The Lion The Wizard and The Wardrobe
Chapter 12
Lucy knew she was walking somewhere but didn't care.
She felt no emotion, no feelings what so ever.
The only thing that she could think of was that Will was dead.
It had had such an impact on her that she ceased to care about anything anymore.
Nothing mattered.
She had always told herself that she didn't care for Will as more than a friend.
He was just another friend from Narnia, but when out that Will was dead, she had realized how much Will meant to her.
She thought of her brothers and sister but the thought of Will's death had thrown the thoughts of her siblings out of her mind.
If Black had killed Will it was a possibility that Peter and Edmund were dead as well.
Lucy had simply lost the will to believe that any of the people she loved were still alive, and therefore lost the will to care about what happened to her whether she was killed or not.
When Peter, Susan, Edmund, Will and most of the army arrived at the Battlefield they were shocked at the sight before them.
About twenty feet away stood Black with about 100 men and to their shock and dismay, Lucy.
Yes, there she was, the eagles had been right, Lucy looked awful.
Will gasped.
What had Black done to her?
She looked like a statue.
Her face was so blank; it held no emotion.
Will turned to the others.
"Have you ever seen her like this?" he asked.
"Once," said Susan, in a very quiet voice. "A few years ago our grandfather died of a heart attack. She and grandfather had been very close. Lucy had been so distraught that she couldn't handle it anymore and turned into what we're looking at now."
Edmund shook his head.
"I wonder what Black said to make her like this?"
But their thoughts were interrupted by-
"High King! I'd like to make a little bargain with you!"
Peter glared at Black.
Lucy was not some thing that you could bargain off.
But Black had the upper hand; any sudden action could harm Lucy.
"What kind of bargain Black?"
"A trade." Black replied, "Your sister for the Master Healer."
Will gasped.
Black knew.
But Peter did not; he looked quite confused.
"And who is this 'Master Healer'?"
Peter demanded.
Black's laughter echoed throughout the field.
Will stepped forward.
"Alright Black, here I am. Release the Queen Lucy."
Black smirked, Peter, Susan, and Edmund looked at Will with a look of complete shock.
"Will what are you talking about?" asked Susan.
But Will ignored them and glared at Black.
"Let her go Black!"
Will repeated.
Black's expression remained the same.
"When you come to me, then I will return her highness to the High King."
Will shook his head.
"No you release her first."
Will had a feeling that they were going to get nowhere, there was one thing Black and Will had in common, their stubbornness.
Then Will thought of an idea.
"Alright Black, how about we have a duel; A fight to the death; you and me. one on one. If I win, you let Lucy go and leave this country never to return."
Black was silent for a moment before responding.
"But what if I win?" he asked with a smirk.
Will took a deep breath.
"You get me and Lucy."
Black smiled.
"Alright, you've got yourself a deal. We will duel in one and a half hours."
After that Black departed with his soldiers, one of them took Lucy by the arm and followed.
After Black had left Will turned and began walking back to camp.
Peter, Susan and Edmund stared after him.
"Do you think he knows what he's doing?" asked Edmund.
Peter shook his head.
"I don't know Ed, but I have a feeling he does."
"Yes," said Susan. "so do I."
Once they had returned to camp, Peter and Edmund trained with Will and told him of different strategies to use, while battling Black, as Susan and Madison watch in interest.
Madison smiled as she watched her son prepared for the battle of his life, and for the girl he loved. She remembered when she had woken up and seen the connection that Will and Lucy had.
Madison sighed again, Will and Lucy's relationship reminded her of when she had first met Will's father, Colin.
Flash Back
Madison was exploring the forest behind her new home that her and her parents had just moved into, when a boy came running into the clearing and had nearly run Madison over.
The boy stopped and apologized so many times that Madison giggled.
"What is your name miss?" the boy asked, looking at her curiously with a smile, which later made her melt.
"Madison, what's yours?" she replied.
"My name is Colin, Miss Maddy!"
Colin bowed so low that he almost lost his balance.
Madison giggled.
"Are you new around here Miss Maddy? Because I'm sure I would have seen you before!"
Madison smiled at the nickname he had given her.
"My family just moved her yesterday."
Colin smiled.
"Well I hope-"
Some woman cut off Colin.
"Madison! Madison!"
Madison groaned.
Colin smiled, and looked at her with raised eyebrows.
Madison couldn't help but smile again, "My mother." She said simply.
Colin smiled, "May I come visit you Miss Maddy?"
Madison nodded and waved goodbye as turned and ran back in the direction of her house.
End of Flash Back
"MOM!"
Madison eyes snapped back into focus and saw everyone looking at her concerned.
Madison smiled at them.
"Oh, I'm sorry dears, I guess I dosed off."
Will looked at her knowingly.
"Dreaming about a certain someone, Miss Maddy?" Will said with a smile.
Madison smiled and nodded, "And that's mother to you!"
Will just laughed.
All too soon it was time to depart for the battlefield again.
