Chapter 14:
Lucy opened her eyes and squinted in the sun that was streaming through her window and onto her bed sitting up she winced because there was still a small bit of pain in her stomach.
Getting out of bed she got ready into one of her favourite dress and making her way out the door saw a guard on the door eyeing him she said.
"What are you doing?" the guard stood to attention immediately.
"Your majesty High King Peter asked me..." but before he could finished she had walked down the corridor towards the door that led to a small courtyard in the middle of Cair Paravel.
Peter tried to concentrate on the book in front of him but all he could think about was Lucy she had been asleep for a day and a half now and with every passing moment he was getting more worried.
Giving up on the book he slammed it shut running his hand through his hair he just sat there staring out the window content at the quiet that had falling on the castle he was just dozing off when a commotion started just outside the door.
Standing up with frustration he pulled the door open and saw Lucy shouting fit to burst at the guard that was supposed to be outside her door.
"I KNOW YOUR JUST DOING YOUR JOB BUT AM CAPABLE OF WALKING DOWN THE CORRIDOR BY MYSELF" the guard replied scared at angering the Queen but scared how the high king would react if she went missing again.
"I'm sorry your majesty but..." but again he was cut off by Lucy saying.
"I WILL TAKE THE BLAME NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!" the guard just stood there shocked as the young Queen practically ran down the rest of the corridor.
Peter came out of his office and stood next to the guard. Turning his head the guard got a shock at seeing the high king himself there and started to splutter out.
"Y...our m...m...majesty I'm so...r...ry i..." but before he could go any further Peter patted to guard on his shoulder and said.
"Don't worry about it that's just how Lucy is" leaving the guard stunned Peter made his way down the corridor knowing where his youngest sister would be.
Angus trudged his way through the sands weighed down by his army uniform. He didn't know what this country was called but the lion had said that he would be able to stop another war what was that about he was just an ordinary guy from London serving his country in their own war never mind another countries war.
Reaching the top of the sand bank Angus surveyed the land around him and found a path that was easy to follow that went in the direction towards the castle.
Peter found Lucy sitting in the courtyard which was right in the middle of Cair Paravel Lucy had loved the courtyard from the day they had came there was a small fountain in the middle of it with flowers surrounding it.
No paths could be seen in the courtyard it was really just a patch of grass with a fountain on it but it was beautiful because whatever time of day it was the sun shone brightly down on it never casting it in shadow.
Lucy was perching on the edge of the fountain lazily waving her hand through the water Peter sighed and went to sit down next to her.
"You know you're lucky I found you and not Susan" Lucy giggled known what he meant Susan would have gone crazy if she found Lucy outside and not in bed.
"I'm ok Peter you don't have to know where i am all the time" she said glaring at her older brother Peter shakes his head at her and said.
"Lu I'm just worried about you i don't want you to get hurt...again" he added on the end remembering the state of her when they found them.
"It's amazing how mums here isn't it" Lucy said diverting the conversation away from her escapade's.
"Yeah it is" Peter said following her lead thinking that the memory was still very painful for Lucy.
Angus finally made it to the entrance of the castle he just stood there not knowing what to do finally resigning himself he lifted his hand which looked so small on the door of the castle and was about to knock but the door opened itself.
"How may I help you?" Angus stopped in his tracks because right in front of him was a beaver and it was talking to him because it talked again.
"Are you alright?" recovering from his shock he said to the beaver.
"The lion sent me something about stopping a war" at once the beaver let him in and told him to wait in the entrance hall.
Watching the beaver make its way up a grand staircase he looked around him there was a huge door directly in front of him probably leading to a ball room and hen loads of little doors around it he felt out of place standing in a grand castle in his muddy army uniform.
""Mr Tumnus have you seen Peter" Angus recognized that voice but it had been a long time since he heard it but it wasn't possible how could she be here he didn't have time to think though because the person who had spoken came through one of the small doors at that point.
He watched as his oldest daughter swept past him quickly in one of her usual rages over her brothers and sister she didn't even notice him standing there.
Not believing his eyes he followed her she was in a medieval looking dress with her hair hanging gracefully past her shoulders.
"Ed there you are now i have to only find Peter so you come with me as well" Angus looked round the corner to see his second youngest come out of a room and say to his sister.
"But Susan i was going to go practice with my sword"
"I don't care" Susan said getting frustrated and stalked off down the corridor with Edmund following her slowly.
Angus continued to follow them thinking all the way why they are here in this strange place peeking round the next corner he saw them go into a court yard which in it were sitting Peter and Lucy.
Susan and Edmund sat next to their brother and sister and all started to talk quietly so Angus could not hear them.
From across the corridor the beaver that had greeted Angus came forward to his children and said to them.
"You majesties there is a stranger who says Aslan sent him" Angus didn't here anymore though because he was in complete shock his kids were rulers.
