Peter

I spent the next week preparing rations, weapons, and soldiers to go to different locations. Most stayed inland, away from borders, but I sent a few to the borders, to try and stop Feriatha's forces from advancing. I walked down the hall, wanting to catch Anna.

I searched for a few minutes before I found her with Lorna. I smiled, and stepped in the room. "Hey." I said.

She turned, "Hey." I kissed her cheek, and sat next to her. "What's going on?" She asked.

"We need to talk." I said. She straightened, her eyes curious. "It's about Feriatha, I don't know where she'll strike next. Who knows, she got in here twice before." I saw her face fall, as she glanced at the baby. "I know." I said, before she could say anything. "Do me a favor, have a place to put the kids, and always, always, carry a knife on you, please."

Anna sighed, "Alright, I'll see where we can put them." She kissed my cheek, and stood. "The sooner the better." She left the room, and I stood, watching her round a corner. Edmund came around the corner after a minute.

"Hey, Pete." He said, intending to move on.

"Wait." I said. He stopped mid-step, and turned back, waiting. "Keep a sword on you, at all times. Please." I said. Edmund grimaced, and nodded, turning around, back to his room.

I went downstairs, to the throne room, where Aslan was waiting. "I see you're preparing your family." He said. I nodded. "Wise." He added.

"How are we going to beat her?" I asked, staring out a window.

"The truth, Peter?" Aslan asked. I nodded absentmindedly. "I don't know."

I whirled around. "You have no clue?" I yelled. Aslan only sighed. "You have no idea how to beat her? Or what we can do to weaken her?" Aslan shook his head. I sighed, and slumped into a nearby chair.

The doors opened, and Lucy walked in, her face concerned. "What's with the shouting?" She asked.

Aslan and I both looked over. I sighed. "We-" My voice broke. I took a deep breath, and continued. "We don't know how to beat Feriatha." I stated. Lucy walked over, and laid a hand on my shoulder.

"Of course you don't, but we will. We'll find out how to beat her. We just need some action to break the ice, causing an avalanche." She said. I smiled at her, sometimes I wasn't so sure Susan was the wiser of the two.

"You're right, Lucy. Thanks." I replied. She smiled, and gave me a hug, before wandering off.

I looked to Aslan, I nodded, and stood. I threw open the doors, and walked out.
