"Dreams of a Prince"
Please enjoy and review!
Blinking her eyes in confusion, Davey found herself standing in a room that was filled with books and concluded that it was a library.
Turning to look over to see if anyone was nearby, she found a young man who looked to be barely 20 years old sitting at a desk, looking eager for a new lesson to be taught to him.
The boy appeared to be a Telmarine based on his olive skin, dark hair and eyes.
Standing in front of the young man was an older gentlemen with a long beard and was wearing glasses who appeared to be a professor based on his clothing.
"Now, what is gong on here?" Davey mused.
"What are we learning about today, Professor?" The boy asked eagerly.
"Today, my Prince, we will be continuing with our lesson on the old rulers of Narnia." The Professor said.
"But I thought we already covered the Kings and Queens of old." The Prince frowned in confusion.
"Yes, I taught you about Kings Peter and Edmund and Queens Susan and Lucy, but I haven't taught you about Princess Davinia." The Professor informed.
"I did not know there was a fifth sibling." The Prince said looking curious.
"No, Davinia was not a sibling of theirs. She was a friend who came to Narnia from a different time than the Kings and Queens did. Davinia also had a dragon that she rode into battle. She was High King Peter's royal vizier and always acted as a voice of reason for the royals. She was also blessed by Aslan himself with the gift of visions. There were rumors that said her gift grew so powerful that she was able to astral project herself outside of her body during these visions, but they were never proven." The Professor explained.
Becoming curious over what she was hearing, Davey moved so that she was sitting on the edge of the table where the Prince was, noticing the awed expression on his face which made him appear younger than he was.
"Did the Princess really have these amazing gifts, Professor?" The Prince asked.
"She did." The Professor nodded.
Taking out a book from one of the many shelves, the Professor flipped open the red colored book and stopped on a page and handed it over to the Prince.
"This is the Princess. This drawing was done of her many years ago on her 21st birthday. She was known as Davinia the Pure and was always seen wearing white, except for when she went out to battle or traveled." The Professor explained.
Taking the book, the Prince stared down at the portrait done of the Princess and his dark eyes grew wide at the sight of her.
Leaning over, Davey smiled at the sight of the picture that had been done of her on her 21st birthday and remembered what a wonderful day that had been.
She and Edmund had gone out to the beach and met a few mermaids who serenaded the two friends with their lovely voices.
Afterwards, they had rushed off into the ocean and played, enjoying the beautiful day while it lasted before it began to rain and they ran inside the palace where Susan and Peter were waiting to scold them for acting like children.
Lucy was amused by their antics while Tumnus brought them some hot tea to drink while they took a bath and changed into dry clothing while Susan and Mrs. Beaver made preparations for Davey's birthday party.
It was a wonderful day and the memory of it made Davey smile and fight off the urge to cry.
She missed her friends dearly and was still depressed over the fact that all of them except for Susan were dead and the old woman would die when Davey was in her twenties.
"I've seen this woman before." The Prince announced.
Stunned, Davey snapped her attention onto the handsome male and found him staring down at her picture, his fingers gently running over the image of her hair.
She was impressed that they had managed to find a paint that matched her hair color.
"What do you mean, Caspian? Princess Davinia has been dead for 1300 years. You couldn't have seen her." The Professor protested.
"Whoa, how many years has it been?" Davey exclaimed in shock.
"Professor, I'm telling you the truth. A few weeks ago, I was out riding Destier and I saw a woman who looked exactly like this wearing a white gown playing with lynx cubs." Caspian, the Prince, insisted.
Eyes growing wide in shock, Davey stared down at Caspian and remembered the other day when she had a dream about Narnia and found a kind black horse.
Was it possible that she had astral projected herself into Narnia?
Aslan had once told her that she would develop the ability to do so, but the only persons he ever did it with was the Great King himself.
Why was she able to do it now?
Was this Prince someone important to Narnia and to Aslan?
"The Princess did have a bond with wildcats." The Professor mused.
"So, could it have really been her? Did I really see the Princess?" Caspian asked eagerly.
