Author's note: Hey guys! I literally don't have anything else to say... Anyways, on to the story.
Elizabeth's POV
Our little journey across was pretty easy, other than the pounding in my head. I kept walking though, Edmund right next to me.
"Are you feeling alright, Beth?" He asked
"I think I could be better" I responded
"The problem?"
"My head" I said
"So how has my twin sister been holding up these past few thousand years?" He asked
"Everything went quite well actually. Though, I missed you four more than I thought I ever-"
Then I passed out.
Edmund's POV
I caught Beth as she passed out just a few seconds before she hit the ground. I didn't know why, but I had a feeling that it would happen, so I was ready when it did.
"What happened to Eli?" I heard Susan ask
"I don't know, she said that her head hurted and then... she passed out" I responded
We made it across the gorge, with me carrying Beth. It was dark by then, so Peter and Trumpkin made a fire and I set Beth on the ground near it. She woke up soon after.
"Ed?"
"Hey" I said "Feeling any better?"
"The headache's gone"
I sat on the ground next to her and helped her as she tried to sit up. I laid her head on my chest to stop her from falling back down.
"Why do you think you didn't come back with us?" I asked
"I don't know. Maybe it was because I wasn't riding with you guys when you left" She said "How did mum react when she saw that I didn't come back with you?"
"She didn't" I responded
"What does that mean?" She asked, a slight frown flickering over her usually soft features
"When she saw that you weren't with us when we came back, she never asked about you. In fact, no one did." I told her "It was as if... you never existed there"
I saw a sad look cross her face for a split-second. If anyone else had seen her face at that moment, they wouldn't have seen it, but as her twin I knew that it happened. I hugged her a bit tighter.
"Do you think, if I came back with you this time... they would remember who I was?" She asked
"I honestly don't know. Maybe they would." I said
We sat there in silence for a few seconds before she yawned and I helped her lay back down. Soon after, she was asleep and so was I.
Elizabeth's POV
I was woken when someone shook me.
"Eli, wake up." It was Peter
I hummed in response, still half asleep.
"Lucy's missing." He said
That woke me up completely. I ran into the forest at those words, with Peter right behind me, Edmund, Susan, and Trumpkin trailing behind. I found Lucy and got to her first.
"Aslan?" She asked, starting to walk from her hiding spot but I grabbed her and covered her mouth
Peter placed a finger on his lips, signaling us to stay quiet, and snuck up behind the Minotaur that was standing in the forest. I looked closer and realized that he was part of our army. I opened my mouth to stop Peter but he unsheathed his sword and that's when Prince Caspian jumped out of nowhere and started battling Peter. Somewhere during their fight, Peter got his sword stuck in a tree and Caspian took it out and pointed it at Peter. Peter picked up a large rock and he moved to hit Caspian with it, but he never got the chance.
"No, Stop!" I yelled
Suddenly a large portion of the army of Narnians hurried into view.
"Your majesty! You've returned!" Glenstorm exclaimed
"Yes and I've stopped these two idiots before one of them killed the other." I replied
Peter and Caspian looked at each other in silence before Peter broke it.
"I'm guessing you're prince Caspian." He said, glaring at him
"Yes, and who are you?" Caspian asked
Peter didn't need to answer as Susan, Edmund, and Trumpkin showed up and Susan yelled his name. Caspian looked at the hilt of Peter's sword and saw 'High King Peter' inscribed onto it.
"High King Peter." He stated in shock
"I believed you called?" Peter asked
"I just... thought you'd be older." Caspian responded
"If you'd like, we could come back in a few years." Peter said
"No!" He yelled "No, that's alright. You're just... not what I expected." Caspian said, glancing at Susan
I could see her look down slightly from the corner of my eye.
"Well neither are you." Edmund said
At the How
We were sitting in the room with the stone table making plans for the night raid at the Telmarine Castle tonight. I wasn't paying attention. I was never one to like being at meetings, even back in the golden age. I was more zoned out while pretending to listen to everything that Peter said.
"Lizzie! Eli!" I finally heard Peter calling
I looked at him.
"I've been calling your name for the past minute." He said
"Sorry, I wasn't really paying attention." I said "What was it you were saying?"
"Do you want to come to the battle with us or do you to stay here?" He asked
"I want to go." I responded
"Fine, but you're staying with Ed." He said
After that, I stopped listening again. Before I knew it, I was getting ready to go.
