Hello everyone! I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to update this story. It has been a really crazy couple of weeks, and a family member died who I was really close to, so I just didn't have enough enthusiasm to write anything that anyone would want to read – let alone like. But, I have finally finished this chapter, and I really hope that you will like it! This is the final chapter of this story, but never fear! I have a really good idea for a sequel, if you guys would be willing to read one. Plus, don't forget about my Peter and Annalia story, which I'm hoping will be posted by the middle of August. And, as always, I don't own any part of the Chronicles of Narnia and the bolded stuff in the dialogue is from the movie Prince Caspian.

Before I let you read the chapter, I would just like to thank each and every one of you have reviewed, favourited, or followed my story. Your support has been awesome! And, it gives me pleasure to type for the last time…

Misdirected Anger Chapter 11

Susan sighed as she walked around the courtyard in Caspian's castle. It was a gorgeous day, and she couldn't wait until after Caspian had talked to the Narnians and Telemarines about whatever he had to, so that she would be free to go horseback riding through the valleys and forests to the ruins of Cair Paravel.

"Hi, Su," called Peter as he walked into the courtyard. "Have you seen Lucy and Edmund this morning?"

"I thought that I heard Ed mention something about putting a barricade up from the lamppost to the back of the wardrobe so that no one can leave Narnia. That was last night, though," she replied.

Peter burst out laughing. "That sounds like Ed."

Suddenly, Aslan approached the two of them. "Peter and Susan," he started. "I am glad that I have found you. Would you both take a walk around the courtyard with me?"

Susan shrugged. "Sure."

As she and Peter followed Aslan, he said, "I wanted to talk to you two about the meeting that will happen later today. I will open a door, which shall lead to your world. If there are any Telemarines that wish to make a new start, they are welcomed to go through that door, and do so."

"Great," muttered Peter. "You're sending them all to us."

Susan glared at him as Aslan continued. "I know that some of the Telemarines may think that I am leading them into a trap, and I need someone to be an example to them, and walk through the door."

"You want us to do that?" asked Susan.

Aslan nodded.

"But Aslan, couldn't someone else do it? You have no idea how hard it is to leave, and then come back again hundreds of years later. Couldn't we just stay?" suggested Peter.

"It is so difficult to say good-bye. None of us could bear it, especially knowing that when we return, our friends very well may not be here," added Susan.

"Peter, Susan, this is the reason why I wanted to talk to you alone. I know that this will not be easy for you, and even though you are both very strong, this will hurt you very much."

Aggravated, Peter looked at Aslan. "What is it?"

Taking a deep breath, Aslan said, "You will not be returning to Narnia again."

Susan and Peter stopped dead in their tracks. "What?" they both asked.

There was sadness in the great lion's eyes as he continued. "You know that I love you both very much, and that I would never do anything to cause you unnecessary pain. But, you have learned all that you can from Narnia. There is nothing more that I have to teach you. It is now time for you to live your own lives in your own world. You cannot co-exist between the two anymore."

"But this is our world, Aslan! This is our home! We are far more a part of this world than we are of our own!" cried Susan.

"And it is now time for you to become part of your world, dear ones. You must trust me on this matter," he replied.

"Aslan," started Peter. "When we are in England, we feel as though we are in the world, but not of it. We are of this world! You have to let us stay! You have to!"

"And," added Susan, "We'll never see you again. How can you just leave us like this?"

"Susan, I will never leave you. I am very present in your world, just as I am in this world. But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there." (A/N: The bold in the paragraph is from the chapter 16 of the book The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.)

"But we only just got back! Couldn't we stay?"

"Susan, you were meant to return for a reason. Now that the task is completed, you must go."

"But…"

"Susan, as hard as this is, you must accept it. I am sorry that this must happen. However, you must remember that you were never meant to stay in Narnia forever. Sooner or later, you would have returned to your own world."

"So, even if we had stayed in Narnia the first time, we would have been sent back eventually?" asked Peter.

Aslan nodded. "Yes. You were never meant to live your entire lives in Narnia. You were born in your world. You grew up there, you shall live the rest of your days there, and you shall one day die there."

Peter glanced at Susan, and noticed that tears were flooding down her cheeks. He pulled her into him and held her, letting her cry.

A few minutes later, Susan pulled away from Peter, still crying, and the three started walking again.

"Will Ed and Lu ever come back?" asked Susan, her voice shaky.

Aslan nodded.

"Lucky," mumbled Peter.

