The farther north they got the farther away from humanity it felt. 

Sienna made them a fire but they were running low on food so they were rationing to the extremes. They were weak and tired and running out of patience. They were going to die out here. 

Sienna was curled up like a cat into Jojen as they rested preserving their energy before they kept going into the unknown. 

Bran startled awake when Meera started shaking him.

'Why did you wake me?' Bran Questioned annoyed.

'You were gone for hours' Meera told him

'I was hungry' Bran grumbled. 

'We're all hungry'

'I was just eating' Bran told them. Sienna sat up wiping the sleep from her eyes. 

'Summer was eating' Jojen corrected holding onto Sienna.  ''your body can't live on the food your wolves consume. Spending too much time in summers body is dangerous. You are not a dire wolf, though it must be glorious though to run, to Leap, to Hunt, to be whole.' Jojen told him. Sienna stretched her arms out as Meera got up, she knew that Meera was itching to get going. ''I know it's tempting if you're trapped in summer for too long you'll forget what it is to be human' Bran ate a piece of bread Sienna offered him.

'You would forget us, you would forget your mother and father and brother and sisters you would forget Winterfell, you would forget you and if we lose you we lose everything.' Meera told him. He ate silently avoiding their eye. Sienna wondered if she would forget her home  her family the longer she spent here or if that was something she could never forget. She hoped never to forget her father. 

''Hodor take me to the tree' Bran told him and Hodor picked him up bringing him to the tree placing him down at the roots. The tree had a face and its trunk and vibrant red leaves when he touched the tree his eyes went white.

'I know where we have to go' he told them.

They lay around the fire Summer curled up by Bran's feet when they heard a baby's cries in the distance.

" Hodor." Hodor declared. 

"Do you hear that?" Bran questioned. 

"Is that a baby?" Sienna questioned confused. WHat would a baby be doing this far out in the middle of nowhere. 

"It's coming." Jojen said vaguely. 

"I'm going out there." Bran decided. 

" No, we need to stay together." Meera corrected. 

"I'm going." Bran corrected. 

"I hate to agree with meera but I think she's right Bran." SIenna agreed but Bran was already focusing inwards and his eyes turn white. Summer left the camp, inhabited by Bran. SUmmer ran through the woods towards the cries of Crasters baby when suddenly the ground gave way. Bran sat up gasping for breath. Sienna and Jojen moved to him. Sienna helped him sit up. 

"Bran. Bran." Jojen said with urgency as his eyes came back. 

" Hodor. Hodor. Hodor." Hodor shouted nervously. 

" Bran, what happened?" Sienna questioned running a hand through his hair. 

"Summer, he's hurt. They've caught him in a trap." Bran told them. 

" Who?" Meera countered. 

"I didn't see, but they have my brother's wolf. They have Ghost."

''Lets go get Summer back." Sienna agreed. 

"Dangerous." Jojen corrected. 

"SUmmer is part of this team too." Sienna reminded him. Jojen nodded as Hodor picked up Bran. 

"Things are going to happen quickly," Jojen whispered holding tight to her hand. "I need you to be ready. Ready for anything." 

"What do you mean?" SIenna whispered. 

"Get down." Bran instructed and Jojen pulled Sienna down beside him.  "They look like nights watch.' Bran remarked as they peered into Crasters camp.

'If Jon was here why would they put his wolf in a cage?' SIenna questioned.

''it might've been the nights watch once but it's not anymore, we're not safe here. we have to go now!' Meera told them as she saw a woman being dragged away screaming and kicking. She didnt want to be next.

''I'm not leaving without summer' Bran told her
''It's not safe here-''

''Can you remember where the cage was?' Meera asked impatiently.

''The Eastside'' Bran told them.

"I can get Summer." Sienna offered.

''I will get Summer." Meera corrected.

"You still dont trust me?" Sienna questioned in disbelief.

"I dont trust anyone." Meera offered. "If I'm not back soon we are-' meera said walking away but she was jabbed in the face knocking her down Hodor stood up but he was a gentle giant and he was scared as they were soon surrounded. Sienna's eyes went wide before slitting into emerald green cat eyes and JOjen watched as she shifted into a black cat hiding behind him. 

Sienna followed behind them the cover of night giving her black cat appearance the look of a shadow, she snuck in behind them unseen. SHe couldnt use her magic while in this state but once they were alone she could turn back. She hoped she could turn back. 

'Help him up,' Tanner said for Bran couldn't use his legs and he was laying on his stomach they put him sitting up right next to his friends.

'This is nice,' Tanner said pulling at Bran's clothing 'fine leather you are no Wildling, you're a highborn who are you?' He questioned but Bran remained silent, his eyes wandering to the girl. Tanner smacked Bran across the face. Sienna withheld the urge to hiss at Tanner. ''You see, where I come from if I hit a little lord Like you I would lose my hand but you're a long way from home aren't we? And the two of you fancy looking folks creeping through the woods isn't that a bit odd?' ' he moved over to Meera playing with her hair. 'look at your curly hair, my mom had curls like that.' he said 'beautiful brown curls 'he said playing with her hair running his fingers along her face. 'Did you drag the cripple boy all the way here?' everyone stayed quiet. Jojen's eyes shifted to a pair of glowing eyes in the darkness, he shook his head ever so slightly and Sienna took a step back her tail whipping viciously she couldnt help it, she was furious. 

"Hodor." Hodor pulled at his chains uselessly. 

"If I was your size, I'd be king of the fucking world." Rask remarked. 

''See you haven't played this game before, highborn hostage that's valuable but three of them that's a lot of mouths to feed.'' Tanner informed them. 'What the fucks wrong with him?' SIenna wanted to help but she couldnt give up her leverage as soon as they were alone she would help but Jojen fell to the ground seizing the man grabbed meera putting a knife to her throat. 'What's wrong with him?''

"No, please. Please. Please, let me help him." Meera screamed as she struggled with a blade at her throat, Sienna never felt more useless.

" Who are you?" Tanner demanded. 

"Please." Meera begged. 

"Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?' Tanner demanded.

''I'm Brandon Stark!" Bran shouted. "I'm Brandon Stark of Winterfell' he shouting hoping the man would stop.

''That's Jon Snow's brother' another man said and he let Meera go, she ran to her brother holding his head as he continued to seizure. Sienna's breath hitched looking to Bran and Hodor, a chain around hodors neck and arms keeping him subdued. 

''And I thought this was going to be another boring day'' Tanner remarked smugly.
