I slashed down an Ogre and surveyed the battlefield. I didn't get a good enough view when a Minotaur charged at me. I bit my lip and thrust my sword hard. I nicked their shoulder blade and we started to duel. As I blocked an easy swing, the Minotaur said, "Give up, girl. Our forces will crush you."

Anger rushed through me like adrenaline. Our weapons clashed this time with more force. I swung Fortis viciously, forcing the Minotaur to be driven back. I sliced the Minotaur's ribs, drawing a long, red line. The Minotaur fell to the ground.

"Don't underestimate us. We are stronger and greater than you give us credit for." I snarled, nudging Aspera to keep moving. I spotted Peter and shared a look. I pointed to a Wolf behind him about to strike. Peter jerked around and slashed the Wolf.

I hacked and slashed at a Giant, pleased when he came tumbling down. I watched Jadis trudge forward in her chariot, soldiers still behind her. I cut down a Black Dwarf and continued making my way through the sea of commotion.

I turned to the archers and watched a female Centaur fire a flaming arrow. This was part of the plan. It sailed through the sky, transforming into a phoenix. I felt a pang as I watched it catch fire, reminding me greatly of Fawkes and Dumbledore.

The flaming phoenix touched the ground, drawing a four foot high line of fire across the entire field. I smiled, seeing it stop them from crossing. Suddenly, the fire was burnt out and Jadis continued, her wand in hand.

I heard Peter somewhere near me bellow, "Fall back! Draw them to the rocks!" Aspera jerked around and cantered in the other direction. I occasionally slashed, but my main focus was getting to the rocks. I saw Peter ahead.

His unicorn's coat was so bright, your eyes were naturally drawn to it. I watched in horror as a spear sailed through the air and impaled the unicorn. Both Peter and the unicorn hit the ground. Peter's helmet fell off and was lying on the ground.

He got up and started to fight on foot. I looked at the unicorn's limp body, silver blood trickling onto the yellow-green grass. I shook my head, horrified by the actions. At least they'll live a cursed, horrible life for slaying such a pure, innocent creature.

I pulled my foot out of its stirrup and kicked a Hag in the chest hard, sending it flailing backwards. I cantered off to a spot near Peter. As I blocked a swing, I called to Peter, "Are you alright?" He stuck his sword into a Black Dwarf's gut and pulled it out, killing him instantly.

"Just peachy!" He called back, turning to a Minotaur. I couldn't help but laugh, losing focus for a spilt second. The Ogre I was battling slashed my eyebrow...for some weird reason. I winced as blood dripped onto my eye. I wiped it with my left hand and swung Fortis with a lot of strength.

There was so much force that I fell off Aspera. I watched as my steed bolted. Great, now I had to fight on foot too. I stood up quickly and swung Fortis again.

The Ogre was sent backwards. I slashed one last time and turned my head in Peter's direction. I looked over his shoulder and saw Oreius and a Rhino charging. Peter saw too and at the same time we screamed, "Stop!"

I watched as the Rhino took the lead, bulldozing Jadis's soldiers, until he was killed by an Ogre. Oreius leaped over him and continued fighting. Otmin started to battle him, slashing and hacking. Otmin held onto Oreius's flank, allowing our Centaur friend to stab him.

Oreius left the Minotaur General lying on the grass, dead. He charged Jadis and dodged the Polar Bears. They dueled for not even a minute until she stabbed him with her wand, turning him to stone. Her venomous green eyes spotted Peter, who was busy battling two Black Dwarves and a Werewolf.

Do it for Dumbledore. Do it for Aslan. Do it for Oreius. Do it for the Pevensies. For Peter. I jumped in between them and created an illusion force field around us. It would look like we were swordfighting while we were actually doing something entirely different. Switching Fortis to my left hand, I drew out my wand. "How about we duel properly?" She saw my wand and was shocked for a heartbeat, before sending a spell at me.

I blocked it and sent a full-body lock her direction, followed by several other jinxes. She blocked most of them with ease. "What is this around us?" She asked, using her sword this time. I used the 360 swing and blocked it with ease.

"A force field. I have more power along with access to spells. You'd be afraid." I told her with gritted teeth. "I've seen things worse than your most horrible nightmares." She hissed, sending a shot of ice my way.

I destroyed it with a lick of fire. "You don't know me or what kind of hell I've been through." I shot a powerful Expelliarmus, sending Jadis flying. She shot a dark curse at me, luckily I blocked it with Fortis's blade.

I put my wand back in its slit and popped the force field with my finger, something only the creator, me, can do. I swung my sword at her, clashing with hers. She put her wand away too and drew out two swords.

