The Forbidden Loves

Nya

Nya drops a kiss on Bran's forehead. "You'll get well soon." She murmurs to the sleeping Stark boy. She turns to Lady Catelyn. "My lady." She curtsies breifly. 

"Safe travels Nya." Catelyn says softly. Nya dips her head to Lady Catelyn and pauses for a moment. She goes in front of the woman who was more like her mother than the one who died trying to give birth to one of her siblings. She reaches out and hugs Catelyn Stark. Catelyn stiffens, then relaxes and returns Nya's hug.

Nya leaves the room just as Jon Snow reaches the door. "Jon." She says softly. "Nya." he murmurs. She knew that he'd come to see Bran before he left. Jon would not be coming back, ever maybe. He would become one of the sworn brothers of the Night's Watch. And Nya was as well, in sercret. No one would know.......hopefully.

Nya walks through the corridors of Winterfell until she reaches the courtyard where everone else is. Robb and Narcissa are there as well as Nyla. Nyla would be going to King's Landing with them. Well, with the others at least. Nya hoped she could slip away easily, bounding her hair up tightly and changing her clothes so that no one would notice. She'd only told Nissa of her plan to go with Jon Snow unnoticed. She hoped her plan did not fail.

Nissa and Robb come up to Nya. "Robb, Nissa." She greets them softly. Nya wraps her arms around Robb, hugging him tightly. "Make sure Nissa doesn't create as much trouble without me. That goes for you too." She tells Robb. He pulls back and smiles at her. "Of course." He says , though his blue eys are twinkling. "Brother." Nya swats his arm and turns to her twin sister. "Nissa." she murmurs and wraps her arms tightly around her sister, hugging her close. "I'll miss you." Nissa whispers in her ear. "You know I don't approve of what you're going to do."  "I know." Nya replies. "I'll miss you too." "And Nyla." Nissa adds. "Yes." 

The two sisters break apart and their older sister comes up. Nyla's hair is swept up in a complicated braided twist. A single lock of hair hangs down just on the side of her left eye. She hugs Nissa tightly and they whisper things to each other then Nyla turns to Nya. Nya had mentioned her plan briefly to her eldest sister and Nyla hadn't approved of it either. But Nyla wasn't going to hold her back from staying with Jon. Nyla only said so because she felt the same way about someone she wouldn't mention. All Nyla had said was that she may never return to Winterfell and she was very sad about that.

The group in the courtyard had gotten bigger and Jon Snow joined them. Him and Robb hugged tightly, not letting go and telling each other how much they'd miss each other. Nya smiled softly to herself and held her tears at bay. She knew her eyes were probably glistening, but other than that, everything was fine. No tears were seen.

They started off and Nya rode her horse alongside Jon's and Lord Eddard's brother Benjen Stark. Actually she rode between them. "So my lady, I hear you're coming along to go to King's Landing." Benjen Stark starts a conversation with her. 

"You are not wrong my lord." She smiles at him through the lie. "I also hear," Benjen lowers his voice and leans towards her, casting a look at Jon who is looking at them curiously. "That you've taken a fancy to Jon." Nya looks ahead, her gaze cool. "Yes." She admits. "I am very sorry then." Benjen says. Nya nods. "Of course." 

"Do you know why he chose The Night's Watch?" Benjen Stark asked Nya. 

She gazes ahead, her gold eyes unreadable. "So that he can have some semblance of honour and feel wanted. So that he doesn't have to see Lady Catelyn everyday and feel unwanted. So he never has to see another dirty look from Lady Catelyn. So that he doesn't feel like a mistake." Nya answers in soft monotone.

She feels a hand on hers and she looks over at Jon immediately. His hand was warm on hers and he looked into her eyes. "I'm glad you understand." He says, his grey eyes full of sadness as he tries to be playful.

Nya smiles softly, her own eyes filling with tears. "You won't forget me." She states, turning away to hide the tears from him. Guilt gnawed at her conscience breifly for not telling him her plan. He'd know eventually though. She would be the quietest one there, like a ghost, he'd know eventually. He was smart.

"Nya?" Jon asks.

"Hm?"

"Promise me one thing." Nya looks at him and raises an eyebrow questioningly.

"Be safe." Jon says.

Nya resists the urge to bite her lip because that would signal to Jon she was hiding something. "Of course." She says. "But you must as well." She watches him.

Jon bites his lip. "Of course." he murmurs.

They stop somewhere to part ways, The rest of the Starks and people going to King's Landing to eat and rest whilst the people for the Wall head off. Nya hides herself and quickly changes, Nyla showing up to help her. They hug again. ¨I'll miss you Nya. You take care.¨ Nyla whispers to her younger sister.

¨You too Nyla.¨ Nyla kisses her sister on both cheeks and then takes her horse and rides off after the Brothers of the Night Watch.

She doesn't look back.
