Lillian had woken early as she had for many years, walking down to the stable she ready her father horse. The guards of Winterfell smiled at her as they let her out the front gate. Under strict rules to just inform Jory or Ned that she had left.
They knew where she went. As she rode her father horse a million thoughts went through her head she was now a lady at twelve years old she had bleed and unfortunately sat through a long discussion with Lady stark and septa about what came next.
Jon had followed Lily as she rode to her old castle, when she arrived he watched her as she moved around. Her hand trailing against the rocks until she finally came to a stop her eye examining the wall.
"Lillian" Jon called out
"Jon" Lillian smiled patting the fallen tree "Please sit"
"You okay?" he asked bumping her shoulder
"Just escaping Lady Stark" Lillian smirked
Jon chuckled "You two huh?"
"I would rather hear words of hate, than words of my lady duties" Lillian rolled her eyes "Apparently her and your father will decide who I am to be betrothed too now that I am of age" Lillian rolled her eyes
Jon smirked "Well hopefully someone kind and gentle"
"I want a man just like you" Lillian nudged him here eyes screaming with the truth of her feelings but her facial expression left no sign of emotion. Jon always looked hoped that Lillian would confess her love for him, she would be happy to be his husband.
"You want to know a secrets?" Lillian asked Jon after long moments of silence, Jon nodded "My brother Grant climbed this wall"
"No he didn't" Jon spat in disbelief
"Ask your uncle His returned him back to us many times"
"He has" Jon asked in disbelief
"Yep…and he once told me he met a giant"
Jon stared at Lillian "I think he was lying Giants aren't real"
Jon Snow POV
I stared at the sight in front of me, I couldn't believe it Lillian was right all these years "First time you've seen a giant, Jon Snow" Ygritte asked "Well, don't stare too long. They're shy. When they stop being shy, they get angry. And when they're angry, I've seen them pound a man straight into the ground like a hammer on a nail"
I stared in disbelief and than followed Ygritte. I huffed when a rocks began to hit me" Crow!"
"Crow!"
" Look over there!" Someone shouted
"Crow!"
"You're wearing the wrong colour!" Ygritte stated
"Mance was a ranger!" I stated
"In your hearts, all you crows want to fly free"
"When I'm free, will I be free to go?" I asked
"Crow!"
"Crow!"
"Sure, you will. Oh!" Ygritte laughed "And I'll be free to kill you" Ygritte tripped over a kid "Got no respect, this lot. Got no fathers to slap 'em when they're foul"
"What happened to their fathers?" I wondered,
"Some of them were killed by crows like you. Don't look so grim, Jon Snow. If Mance Rayder likes you, you'll live another day. And if he don't..."
Walking into the tent I saw a man eating chicken "I smell a crow"
"We killed his friends. Thought you'd want to question this one."
"What do we want with a baby crow?" he asked,
"This baby killed Qhorin Half hand. He wants to be one of us," Ygritte yelled from behind me.
The man stood staring at me, this was Mance Ryder "That half-handed cunt killed friends of mine. Friends twice your size." He spat angrily
"My father told me big men fall just as quick as little ones if you put a sword through their hearts" I stated, my heart squeezing at the thought of my father.
"Plenty of little men tried to put their swords through my heart. And there are plenty of little skeletons buried in the woods. What's your name, boy?"
"Jon…. Jon Snow" I fell to my knee "Your Grace"
Laughter filled the tent lifting my head I frowned "Your Grace?" The room continued to laugh, "Did you hear that? From now on, you'd better kneel every time I fart"
"Stand, boy." Frowning I stood "We don't kneel for anyone beyond the Wall. So, you're Ned Stark's bastard. Thank you for the gift, Lord of Bones. You can leave us" Turning my head Ygritte and the lord of bones left me in the tent.
"You married?"
"No"
"Children?"
