The Other Stark girl

Journeys

As Eve arrived in The North, she knew it was dangerous for her to be here.But was she any safer in King's Landing?.She had not known where she would find her brother's men, her brother's soldiers.She walked through a forest, touching her cloak, and to her surprise, she found a pocket and in that pocket was a bag of coins.How kind of Lord Varys.Perhaps, she could stay at an Inn.She strode through the forest, keeping her black cloak on.
"Who goes there?" a man who appeared to be a Stark banner man, garbed in murky brown garments."I-I.Nowhere, Ser.Who are you loyal to?" asked Eve.Another man emerged from behind him."Tell us who you are".She decided not to tell them who she was, not yet."My answer depends upon whom you've sworn fealty to.Come on, tell me" she commanded.The two men stared at her."We know no King in the North, but Rob Stark".Thank the Gods.That brought a smile to her face."Splendid.I am Eve Marianne Stark.I am your King's sister".

The two men did not seem to believe her."Oh, you think you can fool us" the one that spoke had a hooked nose and brown hair.The younger man chided him."What are you saying Willem?, it really might be her".Eve glared at them."Why would I lie about being King Robb's sister?.If you don't believe me, you can take me to him and he'll tell you".That seemed to have silenced him."A'right, then" Willem grabbed her wrists and put them in chains."What in the Seven...what are you doing?" Eve asked lividly."We cannot trust you.Lady Eve is in King's Landing.If you are a Lannister or married to one, you will be a valuable prisoner like The Kingslayer".She glared at him again."Willem, is it?".The man nodded."Do I look like a Lannister to you?.I have dark hair and—".The man yanked the chains pulling her forward."Save it for the King".

"Your Grace" the two men entered Robb's camp, with Eve who had a bag over her head.Willem pushed her to the ground."This woman, I believe, is a Lannister.She has a bit of a Southern accent, Your Grace and she claims to be your sister.But Lady Eve is in King's Landing is she not?" Willem spoke, rather proud of himself he might have captured a valuable prisoner."Yes, she is in King's Landing and there's been no word from her.Take the bag off her head, Willem".The banner-man yanked the bag away, revealing Eve's tired face.Robb's eyes widened, his eyes shifting from his sister to Willem."This is Lady Eve! This is your King's sister that you've put in chains!.Remove them this instant!" the young wolf bellowed."My apologies, Y-your Grace.I was just trying—".Robb's glare was enough to silence the man who removed the chains and profusely apologized to Robb as well as Eve."Leave us, Willem and call Lady Stark".As Eve rose, the two siblings embraced each other."How I've missed you, Robb or is it Your Grace now?" she giggled, her chin on his shoulder."Oh my lovely Eve.I've missed you too.You must tell us how you managed to escape that snake pit".

As they had finished embracing each other, Eve turned back to look at her mother who was a shell of her former self.Catelyn Stark's face was gaunt now, her cheeks were sunken, her fingers maimed."Mother..." the two embraced each other."My beautiful daughter.My darling Eve".

They all sat down later to break bread together."I am going to kill Willem for treating you the way he has".Robb said, looking at Eve."Robb, he was just being a loyal banner man.He genuinely thought he captured a valuable Lannister prisoner.It was an honest mistake and I'll not have you punish the man for loyally serving you" Eve said.Catelyn's eyes had not left her daughter, not even for a moment.She had almost forgotten what Eve looked like."And how did you escape King's Landing?" probed Mother Stark.A faint smile played across Eve's lips."Oh.It was Lord Varys who smuggled me out of there.Were it not for him, I wouldn't be here" she sipped the wine from her goblet, pursing her lips."Poor Sansa.Lord Varys left me at the docks before I could ask him why he didn't help her escape as well, but then I supposed he was already running a large risk helping me escape" Eve said."How is Sansa? How is Arya?" Catelyn asked."Well, Cersei forbade us from seeing each other.We had separate chambers.The last time I saw her, Cersei seemed to have her wrapped around her little finger.Even when we were allowed to roam the Red Keep, Cersei would always be summoning her, and Arya slipped out of King's Landing when..."."Ser Illyn, Bring me his head".Eve's eyes welled up with tears."Wherever Arya is, we must thank the Gods she isn't in King's Landing" Eve said.Catelyn and Robb nodded their heads in agreement."Oh, so Robb, you're the King in the North now.Would that make me a princess?" Eve laughed.Robb shot her a warm smile."Of course it would, dear sister" he winked at her, raising his goblet."I heard you captured Jaime Lannister.Bravo!" Eve exclaimed."Once Cersei and Joffrey heard you captured him, they began to be less cruel to me and Sansa.Make sure the man does not die.As long as you have him, she will be safe, I am sure of it" Eve said, swirling the wine in her goblet."Brother, I have to start sparring with someone soon.Needless to say, I've been a bit out of practice" she chuckled and then looked at Robb and Catelyn."I am just so happy to see you both".They smiled at her.

"Willem!" Eve shouted outside her and Catelyn's tent.She strode forward, hoping the man would hear her and come."Eve Stark" a voice close by had said.She looked around to see where it might have come from.Her eyes rested upon a cage and in that cage was a man who had a thick bread sullied with mud."Who are you?" she asked, walking towards the cage.He laughed."Don't you remember me? We met in Winterfell".Jaime Lannister."I do apologize Lannister but it is difficult to recognize you when you are not wearing your handsome armor" she taunted him."You are your father's daughter....Back in King's Landing, you followed him wherever he went".

She grimaced at that that.She did not wished to be reminded of her father because when she was, it would bring back horrible memories."I'm afraid I have to go, Lannister.I see little to no point in conversing with you" she turned on her heel when he said."How did you escape?".She turned back to face him."I don't see how that should concern you.Now like I said I have to go—".He stared at her."I should like to know how to escape this grey waste.Perhaps, you could help me" he winked.Her green eyes glared at him."You'll lose your head if you try to flirt your way out of here.You are here in this cage, in plain sight.You'll never be able to escape.I didn't think you to be so dense".Willem bolted towards Eve."Where were you, Willem?" she exclaimed, tearing her eyes away from Jaime."I'm sorry, my Princess.What's the matter? Is the Kingslayer bothering you?" he said.She looked at him and then at Jaime."Yes, he was, but I am letting him off with a warning this time.No harm shall come to him" her gaze shifted to Willem."My sister is still in King's Landing.We have to make sure Jaime Lannister does not die.Have someone clean his cage and feed him".Willem nodded."Oh and Willem?" she said."I just wanted to say there was no need for you to apologize.You were simply serving His Grace and I admire that" she smiled at him."Though I would appreciate you not being so curt with a lady captive if you were to happen upon one" she chuckled.Willem nodded."Thank you, my Princess".

Willem left and Eve was making her way towards her tent."Goodnight, Eve Stark" said Jaime."Goodnight, Lannister".
