Oh Aslan part 2
Edmund woke up, his head resting on Korrina's bed, his hand lying over hers. He pulled himself up into a sitting position, causing her to shake in her sleep as the weight shifted. "How is she?" came Susan's concerned voice. It had been weeks since Korrina had gone into a coma. All the Pevensies and Henry took shifts for the nights in case she woke.
"Same," Edmund murmured. Susan just shuck her head and sat down beside her younger brother. Lord Henry had gone with a small party of Narnians to inform the King of what had happened. It was only a matter of time before the king came to see his youngest daughter.
"Anything?" the youngest Pevensie asked as she walked in wearing a riding dress. Upon seeing the grim faces she sat down in her seat. "That bastard better be caught," the young queen muttered as she looked at her best friend's face.
Susan didn't even bother scolding Lucy, for she agreed whole heartedly. "Did you finally get Peter to sleep?" Susan asked her sister. Peter had refused to go to sleep until Korrina woke, Susan had tried kindness to get him to go to sleep, Edmund had tried being mean and even physical force to get him to sleep, but nothing.
"Yes, I told him that if Korrina wakes up, he's going to collapse and then when he wakes up Korrina will yell at him," Lucy said as she watched her friend.
"Come Lu, Susan will watch Korrina. We must get breakfast," Edmund said putting out his hand for the Valiant queen to take. She hesitated looking down at Korrina but took it when Susan told her that Korrina would be alright.
Susan watched as her younger siblings walked out the door. She sighed as she looked back at Korrina's pale face. "Dear Korrina, who did this to you?"
Great Hall
Lucy picked at her food along with Edmund. 'Why can't Korrina just wake? It's killing Peter to see her hurt, in his castle especially.' Lucy thought to herself. She looked over to Edmund who seemed to be thinking the same thing. "I wish Father Christmas was here," Lucy said, she wasn't sure why either. Edmund dropped his fork as he looked up at her with a large smile.
"YOUR CORDIAL LUCY!" Edmund yelled jumping from his seat. Lucy's own fork clattered as it hit her plate. How could she have forgotten? With that both she and Edmund took off for the treasury.
Lucy pushed the lid open to her treasure box. She started to look for her cordial… but it wasn't there.
"I always get punished for my sins Lucy. Sometimes it can hurt you but we deserve the punishments we get."
'What?' Lucy thought to herself. 'Someone we trust must be beating her, someone who knows were the treasury is.' Lucy thought again. 'But who?'
"Korrina come now don't do that, you don't want to be punished for that sin… do you?"
"Lord Henry," Lucy whispered.
"What?" Edmund asked, coming over to her side.
"Edmund it was Lord Henry. He was always reminding Korrina that she would get punished for her sins. He beat her, and he stole my cordial so we couldn't heal her. AND he's going to marry her, which puts him in the right position to beat her right under our noses," Lucy said quickly as the puzzle pieces started to fall into place.
"Well, well, well, maybe you should be the queen of intelligence," came the cold voice of Lord Henry as he stepped out of the shadows. "Tsk, Tsk, you know, too much knowledge is a bad thing," he said, a smirk on his lips.
Edmund reached for his sword but stopped when Lord Henry said "I wouldn't do that if I were you Edmund, or little Lucy here will get an arrow in her pretty little neck, and you know that if the arrow doesn't kill her, the poison will." Lord Henry pointed his crossbow at Lucy. "Now, walk."
"Oh Aslan," Lucy whispered.
"Help us," Edmund finished.
Susan sat in her chair, sewing birthday dress for an Archland Lady's daughter, Gwen. "Oh I forgot my drawing in Korrina's room. Delilah, can you please watch Korrina? Get me immediately if she wakes up," Susan said as she put down her sewing.
"Of course ma'am," Delilah said as she sat down on the bench.
Susan smiled as she got up and walked toward Korrina's room. 'Who could have do this to her? It has to someone is the castle; no one else could get in. ARGH! We are the Kings and Queens, we led Narnia into a Golden Age, WE WERE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT HER!' Susan argued with herself as she arrived on the doors of Korrina's chambers. The gentle queen pushed open the door and walked over to the desk. She picked up the paper and started for the door when she saw that the attached door that led to Lord Henry's room was open a jar. Susan glided over to the door and slowly pushed it open. Her grey eyes swept across the room and landed on a blue rod lying on the floor.
"What's this?" the gentle queen asked picking up the blue rod.
Susan saw the dried blood on the top half. What in the world? She fingered the tip to find something carved in it. "L.H." she read as she looked at it. "Oh no," Susan whispered, dropping the picture and running back into the hospital wing, ignoreing the doctors and servents that call out her name. She had to get to Korrina. She slowly lifted the blue fabric that lay over Korrina's beaten back. Her eyes grew wide. "Oh Aslan."
What will happen to Edmund and Lucy? Will the character that dies be the one of the youngest king and Queen? Will Korrina ever wake up? Will she wake up to find that Narnia is no longer in her Golden Age?
