Fearing the Woods
'Lucy' A soft voice called. Lucy struggled to open her eyelids as they just felt so heavy. She was confused as to how she got where she was. It felt like she was lying on soft ground but she was pretty sure the last place she was, was in the throne room. Lucy also felt her dress was lighter, like the Narnian ones but again she was positive that she was wearing a Telmarine dress before she had passed out.
At least she hoped she had passed out.
Lucy also remembered that Driand had thrown a dagger at her, whether or not it hit was different story.
'Lucy' The voice called again. Lucy tried to sigh but she couldn't. I can't move! Lucy screamed inside her head.
'Try sitting up' The voice said. Lucy twitched her fingers and, to her surprise she moved them. Then her arm, her legs and finally she could sit up.
'Thank you!' She called out, but could see no one. Lucy cast her eyes around the place she was in. It was very white and a light mist was twirling around her. She could hear the sound of running water and faintly saw the outline of some hills and what she thought was the sea. Lucy wanted to stand but wasn't sure of she could manage it.
'Trust yourself.' The voice echoed. Lucy was curious to know who the voice belonged to, so she tried to stand. At first she was a bit wobbly but she gradually got the hang of it.
'See you knew you could do it, dear one' Lucy spun round. She recognised the voice.
And when she saw the great figure of the mighty Aslan, a smile that stretched from ear to ear spread across her face.
'Aslan!' She cried and ran to him. Lucy was actually quite surprised that she could run. She flung her arms into his mane and hugged him. 'Oh Aslan! I thought I wouldn't see you again!' Lucy sniffed. Aslan chuckled.
'Little one. I am always with you' Suddenly Lucy remembered her siblings and Driand.
'We have to help my Peter, Susan and Edmund!' She cried. 'Driands got them captive! I tried to free them but then I passed out.' Aslan looked gravely at her.
'Sweet Lucy. You did not pass out' Lucy looked down at her chest and cried out in horror. There on her dress was a big red stain. Then it hit her.
'I'm dead, aren't I?' She whispered. Aslan nodded.
'Do not fret dear one for the time will come very soon for you to be with your siblings. But first I must explain to you what happened at Cair Paravel while you were away. You must know that your siblings did not hate you' Alsan told her. Lucy stiffened. She didn't want to think about what her brothers and sister thought of her.
Lucy sat down while Aslan explained everything that had happened. Lucy was glad that Edmund had worked out why she had left. Lucy could not stand it any longer. She was glad that Peter hadn't liked Prince Rolden. She was pleased that he had said he missed her. Lucy almost cried when she heard that Edmund and Susan had sat crying over her. When Aslan had finished his story Lucy was bursting with questions.
'What are they doing now?' She blurted out.
'Lucy, they have gone to war with Telmar. Cair Paravel has been destroyed. Come with me and I shall show you' Lucy followed Aslan to a pool nearby. He breathe don it and an image appeared. Lucy gasped when she saw it. Cair Paravel was in flames and there were ruins everywhere. She knew her brothers were in there somewhere.
'Aslan. You said I was returning to my siblings'
'That I did.'
'I'm going to end it aren't I?' She asked.
'Yes. You are'
'How?' Lucy inquired.
'Part of the ancient magic is deep within you Lucy. When you are in your greatest need, it will aid you. It will help you end the battle.' Aslan said.
'Will I come back?'
'Back where, dear one'
'To here. Will I come here or stay in Narnia. Will I come back from the dead?' Lucy asked, tears in her eyes.
'We shall see. But now. Let us ride!' Lucy smiled as she clambered onto the lion's back and they rode off.
It felt like hours until they could finally see the smoke rising from Cair Paravel. Lucy bit her lip to prevent her from crying out. Aslan rode towards it. When they reached the gates, Lucy couldn't see a thing through the smoke.
'Do not worry. You can do it.' Aslan whispered to her. Lucy walked in a bit and then Aslan roared his mighty roar and everything went quiet. Lucy was now fully engulfed in the smoke. She found it easy to breath. I need to find Peter! She thought and just like that she felt a surge of magic through her. Putting her hands out in front of her, she felt a vibration through her and then the smoke was gone.
