"And you are sure this will work?" She asked pulling the small dagger from his hands. The moon was the only thing giving the pair light, as they stood in the cold midnight air.
"Yes, when you stab her makes sure to press the button on the hilt." He pointed to the clear glass with the orange, sliver, yellow and red mixture that swirled in side of it. "It will release the poison" The girl nodded hiking up her dress and placing the dagger in the strap on her thigh. He buttoned a dark black cloak around her and drew the hood over her head.
"Remember they can't know who you are." She nodded again mounting the midnight black horse.
"You will do great" Then man took the girls hand and kissed her knuckles. She looked away and at the looming forest ahead of her.
"When it is done give the signal"
"Yes master" She snapped the rains and the horse took off the man standing in the black night watching the receding figure of the assassin.

The rest of the day after dancing for a while I spent with Naou asking what I should get Ed for his birthday.
"Come on Naou, a little help?" He shook his big head chuckling as I struggled with the huge painting in my hands.
"Nope, no hints from me" He pushed open the library door with his head. Edmund was sitting on a beige arm chair his legs dangling over one arm his head resting on the other while he was so immersed in a book he didn't even notice Naou and I.
"Dweeb" I rolled my eyes accidently knocking over a vase with the picture. If fell to the ground shattering sending little blue glass shards every where.
"Clutz" Edmund said not looking away from his book.
"Nerd"
"Oh please I've caught you in here reading too"
"What ever" I said setting the paining down and bending over to pick up the glass shards. "Be a gentlemen and help will you Edmund" He finally looked over at me and smirked shaking his head no.
"You took that painting with out me. I thought we were pranksters together"
"We are Ed" I shook my head as Susan walked in.
"I heard some thing cra-"She stopped looking at the painting on the floor. "What's my painting doing in here?"
"What paining?" I asked in mock confusion.
"That one" She said pointing at it.
"Ohhhhhh THAT one" I looked at if for a few seconds, "I don't know" I shrugged and walked out of the room with the glass shards. The hall way was cold and quiet Naou stayed in the room with Ed and Susan as I searched for a trash can.
"KRIS!" Lucy ran after me grabbing me in a hug.
"Hey LU" I smiled. "Where's a trash can?" She shrugged and pointed to an empty pot.
"Just stick it in there no one will ever know"
"I like the way you think kid"
"I know I'm an evil genius" She giggled.
"Hey Lu, what should I get Ed for his birthday?"
"Hmmmm," She stroked her chin. "Well he likes to read, he likes swords, he likes….." She sat down on her bed in her room which we walked into. "I have no idea" She giggled.
"Ugh! This is so hard" I sighed falling back on the bed.
"Why don't you make him something?"
"Like what Lucy I have NO talents"
"You can dance"
"I'm not dancing for him" I smirked. We both sat and thought for a minute. "I got it!"
"Hmmm?"
"You know how he was asking be to teach him how to throw daggers and knifes?"
"Yes" Lucy nodded clearly confused.
"I'll get him a dagger and put a note saying I'll give him lessons"
"He'll like that"
"I hope" I sighed.
"He will I promise" Lucy patted my hand and looked out the window which you could now see the moon out of.
"I should go get the dagger made huh?" Lucy nodded. "Thanks Lu you're the best" I hugged her and ran down to the armory. "HI" I breathed. The Fawn behind the counter gave me a look that said 'here we go' but then smiled.
"Yes?"
"Can you make me a dagger for Edmund? I need it before I go to sleep" The fawn's mouth dropped he heaved a sighed but nodded.
"Ok. How would you like it?"
"Well" I thought I wanted it to represent Ed which was hard since I hardly even knew him. After sketching out 12 different daggers we decided on one with a wood handle and gold trimmings, a silver blade with an intricate design and his name in it. I smiled as the Fawn wrapped the dagger in a piece of canvas. I placed a shilling on the counter.
"Thank you" I smiled turning on my heal and running to my room were I wrapped the dagger in a box and tied a blue ribbon around it, placing it under my bed. "Naou!" I screeched as he came into my room. I ran over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Hello My Lady"
"Hey Naou, I'm excited for tomorrow"
"Good" He said helping me into bed. "Sleep well" I snuggled into my covers and quickly fell asleep.
