Lillian POV
Winterfell had changed it wasn't filled with laughter, loud noises and busy souls. It was cold and covered in cold thick layer of snow no one spoke kindly they grunted and swore. Whores from the brothel found themselves on once banned lands inside the keep. Screams ran through the night enough to make your skin crawl.
I wasn't allowed out of my chambers and no one came to bother me accept one young girl that ran my bath and left without a word. I had found myself pacing my room a lot, standing at the window I stared at yard, a place I once learnt to fight.
"Lillian you wanted to learn now come on" Lillian turned in her bed looking up at the person who took her in "time is ticking and if my wife finds out she kill me" Lord Eddard Stark laughed "come on"
Lillian didn't need to be told again, leaping from her bed she quickly changed behind the curtain and was out the door quicker than you could say go. She caught up to lord stark who was smiling as he jumped into the training ring.
"Morning Lady Falls"
"Good morning Rodrik" Lillian smiled
The morning was spent training Lillian it didn't take long for her to catch on and both Rodrik and Eddard made a promise to Lillian that they would train her everyday and everyday they did. Same time in the morning Lillian became fierce and stronger.
The sound of feet hit my ears turning sharply the door unlocked and I stared at Ramsay "would you like to come to dinner?" He asked hope in his voice.
"No"
Ramsay lip twitched "Lillian"
"Why?" I questioned
"Because you have hardly eaten, you pace up here back and forth and you've had four weapons removed already" he stared at me his eyebrows raised.
"And?"
"Just come eat Sansa will be there" hearing her name made me want to go. Inhaling I nodded and he moved aside. When I was in the dinning hall memories flew into my mind all the laughs and fun times and it was replaced with coldness.
"Where is Sansa?" I questioned taking my seat, Ramsay sitting in front of me his crooked evil smile "Ramsay"
"She is fine I wanted to have dinner with you" he pointed "for old time sakes you know, I do miss my best friend and Myranda wants me to end you, but I won't"
"You mean the twisted Whore you sleep with?"
"No not Sansa that's my wife"
My jaw clenched together "of course you raped her"
"Ah ah ah not rape made passionate love"
"You wouldn't know what love is Ramsay you don't have any love within you what so ever, you're cold and pathetic"
"I love you don't I"
"Do you?" I questioned
"I have loved you since we were kids not in that way but don't you dare question my loyalty and love again Lillian Falls"
Scoffing "your whole personality is questionable Ramsay Snow"
"Bolton"
Rolling my eyes "you're a bastard you always will be"
Silence filled the air Ramsay blue eyes pierced into mine "eat"I stared at the food my stomach growled but I didn't come here to eat I came here to check on Sansa "your mother gave me this Locket" looking up at the Locket around his neck "she swore the falls will always be there for me that we were family"
"She probably said that before you slit her baby daughter throat" my cold eyes glared at him "tragedies change people state of mind, death is coming for you Ramsay, it won't be pretty, people will fall but by end you will take your last breath and when the old gods come for you hope they're as evil as you were to people surrounding you"
His eyes closed "I am losing my temper with you" he grunted through gritted teeth "I will not lose I will not-"
"You will not win and you want to know why because no one will ever follow a traitor and that is what your family is, your father a pig, traitorous pig who killed Lady stark a women who raised me when she never had too and plunged a dagger in Lord Eddard first born son, my brother and best friend. The North my be afraid of you but let me remind you having Sansa as your wife won't guarantee you anything. Starks are out there and whilst there is a stark your rule to winterfell will be nothing, 1000 years of loyalty doesn't change because your father has declared himself warden of the north"
"Lillian" his voice was filled with warning but I didn't care I had to get it out.
"Your father is a spineless traitorous pig who will forever belittle you and treat you like a bastard and regardless of you having fantastic horrible war plans, he will never choose you. He will never choose his bastard son" I spat angrily.
His hand slammed on the table standing up the table rocked and his eyes were filled with pain "GO BEFORE I DO SOMETHING I REGRET GUARDS TAKE HER TO HER CHAMBERS" laughing I stood the guard letting me walk without his grubby hands gripping at me.
….
Commotion was surrounding the keep frowning I looked out the window my eyes wide as the scene in front of me occurred. Banners of Stannis Baratheon began to fall. Looking out the window it was now or never.
Gripping the outside window I began climbing down the watch tower. Around the side and onto the walk way. Keeping my head down low my body stopped dead in it's track and I gripped the person I had ran into "Sansa"
"We have to-"
"Agreed" turning Sansa walked in front of me looking at the wall I saw the bow gripping it I grabbed a few arrows. The sound of Sansa gasping stopped me in the shadows.
"My lady I am here to escort you back to your chamber"
"Go with her please" theon begged
Biting the inside of my gums. I loaded my bow holding it ready for use "I know what Ramsay is, I know what he'll do to me, if I'm going to die, let it happen why there some of me left" Sansa words pierced my heart.
"Dying? Who said anything about dying" the sound of her arrow getting disarmed from its nock gave me the advantage I needed "your father was warden of the north, Ramsay needs you but I suppose he doesn't need all of you…just the parts to my his heir a boy or two and his finished using them, then his got his got incredible plans for those parts" the sound of her rearming herself hit me ear. Stepping out I released my arrow and watched it go through the air and right into her chest.
"I warned you" I hissed.
