Father sat us down as we waited for the arrival of the Night's Watch.

Father was the Commander of the Lord Commander, It's hard to explain but he was.
He wanted me and my sister Bethally to find an honorable man to marry and have sons with.

It's confusing because the Night's Watch men aren't allowed to have a wife or sons, unless my father chooses one of them to marry his Children.

Me and Bethally were his last children as he was growing too old to have any more, I was the very last of his 7 children as I am the youngest of the Obelyn family.

It was boring waiting for the arrival of these men.

I started to fiddle and play with my auburn brown hair.

My mother looked at me with a warming smile

"Are you nervous?" My mother asked me

"No, I've seen the Night's Watch come in and out of our Village for my whole life. Why would I be worried now?"

"Because you will be wed to one" She spoke as he put her hand on top of mine

"If they aren't here on time I'll cut their balls off." My father ranted

"Honey, there's no need for Violence" My mother added

Mother was a beautiful woman with dark brown hair and fair skin.
She's a very kind woman that every man wants to be with, I never understood why she still is with my father.

"Oh come on Elyana." My father spoke

I looked at my sister who was paying no attention to their conversation whatsoever.

I watched as my father whispered something into my mother's ear.

"Oh Arthur." My mother spoke as she pecked him and sat herself back down.

We sat in silence for about a minute before we heard horse's footsteps coming towards us.

"That must be them." My father commented as he instructed us to sit up straight and not to stare at any of the men.

We watched as the men flooded in and the Lord Commander came towards us

"Arthur, you old man" The Lord Commander joked

My Father laughed and patted The Lord on the shoulder.

The Lord went back and stood at the front.

"Welcome men of the Night's Watch to our Village." My father spoke as he stood himself up

"Our village has similar rules to any other, except you're not allowed to speak to my daughters unless I or them allow you too." he continued

Bethally was being so Oblivious to father's rules to not stare at the men, Instead she was flirting with them from afar.

My father continued to Blabber on about something, I didn't really understand him though.

And finally father got round to introducing us.

"This is my second youngest; Bethally" He spoke as my sister got up a curtsied

"And this is my youngest; Carling" He said as he held my hand as I curtsied

My father was always very protective of me as I'm his youngest and the most like my mother.

After he introduced us, everyone moved to the dining room to eat.

I watched as men struggled to find where they were suppose to sit.

I was one of the first to sit down as I helped father set the dining tables and put the names in random places so it was all mixed up.

I watched as men started to find their seats and sat themselves down.

 A chubby man sat right in front of me.

I watched as my father stood up and spoke

"Let's feast!" he yelled

Everyone started to dig into their meals, I tried to hold in my curiosity about the man sitting right in front of me until I broke

"Why would a man of such stature be in the Night's Watch?" I asked trying not to offend the man

The man froze as he didn't know what to do

"You can speak." I said.

"Oh, well... I kind of had too." the man spoke

"I'm Carling" I said giving him a smile

"I know, I'm Sam"

"Do you have any friends in the Night Watch?" I asked Sam

"Yeah, a few," Sam spoke

"Can you point them out?"

Sam then started to point at different men.

"What about a best friend?" I blurted

"My best friend? His name is Jon." He said

"Jon? Which Jon?" I added

"Jon, Jon Snow." Sam spoke

"Is he new?"

"Kind of."

About an hour later the dining room was empty of men and full of maids cleaning up the room and doing the dishes.

That's when I decided to go to bed.
