AN: Hi! I know I used to post more than one chapter per week, but now I will only be able to post one ore sometimes none because exams are coming up. Sorry!

Edmund POV

"-And then she called me a traitor!" I said chopping off the dummy's head off. I had just explaining my not-really-but-sort-of-row with Thalia to Peter.

Peter stayed silent for a few minutes. "Well, you kind of asked for it. I mean you guys did kiss," I cringed at the emphasize of the word, "and you didn't push her away, and then you suddenly slam into her face that you're not even friends. She had no one here, Ed. You got to try and understand her."

I sat down on the step and put my head in my hands and rubbed my temples.

"How did she know I betrayed Narnia?" I said in hushed voice.

"That …would be my fault" Peter said looking away.

I looked at him quizzically.

"I… gave her books explaining the history of Narnia."

"Why did she only mention it… Now?"

"She has dyslexia. So she reads slower. Or maybe she just didn't want to mention it to you, because she didn't want to tell you."

Thalia POV

I walked into the council room, not looking at Edmund. Everyone stared.

"What?" I demanded.

There was an awkward silence.

"Um… well King Edmund told us… you wouldn't be participating in the war." A goat said.

"Really?" I said, turning to look at the interested. "Then there must have been a miss understanding."

"No there wasn't." Edmund said with a sigh, running a hand through his hair. "You're not participating Thalia. Last time you got hurt. It's not safe for you."

His eyes were pleading me to understand him, and for forgiveness. I knew he was trying to be kind and caring. But I declined it.

"Really? Well a lot of soldier got hurt, but they're still going to fight. I don't see how I'm any different." I said turning around.

(still) Thalia POV

We were losing. All over, the smaller animals were bringing the wounded to the castle, as the remaining standing we're being massacred by the Calormens.

To my right, Peter was surrounded by 10.

Susan was doing her best to hit as much with her arrows, but she was running out.

Lucy, silly Lucy, decided to come and fight against Peter's will. She was trapped.

Edmund, oh Edmund, was bleeding at to many places to count, but was still firm on his horse, fighting like a mad-man.

I had no choice.

I let my power, which I had been holding back for ages, flow into my hands. Lightning struck out of my hands, full force. All the Calormens down.

(once again) Thalia POV

"Sorceress!"

"Witch!"

"Monster!"

Only a few of the writable names I got. They had locked me up. Why? Because I used my powers to help them. I was so confused. They locked me up. Why? Why? I SAVED them. We would of lost!

"Thalia?"

"Edmund!" I exclaimed. I ran to the cell door, but was held back by the chains around my wrists. I was hurt by how Edmund backed away when I ran towards him. Tears flowed into my eyes.

He slowly opened the cell door and walked in, closing the door behind him and putting the key in his pocket.

"Thalia, please calm down. It's going to be OK. They just locked you up for precaution before Peter decides if you're … safe or not. Please understand. The last time someone had powers as strong as yours, she put an eternal winter on Narnia."

I looked into the chocolate brown eyes and looked at any sign of disgust or repulsion.

I didn't. All I saw was fear. Of the war or of me, I couldn't tell.

"Will… will he decide soon?"

"He's holding a council right now. Hold on." He said with a slight smile.

I nodded slowly.

He turned around.

"Edmund… wait. Can you tell them that I can explain? I have a reason for hiding my powers. Please. I don't intend to take over Narnia. I really don't. I'm not a monster." I got more and more scared panicked. All the feelings I had bottled up since I first arrived at Narnia started resurfacing. Tears streamed down my cheeks and my breath was becoming shorter and irregular.

He slowly bent over me and placed a soft kiss on my lips before slowly pulling back and looking in my eyes.

"I know. I know you're not a monster. I love you Thalia."
