**I DO NOT OWN ANY CHARACTERS FROM THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA. THEY BELONG TO C.S. LEWIS.**

I looked around to try and see who the voice was when I saw the familiar, handsome face of Peter. However, the disgust and anger that was caked onto his face overpowered him. His eyes burned with hate and his lips formed a scowl. His chest was rising up and down rapidly and I knew that his hard breathing was caused from the rage that was coursing threw his veins like venom. He had the look of a man who wanted to kill. I had never seen Peter like that and I never wanted to again.

I saw something glisten in the moonlight and that's when I realized that Peter had his sword out, pointed at Lord Binwer. Lord Binwer got off of me and slowly raised himself up. Peter's sword never left the man's neck. I tried to get up but I couldn't move. My thighs hurt from where Lord Binwer grabbed me and my body felt heavy. I closed my eyes wanting to disappear. I was out of it so I don't know what Peter did with Lord Binwer.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed when someone touched me.

"Calm down, calm down. It's alright, it's ok. I'm here," Peter cooed trying to soothe me.

PETER'S POV

I kneeled beside her, turning her face towards me. She was shaking and looking at me with such fright I wanted to kill Lord Binwer. She tried to sit up but couldn't. I helped her up and she crashed her body against mine. She started to cry, scream and punch all of her emotions into my chest. I just stroked her hair and whispered gently in her ear while she let out all that she was feeling.

ANNALA'S POV

I'm not sure how long Peter and I were out there but I didn't care. I felt safe in his arms and I didn't want to leave. I had stopped screaming and my hands rested around Peter's neck but I was still crying and I'm sure I was a little snotty but that didn't matter. I looked at Peter and grabbed his face in my hands.

"You came. I thought you weren't going to come but you came. You came," I sobbed.

Peter held me tight in his arms and I continued to cry 'you came' into his chest. After a few minutes, Peter broke the silence.

"Come on, you need to get inside," he said into my hair.

I only nodded. I sat in the grass while Peter got up. I couldn't stand so Peter carried me back to the castle. I rested my head against his chest and listened to his heart beat. It soothed me and the last thing I thought before I drifted off was,

He came.

xXx

"Oh my, is she alright?"

I opened my eyes to see that I was in a bed that I didn't recognize. I turned my head to see Susan, Lucy, Edmund and Peter.

"Peter," I croaked.

Peter turned from his siblings to come and sit by me.

"I'm here," he said stroking my cheek tenderly.

I began to cry and Peter held me against his chest. I soon felt another pair of hands and looked to see that Lucy was rubbing my back also. I smiled weakly at her and she returned it.

"Are you alright?" she asked me in a whisper.

"I'm fine. Peter came in the knick of time." I felt Peter tense and I rubbed his arm to comfort him.

"What happened?" Edmund asked coming by my side followed my Susan.

I could see the worry lines on his face and Susan's complexation was pale from uneasiness.

Poor Edmund, he's been through enough with me.

I looked at them confused.

"Peter didn't tell you?"

They all shook their heads no and I looked at Peter.

"I didn't think that you would want them to know," was all he said.

He was right. I didn't want them to know what almost happened but at the same time they needed to know. It's their kingdom and they have to keep their people safe from monster's like Lord Binwer.

"What did you do with him?" I asked Peter ignoring the fact that there were others in the room.

"I had him placed in the dungeons until I know what to do with him," Peter growled.

"Peter love," I said cupping his face into my hands. "It's alright. I'm fine."

He looked me in the eyes and I could tell that he wanted to cry. Peter was strong but when it came to someone hurting his loved ones, Peter was an emotional wreck. It's a good thing he knew how to control it other wise I'd be a wreck too.

"I should have been there sooner," Peter said his voice full of shame.

"Ann, what happened?" Susan pressed gently reminding me that they were still here.

I squeezed Peter's hands in mine and continued to stare at him saying nothing.

"Ann, what happened?" Edmund asked with a troubled look, placing a hand on my shoulder.

I looked at him and bit my lower lip.

"Lord Binwer, he-"

Peter gave my hands a reassuring squeeze and I took a deep breath.

"He tried to rape me," I whispered.

I was soon wrapped up in a group hug. As much as I loved and appreciated their concern, I just wanted to be alone with Peter; I wanted to talk to Peter alone.

He blames himself even though nothing happened. It's all my fault, I should have told him that something wasn't right about this guy.

"Don't worry Ann, I'll figure out what to do with him. You just get some sleep," Ed whispered looking at me.

I nodded my head in understanding. Edmund gave me a small peck on the forehead followed by Lucy and Susan who gave me a small peck on the cheek. They shut the door behind them leaving me and Peter alone.

"Where am I?" I asked Peter looking around.

"In my room; I want you to stay with me tonight so that you are safe."

He looked me in the eyes.

"Peter," I hesitated. "There's something you need to know."

Peter tensed up and furrowed his brow. He looked at me with distress but said nothing.

PETER'S POV

I knew it! I didn't get there in time, he did rape her!

"Lord Binwer has put the moves on me before," she quietly said.

At first I didn't understand what she meant but when it finally registered, I was crazed.

"WHAT?" I shouted

"Don't be angry," she said placing her hand on my thigh and picking at invisible lint. "It's just that, well when Lord Binwer first arrived he proclaimed his love for me."

"That's absurd, he only knew you for a few hours," I denoted.

"Tell me about it," she tried to joke.

"Nala, what did he do to you?" I pressed.

She pursed her lips together and drummed her fingers on my leg.

"Well first he grabbed my arm when I tried to walk away from him-"

"HE'S TOUCHED YOU BEFORE?" I bellowed.

"Peter love calm down," she said moving my hair out of my face. "Don't worry, Chestnut and Runcas were there. Then when I went to the stables for a ride he followed me there. Then when I came back inside he proclaimed his love for me and sealeditwithakiss," she said smashing the last few words together.

"He. Kissed. You.?"

"Edmund saw a-"

"What? Edmund was there? Why didn't he tell me?" I roared.

I was angry. So tonight wasn't the first night that Lord Binwer made moves. Not to mention that Edmund, my own brother, didn't let me know what was happening under my own nose.

"Don't be angry. I'm the one who told him not to tell you," she said.

"Why?" I asked.

"I'm not really sure. I thought that maybe after Edmund gave him a talking to he would leave me alone. Well he did for a while but tonight-" she said starting to sob again.

I wrapped her up in a tight hug not wanting to let go. Even though I was mad at everything I just found out, I could deal with that later. Right now, Nala needed me more than anything.

ANNALA'S POV

"I should have had a better eye on you. I never-"

I cut him off by placing a kiss on his lips.

"Peter, stop. You had no way of knowing that this would have happened. But like I said you came just in time. It's over. It's over," I weakly smiled at him.

Peter seemed to calm down a bit, a small bit, but none the less he was calm.

"Come on," I said patting the empty space next to me. "Let's get some sleep."

Peter got off of the bed, blew out the lamp and climbed into bed not even bothering to change his clothes. I snuggled close to Peter and breathed in his scent. That night, I feel asleep safe and warm in Peter's arms.
