StoryTime *Chapter 4*

Katherine POV

Robb and I's walk has came to an end soon after he made his statemt that put me in a friendzy. When we got back to the feast my mother eyed me excitingly giving me a smile. I could tell what she was thinking. Me and Robb went off for two minutes and she already saw use getting married.... But I just gave her a sweet smile back. I went back to my spot next to Rebekah has Robb went back to sitting next to Jon. Has the night went on Robbs glances became more frequent until I left the feast early to take Annabelle and Jackson to their cambers to go to bed.

"But Kat I don't want to sleep I want to feast!" Annabelle complained has we walked into her cambers with Jackson on my hip. Because unlike Annabelle Jackson was to tires to walk straight on his own. "Shhh your brother is tired Anna" I said not waiting to hear her complain. "So send him to bed not me!" She exclaimed "Look here Annabella Mikealson you maybe some bit royalty, you may not be tired but you my dear are only 8 and it is already way past your bed time. I am sure this will not be the only feast the Starks will hold when we are here." I said sternly. She huffed "Fine.." She gave up. Jackson had past out on my shoulder so I lyed him on a chair so I could help Annabelle out of her dress. "Can you help me sow a new dress tomorrow?" Annabelle asked "Of course" I said. She slipped into bed and I put the fur blanket on her and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight Love." I said "Goodnight Kat" She said getting comfortable in the bed. I gently pick Jackson back up wanting not to wake him. I opened the door and slowly closed it has I walked out. "Well it seems the little one was tired" I heard a soft deep voice I turned to see the one and only Robb Stark. I smiled politely "Yea probably from him stuffing his mouth full of lemon squares" I said softly. He chuckled "Shall we?" He asked gesturing for me to show the way to Jackson's chambers that was only two doors down. I started to walk only and stopes once I got to the door and slowly opened it and walked to his bed. I could feel Robb close by. I laid Jackson on the bed took his the heavish wear he had on for the feast and put his furr blanket on him. I kissed his forehead and turned around "Kat?" I heard a soft little voice and I turned around and saw Jacskon eyes open looking very sleepy. "Yes?" I asked "Can you tell me a story" He asked in his sleepy cute voice. " Of course I can my little muffin" I said sitting down next to him on his bed smiling. "Now what would you like to hear about tonight?" I asked and watched Robb sit on a chair close by from the corner of my eye. "Our family one" he gushed "Mikealson story it is" I said smiling still. Jackson has suddenly became more awake then ever, he always loved this story I would tell him it at least once a week but I enjoyed it.

"A hundred years ago their stood a little girl with bright red hair. She stood at the corner of an old store and bakery and cried. Everyday people saw her has she cried and wondered where her parents were and why she cried everyday of every night. She was only of age 8 old enough to care for her own but too young to know how to do so. It was the same has any day people went by and saw the small girl with red hair cry for reasons unknown. Until a boy only of age 14 came up to her. " Why is the pretty red head crying?" He asked "If I cry someone may save me..." She said weakly " Were are your parents? " He asked her "My mother died having me and my father left me to rot on the streets when I was of age 4" She said. The young boy felt for her. She was so broken and alone and no one helped her. "And what is the red head's name?" He asked her "Evie" She said weak "And how old are you girl?" He asked "8" she said. His heart dropped, 4 years she spent alone,4 years these people stared and did nothing. And he wasn't going to let their be another year added. "Well Evie, I'm Niklaus Mikealson and you don't have to be alone again." He said. Evie's face brighted which made Niklaus too at seeing her smile. He brought her home in hope that His family would allow the girl into their royal family...Niklaus's family was only visiting the town and was to go back to Kingslanding, where his father played the hand of the king. His parents had good souls but Niklaus did not know if they would allow the girl into the family of 6 children. But in pure shock they happily did. Has Evie grew older (in the picture) she spent her years growing up with the Mikealsons learning the everything the normal girl would learn and she sorrowed fight with Niklaus and his sister and brothers. Evie grew fonder and fonder of Niklaus. But she kept it quiet she was part of his family now and he probably just thought of her has a peasnt girl in her mind. Until the night he came to her chambers and confessed his love her and the agreed to marry at next son down. But little did they know men were to come in the early morning and kill every Mikealson blood. Evie lived, Evie wasn't the blood of a Mikealson but she soon learned that she carried one. Evie had once been a broken little girl until that man came along. But she realized has she raised their child he didn't save her, he helped her become strong, independent and brave. Even after his death she raised their child, she kept and protected their family name. She didn't have to be married into the Mikealson name because everyone but Evie knew from moment she stepped in front of the Mikealson family she was and forever known has Evie Mikealson."

I finished telling the story and smiled at the half asleep Jackson. His eyes closed once again. "Goodnight my love" I whispered and kissed his forehead again. And stood up quietly has Robb did the same and we walked out closing the door. There was silence has we walked again. After a few minutes Robb spoke. "Its that story true?" He asked "Yes, Evie Mikealson was our Great great great grandmother." I said with a hidden smile. "And there was no story of the Mikealson sons before that time?" He asked " Well back then things were different we weren't writing and recording everything on paper yet I don't believe." I said "All we had was my great grandmothers stories past down by generation. Since she was the only one to serve the blood bath." I said "Did you ever meet her or did they find out who did it? " He asked interested. "She died when my father was in the end stages of being a boy becoming a man. Me nor my siblings ever meet her. But she took an impact on my father. My brother Nik was named of after my great great great grandfather we just call him Nik for short." I said "And has for the killer well.. It was Lannisters before my grandfathers time of course but Lannisters. My own blood killed the other half of my blood" I said softly. " Your family must have hated them how was her father and mother ever allowed to be" He said "Well Evie always would teach her son that everyone, men,woman and even Lannisters should be equal and should be treated with respect. Not very Lannister is bad my father knew that. Just like my mother knew that not all Targaryens are crazy people." I said "So they weren't force to marry?" Robb asked "No in the Mikealson family you chose who you want to marry your reasons are your own but there is no forcing. If must we can get courted with someone of we are close to 18 and not married yet." I said "Well you grew up with a lovely family then. My mother has been trying to get be to marry since I was interested in girls." He said laughing "Are you not married?" I asked. Now it was my turn to ask a million questions "I am not, although my mother would wish so." He states " I'm surprised " I said wishing I had not " I saw him smirk has got to my door. "Does not being married surprise you?" He asked amused "Well yes, I would have thought that you being of almost 20 you would have found someone to would fall for you" I said "Yes but I haven't found the one that I love at least that my mother approves of. She believes I will learn to fall in love with the one I marry." He said "I want to be in love when I marry not try to be" He continued "I'm sure your mother isn't this bad on you with marriage." He said "No she not but I do only have 2 weeks to find the one to marry or I will be courted with someone here in winterfell" I said. He looked at me a bit taken back "Do you think it could be my brothers?" He asked "No, to hey would only court me with someone around my age which would only leave Jon." I said "You would be allowed to marry Jon?" He asked surprised " I could marry I king all the way down to a farmer has long has my parents believe I'm happy." I said "So it could also be me" He said with a smirk " Indeed it could Robb Stark" I said back with a slight smirk " Well goodnight." I said with a smile "Goodnight Lady Mikealson" he said smiling at bit "Katherine, just Katherine or Kat" I said opening my door. He smirked again "Goodnight Kat" He said "Goodnight Robb" I said smiling and went into my room closing the door. With big smile on my face. I shook out of it and took on my dress leaving my slip and getting into my warm comfy bed....
