Hi! Welcome, all. This is my first "Narnia" fanfiction. I hope you like it.

Setting: This story takes place when Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are in Narnia, between "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" and "Prince Caspian". This story doesn't follow "The Horse and His Boy", "The Magician's Nephew", "Silver Chair", and "The Last Battle". It will include events from "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader", "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" and "Prince Caspian". They are still in Narnia as Kings and Queens, ruling during the Golden Age.

Disclaimer: I do not own "Narnia"; I do not claim to own characters, worlds, or direct quotes from the movies/books.

Main Characters: To fit the plot of this story, I have switched around the main characters. The main characters are still Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy - but they are no longer related. Peter and Lucy are related, and Susan and Edmund are related. But Peter is not related to Susan, nor Lucy to Edmund. That means no Pevensie-Incest!

Ages: Peter Pevensie is 21, Susan Thomas is 20, Edmund Thomas is 18, Lucy Pevensie is 16.

Please note: this story has been edited. This story used to have the family bond altered by magic (so they used to all be related but were not related in Narnia). Due to the confusion this brought to some readers, I have changed the backstories of these characters. For my old readers, this does not change anything because they were never really related in the older version. I hope this makes sense.


Chapter 1: Love


Lucy


I was outside of Cair Paravel.

I could tell that it was in the forest. I was standing in a clearing, and it was cold here. I could see a cloud shape more in the woods, and I wanted to go there.

I started to walk towards it.

As soon as I was a few steps away from the cloud, a image started to play. At first everything was blurry, but after a few seconds I could see clearly. It was watching my life, but I wasn't me. I was just watching.

In the first few scenes I was playing in the snow when I was little. I watched as Peter played games with me, I watched as I played with Susan and Edmund Thomas. Susan and Edmund were like family to me. Mine and Peter's father had died in the war back home when I was quite young. The Thomas' father was deployed in the war, but went missing in action. Our mothers took comfort in each other, raising all four of us as a family.

The cloud shifted away from my childhood back home. I watched me enter Narnia for the first time, for the second time, and my most recent time. I was with Peter, Susan and Edmund.

I watched Aslan's sacrifice.

I watched the battle of the White Witch.

I watched my eight years in Narnia, up until now.

Then I stopped watching my life. I stopped because there was nothing left to show.

I had wonderful times here.

My most wonderful memories with my family. Most particularly, Edmund. I loved Edmund as my friend, like my brother. Now, my new feeling for him as more than a friend was destroying me. I loved him, but would never tell him that. I was scared. I was scared of what Peter would think - falling in love with him. He had been rude to me. He had betrayed us. He was a family friend. What would happen if he knew - if anyone knew? I was scared, so I told no one.

When I was lost in my thoughts, the air turn unusually cold around. me. I shivered. I could see a could of my breath roll out of my mouth. This was strange, Narnia is usually warm. Well the first few visits it was cold because of the… I forced my thoughts away from Edmund's betrayal.

I was still in the forest. The leaves from the bushes were brushing softly against my bare skin, leaving goose bumps in its path. I was scared, very scared.

I was behind a tree. I knew I was hiding. I had a feeling to hide. Hiding from what though?

Soon enough I found out.

"Get off of me!" A man yelled. I gasped. I knew that voice. I shook my head. It couldn't be, but I knew I wasn't just any man, it was Edmund.

"Edmund," I whispered almost silently. I bit my lip, and I pressed my back up against my tree. I slid to the ground. A very cold ground. I looked down and I noticed I was sitting in a pile of snow. When I looked around me and I noticed that everything was covered in snow. It was still quickly falling, it was falling like a snow storm. The icy snow was flying all over me, it made me shiver. The snow was covering my hair and clothing like a blanket, a very cold blanket.

"What is that dear?" A woman asked Edmund. I crunched my eyelids closed as I took a deep breath.

'It couldn't be her! She is dead. It couldn't be her! She is dead…' I thought to myself. I bit my lip once again. I knew I was in denial, but who wouldn't be?

"Did you ask me to get off you?" She asked again. I couldn't take it anymore, I had to find out if it was really her. I gathered my courage and peered around the tree is was hiding against.

