I'm back with chapter 8 for you guys. Really big thanks to bluebaby3296 for the review on chapter 7. It made my day to read it like it made their day to read the story. Anyway I hope I don't disappoint in this chapter oh well flame if you are disappointed.

Chapter 8:

Ramandu's daughter was now in confusion. She thought she loved Caspian but now she was unsure. No, no. She knew she still loved him but she also knew that he didn't love her. She made a decision. She knew what the right thing was but now she has to figure out whether or not to go through with it.

Caspian, on the other hand, also knew the right thing to do and also had to figure out whether or not to do it. He made his decision a while ago. High King Peter tried helping him but he knew that this wasn't his battle to fight. The only thing Peter could do was watch what would happen next.

It was night already and the wedding was in a few days. It was pouring outside. Susan was staring out the window and at the rain while holding onto her sketchpad. She was thinking and relaxing at the same time. She always multi-tasked and did it perfectly. Edmund tried but always failed miserably. He always wanted to know how she could do that. Susan explained that only girls can multi-task. Anyway, everyone else was in another room doing last minute planning for the wedding.

Ramandu was busy talking "We still need someone to sing at the wedding and someone to draw a picture of the newlyweds."

Ed suddenly figured it out. "I know who can do both of that." And with that he was out of the room.

Ed walked in the same room Susan was in and walked up to her.

"Oh Ed, you scared me." Edmund walked closer and grabbed Susan's sketchpad and ran out of the room.

"Hey! Bring that back!" Susan was yelling.

Everyone heard noises from upstairs because Susan was in an upstairs room. In a second, Ed was in the room with everyone, breathing deeply, and holding Susan's sketchpad.

When Ed caught his breath, he responded "I found you and artist and a singer." and with that, he threw Peter and Caspian Susan's sketchpad. They heard loud banging on the door.

"Edmund Pevensie, I am going to kill you!" Susan was really mad.

Peter was shocked. No one dared to steal Susan's sketchpad. "You stole her sketchpad!!"

"A simple "thank you" would be nice."

"It doesn't matter. She is going to kill us all!"

"I knew if I asked her then she wouldn't give it."

"There's a reason for that." Peter continued. "It doesn't matter. What matters is that we have to return this."

While they were fighting, Caspian stared at the drawings. "No, wait. These are actually quite impressive. Can you please let her in?"

Peter was happy too but Edmund hid before he opened the door.

Susan came in steaming mad. "Where is he?"

"He's hiding but first can we ask you something?"

"If it's about how I'm going to kill Edmund, just watch and find out."

"No, it's more important."

"Ok fine. What is it?"

"Do you think you will be able to draw Caspian and Ramandu's daughter after the wedding and maybe possibly sing too?"

"What? Why?"

"Cause they need a singer and artist and no one else will do it." Peter continued. "Please. Do it for a friend."

"Fine I'll do it but I pick the song and no one tells me how to do my job."

"Deal."

After that they just kept looking at Susan's impressive drawings. Peter found the one that she draw of him and Lucy on the Dawn Treader. He smiled at it. Why? Cause he looked good even on a side angle. Caspian was impressed at the picture of Aslan. Susan didn't like it much because she thought it didn't catch every side and emotion of him.

Lucy was getting really scared of the rain. Susan noticed this and brought her into a hug. Then she started singing.

Come stop your crying

It will be alright

Just take my hand

Hold it tight

I will protect you

From all around you

I will be here

Don't you cry

For one so small

You seem so strong

My arms will hold you

Keep you safe and warm

This bond between us

Can't be broken

I will be here don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on

Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart

No matter what they say

You'll be here in my heart

Always

Why can't they understand the way we feel?

They just don't trust

What they can't explain

I know we're different

But deep inside us

We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on now and forever more

Don't listen to them

Cause what do they know

We need each other

To have to hold

They'll see in time

I know

When destiny calls you

You must be strong

I may not be with you

But you've got to hold on

They'll see in time

I know

We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on

Now and forever more

Oh, You'll be in my heart

No matter what they say

You'll be here in my heart

Always, Always

Author's note: I just wanted to put that in somewhere.

By the time she was done, Lucy wasn't scared and the rain had stopped. Caspian was smiling at Susan and her gentleness. He never knew his mother well since she died when he was young and he promised himself that his children would always have a loving mother. Susan was everything he wanted as a mother for his children. He just wished that she was the one walking down the aisle. Ramandu noticed and glared but no one saw him. Ramandu's daughter noticed and smiled.

She knew exactly what she was going to do.

Ok here is where I will stop. Ok I know that this chapter wasn't the best but it builds to something better in chapter 9. The wedding is coming up so What is Ramandu's daughter thinking? Who knows? I know. Read on and review.
