Jon Snow the natural born son of Lord Eddard Stark has only been dreaming of getting the Stark name, but his father's wife Lady Catelyn Stark Tully. Has done what ever she could to make sure that will never happen as she sees bastards as evil vile creatures that are will to do anything to get what ever they want. Fearing that he will steal Winterfell from Robb his true born brother and heir to Winterfell.

In reality Jon has been content with joining the Night's Watch like his Uncle Benjen or being Robb's Captain of the Guard make something of himself through service.

One day on the yard sparring with Robb he's asked by Robb what does he want to do for his 7th name day that is within a couple of days. To which he responds by just shrugging it off and saying it's to be any other day. As always Robb trying to be a good brother tells him not to say that and say he'll gather some of their closest friends to which are not many. In which Jon responses by say that is how he like it just a small gathering around a fire eating some fresh hunted deer or boar. In the Wolfswood drinking for the first time of Norther Ale, but that's going have to wait until the day arrives as they finished their sparing training. They are putting up their armor and blunted steel weapons, Ser Rodrik informs Robb that he has lessons with Maester Luwin and that Jon is free for the rest of the day.

As they walked Jon tells Robb that he will ride out to the Wolfswood to find a location to set up camp for his name day. Robb is hesitant to let Jon ride out alone with no help or any guard to protect him. Jon tells Robb to stay calm that he'll be back and if he needs to stay at a local in at Crofters Village. Besides I'll be carrying a short sword for protection and I'll be back in a day or two so stop worrying. Robb tells Jon to be careful and embraces him with a hug before they part ways. As he is making his way to his room he comes across Lady Stark and his two sisters Sansa and the youngest Arya who is a babe. As he was getting closer Lady Stark notices his presence and sends glares of disdain at him and asks him what is he up to bastard. He responded by saying he is on his way to his room but both are interrupt by Sansa asking what is a bastard.

Lady Stark says that are evil creatures of lies, trickery, and lust for power to will take anything that they set their mind to it. Then pointed towards and states Jon is bastard an must always be vigil of them. Might not now what they plot behind their back, next thing he knows Sansa calling him a bastard and to stay away from her. To which Lady Stark smiles and gives Jon a sadistic smirk of victory, but for Snow it was a like knife to the heart and left without saying a word. He was finally making some progress in getting to know Sansa and getting her to talk to him and actually starting to look at him as a brother and not as a half brother.

Now that is not going to happen thanks to Lady Stark for telling Sansa who and what he is a bastard. As he finally reaches to his room he starts packing clothing for 3 days and goes to his dresser. Grabs hold of a short item wrapped in a cloth revealing his short sword. That was the length of his arm with a simple wooden hilt closely similar to his father's sword and Ice the Valyrian Steel Greatsword of House Stark. And on the blade it's self right by the hilt was a print of a direwolf curtesy by Mikken the blacksmith of Winterfell and a friend.

Jon waited till nightfall as everyone would be asleep at this time of the day. Jon makes his way to the kitchen to stock up on food rations he overheard from the servants. That his lord father might send him to the Eryie to earn a knighthood under Lord Arryn. After his name day and that enough for him looking forward that he might have a future at all. By the time he was done thinking about the future he was at the stables and was saddling up his stallion.

As he riding hard east to the wolfswood on the main road he noticed a certain pair of animal tracks. So he decided to dismounted and closely observed the tracks. At first a mountain lion, or a wolf but they are to big to belong to either of them. Then he sees the tracks lead to a small creek finding the corpses of a stag and a direwolf. From the looks of it the stag put up a hell of a fight but it wasn't enough to save as it was disemboweled completely. On the other hand the stag did land a lethal blow on the direwolf as it had one of the stags horns lodged in its throat.

When Jon removed the horn from where it was stuck, he noticed the 6 direwolf pups nearby. Then it hit him that these pups were meant for his trueborn siblings. As he was loading up the pups on his stallion he saw the runt of the litter an all white fur, red eyes albino direwolf and felt that he was dawn to the little guy so he decided to keep this one. As he mounted up he heard something and it was startling his stallion and frightening the pups as well. But didn't stay long as he rode hard back to Winterfell to show to his family. As he was making his way back he noticed a winter storm forming and decided to pick up the pace trying to get back home and wasn't enough. Before he even knew it the storm was already on top of him, next he know something was frightening his horse and saw something like a shadow circle around him.

Jon decided to draw his short sword to intimidate it, then it disappeared into the storm much to his relief. And puts his albino pup in the bag around his shoulder and then out of nowhere something grabbed him. Then pulled him down from his horse to the ground, after he gathered his thoughts he tried to get up but he couldn't as he felt a pain on his back. At first it was warm and wet then he felt cold and a surge of pain and irritation then he touched his back felt. Saw that his hand was covered in blood, he got up he grab his sword he looked around for his horse but nowhere to be found must've ran away back to Winterfell.

They he saw the dark figure again and it was a full grown shadowcat as he lifted his sword out of nowhere an arrow pierced the shadowcats forehead killing it instantly. Then he stuck his sword into the now heavy snow to lean on it as he was losing his conscious. As he fell to his knees he heard a voice of a girl asking him if he was okay then it all went black.
