Adoption
King Peter led her into a study where his sisters currently sat. "Oh honey you look horrid" Queen Susan said taking her from Peter and sitting her down. She put a cup of tea into her hand. "Here drink this, it'll make you feel better" Queen Susan said as Queen Lucy quickly started fixing Jenna's hair. King Peter noticed that she didn't flinch or shun away from their touch like she did with himself or with King Edmund. He growled slightly clenching his hand knowing what that beast must have done to her to cause it. It wasn't long before King Edmund had walked in. He stood leaning against the wall, his white wolf sitting at his feet. "Thank you your majesty but I wish that you hadn't interfered" She said her eyes focused on her cup of tea. King Peter raised an eyebrow at her. "Why do you wish that?" He asked curiously sitting on the edge of his desk, crossing his ankles and folding his arms over his broad chest.
"Because, my punishment is only going to be even worse now, I wish you had left me to my fate" She whispered a tear falling into her tea. "He would have killed you" King Edmund growled at her. She threw her tea away from her. The cup and small plate it rested on shattered as it hit the floor spilling its contents. "Then you should have let him! At least it would finally be over! And I'd be free of that man!" She shouted at him, Dizzy sat up in her lap. Reaching forwards with her paw, so it rested again Jenna's cheek. She stepped forwards licking at her cheeks at the new found tears there. The four siblings eyes widened at her words watching Jenna wrap her arms around Dizzy and crying hysterically into her fur. Her body shook from the tears. Queen Lucy wrapped her arms around the girl. Queen Susan turned towards her brothers. "Isn't there anything we can do for her?" She demanded wanting desperately to help her. "Tell me Lady Jenna, how are you tied to your lord?" King Peter asked, "His wife was the leader of the gypsy's before she died in child birth. I was her prodigy, she took me in when she found me and Dizzy wandering the streets when I was a little girl" She said grasping herself under control.
"He considers her a slave Peter; we'd have to buy her from him." Queen Susan told him, "He won't let you. He'll never sell me" Jenna said as new found fear rippled through her body. "Oh I think he'll be more inclined to after tonight" King Edmund chuckled to himself, causing a proud smile from his older brother Peter while Queen Lucy gave him a confused look and Queen Susan scolded him in a motherly nature. Jenna looked up at him with confused eyebrows. "Lucy why don't you take Lady Jenna to a new room. I'm sure you can find a perfect one for her" King Peter told his youngest sister smiling at her affectionately. A large smiled spread across her face, she took Jenna's hand and quickly made for the door. Jenna stopped her turning around to them. She curtseyed, "Thank you your majesties" She said before the two disappeared from the room.
"He's not going to give her up easily Peter" Susan said as Peter sat further onto his desk in a relaxed child like manner. "Oh yes he will" Edmund snarled walking closer taking a seat in his favorite chair. Susan looked at him, "What are you going to kill him Edmund? Yeah that'd be great to strengthen ties with Calormen" She said sarcastically. "I could care less about that country if they enslave their girls and rape them at all hours of the night." Edmund snarled he had also figured out the reason of why Jenna so distrusted men and stayed out from under their touch. Susan sighed, she hated it too but she wasn't as hot headed as her younger brother.
"How inclined do you think he is to selling her to us after tonight Edmund?" Peter asked him seriously, "After the impression Jayla left him with. Oh I'd say he'd sell her to us out of fear of being attacked again." Edmund said smiling affectionately at Jayla. She gave a slight wag of her tail before watching the door and windows. She always stayed on guard even through Narnia was in peace. "Edmund" Susan scolded, "Don't even start Susan. You weren't there if you saw what he was doing to her I have no doubt in my mind that you would have shot him with one of your arrows yourself!" Edmund told her. "I didn't have to Ed, I saw her when Peter brought her in here." Susan argued back. "Look, we all agree that she is to stay here then?" Peter asked, Susan and Edmund both nodded.
"She is quite different" Susan said looking out the window, the songs Jenna sang ran in her head. "Singing of a place called Earth and such" She said, a light bulb went off in her head as it did for Edmund and Peter. "Do you think�" Peter asked, "Is it even possible�" Susan asked, "Why not? Aslan brought us here. He could very easily have brought Jenna hear as well" Edmund said, "Her cat" Susan said remembering the gold cat. "That cat is a female" Peter told her, "Yes but how many forms can Aslan take? Or how many does he have that serve him?" Susan asked them. The two boys sighed. They all agreed to keep an eye on her more closely.
"So you don't remember anything before you waking up with Dizzy?" Lucy asked as they walked through the halls. Jenna shook her head, "No I don't" She said "Well that's interesting" She said, "So this is Dizzy?" Lucy asked looking at the gold cat that was sleeping in Jenna's arms. "Yes, and who is your friend?" She asked looking at the white cat in Lucy's own arms sleeping. "Oh this is Jade" Lucy smiled affectionately at the cat. "Why do you all have animals guarding you when it's peaceful?" Jenna asked, "Oh their not just for guarding. We like the companionship, also their great for delivering messages when we're in a tight jam." Lucy said Jenna understood Dizzy had done the same for her.
Lucy pushed open a door and Jenna's jaw dropped at seeing it. "Wow" She said the bed was huge, a light blue four poster bed. There was a large plush white couch in the corner with a full length mirror and a wardrobe. Two large bay doors led out to a terrace while another door led to a marble bath room where a lake sat inside. "It's fit for a Queen; our rooms are along this hall as well." Lucy said, Jenna instantly blushed, "Uh no thank you but shouldn't I be in a room more fitting to my rank?" She asked, "You are" Lucy told her smiling. "As a lady of the court this room suits you perfectly." Lucy told her, Jenna laid Dizzy onto her own pillow on the bed. "A lady of the court?" She asked, "What did you think Peter and Edmund would let you leave with that barbaric man?" Lucy asked scoffing; Jenna blushed before hate scored through her body at the mention of her lord. "He will not sell me" Jenna whispered. "Oh trust me, they're rather convincing when they want to be." Lucy smiled, "There's a nightgown in your wardrobe. I suggest you clean up and get some sleep. Someone will be here to escort you to breakfast in the morning" Lucy said before bidding her a good night. Jenna curtseyed as the young Queen left.
Jenna decided to follow her advice. She walked into the bathroom and was once again struck speechless by its grand nature. She slipped out of her clothes kicking them to the side as she stepped in. It was warm water and she was thankful for it. Looking over there was a small dish of sand. Reaching into it she wet it and rubbed the sand soap against her body and hair. After cleaning herself for the fifth time she just sat in the water and let her body just soaks. As a gypsy she was kept rather thin. Thinner than most women. Deciding it was enough soaking she found a towel. Securing it around her found another one to dry her hair.
She walked into her room; she stopped at seeing a sparkling white new guitar lay on her bed. Surprised she ran up to it, there was no note attached to it. But it was Narnian made for sure. It had carvings of lions and battles past etched into it. She marveled at it as she picked it up. Taking in all angles as it reflected in the moonlight pouring in from her bay doors. Smiling her quickly changed into her night gown and strummed a few chords before falling asleep on her rather comfortable bed.
