Everyone thought there were only three trueborn members of House Baratheon... They were wrong.
Cassia and Asher Baratheon, the only trueborn children of king Robert Baratheon. When Asher was hidden after his own mother tried to poison him after his...
I ride away from the vale. I was happy to be away from it; usually I know how to work people. But, Asher Arryn was hard, he was calm and collected and even when he was angry he was hard to work on. Jon even said he didn't like Asher, which is hard for me to swallow because Jon knows who and who not to trust.
I enter a tavern, we're half way back to Winterfell but it just doesn't seem very right, everything just feels off. Maybe some ale would calm my nerves. Jon agreed to come too. I sat down with Jon, I thought hard about everything. I couldn't handle this feeling. It wouldn't leave. 'Turn around and go to Kingslanding before it's too late.' A voice says in my head, what does that mean? I'm exiled from Kingslanding so, I couldn't go back even if I wanted to.
"Are you okay?" Jon asks knocking me out of my thoughts and I nod a bit nervous about it. Then, someone enters the Tavern and I recognize her... Catlin. I take her arm as she walks by, she looks at me surprised and takes a deep breath of relief when she realizes it was me. She sat next to me and Sir Rodrick sat by Jon.
"Why are you here?" I whisper to Catlin, she sighs and explains how she went to Kingslanding to warn Ned about the Lannisters. The Lannisters tried to kill Bran once again. They have some proof on who did it. Which means that Jamie and Cersei will pay for everything they did. "Who? Who did it?" I ask eager to hear the words; then she explains which almost makes me gag... Tyrion didn't do anything! IT WAS JAMIE! I want to yell at them. Wait they were at the vale!? How did I not know about this!?
-TIME SKIP-
We arrive at Winterfell, Robb was supposed to be outside to greet us where is he? Then, I see Bran... Being carried on Hodor! He's awake! "Bran!" I say happily as I get off my horse and I run to them. He smiles at me, then Maester Lewin takes my arm and gestures for me to follow him.
I follow Maester Lewin into the Great hall and he gives me a Raven's note. My eyes widen as I read it.
To, Lord Robb Stark,
The King has passed from injures and Eddard Stark has been called a traitor because of miss calling his king; Joffrey Baratheon.
Your king commands you to travel to Kingslanding and bend the knee and take your claim to Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North. Call your father a Traitor and you won't be one also.
From,
Sansa Stark,
Sister of the Warden of the North and betrothed of the King.
I felt tears bulge in my eyes... Father... "No..." I cry and I drop the Raven's note. "I'm so sorry, Cassia but... Robb called the Banner's and now they are going to war." Sir explains and my eyes widen then I think, the grand Maester could have healed my father... Cersei!
"Cersei killed him! Cersei had the Grand Maester do nothing!" I yell madly, he gives me a sympathetic look; I must go to war with him. "I'm going with Robb to war." I say bravely, he shook his head he took my hands and felt sparks when he did "I'm sorry, Lady Cassia. But, Robb has commanded that you stay here." He explained. I got a bit offended, was he saying I'm not capable enough for this!? "I'm going and you cannot stop me! Catlin is going so I am going!" I shout madly, he nodded giving in. "Fine, but you must say that I at least tried to stop you."
I get packed, I then turn to my mirror, Tiana stares at me worriedly. "Can I come with you?" She asks and I nod, she sighs as I get changed into my armor.

I get onto my horse next to Catlin, Tiana was ride behind me and I made Cat let Jon come. Blackfyre strapped to my belt and my bow on my back and on the other side of my belt my arrows were strapped there. The gates get drew back and we ride out. Knight was running by my side whilst Ghost was by Jon's side.
ASHER'S POV
"Lord Asher, we got a Raven from Robb Stark. They have gone against the Lannisters and has called for our help." Sir Terrin announces, even though I want to I must refuse. "Send them a raven saying that we refuse their call. We must think of our people above there's." I order he bows his head and heads off.
I walk around the Vale when I see Katerina again with a man. "Lady Katerina." I say walking up to them, and she curtsies and the man bows his head. "Lord Asher, I am Clement Piper. Lord of Pinkmaiden, I have come here to make allies." Lord Clement says with his head up high, a boy about my age was next to him. "My lord, I'm Marq Piper. Heir to Pinkmaiden." He shakes my hand; I smile at him.
I talk with Clement Piper alone, he was a good man. Plus, he was smart. "Our loyalty will be paid, we promise." He stops me and looks at me. "I'd like for you to marry my daughter, Katerina.
Katerina... "I'd be honored, Lord Piper." I say not knowing what to say, he nods. "Then it's settled, you will marry Katerina. The wedding will be held here. In a week." He walks away and I run my hands through my hair, a smile crept onto my face. I liked Katerina, I was happy about it but... What if Katerina doesn't like me back? What if she doesn't like this?
CASSIA'S POV
We arrive at Robb's camp, we're led to his tent. We go in and when he sees us, he hugs Catlin. I look at Theon who looks extremely nervous I shake the thought out of my head and I turn my attention back to Robb. "She's the daughter of the queen!" One of the Northern Lords shouts pointing at me, I look at Robb.
"She would be a good hostage, just like Jamie Lannister. Having two hostages would make sure we're even with them." I turn and see Lord Bolton, he must have said that. "I'm not on their side! I am who I am, you are my allies." I try to reassure them but Robb seems to be in deep thought. "Take her." He blurts out, two of their men grab me and I look at him in shock.
"Robb!" I shout he looks at Catlin not daring to look at me. They take my weapons! "Robb! You know I'm on your side! I grew up with you!" I yell angrily and I felt betrayed; how could he do this!? The men pull me out of the tent, how could he do this!? He is like a brother to me! Then Knight stepped out growling making the men holding me get frightened, "let me go or I will order her to kill you." I spat at them, and they both look at each other and at Robb. Then, Greywind (Robb's direwolf) joins in growling at them stepping by Knight. "Greywind down." Robb orders but Greywind doesn't listen... I smirk at Robb, "let her go." Robb ordered.
The men let me go and give me my stuff back, one of them was handing Blackfyre over and I felt protective so I took it from him right then. I strap my weapons back to wear they are supposed to be. "I'm sorry, Cassia." Robb said guiltily stepping closer, I punch him as hard as I could and he stumbles a bit. "I grew up with you! You're like my brother and you would keep me captive as if I'm like them!" I shout and I call Knight to my side and I walk away making her follow me.
