So chapter 2 I'm excited that people are liking this I posted it on a whim I have been writing it for months. And someone said they like how I'm portraying peter and I love that too. I always saw him as shy around women. Really you go through your teen years with no father to let you in on girls to me you wouldn't be too comfortable around them. And I see him as sweet and kind and the only reason he is at complete butt in prince Caspin is the year he spent in London made him bitter. But please let me know what you think.

Chapter 2

Emma

As I laid down to try to go back to sleep I couldn't help but look down at Peter on the ground. He was laying on his side facing me with a small blanket. His head was on my pack, one hand on his sword. I couldn't help but feel grateful that he found me. I knew I couldn't last another day or two lost in those woods. When I woke up and found myself warm and felt Peters arms around me I was scared but then a feeling of complete safety. Even though I was in a man's arms that I didn't know somehow something in my head told me it was ok. When I woke up and saw Peter it was odd at first. But as I laid there looking at him as he slept I heard a voice in my head. Trust him. Then he woke up and he was the one who saved me brought me here he even laid in the bed with me to try to warm me up. And I had to admit to myself it felt good to be in someone's arms when everything felt it was going wrong. Being in Narina was hard to believe but then again it explained a lot. I would just have to get more information later on. That next morning I was woken up to hearing Peter talk to someone. I then remembered that he told me about his brother and that must be him.

"Hey Pete we need to wake her we're leaving soon." I didn't want to get out of bed after two days of being cold to my very bones the bed felt like heaven. And I could go for Peter getting back in bed. Oh why Emma are you thinking that you barely know him.

"I know she needs her eat." My stomach silently growled at me agreeing with Peter.

"I'll get food for her while you wake her and pack." It didn't take long for Peter to walk over to me . I felt him touch my hand. He picked it up his hand was rough, callous lined his palm he may be a king but he wasn't a pampered one. He ran his thumb over my knuckles and I couldn't help it any longer I opened my eyes to look at him.

Peter

I knew I shouldn't be holding her hand but I couldn't help but too. Her hands were smooth soft despite spending two days alone in the woods. I looked up to her face she was looking at me with a smile on her face. Her stormy gray blue eyes stared at me her head on her pillow and her hair spread out around her.

"Good morning" she suppressed a yawn as she blinked up at me.

"Yes good morning to you too." She was biting her lip and looking up at me shyly. It was the cutest look she had given me yet. Stop that Peter you can't think like that about her.

"We're going to be moving out soon. Edmund went to get you some breakfast. And your clothes are dry I'll step outside so you can change." I let go of her hand and placed her dry folded cloths on the cot. I left her and stepped right outside the tent. It was then Ed walked up to me with some food.

Before he could ask I said, "She's changing what did you find for her?"

"Some bread and dried venison don't have much more than that." I heard something behind me and turned to see Emma dressed in her cloths. Her messy hair was pulled up at the base of her neck her tan coat zipped up and her hands in her pockets.

"Hi." She smiled at Ed, "And I you must be demand right."

"Yes", Ed smiled at her as he smiled back, "here I got you breakfast would you like to go inside were its warm to eat." Ed held out the try to her.

"Sure I have had enough of the cold for a while." All three of us walked back inside Edmund placed the food on out small table. I held the chair out for Emma to sit she pulled her coat off and sat down. Picking the bread up and ate a small piece, "Ummm I- I hope you don't mind that I'm still wearing your shirt."

"I don't mind at all you need more layers. Also", I went and pulled out a spare cloak, "it's not very warm but you can wear it over your coat." I placed it over her coat on the chair, "I uh I uh didn't tell you last night but Narnia and home there two different places. We came here though a wardrobe." I then went to explain how we got here the war in England and Narnia then how we ruled. How Narnia has talking animals, centaurs, dwarfs, talking trees, and so much more. When I finally finished she looked up at me, "What war did you get away from?"

"The war with Germany." What other war would there be there's only one war going on back home.

