Disclaimer: I don't own Narnia. I own Madison and Taylor. Enough said.
Chapter 14
"You and Edmund kissed?" Madi said with excitement in her voice. Taylor shushed her best friend as she closed the door and made her way over towards the desk and sat in the chair.
"Keep it down and we almost kissed" Taylor said.
"Oh my god what happened?"
"I don't know it's like one minute we're talking and the next we're almost kissing" she replied.
"Why didn't it happen?" Madi asked.
"We got interrupted saying the storm was over from one of the crew members" Taylor mumbled.
"Did you want to kiss him?" she asked.
"It would've been unexpected that's for sure but at the same time, it would've been so romantic" Taylor admitted. "But I'm afraid that if we do have something between us then when the time for us to go back, it'll be heartbreaking to leave."
"We need to make the time that we're spending here worth it before we leave" Madi said. A realization came over Madi and she looked over at Taylor with a weird look on her face.
"What is it?" Taylor asked.
"Have you noticed something with Lucy that whenever we mentioned going home, she has like an unsure look on her face?"Madi asked.
"I think so does she wants us to stay?"
"I have no idea. I don't even know if she's the type of person that wants us to stay it's like she's hiding something and she, Edmund and Caspian know something, unless you do" Madi replied.
"No I don't" Taylor said quickly.
"Are you sure?"
"Positive" she said.
"You're acting a bit weird also" Madi said.
"Oh well um, maybe it's just we've been out at sea for so long" Taylor said, with a convincing voice that she hoped Madi would believe.
Madi simply shrugged. "I don't know but I'll be out soon I need to bathe quick seeing I guess Caspian had someone brought in a tub when I was sleeping" she said.
"I see that" Taylor said. As soon as she was out of the room, Taylor relaxed for a moment. She knew the looks Lucy had been giving them whenever they mentioned home. She knew that Lucy knew about the prophecy.
She wondered if she knew about who was to stay and who was to go?
Madi felt refreshed and a little bit better after last night. She decided to wear her clothes from last night and found a pair of brown boots to go along with her outfit. As she was heading out to the upper deck, she stopped to take one last look at her room.
Her room was still the same from last night. She walked in there slowly and picked up the bookend that was on the floor. She grazed over it with her fingers as memories came flooding back from last night. Could it be that it was really the White Witch that came back?
A shiver went down her spine as she put the bookend back in its original place. She reached for her bag and dug through it for awhile before she found her IPOD. She shoved it in her pants pocket along with her lighter. She took one last look around her room before she walked out to join the others.
"So if we were to go about thirty miles east we would reach Ramandu's Island" Caspian said.
"And that's where we're suppose to get help on whatever that spooked Madison" Drinian said.
"Hopefully" he replied. Caspian looked up and saw that Edmund was staring at the map intently. He was being quiet.
"Would you excuse us Drinian?" he asked.
"Of course my lord" he replied, leaving the room.
"Okay Ed spill" Caspian said.
Edmund looked up and saw him. "What are you talking about?" he asked.
"Well for one thing you would be with us on the map but today you looked distracted and unusually quiet" Caspian replied.
Edmund sighed before he sat on the couch. "Taylor and I almost kissed" he said.
"You did?" Caspian said with a small grin.
"Yeah but then it didn't happen and she looked like she wanted to but she seemed to forgot about it" he said.
"You love her, don't you?"
"Ever since we met, it's like she's my soul mate but I know it won't last because the girls will be going home once this madness is over" he said.
"Ed, why do you doubt about you and Taylor?" Caspian asked.
"I don't know I'm afraid that if something was to happen and she leaves, she'll move on" Edmund said. "What about you and Madi?"
"I don't know what you're talking about" Caspian said.
"Admit it you have feelings for her too."
"I guess I do I mean she is beautiful even if she doesn't know it not to mention she's quite a fiery personality also" he said.
"Then I guess we need to make the moments with them count."
"You're right" he said. Just at that moment, Lucy walked in.
"What is it Luce?" Edmund asked.
"I found something out" she said with a worried look on her face.
"We seriously need to practice our sword fighting" Madi said as the girls were walking on the ship.
"Why?"
"Because we only had like what, once practice before we came here" she said.
"It's not like we're going to fight or anything."
"You can never be too prepared" Madi said.
Taylor looked at her friend as her hair was blowing in her face. She pushed it back as the sun shined brightly on them.
"I guess you're right" she said.
"I think there's a training room somewhere beneath the ship" Madi said.
"I'll ask Edmund or Lucy, I'll be back" Taylor said.
"Where are they anyways? I haven't seen them since this morning" Madi asked.
"Beats the hell out of me" Taylor replied.
The girls went their separate ways as Taylor went up the stairs. She reached the corridor and headed down the hallway. She was holding her dagger next to her just in case.
She continue the walk until she past the room that she saw out of the corner of her eye that Caspian, Lucy and Edmund were around a table huddled together. She stepped back so they wouldn't see her. She leaned against the wall as she heard their conversation.
Her mother had always taught her to never eavesdrop on to someone's conversation. But her mother wasn't here so she could break this rule, one time.
"Are you sure?" Edmund asked.
"Positive. I found it in one of the books in the study. I had to read it over before I was sure" Lucy replied.
Taylor peaked in the room only to see Caspian leaned over and the siblings their backs at the doorway.
"How are we supposed to let them know?" Caspian asked sadly.
"Only Taylor knows part of the prophecy. She found the paper in between the crates" Edmund said.
What do they know now?
"When do we tell them?"
"As soon as we land in Narnia" Caspian replied.
"They're not going to be happy."
"Edmund of course not, why would they be happy if they're going to be separated" Lucy said.
Who is?
"I don't want to have to let Taylor know that Madi has to stay in Narnia and she goes home without her" Edmund said.
Taylor gasped and dropped her dagger. The three royals' heads shot up as they heard movement outside the room. Taylor quickly picked up her dagger and took off while Edmund ran over to the doorway and saw only blonde hair turning the corner.
Taylor kept on running until she got to her room. She slammed the door shut and slid down to the floor, leaning against the door. She started to breathe heavy as tears started to pool in her eyes and fall rapidly down her face.
Madison was to stay in Narnia while she goes home.
They were going to be separated forever.
A/n: How's that for a twist? What will Taylor do? Stick around to find out.
Also in this story, more of Taylor's personality will come out. I'm trying to work on that the best that I could so bear with me on it!
Next chapter will be them landing and jealousy will come to play not to mention a few surprises along the way. I'm not giving it away though. You think I would? I don't think so.
