It had been a few weeks since being summoned by the Starks. I had been mainly hanging out with Rickon, Bran and Arya. I have been teaching them many things about the enchanted forest and Storybrooke. I even got Arya able to do a simple stitch for mending wounds. In between teaching the trio I have to admit Robb has been asking to spend some time with me. Showing me all of Winterfell and of the towns nearby.
I am in the middle of spinning more gold when I hear someone knocking on my door. I flicked my wrist to unlock the door and open it to let the person into my room.
"Hello Rose." Robb treated me with a great smile on his face.
"Well hello Robb. How are you this fine day?" I asked him stopping my spinning to give him my full attention.
"I am well. I actually came here to see if you would like to have a picnic with me?" Robb asked looking a bit shy.
"Oh trying to court the Dark One are you Stark?" I asked cheekily walking towards him.
"Yes I am." Robb stated stating into my eyes.
I blushed at this revelation. No one had ever seen me in this light, or better yet no one has ever said anything because they feared my father.
"I would love to have a picnic with you." I answered feeling my heart skip a beat.
He offered his arm to me, I gently wrapped my arm around his and let him lead me to the stables. He had two horses ready for us and offered to help me get on my horse. Once I was seddled upon my saddle Robb got on to his horse.
We rode out of Winterfell and entered the woods. We rode for a while until We came upon a clearing in the wood. There was a blanket and a basket there waiting for us. I looked at everything and smiled in wonder. Robb was able to freeze time it seemed without magic. It was enchanting.
"Robb this is beautiful." I tell him as I get down from the horse.
Robb had gotten down from his steed and walked with me to the blanket. He helped me sit down, once I was comfy he sat down in front of me.
"I wanted to get to know you without the others being able to barge in." Robb said and opened the basket and offered me an apple.
"Well what would you like to know?" I ask him and make a knife appear and start to cut the apple apart.
"Well do you have any other family besides your father?" He asked while watching me cut the apple up.
"Yes but I didn't get to know him. My father had a son, Baelfire, who was a normal human. There was a war happening and my brother was going to be taken and die. Father didn't want that so he found the Dark One and killed him thus turning my father into the next Dark One. When father killed the guards that were going to take Bae he made a promise to protect Bae from everything. As time progressed father gave into the darkness and did horrible things in the name of loving his son. Bae seeing his father turn into a monster was hard for him so he asked the blue fairy for a way to save father. She gave Bae a magic bean, one that would take them to a realm without magic. When Bae used the been he tried to get father to follow him but father let go and lost Bae." I gave him the watered down version of what had happened.
"That must have been hard. To finally have saved him just to lose him to the power you tried so hard to get. So when do you show up?" Robb asked as he fed me an apple slice.
"He had a tryst with a witch named Morganna but she didn't want me so he kept and raised me in secret. For the very beginning of my life I wasn't important to him. He didn't see me as anything else but a tool. But then when I was still young I became very sick. He saw that he could loose me in a more permanent way. He then went to great lengths to heal me. He finally found a cure became a true father to me. He finally loved me as much as Bae." I stated as I fed him an apple slice.
He nodded deep in thought. This was a lot to take in so quickly. We continued to feed each other the rest of the apple and the rest of the food. Robb asked simple questions like my favorite color and other things of that nature.
We spent a good while just enjoying each other's company until we heard some horses coming towards us. Robb stood up ready to defend us while I made a fireball appear in my hand. We were ready to fight until we saw that it was Jon and Theon.
"Here you two are. Lady Catelyn wants you home Robb." Theon smirked at us after saying that
"It looks like our picnic is over now Rose." Robb said and started to pack up.
Once everything was packed up we got back on our horses and headed back to Winterfell. While we rode back we kept looking at each other. I blushed every time we looked at each other. I was flabbergasted mainly because I am a good 110 years old an yet I'm blushing like I'm Snow White.
We arrived at Winterfell to see Catelyn waiting for Robb. She was none to pleased, well if her face was anything to go by then yeah she was pissed.
"Robb come with me now." Catelyn commanded leading him into the keep.
They walked for a while till they got to Eddard's office. She ushered Robb into the room then slammed the door shut. Meanwhile I teleported to my Dark One's Castle. I made an exact replica of father's keep. I then enchanted it more by "trapping" it in an amber and made it into a pendant for a necklace. I wear it all the time so no one can get all of my magical and technological items.
I teleported to the main workshop in the keep and watched what was going on through the looking glass that was in Eddard's office.
"Ned do you know where your son was just now?" Catelyn snapped at him.
"No I do not." Eddard said perplexed.
"He was having a picnic with that Dark One Girl. You know I don't approve of that girl." Catelyn said.
"Mother I enjoy Rose. She has done a lot of good for not only Winterfell but for the surrounding towns. She is strong and beautiful, why wouldn't I want to court her?" Robb asked his mother.
"She's over a hundred years old. How do you know she can even bear you children?" Catelyn shouted.
"That doesn't matter! I could grow to love Rose and you won't ruin my chance at happiness." Robb yelled back.
"You are the heir of Winterfell you have a duty to uphold." Catelyn retorted.
"You want to marry Rose?" Eddard asked his son.
"When she is ready yes." Robb told his father.
"Rose to me please." Eddard commanded.
I teleported to his office and smiled.
"Yes you called Eddard?" I asked looking t my nails.
"Do you want to marry my son?" Eddard asked while holding onto the Dark One's Dagger.
"Right this minute no but if we become betrothed and got to know each other better I would like to if he asked me." I replied.
"Can you still have children?" Catelyn chided at me.
"But of course I can. I stopped aging at eighteen so I can have an entire horde of Stark pups." I answer winking at Robb.
"Good you will marry in three moons time. Now go enjoy the rest of your day you two. I need to talk to your mother." Eddard stated as we walked out of his office.
I smirked at Catelyn while holding Robb's hand. She was going to learn quickly you don't tangle with the Dark One.
