HIYAAAAA! PLEASE READ! Soooo I just want to say sorry for the lack of updates :( but please read the bit at the bottom it is important.
Normal disclaimer applies :)
We had all gathered in the room with the stone table we had all gathered in earlier. Everyone seemed to be walking on hot coals around me ever since mine and Caspian's fight. Lucy, Susan and I all say on the table curled in together while Peter and Edmund sat in one of the stone like benches around the room. Directly in front of us there was a large carving of Aslan being lite up by a fire that ran along the walls of the heptagon shaped room.
"So whenever I was just a little mouse my father would tell me about how some day the Kings and Queens of old would come back to Narnia and unite with a Prince and together they would defeat the enemy kingdom." Reep jumped up and sat down beside the Lucy and gave us a smile in his own way.
"But I don't see how this has anything to do with Cassie?" Ed asked. "I mean if it is just a Prince where does she come into this?"
"That is where I am not quite sure if it is true or not." Reep continued. "There is a tale of another where a queen of the Dryads came along and was blessed with the body of a human and the powers of Aslan. She here can see the future, travel into the past, has the strength of 1000 men aswell as the speed. She can transform into her dryad form at a moments choice. And as well as the power a dryad has healing men she can also control the air, being able to cause great storms and the weather so blistering hot you can burn in your own skin." When Reep finished everyone was in silence we proceeded the information.
"But that couldn't be me, I'm a Telmarien not a Narnian." I fought back. It couldn't be true. I'm human not some dryad. I knew what a dryad was. I'd grew up with the stories. They could change from leaves into a human figure and go back and live in the trees. They were meant to be extinct... But so where all the Narnians.
"That is one reason why I dont think it could be true. Maybe you just have premonitions but that doesn't make sense as to why you travelled into the past. Or how you were able to throw those rocks and boulders and you bed around the room you were in." Reep answered rubbing his thin whiskers while keeping his other hand on his sword.
What was he talking about, I had only thrown a few stones around my room and my bed was simple to lift. I couldn't understand what try we're talking about. Before I knew it I was flying down the long corridors and all I could hear in the background was the faint calls of my friends. I arrived at my room quickly. Surprised I had not gotten lost on the way round the all to alike hallways and passages. I opened the door and saw exactly what Reep had been talking about there we large chunks of rock pulled out of the wall and the bed was completely smashed to pieces. There was broken glass everywhere.
"Cathy." I jumped at the sound of Caspians voice.
"I did this?" I asked my voice barley a whisper. From Caspians silence I k we my answer. "What's happening to me?" I felt the familiar wetness fall down my face. "I don't even think I know who i am any more." My voice cracked and I sank to the floor as my sobs took over.
"Shh." I felt Caspians arms come around me. "Your Catherina Cassandra Phillips, your my sister, you are the daughter of King Caspian IX and Queen Maria. You are the most strong girl I have ever meet and have the biggest heart and welcome everyone into it."
"I haven't been that girl since Damien died." I put my head against Caspians chest and closed my eyes.
"Just because you haven't been her doesn't mean she isn't there. These past few days I keep seeing glimpses of her in you, that's probably one of the reasons I have been so angry. I'm afraid that you won't need me anymore. You have so many people now that its not just me and you anymore." I couldn't believe it. I had been so wrapped up in my own life I didn't even stop to ask how he was coping with everything. They were his parents to and Damien was one of his bestfriend. How could I be so selfish.
"I will always need you big brother. No matter who I have in my life you will always be the most important." I knew I needed a new change. I needed to be the girl I once was. And even though I can never forget about Damien I know I needed to move in with my life.
"You to little sister. You to."I looked up at my brother smiling at him before placing my head on his shoulder and before I new it i was falling to sleep.
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Should we wake them?"
"It must be dreadfully uncomfortable sleeping like that."
"They look so peaceful sleeping, it has been a tough couple of days for both of them."
"I'm already awake." I felt the vibrations rumble through Caspian's chest where my head rested as he spoke.
"Me too."I chipped in.
"Good saves me the trouble of having to get a bucket of water to wake you up." Edmund laughed.
"Trust me if you did I'd go all Miraz on your ass." Caspian laughed. I opened my eyes and saw we were in the same space we had fell asleep in earlier.
"I don't think I would mind, I need a good wash." It had been a good three days since I had got a good clean.
"We'll I wasn't going to say anything but..." Edmund started.
"Hush Ed and leave her alone. Aswell you don't smell to nice yourself." Lucy smacked his chest.
We all started laughing as Ed mocked being hurt by Lucy.
