A/N: I am really sorry that I didn't get this posted earlier this week, I was extremely busy last week, and the only times I was able to write, when I wasn't totally exhausted, I was surrounded by screaming kids, who gave me a massive headache, and I'm kind of hitting some road blocks when it comes to writing right now. I can already tell you that you won't be getting another chapter for at least a week, but probably closer to a week and a half because I'll be gone and have no internet connection until at least next Wednesday night because I will be at camp, and when I get it I will be at my grandparents house so I will be spending time with them and my cousins.
I'm really sorry that I can't post until then, but maybe while I'm at camp I can come up with something really awesome for the next part of the story.
Disclaimer: Same as always; I don't own Narnia.
The next morning I'm awake in plenty of time to get ready for breakfast so I get dressed and walk to the library to do a bit of reading before heading to breakfast.
After about half an hour of reading I decide it's time to go to the dining room, so I put my book down and leave.
I get to the dining room before anyone else so I sit down, look out the windows, and enjoy watching nature.
A few minutes later Caspian comes in and I can see the fake look of disappointment on his face "I told you I might beat you here today" I laugh.
"Yes, yes you did, unfortunately I didn't believe you until now. How long have you been sitting here?"
"Oh, about ten minutes I would say."
"And what have you been doing these past ten minutes?" Caspian asks as he sits down beside me.
"I've just been looking outside, watching everything. I love nature."
"Why didn't you go do something else, like go to the library?"
"Because I've already been to the library this morning, that's why."
"Oh…. Well why didn't you go walk?"
"Because I knew you'd be here soon and I wanted to be here when you walked in, thinking you were the first person here."
"You win…. This time." We laughed as a few other people, including Trumpkin, came in.
"What is so funny?" One of Caspian's assistants, named Julia, asked.
"Oh, nothing Julia, just me and Queen Lucy joking around with each other about a conversation we had yesterday."
"Oh, okay." And with that we all ate.
"I'm going to take a walk again, would you like to join me?" I asked Caspian after breakfast "Or do you have stuff you need to do?"
"Nothing that can't wait until after a walk." Was his reply.
"This needs to become permanent." I suggest as we walk.
"What does?"
"Us" I reply as if it's the most obvious thing ever.
"Come again?" he replies with a stunned look on his face.
"Us… Oh! I mean us walking Caspian! Not anything else, just walking… after breakfast… every morning." I answer laughing at my mess up.
"I would love that Lucy, I really would. Especially right now; it would give us time to get to know each other better." He confessed.
"Yeah, it would. So it's a deal? Every morning before we start with our daily tasks we take a walk outside after breakfast… unless it's storming."
"Every morning we take a walk outside… unless it's storming… and then we walk inside."
"And then we walk inside. Caspian… about last night I-"
"Don't worry its fine."
"I was just going to say thank you."
"Oh… then you're welcome. And remember if you ever need me; I'm right here."
"I know, thanks."
"So… what's your favorite color?" Caspian inquired.
"Um… orange, but not harsh; pretty… like the sunset. I'm also a fan of pink, and sometimes red, and bright blues. What about you?"
"I like blue… with some gray mixed in… especially with light blue because it gives you the perfect combination of a brighter, happier color, but still the darker, sadder color too."
"Grayish blue describes you well; you can be bright and happy one minute, but the next you're sad and distant."
"You've figured that out already?"
"I picked it up on the Dawn Treader."
"Of course you did." He said with a smirk, and I couldn't help but smirk back.
The silence that followed was somewhat awkward, not too awkward, but it was definitely not a comfortable silence.
"So…" Caspian drawled "how are you?" he asked me, suddenly very serious.
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean."
"I'm fine, I'll get over it." I say, not really wanting to talk about my family anymore.
"Wh-what do you think Susan and Peter said when Edmund told them you stayed here?"
"Don't know, don't care really, they can't change anything, and now neither can I." I reply making it obvious that I don't want to talk about it.
"I mean… how do you think they reacted?"
"I don't know Caspian. I'm going back in; I'll see you at lunch." I replied shortly and then turned and took off toward the castle.
"Lucy!" Caspian called, but I just ignored him, I had made it obvious that I didn't want to talk about it yet he had pushed, it was like he wanted me to get upset, although I doubt he did.
I get in, hold my dress up, and jogged to my room so that Caspian hopefully wouldn't catch up to me. About ten minutes after I got to my room there was a knock on the door and "Lucy?" then silence… then "Lucy? Please talk to me; I know you're in there. Look I pushed out there when I shouldn't have; I'm sorry… please forgive me?" I stay silent "Please" at this his voice takes on a pleading tone and I almost get up and open the door, but I remain still, I know I probably shouldn't, but I want him to suffer until lunch.
"OK, fine I understand you won't talk to me, but just know that I really am sorry. I'll see you at lunch… I hope…" he whispered through the door, and then all I heard was him walking off.
End A/N: So... this is not my favorite chapter in the story, but it worked. Please let me know if you think they are out of character or if I can do anything to improve, also if you have any ideas that you might like me to see if I can fit into the story then please drop a review and let me know, I would love it since I'm running out of ideas.
Until the next update,
Rebecca.
