Winterfell, that's where my family is heading. I've been to Winterfell but I can't seem to remember anything and now my dad expects me to marry Robb Stark and live there for the rest of my life. My mother tried everything in her power to convince my dad to let me stay but nothing worked. But that is not the only reason we're traveling so far away from home, my father is not only going to ask Ned if he will agree to me marrying his oldest son and also his daughter marrying my little brother but he is going to ask him to be his hand. I wish I could have stayed in Kingslanding with my mother and uncle Jaime instead of going all this way for something we don't even know if they will agree too.

"My love, stop thinking and talk to me" my mother says suddenly holding my hand

"Mother, I don't want to marry someone who I can't remember meeting" I say on the verge of crying

"I know, but there's nothing we can do about it now. I have tried everything I can possibly do, now we can only hope that Ned refuses the offer" my mother says wiping away my tears

"If Alyssa marries Robb, does that mean we never get to see her again?" My little sister, Myrcella asks

"No. It doesn't matter who I marry and how far away I most go, I will always find time to visit my family" I say making her smile, we stop talking for a while until Tommen nearly shouts at the sight of Winterfell

"Mother! Alyssa! Myrcella! Look! We're here" he says happily pointing at what I believe is Winterfell

"Is it too late to jump out of the carriage and run away" I ask my mother

"Calm down my love, I will let nothing bad happen to you. I promise" she says kissing my forehead. This is it, in a few minutes I will meet the person I'm possibly going to spend the rest of my life with.

"Now, Alyssa, listen to me. This is important. I want you to smile" my mother says

"But I don't feel like smiling." I say

"Well, it doesn't matter how you feel inside, you know? It's what shows up on the surface that counts. That's what my mother taught me. Take all your bad feelings and push them down, all the way down, past your knees until you're almost walking on them. And then, you'll fit in, and you'll be invited to parties, and man will like you, and happiness will follow." My mother then says, I decide just to nod and continue looking out the window
(Yeah I know I stole that from the Simpson's, but I was just too good)

After a while the carriage rides into Winterfell and stops in front of the Stark family, my mother takes my hand and gives me reassuring look before the door to the carriage opens. My mother and I are the first to walk out, slowly followed my my two youngest siblings. I see my father already talking to his old friend Ned, as I'm looking at him I suddenly feel something staring at me intensely. I turn to look the way I assume the person is staring at me and lock eyes with a handsome young man who looks to be my age. Could that be Robb? If so, he is a lot more handsome then my father said, maybe marrying him won't be so bad.

Arthur's note:
Sorry it's so short, I promise the other chapters will be a lot longer.
