The next day I went into the court yard and practiced fighting with Robb. He was miserable for some reason.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked whilst picking up my sword.
"Jon, they haven't told you have they"
"Haven't told me what"
"All people going to the wall are to leave today with Uncle Benjen"
"Today!" I shouted. I couldn't leave now. Not yet, not after everything.

I dropped the sword and ran through the castle gates. I could see Benjen just outside them with his horse.
"Jon" He smiled. "Just the person I've been looking for, you're to leave today now."
"I'm sorry Uncle Benjen, I can't go, not today"
"Erm" He put his hand to his forehead and sighed.
"Fine. I'll come back for you a week tomorrow." I nodded and smiled and headed back into Winterfell.
