5 Years Later

I sat on a bench brushing my daughter, Leah's hair. "Mommy?" Leah asked me her 3 year old voice high pitched and adorable.

"Yes?" I answered her setting the brush down finished brushing her hair. I pulled my beautiful brown haired, blue eyed daughter into my lap.

Leah had her index finger hooked onto her lip as she looked up at me amazed. "Daddy says that you came from the Stark family, he said they were powerful until... Well, he told me not to ask you but I wanted to know. Is it true?"My eyes widened. Three year olds, the strangest words come from their mouths.

"Honey," I stopped nervous and the past flashed back to my mind, vivid memories of Jamie, Aiden, Loras, my family. "Mommy, she. I- I had to leave. We can't talk about this, okay? It hurts mommy's feelings. "

Leah looked down discouraged. "Okay, can I go play now?" I nodded in reply as Leah hopped from my lap and to play with the other townsfolk children.

I sighed looking around. Since the time I lost Jamie and Aiden I came to the town, I found love and married. I even had a daughter Leah. I never told anyone I was a Stark, except for my husband. Ashton. I told him everything and he swore never to tell, looks like Leah found out though. Ashton was a farmer, we grew crops and shipped them off to Kingslanding. That wretched place. I've been living in this town for 5 years, my hair got lighter as I worked more getting more sun. My husband was a brown haired, blue eyed man, our daughter took on his appearance.

Thinking in a daze I was pulled from my thoughts as someone scared me from behind grabbing my shoulders. "Shit!" I yelled turning around to see Ashton there smiling at me.

Without talking Ashton leaned closer to me our lips meeting in a quick kiss. "Language, don't want to teach Leah those words. "

"Fuck you Ashton," I teased leaning over the bench to peck him on the cheek.

Ashton walked around the bench and say down next to me putting an arm over my shoulder. He wiped his forehead from sweat, he had finished today's work. "Leah asked me about being a Stark, where did that come from?" I asked suspiciously eyeing Ashton.

"Oh uh, she asked where you and I were born so I guessed I'd tell her the truth. No need in lying, she'd find out anyways? Don't be mad, I'm sorry," Ashton explained hugging me closer to him.

I sighed. "I guess? Just I miss my son," Little pools of water began to form in my eyes. "I miss him so much," I put my face in Ashton's shoulder as he rubbed my shoulder comforting me.

Soon my sobbing ended and we watched Leah play until the sun went down. "Leah! Let's go!" Ashton called Leah as we entered our small 2 bedroom cottage.

Leah ran inside giggling and ran straight into her room. "Bed time!" I yelled smiling and chasing after Leah.

I enter her room to see Leah already throwing on her nightgown, it wasn't very pretty but it was affordable. I smiled and tucked Leah into bed singing her a song.

After aiming to Leah I dressed myself in my room and laid down in bed next to Ashton. "I hope we'll get another child soon," I murmmed as he wrapped his arm around me.

Ashton and I had been attempting at conceiving another child for about two months now. I hoped we'd finally be able to have another child. "Me to, love. "Ashton planted a kiss on my cheek. "Good night."

"Good night," I replied closing my eyes and drifting off into dreamland.

I woke up hearing commotion outside. A lot of voices could be heard, yelling. One voice caught my ear, Ashton! I got up dressing and running outside seeing Ashton fighting what seemed to be a total guard, knight? The man had our daughter's arm in his hand and Ashton was pulling her away yelling.

"Leah!" I yelled running over and successfully pulling Leah back with Ashton. "What is he doing?"I whispered.

Ashton replied much louder than I had been talking. "He's trying to take Leah, to be a handmaiden in Kingslanding. "

I pulled Leah away and Ashton continued yelling as the man reached for his sword. Before I could yell and warn Ashton about the danger it was to late. The man had already stabbed Ashton through the stomach and I stared in shock.

"Daddy!"Leah screetched as she ran to Ashton as he bled holding the wound.

"Leah! Ashton!" I followed Leah to Ashton and pools of tears formed in my eyes. I dropped to Ashton's body, he already died I couldn't even say goodbye.

I felt a sharp, strong tug on my arm as I was being yanked up. "Let's go!" I was being pulled along by the man. Leah still standing by Ashton's body yelled for me. "Mommy!"Some other men were pulling her in an opposite direction, we were both pulled inside carriages but both went the opposite way.

I sobbed as I was in the carriage not caring where we were going, who was there with me, I was just devasted as my family was torn apart just like it had been with Jamie and Aiden. My life seemed to be coming together but then slipped through my fingers, without me being able to do anything about it.
