Chapter 3: The Lion's Mistake
It only took Peter a few minutes to dress and be down in the main hall with Edmund. They walked in and found Lucy sitting at her throne with Aslan at her side taking to her.
The great Lion turned his head and fixed the boys with a sad stare. They hurried to him.
"Aslan," said Edmund, Peter noticed his voice was shaky, "Have they found Susan yet?"
"No, child," said Aslan
Despite his reply, his deep voice seemed to calm the youngest children. However Peter still felt sick at the thought of the Witch's army having his sister.
Oh God, he thought I don't want to think about what there doing to her.
"Come," said Aslan, "Sit Sons of Adam. I must talk to all of you."
Peter and Edmund sat down on there thrones. The young Kings and Queen watched the lion pacing up and down in front of them.
Finally he turned to them, "I have no better way of telling you this, so I must tell you straight out. As you all remember I killed Jadis the White Witch months ago. At least I thought I did. But you see I was distracted by wanting the four of you safe, so I left the Witch's body where it was. When I can back to it I found it gone. I was suspicious for a while, but I thought nothing of it. Until now…"
"It seems I did not kill the Witch after all, for she kept a secret none of us knew. Not even her closest allies. For the Witch has a son. I fear he may be the one who was to bring Narnia to its downfall. Not his mother. I must admit, it was a rather clever plan. The Witch had organised it from the very beginning. She had not planned to rule Narnia, but her son to rule instead."
"But," said Lucy, "You said you thought you killed her. What does that mean?"
"It means, young one," said Aslan, "I mis-judged the Witch's knowledge and power. For the blood of her son was able to revive her from the dead and the blood of the enemy would make her immotile."
"But wouldn't she have to sacrifice her son?" asked Peter
"No," said Aslan sadly, "Only one drop would have cured her. She will kill your sister eventually, but not without playing with your minds first. She only needs a drop of Susan's blood, but I am sure she will not let her live."
"Oh this is horrible," said Lucy, "How could anyone be so horrible?"
"Daughter of Eve, the White Witch wants revenge. Especially on you Peter," said Aslan, turning his great eyes on eldest Pevensie.
Edmund and Lucy turned to look at him, while Aslan said, "Peter not all nightmares are dreams. Sometimes dreams turn out to be reality and you can no longer pretend what you have seen doesn't haunt you."
Peter's blue eyes widened in surprise, while Aslan gave him a knowing look.
He knows Peter's heart was pounding in his ears, but how? How does he know?
Because he's Aslan, you idiot he said to himself, of course Aslan would know
"Come Peter," said Aslan, "I must talk to you alone."
He began to walk away. Peter looked at Edmund and Lucy. Lucy nodded and Edmund's eyes urged him to go.
Peter got up and followed Aslan back down the main hall.
So sorry it was a short chapter, but I need time to think of what's coming nxt. Please, please review!