Theon stared at me nodding he grabbed her throwing her over the ledge, looking down her hear smashed on the ground, horn sounding caused the three of us to jump "his coming back" theon gasped.
Gripping Sansa hand I grabbed theon and we began to run, Theon pulled up to the wall. Looking down I nodded gripping hands one more time we leaped off the tall wall. The sick feeling filled my stomach,, than I felt it the rush of pain shooting up my legs.
"Move it" I hissed
Theon helped Sansa up and we began to run through the thick snow. My feet began to get wet the coat I wore was not for winter so the cold winter air nipped at my skin. Pressing my lips together I kept my mind on one thing keep moving, save Sansa keep moving.
"You're freezing" Theon muttered beside me
"I am fine" nodding my head we kept moving
My eyes went wide at the sound of barking "it's the only way" theon whispered.
"I can't" Sansa gasped taking her foot out of the frozen river we had to get across.
"The hounds"
"This cold I can't I will die" Sansa stuttered
"I've seen what these hounds do to a person this way is better" Theon begged.
Looking behind me the barks got louder "go both of you now I will lead them away and stop them. Both of you go and Theon don't betray us" I stared at him "go"
"Lily"
"GO" I yelled
I watched them emerge them self in waist high water and trudge through the cold water and onto the other side "Lillian" Sansa begged.
"Go"
Theon grinned Sansa hand pulling her along and out of sight. It didn't take long until the guards were in front of me "where is lady Sansa"
Smiling "she went the other way, funny how misdirection works"
"Ramsay wants you back"
"Why?"
"He said to bring you back and he wants his wife"
"Well you've come the wrong way silly silly"
"We found you" one guard spits
"So you did" I laugh
The guard approached me and I didn't struggle I didn't allow fight I admitted to defeat. The hounds barked at me feet like crazy and the tug occurred.
I refused to look back watching ahead they said nothing as they dragged me to winterfell. Ramsay eyes were like ice when he seen me walk in the gate, him knelt over his beloved Whore body.
Smirking his eyes turned dark "chamber" he growled and off I was to the watch tower again. My heart beating rapidly as they released the shackles, going to the fire once the door was shut I began warming my hands my whole body praising the warmth that licked at my skin.
Jon POV
"Open the gate" frowning I walked to the window and stared at the gate as it opened. Giant women was the first thing I seen riding forward into the yard but my eyes fell off her when I seen that red hair.
Walking out of the chamber I stood and stared it could be it couldn't. I watch the red head turn and my eyes widen taking the steps down to the yard slowly my mind still in shock.
Stopping just before her I couldn't believe it she was grown, no longer s little girl I remember seeing last. Sansa ran to me her arms wrapping around me tightly and I held her with everything I had.
"Sansa" I whispered into her ear gripping my sister tighter than ever.
Wrapping my arms around Sansa I guided her to my chambers. We sat by the fire a blanket strapped over Sansa and a bowl placed to her lips. She no longer looked as if she was ready to freeze to death. I wanted to ask, ask about all of them. Especially Lillian.
"This I good soup. Do you remember those kidney pies old nan used to make?"
I smiled "with the peas and onions?"
"Hmm"
"We never should have left winterfell" I signed
"Don't you wish we could go back to the day we left? I want to scream st myself, "don't go, you idiot"
"How could we know?"
"I spent a lot of time thinking about what an ass I was to you. I wish I could change everything" I looked at Sansa.
"We were children"
"I was awful, just admit it" Sansa laughed
Chucking "you were occasionally awful. I'm sure I can't have been great fun. Always sulking in the corner while the rest of you played"
"Can you forgive me?" Sansa asked
"There's nothing to forgive" I shook my head
Sansa laughed "forgive me"
"Alright alright. I forgive you" we both laughed and than Sansa hand goes out towards me raising an eye brow she wanted me ale. Giving in to her she sips and begins coughing instantly and I couldn't help but laugh.
"You'd think after thousands of years, the nights watch would have learned how to make a good ale" I admitted it was horrible but kept you warm and the demons away.
"Where will you go?" Sansa asked
"Where will we go? If I don't watch over you, fathers ghost will come back and murder me" I smirked
"Where will we go?" she asked
"I can't stay here, not after what happened" I shook my head
"There's only one place we can go. Home"
Shaking my head "should we tell the biltong to pack up and leave?" I questioned.
"We'll take it back from them"
"I don't have an army"
"How many wilding did you save?"
"They didn't come here to serve me"
"They owe you their lives"
Sansa stands and walks to the table, placing her bowl down "you think they'll be safe here if Roosevelt Bolton remains Warden of the North?"
Rubbing my face "Sansa"
"Winterfell is our home. It's ours and Arya's and Bran's and Rickon's, wherever they are, it belongs to our family. We have to fight for it"
I looked at Sansa "I'm tired of fighting" standing I'm face to face with Sansa "it's all I've done since I left home. I've killed brother of the night watch. I've killed wildings, I've killed men that I admire. I hanged a boy younger than Bran. I fought and I lost"
"If we don't take back the North, we'll never be safe. I want you to help me. But I'll do it myself if I have to"
I stared at my sister the question itched on my tongue but it didn't come out off my mouth. Signing I walked out of the room leaving Sansa and walking out into the cold night air feeling it nip at my skin. Looking up at the moon I wondered if she was looking to.
