Chapter Six
Saying Goodbye
The fight between Peter and Miraz went and my nerves were shot. Hoping Lucy got through to Aslan safely. Not to mention that Miraz fights dirty. Every move Peter made he blocked but Peter blocked every move Miraz made. He even managed to slice at his back causing the old man to shout. But then Miraz using his shield knocked Peter's helmet off. I felt my heart drop to my stomach. Then Miraz took a swing at his throat but missing it but not by much.
Peter knelt down and sliced at his leg wounding him. I felt a small burst of energy in me until Miraz tripped him and stomped on his shield. A sickening crunching and popping sound could be heard. "NO!" I yelled running up to Edmund and Liam. Peter shouted as it happened made my skin crawl as I watched the one I would give up my life for in pain. Miraz tried to end it but Peter just rolled out of the way and eventually tripping the enemy and standing up.
Hearing a horse made us look to see Caspian and Susan coming back without Lucy. They said something and nodded as they left the battlefield. Peter made his way back to us pain written on his face. Edmund and Liam went up to him to help him to a chair. I ran up to him as he looked at his sister. "Lucy?" he asked.
"She got through with a little help," she said.
"Thanks," Peter said to Caspian.
"Well you were busy," Caspian said looking back at his uncle.
"Better get up there just in case. I don't expect the Telmarines to keep their word," he said making us all nod. Susan went to hug her brother only for him to hiss in pain. Then she went off to be with the other archers.
"Keep smiling," Edmund said looking back at the Narnians. Peter turned around and held up his sword as the Narnians let out a roar.
Caspian, Edmund and I looked at his shoulder. It didn't look very good. "I think it's dislocated." Edmund went to his left side and I looked at him and putting my hand on his face. Because I knew Edmund had to pop it back into place. "What do you think happens back home if you die here?" He looked at me then at Edmund. "You know you have always been there..." Popping his shoulder back into place before he could finish the sentence. He let out a pained shout as it happened.
Caspian and I helped him stand and I looked at him. "Don't die Peter Pevensie or I will never forgive you," I warned him kissing him before he turned to fight again.
As the match continued they were more aggressive hitting with their shields and swords. He hit Peter in the face with his shield and he always goes for his wounded arm. Bastard I thought as Miraz had Peter falling to the ground. I felt Edmund take my hand to keep me calm as best he could. Then Liam took my other.
Peter managed to knock Miraz down as they both got up, Peter managed to get his sword away from him. So now all Miraz had was a shield to protect himself as Peter let out a furry of swings with his sword. But it quickly turned bad when he disarmed Peter and started hitting him with his fist. Over and over again I felt tears run down my face.
Peter finally got that damn shield away from him and started to fight without shields and weapons but Miraz picked up a sword and started to hit him with it. Peter blocked it and managed to hit him where it counts. On his wounded leg Miraz fell to the ground.
"RESPITE! Respite!" Miraz shouted as he backed away.
"Now's not the time for chivalry Peter!" Edmund yelled. Peter hesitated looking at the poor excuse of a king begging for a break. Then Peter turned to walk away from the man on the ground. "LOOK OUT!"
"PETER!" I yelled as Miraz went to attack him while his back was turned.
Peter blocked, grabbed the sword and sent it into the man's side. Peter pulled it out and hesitated and looked at him with the sword ready for the finishing blow. They spoke a few words until Peter held out the sword to Caspian. Caspian took the sword and Peter picked his up and came back and put his arms around me kissing my head.
We watched as Caspian took the blade poising it for the finishing blow against his murdering uncle. But something was off about this I noticed that he was hesitant and then as he let out a blood curdling scream sent the sword into the ground in front of him. Caspian turned walking back to us leaving his uncle alive. He will make a great king when we have to leave again. We went to head back when a death gag came from behind us. Turning around seeing Miraz with an arrow in his side, an arrow that was Susan's. Peter took my hand and we looked back at Susan.
"TRETURY! THEY SHOT HIM! THEY MURDERED OUR KING!"
"BE READY!" Peter yelled and looked at me.
"PETER!" Caspian yelled pointing behind us. Peter pushed me behind him as he went after that soldier that was coming our way. Standing with Peter, Liam, and Edmund as Caspian got on a horse as he went to commence our plan. I looked back at Susan and Audi as they took to the ready. Boulders came crashing around us as the machines started firing.
We watched as their Calvary came galloping towards us. "I hope this works," I said under my breath.
"It will trust me," Peter said then turning around sending Glenstorm and Caspian off. "One...Two...Three..." Peter counted and I started counting with him taking his hand for a few moments. "Eight...Nine...GET READY!" he yelled letting go of my hand. We watched as the ground started to fall beneath the horses and soldiers. Arrows flew and pierced all the Telmarines that were in the pit that had been created. "CHARGE!" He yelled and all of us started running as Edmund got on a horse and started forward.
Clashing with the enemy fighting with everything we had. Swinging my sword killing men as they fought us. Slashing and blocking as we fought for our freedom against these monsters that call themselves men.
