RavenPaw's POV...
I saw him reach his hand out and I flinched. He smiled reassuringly and stroked my soaked brown fur. His hand was cold or maybe it was just me, I am not very sure. His eyes were dark brown, but they were filled with light. My eyes were hard and bored into his. He smiled and took off his cloak and lay it over my body. It was warm. I lifted my head up and asked this person who he was.
"Who are you?"
"Oh yes, I'm King Edmund The Just." he said.
I jumped up and bowed slightly. I felt so stupid.
"My greatest apologise King Edmund, I did not know I would ever be seen here." I said and heard a chuckle.
I looked up and tilted my head slightly.
"Don't be daft RavenPaw, please call me Edmund. I do not like formalities. What are you doing here any way?" he said with a smile.
"I often come into the gardens to look over the ocean. It gets awfully lonely, seeing as I'm a lone wolf. Edmund I have something to tell you something..." I said as I swished my tail, brushing the snow away revealing the green, beautiful grass. We sat next to each other.
"What do you need to tell me..." he asked, a hint of seriousness in his voice.
"Well I'm a wolf, as you know, but that's only in during the night. See when the moon has gone to sleep for the sun to awaken I turn into a girl." I said.
Edmund's POV...
We were sitting on the grass. She was a beautiful wolf. You may think I should be afraid of wolves. But I couldn't hurt her. Really you shouldn't be thinking about this Edmund! My mind shouted and I shook everything off. I smiled at her as she was telling me and then it hit me.
"Your a girl, during the day? How come no one ever sees you?" I asked and she sighed and she looked at me.
"I stay in the woods during the day. Your sisters are always wondering threw the gardens. I do not wish to be seen in either form, but I think I failed that." she said with a wolf laugh.
"How did you become a lone wolf Raven?" I asked as I petted her head.
"I was a wolf cub. I was with my mother and my father, they were teaching me how to hunt." she let a tear roll down her face, which matted the fur on her cheek.
"Then we were in the middle of the woods when a man appeared. He had a jet black horse and well he killed off my parents. I managed to hide away, seeing as I was small enough to hide in a hole that was near by. I heard him leave and crawled out. The image I saw next scared me for life. My father's white fur was stained red, and my mothers black fur was also blood stained." she cried out.
"Oh... Raven I'm so so sorry." I said wrapping an arm around her furry body.
"Thank you Edmund but, enough about me, tell me about you..." she said with a sniff as she lay down and rested her head on my lap.
I gaped a little and then smiled a little stroking her head softly.
"Well were do I start." I said, chuckling.
She whined a little and said,
"At the beginning..."
I smiled and said,
"Well first off, I'm not from here... None of the monarchs are from here. We are from a different world. I know your probably finding this ridiculous but..." she cut me off,
"No, carry on I like it." she smiled up at me with a wolf smile.
"Well we came in here, threw a magic wardrobe 3 years ago. I fell to the White Witch and was counted among traitors, until the Battle of Beruna, where I helped by smashing the Witches wand. In that battle I was very close to death."
She gasped and a couple more tears matted her fur, but I quickly whipped them away.
"Shhh it's okay, I'm fine now, well when I say fine, I'm not really. I can't sleep as I have nightmares about what I did all those years ago. I've changed now and I have become a better person. I changed for the better and not the worse." I said with a smile. I lay down on the grass and looked to the stars.
RavenPaw's POV...
I was so happy to have met Edmund, we almost had similar pasts. By similar I mean, they were both pretty crap. But as he said we have changed for the better and not for the worst. He ran his hand down my body and whispered,
"Your so skinny, do you not eat Raven?"
See I don't hunt any more. I don't wish to hurt any species that live around Cair Paravel or anywhere in Narnia. I haven't really hunted for years but I have lived for so long.
"I do not wish to kill anything. I haven't eaten for many years." I whispered back.
"I tell you what, why don't I bring you something tonight?" Edmund said as we both sat up.
I wagged my tail and smiled. He would really do that for me? My mind said slightly overwhelmed. I mentally laughed. I pounced on him and licked his cheek. He laughed and hugged me.
"Yes please if it is no trouble Edmund. Do you have to go now?" I said, as sadness filled my green eyes. He was my only friend and I would miss his company.
"I am sorry Raven but I must leave now the moon is leaving us for today and I must get back inside before I am suspected. I will meet you here, same place, same time tonight." He said as he planted a kiss on my head.
He ran swiftly threw the snow, I then realised his cloak was still on the ground. I looked up and shouted,
"Edmund! Your cloak!"
"Keep it. You need it more than I do." He shouted, humorously as he ran threw the huge double doors.
I can't be in love with a King, that can't happen, can it? I said mentally as I looked to the sky to see the moon leaving us and the sun starting to rise. I let out a howl as I grabbed the cloak and ran deep into the safety of the woods for the day. Until tonight when I get to see my friend again.
