WAITING FOR THE WORLD TO FALL

Disclaimer #1: I own nothing and never will….. Unfortunately for me but, fortunate for the characters.

Disclaimer #2: I'm sorry if this resemble anyone FanFiction story but I assure, this story came from my own mind, well except the title which is a song that is on the Narnia Inspired soundtrack but other than that and the other characters, all in my mind!

A/N: Now I know most of you are hating me for deleting all my stories but I have good reason. I was talking to my therapist about how I was getting really frustrated over my writers block and than she suggested that I wipe all the old and create the new and suddenly WHAM! Writers block gone and a new story is better than no story at all right? Ignores angry readers glares and weapons in their hands


Part One:

Lucy sighed as she tapped her growing fingernails on her throne. Her brothers were out practicing sword fighting, Susan was having archery lessons with a centaur; Lucy had nothing to do, it was the first day since their arrival into Narnia (two years ago) that she was bored.

She figured there was always something to do in Narnia, wether it be healing a sick animal, blessing a new baby or merely talking to some of the Narnian citizens but, everyone had something to aside from Lucy. There was no need for her. Susan was the beautiful one, the one men now desired, Peter was noble and brave and Edmund the one that brought justice to any situation, what was Lucy good for?

She was a valiant yes, but the only time they needed a valiant was when there was a war and there hadn't been one for over two years but, the four Pevensie's had to bring Narnia out of the darkness and into the light and they had already done that.

"My Queen," A young centaur replied trotting into the room, Lucy perked up at and tried to look as dignified and graceful as Susan would, perhaps it was her first suitor, "a Calormen is here." he said as a young gentlemen walked into the throne room, looking nervously around. Lucy heart's quickened, Susan had many suitors from Calormen, perhaps this was one for her.

"Queen Lucy, I wish to speak to your brothers and sister." He replied bowing slightly. Lucy slumped back down on her throne, he was here to ask Susan's hand in marriage not hers, no body ever came for her.

"If I may ask, but why?"

"I wish to invite all four of you to Calormen to meet with Tisroc (may he live forever), he has requested to form a treaty with Narnia." He replied. Lucy couldn't make a decision like this, not without Peter or Edmund (and even, perhaps Susan) present. She needed to have all four of them there to make this kind of decision, they have left Narnia many times before but never to Calormen.

"Oreius!" Lucy called, knowing the General centaur would be around Cair Paravel somewhere, she smiled warmly at her friend as he trotted into the throne room. He bowed lowly to Lucy and stared quizzically at the Calormen (he didn't trust them), he turned his attention back to Lucy who was trying to look as Queenly as possible in front of the young gentlemen.

"Could you please summon Peter, Edmund and Susan?" she asked. Oreius bowed and trotted back out of the throne room to go and find the three other monarchs.

"What is your name?" Lucy asked trying to defeat the uncomfortable silence that had fallen upon both of them, Lucy hated silence, sometimes it was nice but that was only when she was alone, she hated it when there were other people in the room, it made her feel awkward and obligated to break it.

"Kristmen." He replied simply 'what an odd name!' Lucy thought but smiled at him none the less.

No more than fifteen minutes had passed before Oreius walked back into the throne room, Peter, Edmund and Susan behind him. They looked at the Calormen strangely before walking up and sitting in their thrones. Kristmen bowed at each of them, Peter and Edmund bowed their heads and Susan merely smiled warmly at him, she always liked it when another Son of Adam was around, even more if they were handsome.

"How can we help you?" Peter asked suddenly. Lucy opened her mouth to speak but Kristmen cut her off by clearing his throat nervously.

"Tisroc (may he live forever) has requested of your presence in Calormen to discuss a treaty between Narnia and Calormen!" he said boldly. Peter nodded his head and turned to Edmund and than Susan. Lucy knew they hated leaving Narnia in case something horrible happened while they were gone but, but so far, when they had left, nothing dreadful had happened.

"How many days does he request for us to be there?" asked Susan.

"He is not certain your Highness, one week at the least."

"Two weeks? That is far to long we couldn't leave Narnia for that long!" Lucy cried out, causing all of her siblings to stare at her shocked. Lucy was always the one wanting to go on a new adventure and make peace with the other countries but two weeks! That was far to long in her opinion.

"Lu, I'm sure it will be fine, Narnia needs as many alliances as it can get, we leave tomorrow!" Peter replied. Lucy huffed quietly and slid down her throne. She knew they thought of her as a child still, a child that couldn't make any right decisions but Lucy wasn't a child, she was a burgeoning young woman who has just as right to speak her mind and make decisions as Peter, Edmund or Susan were, why couldn't they see that?

"Peter, Lucy does have a point. We have never left Narnia for more than three days! Well you have but, not all four of us together!" Edmund replied. Lucy smiled thankfully at her older brother, before they entered (and even a little time after) Lucy dreaded whenever she heard Edmund's voice but now she smiled as if it were Susan or Peter.

"Well than perhaps Susan and Lucy should stay and we two go?"

"I want to come too and I'm not leaving Lucy alone, she is far to young (Lucy scowled at this), maybe Edmund should stay behind?" Susan said simply. Lucy discreetly glared at her and they had forgotten all about Kristmen who was watching the four Royals small disagreement.

"No Ed, needs to be there to make sure everything is treated justly, perhaps Ed, Peter and I should go and you can stay behind Susan?" Lucy suggested, Susan stared at her baby sister, sullenly.

"We are all going!" Peter said sternly. The other three merely rolled their eyes but nodded none the less, when Peter set his mind to it there was no stopping him, something Lucy found sometimes, annoying and disquieting.

Lucy had seen the change in all her siblings since their arrival in Narnia. Peter had become much more braver and seemed to have matured overnight. Edmund had become kind and justified, never taking sides with anyone. Susan had become a beautiful and graceful woman that nearly every man desired in the faraway lands. Lucy had also seen the changes in herself, she had became much more grown up and cried less (the last time she cried was when she read a sad story that Mr. Tumnus had given her).

"We do we leave?" Kristmen asked suddenly, all four of The Pevensie's directed their attention back to the young Calormen, Lucy smiled at him.

"Tomorrow would be the best time, wouldn't it?" Susan asked. Peter nodded.

"Tomorrow it is than!" Lucy said excitedly, it was as if Aslan had answered her silent pray, she was going on another adventure; she needed her cordial, just in case.
