They have been traveling for weeks. They never stop for long normally in small village just enough time to get supplies such as horses and things they did not have time to pack. They had left their horses ever so many villages to make people think they were staying there. Then they moved on at night making their way to the next villages paying for four new horses. Most of the time they keep their features hidden otherwise they we camping which was not the most comfortable way but it keep them safe for now. It had kept the Lannisters off their tracks for now. Raenera was not stupid she knew it would not last for long. In villages she learned little things like how the North had risen up in open rebellion and a war had started. She keep that information to herself it was better that Sansa and Arya did not know that their family was in war and their fates were up in the air. They were somewhere in the Riverlands. They were going towards Winterfell or Riverrun. Raenera knew that Riverrun was the Tully home and if she could them there they would be protected until they were reunited with the rest of their family.


They had stop for the noon meal making their camp by stream in the forest. Sansa quickly learned respect for Raenera. Raena and Gendry had taken care of them the best they could; most nights she took the watch or Gendry did. Arya was her friend before they left kings landing and had become fast friends with Gendry. Raena and Gendry would hunt for their food with Starlight. Starlight reminded Sansa and Arya for their direwolves. When Starlight was not with Raena she was sitting with Sansa or playing with Arya.

"I'm going to take a look around. I thought I heard men moving around. I'm going to scout ahead." Raenera said.

"Are you sure it safe?" Arya asked

"No, but you both are wanted by the Lannisters. I'm not, not yet anyway." Raenera answered honestly.

"Go Rae I watch over them" Gendry said.

"Raena be safe please" Sansa said.

"I will stay here with Gendry until Starlight comes and get you."


Raenera wandered closer to the large encampment Starlight was at her side. Her eyes drifted to the banners she smiled a true smile for the first time in a long while. She looked to the sky muttering thanks to the gods. She nodded to Starlight to head back to the girls and Gendry. For the first time since they left King's Landing; Raenera let her guard down.

"I'll fulfill the promise." Raenera said softly.

"Well what do we have here a Lannisters spy no doubt." Ramsey Snow said

They quickly grabbed a hold of her causing her cloak to fall off her head revealing her dark chocolate brown locks. She started to struggle to be let go. She was knocked to the ground blood flowing from corner of her lip. She quickly was hauled to her feet again. Her wrists were bond by a thick robe. She had cut by her hair line from the struggle and bruise forming by left corner of her mouth as blood flowed from her busted lip. Her gown was ripping in the struggle. Three large men dragged her back into the center of the camp.

"The King in the North decides what to do with you" Ramsey Snow stated.

"It truly is a pity she is quite a beauty and most likely she will be killed." Another soldier muttered.

"I would not be so sure of that" Raenera muttered under her breath.

She was dragged through the camp. She could feel all the soldiers' eyes on her. She did not like the man that spoke to her first. He was almost mad like her blood father was. Her mind wandered back to Starlight, Gendry and the girls.


She was thrust into a tent where men were conversing about battle plans. Her head was down as papers were moved. Raenera looked up met eyes with who she guessed was Robb Stark from his sisters' description and her book her father gave her. Her nearly purple blue eyes met his Tully blue eyes. She quickly adverted her eyes to the ground in a show of respect and also to hide her attraction to him.

"We caught a spy." Ramsey Snow announced.

"Don't worry, the bitch, will not live long." Lord Karstark muttered.

"Your grace" Raenera said softly piecing the room with her voice.
"Let her go, what your name" Robb asked coming closer to her.

She nearly fell to ground as roughly as they let her go. She moved her shoulder pulling the strap of her dress up. Robb nodded to two of his lords to get Lord Umber and his lady mother. Greywind came closer to her smelling another direwolf on her. Robb knelt down before her.

"I'm Lady Raena Arryn. I bring a gift for you and your mother from King's Landing." Raena answered.

"What would I want in King's Landing?" Robb growled.

