Broken War Heart

Shocked Results *Chapter 2*

Katherine POV

When we finally arrived in Winterfell I quickly fixed my dress and and my hair. I was never the one to really care what others thought of my appearance, only what I thought. But this time was different. I knew I would see the Starks within minutes and I instantly felt nervous and scared. Here I was just a few minutes ago encouraging my sister while I was now feeling about the same has her. Annabelle and Jackson where excited about meeting these new people who they had never meet before or that they could remember.
Rebekah had started to get out of the cramped carriage we where in while I took a minute. "Come on Kat we get to meet the Starks!" Jackson said in his little voice. I cracked a smile at this "I heard the Stark boys are cute.." Annabelle said quietly. "Annabella..." I warned. I didn't like the idea if my little sister thinking about boys well because I know she will flower any day now and I really don't want her to get married off to the first handsome guy she falls for that could be her biggest regret in life.Our doesn't make us marry when us girls flower, we must try to find a man to marry of of choice weather for love or gold if was up to us. But once we reach the age of 18 we must be married or have been married in the past because anywhere you go in Westeros was terrible not to be married by that time and my time is running out..
Jackson ran out of the carriage to go find mother with Annabelle behind him. It was up to me to fouce myself out of this carriage and in my mind it was becoming a battle.... I slowly got out of the carriage and went to walk to my family. Joseph walked behind me. "Breath Kat its just the Starks remember." He said calming me has we reached the rest. I got in my place in the line of my siblings has we faced what I presumed to be the Stark.
"Ah! Andrew it's been too long!" Ned Stark said giving my father a "manly hug". I took that moment to take a good look at the Stark siblings. As I looked at each one I was filled with shock they had grown so much. Hendrick that was before a baby was now a young boy that looked truly adorable. Then there was Bran who didnt look like the same little boy he was before but not yet a man. Then came Arya Stark she wore her slightly dirty clothes that I presume her mother will yell at her for later. I laughed softly she was everything I expected her to look like and that was a good think. Then was Sansa with her red hair that was a bit more brown and less bright then mine. She looked very clean and proper with a wide smile looking at our family. My smile grew more she hadn't changed one bit. I noticed Jon was next which I didn't expect to see since Lady Stark feels for Jon weren't...good. But I believed since this wasn't in a public place in front of the village he was allowed to stand with his family. I smiled at that he deserves to stand with his family being born a 'Snow' shouldn't take away his rights. But I notice he had lost that bright smile he once had that was replaced with a soft faint smile. Then finally I looked at the last sibling and my mind went in a friendzy. He looked...wow he looked different. He looked like a boy that was just starting to become a man and that was not what I expected. He had a newly shaved face and was wearing dark shades of color like the rest of his family... I knew it was him but at the same time I couldn't believe that was..Robb Stark..
"It has been too long Ned" My father agreed. "Lady Mikealson" Lord Stark greeted. Mother laughed "Ned, please  call me Ashton we've known each other
for too long." Mother said smiling while Lord Stark agreed and repiled with a smile. "I'm sure you remember my children you've all meet but my youngest." Father started "Jonathan forst born 21 now with a two children, Joseph he's now 19 soon to be married, Katherine our first daughter 17, Rebekah 16, Nik 14, Annabelle 9, and our youngest Jackson 5." Father said filling them in on our ages. Has he said each of our names we smiled at them. When my name came along the Stark siblings eyes widened has though they didn't recognize it being me.
"You have all grown so much and so well" Lady Stark said. "Let me introduce you to my children again... We have our First born Robb, my second Jon,Our first daughter Sansa, Arya and our youngest Bran and Hendrick." Ned informed us all as we smiled at them. Sansa and Aryas eyes never left mine and their smiled stayed wide.
When the greetings were done we went out separate ways try Sansa and Arya wanted to go with me but Lady Stark damanded her children be ready for the feast that was tonight. A nice servant showed us to our rooms I was last since I wanted to make sure I knew where my siblings would be staying. "Katherine when you get settled in please come to mine and your father's cambers I would like to speak with you." She said sweetly. My mother was kind and hyper and not your typical lady and a I loved that but she also knew when and where it was appreciate to have to be a lady and she was okay with that. "Of course mother" I said. I was brought to my room and I thanked the kind woman who had brought me. My things were already in my room and I laid on my bed completely tired. I just wanted to sleep but I knew I must go see my mother first...

I walked down to talk to my mother. Knocked on the chamber door and she soon opened it. "Oh come in my sweet Kat." Shd exclaimed. "You wishes to speak to me mother?" I questioned " Ah yes, I know this is a terrible time to randomly bring this up but me and your father hoped it would come to this." She said and I knew exactly what she was talking about " I know mother but I want to marry for love and I haven't found that someone yet." I said " I know honey, but you are meeting your deadline you should have been strongly looking for someone to marry 8 years ago but we where happy to let you wait since you where so young anyway." She said " If you find no one in Winterfell in the next two weeks me and your father have found some for you. Not to marry just yet but to get to know each other." She said " So your courting me?" I questioned. " she shock her head yes " I'm sorry sweetly I wish we didn't have to but their are people in the mang family we are in pressuring us but we don't want you to marry someone you will grow to hate either." She said " I know mother its okay I understand its what j was meant to do" I said. She took my face " You my sweet Katherine were meant to do what you want to do and it's not right someone can take that away from you." She said. I smield at her " its the Game of Thrones Mother its bowned to happen." I said sarcastically. She smiled and I hugged her once I pulled apart I asked if I could take a nap in her room before the feast so I would not over sleep. And she agreed and that's exactly what I did I took a nice peaceful sleep..
