Chapter 12: Cry for War
"You fool!" Jadis yelled to the dwarf. His patience did not seem to please the witch. "Why does he not believe my words?" She yelled out again.
The outrage of all this madness was the question of Jadis' plan. Back when Karen was "dead", her act of kindness did not approve the "queen". She was supposed to get close to the kingdom, but instead it drifted further. All what went right was her trick - of course she was the one to make poor Karen die, but she needed something she didn't have - her powers. She now has all her abilities. Karen though, did not.
Karen was now a normal teenage girl, falling in love with the King of Narnia. Jadis strived to kill him, but did not succeed. She cannot kill the king, she could not kill a teenager. A 17-year-old-boy who rules fairly, with his siblings, his fénçay and the high ruler of Narina, Aslan.
Jadis, of course, wanted to rule over, but must defeat Peter. She has failed many times, and she now is determined to kill him. "He needs to die! Kill him! We will have a battle, 2 days from now - are you recording this?" She asked the dwarf. He nodded, nervously. "Send it to them. This time, we will WIN!"
"Peter? Peter?" Karen walked everywhere, looking for the kind king. She went outside, still looking for him. She found him reading a book, and eating an apple. "Peter?" He jumped, and nearly choked on a piece of the fruit. "I'm sorry, but I was just wondering where you were."
Every time Karen thinks about Peter, she thinks about how he became king, and now she's acting all polite, and nervous. Thinking as if she's never met him, and finding a place where she was mostly loved.
Peter got up on his two feet, and walked towards her. She bit her lip but didn't know why she felt that way. She's known him for like forever, and now acts like she doesn't even know his name.
She looked into his beautiful blue eyes, forgetting that he was a king, and remembering he was her friend.
"What is it?" He asked. Karen snapped out of it. "Oh, err, we received a letter from the White Witch, that she declares war, 2 days from now."
Peter's eye's widened. "What?"
He ran inside, trying to fin Aslan. "Peter!" She called. She softly grabbed his arm, and turned him around. She found tears in his eyes, and his mouth frowning. "Are you okay?"
Peter nodded, without a sound. "No, you're not. I can see it in your eyes." Peter put his head down. "I knew it. She's done something to you. Now, she's probably more powerful, and will do anything to kill you."
Karen shook her head. "She's not going to kill me, she's trying to kill you."
Peter started shaking. He made a fist with his hand. "I'm going to kill her."
Karen lifted his head, staring into his blue eyes. They were filled with anger and concern. "This is what I love about you, Peter. You are always willing to sacrifice yourself to protect anyone from getting hurt."
Peter lifted one arm to her back, and then the other. Karen just leaned onto him, putting each hand on each shoulder. She slowly closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of his body. Peter leaned his head on her. He kissed her cheek. "Promise me, when I go to war, you'll stay inside the tower, and make sure you don't get hurt?"
Karen looked at him, then nodded. "But you'll have to promise me something." "What is it?"
"To remember me, always." Peter smiled, then leaned towards Karen for a kiss. He kissed her passionately, like as if it was the last. Karen put both arms behind Peter's neck, and a tear fell out of her eye. She never wanted him to go, not want him to go to war. Why was life so complicated?
Susan watched them, feeling unloved. But that didn't matter to her ; her brother was going to war. She might probably not see him ever again.
Karen departed the kiss. Peter looked into her hazel eyes, and said, "Kara, if I do die, remember I'll always be in your heart, looking after you." Her eyes got teary, but finally got the message ; she needed to be strong. He'd always lover her, no matter what.
