We rode for at least two days before reaching Castle Black, each day I cried about my daughter and the situation I had landed in, I wanted to walk away from it all. In this game there was no winning, you die or you suffer trying. I held Jon as closely as I could, I knew he felt my pain. I wanted some sort of revenge but it all landed on one house, the Lannisters.

"Kim. "Jon's voice pulled my from my thoughts and I wiped tears from my eyes as I looked up.

I stared at the three hundred mile long wall as the horse stopped at the gate of castle black. "A new recruit! And a woman?" A man called up from atop as the gate was lifted.

We hopped down from the horse and my legs felt like jello as I held the horse's reins walking inside with Jon on the opposite side of the horse.

A man stepped up to us. "A new recruit. "The man looked Jon over with a smirk.

Then all attention was turned to me. "A recruit and a whore?" The man stepped up to me.

"She's not a whore!" Jon jumped to my defense before a word came from my mouth. I was grateful for Jon's defense but they couldn't know about Jon and I.

"Protecting your bitch then?" Another man questioned. My face heated up and before Jon could say a word I yelled.

"Show some respect you vile men!" I demanded and sneered. "Where were you arses raised? In a shithouse?"

Some men back up and questioned my authority while others laughed and pointed at the men to insult me.

"So what are you here for, woman?" The man to first talk to us spoke.

"I want to join you, men of the nights watch. "I said firmly and crossed my arms.

"A woman?" Many of the men laughed at me. "Join the nights watch?"

"I can swing a sword just as any other man. "I narrowed my eyes.

"Let's see it then eh?" The man tossed me a sword.

The sword had a red handle and the blade was dulled probably for training purposes. I caught the sword lightly and turned it in my hands examining the blade. "It's not me showing you until I have someone to swing it at then. "

Jon looked at me uneasily as the man spoke. "Then we'll take you north of the wall, we have to execute some deserters. "

"I shall show you I'm not a mere woman I can be as strong as a man. "I turned my nose up and the men threw a sort a coat at me.

"It's cold up there, put this on. "One told me as the others began to walk away.

The coat had a sort of wool around the neck and the rest a black leather. Jon revived the same coat and we both slipped them on. "They are friendly arnt they. "I mocked the men and Jon came up to me.

"They can't know. "Jon said and he spoke hushly to me.

"Can't know what?" I asked looking around.

"About us, we must tell them I am your brother. "Jon bit his lip. "We're both bastards here. "

I listened to Jon his eyes seemed to cast a spell on mine.
