Chapter 7
The entire courtroom sat there is shock. Lucy, however, was the first to move. She stood up and walked right in front of him before grabbing him in a huge hug. Edmund was surprised at first, but he soon wrapped his arms around her as well.
Susan was next. She as well came down and gave him a hug, Lucy and Edmund both smiling at her. Peter on the other hand was speechless. This man, this criminal, had not only robbed them but held them hostage as well! Now he was claiming to be his long lost brother. But Peter couldn't even argue with that statement. The man what Ed's thick black hair and chocolate eyes as well as his facial features.
Peter stood and walked over to him. "You look tired, Lucy will show you to your new room."
Lucy glared at him, obviously upset at his cold demeanor but pulled him out of the room.
Susan turned to him. "Well that was handled nicely."
Peter snorted. "Did you expect me to welcome him in open arms?"
"No I just thought you had enough manners to treat him like less than trash!"
"I don't trust him."
"You don't have to, just believe what he's saying!"
Peter shook his head. "That might take a while."
Susan sighed. "I don't expect you to accept him at first," She said, placing her hand on his shoulder. "But I do at least expect you to try."
Peter straightened his shoulders. "I can't give you any promises."
Susan smiled. "That's good enough for me."
-Narnia-
Lucy drug Edmund out of the courtroom. "Ouch! Hey Lu please let go!" But Lucy kept on. Eventually Edmund stopped struggling and allowed her to lead him. They soon reached the castle gardens.
Lucy let go of his hand and turned to him. "Edmund Pevensie! How dare you even have the nerve to show your face here after what you did!"
Edmund gulped. Was she mad at him for not coming back? "What did I do?"
"Do? Do! You know what you did! You left us and wouldn't come back! You were gone for 10 years Ed, 10 years!"
Lucy started to cry. Edmund, acting on impulse, gently pulled her into a hug. "Shhh," he soothed,"everything is going to be fine."
Lucy sniffed. "We thought we had lost you Ed. That night, you screamed, I was so worried. When I saw you were gone, I almost lost hope."
She pulled out of his embrace. "We thought you were dead."
Edmund almost started to cry. "Oh Lucy. I would never leave you. That night I was taken against my own will. In fact after much time had passed I thought you had given up on me."
"Never."
He continued, his hands on her shoulders. "Every day I would work I would hope you would be able to see me. To find me. But every day my hope was crushed."
"Oh Edmund! I am so sorry! We looked all over Narnia for you! There was no trace."
He smiled down at her. "I know, I know. But at least now we're together, right?"
She smiled through her tears. "Right."
They hugged again and sat down on a nearby park bench. "So Edmund, what have you been doing for the last 10 years?"
He shifted uncomfortably. "Do you really want to know?"
She kindly stared into his eyes. "Yes."
Well here goes nothing!
