Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING STOP ASKING!
Okay guys I am soooo sorry! But I was really sick, and I am not just talking like a cold, I am talking fever and delusions and everything so it is not really my fault. This chapter might not be that good as I am still trying to get over the sickness but I updated so be happy!
Chapter 53 (3): Dancing
It was only after Hailey was sitting up laughing and smiling as she hugged her dog that she noticed what was going on around her. Peter (after he had made sure that Edmunds leg was alright) was off helping to secure the Telmarines forces, Lucy was running around with her cordial administering to others, Caspian was talking to a Telmarines general off to the side, Edmund was giving instructions to the Narnians, and Susan was sitting beside Hailey a concerned look on her face
"Are you okay?" The queen asked looking into her friends grey eyes.
Hailey checked herself over before saying "Yeah, I think so."
Susan smiled at the girl; everything was going to be okay. Narnia was free, her brothers were safe, Aslan was with them, and Hailey was laughing again.
&#&#&#&#&
Dawn rose over the Narnian trees making the clouds turn florescent pink.
Hailey was sitting on the same rock she had stood the day before the battle of Beruna overlooking the land. The last day had been a total blur of running around, securing enemies, and healing the wounded.
It's funny, it feels as though Peter and the rest never left. It's like they had been here the whole time… Hailey thought her head on her knees. She was sore, her legs ached and her arms were tired. Though the cordial would cure you the pain did not always automatically go away. Hailey had been told how the cordial had not work at first and she had coughed it up, as far as she knew that had never happened before. But also Hailey had never had to use the cordial before; she would have to ask Aslan about that later.
"You look tired Hailey you should go back to bed." Said the fair haired boy as he sat next to the girl on the rock and looked at the view.
"Morning to you as well Caspian." Hailey said with a soft smile.
He smiled back, however it was easy to tell that it was a forced smile as Caspian just started ahead at the sky.
"You're thinking about something?" Hailey asked looking at him, her curiosity being to peek back into Hailey's nature.
"Nothing you have not heard before I am sure." Caspian said with a soft chuckle.
"It is likely." Hailey replied she too giggling.
"You know the whole 'King' thing, I'm not ready."
Hailey laughed quite amused. "You are more ready that most of the Kings who ruled Narnia."
Caspian raised an eyebrow. Hailey clarified. "Once there was a prince who became King when he was nine because both his parents died."
Caspian with a sad smile said "He wins I guess"
They sat in silence and then Caspian spoke. "So what are you planning on doing?"
Hailey sighed and slumped her shoulders "depends…"
"On?"
"Whether the King with keep me as a Lady or not."
Caspian smirked but Hailey was still talking "However you don't want to ask him right out, he is a little egocentric."
Shock crossed Caspian's face "Hey! For that you will have to live in a closet Lady Hailey."
Hailey smiled, she was going to be court once again.
"Plus" Caspian added "though I am more experienced than some who have ruled I think it will be nice to be able to ask advice from someone who has seen it all."
"I wound not say all…"
"I would." Susan had snuck up behind them as they had been talking.
"Do we no longer say good morning?" Hailey asked crossing her arms in distaste.
"Good morning Hailey!" Said Lucy bounding up the field holding a stack of toast she passed with to everyone including Edmund and Peter who had followed the girls.
"Thanks Lu" Hailey said helping herself to the food and looking back at the rising sun.
"Did you have to wake up so early…?" Peter groaned leaning on his brother shoulder. It was known that whenever Edmund woke up so did Peter and unfortunately for Peter Edmund was a early riser.
Hailey laughed as Edmund said "There is Peter for you, ever the early riser. You could have stayed in bed."
Peter didn't answer instead he seemed to lean a bit too hard causing the black haired brother to fallddd onto this sister, who then fell on Caspian who in turn fell on Lucy and Hailey was the last under the pile.
"Really Peter?" Susan said from somewhere in the tangle of limbs.
"S'not my fault Edmund is weak." Came Peter reply "Ouch Lucy!"
"Not Lucy, that was me," Edmund said "I think your strangling me though.
"Am not that's Caspian."
"I don't think so, tis more likely I'm breaking someone's leg."
"That is mine get off!"
"Oh Aslan this is ridicules."
And with that they suddenly found themselves lifted off the blonde girl and dumped unceremoniously in their own respective corners of the grass. Hailey then stood dusted herself off and turned to look at the Kings, Queens and Prince.
"Really? All I wanted to do was enjoy the sunrise, and instead I have a bunch of bratty children falling on top of me, I just won't have it."
However before she could turn and walk a few steps for dramatic effect Max came from behind her, knocked her to the ground, stood on her back and said "So I heard there was toast out here…"
The laughter of the six children's voices rang across the field bringing a smile to the faces on the True Narnians.
&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&#&
It was Susan and Lucy who decorated the ugly court room of the Telmarine Castle for the coronation making sure every detail was ready for the new king.
Hailey was placed in charge of the food. Something (when after days of eating almost nothing) she was totally happy with.
The coronation itself was beautiful and heartbreaking. Peter passed over the crown as Aslan said the words of pass-over to the new King.
Then Caspian made a vow. One that Hailey knew would one day come true, and she was sure she would somehow be involved.
Then there was the dancing.
Hailey, as always tried to avoid this part of the celebration all together preferring to stand in the corner instead falling all over the dance floor.
However it was not long till they found her. Lucy was first; she dragged the girl off onto the dance floor and spun her around for a while until a fawn asked the queen to dance.
Next was Peter, who had been dancing with the granddaughter of the Kings old nurse. Peter had spun the girl off to a man who had been eyeing the girl the whole time and came to face to face with Hailey who had just been trying to get off the dance floor. Peter however grinned grabbed her hands and spun her across the floor right into her next dancer, Edmund. The dark haired King had laughed when the girl had spun into him before he spun her back to Peter who in turn did the same. Hailey was pretty sure she was going to be sick. Until Susan, who had been dancing with Caspian spun across the same path as her landing in Peter's arms just as Hailey landed in Edmund's. Lucy who saw the whole thing laughed as Caspian and her waltzed pasted.
"I think I am going to be sick." Hailey said smiling up at Edmund who laughed,
"What to sit down?"
"No! I haven't dance since Susan's Birthday a month before you jerks left me."
"Well then I guess you need to dance some more." And over Hailey head he winked at someone, then Hailey found herself once again spinning around only this time halfway she fell onto Caspian who caught the girl before she hit her head letting go of Lucy as he did so. Lucy laughed and ran off to dance with her brother who was laughing.
"Ug" Hailey said righting herself and looking at the New King. "I warn you most dances are like this."
"How many Narnian Holidays are there?" Caspian asked as the two moved across the dance floor.
"Twenty-seven." Hailey said as she saw Susan dancing with Peter and Edmund at the same time. "However I am sure the Narnians have forgotten about at least eight of theses…"
Caspian laughed at what the Lady had suggested. "I am sure they have Lady Hailey."
Hailey laughed, it felt good to be called that again…
Again sorry about mistakes but i was really sick and my brain is muttled...
Please review!