There she stood. There was a woman of that could tower over anyone if she wanted. She had paper white skin, frosty white hair, a silvery outfit, and wrapped around her shoulders was a white, furry shawl. At the right of the woman she gripped a razor sharp, ice blue, long crystal knife. Light was reflecting of the perfect crystal perfectly… I took a close look at it, and I knew it right away. It was the White Witch's weapon. I gasped, and closed my eyes. When I reopened my eyes, I took a close look at the woman's face, and sure enough, to my dismay, it was the White Witch.

"Yes. I said get off me!" Edmund hissed. He looked very angry.

Beside the witch lay Edmund. He was covered in his own blood. Some of his blood was dry, and some of it was new. His clothes were ripped, and tattered. Edmund looked helpless. He had no weapon and no protection. I needed to help him, I just had to.

The White Witch looked at Edmund surprised. She walked up to him, and slapped him across his face. Edmund cried out loudly in pain.

"Edmund!" I whimpered. I felt hot tears run down my cheeks. I hated to see him in pain. I put my shaking hands over my mouth in disbelief.

Edmund defensively put his hands on his, now red cheek. After a few seconds he removed his hand from his face. On Edmunds cheek there was a deep gash. Blood was running freely down the side of his face, slowly dropping down to the pure white snow, and soon the snow slowly turned red.

"You bitch." Edmund spat. The anger in his eyes were pure hatred. I have never seen him like this, and it kind of scared me.

The White Witch slowly stalked towards her prey, Edmund. When she reached Edmund she slapped him with such force that he flew to the ground. He once again screamed in pain. She was torturing him, hurting him, thus she was hurting me.

Edmund now had deeper cuts on his face. His beautiful face was being hurt. Nobody should go through that, especially my friend, especially Edmund.

The White Witch pushed Edmund to the ground. He was lying on his stomach almost whimpering. The witch stepped down hard on Edmund's back, crushing his ribs. Edmund screamed in pain again.

"Stop. Please!" Edmund screamed in pain. This was starting to get to crazy. I couldn't take it. I was so scared, scared for me, but truly scared for my love.

"Tell me where the other Kings and Queens are then!" She told him.

"Never. I love them. You wont understand love." Edmund spat angrily. He was panting heavily. Sweat was all over Edmund's body.

"Tell me NOW!" She ordered. The White Witch grabbed Edmund by the hair, picked him up and held him against a tree. Edmund was screaming out in pain. I couldn't watch it anymore, but for some reason, I couldn't turn away. I wanted to go running, screaming for help. I wanted to run to Peter for held, or run to Susan to come help her brother, but I couldn't leave my best friend.

"I won't!" Edmund said through clenched teeth. I was shaking from my silent sobbing. Edmund was hurting so bad. Hurting because of Peter, Susan, and I.

"Bring them to me like you were supposed to eight years ago." The witch said angrily. She threw Edmund to the ground, and he cried out in pain.

"No!" Edmund screamed again.

This time fire lit her eyes. She kicked Edmund in his ribs with such force that he rolled over screaming in pain. The White Witch raised her blue, crystal, long knife. She put it against Edmunds shoulder, and cut. Edmunds cried out in pain again as he curled his legs inwards.

"Stop! No! Don't hurt him!" I screamed. I jumped up and ran towards Edmund. Everything around me was moving slow motion, but the witch moved with incredible speed. Edmund cried out once more as the witch cut Edmunds other shoulder.

"Stop! Please!" I cried. I pushed my way past the witch, and kneeled in front of Edmund.

"Go. Run." Edmund chocked. I shook my head. "RUN!" Edmund yelled. Just then The White Witch pushed past me. She lifted her crystal knife, and I screamed as I clawed her leg, but that didn't help. She jabbed her knife into Edmund's stomach. She cut down his stomach. I couldn't help it, I cried for my love.

I was screaming. Screaming for my best friend.

"Lucy. Its okay. Wake up." I heard a gentle voice calling to me.

I woke up screaming. My room was lit up from my light. I was panting hard, and sweating a lot. I noticed that I was crying, crying from my dream. My dream felt so real! It made me feel scared, really scared.

"Its fine Lu. Your okay." I looked around my room and seen Susan. She was kneeling right beside me. "What happened?" She asked me. All I could do is shake my head no.