Our blades clashed with an immense amount of force. I used the ground as a trampoline and kicked her square in the chest. Her sword whacked my armor-covered foot, preventing Jadis from snapping it. I fell to the ground as she pulled my feet out from under me.

She used those seconds to her advantage. She flung my sword away and towered over me. Jadis was about to plunge her sword through my heart when a very familiar blade intercepted. I looked up in awe to see Peter giving her the deadliest of looks and said in a scarily low voice, "Get away from her."

I slid out the way as their duel began. I reached out for Fortis and sliced a Black Dwarf about to kill me. I watched with my peripheral vision Peter and Jadis's battle as I attacked some of the Witch's forces. I jerked my head in horror as Jadis kicked Peter's feet out from under him too.

She kicked aside his shield and stabbed his am with one sword. He yelled in pain, struggling against the sword. She pulled out her wand and was about to turn him to stab him, when Edmund jumped out of nowhere and broke half of the wand. She wheeled around and disarmed Edmund and stabbed him in the stomach, sending him down.

I ran forward and stood in front of Peter's struggling form. I raised Fortis to duel Jadis once more, when a loud and familiar roar came from the tops of the rocks. We all turned to see Aslan Himself along with Susan, Lucy, who I presumed was Mr. Tumnus, and some soldiers.

"Impossible." The Witch whispered. She turned back to me and started to clash swords. She cut my face, in a long swipe starting from my temple to my cheek. I thrust my sword with all my strength, only having it be thrown to my side.

I heard panting and watched as Aslan soared over me and tackling Jadis. I grabbed my sword and saw Peter stand by my side. We watched as Aslan...killed her? Whatever He did, she was gone. He stood in front of us and said, "This is finished."

We nodded and heard voices screaming our names. We turned around to see Susan and Lucy running towards us. We hugged and smiled a bit. A worried expression overcame Susan. "Where's Edmund?" Peter and I share a look before leading the other two to where he should be.

Jadis's main Dwarf held an axe and was about to finish off Edmund. Susan drew her bow and nocked an arrow, hitting the Dwarf in the chest and killing him instantly. "Edmund!" she called.

Edmund was laying on the ground, coughing and gasping for air. Lucy immediately pulled out her cordial and placed a drop on Edmund's lips. All of us were close to tears. He licked his lips and stopped moving for a few minutes that felt like eternity. I watched the Pevensies all on the ground, holding my breath.

As Ed sat up, Peter looked like he was going to cry. "When are you ever going to do are you're told?" I chuckled quietly and watched them group hug. Aslan walked up to me and watched them too, but not before unthawing a stone solider. I hugged Him, enjoying the sound of the Great Lion chuckling.

Lucy got up and came over to me and Aslan. "Open up!" She told me. I beamed at her and bent down, doing what I was told. She put a drop in my mouth, instantly healing my cuts, bruises, and dried blood covering me. I thanked her and walked over to Peter and Ed.

I crouched down in a squat. "You saved my life. Thank you." I told Peter. He smiled at me, touching my shoulder lightly. "You saved me first. You put yourself in between the Witch and me. I was just returning the favor."

I gave him a look. "Peter, she was about to kill me. You could've handled yourself." He shook his head. "But I didn't when it was my turn to battle her. Ed here had to come and save me." The two brothers beamed at each other.

I stood up and ran a hand through my tangled hair. Peter stood up too and smiled at me. "Where's Aspera? I was hoping to get a ride from you." I chuckled and looked around, spotting my steed near Aslan. I patted my Horse, accepting his apologizes.

When I had mounted, I scooted forward and motioned for Peter to climb on. He mounted Aspera and snaked his arm around my waist tightly. It was lucky he couldn't see my red face or else I would've died of embarrassment. It felt nice for him to be so close, although my lungs and chest felt like they were tightening from the contact.

I clicked my tongue and got Aspera into a lovely canter. Peter and I moved in sync with Aspera's stride. I saw Susan and Lucy getting a ride on Aslan, the lucky ducks, while Ed was getting a ride from Oreius. Peter and I raced across the field, listening to the chattering of Aspera.

Aspera slowed down to a slow walk as we entered the forest. The cool wind brushed my cheeks, adding to the shivers that Peter's warm breath was sending down my spine. There was now silence throughout the three of us.

I felt Peter tug at my hair, pushing it behind my ear. It startled me, but I didn't make any motion to stop him. I closed my eyes, hoping Aspera would play autopilot. It felt so good, but doubt filled me. It probably was a friendly gesture. Luckily, we arrived at the camp just in time for me to hop down abruptly. Peter jumped down too and watched me as I led Aspera to the stables.

I shivered as I left the stable, the memory of Peter's soft caress and warm breath replaying in my mind over and over.
