Disclaimer: i do not own Chronicles of Narnia, the good Suspian songs, or Skandar Keynes.
Chronicles of Narnia is owned by the late C.S. Lewis, who is the original author.
there are a variety of Suspian songs, but all by different people/bands; i recommend Break Even by The Script.
and finally, Skandar Amin Caspar Hourani Keynes. he is a human being, so no one owns him but himself. he has a family who loves him and cares for him. he has an older sister, Soumaya, who he loves. he has friends who like to taunt him, and he likes to taunt. he is currently going to Pembrooke College, Cambridge. he is getting his degree for Arabic and Middle Eastern History there. he is also a film critic for the review section on The Citizen, the City of London School newspaper. he has a mind, a conscience, a sense of humor, a living heart, feelings and a soul. as much as i love him, i cannot hold him. as much as i want to date him, i cannot. as much as i want to meet him, i could be possible. but forever in my heart, will he remain.
The day of the funeral came. A wake was already hosted, so this day was dreadful for everyone. Many people knew Melissa, and truly admired her. In her coffin, she was placed in regal garments, looking as peaceful as ever. They all stood in a courtyard, saying their final words before burying her beside her parents.
"Princess Melissa, daughter of King Mason and Queen Alysa. My sister, has made herself known to others by doing a simple thing that we will all face. But she did it for a cause, a cause that would eventually have taken all of us." Demetri said, as the crowd listened to him. People were crying, especially her family and friends. Sophia had known Melissa the fifteen years Melissa had lived in the castle. So, Sophia was very heartbroken. The Narnians were dreading, but mostly it was Peter who faced the worst. Susan and Lucy cried, but it was normal for them. "You may have heard that my parents abandoned her five years ago. But that is proven wrong. She was hidden, hidden from the world. They were afraid that people would find out what she truly was, not only a princess, but a gate. A gateway to another world." People within the crowd were crying; even Demetri's voice was cracking. "She died to protect us, from a gem called the imperial topaz. The imperial topaz seeks for dangerous things, and for a human being to be a gate is especially dangerous. And as a result, the orange gem was looking for her. But before it could reach her, she killed herself to protect us. All of us, even those that are in different worlds. If that gate had been open and the imperial topaz knew of it, it would create chaos in this world, and the next and so on. But she closed it. Melissa will be remembered by all, for her kindness, intelligence, bravery, and love." Demetri finally ended his speech. The crowd was crying and Demetri had tears streak his face. He walked to his wife and daughter and held them close. That was when Caspian went up to say his words.
"I-never really got to say thank you to her for saving my life. I had been poisoned you see, but she was able to cure me of it and save my life. But now that she's gone, I'll never get the chance to. And I regret it. She may not be with us personally, but she's with us in our hearts. But if she can hear me, I thank you Melissa, for everything. You will be remembered by us, forever and always." Caspian said. He went back to Susan and held her close as she cried into his chest. Peter went up, which was the hardest decision he ever made.
"When we found Melissa, we wanted her to save Caspian, as you had just heard. We did not mean anything for the gate, for we didn't even know about it until a few weeks ago. Weeks before her death, we all got to know her. And soon, she became a great friend of ours." Memories of her and him rushed into his mind, causing him to pause. His voice began to crack and tears slowly trailed down his cheeks. "We all suffered after her death. I-especially suffered the most. I, grew to love her, more than a friend. And to watch her die, was complete agony. My heart aches for her to come back, but I know she never will. Melissa was my first love, and always will be. I love her, even after death. But I promised her that I would move on, and that she will never be forgotten by anyone." Peter finally said, keeping strong. But as his voice cracked and tears shown, they crowd learned of his affection for her. They couldn't help but feel sadness for the young king, but they cried for both him and Melissa. Peter went back to his family, who embraced him as he cried. No one else went up, all except the current princess of Archenland.
They all looked up at her, surprise to see her talk about an aunt she had never truly met. "Even if I never truly knew Melissa, I wish I had. I never got to know my aunt. She was around the castle by the time I was born, but I don't remember the times I spent with her. She was never really part of my childhood, but I still love her dearly. After she had left, father kept in contact with her through letters. Father let me read some of them, and she said she dearly wished to me. I always grew excited at the thought, but I later knew that I'll never get the chance to. I knew that she was special in many ways, and that whatever she was, she was still my aunt. She could never come for the safety of our family and hers. Everything she had encountered was to keep everyone safe. Everyone is born for a reason. Her reason: to be the one to close the gate and save everyone even if they didn't know it. Melissa, was a very special person. She was able to take care of herself for five years, and didn't complain a single time. Melissa never cared for herself before others in need. No matter what, she is unique. She was and always will be. She is a person that no one will ever forget." Lacara was crying a bit, but stayed strong. The crowd clapped at her speech and she slightly smiled she went back to her mother and father. It became silent as they thought about Melissa.
Soon after, they began lowering Melissa's casket down. Everyone was silent, but people still cried. As they lowered the casket down, people dropped their flowers onto it. The casket had reached the bottom and everyone left. People had covered her grave with dirt and she was there to remain in peace. Melissa was reunited with her parents in Aslan's Country.