~:~
"Good morning Kris and Happy birthday" Naou said as he gently woke me up.
"Thank you Naou" I smiled scratching his head.
"The others are waiting for you in the dining hall" I nodded and threw on a dress and ran to the hall. They all looked up at me as I ran in and smiled.
"Happy birthday ED!" I hugged him and caught sight of the table pilled high with food and gifts for both Ed and I.
"Happy birthday Kris" They chimed.
"Thanks" I smiled sitting in the red velvety chair next to Lucy who had since yesterday became my close friend. I piled my plate with sausage, ham, bacon, pancakes, toast, and eggs and a servant filled my gold goblet with grape juice.
"Are you excited for the parade?"
"Yes!" I giggled stuffing my face with a fork full of food. Peter chuckled a deep chuckle.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"You're crazy"
"I try" I laughed. The rest of breakfast we sat giggling and chatting about the days events. Susan who's hair had been tossed in a messy bun smiled a forced smile. I'm sure I'm the only one who noticed the stress in her eyes. A servant came and cleared the table leaving the presents stacked high before Edmund and I.
"You go first Ed you are a king after all"
"No you, Ladies first" He challenged.
"Edmund this is no time to pretend to be Chivalrous" He shot me a glare his brown eyes laughing. The little gold flakes dancing.
"Fine then I'll go!" He grabbed the first present. It was wrapped in a blue wrapping paper. The box was long and narrow only what I could assume to be inside was a sword. ; which was true a shiny sword sat in side nestled in white tissue paper.
"It's really light, great for combat, the newest model we have" Peter said happily from his seat. Ed pulled the sword out switching it between his hands and smiling.
"Thanks Pete" Edmund motioned for me to go. "Your turn" I nodded picking out the silver box with my name on it. It was small and rectangular. I ripped the wrapping paper off reaviing a book 'love lust and make believe' was printed across the cover.
"I thought you might like that since I find you in the library all the time, reading those romance books" I giggled at Ed he made it seam like I had been in the castle for ever when it had only been four days.
"Thank you Edmund I love it. Your turn" He grabbed a brown box Susan grinned which I assumed meant this one was from her. In side the box was a notebook and a few quills and ink bottles. It was completely fascinating thinking about writing with one of those since I was so used to using my ball point or my lap top.
"You loved making up stories back home in London, and I liked hearing them so I got you this. May you be inspired. " Ed thanked her.
"Open mine next" Peter said taking a sip from his goblet. He handed me a narrow short box his eyes excited. I opened it to find matching daggers and leather cuffs.
"They strap to your thighs or arms which ever is easier." He smiled. My name was etched into each of the blades a heart made the hilt
"Thanks Pete" I smiled placing them on top of my book. Ed opened his gift from me next. He pulled out the slip of parchment and smiled at it. Then he pulled out the dagger flipped it in his hand and turned to me.
"When's my first lesson?"
"When ever" I shrugged he nodded and Susan pushed a gift at me. It was a gold box with holes popped in it. I pulled off the ribbon and opened it to find a small little kitten looking up at me. It was fluffy and white with grey little ears, bright blue eyes and a blue bow tied around its neck.
"AWWWW" I squealed picking it up and holding it to my chest where it began purring. "It's so cute!" I beamed.
"I know I couldn't help it" Susan smiled.
"Thank you" Edmund opened Lucy's gift. A leather necklace with a sharp tooth sat in the box.
"I hope you like it ED" She said shyly.
"I do" He said quickly clipping it around his neck. The necklace hung at the hallow of his neck making him look extremely attractive.
"Your turn Kris" She pushed a pink box over to me and I quickly unwrapped it pulling out a pair of black ballet slippers. They had long silk ribbons and were stunning.
"Wow thanks LU" I said struggling with the kitten who was wriggling on my lap.