"I wouldn't know. Perhaps this girl could be a descendant, but from my knowledge, the Princess never got married and she never had any suitors. She rejected any and all men who introduced themselves to her and tried to court her. The Kings were also protective and tried to keep her virtue protected." The Professor said.
"Ha! Yeah, no kidding. But it wasn't just me, it was also the girls they were insanely protective of, too. You should have seen what they did to the guy who tried to ask out Lucy. That poor fool." Davey shook her head.
"Then what happened? What did I see?" Caspian asked.
"I'm not sure, my Prince. It may be a sign… Something must be changing." The Professor said.
Staring at the two men for a bit longer, Davey felt herself waking up and her vision turned white for a moment.
Gasping in surprise, Davey glanced around her bedroom and found Veemon snoring into the pillow beside her head.
Pushing herself up, Davey groaned as she rubbed at her face, remembering the dream/vision she had.
"Okay, what is going on now? What do you have planned for me, Aslan?" Davey asked as she glanced up at her ceiling.
Even though she had learned that Aslan was the son of God, she never became a religious person.
She didn't pray every night before bed, she didn't go to church every Sunday and she didn't practise anything that had to do with religion.
What she did believe in was Aslan, but she also knew that she couldn't rely on him frequently for everything, but she did tend to talk to him when something important came up, such as the vision of Caspian.
Snorting in his sleep, Veemon slowly woke up and yawned.
"What's going on?" Veemon asked as he sat up and yawned.
"I think we might be going back to Narnia soon." Davey said.
Snapping up into a sitting position, Veemon turned stunned eyes onto the raspberry haired girl who looked worried and was staring off into space with a concerned look on her face.
"Seriously? Why do you think that?" Veemon questioned.
Davey then explained what had happened in her vision and Veemon became curious over it, wondering if they really were going to be returning to Narnia.
What he was trying to figure out was who this Caspian person was and why he was so important that Davey was having visions about him and astral projected somewhere where he could see her.
Shaking off all of the confusing questions that kept swirling around inside of her head, Davey climbed out of bed and rushed off into the bathroom to take a long hot bath.
After her soak in the tub, the raspberry haired girl dried off and got dressed into a pair of jean shorts and a black t-shirt that had a pink outline of a crescent moon on the front.
Once she was dressed, Davey headed out to the kitchen and found Jun sitting at the table with Kari and Yolei while their Digimon were all sitting in the living room in front of the TV munching on cookies.
"What's going on?" Davey asked feeling wary.
The girls had shopping bags with them and that always made the former Princess worry since it meant she would be forced into a makeover that she never asked for.
Kari looked up to smile at Davey and revealed the pink streak that she had in her bangs.
"Whoa, what happened to your hair?" Davey asked.
"I dyed it. What do you think?" Kari smiled.
"It suits you. But why…" Davey trailed off as she looked over at Yolei.
She was surprised to find that Yolei had dyed the ends of her hair a pretty dark purple color that blended nicely with her lavender locks.
"It's Mina's idea. She decided that all of us need to dye our hair to make us stand out and look like we have school spirit in front of everyone." Yolei shrugged.
"Oh, no! No one is dying my hair!" Davey yelled.
"Knew that was coming." Gatomon shrugged.
"She's making a run for it." Hawkmon commented.
"Veemon, start barricading the door!" Davey yelled as she rushed off to her room.
"Get back here!" Yolei yelled.
Jun simply watched as the lavender haired girl tackled the raspberry haired one to the ground, both of them wrestling and yelling at each other.
She knew for a fact that Davey was going easy on Yolei since she was afraid to hurt her friend.
"Davey, everyone on the team has already done it. If you show up without any steaks or something in your hair, then Mina is going to be really pissed." Kari told her.
"I don't care! You guys are not putting that crap in my hair!" Davey yelled.
"The women in our family are pretty vane when it comes to our hair. Don't let it bother you so much." Jun waved her hand.
Poking his head out of the bedroom, Veemon winced as he saw Kari and Yolei both dragging Davey into the bathroom and the dragon knew things weren't going to end well.
(An hour later…)
Ken Ichijouji was staring at a boiling over Davey who looked ready to murder someone.
Yolei and Kari had managed to hold the tanned girl down and dyed the ends of her hair a golden blonde color.
