Chapter 2
I looked over at Theon and gave him a slight nod of my head and a smile. He grasped my meaning and said: "Your just jealous Robb that Kayla loves me more that she does you" he applied a mocking tone to put his point across further. "Huh, because she'd really go for a guy like you Theon. Your standards aren't quite that high." Theon bristled, "As a matter of fact I have had girls in my bed that are worth 10 of Kayla!" this was when I started to get annoyed. "Hey, that was uncalled for." Things soon escalated and it ended up with Robb and Theon face to face shouting abuse at each other. This was when Jon stepped in, he stalked past me, slightly touching my arm as he went passed and he barrelled into the two men pulling they away from each other. I walked over to Robb and gave him a pat on the shoulder, "You shouldn't get so worked up, you know he's only messing with you." I had a worried expression on my face as he looked at me. "I know Kay but it just makes me uncomfortable when he talks to you like that, you deserve much better than the son of the disgraced Balon Greyjoy can offer." He gave me a steely gave which made me feel like he was looking into my soul. "I know Robb, I don't mean to sound ungrateful because I am grateful. I really appreciate you standing up for me, it's nice to know that someone has got my back." I gave him a shy smile and walked over to where Bran was waiting with his bow. "Sorry about that Bran, do you want me to help you?" Bran looked up at me with his big eyes, it's startling how much he Robb and Sansa look like their mother. Only Arya and Jon actually look like their father. "Please Kay, I want to show Mother and Father that I can shoot." With that he hefted up his bow and applied his shooting stance. I watched him ready himself and let out a pent up breath. "Remember to shut everything out, forget everything, just let it be you and the bow. Yes like that. Good Bran." Then after a few seconds h released the arrow and we watched it as it hit its target. At this point the boys were back in the training area and they were watching eagerly. The arrow struck the target right on the very edge. Bran seemed upset with his efforts but I gave him a reassuring pat on the back. "Well done Bran, your learning quickly, soon you'll be a good as me." I gave him a quick wink and he started to smile again. He quickly glanced up at his father who smiling down at him. "That was brilliant Bran, you're getting better every day." Bran replied, "Thank you Father". With a smile Ned and Catelyn left the balcony and went back inside.
About 10 minutes later whilst I was in the middle of sparring with Robb, Theon came running up to us, "Quick you lot your father wants you, a traitor of the Nights Watch has been found and he needs to be sentenced. Bran your coming too." With that Theon ran off to get Lord Starks things. "Hey I'm coming too." I called to Robb. "Umm I don't think so Kayla, Father would never permit it, you're a Lady after all." I let out a heavy sigh and fixed my gaze upon Robb. "and what difference does that make? I can fight better than you and if you haven't forgotten I watched my home attacked and burnt down by foreign invaders and to top it all off I sat there while my brother died in my arms!" With that I stormed off, tears in my eyes that were threatening to spill over. I heard footsteps behind me and turned around to see Jon stood there with a sad smile on his face, I walked up to him and he covered me with his arms. I snuggled closer to him and let out a small sob. He gently stroked my head and rubbed my back, slowly I lifted my head up and looked into his eyes. They grey orbs, so beautiful with the light shining off them. He was looking at me too, an unspoken question hanging between us. His eyes flicked to my lips and back up to my eyes in less than a second but it was enough for me to see what he was thinking. I smiled at him and he smiled back, slowly moving his head down to meet mine, I closed my eyes as our lips met. He was gentle at first but he started to get firmer as we got into it. We pulled apart when we had run out of air, he looked at me again my lips now slightly swollen form the kissing. He gave me a quick peck on the cheek before he spoke. "Wow. Umm.." was all he said at first, I laughed at him. He had always been shy but he seemed to come out of his shell more when he was around me. "Yes, wow that was just, well wow". The intensity of his gaze was starting to make my stomach flutter. He placed a warm hand at the side of my face and rubbed my cheek with his thumb. My eyes fluttered closed as I leaned into his touch. "I..I think I might love you Kayla Pendragon." My eyes flew open and I stared up at Jon with a look of surprise and pure glee. "Really?" My voice was breathy and quiet. He simply nodded his head, his mass of hair moving slightly with it. "Well I love you too Jon Snow" his face cracked into a beautiful smile the likes of which I had never seen before, when he smiled like that it made him look so care free and happy. His smile was infectious and soon I was grinning like a fool too. He laughed and picked me up by my waist and spun me round, I started to giggle, he put me down and silenced me with another kiss.