"BACK TO THE HOW!" Peter yelled as we started running but was grabbed by a Telmarine twirling into him taking off his head. Reaching Peter and the others just as the entrance to the How was destroyed. Looking at Peter, Liam and then at Caspian as they watched Susan and Audrey fall to the next level. Both were alright coming to join us.
Running back into the heat of battle slicing, kicking and punching as best we could to survive. Not only were we fighting for our freedom but also for Aslan. I wasn't about to die and leave my family like this. No not as long as I breathe and can fight.
~*Audi's pov*~
Watching as mum, dad, Caspian, Liam and everyone fighting so hard but it wasn't even making dent in these soldier lines. Then I saw Caspian fall into the pit. Running over to the ledge jumping down slicing anyone that came at me. Landing next to him as the man I remembered from the day of the challenge, the one that was standing behind us. He grabbed a weapon and started for us, Caspian held out his arm to protect me. He hesitated for a moment looking at Caspian then at me. Then something grabbed him and pulled him back. I looked carefully where those roots? Looking at Caspian as he looked at me. Helping him stand as dad came over and helped us out of the pit.
There standing before us were trees fighting the soldiers. They were on our side. Dad turned to the others and said, "Lucy." Dad took up his sword. "FOR ASLAN!" And we all went to fight once more. The soldiers where retreating and headed for the river. Going to follow but something was wrong. Looking at everyone who passed me but my brother wasn't one. Looking around I felt a sudden panic run through me.
"LIAM!" Yelling running back to the How. He wasn't there. Running to the pit still wasn't there. "LIAM!"
"Audi..." I heard someone calling me. Racing to the forest seeing that Liam was under a dead soldier. Pulling him off of my brother only to find him with a very serious belly wound.
"Stay right here. I am going to get mum and dad," I said going off to the river. Running to the river seeing the other's across the river with Aslan. "MUM! DAD! IT'S LIAM!" I shouted. In no time at all they came racing back across to me.
"Where is he?" dad asked. I raced back to where Liam laid. Dad and mum went up to him.
"Oh Liam," I heard mum shriek as she placed her hand to his now ashen face. "Lucy the cordial." She cried. Lucy nodded and bent down to give him a drop but he stopped her.
"No Aunt Lucy. I don't want it," he refused. I started crying and knelt beside him.
"Why?" I croaked seeing my big brother dying right before my eyes.
"I have lived a long enough life. I am honored to die for our freedom. I am also glad to see you grow into a fine young woman who doesn't need me any more Audi. I am proud to be your son dad, mum." His breathing started getting more and more labored.
"Dear one is there a wish that I could grant you as a reward for a hero and a prince of Narnia?" Aslan asked. I heard him laugh and we looked at him.
"I would like to be reborn in the world of my parents," he said looking at mum and dad.
"As you wish," Aslan let out a deafening roar making Liam smile.
"Thank you Aslan. I love you all..." and with that he was gone. Mum's sobbing got louder and louder as dad pulled her into his arms. I let out my own choking sobs getting up to run but was taken in Caspian's arms. Everyone had tears in their eyes as I felt my legs go out underneath me. Caspian caught me and picked me up bridal style. I really don't remember what happened after that.
~*Bridget's pov-A few weeks later*~
It was Caspian's coronation as we rode through the Telmarine streets as the celebration was going on. Still upset over Liam's passing, but it was his wish to go and I was so proud of him. Looking over at Peter as he smiled at me also still feeling the pain of his son's death. He took my hand as we rode side by side on our horses. The celebration was amazing wonderful food, much wine, and dancing.
After a lot of everything I was ready to retire to my room. Back in the room Peter was standing at the window staring out at the fireworks that was going off. He heard me coming in and gave me a sad smile. Feeling tears sting my eyes going over to him as he held me. "Why did he have to die?" I sobbed into his chest. Feeling him stroke my hair as he was trying to soothe me. We heard a knock on the door.
"Come in," Peter said. It was Audi, Reepicheep, Trufflehunter and Trumpkin who were standing at the door. I noticed that Audi's eyes were red and puffy as much as my own. Opening my arms to her as she came running to me. She started crying as Peter and I embraced her.
"We are sorry for your loss your majesties. Prince Liam was a good man, a brave soldier and the best prince we have ever known," Reepicheep bowed as he said that. Then Trumpkin and Trufflehunter brought us his sword.
"Thank you all," Peter said a bit chocked up. After that they left as Audi, Peter and I stayed together in our room for the remainder of the night. We must have fallen asleep when I woke up Audi wasn't there anymore and neither was Peter. Getting up going to the closet and picked out a lovely gown of dark blues and silver. Walking out of the hall and saw Caspian speaking to Audi as she was wearing a purple dress with gold threading. Heading up to them and smiled.
"Have you seen your father?" I asked her. She nodded and pointed to the courtyard. Nodding my thanks heading out to see him and Susan speaking with Aslan.
"Bridget so nice of you to join us. I am in need to tell you things about your adventures here in Narnia. This will be your last time here dear one," he said making me nod as I already have known for a long while after meeting Caspian. "But there is a matter of your son's wish. Peter, Bridget I have the great honor of telling you that Liam will be reborn as your true son by blood in your world." The three of us looked at each other then back at the great Lion.