"I can have a bath drawn for you I am sure Cassie, I am thinking of taking one myself." Susan asked completely ignoring her brother.
"That would be lovely Susan thank you." I smiled at her.
"Don't thank me yet until you see what we have to bathe in. I mean seriously what I would kill for a Luxurious bath like we had in our time." She whined.
"Snob." Edmund coughed.
"Dork." Susan coughed back.
"Your the dork." Peter joined in in the siblings argument.
I sat amused at the bickering that was going on in front of me.
"I am not a dork." Susan gasped.
"Do we need to mention the dictionary game." Lucy laughed.
"We'll darling sister if it wasn't for the dictionary game we would have never actually found Narnia now would we."
I looked up a Caspian and saw he was just as amused by their arguing as I was.
"What no it wasn't it was because I decided to play hide an' seek."
"You decided?" Peter raised an eyebrow, "I was the one who agreed and if it wasn't for me- "
Peter was cut of by the sound if hooves hitting the stone floor.
"Your Majesties, your Majesties!" Someone called out. Just then a faun ran round the corner obviously out of breath as though he had been searching for us for a long time.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Caspian asked standing to his feet. I stood up with him and unconsciously grabbed his arm, which he now had holding the head of his sword, and held it tightly.
Once the faun was close enough he stopped, breathing hard be curtly bowed his head.
"A telmarien rider was spotted in the forest. A group went after him but they were to late."
"Thank you for finding us." Edmund nodded. The faun gave a small nod before quickly disappearing in the direction he had just come.
"What are we going to do." Lucy asked after a few moments of silence.
"You are not doing anything we on the other hand are going to prepare to go to fight." Peter answered.
"What do you mean I am not going." When Lucy said this I held back my laughter as I though back to mine and Caspians previous fight where I had said the exact same thing.
"Lucy you are to young. This is going to be to dangerous." Edmund placed his hand on Lucy's shoulder but she shrugged him off.
"Edmund is barley a years older than me Peter. I have fought in battles before."
"Yes but that was in our golden age and you were older then Lu." I thought back to their earlier argument when they were fooling around but now things had become very serious.
"Give me one good reason why I can't come." She stood up straight got in Peters face. It did look funny as she was considerably smaller than him. I looked over at Susan and Edmund and saw them both looking around as if it was a regular thing for the two to fight. They did remind me of Caspian and myself in that aspect, two very stubborn people.
"Your to young." Peter answered his voice almost a plea at her to stop. But she didn't.
"Not good enough Peter." She laughed but it wasn't a normal Lucy Pevensie laugh, no, this one was hallow.
"Because what if we don't come back." Peter exploded. "What about that Lucy. What if we don't come back? We need someone to stay and be strong for the rest who still live. Mother made me swear to keep you all safe and this is how I know why. Yes Edmund and Susan are coming but they will be staying out if fighting as much as possible." At this point Edmund looked like home was about to say something but Peter carried on. "You are only 16 Lu. If we don't survive you need to go home and live your whole life."
"Is that really what you think?" Lucy said through gritted teeth. "That I will just be able to go home and carry on my life knowing my family is dead. Trust me Peter I would rather die today than that. Anything but that."
"Please Lu. Please I promise you I will come back as long as you promise to stay here." Peter begged taking one of Lucy hands in his.
They just stared at each other before finaly,
"Okay. I'll stay."
Relief flooded over Peters face. He pulled his youngest sister into a tight embrace and I swear I heard him whisper 'I love you' to her. She pulled away looking at everyone and I she gave a small smile.
"Well if I'm not going I am going to go bathe then." With that she let go of peters hand and turned walking away.
"Do you think we are doing the right thing?" Peter asked when Lucy had completely gone.
"Yes." Edmund answered quickly. "That bastard need to pay for what he has done, to the Narnians, to Caspian, to Cassie."
"I agree." Susan smiled going over and taking her brothers hand.
"I may not have agreed in the beginning but I see how this could better our chances." Caspian smiled.
Everyone's head turned to me as if they were waiting for me to answer.
"I'm afraid." I confessed. "Afraid that I might crack under pressure and that I might just stand there and scream."
"No one knows how they will react when something goes wrong." Susan said.
"Part of me is saying no. That these people I have known since I was a child didn't make the choice to follow Miraz. They were forced to."
"What the other part saying?" Edmund asked a huge smile on his face as if he already knew the answer.
My voice now void of any emotion I looked Petter in the eye and said.
"That is is time to go to war."
Sooo what you think? Ahh I hoped you liked it. But anyway I was actually thinking if getting a beta reader to help me with the story and stuff so let me know if you or anyone you know is interested:)