"Your welcome" The servants gathered up our gifts and we were all sent to our rooms to prepare for the parade. A purple dress with intricate designs was laid out for me. I slipped it on. It wasn't longer than the middle of my thigh it was paired with white pumps and a diamond necklace that I wore over my brother's bullet necklace. I fingered it as a fawn did my hair in a bun placing a circlet on my head with a diamond that dripped down my forehead.
"Lady Kris Malcolms you are needed in the foyer immediately for the parade" A centaur said from the door. I nodded placing the kitten in a box with a blanket and some water giving the fawn directions to watch it. Naou followed me to the foyer where we met Edmund.
"Where is every one?"
"They ride in a carriage behind us"
"Oh ok" I nodded. Edmund was wearing what looked to be slacks and a white dress shirt with the necklace lucy gave him around his neck. His crown rested on his head and he linked his arm through mine.
"Ready?"
"I've been ready" I smiled. He pushed open the doors and cheers split my ear drums. We were pushed onto the carriage by a centaur and Naou hurried at our feet sitting at attention. Edmund waved at the people of Narnia who tossed flowers and coins at the carriage.
"Elbow Elbow wrist wrist touch your pearls and blow a kiss" I said reciting the princess wave moves.
"What?" Edmund asked looking at me.
"It's the princess wave.." I smiled.
"Riiigghht" he said slowly. Naou laughed then got back to attention. "What's the bullet for?" The question startled me as I looked down at it picking it up with my fingers.
"It was my brothers, He was a Marine. He died a few days before Chirstmas last year"
"I'm sorry"
"He was my best friend" I ignored his 'I'm sorry' because when people said It they had no reason to what were they sorry for they didn't kill him and saying sorry wasn't going to make it any better. I get they were sad for me and my family, but they word 'sorry' wasn't helping. I preferred, we'll keep you in our prayers, but my favorite was 'I don't know how you feel but if you need me. I'm here to listen'
Ed just nodded placing his hand on mine inter twining his fingers with mine. I didn't know if he was doing this for comfort or he wanted to hold my hand but I liked it. We soon reached the hill were you could see the evil captors house. The one that Macy (her cousin) was at. I was still baffled by why she chose there to stay.
"Why didn't you want us to burn that place down again?"
"My cousins their, and no matter how much I hate her right now, I still love her like a sister"
"Right" Edmund chuckled as the parade went on now people were placing actual gifts at our feet. "I hate when they do this" He growled looking down at the gifts.
"What shower their king with gifts?"
"Yes"
"Weirdo" I said looking past him. There hidden amongst the shadows stood a girl with a black cloak wrapped around her keeping her face hidden. She looked at me for a minute then quickly turned around and disappeared into the trees.
"Did you see that?" I asked looked at Ed who was stuffing his face with Turkish delight.
"See what? "He asked mouthful I giggled at him shaking my head.
"Never mind" The parade stopped and we got off the carriage. At the castle door and fawns took us both in different directions. I was rushed to my room where I was quickly tossed into the tub filled with hot water and rose petals. Where a fawn began washing my hair and another scrubbed my body. It was VERRY violating. They whisked me out of the tub and I stepped into my big fluffy robe. They did my blond hair up in an elegant bun and sticking flower hair pins in it. They then whisked me into a green dress that was absolutely stunning.
It was tight around the bust with a gold ribbon laden with embellishments that wrapped around the top and crossed in the middle. The dress reached the floor and moved like liquid around my legs. They tucked my feet into gold flats and strapped a gold mask with matching embellishments over my face. The green of the dress brought out my eyes. (I changed her eye color I know) the fawns smiled at me.
"Naou will be up here shortly to bring you to the ball room" One spoke in a tiny voice. I nodded at her looking my self over in the mirror. If I do say so my self I looked stunning.
"Wow" Edmund said from the door. He was leaning on the door frame.
"Ed" I said quietly. He walked over to me a gold box in his hand.
"This is what I really got you for your birthday" I slowly opened it to reveal a beautiful piece of jewelry. It was jade cut in an oval shape with a silver chain and a silver piece.
