A/N: This is just a little filler chapter that I hope will hold you over until I can update again. I am trying to keep 9 or 10 extra chapters written that way if I hit a MAJOR road block when it comes to writing I can still update some, and I just finished writing chapter 11 so I decided to post this.
I promise that chapter 3 will be longer. This chapter is still in Lucy's POV, and the little bit that is at the beginning that is in italics is just a recap of the end of last chapter.
I had one reviewer who said that they thought Caspian was a little annoying, I hope that this is not the case in this chapter, but I do think that he is out of character.
Disclaimer: No, I do not own Narnia.
"But why did you choose to stay here instead of going back to England? In England you have your family and friends, and who do you have here? Nobody."
"That's not true Caspian" I whisper "I have you." Every word I just said was completely true; I had him, I had Trumpkin, and most people in Narnia seemed to like me so I most likely won't have problems making friends, I just didn't voice the last part.
"I'm flattered, but… what am I next to your family; your blood relatives?" he replied calmly, I thought I caught a bit of nervousness… but maybe not, it might just be my mind playing tricks on me.
"I don't know…" I mumble, finally tearing my eyes away from his gorgeous chocolate brown ones "it felt like the right thing to do" 'really Lucy?! That is your excuse?' I think to myself as I stare at the ground.
"'It felt like the right thing to do' hmm? Okay, if you say so" he replied, although I could tell he was not convinced whatsoever, he just knew not to push.
"Look Caspian, all I know is that for some queer reason I thought that I could stay here, only knowing you and Trumpkin while leaving behind my family, okay? And besides you're acting very weird today and I want to know why."
"Me? You're the one who was almost 30 minutes late for breakfast, and you pride yourself on being on time. I was worried you had run off in the middle of the night because you missed your family and it finally hit you that you are NEVER going to see them again, and while you were out there had gotten attacked by a…a bear or something!" He replied his voice getting raised.
"Why would I have done that? I would have done one of two things and that is neither of the options, I either would have just sat in my room and cried myself to sleep or I would've come and gotten you!" I said with my voice raised just as much if not a little louder than his.
"I'm sorry I raised my voice" he said in a very soft, calm tone that I've never heard from him before. "Running away for a while in the middle of the night I what I would've done; what I wanted to the night I found out that my father was dead, and I would have too if it hadn't been for uncle Miraz. Just promise me you'll remember one thing okay?"
"What?"
"Promise me that you'll always remember you can talk to me about your family if you need to okay? Remember I know what it's like to not have any family, or at least any decent family."
"Okay Caspian, I will." I promised, looking straight into his eyes "and I'm sorry too."
"What are you sorry for?"
"For raising my voice too. And it would probably be better if we waited a day or two until you fill me in on everything because right now my mind is a complete mess, and I can't figure anything out, and I just need some time to adjust okay?"
"I can give you a week at tops." He says gently.
"I don't think I'll need that long, but thanks Caspian."
"You'd be surprised; uncle Miraz gave me a full two weeks out of my lessons after he killed my father."
"Wow. Would you like to go back in or do you want to talk some more?"
"Why don't we talk some more, you and me don't really know each other that well and if we are going to rule together we need to know each other at least a little." And with that we walked and talked.
End A/N: I hope to have the next chapter up in about a week, that is my overall goal; to update once a week. I hope to maybe, possibly have the next chapter up in 5 or 6 days at most, since NCIS and NCIS: LA just had their season finale's last week I will have a couple extra hours to write tonight, but I make no promises.
If you could just take a minute or two and hit to hit the review button and tell me what you think I would love you forever :)