"Germany the Nazis?" She looked up at us confused I couldn't understand why she would be.

"Yes who else."

"Peter I'm from 2012 the war has been over for like 60 years." Sixty years, we have been here for sixty years for back home. Oh Aslan what have we done mum and dad must think us dead. I would be an old man by bow if I was there. It then hit me "That's why you're dressed oddly. The coat, pants, and shoes very different from what we wore back in England." This was more to myself than anyone else it had accord to me that she wasn't from here but having her admit it made it clear. But sixty years was a long time and it looked like it had a major effect on how things are.

"Yeah but why did I come here I mean you guys came through a wardrobe I was just hiking."

"Well Aslan doesn't bring someone here for any reason. So you are her for a purpose we just don't know it yet. I'm sure he will show us when the time is right."

"So what do I do. I don't fit in I don't know how to live here." Emma folded her arms and put her head on her arms. She was lost I could feel it and I wanted to make her feel better but didn't know how.

"It will be alright we learned and so can you". I couldn't help but put my hand on her shoulder. She looked up at me biting her lip she nodded at me and Ed. It was then Orious stuck his head in, "My kings my lady we must go." Emma's eyes widened when she saw Orious standing there.

"Thank you Orious we will be out in a moment." Orious backed out of the tent as he went to wait for us outside.

"You weren't kidding," she whispered as she watched Orious leave.

"No and you will see more so we should get ready to go. Ed I will meet you by the horses." Ed came over to put his hand on my shoulder and leaned close to my ear, "What do you have planned?"

"I don't want the others to know where she is from. It's going to bring up to many questions we don't have answers too." I took a look at Emma putting her coat on.

"That's going to be harder than you think." I knew that but I wanted to protect her from it.

"I know but it will buy us time to figure out why Aslan sent her."

"Alright I'll go ready the horses." Ed patted me on the shoulder before going outside. I watched Ed go and turned to, "Emma are you ready to go?"

"Yes," she was standing there with the cloak in her hands coat and shoes on. I walked over to her and took the cloak from her, "Here let me help you." I draped the cloak around her shoulder and fastened it. I pulled it around to cover her coat. "It looks good on you." The dark green fabric covered her to her toes and fell to the floor about four inches to long. She really did look beautiful despite her mused up hair and cloths that were too big for her.

"It's really long will that be ok." She played with the cloak moving it around.

"It's my spare one but we will be riding so you won't have to walk too much." She nodded at me, "Well we should go." Emma followed me out of the tent to my horses side.

"This is my horse Grant," I took his reins and patted him on his side. Emma walked over next to me and reached up to pet his neck. I could smell her hair as she stood next to me. The strawberry sent came to me in the gently breeze. She barely came up to my shoulders but her personality was so much bigger.

"He's a very big horse and I'm spouse to ride him." She made me laugh, "Yes but I will be riding him with you and despite his size he's very nice." I stepped up and pulled myself up on the saddle. "You ready to try to get up here." She nodded and with wide eyes looked up to the saddle. "Put your left foot here." I pointed to the stir up, "hold on to here" I placed both of her hands on the horn of the saddle and "pull yourself up don't worry if I will help you." I watched as Emma hopped three times and on the third hop she started to pull herself up. She managed to get her other leg over but started to slip before she could fall I took her arm and pulled her the rest of the way up behind me. "You ok."

"Yeah, still a bit weak from the cold." She didn't sound right and started to cough I turned around as best I could to check on her. She held her hand to her mouth and her face was red but she was fairly ok. "Move closer to me and hold on to me until you get used to it."

"Ok." I moved my cloak around to cover her more and then felt her move closer to my back. I felt her legs right behind mine and her small hands came around my waist I touched her hands before giving the horse a small lick to start moving. Emma didn't say much while we road back to Cair Parvil. A few hours after we started I felt Emma lean on me more. Ed was riding beside me and took a look at her, She's asleep how can she sleep on a horse."

