I Need You Now Chapter 21
I wasn't nervous about the fight between Miraz and Peter until he actually got his armour on. Then when I saw him with his armour on, holding the handle of his sword, is when I started freaking out. I knew that peter was tough; I knew that he was an amazing swordsman. But I also knew that he hadn't really practised in a while.
Yes I knew that he fought against Caspian, and that he fought at the castle, but this was different. Susan stopped Caspian and Peter from fighting too much, and the Telmarine soldiers weren't really a match for Peter. But this was different. Miraz had to be a good fighter, it was inevitable.
"Are you ready Pete?" I heard Edmund ask and I looked over at him for a moment before I looked away and tried not to get emotional. This was not the time to get emotional; I had to be strong and calm, and confident for him.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I looked back at Peter and saw him smiling confidently at me. He didn't look nervous at all. He walked towards me and he pulled me into a tight hug, and lightly kissed my forehead. I leaned into peter more and closed my eyes for a moment. Everything felt still, it felt like it was just Peter and I. But when he pulled away and started talking to a faun, I knew that it wasn't just him and I.
'He'll be alright." I looked over at Edmund and he flashed me a reassuring smile before he followed Peter and the faun out of the How. I stood there for moment thinking to myself, but once I realised that they had left the How, I quickly ran after them.

I stood on one side of Peter and looked at Miraz for a moment before I looked at the Telmarine army. They had a lot more fighting then we did, and it was clear that this wouldn't be easy. Even if we did wipe out half of them, they'd still have more than we would.
I looked away from the Telmarine army and back to peter and Edmund who were talking quietly amongst themselves, but they quickly stopped. Peter turned towards me and he took off his helmet and handed it to Edmund before turning his entire body towards me.
"Elizabeth if anything happens, anything happens at all, I want you to go back to the How and fight with Susan." I looked at Peter and shook my head lightly. Nothing will happen, nothing is going to happen.
"Nothing will happen peter. You'll win and everything will work out." I told him, but it sounded like I was telling myself that.
"I love you Elizabeth." I stared tearing up when I realised that Peter was saying goodbye. He was saying goodbye in case if anything happened.
"Peter..." I tried to say something but my mouth went dry and I couldn't find anything to say.
"I love you." I told Peter quietly. I looked up into his eyes and we stared at each other for a moment before he bent down and gently pressed his lips on mine. I closed my eyes and I leaned in, but before I could kiss back, he broke the kiss and grabbed his helmet again. He quickly put it on and then grabbed his sword. I could see him taking deep breaths, getting ready to fight Miraz
I watched as peter walked towards Miraz with his sword drawn. He held it down by his side and he started almost circling him, just watching him.
"There is still time to surrender." I heard Miraz tell Peter, his voice laced with arrogance.
"Good advice." I mumbled to myself, not sure if anyone else heard me say it, but when Edmund chuckled, I knew that he had heard me.
"How many must die for the throne?" I glared at Miraz and clenched my hands down by my sides. He was a bloody murderer! A murderer and he acted like what he had done wasn't horrible.
"Just one." Peter spat out at Miraz and I saw him getting into a fighting stance. I quickly took a deep breath to try and calm my nerves, but I knew that as soon as they started fighting, it would just get worse.
I watched carefully as Peter jumped off of a ruin and attacked Miraz with his sword, but Miraz quickly blocked it. They faced each other again and Peter tried to hit Miraz but he blocked with his shield.
"Edmund...tell me everything's going to be okay." I whispered to him. He didn't say anything and I turned to look at him. He was watching the fight closely, maybe even closer than I was, and he didn't even seem to register what I had said. But even when he did register it, he didn't say anything. It seemed like he wanted to believe everything would be okay, but he couldn't tell.
We both knew that peter was strong. We both knew that he could defeat many of his opponents without trying too hard. But this wasn't just a soldier or this wasn't just for fun. This was a King who was taller, older, and looked like he had more muscle mass than Peter. This was a King who was not going to back down.

"You're staring you know." I blushed and looked down at my legs for a moment before looking back up at a grinning Susan. I couldn't help it, Peter was so...handsome. His hair had gotten a little longer than he liked and it fell into his eyes hiding his beautiful blue eyes.
"I can't help it Susan. He's so..." I sighed and leaned against the fence. I had been daydreaming about Peter a lot. It was so hard not to because we'd been through so much together. I liked him so much and he seemed to like me, I think. But we still hadn't really gotten together.
I mean when we were battling the White Witch, we were sort of together. We both admitted that we liked each other, but we didn't start courting. I wish we would though...
"Why don't you talk to him and flirt with him?" Susan asked giving me a kind smile. It was a really nice thought but...we always flirted. We were always flirting, but we weren't together.
"I...I don't know Susan..." I trailed off while looking up at Peter again who was spending some time with his Narnia horse.
"Too bad. Now go." I groaned and went to argue with Susan when I realised that there really was no arguing with Susan. Deciding to just go ahead and to it instead of arguing with her, I started walking away from the fence towards peter.
Once I was close enough, he stopped petting his Narnian horse and looked over at me. He gave me a bright smile before he turned back to his horse.
"I'll leave your Majesties alone." I smiled at his horse and waited until he had left before I faced Peter.
"Hi Lizzie." I smiled and opened my mouth to say something when I realised that I didn't really know what to say.
"Hi Peter. Um...Can you...I mean do you...What I'm trying to say is...well I'm not really sure what I'm trying to say but..." I stopped talking altogether when I saw Peter staring at me with an odd look on his face.
"Never mind." I went turn around and walk away from Peter, when he reached out and grabbed my wrist. I stopped in my tracks and turned around to face him. We stared at each other for a couple seconds before Peter took the couple steps towards me. He stood in front on her and me reached up and moved a stray piece of hair behind my ear.
I looked up at him, into his blue eyes and felt my pulse starting to race. We had been close but we hadn't been this close for a while.
"Ummm...maybe I should go or something..." I mumbled out but before I could finish my sentence, I found peter's lips covering mine. My eyes widened for a moment before I closed them. I leaned into him, and I wrapped my arms around his neck. I felt myself being pushed backwards until I hit the stables. The kiss only lasted for another moment before Peter pulled away and smiled down at me.
"You talk too much Lizzie." I blushed wildly and ran my fingers through my hair. I wasn't expecting that at all.
"Lizzie...can I court you?" I looked up at peter and my breathing stopped for a moment before I got a big grin on my face.
"Yes."

I stood on top of the How with the rest of the archers, Susan by my side, getting ready to fight. The Telmarines weren't true to their words and they didn't surrender. Peter had one, he had beaten them and they didn't surrender like they were supposed to.
Now we were going to fight, and we were going to put all our plans into action hoping, praying, that they would work. But we were outnumbered in this battle and I wasn't sure how easy it would be to win.
"Are you ready?" I looked over at Susan and nodded. I wasn't ready, I never would be. I would never be ready for fighting, but I couldn't stop it. I would die for the Narnians; I would die for the Pevensie's. They were all my very best friends.
