Happy reading! :D

After a short rest Lucy and Susan had continued their search for the cordial. Their thoughts kept going back to the room where Edmund lay dying, and that was the only thing that kept them going. They had covered the ground about three times and they still had no luck. They were still not going to stop, and that also took their minds off of Edmund. (Well sort of. This was for Edmund anyway.)

Lucy was panting from the heat of the sun and from having to bend down the whole time. When you're bending down it's a little hard to breathe. "Susan, I can't do this. I want Edmund to live, but we can't find the cordial. Why can't Aslan help us? Doesn't he know that we need him, he's always helped us before," Lucy said.

"Lucy since when did you not trust Aslan? If you want we can ask him to help us," Susan said. Lucy nodded. They looked into the sky.

"Aslan, wherever you are, please help us. We need you. Edmund is dying and we don't know what to do. You wouldn't want him to die. He still has work here, I know it. If you hear me please help us." Lucy bowed her head. Suddenly they heard a voice in the air and they saw what looked like a great lion's reflection in the air.

"Lucy, Susan, I have heard your request. I can help you but only a little since I am not here," said the deep voice. "Look at my face. Follow my hand. Down to the sparkle on the land." And then the voice was gone. Lucy was still looking into the air slightly confused.

"What does that mean?" Susan asked a confused look on her face. Lucy was still looking at the sky. "Look at my face. Follow my hand. Down to the sparkle on the land." She looked into the sky again and suddenly it hit her. "The sun! Look at the sun!" They turned their faces toward the sun but didn't look directly at it.

"Well, now what?" Susan asked. Lucy thought about it.

"Look at my face. Follow my hand." Lucy thought about it for a minute. "The beam of sunlight! Follow the beam of sunlight to...the sparkle on the land! Susan it's the cordial!" Lucy exclaimed. She grabbed Susan's hand and ran to the spot where there was a 'sparkle' on the ground. There laying on the ground was Lucy's cordial. Lucy picked it was and looked at it closely to make sure she wasn't dreaming. She was so happy that her eyes filled with tears. she looked back up at the sky.

"Thank you Aslan. Thank you!" she said quietly. She held the cordial tightly in her hand. Susan looked down at her and saw the tears in her eyes.

"What's wrong Lucy?" Susan asked. Lucy shook her head.

"Nothing is wrong Susan. Everything is right! Well, almost everything. Come on let's get this back to Edmund!" Lucy said. At first she had been tired and wanted to give up, now she was running as fast as her legs could carry her.

The healer had come back and was cleaning Edmund's wound. Peter was standing aside. Their was no pain medicine, and he hated seeing his brother in pain. There were constant groans coming from Edmund and Peter winced at everyone of them. All he wanted right now was for Susan and Lucy to get back. It had been two hours since they had left and Edmund needed that cordial. They had to get back soon, Edmund was fading fast.

Peter sat down to calm himself. He started going through all the memories he had with Edmund. Even the bad ones seemed good now. He went through when they had be reunited with him in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, when they fought their first battle, and all the others that they had fought in. He thought up until he was thinking of what Edmund had said to him earlier. All of these made him sad. He was going to lose Edmund.

Suddenly he heard the sound of a door opening and then slamming. Then he heard the sound of two people running upstairs and then fast foot-steps. He stood up. Suddenly Susan and Lucy burst in the door.

"Peter we found it, we found it! We were searching for it for so long and then we asked Aslan for help, and he really did. He showed us where it was and now we're here and Edmund is saved!" Lucy said happily. Peter slowed her down.

"Wait slow down. What do you mean Aslan helped you?" he asked. Lucy started breathing more calmly and explained in a slow voice. "We were looking for it for so long, that I almost gave up. But then we asked for Aslan to help us and he did. His voice appeared and we could see a faint reflection of him in the air. He told us how to find the cordial, and we found it. Now we're here and we have the cordial."

"Where's the cordial?" Peter asked. Lucy put out her hand and showed it to Peter. Just then the healer came over. "I can't do anything for him King Peter. I'm sorry." Lucy and Susan looked scared.

"Are we too late?" Susan asked. Peter shook his head. "No, no you're not we can save him if we're quick enough." Lucy nodded. She took the top off of the bottle and walked over to Edmund. She was afraid that she might spill it because her hands were shaking so badly. She brought it close and put a drop in Edmund's mouth. At first they thought that it wouldn't work but then Edmund opened his eyes.

"Lucy, Susan, Peter?" he said. Lucy's face brightened and she smiled. She ran to Edmund and wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug.

"Careful Lucy! My wound isn't healed yet!" Edmund said. Lucy let him go. "Sorry. I'm just so glad that you're alright." Edmund smiled. "I'm glad to be alright. Thank you. If it wasn't for you and Susan, I wouldn't be here right now."

"Aslan helped us," Susan said smiling. Edmund looked at her strangely.

"Aslan? He was here?" Edmund asked.

"Not exactly. He wasn't here physically. I'm just glad you're okay," she said. The healer came over and checked Edmund's temperature. He smiled in relief. "The fever as gone down. His temperature should be back to normal in a few days." They all smiled and hugged each other. Lucy came over to Edmund. She hadn't seen his wound since yesterday. She gasped in the surprise as the wound was a lot better than it had been the day before.

"Does it still hurt Edmund?" Lucy asked. Edmund shook his head.

"Not as much as before. The pain is mostly gone. I just need to rest," Edmund answered. Lucy nodded.

During the next week Edmund had to stay in bed most of the time and rest. Lucy spent a lot of time with him, and they were able to become even closer than they were before. After a couple of weeks Edmund was ready to do the things he used to. They made a promise to each other that they would never separate again. They would be together forever.
