A/N: I started the sequel to this story last night, so I guess I better finish the first one, right? Lol. Anyway, this story should have anywhere between four and ten parts left.

Disclaimer: Alyssa is mine

Alyssa was sitting with all of the Narnian's, watching Peter, the High King, battle with the Telmerine king. And, as far as she could see, he wasn't winning. "Come on, Pete." Alyssa said, clenching her teeth. "You're better than him. Come on."

Edmund might have been mad at Peter, but he didn't want to see him die. "Come on Pete." He muttered to himself. "Come on."

Peter swung and the King winced. Edmund glanced at the men on the other side of the circle. They were planning something. He knew it. They called a reprieve and Peter limped over, and Edmund instantly went to help him.

"It's dislocated." Edmund muttered as he looked over Peter's shoulder.

"What do you think happens to us back home if we die here?" Peter asked softly.

Edmund winced, but busied himself. "I don't know."

"You know, you've always been there, and I've never really thank-"

Edmund popped Peters shoulder back into place and he stopped talked, yelling out softly. "We'll talk about it later." Edmund said harshly. Peter stood as Susan ran over with Caspian.

"Lucy?" Peter asked.

"She got threw. With help." Susan said, motioning to Caspian.

"Thank you." Peter told him, though Edmund knew it killed him to say it.

"Well, you were busy." Caspian told him.

Edmund glanced over to the group of Narnian's, and his eyes met Alyssa's. She smiled at him brightly. He got the hint and instantly put a smile on his face. "Keep smiling." He told the other three.

All three of them put a smile on their faces and faced the Narnian's, who cheered in return. Edmund felt his smile turn into a smirk as he faced Alyssa and she rolled her eyes in return.

Susan went running towards the Narnian's as Peter and Edmund turned back to the fight.

Susan ran towards the Narnian's and came to a stop in front of Alyssa. "I do love you Alyssa." She said softly. "You're my sister." She smiled, sadly. "No matter which brother you are married to."

Alyssa leaned forward and hugged Susan. "You too." She glanced towards the archers. "You better get up there." She said softly.

Susan nodded, and then looked down at the sword hanging at Alyssa's hip. "They'll never forgive you if you die."

Alyssa smiled slightly. "Then I guess I won't die."

"TRAITORS!" The Telmerine shouted. "THEY KILLED OUR KING!"

Edmund and Peter looked at each other, then went running towards their horses. "BE READY!" Edmund yelled as he and Peter took their places.

"GO!" Peter yelled, and Caspian turned his horse and went.

"Ten." Peter started.

Edmund turned around and looked at Alyssa. She nodded to him, her sword in one hand, her shield in the other.

"Nine."

"I love you." Edmund mouthed.

"Eight."

"I love you too." Alyssa said.

"Seven."

Edmund and Alyssa continued to look at each other. Both of them understanding this could be the last time.

"One." Edmund faced front and saw the battle.

"Charge!"

Edmund raised his horse forward, fighting his way through the Telmarines.

"Retreat!" Peter yelled. Edmund glanced around, then went running, following his brother.

He looked around. Where was Alyssa?

He heard a crash and looked to see the doorway collapse, many falling with it. Everyone came to a stop.

"Susan." Peter said softly. Edmund followed his gaze and saw his sister hanging from the top of the building. She landed gracefully on the top of the doorway, then slid down. Everyone sighed in relief and Ed went back to searching for Alyssa.

He found her as she came running over to him, her dress ripped and a bruise forming on her cheek, dried blood was in her hair. "Aly." Edmund said softly.

Peter, Susan, Caspian, Edmund, and Alyssa all looked at each other for only a moment, then all turned to face the battle. They knew what they had to do.

"Aly." Ed whispered. He pulled her to him and kissed her quickly, ignoring the look Peter gave him, then took off running, Alyssa close behind him.
