This chapter includes Arya but this is the only time you'll see here for a long time.

Walder stood up with a cup in his hand. Everybody takes a seat except Robb. Roose returns to the hall and sits next to Catelyn. "I feel I've been remiss in my duties." Walder addressed

Catelyn and Arabelle looked scared. Roose slowly turned his head to look at Catelyn. He's smiling as he looks down at his arm, inviting Catelyn to take a look.

"I've given you meat and wine and music but I haven't shown you the hospitality you deserve. My king has married and I owe my new queen a wedding gift." He gibed

Catelyn pulls back Roose's sleeve, she sees that he's wearing chainmail. She starts gasping as Roose stares at her. She suddenly gets up from her seat and slaps Roose across the face, prompting him to run to the other side of the hall. Arabelle noticed the armour.

"Robb!" Arabelle screamed

Lothar pulls a knife out of his sleeve and repeatedly stabs Talisa in the stomach from behind. She starts screaming as Robb looks on in horror. As Robb starts to approach her, the band now have crossbows and they shoot arrows at Robb, hitting him. The rest of the Frey men in the hall start slaughtering the Stark men. Robb is repeatedly shot with arrows and falls to the ground. Talisa falls to the ground in agony. Catelyn in shock over Robb, gets hit in the shoulder by an arrow, making her fall down. As the massacre continues, Walder smiles and sips from his cup.

Arya snuck into The Twins. She hides behind a barrel and watches some Stark men eating with Frey men in front of the kennel that Grey Wind and Autumn is in.

A Stark soldier "You ready to head home to Winterfell, eh?" Men started laughing

Arya grins

"Feast over yet, is it?" A Stark soldier questioned

A Frey man the n told them, "Aye, it's over!" Then slit the Stark soldiers throat (A/N man the Red Wedding really has something with slitting throats)

The Frey men kill the Stark men. They flip over the table and march off as Arya hides in the shadows of the barrels. Arya can hear Grey Wind and Autumn whimpering as they try to break out of the locked kennel. She goes behind the flipped over table and sees Grey Wind jumping up and down. Suddenly, Frey men appear with crossbows but before they can kill Grey Wind and Autumn two men come and slit their necks Arya is horrified. She watches as those men take their last breath and die. She then notices more Frey men emerging from a doorway. She starts walking towards the doorway until The Hound puts his hand on her shoulder and turns her around

"It's too late." The Hound told her

The Hound hits Arya on the back of the head, knocking her out. He carries her over his shoulder and starts exiting The Twins.

Catelyn is crawling underneath the table at the hall with the arrow still lodged in her shoulder. While Arabelle just stands there being held back by Frey soldiers. Catelyn notices Joyeuse hiding underneath the main table. Robb gazes at Talisa laying on the ground with her hand on her bloodied stomach. He starts crawling towards her. Walder notices and signals for everybody to stop

"The King in the North arises, heh heh." Walder joked as Robb crawled towards Talisa

Robb places one hand on Talisa's stomach and lifts her head up with his other hand. She has already died. Catelyn grabs a dagger and emerges from under the table. She grabs Joyeuse by the hair and drags her out from under the main table. Catelyn presses the dagger against Joyeuse's throat as Walder looks on. The archers fix their sights on Catelyn. Arabelle pleads for them to not but no one listens.

"Lord Walder! Lord Walder, enough! Let it end! Please! They're my children! My first son and daughter! Let them go and I swear that we will forget this! I swear it by the Old Gods and New! We will take no vengeance." Catelyn pleaded as Robb cradled Talisa on the floor

Walder signals for the guards to let go of Arabelle.

Walder the stated angrily, "You already swore me one oath right here in my castle. You swore by all the Gods, your son would marry my daughter!"

Robb lays Talisa's head on the ground

"Take me for a hostage but let Robb and Arabelle go! Robb, Arabelle get up! Get up and walk out! Please! Please!" Catelyn begged for her children

"And why I would let them do that?" Walder argued

Catelyn straightens up and presses the dagger harder against Joyeuse's neck

"On my honor as a Tully, on my honor as a Stark, let him go or I will cut your wife's throat!" Catelyn stated strongly (A/N I fricken love this line)

Robb starts to stand up. Arabelle tries to walks towards Robb but can't

"I'll find another." Walder answered

Robb turns to Catelyn

"Mother," Robb whimpered out

Catelyn turns to Robb with tears in her eyes as Roose suddenly reappears in front of Robb. He faces Robb and grabs him by the shoulder

"The Lannisters send their regards." Roose smiled at Robb

Roose thrusts a dagger into Robb's heart. While still staring at Catelyn, Robb dies and collapses to the floor next to Talisa. Arabelle has no voice to do anything. Catelyn wails loudly while Walder takes a sip from his cup. She slits Joyeuse's throat with the dagger, killing her. Joyeuse falls to the ground with blood spraying from her neck and Catelyn drops the dagger. She looks on hopelessly, in a dreary daze. After a long pause, Black Walder finally emerges behind Catelyn and slits her throat, killing her. She falls to the floor with blood spraying from her neck

"NOO!" Arabelle finally screamed for her dead mother She looked up at Walder with an angry face. Wanting revenge but not doing anything because she knew she couldn't.

Walder only smiled at her as he said, "Take her to a cell! The Lannisters may want her for or we might use her for children." The guards came and hit her over the head and brought her down to one of the cells.