"Ed, it's…its Beautiful"
"Like you" He said grabbing and clasping it around my neck. I fingered it and it fell right next to my brother's bullet. Edmund was standing behind me in the mirror both of us looking at the reflection. He was in a black suit with a green tie that matched my dress I assumed Susan had something to do with that. His crown sat atop his deep brown locks. His hand that was resting on my shoulder slipped down to my waist. My skin tingled as the heat from his hand found its way though the green fabric.
"We should go" I said suddenly pulling away from his touch. At that moment Naou came in my little grey kitten bouncing at his side. Naou gave him a frustrated look.
"Settle down" he growled.
"Sowrry" the little kitten said bowing its head and running over to me.
"What shall I name you?" I asked it as it purred rubbing my legs.
"Trouble" Naou growled.
"I like it" I giggled petting its head.
"Trouble!" It bounded up onto my bed and curled into a ball quickly falling asleep.
"Come you two you are already late" Naou lead us to the ball room. You could hear the music from inside then a loud voice.
"And now the Lady and your King of the Hour" The doors swung open to reveal an elaborate decorated room. Gold drapes hung in all the windows a crystal chandelier hung in the middle of the room. Tables were decorated with white table clothes and deep green and gold dishes. The whole room was white green and gold. People cheered as we descended down the marble stair case. Edmund had quickly linked his arm with mine.
"Now the birthday dance" Peter announced. A man in a brown suit walked up to my grabbing my hand kissing my Knuckles.
"Your highness nice to see you again" He said to Edmund.
"Yes trayter, it is"
"You don't mind if I steal away the dashing Lady Kris?" Edmund looked at me before shaking his head no. And I was whisked into the arms of Trayter.
"You're a very beautiful girl" He said smiling at me. He had to be about 5 years older than my now 17.
"Thank you" I smiled as the music began playing. He bowed at the waist and took my hands and began dancing with me. He leered at me hungrily. I looked for Edmund and found him dancing with a red head…the one that looked almost to much like my cousin. She had on a gold dress that swished around as she danced and a black mask that covered half her face. Edmund looked over to me and saw my fear filled eyes and he turned back to the girl saying something and then he began walking over to Trayter and me.
"Trayter mind if I cut in?" I smiled at Edmunds voice.
"I do" He said pulling me towards him.
"Please let go" I said forcefully pulling my hands from his grip. He looked at me then to the girl in the black mask nodding before looking back at me.
"Good night Lady Kris" I turned from him and into Edmund who took my hands and began dancing with me.
"Are you ok"
"Yes" 'now that you're here' I thought. He slipped his hands to my hips.
"Edmund what are you doing?"
"Dancing"
"Like this, it won't look good Ed. They will assume"
"Assume what Kris?"
"You know" I looked down.
"I do" He said grabbing my chin with his hand softly and making me look at him.
"Ed- "
"Kris do you want to have some fun?" He asked looking at me devilishly.
"Yes" I looked behind me. Catching the eye of the girl. She sent me a glare.
"Then follow me" He said taking my hand we walked out of the castle and then he began running pulling me behind him. On of my hands was in his and the other was holding my dress up.
We weaved though trees and jumped over logs. Both of us laughing.
"Ed where are you taking us!"
"You'll see!" He yelled as the wind ripped past us making my neat bun fall out of place.
He suddenly slowed and I could hear bagpipes, flutes and guitars.
"Where are we?"
"Only the most fun party in all of Narnia!" He laughed is eyes sparking in the moon light.
He pushed open a heavy wood door which revealed a place busting with dancing people in rag tag clothes dancing to the Irish music.
"Come on" He said leading my in and closing the door behind me the party contuined but a few noticed our presence.
"EDMUND!" A girl screeched running up to him and hugged him. She had deep brown hair. Dark forest green eyes pale skin with a light dusting of freckles on her nose.
"Aoife" He smiled. "This is my….very good friend Kris" He said pointing to me. She curtsied in her Dark blue dress.
"She's beautiful Ed" She said in her Irish accent winking at him. His cheeks blushed.
