The North's Winter Rose <Undergoing Rewrites!>

Dragon Pit

Pod was running attempting to keep up with Brienne. He didn't want to be left here in the cold North. He didn't know how the Northerners lived through this. Also the fact that it would only get worse from here was horrible.

He was out of breath by the time he got to Lady Arabelle and Brienne. "Ser Podrick, would like some water?" Arabelle chuckled

Pod just shook his head, walking over to his horse. Arabelle turned her head back around to Brienne. "Well, shall we get going?" she asked

"Of course my lady."

-

Arabelle stared at the place that was once a prison too her. The place where her father was killed and where she killed the King of the Seven Kingdoms.

"Are you alright my lady?" A voice asked

Arabelle turned her head to see Garlan next to her. "Honestly I'm okay. Just never thought I would come back here again."

Garlan put his hand on her shoulder. "We all think we won't do something but we always end up doing it."

Arabelle couldn't reply since two men and guards rode up too them.

"Welcome to Kings Landing! I assume all of you are just early and the Targaryen woman is on her way." The man Arabelle recognized as Ser Bronn of Blackwater said

"Yes we are very early apparently. Our Queen shall be here soon. We thank you for meeting with us." Arabelle spoke up

The second man also known by everyone as the Kingslayer eyed her. "Are you from Westeros?"

Arabelle smirked at the Lannister, "Born and raised until age 19 when I fled to Qutos after my mother and brother's death. It's been awhile Ser Jamie."

It took Jamie a moment for him to register who she was. "Arabella fucking Stark."

"Here in the flesh."

It was bronn who spoke for Jamie next, "You died at the Twins."

Arabelle chuckled riding forward, "Apparently not. Now I think it is time I see good old Cersei once again."

-

"Come with me Lady Stark, I'll lead you too my sister." jamie said as they walked through the gates

"Sansa is Lady of Winterfell. I'm just Lady Arabelle." She corrected

Jamie let out a small laugh. "I see you're finally accepting these titles."

"For now,"

-

"Who is this woman?" Cersei questioned her brother

"Lady Arabelle Stark of Winterfell," jamie started, "she and some of her calvery arrived early along with Ser Garlan Tyrell."

Cersei's face went blank when she heard Arabelle's name. "Arabelle?" She asked looking up facing the stark girl, "the Freys could not carry out killing you I see."

"They are the Freys after all."

"Are you here to face to your brothers mistakes and bend the knee to the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms or will you make the same mistakes that your father and brother made."

"I'm not like my brother or my father. I've learn from my brother. I've learned from mother. I've learned from my Father. I've learned for your damn family. I've also learned from all their mistakes. I know when I make a threat, I'm going to leave a mark." Arabelle threatened, "I know you want to kill me, my family, Daenerys Targaryen, that whole army out there, all three of her dragons but you won't. You can't. Your family kills one enemy but creates two more. The North Remembers Cersei. So does Daenerys. So does every person that your family has wronged."

Cersei offered the girl a smile. "You cannot threaten me, Arabelle. Yes you were correct I can't kill you or else it is just suicide for me. Why don't we talk about other things while we wait. How about you tell me how you survived and is command of an army from essos?"

"How did a woman like you end up on the Iron Throne?" Arabelle shot back, "I may have not spent much time with you but I have learned. Like I said from my family and yours. I better get back to my people. I'll see you once the others arrive."

Arabelle stood up and walked out with Jamie following from behind. Once jamie opened the door. Arabelle came face to face with Garlan who was waiting outside the whole time.

"Well you're alive that's one thing." Garlan joked

"Are they here yet?"

"Your men just informed me they saw ships coming in from the north."

Arabelle let out a breath she was holding in. "Good,"

"Ser Bronn should be over there. I'll have him escort you two back to your people while I go check on my men." Jamie explained

"Yes thank you Ser Jamie." Garlan thanked leading arabelle over too Bronn.

-

Arabelle sighed walking over to Jon as he got off the ship. She immediately pulled her older sibling into a hug. "You're okay,"

"I am Arabelle just a little frostbite that is all."

Arabelle hit him on the shoulder. "A little?" She almost yelled, "that is not what I was told!"

"Well I'm here, aren't I?"

Arabelle sighed turning around walking with the others towards the dragonpit.

"Arya and Bran," jon started, "I'm going to guess they've changed?"

"Arya is an assassin and Bran sees things so yes they've changed."

Jon was left shocked and confused at his sister's words.

"We're here," garlan whispered

Arabelle looked up to see the dragonpit she has heard so much about, when she was younger. "Then lets get this over with."

-

Arabelle didn't pay much attention during the parly only during key events such as. Jon showing her the white. Daenerys arriving on her dragon. Cersei asking Jon to bend the knee to her and Cersei then saying no but coming back after Tyrion talked to her. "We will help, call for our banners. All of them."

Arabelle was skeptical of her words. In the end decided to focus on other things than Cersei.

-

"I guess I'll see you at Winterfell." Jon told his sister

"You will, as long as you don't get frostbite on the way there." Arabelle joked

"You'll never let go of that will you?"

"No I won't." Arabelle told Jon with a serious look.

Jon shook his head walking onto the boat.

-

Arabelle was riding in peace thinking about things to come when Garlan rode up next to her. "Hello Garlan," arabelle started

"Hello to you also Arabelle," garlan greeted back, "I was thinking. Once this is all over and if we all live. Highgarden will need men and a Lady of Highgarden."

"and you want that to be me since I am technically still married to Loras. Then I have the men."

Garlan shook his head, "no we can have that annulled. I'm saying Willas will need a Lady and you let Sansa be Lady of Winterfell. So have you ever thought about what you'll do after all of this?"

"No I guess I just thought I'll go back to Winterfell and be with my family."

"Just think about it okay? I saw how you and Willas acted around each other in Winterfell. He would be good for you in my opinion." Garlan told her turning his horse around to where he was before and Arabelle was left alone with her thoughts once again.

Well that's all until season 8.... why does it have to be so long until that season?! I also wanted to thank you all from reading my book. It means a lot and words cannot describe how thankful I am. So thank you. Also what do you think about Garlan asking Arabelle to marry Willas? Let me know in the comments!
