Her eyes widened in horror as Gared was thrown into the room behind his Lord, who almost seemed to be smiling.
"You..." Whispered Kat hoarsely, "You were a part of this?"
Slowly, Gared raised his head, and ice washed over Kat's heart.
His face was coated in blood, glimmering like the surface of the sea. His swollen lip trembled at the sound of Katrina's voice, as he widened his left eye, the one that didn't have a large cut across it and finally made out her face.
"Kat! I swear I didn't! I pwomise!"
His voice sounded thick and slow, blood spattering across the tiles as he spoke.
"Seven Hells!" She cried, covering her mouth in utter shock, legs glued to the floor.
"I tried to stop them! Lord Karstark-"
Suddenly Karstark brought his fist into Gared's stomach, forcing him to the floor unable to breath.
"Gared!"
"Restrain him!" Bellowed Robb, as two guards locked their grips onto the furious Lord.
"I thought your loyalty was unmatched squire, but you've got no loyalty, and no balls"
Shaking with anger, Katrina unleashed a loud threatening growl which echoed around the hall. Her eyes burned a deep gold as Robb placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, keeping her magic as bay just enough for her not to become a wolf. But she had grown the fangs, and the claws, and the eyes.
"No one moves until we figure this out"
Katrina looked down at Gared longingly, lying at his Lords feet in agony.
"Look at them" Spat Robb angrily.
"LOOK AT THEM"
Slowly, Karstark and his men brought their eyes to the dead little lions in front of them. Some looked in regret, some in pity, some in vengeance.
"I see two dead Lannisters" shrugged Karstark.
"THEY WERE BOYS"
Everyone jumped back at Robb's bellowing tone.
"Yet it took eight of you to kill them. Two little boys"
"Seven" spat Karstark, "This one didn't have the balls to stay loyal to me!"
He kicked Gared again.
"Stay. Away. From him" snarled Kat, baring her teeth.
"Why, why kill them my Lord" challenged Robb
"Jaime Lannister killed my sons. This was just a taste of way I'm going to do to them"
"You have no idea what I'm going to do to you yet either"
Karstark glared at Robb, "You aren't man enough to do shit"
The room was silent.
"Take them all to the dungeons. They await execution in the morning"
Karstark widened his eyes in surprise, as he men began to beg for mercy.
"Your grace!" Shouted one of them, "I didn't do anything to these boys I swear it! I was only the watcher!"
"You hear that? This one was only the watcher. Hang him last so he can watch the others die"
