Chapter 1

Come on Bran, father is watching." Jon reassuringly put his hand on brans shoulder. Bran looked up at the houses balcony where his father lord stark and his mother lady stark stood smiling down at him. In the yard below stood bran with his two brothers Robb and Rickard and his Half brother Jon snow.
Bran took a deep breath and raised his bow again aiming it at the target in front of him.
"Relax your bow arm." Robb said quietly folding his arms over his chest.
Suddenly a arrow flew past them all and landed on the target perfectly. The men all turned to see who had shot the arrow, their youngest sister arya held the bow proudly and smiled demurely.
The men laughed and bran started to chase his sister away.
Jon and Robb started putting away the arrows under the close watch of lady stark.
"Where is our sister brother?" Robb asked
"How would I know, I have no clue what she gets up to these days." Jon replied, replacing the arrows
"Well she is your twin, you have always been close." Robb said looking at Jon.
"She's different now Robb, she's a woman now, what she does is up to her." Jon tried to sound carefree but his voice told a different story.
"Come on Jon, I know u worry for her we all do, father worries too, he just doesn't say so." Robb said
Jon replaced the last arrow and turned to him.
"If father paid her more attention then she would be fine." Jon said bitterly
"I know, but we all know what he's like. He isn't going to change now Jon." Robb said sadly
"I will always look after her Robb, I will make up for what our father didn't do." Jon said honourably
"I'm glad of it, I will always love her but the love you two share is different." Robb put his hand on Jon's shoulder and took off.

"My lady, come here and give us a kiss." Lana was in a bar with her friend Edith. Drunk customers shouted and leered at them but they just walked by and found a seat.
"I'm no lady sir and I'll have to owe you that kiss." Lana replied earning laughs from the crowd. Edith brought them over 2 bottles of ale, one bottle for each of them.
Lana looked exactly like her brother Jon. They both had clear, ivory skin and dark hair. Jon's hair was short and curly but Lana's was straight and hung halfway down her back. They both had large, soft brown eyes framed by thick long eyelashes. Many people said she was the most beautiful girl in all of the north but she didn't believe it herself.
Lana loved having a good time. She loved Edith and her other friends, men and beer. Lana loved her family also but she was an outsider, a bastard like her twin brother. She loved Jon more than anything but lately all he wanted to do was spoil her fun.
"Here Lana, ain't that your brother, i would recognise his handsome face anywhere." Edith whispered in Lana's ear, grabbing her arm.
Lana looked over at the door and true as day it was her brother looking straight at her. He was wearing his normal clothes but his sword was in its case around his waist. He made his way over to their table ignoring what the drunk customers were saying.
Edith sat up straighter beside her and flicked her hair, she always had a soft spot for Jon.
"Come for a drink Jon, there's plenty to go around." Edith asked in her loveliest voice.
Lana sniggered quietly.
"Hello Edith, I have come for my sister actually." He said calmly
"Oh come on Jon, have some fun with us, please." Lana said holding the bottle to him.
He sighed and grabbed her hand gently pulling her up from the seat.
"Lana the king and queen are nearly here, lady stark wants all of us home."
"Why, I'm sure she won't want us in the royals presence, it may offend them to see ned Starks bastards on their midst." Lana said cooly.
Jon looked at her and for a moment she felt his pain, they had always been outsiders, always.
"Edith I have to go." Lana said to her friend, Edith smiled and found a man to buy her a drink.
Jon led the way out and lana followed behind him. When they were outside she caught up with his pace.
"Are you drunk?" Jon asked after seeing her trip more than three times.
"No" lana replied defensively, folding her arms around her chest
"You better change before we meet with father, you smell like a brewery." He commented
"What is your problem, why do u see such a fault in me having fun?" Lana asked more sharply then she had intended
Jon looked at her and she saw sadness in his dark eyes.
"I'm worried about you, we all are."
"Who is we?" Lana asked
"Me, Robb and father." He said
Lana narrowed her eyes at him.
"There's nothing to be worried about." She sped up walking to avoid Jon's reply.
It made no difference.
"The drinking, the men, you have changed." He said
"It's called having fun, you should try it sometimes." She quipped
"Lana I love you more than anything but i want my sister back. The one that used to play swords with me for hours, who's laugh used to make everyone else laugh too, the sister who loved spending time with the little ones." He grabbed her hand suddenly as if pleading
Lana's head was spinning, had she changed that much? Lana shook her head and brushed her silky hair behind her ear.
"I just, I guess I have changed." Lana gathered her skirts and left.
