I'm Audrei Madison. Today my friends are going to accompany me to my parent's grave. My sisters' are in Hawaii working just to get me to school… So they can't come for the 3rd year anniversary, even if they want to. I'm currently living with my aunt, who has become my mother for the past 2 and a half years. Sadly, she has work so she can't accompany me today.

"Hey Audrei! If we don't go now, I'm sure we'll never get there in time" Sammy yelled at me. I stopped brushing my hair and opened my window.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go down now." I grabbed my backpack and immediately run down the stairs. It's amazing how I still don't get used to this place. The big stairs, the marble floors, the chandeliers, the everything! You might be wondering, why my sisters are still working while I'm living in a mansion with my aunt. Truth is, she's already broke. And she's going to sell this house sooner or later. Making my sisters decide on working in Hawaii, in my other aunt's hotel as managers.

"Took you long enough" Tiffany yelled through the open window in the car. She's a little bit impatient when it comes to waiting.

"That house is really big" I reminded her, she just smiled at me. As I entered the car I was surprised to see they brought flowers and picnic things as well.

"Guys I really appreciate this"

"Don't mention it." Sammy started driving, "It's so cool I have my driver's license already."

"Totally." Tiffany was brushing her hair again, "I mean how are we going to Audrei's parents? Thank God you're already legal to drive. Oh, I almost forgot! Audrei, I dropped my ring in the front seat. Can you get it please?"

"Sure thing" I looked down at the seat and looked for Tiffany's golden vine decorated ring. She adores it so much. She had it ever since we were ten. "It's under the gas pedal."

"I'll get in later then"

"I got it." Tiffany and I looked at each other wide eyed. As Sammy tried to give us the ring. We all heard continuous honking and that's when everything went black.

"She's waking up! Look Susan" I'm starting to see two girls with brown hair… Oh wait… there's only one girl. "Hi."

"Where am I? Am I in the hospital?" I looked around the room. I felt a sharp pain run through my chest. "I think I broke a rib."

"Drink this then." The little girl put a drop of something in my mouth as I swallowed it I immediately felt better. "This cordial works as magic. Do you know how many lives this cordial has saved? Countless"

"Let her rest, Lucy." A beautiful girl approached my bed as she touched my forehead, "You don't have a fever anymore. Your clothes are in the closet. They're a little torn so I asked the seamstress to sew the torn parts a bit. They might have made a few alterations…"

"Where am I? Who are you?" I sat up and asked the girl. She's probably a year older than me, she had really long chocolate brown hair that matched her blue eyes.

"You're in Narnia." The girl told me. "And I'm Susan and this is Lucy. She's my younger sister. Peter and Edmund would want to meet you later. They're at a meeting as we speak."

"Why are you wearing a crown? Is this Halloween?" Susan got off the bed to give me some space to get up. "Is this even the hospital?"

"We're Queens and Narnia isn't a hospital it's a country." Lucy sat on my bed as she looked at me. "You'll love it here, the animals talk, there are nymphs, trees dance…"

"How did I get here? As far as I can remember I was suppose to visit my parents in the cemetery then some I heard some kind of honking… then I find myself waking up here…"

"Mr. Tumnus found you near river rush. You were knocked out. He brought you here; we tried to treat all the visible wounds we could find." I looked at my arm as there was bandaged all over it. "Don't move too much, the gash on your leg isn't all healed."

I raised my skirts, did I mention how balooney they are? And indeed I saw more bandages wrapped around my right leg. Suddenly somebody knocked on the door.

"Your highnesses, the kings await you for dinner."

"Let's get going… we still haven't learned your name yet…"

"I'm Audrei Madison"

"Audrei let's go, I know you're already famished." Susan opened the door motioning me to follow her as Lucy grab my hand and lead me outside, "It's best if you stick with us first in your first few days here in Cair Paravel"

"The corridors look all the same." I commented as I looked in awe, scrutinizing every detail in the palace, "But it's very beautiful. I've never saw anything like it."

"We're here." A couple of maids opened the door to a very beautiful dining hall.

"Wow"

"Seat next to me Audrei." Lucy pulled me with her.

