-1Chapter 8: War
Desperation spread to the army. Peter couldn't fight ; the thought of death was unforgivable. He would of done anything to keep her alive.
A few questions popped into his head. How did she die? Who killed her? Did she create suicide?
Aslan ran into the Palace and alarmed Peter ; The White Witch was coming!
"WHAT!" Peter ran outside. The army was getting ready - ready for the cold blooded.
Peter ran inside, getting his armor, sword and shield.
He called to the eldest daughter. "Susan! I need you to do a really big favour!" Her eyes were filled with tears. "Yes?" "I'm going to war, and I need you to look after Edmund and Lucy."
Susan felt like breaking down, into heavier tears. "Why does everything have to go wrong!"
Peter felt doing the same thing. He couldn't take it ; he was the worst king - ever. He failed Narnia ; they were going to war. He failed Aslan ; he expected him to be a great king, when he was not. But the one he failed the most, was Karen ; he had let her die.
5 days after, one of the centaurs spotted someone walking towards them, but it was one person, or thing.
Peter looked outside, over the heated rays of the sun. His eyes widened. "It's Jadis!" Aslan was surprised about the report. "Jadis? The White Witch?"
Peter nodded. "But why only her? Doesn't she have an army?"
Aslan narrowed his eyes. "They must be hiding."
Lucy ran up to Peter. "Peter! Peter! Susan needs you, quickly!"
He followed her, finding Susan looking everywhere in the room. "What's wrong?"
She still looked around. "Can't you hear it?" Peter looked at Karen, the pale, motionless girl.
"Hear what?" "The song." Peter listen more closely. "…because of you, I'll never stray to fall from the sidewalk. Because of you, I've learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt. Because of you, I try my hardest just to forget everything. Because of you, I don't know how to love any one else. Because of you, I'm ashamed of my love, because it up to you…"
Tears started to form in Peter's eyes. "She's watching over us."
Susan smiled, with watery eyes. "We have our own guardian angel."
Lucy formed her own tears. "We're lucky." Edmund arrived. "The White Witch, she's not here to fight, she's here to talk to you, Peter!"
Jadis walked into the room. "Where is she?"
Peter and the others moved, and Jadis gasped. "No!" She stumbled onto her, hugged and crying. "Why! Why did she have to die!"
Jadis sobbed, but they didn't get it. Why did she care?
Peter's thoughts escaped his mouth. "Why do you care?" Jadis wiped her tears. "Because, she was my little sister. Now, I must ask, why do YOU care?"
Peter started forming tears again, and said, "We cared, because we loved her. I loved her. Now she's gone. There's nothing we can do."
Jadis shook her head. "Actually, there is one more, but is nearly impossible for a girly merely at this age to take it."
Peter grabbed her arm. "What do we owe you to make her live again?"
