A.N. Okay, I'm considering changing the rating to M because of what could happen in future chapters, it we will have to see. My third and last chapter tonight. I'm getting a lot done because school is coming up so I will not get to write as much.
Enjoy, review, favourite, follow.
Lucy had been taken away, Lillandil was going to marry Peter and nothing felt right to him anymore. It was Edmund's last day when he saw Peter lying face down on his bed in the same clothes he had worn the day before.
"Do you feel like your heart's been ripped out." He said simply as he sat on the ground, leaning back on the bed. Peter moved off of the bed slowly to sit beside his cousin.
Peter's face was red and he had puffy eyes. They were bloodshot and turned a green colour from all of the crying he had done. He also hadn't bothered to comb his hair so it fell in front of his eyes when he looked at his cousin beside him, while resting his cheek on his knees that were at his chest.
"I feel like my heart has been ripped out, hit with a hammer and the pieces thrown out of the window to be carried off by the wind. So, I'm pretty destroyed right now." Peter swallowed back the urge to start crying like hysterical child. Edmund rubbed his back.
"I wish I could stay and have Eustace come here so he wouldn't be so lonely, but we both have to sail to the Lone Islands for a little while. It's too bad you couldn't join us, Pete, Eustace misses seeing you as much as I do." Peter let out a small laugh.
He thought back to when the three were children. They would often try to go sailing to the Lone Islands as much as they could with their family. Edmund and Peter were like brothers but they were still very close with their other cousin Eustace. Eustace was mean to the two at first but then quickly grew out of that stage when he was around them more. They would always pretend to be pirates when on the ship and run around on the islands whenever they landed. The three loved being on the sea.
"I cannot believe they locked her up for something that didn't happen." Peter whispered softly but Edmund was still able to hear him.
"They would have easily believed her because she is set to marry you. Jealousy fuels her, Lilliandil knew Lucy was a threat, so she got her out of the way." Edmund's words didn't help Peter feel any better, but it explained reasoning behind the decision that he couldn't see from being upset that Lucy was gone.
She was the one person he met with almost every night for about three months after they first met. He taught her to dance, she taught him to cook. He taught her to show that there can be happiness in the world, she taught him how to open himself up to someone new. Peter felt like every kiss the shared was a lot like the first, he smiled at the thought of it.
Edmund had left the room to let Peter have his peace and his memories. Peter thought more about Lucy as he climbed up onto his bed. He remembered how she felt in his arms. He remembered the one night where Peter didn't go until almost four in the morning because the two had fallen asleep on Lucy's bed. He remembered all of the kisses they shared, how great it felt to hold her, how quickly she learnt to dance and all of the little things like her smile and sparkly blue eyes.
Peter sighed and sat up. He moved to the edge of his bed when his door opened slowly. Lilliandil walked in and sat beside him. She rested her head on his shoulder.
"I shall be married to you in two weeks! Aren't you excited, Peter?" Lilliandil asked and Peter nodded.
"I don't think excited is the right word to use." Maybe creeped out, annoyed, terrified? Peter thought to himself and Lilliandil laughed.
"Oh, I love your humour, Peter. It's one of the many things to love about you." Peter didn't even have time to respond when he felt Lilliandil's lips on his.
They felt wrong, their lips just didn't seem to fit right. But Lilliandil didn't care, she continued to kiss him and moved one hand to his back and the other to the back of his neck. She moved back so her head rested on the pillows and Peter was forced on top of her by her hand pushing him into her.
Peter got out of her grip and stumbled off his bed onto the floor below. He quickly stood and rushed out of the door, leaving Lilliandil with a shocked look on her face while leaning on one arm.
Caspian was awakened by Peter shaking his shoulders violently. He rubbed his eyes and sat up to light a candle that was near his bed.
"Peter, why are you waking me up? I was busy sleeping." Caspian yawned and Peter shook him by the shoulders again.
"I need to get down to the dungeon to see Lucy, I can't stand being with Lilliandil." Peter stood up and went to walk out of the room when he turned around to his friend.
"Draw the curtains back, it's almost ten in the morning, you should not be sleeping." Caspian did what he was told when Peter ran out of the door, shutting the door behind him.
Everyone left Peter alone, knowing he would have a lot on his mind. They thought he was thinking about the wedding, but he was thinking of Lucy. He grabbed a bunch of keys from a hook and ran to the side of the castle. He found the right key and unlocked the door.
"Lucy?" He whispered softly. Lucy was the only one that was in the castle dungeon and knew she would most likely hear him. The only response he received was a small clanging noise. He rolled the echo of it up the long cold stone walkway where he found Lucy in one of the far cells.
Peter used the keys he got to find the right one. He unlocked the cell and quickly went inside. His lips immediately found Lucy's and the two laid down with Peter on top as they shared their happiness for seeng each other. The two rested their foreheads on each other's when they pulled away for air but neither moved an inch expect for when Lucy's hands found Peter's.
"I needed to see you again. I missed you too much." Peter said before kissing her again until they needed to breathe.
"I missed you too, Peter. But you should get off of me in case the guards find us like this." Lucy said suddenly but Peter only smirked and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him before he spoke again.
"Let them see. Maybe then they will let you go and lock Lilliandil up." The two moved their lips together again and Lucy ran a hand down Peter's back to the bottom of it and rested her hand on the lower part of his back under his shirt. Peter was the first one to pull away for a short time.
"I love you, Lucy, I should have said it sooner but I will say it now just so you know."
"I love you too, Peter. More than you will ever know if I am in here for the rest of my life." Peter crawled off of Lucy and helped her to sit up. Se sat in his lap as they held each other in comfortable silence for a few hours. Peter felt better than he had. He told her about the marriage to break the silence and Lucy had accepted that it would have happened. He wished, however, that it would be Lucy in Lilliandil's place.
