I have been trying to update parts of the story and revising it so enjoy people and you all that read it!
Chapter 1: The guests
"Edmund! Oh Edmund!" Lucy ran down the corridor to his bedroom in Cair Paravel where they were crowned Kings and Queens of Narnia 3 years ago. The four of the children came into Narnia from a wardrobe and defeated the White Witch. "Susan and Peter are waiting for you down in the Great Hall. Lord Frauen from Archenland is coming in a matter of hours and you're still sleeping?"
Oh, by the mane of Aslan! She thought to herself. Lucy waited for a minute hoping to hear him getting up but heard nothing. Without waiting for another second, she opened the door and let herself inside his room and jumped on his bed wanting him to wake up.
"Ed! Edmund, I know you can hear me." She next crooked her head to the side and saw him open his weary brown eyes. "Finally, you're awake." Lucy jumped off of the bed and went to the wardrobe nearest to the bed and had looked through numbers of different garments.
"Thanks to you. He isn't coming for another eight hours. I think I can take my time." He smiled.
A servant picked out Edmund's garments and placed them in the washroom. "King Edmund, its time for your bath."
Lucy shook her head, "Please tell him to hurry up. The rest are up already."
"Of course my queen." The servant bowed and headed into the bathroom.
She always so joyful…especially around company. Lord Frauen has been here twice already. I've met him, he's a fair man, but too serious. I met one of his daughters. How many did he say he had? Three, did he say? I think… Their names were Elizabeth and Annalissa? Sweet Mary-Anne, she was five when I last saw her. I think Lord Frauen mentioned that Elizabeth was the same age as me. After he bathed, dressed, and did whatever else he had to do, he exited his bedroom and passed through the halls and entered the Great Hall to see Peter and Susan.
"Well, well, look who's up and awake." Susan said brightly. She and Peter were tidying up the castle for the arrival of Lord Frauen. "Peter, do you think he'll bring both of his daughter this time? We met Mary-Anne. A sweet little girl, she is."
"Yeah, she has a wonderful imagination like her mother." A voice said from nearby.
"Lord Frauen! We didn't expect you to arrive so early. Welcome back to Cair Paravel." Peter greeted him warmly with a sweet smile.
"So, how long are you staying this time?" Lucy asked cheerfully.
"Dear, Lucy!" She rushed to him and gave him a hug. "You've grown since the last time I saw."
"Why thank you very much." Lucy gave a small laugh.
"Susan, you've bloomed into a beautiful young woman." She blushed and embraced his hug. "How's that archery of yours going?"
"It's getting better, thanks to practicing. You remember?"
"Of course! You four are very entertaining to be around. Plus that ball at Christmas was wonderful. All the excitement, activities, and the social stuff… you know." They all were silent for a moment, but then he ended it. "Oh! Yes, I would like you to meet my other daughters. They're just outside obtaining their belongings."
"Of course." Peter said as the two walked out of the castle and into the courtyard.
"…And that's why you need to listen to me Annalissa." The girl on the left of their carriage said to the other one across from her. Annalissa was the one on the left. She was the same age of Peter and had long soft vanilla blonde hair cascading down her small back. Her eyes were the color of the ocean. "I am older than you after all." She smiled.
"True, true… but I am more responsible than you… Elizabeth? Do you remember the time your horse went missing? You forgot to close to gate of the pasture. It took a few weeks to find Butterscotch."
"Ugh, don't remind me." Elizabeth grabbed one of the suitcases and put it on the ground and looked at her older sister.
"Oh! And remember the other time you-."
"Girls," Lord Frauen spoke out. They both looked at the two men.
"Sorry father." Said Elizabeth, grabbing bits of her dark brown hair.
"Elizabeth, Annalissa… I present to you, High King Peter."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Your Highness," Elizabeth and Annalissa said while they curtsied and formed a kind smile. "So," Elizabeth rushed in. "How is like being a King? Do you go to many parties? Are you engaged? Is it more fun being the oldest ordering the others around?"
"Izzie!" Annalissa laughed. "Ask more questions, will you?" Elizabeth blushed.
"It's a pleasure to meet you two, wont you come inside?"
"Oh yes, of course." Elizabeth and her father walked toward the castle chatting about various things. Annalissa stayed and grabbed a suitcase. Peter walked toward her and placed his hand on hers.
"Don't worry, I'll help with the luggage. You just enjoy yourself." Peter said.
"Oh, I don't want to be a burden of any kind."
