I own nothing

The next morning, Raenera woke up shaking her head removing the sleep from her eyes. As she remembered where she was at and what has happened. She got out of bed pulling on her robe over her nightdress. Starlight raised her head for a moment before yawning resting her head on her paws.

"Morning Starlight"

Raenera moved over to her bag removing a grey blue gown. She shrugged off her robe and nightdress. Before, she quickly pulled on her small clothes and gown. She took the brush from the bag and started to work the tangles out of her hair. After all the knots were removed from her bed ridden hair she pulled her mass of hair into hair style. It had two smaller braids go back to the base of her neck. They lead to thick braid that hung down to the middle of her back. Starlight hopped off the bed as Raenera rose from the chair. She reached down taking her arrows and bow in her hands.

"Come on girl."

Raenera smiled at the few soldiers she did pass on her way into small wooded area. She set up a mini target. Starlight loop around sniffing around the leaf litter. She rolled out her neck before; she drew her bow out with arrow. She let the muscle memory take over. Let the world fall away. She was focusing on the target imagining it was Joffery's face. She heard a snap of twig spinning around to source of the sound her arrow drawn. Her eyes went wide at sight of Robb and Greywind. She lowered her bow. The line went slack. Greywind bounded over to her rubbing his large head against her leg.

"Hello, Greywind; Starlight is around here somewhere why don't you find her" Raenera said to Greywind.

Greywind perked up and head off to find Starlight. Raenera smiled as he ran off. She turned back to the target let the arrow fly hitting the dead center. Robb moved closer to her.

"You can shoot"

"It gives me peace. I am imagining it Joffery's head. Not that I ever actually do that but…I will keep that promise."

"What promise?" Robb asked coming over to her.

"A promise I made to my father. Or at least the man I consider my father. I broke it once I won't do that again."

"Broke it once what was the promise?"

"I promise I would never hurt anyone with the bow and arrow. I broke it on the way up here." Raenera said looking away from him.

"How did you break it?"

Raenera walked over to large rock near them. She sat down and motion for Robb to do the same.

"It started to second day heading north. We were passing through a small village for supplies. Gendry and Starlight was with Arya and Sansa. I had wondered farther into village to find some medical supplies and cooking supplies. I was making my way back to the meeting point. I could feel someone eyes on me. I pulled the cloak I was wearing over my head and tighter to my body then moved off into the wood surround the village. I thought it would be easier to lose the person in woods than in small village. I was wrong. He was man twice my size came upon me. He made unwanted advances toward me. I tried to tell him no and that was not interested. He called high-born whore as he threw me to the ground with my cloak. I had maybe arrow on me. He was trying to remove my gown. He was straddling my waist holding me down with his weight. He had knife he was trying to cut off my clothes. I was so afraid that he was going to force himself upon me. I reached behind me to where the one arrow I could feel was grapping it. I put all my force behind it shoving it through his eye. He fell back not before cutting a three inch cut in my shoulder by my collarbone. He died. I was covered in blood. I had to switch it up myself until I could get to someone to help me." Raenera answered.

She pulled on left shoulder of gown neckline revealing the wound with little pieces of black tread still sticking out where Starlight had pawed her yesterday evening. Robb reached out touching the wound. He picked up a piece of broken tread.

"Did my sisters know of this?"

"No, I did my best to hide what horrors I could from them. I did not want them to suffer anymore than they already had."

"I want healer to take a better look at that wound."

"It doesn't hurt anymore."Raenera laughed moving the gown back in place.

"I wanted looked at anyways" Robb stated.

Robb looked at her as she watched Greywind and Starlight play together in the brush. He could see why his father had agreed to match beside her beauty. She was something else. Her eyes linger on Starlight as she was pouncing Greywind. He allowed it and rolled her. She laughed as they both looked over to their masters. Robb looked at her with a gruff chuckle as he saw Greywind and Starlight play like pups. They were both able to hold their own against each other much like Raenera and Robb. It was clear neither of them were going to back down.

"What going to happen to Starlight when you cross the narrow seas?" Robb asked.

Raenera looked down to leaf litter biting her bottom lip. She thought about for a long moment before turning to look at her with sadness in her eyes.

"I would leave her with you or your sisters. Where I'm going it is too hot for her. It will pain me to do so but it is the right thing to do."

"You know you will be always welcome in the North. You know you could stay. I'm sure your uncle will welcome you into the Last Hearth." Robb tried.

"Robb don't bring him into this. I'm sure he would. You have no clue how dangerous what you want is."

"How is it dangerous?"

"If you think for one second that if the Lannisters learn of a Targaryen in Westeros they would let me live in peace. You are drafter than I thought. They would want me dead. Like Robert wanted my sister dead and she is across the narrow sea. Regardless, if I wanted that hunk of iron or not; Raenera countered.

"If you don't want that chair what do you want?" Robb asked looking at her.

"I want what most lady want. I want a family; a family of my own." Raenera started. She looked off into the distance; as if she saw her own family that she longed to have. She knew that would likely never happen. She realized she would never truly be free of the game. The red keep yes but the game was still in place. "But will never happen. Yes, I have family here. But if I stay you will tell my uncle of your father wishes and he would make me marry you regardless of what I want. I would be put on another throne. Something I never wanted; your grace" Raenera said.

Raenera stood up and stalked off back toward camp. Robb walked over to the tree pulling out the arrows. He thought of her words. She was everything he was thought woman were not suppose to be. Yes she could play that part but she was more. He still wanted her to marry him like his father wanted. She was right even if she chose to stay with her family in the North. She would, in time, marry him no matter what she felt for him. She was not what he pictured his wife being. He ran his finger over the feathers of the arrow. She had fire that he rarely seen woman. She could be his equal if needs be. He was even more bound and determined to make her fall for him. Robb eyes traveled to the path she taken. He felt a nudge on his leg. He looked down seeing Starlight rubbing against his leg. Starlight had a few wildflowers in her mouth. Most of them were destroyed but one was perfect. He reached down petting her large head taking the flowers from her mouth. He held the flower as he watched Starlight run after her mistress.