After a few minuets I spoke.

"Edmund. Where is he?" I asked still panting. I couldn't get over my dream. It felt so real!

"He is in his room? Why? What happened? Are you okay?" Susan asked alarmed. "Should I call Peter?" She was now talking mostly to herself. She stood up, but she was still standing by my bed.

"Don't worry. I just need to see him. I will tell you latter." I told her. I shoved my blankets off me. I spun on my bed, so my legs could hang off the side of my bed. I slipped on my slippers, and stood up.

"Are you going to see Ed? Well I'm guessing you are…" Susan asked again. "He is sleeping, he needs his rest." She told me. She was always a motherly figure to me, but now even more. Here in Narnia I didn't need parents, people look up to me, but Susan took up the role of being a mother to me, and Ed as Peter took up the role as a father. They would protect us, and do all the parenting stuff. Well they were way laid back to be our parents.

"Yeah. I need to talk to him." I told her once again. I walked to the end of my bed. I opened my truck, and I grabbed my healing cordial, just encase. "Goodnight Susan." I told her. I turned, and waved to her as I left my room. I ran quickly, and quietly down Cair Paravel's hallways until I got to Edmunds room. I took a deep breath. I was still shook up from my dream.

I tapped on the door three times, and I waited awhile. After a few seconds he came walking to the door, and he then opened the door. He was only wearing some shorts, and a t-shirt, his hair was messy, but in a cute way. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks. Well on the bright side he didn't have cuts anymore…

"Lu! Do you realise the time! What in Aslan's name are you doing!" He whispered angrily. I then felt guilty, I just woke him up in the middle of the night to see if he was still alive…

"I'm sorry. I need to check if you were alright." I whispered. I felt a tear run down my cheek I swiftly turned around and started walking. I am so stupid. Of course he would be alright. Now he probably just hates me…

"Lu, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been angry at you. Come here." Edmund whispered to me. I quickly turned around and ran straight into Edmund's waiting arms.

"I'm sorry, Ed. I just needed to make sure you were alright…" I chocked. I hated seeing him all cut in my dream. I silently thanked Aslan for that. I looked into Edmund's eyes, and his eyes read intense wariness, I now felt bad. He is probably worried for nothing. Just my imagination once again.

"Why would you need to do that. There is no attack coming." Edmund said confused.

"My dream. I-it was horrible!" I whimpered. I closed my eyes and my dream's worst parts played in my head. Edmund had been killed because of us. I whimpered, and my eyes shot open.

"Come. Sit, and tell me about your dream." Edmund said. He led me into his room, and he closed his door and he turned on his light. I wondered over to his bed, and I put my head in my hands, and I rested my elbows on my knees. I felt hot tears escape my eyes, and run onto my hands.

"Lu. What happened you look horrid!" Edmund told me. I whipped my head up to glare at him. I felt new tears flow onto my cheeks.

"Thanks. Every girl wants to hear that they 'look horrid'!" I told Edmund. I thought that he was being a jerk. "You know what. I'll just go to Peter…" I started to tell Edmund. I was already standing and I started to walk towards his bedroom door, but Edmund stopped me. Edmund had grabbed my shoulder lightly, and he spun me around.

"NO! Stay. I'm sorry." Edmund told me. He shaking his head no. "I am such an idiot! Why do I turn everyone against me?" Edmund yelled at himself through clenched teeth.

"Ed. Sorry. I guess I over reacted…" I started to tell him, but Edmund interrupted me.

"No, I am sorry. Please sit, and tell me about your dream." Edmund said worried.

"I don't know Edmund…" I told him. I was worried about what he was going to tell me. He was probably going to tell me that I am a baby…

"Please tell me? I promise that I wont make fun of you." Edmund told me. Okay that fear is gone. Why not tell him. Oh yeah! In my dream it is clear that I love him. What did I get myself into?

"Edmund….." I whined. I didn't want to tell him anything about my dream. He would know that I like him more that just a friend.

"Please. I wont judge you. Promise. I swear on Aslan." Edmund told me confidently, and I believed him. We walked back to his bed, and we both sat at the edge of his bed. I had my hands on my upper legs, and I was fidgeting. Edmund then laid his hand onto of mine. My breathing hitched.

