Chapter 6

(Fate)

The warriors rode through Narnia for a few hours before they got back

Cair Paravel. The sun was just rising and caressed the marble walls of Cair Paravel. The trees seemed to awaken as the birds who called the trees home, woke the forest up with their songs. A few of the fawns took care of the horses and out them back into the stables. Peter, Edmund, and Lily walked back into the castle.

Susan and Lucy were still awake sitting in the great hall, waiting to tell them about Aslan. Susan and Lucy were snacking on some pastries to keep them awake.

" Peter, you're back!" Lucy shouted as she ran up to her brother and hugged him tightly. It was always such a relief for Lucy and Susan when Peter came home.

" Lily, thank goodness they found you!" Susan breathed as she hugged Lily and then gave one to her brothers, "Peter, your leg!"

" I'm fine, just a small wound that should heal in a few weeks." Peter shrugged.

" Lily, would you mind taking Peter to his room and cleaning out the wound while I fetch one of the nurses?" Susan asked.

" Um... I suppose so." Lily said quietly, she didn't want to have anything to do with Peter at the moment.

" Thanks. Lucy, Edmund, time for bed." Susan said with her maternal side shining through.

" Fine." Edmund grumbled as he and Lucy headed up to their bed chambers.

Lily followed Peter up to his bed chamber. It was quite nice actually. The room was decorated in a maroon color, the wall paper and the bed covers. In the center of the room was an old oak canopy bed with all sorts of carvings in the posts. The thing that Lily noticed most was a crackling fire in the fire place. The fire place was made out of the richest red brick you'd ever seen.

Peter sat down on the bed and rolled up his pant leg slowly and removed some of his armor. Neither of them dared to look at each other or say anything. Lily sat beside him with some medicine and water Susan had given her to clean the wound. Lily soaked a cloth in the water and medicine that was in a wash bowl. She carefully rubbed in on the wound Peter had. He winced in pain and squeezed his eyes shut.

" Sorry, I-I-" Lily tried to say awkwardly. She just wanted to disappear and get out of this situation.

" Lily, you do not need to be sorry about–any of this," Peter said with certain sincereness in his voice. Lily just looked at Peter and realized how mature and grown up he looked at the moment and how childish she was for not listening to Peter back at Fiona's cave.

" I do need to be sorry. I should not have gotten involved in the battle and I should not have let Fiona get away!" Lily shook her head.

" It's not your fault," He said.

" Yes it is! I should have just gathered up the courage and the bravery and got rid of her! But, I just could not and that angers me so much–" Lily said as she got fired up. Lily's face got red, she was breathing faster, and her voice began to rise, and Peter found her completely adorable at the moment.

" Ouch, Lil!" Peter half moaned and half laughed. Lily did not realize that along with her anger also came applying to much pressure to Peter's wound.

" You haven't said that in a very long time." Lily said as a smile danced across her face, causing Peter's throat to tighten and his heart skip a beat.

" What?" Peter asked confused and partly because he was to overwhelmed by the beauty of her smile and to scared to say anything else.

" You have not called me Lil in quite a long while." She said happily.

" Oh." He said not even realizing he used her old nickname and slowly a thousand memories of growing up with Lily flooded his mind.

" You've changed a lot you know." She said so carefree as she shrugged her shoulders slightly.

" I have?" Peter said sitting back, "Enlighten me."

" Not in a bad way. You are just much more sophisticated, courageous, more grown up." She said thoughtfully, being very careful not to offend him.

" Well–" Peter began. He reached backwards and grabbed a pillow and hit Lily right in the face with it, "I'm really just a kid at heart!"

" Peter!" Lily laughed in shock. As Peter hit her again Lily got up and journeyed across the room trying to reach for a pillow. Peter kept hitting her on the sides and on her legs, wherever her hands weren't guarding.

" Peter!" Lily shrieked with laughter. She finally got a hold of a pillow and began fighting back. Lily had this laugh to her that sounded like a child's, it was between a high pitched laugh and a giggle and right now it filled up the room accompanied by Peter's whole- hearted immature laugh. But, about half way through the pillow fight they were laughing to the point where you know that you are laughing, but no sound is coming out of your mouth.

Peter and Lily finally had a truce and Lily collapsed flat on her back on the bed and soon Peter fell beside her. Lily could feel Peter's warm breath tingle down her shoulders and neck, which made her heart jump into her throat. The shy childish side came out in both of them as they stared at the ceiling because they were to nervous to look at each other. Lily realized that Peter was so close to her that his arm was now right up against her's. The feeling of his warm skin touching her own made her feel safe and protected.

Peter turned his head and looked at Lily. She realized he was now looking at her and she had to face those perfect blue eyes sometime and turned her head. They were so close together now, that their noses were almost touching and Lily could take in all of Peter's amazing features in so much better.

" Do you think that it is fate?" Peter asked in a hushed voice.

" What's fate?" Lily said so only he could hear. They were talking so quietly almost like they were telling secrets to each other about someone in the same room.

" That you came here? You ended up in the same place as me?" He asked. Lily's stomach exploded in butterflies and her heart just about leapt out of her chest.

" I-" Lily began to stutter finally realizing how much she really cared about Peter. He waited for an answer now questioning if he should have asked her such a bold question. But, Peter just looked into those big blue expressive eyes of hers and suddenly an answer didn't matter so much.

" King Peter, I came as soon as I heard," A lady fawn, Emma, said. She was the nurse at Cair Paravel and at the moment looked very angry, "I believe you should leave Lily. Come on, let's go!"

The nurse pushed Lily out of the room and Peter sat up on his bed. Peter was a bit annoyed that she had interrupted them and he kept his eyes on Lily as she was being shoved out the door.

" Hurry along now, girl! You should not have been here in the first place! Go! Go," Emma ordered. Just when Lily was about to leave she looked back and smiled at Peter and mouthed, 'I think she likes me.' Peter let out a laugh and smiled as Lily ran out the door.

" What on earth are you laughing about? There is no reason for laughter, you have a wound!" She said stressfully.

While Emma was dressing Peter's wounds Peter just smiled and thought about Lily. He should have been in some sort of pain, but he wasn't at the moment.

A/N: So, this chapter was a fluff, but I think every good romance story needs one, so here is mine. Please, please review because I'm having a feeling that people are losing intrest in the story:(