"No! Of course you're not. Don't worry about it… Annalissa, is it?" Annalissa nodded and decided to stay with him.
"Thank you very much Your Highness."
"Don't mention it." He was silent for a second. "Oh and one more thing."
"What is it?" She asked.
"You can call me Peter if you want to." He looked at her and smiled at her. She blushed and smiled back.
"Alright Your High- … I mean, Peter." A couple of centaurs helped the small family by gathering their luggage.
The two walked up to the castle and followed the rest into the Great Hall. When everyone met the other two daughters, Lord Frauen and his children were later settled in. Elizabeth was in one of the guestrooms unpacking her belongings. She found her diary inside the depths of her travel case. It was small and texture was leather, but the background was two colors. The one color was pink, and in the middle was a rose carving colored red. She held it and put the notebook in the desk by the wide window. She could view the ocean where she was, and she felt calmer by the second. Suddenly, she heard a knock and placed the diary inside one of the drawers and walked to the door. Elizabeth opened it and saw Edmund's face.
"Oh, hello there. You must be Edmund?"
He nodded and looked at her. "So, how are you enjoying your stay?"
"It's lovely… Cair Paravel in that matter. You siblings are very hospitable." She smiled. "Would you like to come in?" Her calmness and vibe made him relax.
"Oh, um… sure."
"So…How do you like being a King?"
"It's alright, but Peter gets to do all the important stuff."
"You make it sound like you don't have anything to do."
"I do have a few duties, one is to help protect Narnia. Even in the most dangerous situations."
"Sounds like fun. So you fight a lot I presume?"
"Only in battles, but there hasn't been anything that bad, except the first battle three years ago."
"Didn't it have to do with two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve? Also a prophecy that had to do with defeating the White Witch and restoring Narnia in peace?"
"You know about it?" He asked curiously.
She nodded, "My parents mentioned about it a lot when we were younger and before Mary-Anne was born. I remember the others in Narnia saying as they woke up, they would look out of their windows, and there would be snow. There was also the traitor. He went behind his siblings back and just got himself in a bigger stickier situation." Edmund was quiet, hoping she would realize that he was the traitor. "Oh," she looked at him and remembered that he was the one. "Edmund. I'm terribly sorry. If I offended you in anyway, I am sorry."
"I understand, and I learned from my mistake. I saw what the White Witch could do, and I helped her do it." He was silent, but broke the silence. "But Aslan reformed me."
"Yes, that's good to hear. I'm sorry; about all the things you went through before."
Edmund laughed. "I was a complete ass, a horrible person to my family. I only thought about myself and what I wanted to do, and I realized later that I had to look out for not only for myself, but for the others who were close to me as well."
"Wise words, Your Highness. Very wise and mature. Your mother would be proud of how her son grew out of all of this."
"She's in England."
"Where?"
"Oh, well… We actually live in another world; Earth."
"Interesting. Is…England, your birthplace?"
"Yes, the four of us are from England."
"What is it like?"
"Well, before we left, it was chaotic."
"What do you mean by chaotic? Disaster? War?"
"Yes… there was a war."
She thought for a moment, then snapped back into reality. "You must have went through a lot before coming to Narnia?"
"You're going to think I'm a lunatic when I'm going to tell you this."
"Come on, it can't be that bad!"
"We came through a wardrobe."
"Excuse me? A wardrobe? That's impossible… logically it is."
"You sound like Susan when Lucy first told the three of us back at the Professor's house." After he said that, there was knock on the door.
"Come in." Elizabeth said. It was Mary-Anne. She was holding a teddy bear and then crawled into Elizabeth's lap. He was sitting next to Elizabeth beside the bed now. "Whatcha got their Mary-Anne? Is that 'sniffles'?" The little girl nodded.
"I'd better leave you two alone." Edmund got up and smiled at Mary-Anne.
"Oh, ok then."
"I'll see you later?" She nodded.
"Bye-bye Edmund!" Mary-Anne managed to say before he left Elizabeth's room. When he closed the door, he let out a big breath and walked away.

A/N:
Ok, now that's done, I don't know if anyone is confused on who Annalissa is and who is Elizabeth. I just had a funny feeling that people were going to ask me which was which and who was going to like who and so forth. If any of you want hints or spoilers for what's going to happen next message me:) But I suggest you wait! hahaha
Quote from Chapter 2: "Her death had taken a huge toll on Elizabeth back when...you know. I'm not sure if she's still fully recovered from the depression."