"What does that mean exactly?" Susan asked. Aslan chuckled making us more confused. Peter took my hand in his as he pulled me closer to him.
"Dear ones your time here in Narnia a miracle has been bestowed up the two of you. A child you carry Bridget." I stopped walking and looked at him as I placed a hand on my stomach. Peter stopped as well and I felt him take my other hand.
"B...but won't I lose it once we go back home?" I asked scared now to leave. Aslan chuckled looked at us and he came back up and breathed on us.
"It is your son's wish to be born in your world dear ones. I am happy to say that his wish will come true. Congratulations." Aslan said making Susan crash into us as Peter hugged me and I felt tears stream down my face.
I am not exactly sure how long we have spoken for until Caspian came into our view and we looked at him. "Your majesty?" Aslan asked as Caspian turned around to leave. I noticed that he looked at Susan and again felt my heart ache for my daughter.
"We are ready," he said. "Everyone has assembled." This was it we are going home. I will never see this beautiful land again. But I do believe it is in good hands with Caspian as king. We headed up to the gathering and looked out at everyone. Peter, Susan, Lucy, Edmund and I stood apart from everyone else as Caspian started his speech. Audi stood with Trumpkin, Reepicheep, Trufflehunter and Bugly the bear.
"Narnia belongs to the Narnians just as it does to man. Any Telmarines who want to stay and live in peace are welcomed to. But for any of you who wish Aslan will return you to the land of our four-fathers." Whisperings and questions spread among the people.
"It's been generations since we left Telmar," one said in the crowd.
"We are not referring to Telmar. Your ancestors were sea faring brigands. Pirates run aground on an island. There they found a cave a rare chasm that brought them here from their world. The same world as our kings and queens." We looked at one another as Aslan continued. "It is to that island that I can return you. It is a good place for a new beginning."
"I will go," a man said in the back. "I will accept the offer." Peter took my hand and looked at me giving me a small smile.
"So will we," this time it was Miraz's widow, son and her father who took up the offer. They stepped up to Aslan as he continued.
"Because you have spoken first, your future in that world shall be good." He breathed on them just as he did to Peter and I. Then the tree that we were standing next to started to part into a doorway. The group walked to it then disappeared.
"How do we not know that they are sending us off to our death?" another man shouted. More conversations started to spread through the group.
"Sire, if my example can be of any service I will take eleven mice through with no delay," Reepicheep suggested. Peter looked at me, I nodded and then he looked at Susan.
"We'll go," Peter said stepping up to Caspian and Aslan.
"W...we will?" Edmund asked confused.
"Come on. Our times up," he said. "After all we really aren't needed here anymore." Peter handed Caspian his sword. I looked at Audi who stepped up to Caspian. I went to her and hugged her.
"I will look after it until you return," Caspian said taking his sword.
"I'm afraid that's just it. We're not coming back," Susan said.
"What no dad and mum are the high king and queen. They will always be. You can't be serious," Audi looked at me as I handed her my sword and the bracelet Father Christmas gave me. I put it on her wrist and kissed her head.
"We're not?" Lucy asked shocked.
"You two are. At least I think he means you two." Peter said.
"But why? Did they do something wrong?" Lucy asked looking at Aslan.
"Quite the opposite dear one. But all things have their time. Your brother and sisters have learned all they can from this world. Now it's time that they lived in their own."
"It's alright Lu. It's not what I thought it would be," Peter said looking at his youngest sister. "But it's alright. One day you will see it to. Come on."
We went over to the Narnians and bowed. Audi came running into my arms. "You can't leave me. Not after Liam's death," she sobbed. I hugged her and Peter came over and hugged us both.
"Darling Liam isn't gone. He will always live in our hearts. Besides darling his wish will be granted in a few months," I whispered to her. She looked up at me and then at Peter. She smiled and hugged me even tighter.
"I am going to be an older sister!" she shouted making everyone clap. My cheeks were stained red as Lucy squealed in delight and Edmund clapped his brother on the back.
"I wish you could come darling. But I think you will be happier here with Caspian now that your aunt isn't coming back," I whispered to her as we watched her kiss Caspian.
"AUNT SUSAN!" Audi yelled after the kiss. Then Caspian hugged her. "CASPIAN!" We all laughed as Lucy said.
"I am sure when I am older I will understand." I smiled as Peter held me close to him.
"I am not sure I want to understand," Edmund said making us chuckle.
"Yeah right Ed," I said as Peter took this chance to kiss me.
Susan walked away back to us as we watched Audi punch Caspian in the arm. He grabbed his arm in pain but then put it around her. "Take care of her Caspian," Peter called earning a nod from the new king. He turned to me and took my hands. "I will see you soon love."
"I should be back at my grandparents in the next few weeks. Hope to see you all there," I said looking at them. They nodded and we went through the portal. Feeling Peter's hand leave mine as I was now sitting looking at the spring back in Ireland.
