Chapter 9: War Ends! It's Party Time
Peter's glare bore onto her back as Susan tried her best to ignore him which meant keeping her back straight and unmoving.
"Lucy are you up?" Susan called as she walked through the entrance of Edmund's tent, Lucy had sneaked in around midnight last night when she had gone to sleep in their tent that Peter had given to them after a week had passed and they hadn't left. "No! I'm still sleeping!" Lucy's voiced called out causing Susan to giggle a bit at her sister's grumpiness in the mornings. She walked over to her still form on the bed hidden underneath the brown fur covers.
"Wake up." she shook Lucy's shoulder?
"No!" came the grumbled reply
"Come on!"
"No! leave me alone!" burying deeper into the fur
"If you don't wake up then…" Lucy frown when Susan didn't continue "Edmund!" Susan shouted in a worried voice, Lucy leaped out of bed so quick that she almost gave Susan whiplash from following her movements "What happened to him?" she asked her but was looking outside frantically while shaking Susan by her shoulders (well more like her arms, she wasn't that tall yet) missing her smirk "Calm down I was just pulling your leg!" Lucy stopped shaking her frozen in shock then she turned to glare at her in full death glare. Lucy let her go and turned slowly then walked over to the bed and got in slowly pulling the warm covers over her self before turning her back to Susan, Susan blinked slowly at what had just happened. Susan slowly walked out of the tent backwards deciding to let her sleep a bit more.
After what seemed like two hours and very few interruptions Lucy decided it was time to wake up and join the living out in the base Camp, Edmund after he had finished his rounds sat next to her poking or talking to her until she woke up. Susan had spread out a clean light blue dress, some other things she needed and her black boots that she used when she traveled, after kicking him out she changed and left to go find something to eat.
Susan was sitting in one of the rocks around the Sparring arena that was flat enough to be comfortable to sit on watching Peter sparring with one of the soldiers. She smiled when she realized how Peter seemed relaxed while fighting "Why are you so happy?" a female voice from behind made her jump up in surprise causing her to slip from the rock onto the muddy ground, Lucy who had walked behind her would've laughed seeing her older sister being all muddy if she hadn't grabbed onto her when she slipped bringing her down with her, she sighed crossing her mud covered arms over her chest "Well, now I have a reason to regret getting out of bed today." she grumbled before breaking out in giggles after seeing a equally covered in mud and confused Susan next to her.
Grabbing clean clothes to change the two sisters headed to the river that was close by to wash up leaving both Peter and Edmund confused since neither were paying attention to them when the incident happened. Susan had finished washing up and moved to grab a towel to dry herself off "I guess it's a good thing they didn't see what happened, right?" Lucy looked up from the clear water she was dipped into to see Susan " Yes it is a relief to know that they didn't see us in our darkest moment." Lucy responded sarcastically as she scrubbed the mud out of her arm "instead of helping us they would have laughed their ass…butts off." Lucy caught herself before she slipped, Susan froze at the thought, a horrified expression played on her face. Finally having all the mud off of her hair Lucy stood up and started to tread over to Susan to grab a clean towel from the branch both not seeing a black shadow under the water until it grabbed Lucy by the ankle, once Lucy felt the rough grip around her ankle she let out a scream that was cut off when she was pulled under causing her to inhale some of the water, Susan whipped her head to the direction of the water to find Lucy drowning. Lucy tried to kick the thing to let it let go but to no avail after a while she started to get tired, yes she admitted it she was going to die drowned and …naked? At this thought she started kicking harder but it was too late Susan saw that she had given up and had shot an arrow at the black shadow causing it to screech in a high pitch deafening both Lucy and Susan.
