Chapter 6:
Anya awoke, blinded by the light coming in from the window. She felt like a hammer was being pounded on her head. She felt an arm around her body and turned around. She saw that it was Peter. He was sleeping quite peacefully with his beautiful blonde hair a mess.
Anya closed her eyes and struggled to remember what happened. She looked under the blanket that was covering them and saw two bare bodies. She cursed to herself and tried to get out of Peter's embrace without waking him up.
He mumbled something about not leaving but he was still deeply asleep. Anya gathered her clothes and got dressed as quickly as possible. She ran out of the room as quickly as possible only to be bumped by the younger king.
"Oh, Anya," Edmund said, catching Anya from falling on the floor. "Where have you been? I wanted to talk to you about last night."
Anya, still a bit jumbled, just stared at Edmund. She said, "Um, last night? What, what happened?"
"You mean, you don't remember?" Edmund stared at her with complete shock on his face.
"No, I'm sorry," Anya shrugged. "in fact, I really don't remember much at all. Did anything important happen?"
"Did anything important happen?" Edmund repeated. "Anya, we—You and I – You know what, never mind." He started to walk away in the direction he was heading earlier.
"Ed, wait," Anya grabbed Edmund by the arm. "What happened last night?"
"Nothing worth mentioning," he mumbled after pulling away and storming off.
Dear Alice,
I have no idea what happened last night. But I have a feeling whatever it is, it is not something I would be proud of. I woke up this morning in a room, naked, in a bed, with Peter.
I don't remember exactly what happened. I remember flashes and snapshots but they're all blurry. I need to talk to Peter. Maybe he remembers more than I do.
I also ran into Edmund this morning. He seemed pretty pissed. He mentioned something about last night but he didn't tell me. I have to look more into that.
I have a gut feeling in my stomach I'm going to regret whatever happened for quite some time. I guess I'll have to face the consequences. I'll try my best to keep you up to date.
Anya
Anya sighed and put the diary away. She hid it under her mattress. She figured she wasn't getting any sleep so she took a quick shower and headed for breakfast.
"G'morning," she mumbled as she sat down. Edmund, Lucy, and Susan were already eating. Peter was still probably asleep. Susan stared at Anya as she played with her food.
"Okay, what's going on?" She finally said.
"What do you mean?" Anya replied innocently as she looked up.
"Your quiet and not eating, Ed's being sulkier than usual, Peter's not here. Oh, and where were you and Peter last night?"
Edmund got up from his seat and said, "I'm going to go visit Phillip,"
"I don't know what you're talking about," answered Anya.
"Anya, did something happen last night?" asked Lucy, with a smile on her face. "Something that we should know about?"
"Why would you say that?" Anya could feel her face getting hot. "Nothing happened! Why can't you just mind your own business for once?" Anya yelled and ran out the door. As she did, she saw Peter approaching.
"We need to talk. Follow me" Anya led them to a small kitchen. With a nod of his head, Peter was able to have it clear of the servants that were there. Anya closed the door and made sure no one was listening.
"What happened last night? Never mind. Look, if it's what I think happened, then we should just forget about it. We were drunk and being stupid and we had no idea what we were doing. Last night was a mistake." Anya said in one breath.
Peter's heart sank as she said the last sentence. He didn't think what happened was a mistake. He struggled to find words to reply. "Your right, what happened last night was a mistake." He finally said.
Anya smiled in agreement and as she turned to leave he added, "But that doesn't mean I didn't like it," Anya froze, halfway out the door (and I stare at the hone he still hasn't called and then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all :: LOL, random moment. Forever and Always by Taylor Swift. Please, Continue with the story :P ) "I like you, Anya. I like you more than just a friend. And I know what happened last night was completely inappropriate but can you blame me for saying I liked it? Anya, your beautiful, and smart, and you always know how to make me laugh, your great at everything. For the love of Aslan, you are perfect in every way possible. And I would like for us to start over. Anya, would you please go on a date with me?"
Anya was shocked at his words. No one has ever said those things to her. Sincerely, at least. A smile formed from ear to ear as she blushed. She bit her lip and said, "Peter, you're my best friend." She paused to look up; she saw that Peter has a look in his face that implied a lost cause. "But a date does sound nice."
Peter hugged her immediately. "I promise you, you won't regret it."
Dear Diary, (again)
I don't know how I feel. Peter asked me out for a date. I guess you can say I'm confused. I've never thought of him that way. He was always just the High King or just my best friend.
Now that I think about it, he's not a boy anymore. When I first met the Pevensies I was shocked at Aslan's choice. They were just children after all. But they've grown up, all of them.
Peter's not a boy anymore; in fact, he's a man. He's the King for goodness sake. Now that I think about it, he's actually quite handsome. Sigh, I guess we'll just have to see how the date goes.
Anya
Dear Diary,
She doesn't remember. At all. I kissed the most beautiful girl I know and she doesn't remember. I guess that's what I get for aiming too high. Maybe I would be better off having one of those fixed marriages like the ones they do in Archenland.
I feel like..like… - I don't even know how to describe how I feel. Whatever. I should just forget about her. Forget Anya. Avoid Anya. Whatever it takes.
Edmund
"You know Anya didn't mean what she said, right?" Susan asked her sister. They were sitting on Susan's bed talking about what happened earlier.
"I know," Lucy replied. "But, I still can't figure out what's up with all of them. Edmund's quiet. Something must have caused Anya to act the way she did. And, where was Peter?"
"Lucy, do we really need to talk about this? Ed's always the quiet one. Anya's probably on her period. And Peter was probably tending to his duties. It's common sense."
"No, Ed usually greets Anya with a hug or something. Anya has never been that moody. And doesn't Peter usually run things with you? Do you have any idea where he was?" Lucy saw her sister second-guessing her earlier response. "I think they're all somehow connected. You know what that means. I'm going to ask Peter and you ask Edmund, okay?"
"Lucy, do we really need to stop this meddling. If people are meant to get somewhere then they'll get there."
"Yes, but they need help to get there. And we're the help. Susan, please? Aren't you just the least bit curious about what's going on?" Lucy gave her sister huge puppy dog eyes.
After a moment of considering Susan finally said, "Fine, but only because I'm curious"