She was speechless. All over the ground there were bodies piled on top of each other and every one of them was bloody. Many fauns and centaurs were lying awkwardly on the ground, swords sticking out of their bodies. There was not one bit of the ground that wasn't red. Lucy only realised that she was in the middle of a raging battle when a man lunged at her. Lucy put her hands out and the man fell dead. She stood frozen to the ground. She couldn't believe she'd done what she just did. Looking around, Lucy saw Driand leaning over someone. She ran towards him and boy was she going to give him a surprise. Taking a deep breath she flicked her hands and Driand flew backwards. To Lucy's horror the person Driand was leaning over was Peter. His eyes were semi-opened and Lucy knew she had to kill Driand first. Lucy walked over to where Driand was getting up and looked him in the eye.
'Impossible' she heard him whisper.
'You didn't quite finish me off' Lucy spat. Driand pulled out his sword. 'Put that pathetic excuse for a weapon away'
'You want to be careful what you say, Little Lucy' Driand tutted. Lucy rolled her eyes.
'I want you dead. I am stronger and braver than you' Lucy seethed.
'Funny, that's exactly what Peter said before I stabbed him.'
'I don't find it funny. And nether will you once you're dead'
'Lucy, I don't know how you're here but give up. I have your castle'
'But you will never have Narnia!' Lucy screamed and thrust Driand backwards. Driand yelled in pain but Lucy wasn't finished with him. She dragged Driand back to her and thrust him into the wall again. She could get used to using magic. Driand was crawling away but Lucy walked up to him with his sword.
'I told you I could win' She whispered in his ear before she thrust the sword into his heart. Lucy backed away from her worst enemy. She turned her back and faced the courtyard. It seemed everyone had stopped to see the fight between the dead queen and the Telmarine leader. The Telmarines had looks of fear on their faces and were backing away. Lucy wasn't going to let them go. She drew her arms back and was about to fire hell when a soft paw landed on her shoulder.
'Magic is a rare thing. Use it wisely.' Aslan said. Lucy felt ashamed; she was going to kill the Telmarines for being who they were.
'Telmarines I order you to leave Narnia. If I find any one who had not left by noon tomorrow, I shall have them executed by the high laws of Narnia for treason.' Aslan announced.
'LUCY!' Lucy spun round to see Edmund running towards her. Lucy squeaked and ran towards her brother, who she tackled to the ground. When they had both got up she remembered Peter.
'Pete' She whispered and before anyone knew it she was running off in the direction of her older brother.
'Lucy, is that really you?' Peter croaked when Lucy reached him. Lucy smiled.
'Yes, Peter its really me' She replied.
'I saw you, you were amazing and thanks to you we won' Peter said, pain etched across his face.
'Shut up and don't talk. I need my cordial'
'Lu, you don't have your cordial, its buried in the ruins' Edmund said when he crouched down. Lucy stopped breathing.
'How can I heal Peter?' As soon as she said it she knew what to do. Placing her hands over Peter wound she concentrated. When Peter yelped in surprise she knew she had done it.
'Lu? Where did you learn that?' Peter asked, sitting up. Lucy just smiled.
'Where's Susan?' She asked suddenly.
'She's down in the caves, I'll go find her' Peter said and without another word he was off. Aslan then came over.
'Lucy, it is time for you to go' He said. Lucy started to cry. 'Time for you to return to your body' Lucy stared at him in amazment.
'I'm staying?' She asked. Aslan nodded. Lucy laughed and Edmund hugged her.
'I will have to send you to your body, which is in a critical condition. She will survive Edmund, do no fret but it will take a while' Aslan told Edmund. 'Edmund, she will not remember anything from this day so do not say anything. Tell Peter and Susan' Aslan added.
'Are you ready?' Aslan asked Lucy. Lucy nodded.
'Always'
And with that Aslan's breath made her feel weak and fell to the ground knowing that very soon she would be with her family.
That took me a long time, again!