"Ed, Long time no see" A boy said walking up to us a heavy glass mug in one hand swished with the gold liquid I could only assume was beer. He was tall with red hair and a huge smile.
"Cilian" Edmund shook his hand.
"This is Kirs, Edmunds friend" Aoife nudged Cilian at friend who shook his head in a knowing way.
"Well want to dance?"
"Yes!" I giggled. Aoife grabbed my hand pulling me to the dance floor were everyone was doing the same dance. I quickly caught on. 'Left right right left heal heal toe toe jump turn' I repeated in my head. The music got faster and faster and faster before stopping and every one slumped down in laughter after bumping into each other.
"Wow!" I said tipping over in laughter Aoife giggled taking a sip of a beer that some one had past her.
"Want some?"
"NO I don't drink" I said shaking my head.
"More for me" She shrugged.
Soon the four of us were dancing on the table. It wasn't anything nasty it was us tap dancing on the table. I was so glad my mom made me take tap for 3 years. Everyone was clapping the fast beat as we danced together. Laughing the song came to an end and everyone cheered quickly bringing me down to meet the new girl. The night ended to soon and the four of us were left in the room. It smelt like beer and we did too I'm sure, Ed and I didn't drink any but every one else did.
"That was so much fun you guys" I smiled.
"It was" Aoife said patting her dress.
"Why don't they ever come to the castle Ed?" He shrugged and was about to say something when the bell from the castle sounded.
"Their going to kill us!" Ed said suddenly grabbing my hands and running to the door.
"See you guys!" I yelled as Ed pulled me towards the castle. It was a reverse Cinderella as we ran to the castle instead of away from it.
"Peters gunna kill us" Edmund said tossing the heavy door open and pulling me into the hallway.
"Ed stop slow down!" I said putting my feet down and slinging him into me, his weight and speed sent us both into the wall.
"I….I'm sorry; I just don't want Pete to assume the worst"
"He wont there is no reason for him to" Edmund was looking at me his deep brown eyes scanning my face landing on my lips and back to my eyes.
"But there is"
"Ed-"
"Don't tell me you can't feel it"
"I, I can" I said he was close to me now his hand slipped into mine his brown eyes softened the little gold flecks swimming. His hot breath snaked down my neck.
"Me too" He said before placing his lips on mine. His soft lips moved with mine. He tasted like chocolate rich creamy chocolate.
"Edm- " Peter stopped in the entrance to the hallway followed by two more sets of foot prints.
"What is going on?" He yelled.
"What does it look like Pete?" Ed said puling away.
"It's nothing Pete nothing" I said I slipped out from Edmunds grip and ran to my room. My escape was followed by shouting and banging. I ran to my Balcony and slipped off it jumping to the floor. Since I was only on the second story it wasn't that high. I ran to the Maze in the middle of the garden and followed it to the center where I faced a pond. I slipped off my flats and stuck my feet in the water getting the bottom of my dress wet. For the first time in Narnia I cried.
"Michael what do I do?" I yelled at the sky holding the bullet necklace in my hand. "I don't know if he likes me or its just lust" tears fell dripping on my dress.
"I don't want to be hurt" I ran my hand though the water.
"I won't hurt you" Edmund said from behind me.
"Ed, why did you kiss me?"
"Because I like you Kris you're the prettiest girl I know"
"Is it just my looks Ed?"
"No, I love your personality and every thing about you"
"I really like you to Ed. But we can't love each other yet, we have to take things slow" He was sitting next to me now.
"Ok" He grabbed my hand before smirking at me.
"Ed no don't" I said getting his idea. He slowly grabbed my hand and tossed me into the water. I surface screaming. "EDMUND!" I grabbed his leg and pulled him in.
"How dare you" He growled. I stuck my tongue out at him and he chased me though the water. I dipped down under where he couldn't see me. He swam around confused. I grabbed his leg and pulled him under. He smiled at me pulling me to the surface where we swam to the edge and pulled our self's out.
"You're crazy"
"So are you" We laid their side by side looking at the Narnian sky filled with bright stars that seemed to dance.
"Happy birthday Kris"
"Happy birthday Ed"
