Aslan sightings and nearly falling down gorges
Sighing she separated from Edmund and climbed out of the boat. He climbed out behind her as they walked onto the rocks. Jenna glanced away from Lucy for a second only to hear a scream. Looking over a bear was charging Lucy. Jenna instantly had a bow in her hand a arrow loaded as Peter and Edmund launched towards the bear. The bear kept charging even after Susan tried to reason with it. She sighed she had no choice. She had to save Lucy. She fired her arrow only to see a second arrow flying with it. Looking over Trumpkin had also shot an arrow. The two arrows nailed the bears heart and he fell backwards into the rocks just in front of Lucy.
Peter grabbed Lucy pulling her away from the bear. "Why didn't he stop?" Susan was so confused, "Narnia is more of a savage place then you remember" Trumpkin growled as Jenna ran to Lucy. "Are you all right?" She whispered brushing her fingers through Lucy's hair. She let go of Peter only to latch onto Jenna. Jenna smiled and hugged the little girl. "It's all right Lucy, we've all got your back" Jenna comforted, "I don't think he could talk" Peter said, "Get treated like a dumb animal long enough you become one" He told them cutting the entrails out of the bear. Lucy and Jenna both looked in a different direction as their stomachs squirmed. This was uncomfortable.
After the whole bear ordeal Jenna and Edmund were walking in the back of the group holding hands as they caught each other up on what was going on in the past two months. "So your dad's much better?" Jenna asked, the last time she saw him he was still rather jumpy. "He's a little jumpy every now and then but that's it. He's adjusted pretty well." Edmund told her as they walked. "We're going the wrong way" Trumpkin grumbled rather loudly for the fifth time in the past three minutes. "We are not, the fastest way is over the river and through the woods!" Peter said turning around, he was currently standing on a large rock. "And if I'm not mistaken there's no bridge over the river for miles" Trumpkin told him.
"Well that explains it then, your mistaken" Peter growled turning back around and pressing onwards. "What is with men and directions?" Jenna demanded seeing Peter's actions. It caused Edmund to laugh. "That's the problem with girls, you can't keep a map in your head" Edmund said agreeing with Peter. Jenna glared at him, "Excuse me?" Jenna demanded, Edmund smiled at her, "What it's true! If you three girls were wandering the woods you'd get lost out of your minds" Edmund said. "We would not!" Jenna defended only for them to come to a sudden stop. They had come to a gorge. Looking back and forth there was no river. Smiling Jenna turned to Edmund. He braced himself waiting for her remark. "So what were you saying about keeping a map in your head?" Jenna demanded crossing her arms. Peter was grumbling furiously as well as they turned to walk away.
"Aslan! Look it's Aslan!" Lucy shouted pointing across the gorge. They all looked but he wasn't there. "Do you see him now?" Trumpkin asked with sarcasm and slight concern in his voice. He wouldn't admit it but he as getting attached to her. Peter and Susan instantly didn't believe her. "You do believe me don't you?" Lucy asked rather hurt. "The last time I didn't believe in Lucy I turned out looking like a fool." Edmund said softly agreeing with his younger sister. If she said that she saw Aslan then he believed her.
Sighing the three of them walked to catch up to the group when they heard Lucy scream. Looking over Lucy was gone. "Lucy!" Jenna shouted running to the last spot she saw Lucy only to reach the edge of the gorge that wasn't there two seconds ago. She teetered on the edge till Edmund caught her pulling her back against him. Looking down Lucy was sitting there on a little path that was carved out into the gorge. "Peter! Susan!" Jenna shouted up catching their attention. "Lucy found a way down" Jenna smiled stepping down, then Edmund followed keeping a tight grip on her hand in case she fell.
Soon they all made it down and slinked across the water. The rocks moved under their feet as they walked. "Having trouble balancing dancer?" Edmund teased her only for Edmund to trip on a rock and fall into the shallow water pulling Jenna down with him. Laughing she fell on top of him. "Yeah just a little, better off then you though" Jenna giggled standing back up. Edmund moved to get up but she pushed him back into the water and kept going. "Hey!" He shouted at her laughing he got up and chased after her. Jenna laughed as she held onto Dizzy. Dizzy refused to walk in this water. After all she was a cat!
Finally they made it to the other side of the gorge. They had to walk till it leveled down with the ground. They all ducked into the trees as they heard voiced up ahead. Sneaking up stealthily they found what they were looking for. They were building a bridge against a wide river. They laid flat on the ground behind some logs as some soldiers walked by. "Come on" Jenna whispered as they snuck away quickly away from the Telmarine bridge.
They kept walking till it was nightfall. This was going to take forever to make it to the stone table. They had built a fire and Jenna and Edmund were currently passed out next to the fire. She fell asleep on Edmund's shoulder with his fingers stroking her back and sides. Jenna woke up slightly during the middle of the night. She sat up listening, it was quite in the woods. She didn't like it. "What's wrong love?" Edmund asked sitting up with her. She looked around straining her eyes as they adjusted. The embers were slowly dying in the fire.
"Nothing, just something doesn't feel right" Jenna said, Edmund shrugged grabbing her shoulder and pulling her back down next to him. Jenna chuckled and snuggled back into his shoulder. He ran his hands through her hair kissing her forehead gently. She smiled and leaned up to meet his lips kissing him softly. He smiled rolling over on top of her pinning her back into the grass. She smiled wrapping her legs around his waist kissing him strongly. One hand sliding across his leather tunic the other running into his dark hair, her fingers tightening around the dark strands.
"God I missed seeing you in leather tunics" She growled against his lips biting his bottom lip. He smiled his hands fisting her dress up to her mid thighs. "About time you wore a dress again" He growled against her throat sinking his teeth in as his tongue rubbed against her neck violently. "It's been entirely too long" He growled, his arms circling behind her attacking the strings that kept her dress on. Jenna quickly caught his hands. "Edmund we can't" She said in a quite whisper.
"Why not?" He demanded letting go of her neck and looking her in the eyes. Raw passion showed in her hazel eyes. She glanced at the others, he followed her eyes before seeing his family and Trumpkin sleeping around the fire. He groaned putting his face against her shoulder. She smiled wrapping her arms around his head, kissing his hair she whispered. "I'm sorry love" he looked up at her with a wicked smirk in his eye he stood up grabbing her and pulling her into the woods. They were a safe distance away from the group but not too far before spinning her around pinning her up against the tree.
