wrapped her arms around Nate's neck and kissed him, not like the time she kissed him in the park, this time she didn't pull away. This time she felt as if the room began to spin, her mind began to spin as images and voices echoed through her mind.


Jon opened his eyes he felt as if his body was on fire as his eyes opened everything seemed too bright. What was going on? What was wrong with him?

"What have you done?" Regina's voice asked as she sat down on the bed, "My Jon." She took a cool cloth and placed it on his head. He tried to speak but couldn't. "Shhh Don't speak." She whispered, "What ever you have done you have brought this on yourself." She whispered, "For some reason there is a battle inside of you a battle of magic."

"Why?" he gasped through his pain, as it seemed lightning was coursing through his body, he wanted to yell out, he wanted to pull away, but nothing he would do would end the pain.

"You preformed good magic did you not?" she asked, "Light magic?" She didn't wait for an answer, "That could be the only cause of this, a magic sickness." She dipped the cloth back in cold water and place it on his head. "I don't know what caused you to do so, and I don't care, I'm just happy you came here to fight it." She smiled her cruel smile, "You see one body can only hold either Dark Magic or Good Magic, you can't have both."

"I-" he couldn't speak the pain was to much he groaned as the feeling of the lightning began again flowing throughout his body.

"Shhh." She grinned, "I'm going to help you fight this with my own magic, with my magic the battle will easily be won."

"I don't," he yelled out in pain trying to speak he gasp for air in between words, "understand."

"I'm going to cast out any good magic that is within you due to your parents, I'm going to replace it full of dark magic." She leaned forward and kissed him, as she pulled away she placed her lips next to his ear, "By doing so you will finally give in to everything my magic has to offer. You will no longer be conflicted, you will no longer care about what is good and what is right, you will be like me, you will want power and everything magic has to offer."

"No." He cried out, but it was no use Regina already placed her hand on his heart. He felt every good feeling being taken from his body as the cold rushed in. He tried to hold on to his happy times. He thought of Arianna's smile he thought of her laugh. He thought of her touch as he held her in his arms, no magic Regina pushed on him would erase her.

"It's no use Jon." Regina hissed as she allowed more of her magic to flow into him, "My magic will consume you and turn you into everything you've hated. Don't think any thoughts of your wife can save you now." With her hand over his heart pouring more dark magic into him he yelled out, he couldn't help it for her magic hurt far worse then the battle of good and evil within him. His eyes began to close as the last bit of warmth left his body. Arianna's smile faded to a frown, the away to nothing. "I will take your love from you." Regina whispered as the man fell unconscious.
