I got up the next morning having a full nights rest. I brushed my hair and actually left every bit of it down. Nobody has seen me with all of my beautifully straight hair. I look different with my hair down. I walked out of my tent and smelled the air. It smelled like rain. I went to the hill that Ed and Aslan were on yesterday. I climbed to the very top. There, I stood and watch the sun rise above the rain clouds that had just passed. I looked back at camp and noticed everyone was beginning to awaken. I looked upon the camp as the light breeze blew my hair across my face. I suddenly felt like someone was watching me. I knew that Susan and Lucy were not awake yet, so I looked at Peter and Ed's tent. I found Peter and Ed leaning against the outside of it, just watching me. I began to walk down the hill towards them.
"Hey guys . . . what's going on?" I asked.
"Nothing really . . . "Edmund said.
"Just waiting for the girls to wake up." He nodded toward Susan and Lucy's tent.
"So . . . how did you sleep, Ed?" I asked.
"Very well . . . I feel better."
"How did you sleep?" Peter asked me.
"Oh . . . alright I guess."
"What a beautiful morning!" I heard Lucy say.
"Well . . . I suppose they're awake." Peter said.
We came around the front of the tent and saw Susan and Lucy stretching.
"Oh! Good morning!" Susan said smiling at us all.
"You know . . . . I'm kind of hungry." Edmund suddenly said.
A few Fauns came up to us. One set down a red and orange blanket. Two more set up a round table and the last three put the food on it.
"Thank you." I said along with everyone else, even Ed said thanks.
"He's changed a lot." I thought.
We all sat around the table, except Peter, who filled his plate and leaned against the rocks a few feet away. I put a few pieces of toast on my plate but that was it. I suppose the White Witch had starved Ed because he began to devour his toast. I felt bad for Peter being by himself so I got up and walked over there with him.
"Narnia's not going to run out of toast, Ed." Lucy said watching him eat. He grinned.
"I'm sure they'll pack enough for the journey back." Peter said.
"We're going home?" I asked.
He took a drink out of a silver cup.
"You are. I promised mum I'd keep you three safe. But that doesn't mean I can't stay behind and help. And with Rachel now basically being a part of this family since we met . . . . I guess you'll have to go home too."
"We can't just go home!" I declared.
"Yeah, they need us. All five of us." Lucy said looking at Peter.
"Lucy, it's too dangerous. You and Rachel almost drowned, Rachel was attacked and injured, and Edmund was almost killed . . . . !" Peter exclaimed.
" . . .Which is why we have to stay. I've seen what the White Witch can do . . . and I've helped her do it. And we can't let these people suffer for it." Edmund said quietly.
I put my plate down on the table and went towards my tent.
"I suppose that's it then." Susan said.
"Where are you going?" Peter asked.
"Going to get some practice." I said smiling.
Susan quickly got up and ran into her tent. I walked over to min and grabbed my sword. Ed and Peter smiled at each other. They ran into their tent to get their swords.
