Here you go! I know it's been forever since I last updated but I have updated now! Please read and review!
Leo felt a little awkward having Alina crying on his shoulder, and looked to Edmund. But Edmund wasn't looking that way.
"It'll be okay Alina. She'll remember. Sometime. Somehow." Alina kept sobbing. "Sh-she doesn't remember a-any of it!"
Leo was getting fed up with the girls of the group. Polly, Digory, and Eustace had disappeared, Susan kept fainting, or moaning, Alina was being weepy, and Lucy, well she didn't know anything at all about where they were!
"Alina, you will be fine, Lucy will be fine, Susan will be fine, everyone will be fine. Just leave it all up to Aslan and we won't need to worry."
Alina pulled away from him and looked deep into his blue eyes. After a long pause, she nodded.
She shadowed Leo like she normally did after crying. When they had been street kids he had been her protector. If anyone tried to hurt her he would take out his knife and tell them that he wasn't afraid to go to jail. He meant it too. But sometimes Alina would have her own knife and could defend herself. But more often Leo would protect her.
So Alina naturally looked to Leo for protection. Even though they would also tease each other without mercy, they still took care of each other.
Alina suddenly smiled. They were in the cave that they had moved all the weapons to. She saw the four trunks of the kings and queens. They were huge, then she saw her trunk. It was smaller as she was just a Princess, but her entire face lit up. The beautiful cherry wood, and the silver and gold emblems. She loved the lions head on the top, but her favorite was the fauns and dryads dancing around Aslan. She forgot about everyone else as she ran to her chest.
But nobody but Lucy noticed her. Leo was staring at his chest, and the others were staring at theirs. In the next few seconds there was a mad bolt to get to chests. From everyone but Lucy. And Reapacheep of course.
"Queen Lucy? Aren't you going to go over to your chest?" Lucy jumped. She still couldn't get over the fact that the mouse talked.
"My chest?" "Yes. The one right there that no one is at."
Lucy timidly walked over to the chest, and opened it. Her eyes widened at what she saw. A beautiful dress, and a dagger that looked like it would fit perfectly in her hand. As she pulled the long and beautiful dress from the chest something fell from the folds of it. She gasped as it hit the floor, scared it was going to break into a million pieces.
She was surprised, but glad when it didn't.
"Ahh Queen Lucy, it's your cordial." "My what?" Edmund came over, "It's your cordial, it saved my life once. One drop and every injury will be healed." "Oh."
"Oh yeah!" Everyone jumped and spun around to see Leo holding his sword. "I have missed the feel of a sword in my hand, I really have." "But," Came the teasing voice of Alina, "Your sword is no match for my bow and arrows."
Susan groaned, and Lucy just rolled her eyes. She was used to the two of them doing things like this.
Susan had decided that she was going to stay, and be happy, but if Aslan said she had to go home she would kill herself. That was what she had decided.
Peter had decided to get Aslan alone if he could and beg for his sister to get to stay. For all of them to stay actually, but mostly Susan. She had the hardest time going back to England and staying.
Edmund was ready to fight any battle necessary. He felt like himself again now that he had his sword in his hand.
Leo was watching Alina. He didn't feel safe with her having a weapon in her hand. However him with a weapon was perfectly safe!
Alina was watching Edmund. He had just put on a flowing cape. She was sure that if he didn't get in the way she could shoot his cape to the wall. She almost laughed aloud thinking about it.
Reapacheep watched the children. Peter had grown, as had the others. But it showed the most in Peter.
His voice was deeper, and his shoulders were wider. He looked as much of a king if not more than he ever had.
He watched as the girls pulled long flowing Narnian dresses from their chests. And then watched the boys pull the Narnian style trousers and shirts from their chests.
Reapacheep could tell that both the boys and the girls wanted to change into comfortable Narnian clothing, but the girls didn't want to change in front of the guys, and the guys didn't want to change in front of the girls.
"Well! Edmund, Peter, Leo, would you three like to turn your backs so the girls can change?"
The boy's did, and the girls changed. When the boys and Reapacheep were given permission to turn around, all of them had to catch their breath.
There they stood.
Susan had on a burgundy gown long and full, and she had found a sash that she turned into a large hair ribbon that she tied at the bottom of her quickly braided black hair.
Alina had a soft light brown dress, also long and full, it made her copper hair look even more copper.
Lucy however was the most beautiful. Her soft brown hair was at her waist, and was wearing a full long forest green dress. She had even put on a delicate chain of gold with a lions head on the end.
"Now the girls turn around!" Soon they were all dressed in Narnian attire, and ready to meet King Caspian the tenth.
