The Lion The Wizard and The Wardrobe
Chapter 9
Madison woke up when she felt something going through her hair, she also felt really sore and that it hurt to make any kind of movement.
Then she heard the last thing she'd expected to hear, someone was humming.
Her eyes snapped open.
The last thing she remembered was being beaten by Black and then being thrown out of the castle and chased by one of the wolves.
But as she looked around as best she could, she could see that she was in a room that was brightly lit with sunlight and the someone who was humming, she realized was brushing her hair.
Madison tried to sit up so she could see who it was but she gasped out as pain rippled all over her body.
She then heard the person behind her gasp and saw a young girl with golden hair come into her line of sight.
The young girl smiled and said excitedly, "Oh, so you're finally awake! How are you feeling? But oh, there's something I have to do first. Wait RIGHT there, don't move!"
"It's not like I can move." Madison muttered.
It sounded weird to hear your own voice for the first time in five years.
Madison shrugged and waited for the girl to return.
When Lucy saw that Will's mother was awake and seemed perfectly fine, besides being really sore all over, she walked as fast as she could downstairs (ignoring the prickle of pain in her back), strangely she had healed faster then anyone had expected.
Though she still got tired faster then others, but she could speed up for today; she would of course regret it later but Will NEEDED to know that his mother was up.
She soon reached the clearing where Peter and the rest of the army were practicing their fighting skills.
It had been three days since Will and Lucy had found his mother.
On the second day, Susan and Lucy had washed the woman's hair, which was quite a difficult task but they were able to clean all the blood and dirt out of her hair, returning it to it's silky state it had been in five years ago.
Lucy stumbled into the clearing and everyone stopped to look at her.
Peter, Susan, Edmund and Will rushed over.
"What's wrong Lu?" asked Edmund, with concern.
Will with a similar expression.
Lucy laughed, "Nothing is wrong! Will it's your mother, she's awake!"
Will expression was priceless.
His face lit up and he let out a whoop of joy as he ran towards the cottage.
Lucy laughed and followed him with a slight skip in her stride.
Edmund smiled, shook his head and went to go inspect the other and see how they were doing.
Madison was just about to dose when she saw the door burst open.
She saw-no it couldn't be.
The youth walked slowly up to her with watery eyes, and her small, delicate hands in his large rough ones.
"Mother." He whispered.
Madison smiled and as she chocked back a sob said, "Oh William Darling..."
As her now older son gave her a hug she finally believed there was still hope for Narnia.
Small tears fell from her eyes that seemed to never end.
After they had both calmed down they began talking about how Will had survived these last five years and talked of old times, from before they had been separated.
It was just before sunset when there was a knock on the door and Madison turned to see the golden haired girl, who had nursed her back to health according to her son, walk into the room with a tray which had their dinner on it.
Madison smiled as she saw her son jump up from the chair he had been sitting in and took the tray from the girl and place it on the bedside table, thanking her.
The girl smiled at Will and turned to leave when Will stopped her.
"Lucy! Wait I wanted to introduce you to my mother."
Madison smiled when she heard the girl mumble something about already meeting her and that she didn't want to interrupt anything.
But Will took her arm and lead her over to the bed, where Madison was sitting up against many pillows.
"Lucy I would like you to meet my mother Madison. And mother this is Queen Lucy, youngest of the four Kings and Queens of Narnia."
Lucy blushed a deep red and smiled at Madison.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Taylor, but please, call me Lucy."
Madison smiled, "Only if you call me Madison, dear."
Lucy and Madison smiled at each other and began to talk, and found out soon enough that they had a lot in common.
Will smiled at his mother and Lucy.
"I'll just leave you guys to talk."
Lucy and Madison turned to him and smiled.
"Are you sure you don't want to stay, dear?" His mother asked, her smile reaching from ear to ear, "Because I was just about to tell Lucy about the time..."
"Yep! Bye!" Will said dashing out of the room before Madison could continue.
Lucy and Madison laughed, and continued to talk.
Susan soon joined them and they talked well into the night, Madison telling them of her life before being taken away by Black; and Lucy and Susan told Madison of their adventures that they had had when coming to Narnia for the first time.
Susan and Lucy had just finished telling Madison of the Lone Islands when Madison suddenly turned a deathly pale.
"Madison what's wrong?" Susan asked.
Lucy nodded, "Yes, and you've suddenly turned very pale."
Madison frowned, "It's just I- I just remembered something that I had overheard..."
Lucy and Susan waited patiently for Madison to continue.
"He's planning to attack, he has already gathered an army, and are going to attack on the new moon."
Lucy and Susan gasped.
"But that five days from now!" Susan said fearfully.
Lucy stood up and quickly went and informed the others.
For the next two days they packed and readied for battle, which would be taking place in a clearing about half a days walk from the cottage.
It was well after midnight at the end of the second day when everyone had finished packing and went to bed, ready to leave bright and early the next morning.
Lucy, who had been sleeping on the couch, couldn't seem to fall asleep.
There was too much on her mind.
Lucy sighed and decided to read one of the books that Will had.
She had just picked a book when she heard some one come downstairs.
She turned and smiled.
"Hey Will."
Will smiled.
"Hey, what are you reading?"
Lucy laughed and showed him the cover of the book.
He grinned, "History of Narnia, interesting choice."
Lucy nodded, "I wanted to see what they wrote about our adventures."
They both laughed and went to sit down on the couch.
Throughout the week Will and Lucy had become good friends and grew closer and closer as time went by; and though neither of them would admit it, the others had noticed that they had developed feelings for each other.
As they began talking about random things Lucy couldn't keep the upcoming battle out of her mind.
Though Lucy kept the thoughts to herself, Will saw the sadness and fear in her eyes.
"You're thinking about the Battle aren't you." He said, looking into her eyes. It was more of a statement then a question.
Lucy sighed and nodded.
"It's just that it's been so long since we've had a big threat like this. The last time a battle even came close to this was when we help King Lune defend Archenland from the Calormens, and even that was years ago. I also was able to help in that battle, I'm nothing without my cordial!"
As Lucy told Will this, memories flashed in her mind: Edmund nearly dead after the battle of the White Witch, Peter coming back injured from a battle with the Giants and even little Reepicheep badly injured after they battle of Baruna and more and more memories after that.
After each battle she was able to heal everyone.
But what about this battle now that she didn't have her cordial.
What would happen when people came badly injured after the battle and she could do nothing?
What if someone died?
What if Pete or Edmund were killed and she could do nothing to save them?
What if Will was killed?
What if?
What if?
What if?
Lucy stopped in mid-thought.
Something wet was on her cheek.
Lucy's eyes went wide when she realized that they were tears, her tears.
Will lifted Lucy face with his hand so she was looking up at him.
He smiled and whipped away her tears with his thumb.
"Don't worry. Everything will turn out right."
Lucy wasn't convinced. "But"
But stopped as Will kissed her forehead.
"Get some sleep Lucy, I'll see you in the morning."
He stood up and with a smile, left the room.
As she heard Will go upstairs, she blushed a deep crimson.
'He just kissed me'
Even though it was only a peck on her forehead she felt her stomach fill with butterflies.
She smiled, "Oh dear," she said quietly, "I'm smitten."
Lucy giggled; she almost liked the sound of her saying that.
Lucy shook her head and settled in under the blankets, falling asleep almost right away.