'Stop thinking about him like that. He is only your friend, and will always only be your friend. He is only Edmund. Only Edmund.' I told myself. I calmed down a lot then.

"You can begin." Edmund offered, and I nodded in return.

"Okay. Well I first was in the woods. I had no idea how I got there, but I knew that it was in Narnia. It was really horribly cold. I turned around, a-and there was…" I trailed off. I looked at Edmund for support, and he nodded. He gave me support, and I was glad. I then continued talking. "I saw The White Witch. She… Oh Edmund!" I cried. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and cried into his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around my back, and he pulled me into a tight hug, and he rested his cheek on top of my head. I sighed as I cried silently into Edmunds neck.

"Its fine, Lu. She is dead. Never coming back. It will be fine. Shhhhhh. Its okay." Edmund told me, and I trusted him. I knew that the witch was dead. I saw her die with my own eyes. "What happened next?" Edmund asked me. He was worried about me, and that made me smile the slightest bit.

"Well that witch had her long knife crystal in her hand. She didn't see me, but she seen someone else…" I told Edmund. I started sobbing again.

"Its fine. Who was there?" Edmund pushed.

"Well. Edmund… It was you. Edmund s-she killed you. It was so horrible! I thought you died in real life. I just needed make sure. Oh Edmund!" I whimpered. I was sobbing, and coughing. As soon as I told Edmund about him dieing, his arms tightened. Well who wouldn't be freaked out?

I was covered in sweat, but even still, Edmund wrapped his arms tightly around me. I loved him for that, he didn't care if I was crazy, or ugly, but he would always be there for me. I felt safer around Edmund.

"Edmund. Ed, I am scared. That dream was to real for me. Ed." I whispered worriedly. What if I never see him again.

"Lu, its fine. It was just a dream. You just need to tell me what happened. Every little detail." Edmund told me. I was scared to tell him everything. What if he picked out that I liked him. More importantly, I was scared to relive my dream.

"Edmund. I am so scared. I can't tell you about me dream just yet." I told Edmund. I need to think about how to tell him everything.

"You need to go to sleep." Edmund pointed out. He ran his fingerer under my eyes, catching some tears.

"I can't go back to my room. I know it sounds strange, but I can't leave you. I need to make sure that you will be fine. Is it fine if I stay here for the night?" I asked shyly. As soon as it came out of my mouth I felt embarrassed.

"Yeah that will be fine. I kinda wanted for you to stay…" Edmund said. In the light you could tell his cheeks flush.

Wow. My crush just asked if Ii could sleep in the same room as him, but of course he asked me only as friends. I looked up at Edmund. His dazzling eyes, and his shaggy hair. His pretty lips… Wait, he was waiting for a reply…

"Well I need to grab some things for my room. Is that fine?" I asked Edmund. He nodded in return. I slipped off of his bed, and walked towards Edmund's door.

I walked to my room. I picked out my pillows and a thin blanket. I then walked back to Edmund's room. I knocked on his door again.

"Lucy?" Edmund asked from inside his room.

"Yep. It's me." I answered. I was biting my lip nervously. This is my crush!

"Come in!" He told me.

When I walked in his room, it was all set up for my stay. He had a few chairs put together at the side of his bed. I walked over to it and put my stuff down.

'I guess this is where I am sleeping..' I thought to myself.

"Lu?" Edmund asked in a worried tone.

"Yeah." I call to him. I laid down on the chairs, and I pulled my blanket up to my chin. Edmund came walking out of his washroom. He had a loose t-shirt with baggy shorts on… His Pyjamas.

"Just checking… Do you think we should tell Peter and Susan about your dream in the morning?" Edmund asked me. It looked like he wanted to tell Peter. How could I not agree with his smile?

"Well I have to tell Susan. I promised her. Peter? Yeah we should tell him." I told him. Edmund smiled, and nodded. I love his smile…

"Well goodnight, Lu." Edmund said. He leaned over the chair and kissed my forehead.

"Goodnight, Ed." I said. I heard Edmund climb into his bed. I then fell into a deep, deep dreamless sleep.