"She needs to sleep I think she may be getting sick." I felt her weight on my back and for some odd reason it felt good.

"What makes you think that?" Ed eyebrows pulled together as he ducked a branch.

"The way she coughed earlier but there's little to be done about it right now. Let 'me know if she looks like she's going to fall off." I moved to touch her hands they were cold, small and held her so close to me.

"I will Pete but why do you feel you need to take care of her."

"She looks like she needs someone she's looks so lost." I couldn't help but see her face when she woke up in the tent. How scared and lost she looked.

"I think I'm meant to look after her. So I will until I feel I don't need to anymore."

"Pete look there's Cair we're almost home" Ed smiled and looked ahead.

"A few more hours the girls will be happy." Ed and I fell into silence as we watched Cair grow bigger as we got closer. I soon felt Emma move behind her head lifted off my shoulder blades she had fallen asleep.

"Your awake I reached down and squeezed her hands." They were still cold and I hoped she won't get sick because of it. If I only had some gloves.

"How long have I been asleep?" She let go with on hand and I could image she rubbed her eyes.

A while look. I pointed to Cair, "That's where we are going."

"Really its huge." Her chin was almost on my shoulder as she looked at Cair that made me happy she was comfortable with me.

"You get used to it, just a few more hours and we will be there." I stared at our home is couldn't wait to get there. To sleep in my bed and see my sister.

"Good," she coughed again worse than last time. "Are you getting sick?" This had me worried that she would spend days in bed once we got home.

"Maybe, just be the cold." I didn't have much more I could do for her to keep her warm besides stopping and starting a fire.

"Are you cold?"

A little just my hands and ears. I put my hand over hers around my waist she was right they were still cold. Thankfully not as cold as they were last night.

"Pull your hood up its really warm." She slid her hands from under mine and raised her hood up then placed her hands back. I covered hers with my hands again as she leaned on to me again. I was hoping that my hand would warm hers some. When we got close to Cair we wanted to pick up the pace. I released her hand and told her to hold on. Her grip tightened as we speed forward. I laughed as she yelped and grabbed at my hands. A horns then blared letting everyone know about our arrival. Once we got though the gates Lucy and Susan were running out of the castle doors as we came to a stop before the steps.

Edmund peter they both yelled as they ran towards us there dresses blown back as they ran. Ed was hugging Lucy as I slid off my horse and turned to help Emma down. I put my hands on her waist and helped her jump down. She came down a little bit closer than I thought and she wound up being in my arms instead. She just smiled up at me her hands on my chest mine on her waist. Someone cleared there throat, "So Peter are you going to introduce us or just stand there."

"Sorry." I let Emma go and we turned to Susan and Lucy. "Emma this is Susan and Lucy my younger sisters, girls this is Emma." I couldn't help but place my hand on her back to keep her close to me.

"It's nice to meet you. I didn't know Peter was going to bring home a girl." Lucy smiled at us.

"I'm sure he will explain Lu," Susan looked at Emma, "It's nice to meet you. Are you wearing Peters cloak?"

"Yes he let me borrow it." Emma picked at the fabric I could tell she was a little bit embarrassed by what Susan said.

"Well let's get you three inside so you can clean up." We all went inside and headed up to our rooms. I pulled Suzan aside, "Can you get Emma some dresses she's not from Narina. I will explain later but she needs new cloths. I think some of your old cloths would work. I just want her warm and dry she maybe getting sick."

"I will get her a few dresses for now until I can have some made for her. But you will tell us what's going on." Susan gave me her look of your telling me everything or else.

"I will Su met me in the sitting room in about half an hour." Suzan nodded at me I gave her a kiss on the cheek them went to Emma. "Susan is going to take you to get cleaned up and show you a room she's also going to get you some dresses. I will see you soon." I picked up her hand and gave it a small kiss on the top of her hand, she blushed bright red. Good going Pete embarrass her some more why don't you. I turned around and went to my room.
