Susan sat on the floor shivering as Peter came towards her. He saw her sitting there her pale skin glowed slightly from the moonlight and he felt his stomach spin in empathy for her. She looked so small and vulnerable.
She stared at him as he walked towards her but she didn't say anything.
"Susan," he said softly, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…"
He trailed off because he didn't know what he was sorry for. He just was. He was sorry that he loved her like this. He walked to her and sat down next to her. She didn't look at him but she didn't move away.
"Su," he said again, "Please, just say something. Anything."
"What's there to say, you've said much more then I expected you to," she said not taking her eyes off the spot on the floor in front of her.
He turned his body around to face her and he sat on his knees. He took her shoulders and his hands felt wonderfully warm against her freezing skin. She looked up at him with an unreadable look on her face.
"I love you Susan," he said, "more then you think. More then you'll ever know."
He raised his hand and brushed her cheek lightly, making his sister shiver. She remained silent, leaving her brother in suspense of her answer. Or maybe she didn't want to talk, thought Peter.
Finally she said something, "Even if we did have feelings for each other, doesn't mean we could do anything about it."
Peter sat there, staring at her, "So you do have feelings for me."
A frustrated look crossed her pretty features and she stood up and began to pace back and forth in front of him.
"Peter you're not listening to what I'm saying. We can't have this. We can't commit incest. We just can't…"
Her voice trailed off, sounding strained.
"Su, nobody needs to know. It'll be a secret, only between me and you. Not even Ed or Lu will know."
But Susan just shook her head, sadly, "No Peter, we can't have any of it. It's forbidden, you know that, we both know that!"
Peter felt as though his world was crumbling apart. He was feeling more heartbroken then he had been back in England, where incest was against the law, well so he had heard. He had thought in Narnia maybe she might give in, but it seemed as though he was fighting a losing battle.
"Please, Su," he begged, "Please."
He walked to her and put both his hands on her arms, wanting her to see sense. But this wasn't sense and he knew it. She was right, what he wanted, what both of them wanted was wrong.
"No Peter," she said more firmly, "I will not give in."
She moved away from his touch and began to walk away. Peter watched her for a moment before rushing to her, grabbing both her shoulders, spun her around and crushed his lips to hers.
He felt her body tense and she went very stiff. Peter had his eyes closed but he suspected that Susan's were wide with surprise. Peter put everything he had into this kiss, knowing that it was his only chance. He buried his fingers into her raven hair and ran them through it.
God knows how long they stood there for but Peter continued to kiss her over and over and over again and still she did not pull away. Finally at long last he pulled his lips slowly from hers and looked at her.
She had relaxed a great deal and she opened her eyes and to his dismay they glared at him.
She turned away from him and whispered, "You did that on purpose, didn't you. I will not give in Peter. It doesn't matter if I have feelings for you, I can't mark you with incest. I can't do that to you."
And she began to walk away. But this time Peter didn't stop Susan. He stood there, watching her go, watching as she disappeared into the darkness, taking his soul with her.
And now it was his turn to sit in the cold darkness of the Narnian night and get lost in his thoughts with the feel of Susan's lips still upon his.
Fin.
Sorry I had to end it on a sad note but I thought it maybe good for this story. Sorry it was such a short chapter but please, please review!