Susan saw that after shooting the thing Lucy didn't resurface and dove right in the river swimming towards where Lucy had been, seeing her unconscious quickly grabbing her then bringing her over to the shore. After laying her down Susan panicked not knowing what to do so she pinched Lucy's nose, she started to give her mouth -to- mouth then pushing onto her chest before starting all over until Lucy twisted over coughing out the water. Susan patted her back to help her spit out all the water before getting up to get Lucy a towel, wanting to help her get dry but Lucy wouldn't hear of it Susan walked over to where their dresses where ( for some reason she brought a spare dress with her) she grabbed Lucy's lavender dress and undergarments then passing it over to her. Lucy nodded her thanks to her as it seemed that her throat hurt too much when she tried to talk. Both her and Susan hurried to dress not wanting to be caught in all natural again (well Lucy anyway), Lucy's head shot up when she heard the bushes rustling in front of her while she was slipping on her left boot, she reached over to her side where her sword was slowly, Susan catching on to what she was doing slipped her shoe on quickly then reached for her bow and arrow before aiming steady "Show your self!" she demanded Edmund shot out of the bushes and ran to Lucy in a panic concern written all over his face, Susan sighed in relief and lowered the bow and arrow before raising it again when the same noise was heard again from the bushes before Peter stepped out wearing the same expression as Edmunds' as he walked over to her "Is everything alright? We heard a scream coming from this direction." he explained, Susan just stared at him in wonder as the pressure lifted out of her shoulders making her blink back the tears that wanted to slip but thought it better not to cry in front of a shaken Lucy. "We're fine now, Lucy was pulled underwater and almost drown by this weird black shadow like thing." she replied concern evident in her voice, Peter nodded thoughtfully. "You don't think this was some diversion to cause us to leave the base camp, do you?" Edmund asked as he pulled Lucy closer to him to stop the shivers coursing through her. Peter quickly ushered them to the direction of the camp but it seemed that Susan was ahead of him in that aspect it made him frown when she decided to lead them in front, in front of danger.
As they passed through the bushes and trees heading back to camp Susan let her guard down for a second and that was all it took, an arrow coming from one of the bushes imbedded into her left hip causing her to gasp and cover her mouth to stop an impending scream from slipping and warning Peter and the others. "Look out! There's an archer in the bushes and possibly more!" quickly she pulled out the arrow as she yelled the warning over her shoulder. Both Peter and Edmund unsheathed their swords while Susan after throwing the bloodied arrow shaking slightly brought up her bow and arrow shooting into the bush and was satisfied when a shriek came sounding out from within it.
"Quick back to the camp!" Peter announced after cutting off the head of a goblin that rushed out of the opposite, nobody saw that from up in a tree a dagger came flying straight towards Lucy's head until Susan who was standing next to her caught sight of it and pushed her out of the way causing it to stab into her upper right arm. Lucy snapped out of her shock state when she felt a drop of blood hit her cheek, looking up she saw the dagger imbedded into Susan's arm "Susan!" she shouted fear laced her words. Susan shook her head and tried to smile at her while lifting herself off of her, she gripped her arm in pain. Peter whipped his head towards her direction as Edmund threw a rock up at the tree knocking the troll down then charging at it.
"Hey wait! Wait! Don't pull it out like that!" he shouted over to her but Susan ignored him and pulled it out, a painful cried erupted from her. Peter rushed over to her side and kneeled down next to her a scowl firmly in place on his face, she grabbed onto his shirt burying her face to hide the tears that slipped from her tightly shut eyes and bit back a sob.
"It'll be okay" he whispered into her ear, scowl gone away and replaced with a gentle expression as he petted her hair while his other hand was resting on her waist. After a while she nodded to him and lifted up her head to look at him.
Lucy looked away from them feeling guilt at putting her sister in so much pain, Edmund saw that and wordlessly put his arm around her and pulled her closer to him giving her as much comfort as he could give.
Once they got to the base camp they where shocked to find that they were under attack. "Stay here!" was the only thing that Peter told Susan as he headed towards the fray, Edmund not far behind. Susan huffed angrily, one moment of weakness in front of him and he acted as if she couldn't keep her own in a fight. Lucy was next to her holding onto her to help Susan keep balance "Well what did we come here to do?" she asked Lucy "We came to help fight." she proclaimed forgetting for a moment of her guilt "Right so get the bows and arrows." Susan ordered smirking slightly as she shifted onto her right leg to help keep the pain at bay while Lucy went to get their weapons.
