"I wish we had more time together." Caspian said in his wonderful Spanish accent, looking down at her astonishing blue eyes.

"It would never have worked anyway." Susan didn't know whom she wanted to comfort with this lie, him or herself.

"Why not?" he asked disappointed.

"I am 1300 years older than you!" she pointed out, smiling.

With this she walked towards her siblings but suddenly she turned around, ran to his arms and kissed him passionately. Slowly the world melted away from around them.

It seemed like an eternity until they broke apart, breathing heavily. Chocolate-brown eyes met blue ones. But he didn't want to let her go and so he hugged her and held her tight.

When she finally stepped away from him, she had a smile on her face. This moment, she swore to herself, she would never forget.

And at this moment, the young woman woke up, as she always did, crying, asking herself if it wouldn't be better to forget about this memory, because no matter how wonderful it was, it always caused pain, pain about a lost love.

Everytime she heard somebody speaking with a Spanish accent, everytime she looked into somebody's dark brown eyes, she was reminded of him. Everytime she closed her eyes, she saw his face in front of her eyes, everytime she slept, she dreamed of their time together.

And everytime one of these things happened, she felt an unbearable pain in her heart, like someone was stabbing it.

And although she had sworn to herself that she would never forget him, as she would never forget Aslan or Narnia, she didn't know how much longer she could stand this pain. She didn't know if she could go on with her life, accepting the fact that she would never see him again, but thinking of him no matter where she was, what she did.

Susan took a deep breath and tried to calm down, so that she wouldn't wake up her parents, who were sleeping in the beds underneath her. She could hear her father's snoring and the waves bouncing against the ship. Knowing that she wouldn't be able to sleep again, she climbed down the bunk bed, put on her robe and left the small bunk.

As she opened the door to the deck, she was nearly thrown over by a powerful wind gust. She pulled her robe tighter and struggled through the wind to the railing. She stopped at the railing and looked over the sea. There was nothing but water as far as the eye can reach. The full moon lightened the high waves, which looked quite intimidating, but from time to time he was covered by the clouds, which travelled due to the storm fast through the sky.

Susan enjoyed the smell of the sea, the feeling of the wind in her hairs and the fine drops of saltwater that the wind blew up at her skin. These things reminded her of expeditions and adventures, she had experienced with her siblings during their reign in Narnia.

She was missing her siblings very much. She hadn't seen them for the whole summer due to the trip to America, she had made with her parents. Peter had been spending the summer studying for his exams with professor Kirke, while Lucy and Edmund stayed at their relatives, the Scrubbs, very to their dislike. Susan had to laugh, thinking about her younger siblings, having to spend the whole summer with their annoying cousin Eustace.

She was looking forward to seeing them again. Being away from them reminded her of Narnia as well. Susan had often stayed behind, looking after the throne, when the others had gone to war or visited other nations. But this time she was the one, who had gone on a journey, on an adventure, she was the one, who had spent the whole summer thus far away from her home.

Well, home ... to be honest, Finchley, England, didn't feel like home for her anymore. Even at the moments she spent with her family, with her siblings, something was missing. He was missing...

Suddenly a loud siren sounded behind Susan and within the next moment there was a chaos on deck. Seamen were running around, adjusting a rope here and there. People were storming out of the door from the lower deck, shouting, asking what had happened.

The voice of the men through the speaker nearly drowned in the crowd, "Dear passengers, we have reached shoal water and ask you to put on the life vest and stay on the lower deck. This is only a measure for safety, so we ask you to stay calm ..." Susan was still standing at the railing, shocked, not realising what had happened.

Suddenly there was a loud thud and the ship started to liberate first to the left and then to the right, so that the huge waves washed water over the railing.

Susan slipped on the wet floor and lost her balance. She tried to catch the railing with her hand but failed and fell in the sea. Between the screams of the people, she could hear somebody yelling "Man over board!" and then there was silence.

She felt how the icy water sucked her down, deeper and deeper to the ground of the sea.

She felt how the air left her lungs and for a short moment she considered not to fight against the tons of water, to give up, to die and to leave this world.

But then she saw the faces of her siblings in front of her and gathered all her strength. Paddling with feet and arms, it felt like she needed hours, till she finally reached the surface.

"Help!" she could barely scream before a huge wave dragged her down into the water once more. The next time she emerged from the sea she could spot the shape of the ship only some meters to her left and scream for help again. The next wave dragged her even deeper into the water, but suddenly she felt how somebody grabbed her arm and pulled her to the surface.

She felt how two strong arms pressed her against a muscular chest. She felt how these arms trailed her to the ship and how they laid her down gently on the ground. She felt wet lips on her own ones and how these lips filled her lung with air. She felt how the spirit of life flooded her body once more. And as she opened her eyes and looked into those wonderful chocolate brown ones, she felt how she lost her consciousness.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Caspian was looking over the sea, watching the mighty huge waves, thinking about how dangerous water can be in its various forms.

Ice, no matter how brilliant it looks reflecting the sun, it is as hard and dangerous as stone.

Snow, no matter how wonderful and magical a landscape covered with snow looks, causes failing of the harvest and famine.