"No"
"Why would you want to be free?" He asked "Why would a sworn brother of the nights watch want to be a wilding. If you're anything like your father"
"I'm a bastard I just want to be free," I confirmed hoping they wouldn't see the lies I was breathing. Looking down I bite my lip "If I was to be free it would be for one reason only…One person only"
"Whom?" he asked,
"The person I love" I nodded
Mance stared me in the eyes "What is her name?" he asked
"Lillian Falls"
Mance stared at me before turning to the bearded man I confused as Mance "This chicken eater you thought was king is Tormund Giantsbane" I looked at the red bearded man "Tormund get me the one from the south"
BRENT POV
"AH No, No, No it hurts god it hurts" Lillian muttered shaking her head, sweat pooling down her face. Grabbing the cloth I cut I wiped her forehead "I can't Brent"
"Push pass it Lily come on" I nodded gripping her hand stronger.
"Nope no…. no it hurts oh god please no" she shook her head side to side; her eyes closed tightly, her face screaming in pain.
"Lillian I need you to push, push with everything you have" I whispered "If you don't this baby will die, I know you're tired, I know you're weak and its hurts but you need to push"
"I can't" She shook her head in defeat.
"Lillian you're my sister, my older sister, you're a Falls and Falls don't give up, we don't back down now push for all the gods hold dear, push this baby out…please for Jon, for you Lillian FUCKING PUSH"
Lillian blue eyes stared at me, sweat dripping down her face, she nodded gripping my hand, her eyes closing shut. No scream escaped her lips as she pushed. Looking down I saw the head.
"Keep Going Lillian I see its head" I nodded, letting go of her hand I positioned myself down there, it wasn't something I wanted to do I was Lillian brother but at the given time I was all she had.
Lillian began to push and the baby began to slide and before I knew it the slippery body was in my arms. Wrapping the baby up in the horse blanket I placed it on Lillian chest.
Cutting the cord the baby cried and Lillian tired self began nursing him "His beautiful" I whispered
She looked at me "We must move" She stated,
"Lillian" I shook my head no "just rest, nothing is going to ever happen to you or him" sitting down I put my arm around my older sister as my nephew ate. Leaning the back of my head against the tree "You did so well"
"We did so well" She smiled up at me "Thank you, thank you so much Brent"
"Don't thank me I am your brother Lillian its my job" I nodded "Now What are you going to name him?" I asked staring at Lillian, she smirked looking down at her child.
Jon POV
"You asked for me Mance" A man with long brown hair tied at the back of his head, blue bright eyes, built solid and strong.
"Little Jon here said something, something that I thought you would like to hear" he nodded
"Yeah what the crow say?" he asked staring at me
"What the girls name you're in love with?" Mance asked,
I frowned in confusion "Her name is Lillian"
"Mance what game is this?" he spat angry "Did you bring me here to torture me some more, I told you I will fight with you I do not need to hear anymore bullshit" He spat angrily his eyes raging like a storm.
"Grant this is no game" Mance nodded
"My sister is dead" he spat angrily
I stared at the man in front of me trying to remember what Grant looked like but nothing came to mind "Lillian is not dead"
"Yes she is I went beyond the wall boy, I've seen the fucking keep" Grant grabbed me a knife to my throat "They killed my mother, my father, my sisters and brother"
I shook my head as the cold blade was pressed to my neck "No Lillian, Brent and Nadine are alive" I hissed.
Something in Grant eyes flickered, an emotion I had seen before "How do I believe you? How can I know what you speak to be true?" he asked removing the dagger from my throat and staring up at me.
Reaching into my shirt I pulled out the locket Lillian gave me "When I said I was leaving I noticed her cry for first time, it was gut ranching and in the fork between kings landing and wall we departed but not before she gave me this locket"
His blue eyes gathered with tears wanting to fall but none ever dared slipped, I could tell where Lillian got her mask from, her elder brother did it so well "She's alive" he whispered holding the locket in his fingers.
"Very much so…well from the last I heard yes"
"What you mean?" Grant hissed angrily
"She in Kings Landing"
"Why would she be harmed in Kings landing, King Robert rules the seven kingdoms, your father best friend"?
"He died his son sits on the throne…my sister was sworn to be his betrothal but now she their prisoner"
Grant calculated everything I wondering if the words slipping from my mouth would be true. He opened his mouth only to close it "She saved the twins?" he asked "My sisters and Brother are alive?" he asked in disbelief
"Yes… yes Grant Falls"
Grant stared at me "I haven't heard that in a long time" he nodded his own hand removing the locket around his neck "A very, very long time"