"Peter, Edmund this is Audrei" Susan put her hand in front of me. "Audrei, they are my brothers High King Peter and King Edmund."

"How do you do, Audrei?" the blonde boy asked me. He gave me a smile and he looked really friendly and approachable. He looked like twenty or something.

"I'm… I'm fine thank you." I couldn't believe myself. I was stuttering like some kind of moron. "You?"

"Better than yesterday."

"You haven't told us about the meeting yesterday. How did it go?" Lucy asked her brother.

"Dreadful! They were forcing Edmund and I to marry one of his daughters or one of you two" Peter pointed at Susan and Lucy "to marry one of his sons."

"How disgusting." Susan blurted out.

"Over my dead body." Lucy chewed one of the chunks of meat, "You're lucky Audrei, at least the Tirsoc doesn't know you for sure he'd want you to marry one of his sons."

"Are they horrible?"

"They are as horrid as their faces." Susan retorted. "I swore to myself never ever to step on their land ever again."

"Let's stop with all the Calormen madness. It's spoiling our dinner." Peter said. "Instead why not tell us about your home Audrei? I'm sure we would all enjoy a good story."

"I'll have to excuse myself. I'm already tired." The dark haired boy stood up and went to God knows where.

"Ed!" Lucy tried to call after him. When Lucy saw she can't chase Edmund she sat back to the seat again. "He had a rough day, please understand."

I gave Lucy a nod.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to him tomorrow when he's head is cleared." Peter assured me. "Remember Audrei you are very much welcome here in Narnia."

Lucy yawned. "Lu, why don't you go to bed. We have a meeting tomorrow with Archenland."

"I will." Lucy rose and gave me a smile.

"You too. You need to rest, as we'll be showing you to the grassy lands outside of Cair" Susan gave me a smile.

Edmund POV

"I'll make you a deal. More of a treaty." An old man sat before Peter and I. He looked sickening. Peter on the other was looking very annoyed by the minute.

"As long as it doesn't concern our sisters, we might give it a shot." I looked over at the old man again. He grinned at us,

"I assure you it doesn't." I saw Peter sigh out of relief like some kind of burden was lifted upon his shoulders. "Your sisters won't really ensure peace between us, would they? Of course not! Hahahha"

He laughed at Narnia's queens as though it was dinner's joke. I stood up and grabbed my sword but Peter stopped me. "Cool it Ed." I sat back again. "Tirsoc, we aren't here to share jokes with you."

"No need to be so serious High King Peter and I was merely joking you King Edmund! No need for such childish actions. I was thinking more of… One of you to marry my daughter. Lady Amanita. She just turned 17 last week, and I thought about one of you."

"You want one of us to marry your daughter?" I looked over to Peter, who looked like he ate a handful of worms. As the Tirsoc nodded Peter opened his mouth again. "Then I will marry your daughter."

"What a delicious offer, High King Peter." I looked over to Peter as he was closing his eyes "High Queen Amanita wife of High King Peter the Magnificent. Tempting isn't it?"

Peter and I looked at him. I would have loved to smack his head.

"But I have to refuse you your highness. My daughter Amanita was captivated by King Edmund and would like nothing more than to be his joyful bride in the next three months."

"Outrageous!" Peter boomed. I was dumbfounded.

"Now. Now, High King Peter. I have another daughter, Lady Mellilia, she would love to be-"

"You don't get this do you?" I boomed at him, "Are you that desperate for us to marry your daughters? Are you sure this is the only way for us to live in harmony?"

"Hahahaha" The trisoc laughed at what I had just said. "You killed my nephew Rabadash, you should be thankful, we would still welcome you to our family as my daughter's husband."

"If we don't comply?" Peter asked him.

"We will attack Narnia, till you are extinct." Then the Tirsoc looked at me "I'm not the one desperate here, King Edmund… you are..."

I grabbed the closest thing that I could touch and I threw it at the wall. Aslan showed up at my dreams weeks earlier saying something about love. Is this the love he promised me? Being wedded of to some whore, just to prevent my kingdom from crumbling down? If this is the love he had promised then I wish love never existed.