And waves, no matter how calm they are sometimes, those amounts of water can kill a person.

They had been looking for them for three days, searching the water and the nearby islands, but they hadn't found any sign. Caspian knew that it was hopeless.

Because of the mighty storm they had needed half an hour to turn the ship and return to the place where it had happened. They couldn't even exactly tell where this was. By the time they got there, those to be rescued may have been flushed miles away or they may have drowned already. They were injured and the high waves didn't give them much a chance to survive.

But Caspian couldn't stop searching, he couldn't give up. Those people meant so much, not only to him, but to whole Narnia. And it was his fault that they were lost...

"Your majesty, there is something in the water over there! Look!" Caspian suddenly heard a voice next to him.

When he located a person's hand emerging from the sea, he climbed over the railing and jumped into the sea without hesitation. Immediately he was where the person had appeared before, and dived into the sea. He got hold of a petit hand and dragged the person to the surface.

When he realized, who this person was, he was holding in his arms now, he felt his heart stop beating, asking himself if this was a dream. He trailed her to the ship, holding her tight he grabbed the rope his men had thrown down to him and together the king and the queen were reeled in the ship through the air.

Caspian laid her gently on the ground, noticing that she wasn't breathing.

"Oh, Aslan, please! Let her be ok! Don't let her be...!" he prayed towards the sky, not able to finish his last thought.

"She can't breathe, there is too much water in her lungs!" one of his men shouted from behind. Caspian hesitated shortly, then moved his hand to open her mouth and covered it with his and breathed into her to fill her lungs with air again.

When he pulled back, he noticed with relief that her chest was moving up and down. Then she opened her eyes, their gaze met and he was once more astonished by her sapphire blue eyes, he had dreamed of for more than three years now. The world around him melted apart, her being the only person he saw, their reunion he had dreamed of for such a long time.

The moment she closed her eyes once more and passed out, the spell was broken. Caspian tore away his eyes from her, moving one hand to his mouth, tracing the lips that had just touched hers for the second time with one finger.

"Caspian, what's going on? What happened?" he heard Lucy's voice behind him.

The young queen struggled through the crowd of men that had gathered around the royals.

When she caught sight of her sister a little smile crossed her face, the face that had been in despair and full of tears for the last days.

"Susan! What happened? Is she alright?" she kneeled down next to her sister, laying her hand on her forehead, "We've to change her clothes or she will freeze to death! You've to carry her to your quarters. She needs warmth! Come on!"

She looked at Caspian, who was just recovering from the shock of seeing her again. He was looking like he had seen a ghost. He hadn't thought that he would see her again in this world, not that he hadn't hoped or dreamed of it, but really experiencing this was something else.

"Caspian!" Lucy nearly shouted, awaking him from his thoughts.

The young king pulled himself together, like he had done a hundred times before when he had to lower his personal feelings for the greater good. He stood up and took her once more in his arms. Breathing in her wonderful scent and feeling her heart that close to his, he followed Lucy.

Caspian carried his love over the doorsill and laid her gently on his bed, like he would have done on their wedding day. He brushed a strand of hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear, resting his hand on her cheek. Then he stepped back and left the room, so that Lucy could change her sister's clothes.

Once outside he leaned against the wall, sinking slowly to the floor. He moved his hand to his head, messing up his hair frustrated. For such a long time he had been dreaming of their reunion and now that it had finally happened he wished she would have never come. After seeing her he felt even guiltier than before and this guilt was destroying him from the inside. How could he tell her what had happened, when he couldn't even admit it to himself. How could he look her in the eye after what had happened?

Caspian buried his head in his arms and cried. He hadn't been crying for a long time, not allowing himself to show any weakness as a king, but at this moment he was the lost boy in the woods once more, feeling how everything he had known was falling apart.

Suddenly he felt a petit hand on his shoulder and when he looked up the younger queen was standing next to him. "Caspian, it's not your fault!" she tried to comfort him.

And once more Caspian admired the strength of the youngest queen. After everything she had gone through in these last days, she was still trying to comfort everybody.

She was the one, who had the most right to grieve and to be angry about, how unfair the world could be. But also she had struggled in the last days, she hadn't lost her faith that everything will turn out right in the end.

He should be the one comforting her not the other way round. Immediately he was ashamed, wiped away his tears and stood up.

"How is she?" he asked, not able to speak her name out loud.

"She will be alright! She just needs warmth and rest! I should go back, so that she isn't alone when she wakes up. Caspian you have to change your clothes as well or you will catch a cold!" The young woman gave him a hug and disappeared in the room once more.

But Caspian didn't want to go in there again, at least not yet. Sooner or later he had to, but for now he needed to speak to the Captain to ensure that the search for the disappeared ones would continue, no matter how hopeless it was.

When he turned around and opened the wooden door to go on deck, a person, who he knew very well, was standing in front of him and Caspian asked himself silently if this could get any worse!

Well what do you think? I hope the part where I switched from Susan to Caspian wasn't too confusing!! PLEASE leave me a review – only one sentence would make my day a thousand times better!! I'll update soon!
