"To the glistening Eastern Sea, I give Queen Lucy, the Valiant."
"To the great Western Wood, I give King Edmund, the Just."
"To the radiant Southern Sun, I give Queen Susan, the Gentle."
"To the clear Northern Skies, I give King Peter, the Magnificent."
"Once a King or Queen in Narnia, always a King or Queen." Aslan looked at each of the four monarchs sitting down on his or her throne. Then the trumpets blared. The Narnians shouted, "Long live King Peter! Long live Queen Susan! Long live King Edmund! Long live Queen Lucy!" They cheered and the celebrations begin. Lucy, noticing Aslan's sudden absence, walked towards the balcony. It overlooked the red setting sun, the skies were tinged with pink, red, purple and blue. It overlooked the splashing sea, its color reflecting the skies. There, on the beach, was Aslan walking. Lucy looked at him for a moment before a voice behind her said, "He'll be coming and going. One day you'll see him, and another you won't. He doesn't like being tied down." Lucy turned around, and there was her dear friend, Mr. Tumnus.
He smiled at her, and looked towards the beach, as did Lucy. Then she gasped. Aslan was gone. Tumnus, noting her look of surprise, chuckled and said, "It's quite alright. He'll often drop in. Only you mustn't press him, he's wild, you know. Not like a tame lion." Lucy turned to her friend and smiled.

Susan laughed, dancing with a faun. She had so much fun! The song then ended, and she looked across the room to see Lucy dragging Edmund to dance. She laughed when she suddenly felt arms snake around her waist. She looked behind her, and there stood Peter. Peter grinned and pulled her to the floor. They swayed gracefully, and Peter smiled down at her. Susan felt heat rush her cheeks, and she smiled back at him. The celebrations soon ended, and the four young monarchs tiredly made their way to their chambers.
Lucy in the East wing, Edmund in the West wing, Susan in the South wing, and Peter in the North. The four said their good nights and split up. Susan yawned, and she disappeared in her room. She discarded her royal garments and put on a soft nightdress. She then was about to go to bed when she heard a soft knock at the door. She opened it curiously and she looked out and saw Lucy. (A/N you all thought it was Peter, right? Sorry, had to make some surprise twists. Muhahaha! Ok, on with the story)
Lucy had tears running down her face, and Susan ushered the younger girl inside. She closed the door, and then she sat down on the bed, and let her younger sister cry on her shoulder. Then after what seemed like hours later, her sobs turned into sniffs and then she started to talk in a cracked voice. "Lucy, what's wrong?" Susan asked her. "I don't know what happened, I was walking to my room when…when…" Lucy trailed off, sniffing. "When what, Lu?" Susan asked, anxious. "I-I heard this voice, out of no where, and it was dark all around, the torches went out, and everything was dark, and then there was a strange wind blowing through…I mean, it's the middle of spring…its not supposed to have winds like this but there was…then I ran here." Lucy ended, sobbing again. Susan patted her back, but was still anxious to hear what she had heard. "What did the voice say?" Susan asked, looking into her sister's dark chocolate eyes. "I-I don't know…I couldn't hear properly…" Lucy trailed off again, and then Susan heard another knock on her door.
There were two voices outside, and Susan opened her door to her brothers. Peter looked at her with concern in his eyes, and then moved forward when he saw his youngest sister. Edmund was there too, and he rushed to Lucy, holding her in his arms. Lucy sobbed into Edmund's tunic, and Susan retold the story she had heard to her brothers. They both listened intently, and when she was finished, Peter nodded and looked at the youngest two. "Ed, get Lu to her bedroom." Edmund nodded, and shot them a look crossed between understanding and knowing. He then took Lucy, and took her to her room. After he was gone, Peter turned to Susan. "You'd better get some sleep too." He said softly, gently. She nodded, and Peter took her in his arms, hugging her tightly. Then reluctantly, he let go. Susan reluctantly did the same, and she bore into his sapphire blue eyes with her own blue ones. They drew closer together, and their lips made contact. Susan wrapped her arms around his neck while Peter wrapped his around her waist. He pulled her closer to him, and then broke off, their faces still only centimeters apart. He looked soulfully into her eyes before getting up, walked across the room, and closed the door behind him. Susan sighed, and laid down on her bed. Pretty soon, her eyes felt heavy, and she closed them, slipping into sleep where a disembodied voice haunted her nightmares.

She grinned. She couldn't help it. And she couldn't believe it. She was actually grinning. The Queen of Charn grins? What was the world coming to? Oh well. She just couldn't help it. The hundred had arrived. They were ready to march the next morning. She looked towards the dark sky, and she used her magic to send her voice to one of the Pevensies. Lucy. She was the littlest and probably the most scared of them all. She sent her voice, seemingly disembodied to the ears of Lucy Pevensie. With finished scaring the little queen, she receded, and smirked. Narnia would be her's in less than 24 hours.

It was dark. Her land was in flames. There was no living soul in sight…it was a tall, blond figure in front of her. The figure laughed and pointed down. She looked down. There were her siblings, all dead. Little Lucy, her eyes closed, a knife through her heart. Dark haired Edmund pale, red blood spilled from his neck. Then she saw him. Peter, his eyes wide open, and sword through his stomach, looking up at her with lifeless eyes. The figure then turned with an axe in her hand and headed towards her…

Susan awoke with a start. She remembered those terrifying nightmares. And her throat felt raw, as if she had been screaming. Suddenly, her door burst open, and Peter ran inside, and collapsed next to her, and then collecting her in his arms in a tight hug. "Su, are you ok?" Peter asked worriedly. She looked up at him, and she nodded a little, she was still scared and shocked from the terrible dreams. She then buried her head in his shirt, and then started sobbing. He hugged her even tighter, and Edmund and Lucy ran in.
"Susan, are you ok?" Edmund asked, like Peter, worriedly. Lucy thought for a moment, and said, "Su, what did you see in your dreams?" They could see Susan nodded, but when she faced them, her sapphire blue eyes were still filled with tears, and the tearstains on her porcelain cheeks. She took a shaky breath, and made sure Peter was with her before beginning. "It was like hell. Narnia. It looked like Hell itself. I saw Narnia up in flames, everything was dead, no living soul except for one tall blond figure, dressed in White. Then…then…" Susan faltered. Peter just hugged her tighter, reassuring her it was a dream and they were all with her. "Then what, Su?" Lucy asked, putting her hand in Susan's. Susan then looked up, and then whispered, "You were all dead. The figure pointed down, and you were all there…" She couldn't continue. She then pulled Peter closer, and started to sob uncontrollably once again. Peter tried his best to soothe her, to tell her it wasn't real.
No one spoke for as long as Susan cried. Finally, she sniffed and dried her tears. She looked up at Peter, his loving blue eyes captured her fearful ones, and told her it was alright. His hands cupped her cheek, and his thumbs brushed away her tears. She then faced her younger siblings. "It's alright. Go down and have some breakfast." She managed a small smile. Then Edmund looked at her and Peter, and he nodded, then beckoned Lucy to follow him. Lucy gave Susan a hug before disappearing out the door as well. With that, Susan turned to Peter. "You should go have some breakfast as well." Then Peter smiled, and kissed her. "Be down soon." He said, and left. Susan waited until he closed the door, before she got off her bed. Suddenly she felt nauseous and dizzy, the world spun, and everything turned black.
