Eleana's pov

I woke when dawn hasn't come, it was time to leave home once more and arrive in Kings Landing but first I must visit Winterfell. It's been too long and I promised Catelyn I would come to save her sons life if I could. It's been too long since I used my healing powers. I grabbed the closest dress I could find and went down stairs to greet my family, I saw my sister Lily and gave her a kiss on the forehead. I sat next to her and saw my mother and father walk in, we ate and talked about my name day coming up soon shame I won't be able to spend it with my family. Once we finished we headed to the gates to greet me fare well. I decided not to ride to ease my mother and in case I got tried from riding when we head to Kings landing. My carriage was ready as well as the horses and all that was left was me.

"Travel safely my daughter' my father smiled and kissed me gently on the cheek, I turned to my mother as she gave me a hug, then I knelt towards my sister as she gave me a necklace, it was simple but had one of my favourite stones, I had her put it around my neck and hugged her as I heard her sob onto my shoulder. I let her go and got into my carriage and saw my family once more until I was off to Winterfell.

It had only been a week since I left Starhill and was almost nearing Winterfell. I thought about my family touching the necklace my sister gave me until my carriage stopped. My doors opened as I saw a hand, I quickly grabbed it and saw Robb, Catelyn and her youngest son Rickon. I smiled at each one of them bowed.

"Robb my you have grown, the last time I saw you, you were just a babe and now a man" we hugged until I moved onto Catelyn as we exchanged words about Bran and then I moved onto Rickon.

"Well hello there" I knelt in front of him as he started into my eyes.

"You are really pretty" we all laughed as he gave hug as a gladly received it

"Do you want to see something?" I pulled back as he nodded his head. I pulled my hand out and closed my eyes and concentrated on what to think, and then suddenly I opened my eyes and saw I dire wolf pin.

"HOW DID YOU DO THAT!" he asked so loud his mother had to quiet him down. I placed the pin onto his clothes and told him it was magic. Robb lead me to my chambers for the night as I changed into some more appropriate clothing. I walked around Winterfell until I found Bran's chambers, I walked in and found Lady Stark.

"My Lady it is time, the full moon is at its apex" I sat next to Bran and tried to work my magic. I continued to heal him but I was missing an ingredient, his most favourite possession.

"Is there something Bran enjoys?" I asked Catelyn

"Climbing, he loves to climb all the time" she smiled

"I will be back, I need something that represents it" I walked out of the room and tried to find a tower he loved to climb, I took a piece of the wall and returned back to his chambers until I heard distance yelling and screaming. I quickly ran to Bran's chambers and found I man trying to murder him and Catelyn, I quickly grabbed my dagger and stabbed him in the gut but he knocked me over and was about to kill Bran until his dog tore through his neck. I stood up and helped Catelyn up.

"Are you alright?" I looked at her hands were the blade cut threw her skin.

We both looked at the body that had been savingly been torn by his wolf.

It was early morning as I was about to leave for Kings Landing but I too heal Bran and meet Catelyn at the White Oak tree as she told me to make sure I told no one. I continued to walk until I found Catelyn, Robb, Theon, Ser Rodrik and Maester Luwin, I continued to walk and spoke about why we were here.

"What I'm about to tell you must remain between us, I don't think bran fell from that tower I think he was thrown" he looked at me as I was shocked, who would what to hurt a ten year old boy.

"He was always short-footed before" Maester Luwin stated to Ser Rodrik and I

"Someone tried to kill him twice, why? Why murder an innocent child? Unless he saw something he wasn't meant to see" he stated that it was the Lannisters as apparently they loyalty to the crown is false as giving evidence of the blade.

"They come into our home and tried to murder my little brother if its war they want.... If it comes to that I'll stand behind you" Robb and Theon replied while looking at each other.

"What, is there going to be a battle in the Godswood? Two easily words of war become acts of war, we don't know the truth yet, Lord Stark must be told of this" he looked up at Catelyn

"I don't trust a raven to carry these words" she stated

"I'll ride to Kings Landing" Robb quickly stated but was denied by his mother stating that they must always be a Stark in Winterfell and she will go herself along with Ser Rodrick.

"Why not entrust me with such message, as soon as I arrive in Kings Landing I will surely pass your message to him" I walked over to Catelyn as she caressed by cheek and held it there.

"You have done too much for us my sweet, I must do this for my family" I nodded and began to return to the castle.

*******

We were back in Bran's room while Robb, Catelyn and Theon waited for the return of Bran, I grabbed my ingredients that I collected and combined them together with fire. I stirred it and drank it, I sat by Bran's bed and began to chant as I felt it leave my body and into Bran's.

"There, it is done, he will sleep for a couple of hours until he awakes, unfortunately my magic always has a price and that I couldn't see past his mind and find the truth" I sat up and felt his heart once more feeling my magic healing him.

"Will he be able to walk?" Robb asked

"I'm sorry, my magic doesn't work like that, I am still enhancing the power I have gained and may risk his life if I used it without control" I was about to leave until Catelyn grabbed my arm. She hugged me and thanked me. I continued to walk as I entered my carriage and began to endure a month on the road.
