I sat down with Sansa as she began to alter the dress she had began making for me. A month had gone by, so quickly an yet so slowly at the same time. Sansa was prodding me with needles, and sticking them all over.
"Are you nearly done?" I groaned loudly, she could clearly see my annoyance.
"Not yet violet!" She said, continuing to place needles all of the dress. The Starks were holding a ball tonight, in honour of Robb and I. The wedding is 3 months away but the preparations have gone underway. Sansa was so excited to hear that there was going to be a ball, she begged for me to let her to make me a special dress to wear. She argued that Arya had never let make any dresses and that she finally had a sister to do this with. I have to admit, it was nice to have a sister around.
"Have you got a dress to wear?" I looked down at her.
"I've had one prepared for months now!" She giggled, placing the last needle in the hem of the dress. "All done!" She sighs, taking a step back to admire her hard work. I turn to look in the mirror, the dress was beautiful. It had blue and purple flower detailing around the chest, it plunged down, but not far enough to over expose anything. The flowers flowed down onto the waist of the dress, ending with a teal coloured fabric.
"Oh sansa! I love it!" I exclaimed loudly, hoping down from the stool and embracing her into a hug.
"Careful! It still has needles in it!" She laughed, wrapping her arms around my torso. "I'll need to take it back to my chambers, so I can take the needles out." She said, letting go of me. I gave her a small kiss on the cheek and slipped the dress down my body, and got changed into a long sleeved grey dress.
I handed the dress to Sansa and watched her head out the door, Lady following closely behind her. I took a deep breath and laid back down on my bed, pulling my covers over my body, drifting off to sleep.

I awoke to a loud knock on my door, "Violet! It's Sansa!"
"And me!" I heard Arya aswell.
"Come in." I called out, still half asleep. The girls opened the door to my room, all dressed up in their gowns.
"What are you doing Violet? The ball starts soon!" Sansa ran over to me, putting the dress on the end of the bed. Arya grabbed my hand and tried to drag me from the bed.
"Okay, okay I'm up!" I giggled, rubbing my eyes.
"Sit down, I'm going to need to fix your hair!" Sansa said, pushing me down onto the chair. She fiddled with my hair, curling it softly down my back, pinning the front parts of my hair.
"You look so beautiful!" Arya said, grabbing onto my hand.
I brought her hand to my lips, giving it a light kiss, "Thankyou!"
"Now the dress!" Sansa said putting down the brush. "Come on Violet, we don't have all night!" She handing the dress to me. I slipped the dress I currently had on over my head and stepped in the beautiful dress Sansa made. I looked at myself in the mirror, a small smile forming on my face. The dress reminded me of home, and that's exactly what I needed right now.
"I love it!" Embracing Sansa in a hug. "Get in here Arya." I said, pulling Arya into the hug, even though she was groaning, I still felt her arm wrap around my frame.
"Okay! We need to go." Sansa squealed, letting go of both Arya and me. We all left me chambers and headed towards the dining hall. You could hear the music and cheering from outside the courtyard. We opened the heavy wooden doors and the warm air hit my face and travelled down my spine. "This is so beautiful!" Sansa clapped happily beside me, I looked down at her and smiled. It was good to see her so happy, but I couldn't say the same for Arya. She grumpily walked off in the direction of the banquet table.
"Hello, my Lady." I heard from beside me and felt someones arm slip around my waist. I turned beside me to be faced with Robb. "Lovely night isn't it?"
"Indeed it is." I nodded my head in agreement.
"You look as beautiful as ever tonight." He said softly beside me, kissing my cheeks which were not bright pink.
"Thankyou Robb." I giggled. Sansa cleared her throat beside me. "Oh, and this wouldn't be possible without the help from you're wonderful sister." I said, placing a kiss on her cheek. She smiled and then disappeared into the crowd.
"She is very talented." He said, admiring the beautiful gown that hugged my body ever so kindly. "Shall we?" He extended his arm to me with a smile and I happily took it. He spun me closer to him earning a laugh from me.
"Careful with me Robb."
"I don't plan on being careful my lady." He whispered in my ear, pulling my body closer to his, pressing against me. My began to heat up and I think Robb noticed, earning a smirk from him.
"Robb! Violet! I'm glad to see you both growing closer!" Ned said, coming closer to us, patting Robb on the back. "Violet."
"Yes my Lord."
He placed his hands on my shoulders and looked down at me. My eyes glanced to Robb's and he gave me a reassuring look. "You are uniting our house's and making your house proud." He smiled down at me, I smiled back. "A hand for Lady Violet!" His voiced boomed throughout the great hall. A cheer erupted and I bowed in-front of Ned. Ned walked back over to the banquet table as Lady Catelyn approached me, embracing me in a hug.
"Thankyou, Violet." She whispered in my ear, placing her hand on the back of my head. She leaned out and placed a kiss on my head, giving me an understanding look. I sighed and nodded my head as she walked back towards her husband.
The night went on well into the night as I drank more my vision began to blur and my legs would fumble as I walked. Robb was else where, talking with Ned and other noble men as I sat alone at my table. "Lady Violet?" I heard from next to me. I looked up to see Theon Greyjoy standing beside me. "Robb has sent me to escort you back to your chambers."
"A-and why can't Robb do that himself?" I questioned, fumbling with my words.
"Because he is busy, discussing business with his family." He smirked, offering me his arm. I reached up and linked my arm through his. He pulled me up to his sides. We walked out of the great hall, the cool air travelling down my spine as we walked through the bitter air. My feet began to trip over one another as we walked. "Careful now Violet." Theon said, slipping his arm around my waist, holding me up.
"We are here!" I squealed, pushing open the door. "Thank you for escorting me Theon." I said, letting go of his arm. But his grip remain on my waist, beginning to get tighter. I looked down at his hand and then back at him. "W-what are you doing?" I said softly as I walked back against the wall, Theon moving closer.
"You aren't Robb's yet." He smirked, running his hand over my shoulder, tugging at my dress. I raised my hand and slapped him right in the face. His hand immediately cupping it as he winced in pain. "You little w-" Just as he was about to strike me Jon landed a punch to the side of his face.
"Get the fuck out." Jon harshly said. Grabbing Theon by the arm and throwing him out of my room. Jon shut the door and quickly turned to face me. "Are you okay?" He said, placing a hand on my cheek, wiping away a tear that had manage to fall without me realising. I looked up at him, his eyes filing with concern.
"I'm fine Jon, don't worry." I said, placing my hand on top of his.
"How much wine did you have?"
"Alot of good wine." I giggled. I walked over to my bed and crawled onto it, facing downwards. "My dress, kind sir!"
Jon let out a chuckle, "Anything for you my Lady." He walked over towards me and began to undo my dress. Letting his fingers linger for a few seconds more than they should have. Slipping my arms out of my dress and down my waist. His fingers tracing my bare skin, sending bumps all over my skin. He let out a small breath as he slipped it all the way off and I turned to face him, blurry and exposed. His breathing hitched in his throat as his eyes scanned over my naked body. "I think it's time for bed Violet."
"Never!" I yelled, trying to get up from the bed. My head began to spin as I stood up. Jon rushed to my side and picked me up, like a babe. One arm around my back and the other under my legs. My head fell to his chest and my eyes slowly closed. He placed me in the bed, pulling the fur pelts up over my body.
"Goodnight Violet." He whispered softly, pressing a kiss to my lips. The last thing I heard was the door closing quietly, before I drifted into a deep sleep.
