The Compromise.

xXx

It was Late night and Caspian's Bed Chamber was pitch black. He could Hear his heart beating louder and louder with the thought of the Pevensies having to leave in only a matter of hours,

Surely not Edmund his new best friend, so wise he needed his wisdom to help him.

"No" not Lucy her kind innocent heart made him feel stronger.

Peter of course was not his favorite person in the world but if he stayed then he would surely want to stay High King and would therefore let him not have to take the throne as high king.

The worst part about the Pevensies leaving was Susan, Queen Susan the Gentle who he had the most longing for to stay in narina. It was not only for the fact that she was breath takingly beautiful but also the fact that ever since he had met her he found a reason to live. To wake up in the morning and hurry down to the dinning hall just to see her beautiful face smile up at him.

Oh yes this was the person he would miss most of all and with that thought unable to stay awake any longer he rolled onto his back and fell asleep.

The next morning was warm and breezy, Peter woke to the sounds of birds chirruping at his window. He sat up and rubbed his eyes and looked out the window, today was the day he had been dreading. The day all the Pevensies would leave narnia forever. He hated england and dreaded it probably more then the rest of his family, only because he was the one giving up the most. His kingdom and his nobility to do the right thing, which evaded him when he entered the real world.

"I want to stay here" He whispered aloud, realizing that no one was in his bed chamber with him he felt silly for the sudden outburst. He jumped slid of the bed on to his feet and headed to his Dresser to get dressed. He opened the top shelf and there it was his most beloved sword Rhindon, and shield which he received from Father Christmas in his very first trip to narina. He frowned at them knowing he would have to leave them behind, His heart was being torn and ripped with sadness. He sighed and grabbed his sword and shield and laid them on his bed along with his clothes and then got dressed and headed for the dining hall.

Lucy and Susan were eating some toast with orange juice when peter entered the hall with the a sad look upon his face. Susan to was wearing the same expression. She hated the fact that they would have to leave, but most of this hate had to do with Caspian. She was not sure what it was but something was pleasant about him. She was saddened with great fear when she thought of being without with forever, just as she had the thought Caspian entered the room with dark circles under his eyes. Oh she hoped deeply that he cared for her the way she cared for him.

Lucy was studying this strange shade of red on her sisters cheeks, which always seemed to happen when Caspian entered the room. She could see it, but why couldn't they? It was oh so clear.

"Susan" peter asked with a slight worrying tone.

"Yes?" Susan said trying to come out of her frozen state.

"Where's ed?" peter asked

"Oh I don't no" she replied.

"Well I will go fetch him then" Peter sat down his toast and exited his room.

Lucy watched her elder brother leave and then turned her attention on the rest of the room. Susan was quiet and she was sure If was the fact that Caspian was in the room. She decided to help her out and began. "Caspian did you sleep well?"

"No, I was tossing and turning all night because.."(he was not going to tell Susan in front of her sister so he left her out for the moment) "uh..I was worried about becoming king." He said earnestly.

"How come?" Susan spoke up and immediately wished she had not.

"Well I find my self wondering if I can do it." Caspian spoke with such sorrow it touched her.

"I think you truly are a king." She said and immediately turned her nice shade of scarlet.

Caspian was thinking in deep thought at this he wondered, it could be in fact she did care for him in the same way. He stared at her for a moment and then deciding by her red cheeks that he was going to tell her before she left narnia.

"Susan." Caspian asked trying to keep his voice calm.

"Hmm?"

"Would you like to take a walk with me? " he asked praying to aslan she said yes.

"Oh..uh.. yes." She smiled after her answer

Caspian took her smile as a good sign and rose to his feet and walked to the Gardens with her beside him. Her closeness was making him feel uneasy. How could he let her go. Not like this not with out her knowing how he truly felt. He stopped at a rose bush and turned to her, Her blue eyes were so beautiful, like looking into the eastern sea itself .

"So tell me, what has you worried?"

"I'm so young, I feel naive. I do not want to let my people down. It is hard to follow the acts of the Kings and Queens of Old. I just want to be good enough," Caspian said. Once he started to speak all of the words just kept coming out of his mouth.

He realized he was feeling things that he did not know he was feeling. He was so comfortable with Que- Susan. She asked him to call her Susan.

Susan was silent for a moment; she was trying to figure out what to say to Caspian to make him feel like he could be the ruler she knew he would be.

"For one you are not that young, Lucy took her throne at age 11, and Peter was a year younger than yourself. So do not let that worry you.

"You cannot compare yourself to people who have come before you. Never compare yourself to any of us, we lived in different times and Narnia needed different things when my siblings and I ruled Narnia. You are the present and you are what Narnia needs," Susan implored Caspian.

"Thank you, Susan. You are right, and I do not know why I worry," Caspian relented. He turned to face her, her hands in his. He slowly raised them to his lips and kissed them softly. He leaned down, and closed his eyes. Susan did not know what to do, but she tilted her head to the side and closed her eyes... "Susan? Susan where are you? Su?"

Both of them jumped apart at the sound of Peter's voice. Susan was the first to recover from the almost kiss. "Yes, Peter I'm over here," she replied to Peter who was now visible to them.

"Su, Aslan is here and he requests a word with you"

"Oh! certainly." she looked a Caspian for a moment and turned and walked towards the palace.

Caspian watched her exit, she was remarkably beautiful and gentle. truly The Gentle Queen. He almost kissed her too. This thought filled with with happiness and joy, she cared for him too, If peter had not interrupted..