A arrow whizzed past Peter catching his attention when it landed on a troll that was creeping to his side, he shot a look over his shoulder to see Susan preparing another arrow. He glared at her and she smiled back at him, then letting loose another arrow killing the goblin in front of him. Soldiers all around them were fighting bravely and strongly for their kings, Queens and their beloved Narnia and that was what the Goblins and trolls realized, that and they were greatly outnumbered. A great white flag was brought up by the enemy's side telling the Narnians that they had won, cheers busted all around Peter but he didn't hear them as he looked at Susan who was making her way to him. Peter grabbed her by the shoulders feeling all the excitement rush through him, he kissed her, first gently then slightly rougher as the kiss went on. Susan already feeling dizzy from the lack of blood in her body fainted when he pulled away from her. Peter realized what he was doing and quickly released her, a blush burning on his cheeks as he turned around completely not wanting her to see him like that. He truly didn't know what had come over him when he leaned in and kissed her, while he was busy panicking Susan had fainted.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean…" he looked over his shoulder to glance at her for a moment to realize she wasn't there, panicked he turned fully only to find her laying on the ground in blood, a horrified expression painted on he face. Peter bend down and lifted her shoulders to be able to lift her off of the dirty ground and onto his arms, Edmund and Lucy rushed over to him as he rushed towards the medical tent.
Once they had her laying down on one of the cots Lucy unlatched her cordial then slipping a drop in between Susan's parted lips closing her wounds. Susan opened her eyes and blinked two times a few moments ago she was floating in pitch blackness, nothingness, feeling cold one second then the next she couldn't feel anything at all. She saw a beautiful light shinning above her but didn't feel like following it until she heard Aslan's voice beckoning her to follow it and now here she was laying on a bed wondering why she didn't feel any pain. Curiously she sat up not feeling any pain in neither her hip or arm as she moved, suddenly she was enveloped in two strong arms cradling her to him. "Thank the Lion you're alive!" Susan heard Peter whisper to her shoulder where his head was resting "It saves me the trouble from going to the underworld to bring you back and punishing you!" he grumbled making her feel like she was hugging a child instead of Peter. The sound of a throat clearing brought her back from their little world, looking up she saw a tearful Lucy sitting on the foot of the plain bed and a relieved and slightly awkward looking Edmund "Nice to know that your well Su. Next time please don't do something stupid in front of Peter, I don't think me and Lu will be able to survive!" he exclaimed jokingly trying to lighten the mood but only receive a death glare from Peter "I'll just go and deal with the lot outside." Edmund said as he inched closer to the entrance nervously, Lucy perked up at the announcement "I'll help too! Please rest up Su." she added after standing up and giving her a bear hug then leaving them all alone. Peter stared at her for a while waiting for her to say something about the kiss and waited until Susan got annoyed at him staring at her, crossing her arms over her chest she huffed out a "What?" at him startling him out of his revive "It's just…what do you remember before you blacked out?" he asked cautiously, she narrowed her eyes in concentration "Well, I remember heading my way towards you and then you grabbed me. After that nothing, why?" she asked curiously wanting to know if she missed something important. Peter shook his head quickly while blushing a deep red "Nothing! I just wanted to know, that's all! I swear!" he shouted at her nervously causing her to shrug, whatever he was hiding she would find it out sooner or later but right now she was tired from the long day she had, "Whatever. I'm going back to sleep." she announced and stared at him blankly.
Omake
The next day Lucy was riding next to Susan had decided to ask her "So what does it feel like to get stabbed?" Susan (who was trying to ignore Peter's death glares at her back since he remembered that he was angry at her for putting herself in danger and almost dying) blink couple of times before she straitened her back cracking it in the progress "um… why don't you ask Ed? He's been stabbed before too." she asked her back , Lucy shrugged "He won't tell me!" Susan giggled a bit as she looked in front at Edmund who was riding ahead of them before nodding "It feels like a sharp shooting pain and then numbness." she answered seeing as Lucy still didn't understand "Well I can always show you." she said smiling when Lucy widen her eyes in fear before riding ahead of her to be next to Edmund then yelling " I think I'll pass!" as Edmund looked puzzled back at her then at Lucy.
