4. ASLAN SAID

I wake up in the woods, with 4 narnian soldiers looking over me. They were humna, but Narnian. I sighed. Wait, Peter? Susan?
Edmund?
"Where's-" I start, but a quite mean looking soldier cuts me off.
"Your siblings are over there" He says, pointing to a tree, not far from me "And I'd like to know why you call yourselves kings and
queens of Narnia"
"We are" I say "I'm queen Lucy the Valiant" I admit truthfully.
"Oh yeah right! Look at you! Your way too young, and Aslan said you wouldn't return, so there you have it! Your fakes!" The soldier
shouts.
"No..." I start, but then I have a horrible head ache from that, that, whatever it was. "What did you hit me in the head with?"
"Well, we're sorry for accidently hitting you in the head, and it was with this-" He says pointing to a big metal pole they had probably
found in the woods "-pole"
"You hit me in the head?" I say sarcastically "With a pole? It would've made much more sence if it were a sword" I explain. The
soldier looks angry "Alright, I'm sorry" I apologize.
"Just take us to the King" Susan asks the soldiers.
"Fine. King Caspian wont believe you though" A soldier shrugs.
"Oh, trust me, he will" Edmund says. We follow the soldiers towards a big castle.
"You alright from that pole hit, Lu?" Peter asks me, rubbing my shoulder.
"Yeah, I'm ok, only a head ache" I half-lie. It really hurt, but I'm ok, which is odd.
We finally reach the castle and the soldiers pull us into a throne room, where Caspian waits.
"Caspian!" I say, trying to get out of the soldiers grip to hug him. But the soldier pulls me back.
"Oh my God...how did you return?!" He asks happily.
"I don't know, I searched every day for a way to get back!" I admit. He chuckles, but the soldier interrupts him.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, your highness, but these four say that they are the Kings and Queens of old"
Caspian nods.
"They are" He says "Queen Lucy" He says gesturing to me "High Queen Susan" He says gesturing to Susan, but Susan tries to avoid,
knowing she's tried so hard to forget about him "High King Peter" He says gesturing to Peter, and then finally gesturing to Edmund,
he says "King Edmund"
"I'm sorry your highness, I just thought, because Aslan said they could never return, that they wouldn't" The soldier says.
"Aslan did say that he was with us in England, so I knew I could get to him, and here we are" I say proudly "They didn't believe me
though" I say pointing to Peter, Susan and Edmund.
"Why ever not?" Caspian asks "Anythings possible if you just believe it is, like Lucy did" Caspian adds. I chuckle at this, it's a line
from a very cheesy movie I saw at the theatre about a year ago. But how would he know? Oh well. They all sigh, embarrised.
"Haha" I say mockingly. "Uh, Caspian, can I ask you something?" I ask. He nods. "Um, well, I don't really enjoy wearing skirts" I
whisper "And, Uh, erm, kind of, you know, miss that waist coat" I admit.
"Well we kept them for you" Caspian says "And all your items. They were all transported from the dawn treader to here. I have them
right here"
He walks over to a big locked box under his throne. He unlocks it with a key in his pocket, and it has differnet departments.
"A ha!" He says, taking out Susan's bow and arrows "I believe this is yours" He says, carefully handing it to Susan. She blushes, and
tries to hide it.
"Thank you" She says silently.
"No problem" Caspian replies. Then he takes out her horn and hands it to her as well as also giving her a beautiful dress and some
t-shirts and trousers. He then takes out my healing cordiel and dagger on my belt.
"Yay" I squel silently "That was embarrasing" I say to myself, going red probably.
"Here" Caspian says and hands them to me, as well as getting my white blouse, red waistcoat that matches my hair, and the trousers
I wore on the dawn treader and giving them to me.
"Your wearing that again?" Edmund chuckles at me.
"I like it" I blush. Everyone laughs.
"Your a girl, Lu" Susan says.
"Doesn't mean I have to wear girl clothes" I object and happily take the beautiful blue red dress that Caspian is now handing to me.
Caspian continues, he gives the boy's they're clothes and weapons, and I go upstairs to change into the dawn treader clothes that I
love. I put my hair to the side and use a hairband to keep it together. I looked like this most days on the dawn treader.
I look at myself in the mirror. Still the valiant girl who found the wardrobe in Dr Kirkes house. I'll always be that girl.
But more mature, taller, and of course, prettier. The girl who will always have the heart of a child.
"Thank you Aslan" I whisper.
