Lyla's horse galloped to where Robb and she were supposed to remain while the men went on their hunt. Though with her disobedience, she unfortunately managed to lose Robb. She didn't know where he betrothed could have been. She knew she would remain calm and quiet in these woods as the hunting party needed silence to continue with their hunt. Though she felt very unnerved being alone without Robb besides her with his bow to make her more assure they were safe.

She started to call out for Robb. The forest was beginning to look much more different than before. She continued to call out for Robb, but all she heard in response was the sound of the leaves echoing through the trees. She stopped calling out and just listened to the so very unnerving sound of the wind wisp around her. Still she couldn't see anyone. She prayed to the seven that Robb would appear soon enough to calm her.

Suddenly her horse neighed, moving up as she tried to calm her horse, not understanding what could possibly be wrong with her horse. Though in the pit of her stomach she was starting to feel sick. She looked forward and heard loud footsteps approach her. She turned to see a seven door bear starting to approach her. She gasped in fear as her eyes widened and her pupils became smaller. She was horrified as it looked at the girl.

It clawed at her horse as it roared loudly, it caused her to fall off of her horse crashing onto the ground as the horse ran as far from the scene as it's legs would take it, abandoning her on the ground with a bear. She tried to get up but she was trembling so much she was almost paralyzed from any movement for a few seconds before it let out another horrible roar. Then she managed to find some strength and get onto her feet to run away.

She gasped for air violently a ran away. Unfortunately her clock was her undoing as it clawed at it that ripped off her and forced her down to the ground. As she fell painfully to the ground, her head bashing the ground, causing a cut at the top of her head and at her lip. She looked up and saw the bear looking down at her as it prepared to claw at her once again. She heard nothing but the sound of her own heart beat loudly as she closed her eyes tightly and prepared to be maimed.

Then she heard something being fired at the paw of the bear. It retreated back a bit to give attention to its paw. She turned around and saw Robb Stark was the one that fired at the bear. She smirked at the sight of her savior, only slightly because of the cut on her lip.

"Run to me!" Robb screamed, as he lined up for another shot. She barely managed to get off her feet before the bear was up again. She managed to outrun the injured bear over to Robb. "Grab my hand!" He ordered, she complied and took his hand, he pulled her up and she threw her legs onto the horse behind him.

"Faster!" She yelled for him to ride as the bears roars grew much louder as it began to charge, the arrow only made it much more aggressive.

He held up the bridles and the horse sped up, he turned around to his betrothal with blood on her lovely face. She seemed alright enough. But he couldn't begin to comprehend what would have happened had he not arrived when he did. "Are you alright, Lyla?"

She didn't take time to revel in the thought that he called her by her name, instead they had something of much more importance to focus on. A bear was currently chasing them. If it was to catch them, they would be dead for sure. "Yes."

She turned around and saw the bear was still following them. She had to do something. She grabbed the bow from Robb's hands. He looked back in disbelief at the princess as she prepared herself to shot at the bear.

"Do you know how to use a bow?" Robb asked, doubting the queen would have ever allowed her to use a bow in her life. She grabbed an arrow from his quiver as he calmed his neighing horse who seemed to understand the danger they were in.