"The others still have much to learn from Narnia. They must continue returning until they have learned all that they can, just as you two have done."

As they heard footsteps echoing from the stairs, the three turned to face Caspian.

"We are ready," Caspian started. "Everyone has assembled."

Susan looked at Aslan, and then followed as he led herself, Peter, and Caspian away.

"Narnia belongs to the Narnians just as it does to man. Any Telemarines who want to stay and live in peace are welcome to. And for any of you who wish, Aslan will return you to the home of our forefathers," said Caspian.

"It has been generations since we left Telmar." called a Telemarine lord.

"We are not referring to Telmar," started Aslan. "Your ancestors were sea-faring brigands, pirates run aground on an island. There they found a cave, a rare chasm that brought them here from their world, the same world as our kings and queens. It is to that island I can return you. It is a good place for any who wish to make a new start."

After a long silence, General Glozelle said, "I'll go. I will accept the offer."

"So will we," added Prunaprismia.

Glozelle, Prunaprismia, her baby, and her father all approached Aslan. He told them, "Because you have spoken first, your future in that world will be good."

And after he breathed on them, the tree that was standing behind Caspian formed an opening. They slowly walked over to the tree and walked through it, suddenly vanishing!

"How do we know that he is not leading us to our deaths!" yelled a Telemarine peasant.

"Sire, if my example can be of any service, I will take eleven mice though with no delay," suggested Reepicheep.

Aslan looked at Peter and Susan. After glancing at Susan, Peter said, "We'll go."

"We will?" asked Edmund, confused.

"Come on," started Peter, looking at Susan as he finished. "Our time's up. After all, we're not really needed here anymore."

Peter then walked over to Caspian, and handed him his most treasured possession in both worlds – his sword, Rhindon.

Taking it, Caspian replied, "I will look after it until you return."

"I'm afraid that's just it," interrupted Susan. "We're not coming back."

Caspian's face fell, and Lucy asked, horrified, "We're not?"

"You two are. At least, I think he means you two." Peter looked at Aslan.

"But why? Did they do something wrong?" cried Lucy.

"Quite the opposite, dear one. But all things have their time. Your brother and sister have learned what they can from this world. Now it's time for them to live in their own," explained Aslan.

"It's all right, Lu. It's not how I thought it would be, but it's all right. One day you'll see, too. Come on."

Peter took Lucy's hand, nodding for Edmund to follow, and led them over to where their friends were standing.

As Peter shook Glenstorm's hand, Edmund, Lucy, Dr. Cornelius, Trufflehunter, Reepicheep, and Trumpkin all bowed to each other. Lucy gave a small curtsey to Trumpkin, who nodded. Sighing, Lucy pulled the dwarf into a bone crushing hug.

Susan, who had walked over to Caspian, said, "I'm glad I came back."

"I wish we had more time together," he replied.

After thinking for a witty response to that, she answered, "It never would have worked out, anyway."

"Why not?"

"I am 1300 years older than you," she smiled.

As Susan started to walk away, she thought, "Looking back on this, will I have any regrets about how I said good bye?"

Then, on a sudden impulse, Susan turned around, practically ran up to Caspian, and kissed him. As she pulled away, Caspian hugged her.

Lucy looked over at Peter, and whispered, "I'm sure when I'm older I'll understand."

"I'm older and I don't think I want to understand," added Edmund.

Susan stepped away from Caspian, looking up at him one last time, and then walked over to her brothers and sister. Peter looked at her, nodding slightly, then Lucy took her sister's hand, just itching to tease her by asking when the wedding would be.

And, after taking one last look at the world that they had all grown to love and call home, the four Pevensies walked through the door in the tree. First Edmund, then Peter, Susan, and Lucy.

They all looked around themselves as they were suddenly on the platform where their adventure had begun. Lucy turned, looking where the tree, Caspian, and Aslan should have all been standing. Instead, she saw school children rushing along the busy platform. The four of them just stood there, stunned, as the subway pulled in.

The boy who had been annoying Susan earlier that day in England turned to her, and asked, "Aren't you coming, Phyllis?"

Peter and Edmund looked at each other wondering who Phyllis was, but grabbed their bags, and followed Susan and Lucy onto the subway car.

"Do you think there's any way we could get back?" asked Edmund. The others all looked at him. "I've left my new torch in Narnia!"

The four of them laughed as the doors closed, and they were whisked down the tracks.

And as they stood, both Peter and Susan thought that they heard a voice whisper, "You'll come back when it's over, no need to say good bye."
