"Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life. You don't have to live forever, you just have to live."

― Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting

Prelude

'Theon stop it!'

'Come on it was a bit fun!

'Your pranks have gone too far!'

'Scoff. 'You want to do it. You were going along with it!

'Wait, why she is on that river bridge?' Jon said point to the girl on the bridge that brought both Theon and Robb attention.

'WHAT?!'

The three of them saw her on the river bridge on the ice water current flowing strongly in the stream.

'Get away from there!' Robb pleaded to her.

'NO!' sniff sniff

'C'mon it was just a joke!' Theon tried to reason her.

'Go away!' sniff

*Breaking sound*

At the sound of the bridge breaking, the boys begin to panic.

'That bridge is unstable. Please get down!' Jon panic tone. She shook her head in defiance.

*Rope broken*

'AHHHHHHHH!' the girl scream as she fell down the river.

'NOOOOO!'

*SPALSH*

The current was carrying her through the stream. As she tried to swim, sadly couldn't breathe up in the air, but the river is too strong. The force of river overwhelmed her strength, it toss her like a rag doll as she tried to grab something to pull herself up. True enough to her, there was nothing she could grab. She swallows a mouthful of cold water as her body is continuing hitting her body with stones on the streams which will results of bruises. It is choking her in the water. As her body was drag down and received a hard hit on her head which cause her to black out. She doesn't remember what happen next.

Until someone's strong arms grab hold of her body and hoist her out of the water as this little girl is in this strangers arms. She is completely black out as the stranger laid her on the ground as he tries to breathe air in her mouth. After long and tense minutes, she spits out of the water from her mouth and coughs a lot. The stranger signs in relief as he had saved her.

She is alive.

She shivers in the cold as the stranger wrap her in his arms with his cloak. She blankly looks up to his face. He is handsome, tall strong and well-built. His appearance of eye blue as the sky and clear as the water, his dark-short hair with a small mustache and goatee on his chin. Strong features and he looks at her with worry and reliefs as he gently smiles at her, but she is confuse that he look at her with….love? He kisses her forehead and held her tight. She heard his whispers, but couldn't make out of it.

'…thank god…I found you…never again…'

She doesn't know why but she felt safe around in this strangers arms. She doesn't known what happen next, but she felt sleepily. She was fighting it but she heard the man said.

'Sleep, sleep my beloved. I'll get you to safety.'

So, she did, but not until the last thing she heard was the small footstep coming towards them.

As she is rested on the soft feel of her bed. Hearing fire crackling and she is breathing heavily, and sweating a bit. She heard voices.

'I thank you my lord…'

'My lord, she has…high fever…rest…'

'Cat you…must rest….she…not dying'

'No…Ned…must be here...'

'…thing at all…Anything you desire….say so.'

'I would…stay here… til…I know she…is well…'

Four Months later

Slowly her eyes opened.

She looked around and saw this stranger again on her left side of her bed. He smiles at her and places his hand as he gently rubbed her head. She couldn't help, but smile back. Lady Catelyn Stark was on her right side of the bed as she was a soundly asleep on the chair while she was making a prayer wheel. The moment is ruined by the sound of the door knob is turning.

The door opened as Lord Stark, Maester Luwin, Robb Stark, Jon Snow, and Theon Greyjoy enter her room. The noise gotten Cat jump up from her chair rather violently. She landed on a loud thud on the floor.

It has gotten the children giggles and the adults smiles a bit.

'Oh. Hello Ned…and everyone.' Cat spoke rather hurriedly as she tries to pick up the incomplete prayer wheel.

'Little one, how are you feelings?' Ned spoken to her. As she tilted her head a little and simply nodded.

It was Catelyn who spoken next.

'Do you remember what happen and why did you go to the river bridge?'

As she tried to think hard enough she just couldn't remember. Her head was starting to hurt as she begins thinking about what happen that day.

A gently hand rubbed calmly on her head which stops her from remembering anything. She looks up and he said.

'Don't worry little one. There is no need to force yourself to remember. Aye?' She nodded at the aye tone.

Maester Luwin answered, 'it would seem that the young lady lost few memories and it would take time to remember.'

The stranger nodded. 'Understood.'

'Now can you tell me your name?'

The little girl looked down for a moment and look at him.

"My Senara (ze-NAH-rah) Stark, daughter of Brandon Stark and Lillian Stark, niece to Eddard Stark and Catelyn Stark."

The man chuckles since he likes her spark.

"Well, Hello. My lady Senara, my name is Alexander Grayson." However his mind left unsaid.

'My name is Vlad Tepes.'

'But you can called me Dracula'