In Ken's opinion, the color suited Davey and it looked lovely with her raspberry hair.
"I still can't believe you two are still living." TK commented.
The group of six teens had gathered outside of an adorable café and knew that the only way to get Davey to not hurt them for the dye job was to eat there and enjoy the sweet treats they sold.
It was pricey, but their lives were on the line, so they would shell out the 4.00$ for the strawberry mint lemonade the girl loved and buy her all of the sweets she liked if it meant she wouldn't get back at them.
"Yeah. I would have thought Davey would have killed you two for touching her hair." Patamon added.
"Oh, don't you worry. I'm planning my revenge as we speak." Davey muttered.
Looking over at Davey who was sitting with a straight back and her arms crossed over her chest and a glare on her face, Kari and Yolei leaned far away from the angered girl and pushed Cody Hida between them.
Yolei knew that Davey wouldn't never raise a hand against Cody, even if he said or did something to enrage her.
"Against Mina." Davey stated making Kari and Yolei relax.
"Yes, get revenge on Mina. This is her fault. It was her idea, not ours." Yolei said happy to throw the redhead under the bus.
"I think the gold looks great on you, Davey." Cody spoke up.
Over the years, Cody had grown taller and his voice had become quite deep.
When the boy had shown up one day to a meeting and his voice turned out to be a deep baritone, everyone had stared at him in shock since they hadn't expected it.
He was going to be very handsome when he reached his final stage of maturity.
"Thanks, but I'm not thrilled about this. You guys know I hate it when junk is put in my hair. I hate it. It's why I refused to get highlights done." Davey huffed.
"Calm down. It'll wash out in a few weeks. You'll be fine." Gatomon said.
"Does that mean we can do you next?" Kari smiled innocently.
Gatomon's fur stood on end and she glared up at Kari who was having a difficult time not bursting out in laughter.
"Anyway, when is this assembly supposed to be again?" Ken asked.
"It's tomorrow. It'll be happening during last period, so the final class will be cut short so we can do it." Yolei explained.
"It seems stupid that everyone will be missing a class just for an assembly." Wormmon commented.
"That's what I was thinking as well." Hawkmon nodded as he sipped his drink.
"Yeah, I mean, it'd make sense if it was for an important reason like career day or talkin' about safety stuff, but other than that, it's stupid." Armadillomon said.
Shaking her head as everyone started talking and getting into debates about certain subjects, Davey couldn't help but smile and enjoy the peace.
She knew that soon she and Veemon would be taken to Narnia once again and she prayed that it wouldn't be for another 15 years.
While they stayed in Narnia, she noticed that everyone began to lose their memories of their friends and families and that fact made her feel depressed.
How could she ever forget about these people sitting around her who had dotted on her after she returned from Narnia and tried to help lift her spirits after she realized she would never see the Pevensies again?
She loved these people and didn't want to ever forget about them.
"Davey, are you okay?" Ken asked.
He noticed that she appeared to be deep in thought and placed a hand on her shoulder to gently awaken her from whatever had captured her attention.
Snapping out of her thoughts, Davey looked over at Ken and noticed the worried expression on his face and gave him a smile.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking about something." She told him.
"You're sure you're okay?" Cody questioned.
"Yeah, don't worry about it. Anyway, does anyone have any plans for the weekend?" Davey asked the group.
Everyone knew that something was wrong with the girl and were worried over what was going to happen.
They didn't want her to become depressed like she had been 3 years ago when she started having those strange nightmares.
"Well, Matt is going to be having a concert with his new band." TK spoke up.
"He's in another new band?" Davey asked in disbelief.
"What's this one called?" Ken asked.
"Knife of Day." TK said.
No one spoke for a moment, but then Davey started laughing at the ridiculous name which made everyone else chuckle.
"I know, it's bad. Believe me, I told him that, but he didn't listen." TK shrugged.
"Please tell me the band at least plays better music than the last band Matt was in." Yolei said.
"They are, believe me. They're much better." TK nodded.
With that said, everyone began to enjoy their day and forgot about the worry that hung over their heads concerning Davey and she decided to push her curiosity over Caspian to the back of her mind.
To be continued…
