Alanna could tell by her expression that Sansa never expected to see her ever again.  There was such shock across her face that you had to have been blind to miss it.

"Sister?"

She questioned standing up from her bed and standing there in shock. Alanna just smiled softly looking st her younger sister.

"Your sister has been kind enough to pay you a visit, Lady Sansa."

Roose said standing behind Alanna in the doorway. Sansa looked from Roose to Alanna. There were so many questions that she had for her, but the one most worth asking was of course --

"Why are you here?"

Sansa questioned as Alanna approached slowly. She smiles sadly when she reached Sansa and tucked a strand of red hair behind her ear.

"I came to see that you were safe. Word reached me that you're to marry Ramsey."

She told Sansa. The girl was quiet for a moment. She glanced quickly back toward Roose, who seemed to be watching intently at the interaction between the two.

"Yes."

"Is this something you want to happen Sansa?"

Alanna questioned looking at her younger sibling. Sansa, from what Alanna could tell, had grown much in the ways she carried herself. She hasn't seemed like she had been crying over the fact that she had to marry Ramsey.

"No."

She said in front of her sister and Roose. Alanna nodded her head slowly and placed her hands on her sisters shoulders.

"Lord Bolton."

Alan a said as she released her sisters shoulder and turned to face him.

"Seems we have some negotiations to work out between us."

Roose arched a brow. He looked at Alanna before he snorted.

"Really?"

He questioned looking rather amused between Alanna and Sansa. He sighed deeply and lulled his head about before holding out his arm to have Alanna exit the room.

"Sister -- "

"Everything will be fine, Sansa. I will not fail you again."

Alanna said softly enough for only Sansa to hear before she walked away from her sister. Roose shut the door back and locked it just as how it had been since Sansa had been here.

"So, you were saying?"

Roose questioned as he started walking with Alanna out in the halls. Alanna looked to Roose as they walked.

"I want to make some type of deal for my sister's freedom."

She explained. Roose lifted his head a bit.

"My son Ramsey is no longer my Bastard, he's legitimized thanks to King Tommen. Ramsey and Sansa's marriage will -- "

"Put a child on the throne in the North."

Alanna said stopping in the hallway. Roose looked at her with a smirk.

"If only that were true."

His smirk fell. He turned toward Alanna with a questionable look.

"My daughter is taking the throne in the North along with Casterly Rock once I pass."

"Daughter? You ended up having your child?"

He questioned almost shocked. Alanna nodded. Roose was silent for a moment.

"Where is your child?"

"Safe with a friend. Now you see that this whole marriage is useless. Let Sansa go."

"I'm afraid not."

Roose said causing Alanna to frown deeply. She looked at him and noticed the slight irk in his expression.

"You have one child and one child only. Sansa and Ramsey can have many. Winter is coming. Who isn't to say that your child will make it?"

"Lord Bolton how dare you -- "

"Yet I speak the truth. No matter how ugly that truth might be."

He said approaching her again. He then against placed his fingers across her soft skin. He looked at her almost sadly. He turned his gaze away finally, his heat leaving her body, as he started to walk away.

"I'll have a room made up for you on your stay. Tomorrow you're free to go -- "

"Then marry me."

Her words made him stop dead in the hallway. He kept his back to her, not turning to see her expression yet hearing the almost frantic plead in her voice.

"Marry me and I'll bare you your children for the Northern throne."

She told him watching as he glanced over his shoulder slowly. It was then she seen the rare sadness that revealed itself to her in his eyes.

"I'm afraid I'm already married, Lady Alanna."

He said causing her heart to stop. Her last hope of persuasion just died in vain.
