Chapter one: His Queen to Never Be ~ Forever and Always
Author's Note: Here is my second story for the Chronicles of Narnia. This story will be a mix of Caspian/ Susan, Edmund/ OC, Peter/ OC but mostly an Edmund/ OC fanfic. I'm not entirely sure how this story is going to turn out and please tell me what you think, like it, love it, hate it, think it's stupid, I don't care just say something! Also note that these are not the real names of people that I know and I do not own The Chronicles of Narnia and anything use from it, it's a sad truth but the truth whether I like it or not.
Chapter One: His Queen to Never Be
(Edmund's POV)
Why?
Why do I have to leave what's most important to me just to learn what is to learn in England and the worst part about it is that she has no idea... You probably don't get what's happening right now so let me take you back 7 years for Narnia right after the defeat of Miraz...
(7 years ago)
"Everyone who were in the army to fight against Miraz gathering in the Great Hall your highness" Said General Katherine (A.N. All Characters are human!)
"Thank you Katherine, I must say you look very beautiful tonight." While I said that to her she blushed that beautiful shade of pink I love so much, as I took her hand in mine and kissed it before walking to the Great Hall with her. You see we were having a ball to celebrate how we came together to beat the unjust government that Miraz ruled under. To be completely honest I really didn't want Katherine to be general I mean she is just so tiny...
Flashback~
"Edmund, we need her, she is the best general I have ever had the pleasure of meeting."
"But Caspian, how can we be sure she isn't a double agent?"
"My loyalty is in Caspian, Miraz created such a terrible way of life for the Narnians and I am one of the few who stayed in contact with them, I have seen them suffer, I have seen them die, I have seen spirt and bravery in them that I haven't seen in anyone before in my life. I may look young but I am not weak, am I Caspian?"
"First of all KATHERINE, his name is Prince Caspian as he is royalty-"
"Not to me he is"
"What's that so posed to mean?"
"That means she is my sister. So lets drop the formalities and she will be general if she beats you in the trials."
"What trials and why are you grinning?"
"The trials are three rounds of one-on-one combat, bulls eye target, and negotiation. She is grinning because she loves to do these things for warm-up so I would say go all out!"
"Fine. When will the trials be held?"
"How long does it take for you to prepare?"
"One Week"
"Then in one week we shall battle!"
One Week Later...
At the Battle Field...
" Contestants, are you ready?"
"YES!"
"Lets get this over with."
"THREE, TWO, GO!!!!"
We fought for what seem hours and her still wasn't giving in and finally I showed some weakness and she hit me with all she had and I fell...hard. So much for this was going to be a piece of cake.
"ROUND TWO!!!'"
"Katherine since you won the last round will you please pick a target?"
"Think it is only fair that Edmund should go first and should pick a target that is easiest for him so maybe he could win a round."
Oh. No. She. Didn't!
"Oh no ladies first."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
"YOU ARE SO GOING TO LOSE! WHEN I'M DONE WITH YOU, YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK LIKE YOU ANYMORE!"
"THEN SHOOT SOMETHING!"
I shot pine cone in the tree and hit it dead center! Let's see her do better!
"That was weak!"
"As if you could do better!"
Just like that she closed her eyes and split my arrow in half and shot another one about 60 meters higher than my pin cone.
WHAT.
THE.
HELL!
"THE WINNER OF ROUND TWO GOES TO GENERAL KATHERINE!!!!"
Ok, last round I really need to win this one, I'm the best negotiator in my family so the should be easy!
"ROUND THREE!!"
"All you need to do is prove to me why we should keep the peace and why we should keep up this war. Not Edmund since you lost the first two rounds you get to pick which side you want. So pick."
"Fighting."
"That leaves peace for Katherine. Katherine will start us off, ready set, GO!"
"Why must we fight? Do we fight for peace, do we fight just because we can or do we fight because we see there are no other alternatives other than that is war?"
"We fight for justice that is why we fight!"
"Now tell me King Edmund the JUST, is it justice if we are killing innocent lives of people and creatures? Is it right for them to die for someone else's problems? I don't think that any of that is just or right, if we are to bring up a country of peace and justice shouldn't we at least try to show it, or do something other than fight. Fighting doesn't always solve all problems, they just make it bigger."
the room went silent. I had nothing to say to that it was all true so I did the one thing I could do.
"I forfeit this competition, she has more than proven that she is qualified to be general of our army, I am sorry for ever doubting you."
~End Of Flashback~
After that day, we started to become really good friends and after a while I asked her if she would date me and she said she would and that brings us back to now. As we were going to the Great Hall, we met up with Peter, Susan, and Aslan.
"Ed, could we talk to you after the ball?"
"Sure. See you later."
Ok that was weird, oh well! Tonight was going to be the night were I ask Katherine to marry me.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*One Hour Later~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Katherine, will you come with me for a second, please?"
"Sure."
"Katherine, you are the most beautiful person I have ever met. You have passion, you have drive and you are everything I could ever want and more, I want to spend forever with you, the question is will you spend it with me?"
Katherine's POV
I can't believe that he just asked me that! I'm just shocked. I love this man so very much, but we're so young, but will we ever find love like this ever again? I don't think so.
"Sure, why not."
"Really?"
"Yes, I'll marry you."
Just then he picked me up and kissed me with such passion and love that it made me go weak in the knees.

Edmund's POV

"We're leaving, Edmund."
"WHAT?"