Robb looked that the lady before him. She was classical beauty; her dark nearly black hair fell around her back. Her eyes caught his graze. The color was once beautiful a rare color in this world. Her eyes were very much the still guarded. This was the woman that King Robert wanted him to marry the woman from the painting. They regarded each other for a moment in that moment; Starlight pushed her way into the tent she took up spot next to her mistress baring her teeth at Greywind. Sansa and Arya came and stood near Raenera for a brief second their eyes wide when Robb met their eyes. By the doorway to the tent was Gendry dropping deep bow with her belongings. Arya ran and hugged Robb tight she was quickly followed by Sansa doing the same.

"Robb" They both cried.

"That gift" Raenera said softly get to her feet.


She had slight limp Starlight noticed that fact and quickly let her lean on her body to keep her upright. Gendry hurry forward taking one of her arms to guide her. Raenera smiled down at her silken stroking her fur and then smiled up at Gendry. Arya let go of Robb's arm and ran after her friend.

"Rae, where are you going?" Arya asked.

"I don't belong here Arya. You are with your family let me go be with mine."Raenera answered.

"Where's your family?" Arya asked.

"Arya, we been over this. The only family I know of is far across the narrow sea and I plan to go find her. I fulfilled my promise to your father. I really don't belong here. "


Catelyn walked up to the tent led by Rodrik Cassel her eyes went wide at the sight of her daughter Arya with an unknown lady with unknown man stand near her. Robb walked out of the tent with Sansa still clinging to his side. His eyes were locked on the unknown lady.

"Arya, Sansa" Catelyn yelled.

Sansa and Arya eyes drifted to Catelyn both ran towards her hugging her. Robb walked over to her and Gendry with Greywind. He paused a moment at her side.

"You have my thanks Lady Arryn, who is this" Robb stated.

"Gendry your grace. I don't suppose you are in need of blacksmith" Gendry said.

"Call me Raena, your grace. He is quite good." Raena said back.

"We can always use a blacksmith; only if you call me Robb, Lady Arryn." Robb said

Robb nodded to few of his soldiers to show Gendry were to go. He was more entranced with beauty before him. She had the same guarded eyes that she had in the painting. He quickly figured out that Lady Arryn had been the one that orchestrated their escape from King's Landing. Now looking into her eyes there was spark behind the guarded looked that showed real intelligence. She may look like doll but she was anything but just a pretty face. All the while as he studied her she studied the handsome young man before her. Gendry was like a brother to her. She could truly see herself happy with him in a different world.

"You are above me King Robb." Raenera said.

"Just Robb; you save my sisters from Kings Landing, I think you deserve my respect. I feel I must apologize for the way my men handled you Raena."

"They thought they were defending you, their king."

"May I offer you my tent for you to bathe and maybe change? I heard you plan to cross they narrow sea. May I suggest you stay with us until we reach the coast? It is dangerous for a lady to travel alone. I am truly shocked nothing has happen to you and my sisters on your way here but you had young Gendry with you"

"We had Starlight for protection too."

Robb's and Raenera's eyes traveled to the direwolf in question. Greywind was fascinated with her as well. Starlight turned to look at Robb and Greywind as her mistress did as well. Robb was handsome with his auburn curly hair. He was truly more than she could ever hope for too bad his father did not agree to the match but then again he was bit too far out of her league. He was gentleman she thought as she thought about his offer.

"Thank you Robb"

He nodded to Theon to lead her to his tent. Theon walked over to her bowed his head slightly offering her his arm. Raenera pursed her lips for a moment weighing if she could trust him; she gave up and quickly followed him. Something about Theon did not sit well with her. Robb eyes lingered on her as Catelyn walked up to him.

"Who is she?" Catelyn asked.

"Lady Raena Arryn"

"Jon Arryn's bastard what is she doing here Robb?"

"She is the reason Arya and Sansa are back. You owe her your respects and thanks"

"What are you going to with Ser Jaime now?"

"I still want father's body back."
