Song: Tove Lo - Thousand Miles.

Imagine; you deal with the news about your husband getting killed in the "red wedding". You decide to get revenge.

•

You try to be as quiet and careful as possible in a castle like this. Everyone has gone to sleep or are keeping watch.

Luckily for you, everyone wants revenge for what Walder Frey has done a couple years back, they're more than ready to let you go to get that revenge.

Everyone except Sansa. She would hate to see you go for something you blame yourself for.

'Y/n...'

You swear under your breath when you hear her voice, of course she has to catch you. You turn around, determination written all over you. 

'I know what you are going to say...' you sigh defeated. 'I know you will just...try to prevent me from going...'

'No, I won't stop you anymore... Walder Frey has gone unpunished long enough... he needs to know that the North remembers...House Frey needs to know...the North remembers...and what better way to that by sending the queen ?'

'I haven't heard anyone say that in a long time... and I don't think it's justified either...I am not queen anymore...'

'Yes you are...' she takes your hands in hers and smiles at you, it's a miracle she can still smile like that after everything that happened to her.

Thank the gods we don't look like what we've been through.

'You were always his queen, you were always our queen... you are a Stark, and a great one at that... without you we wouldn't have defeated Ramsey, without you we wouldn't be where we are today... so if you think this is a wise decision then I will let you go...but only on one condition...'

'What's that?' You ask with a smile tugging at the corner of your mouth.

'You come back to rule...you need to take his place and-'

'Sansa no!, I could never take his place, you know that...' you harshly whisper.

'Y/n... you do know why he made you stay don't you?' She asks, when you don't reply she continues. 'He made you stay because he knew that if he wouldn't go we would be at war with house Frey, and if he would take you with him, you would both die...'

'Sansa-'

'He made sure that you would be here to lead us...through the winter...and I know you miss him.. we all do but you have to come back..'

'Okay....okay I will... I promise...but I need you to do something for me while I'm gone...'

'Anything...'

'keep this place standing.. for when I return of course...'

She chuckles before she nods at you, wrapping her arms around you like she always does. She knows how much you blame yourself for his death, she can see the pain with the smallest mention of his name. But when she pulls back she notices your attire, she can;t help but smile and even tear up a bit.

'I didn't know if i should...' your voice turns into a whisper again.

'it looks good on you... he would've wanted you to wear it..' she stares at her late brothers cloak.

She can't help but run her fingers over it. Over the soft fur that hasn't seen the daylight in three years. The small details of the two wolves connecting, to keep it from sliding off your smaller frame.

'All Hail the Queen of the North..' she whispers like it's a secret yet to be revealed to the world, and in a way, it is.

And that's how you leave, off to kill the man who took away your family, your hope at a peaceful life, clearly forgetting that the North always remembers.

•••

'My Love....' Robb courtesies as he pulls you against him.

'My king this is scandalous!' You fake gasp making him chuckle. 'Sneaking around with a married woman..'

He pulls you even tighter against him, your giggling muffled by his fur cloak. He chuckles at you.

'Oh but it is a gorgeous woman...absolutely captivating...kind and sweet, also a true warrior by heart...'

'Oh really?' You lay your chin against his armour to look up at his face, a broad smile on your lips.

'Indeed...really...' his voice gets low, soft.

Snowflakes fall around you, it certainly makes it more romantic, it's a bittersweet feeling because he will be leaving in a few days.

He leans down, capturing your lips with his. It may have been a sweet gesture but it inflicts so much pain. A tear slides down your cheek and he wipes it away.

'I love you...'

'I sure would hope so...'  you try to joke your way out of this, but it won't work because he can see right through you.

'Y/n...' he warns you and you sigh.

'Robb...' you warn him in return.

'I will be back... if it is a real then I will make sure I will come back to you, unharmed...'

'You are getting quite cocky...I need you to promise...'

'I..' he kisses you. 'Promise..' he kisses you again. 'You...' he gives you a last kiss before taking your hands in his.

'Did you do something with your hair?' He changes the subject and you roll your eyes at him with a playful smirk.

'Do not change the subject!'

'Did my sister braid it?' He keeps on commenting small things as he examines your hair.

'Robb!' He squeal. 'You're going to ruin it!, Sansa worked so hard on it!'

•••

'The last thing you will ever see, is a Stark, staring down at you.... as you die...a very.. painful...death...'

'Who are you, girl?!'

'My name...is Y/n Stark...The Wife of Robb Stark...the man you had murdered in cold blood... ' you lean forward.

The blade you're using is stinging Walder Frey's skin, trying to force its way in, but not just yet.

'You..took him from me... and forgot one important thing... the North always remembers!, and I will even add something new to that saying.... the north always remembers, and doesn't let anything go unpunished!' You shove the blade right in.

You watch the blood pour from his neck as he falls back into his chair. The revenge has finally been served.

The door on the side opens, you only look up, if this is where you die than so be it. At least you've had your revenge.

But to your surprise you see a girl walk in, a girl you haven't seen in years, you thought she died. You had mourned her in the past just like you mourned Ned, Catelyn, Robb and Jon, before he got revived again.

'Arya?' You ask confused as she sets down the pie she was holding in her hands.

'Y/n?' She replies equally confused.

She slowly looks over at Walder Frey, bleeding out in his chair, pale, with a shocked look on his face.

She dives for you, wrapping her arms around your torso, she lays her hand against your leather clad chest. Your hand moves up to rest on her head just as you plant a kiss on top of it. You wrap your free arm around her as well.

'I've missed you...little mouse...even though I think I can't call you little anymore...you've grown...' you chuckle.

'I've missed you too...' she replies, her voice muffled by your chest. 'You finally got your revenge..' she looks up and you nod.

'Like I promised...' you softly say as she lets go.

'You beat me to it...'

'I am not done yet, there are more lords and other wealthy folk that need to pay...'

'I already took care of that...you will see... ' Arya looks over at the barrels of wine and beer, she holds up a small bottle and you connect the dots.

'What about his sons?'

'Right here...' Arya points at the pie, it isn't until you look closer that you see pieces of human in there.

•••

'He would've been very proud of you Arya...just like I am..' you smile.

You're riding home again, almost there even, almost back to your home and Arya's.

'He always will be more proud of you though...look at you... I've heard stories about what happened with you and Winterfell but... you led them to victory... you're considered Queen of the North by its own people... even wearing his cloak...'

You smile as you look down. When you look up again you see the gates being opened, people gather on the courtyard, Wildlings, Nights Watch, and Northen folk.

'The Queen of the North has returned!'

'I told you...' Arya smiles and you chuckle.

It gets silent, it's clear that the people want to know about the situation. All eyes are on you, you swallow down the nerves to speak up.

'THE RED WEDDING HAS BEEN AVENGED!, WALDER FREY AND HIS SONS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO JUSTICE!, HOUSE FREY, AS HOUSE BOLTON, ARE EXTINCT!. THEY, AS DO OUR OTHER ENEMIES, FORGET ONE THING ABOUT THE NORTH!, IT ALWAYS REMEMBERS!' You yell and cheers eerily from the men and women.

As you smile and look around the crowd, you spot a familiar face, one that shouldn't be there. Robb's face.

He's smiling at you with this twinkle in his eyes, he gives you a nod before he vanishes in the crowd again.

You will go down in history, not only as a Stark, but as a queen of the people.

He who says that revenge gets you nowhere, clearly has never had to take revenge on anyone. Because revenge, is the best medicine of them all.
