Chapter 4

Edmund woke up the next morning to find Rose hugging the bear he had given her. He smiled, at least he doesn't know his money was wasted, that bear wasn't easy to find! But he wouldn't tell Rose that. He put his tux back on and walked to Peter's room. Rose woke up shortly after that. She looked over to find Edmund wasn't on his side of the bed. It was strange, him not being there. She had gotten so used to waking up with Edmund there. It was just weird not having him there. She didn't say she liked waking up next to him! She was just used to it. She was so tired, she wanted to fall back to sleep but that was stopped by Susan and Lucy. They came bouncing in talking about something that Rose wasn't really listening to. She was pulled out of bed by Susan who with out warning pulled off Rose's night clothes and put the Wedding dress on. The wedding dress was just a plain strapless one with silver swirls on the front.

"We need to make your hair better than it was yesterday, yesterday it was just strait and plain." Susan said,

"I don't know if I should take that as in insult or not," Rose said with a laugh. Lucy came in with a bag, Rose wondered what was in it. They told Rose just to close her eyes and relax, which she did. To stop her self from falling asleep she just talked to Susan and Lucy who were doing something to her hair. Them three got on great. Susan and Lucy didn't understand why she didn't get on with Edmund, they probably wouldn't understand either. After about half an hour Rose was told she could open her eyes, which she did. She couldn't believe it! What had they done to her hair! It wasn't bad it was good! It was totally different from her normal hair. Normally her hair is just strait and black now it was full of curls, Rose couldn't help but smile and spin a strand of hair around her finger.

Down in front of the throne room doors (the throne room had been turned into a ball room) Edmund was waiting to do his entrance as Mr and Mrs Pevensie. That was a weird thought. He was married, at 17. He never thought he would be this young. Rose came down in what seamed to be in slow motion. Edmund stood looking at her with an open mouth.

"Close your mouth, I don't look that different, all that is changed is my hair and I'm wearing a bit more make up" Rose said,

"You're pretty," Edmund said, then he looked shocked at what he just said, it just slipped out.

"Wow, beautiful and pretty in 24 hours, I'm scared," Rose said sarcastically, Edmund just shot her a dirty look and held out his arm for her.

"We've done this before,"

"But not as husband and wife," Edmund reminded her, Rose shuddered as the doors opened.

"Presenting, Mr and Mrs Pevensie, King and Queen of Narnia," Mr Tumnus said to the crowd, everyone clapped as they walked to the middle of the dance floor, just like they did on the night they had met. "Please be silent as they have their first dance," Mt Tumnus finished. Everyone stopped clapping as the music started. They danced the waltz. After about 3 minuets other couples joined them on the dance floor. Edmund and Rose stopped dancing when someone tapped Edmund on the shoulder. They both pulled them self's away from each other to see Daniel staffing there.

"May I steal the Queen away?" Daniel said joking, Edmund nodded and passed Rose's hands to Daniel. Edmund walked into the crowd, Rose followed him with her eyes. She didn't want to be left alone with Daniel. What if he tries to kiss her or what if she kisses him? What if he tells everyone that they were dating? Well their not now… She had managed not to look at him in the eye. But that was stopped when Daniel asked,

"Why did you break your promise?" Rose looked up to him, to see the pain in his eyes,

"I didn't," Rose said trying to hide the hurt in her voice,

"Yes you did! You're married!"

"Point?"

"You left me!"

"Not here! Come on," Rose said dragging him out of the room. Edmund saw Rose dragging him out so he followed them but so they didn't know he was there. Rose and Daniel stopped randomly in a corridor and Edmund hid behind a pillar just in ear shot of them.

"You promised!" Daniel shouted

"Well… who cares? I'm married now, leave me alone!"

"I care! I love you! And you act like you have never loved me,"

"Yes I loved you, but now I don't" Rose lied,

"You're lying!"

"No I'm not!"

Edmund was shocked, she was in love with someone. Rose was a terrible liar, everyone knew when she was lying. Maybe that was one reason why she hated him…

"If you had never come to Narnia, would you still love me?" Daniel asked,

"Probably, but I did come to Narnia, you can't change what had happened so please go away!" Rose shouted and she turned to leave as Daniel grabbed Rose's shoulders and kissed her. It was one of the most uncomfortable kisses she had ever had! Sure she would love to kiss Daniel back but she was married and yes she didn't love Edmund but she couldn't be unfaithful to him at their wedding party! She struggled to get away, eventually she kicked him where it hurts he immediately let go of him but he didn't fall to the ground in pain. Maybe she didn't kick him hard enough… he raised his hand up high and smacked Rose across the face, he immediately regretted it, he had never struck her before. Edmund ran from behind his pillar. No one kisses his wife then hits her! He pulled his sword out and pointed it at Daniels chest.

"You have just kissed my wife, then hit her. I don't think that was sensible." Edmund said threatening Daniel with his sword.

"She enjoyed it," Daniel said smugly, Edmund looked over at Rose. She was sitting on the floor holing her face and crying,

"It doesn't look like that to me," Edmund said, "Guards!" Edmund shouted, when the guards came he then said "Take him to the dungeons, I will deal with him after I have helped the queen" he said making Daniel look even more uncomfortable. Edmund helped Rose up. She immediately hugged him, her face hiding his chest. Normally between these two this would be awkward and basically it wouldn't happen. After a few minuets they pulled apart and Rose put her hand back to her face. Edmund grabbed her wrist lightly and pulled her hand away. He winced. Her face already had a black eye and a huge bruise across her cheek. Furry filled him. He called for his sisters to help her get changed in her room. Once they came and took her away he stormed to the dungeon. The guards opened Daniels door and Edmund pulled out his sword and held it against Daniel's throat,

"Tell me one good reason I shouldn't kill you!" Edmund said,

"Is that a threat?" Daniel said,

"Yes it is!" Edmund said pushing his sword forward, a very small trickle of blood streamed down Daniel's neck, when Daniel said nothing Edmund pulled his sword away,

"Come anywhere near my family again and I will make you wish you had never been born!" Edmund said leaving.

In Rose's room Rose was sitting on her bed in her night clothes. Wondering what had gone wrong? She was having a wonderful time until her ex boyfriend who used to be wonderful had decided to kiss and strike her. It was so not like him! The tears had stopped, now she was just sitting there not really looking at anything. Susan and Lucy watched her from beside the bed. They had managed to make her stop crying. But she couldn't help but start again when Edmund stormed into the room. 'Stupid Edmund' Lucy thought. Edmund immediately sat on the bed beside her and started hugging her. Lucy and Susan shared a look. They slowly left the room.

"Do you think we can make those two fall in love?" Lucy asked,

"I'm sure of it, even it is the last thing I do!" Susan replied. They both smiled wickedly and walked off to their rooms.

Back in Edmund and Rose's room they were still hugging,

"Edmund?" Rose said, Edmund pulled her out of the hug to look at her face,

"Yes?"

"Why are we being civil? It's starting to scare me!"

"It's scaring me too, I'm sure we will be back to Normal tomorrow," Edmund said laughing,

"Oh yeah, when I beat the crap out of you in our sword fight," Rose said smiling, Edmund nodded and tucked her into bed. He went to get changed. By the time he came back she was fast asleep hugging the bear again. Then a thought came to him, 'Why were they being civil? It really was scaring him!'

AN: :O! Evil Daniel! I don't like him! He's horrible to poor Rose! Anyway… next chapter the sword fight! And maybe some of Lucy and Susan's little plan… I'm not sure…

Woah! Loads of thank yous! :O :D (L)
