Aslan's Heir
Chapter 2: His Vision
Peter's PoV
*And with that the Pevensies went to their respectful rooms and fell to sleep with dreams of the future*
I woke up to see that the full moon was still shining upon the castle, why is it still night? I went to bed at 11 and it should be about 6:30, for that is when i am awaken for my duties. But until that time, I shal go see if Edmund has woken early as well.
As I left and walked over to Edmunds room across the hall, I saw that the door was slightly open. And as I peeked inside I only saw the body of my handsome young brother. Wait, handsome? Where did that come from? I dont like Ed, do I?
I went to his bed to see his face as he slept. He is dreaming, for he bares a smile on his face. As I move a piece of hair from his face he, leans against my hand and mumbles my name.
And at that moment I knew that I had fallen in love with him.
And as I leaned down to kiss him, a shadow came forward and knocked me off the bed. And the next thing I knew, I was being held by... two fauns! What are my people doing?
As I struggled I saw that the shadow was a man dressed in all black with cold hazel eyes. He looked to be in his mid 30's. But this is impossible! The only humans that are in Narnia are my siblings and I or... Telmarines!! They have betrayed us again, but for what?
Then Edmund stirred and sat up to rub the sleep from his eyes, and when he looked over he saw the man dressed in black. And just as he was about to scream the man placed his and over his mouth and placed a sharp dagger on his throat. This only made me more upset.
And thats when he saw me. And he looked more shocked then scared at the moment, for he had never thought that I would be in this state, and in his own chambers too. Then thats when he spoke to me.
" Peter, what's going on?"
" This man is trying to kidnap you is my guess, whats yours?" And this made Edmund chuckle in my head. For Ed and I have created a way (by magical means) for us to speak to eachother by thought. And no one can hear us or know when we are speaking this way.
" Alright you two love birds, its time to say goodbye, for the black birdie has to go" said the Telmarine with his thick accent. And as he said it he pulled Edmunds head back and bite his neck making him groan. Which made him laugh and my blood boil.
But as he was leaving a swung my head back and slammed it into one of the fawns faces, causing them to loose their grip and stagger back. And when the other came for me I took their dagger and sliced his stomach, killing him.
And as I turned around with the dagger still in hand, I saw that the kidnapper was out stone cold and Edmund was holding a red stained blade.
I smiled at him as he came over to give me the proper greeting of a hug.
" I thought I was going to lose you Ed" I said as I felt tears threatening to spill from my eyes. And when we split apart I saw that Edmund was also crying. As I wiped the tears from his face, he placed his pale hand against mine and held it to his face. Time seemed to low as we stood there like a piece of art, and when he dropped my hand, I could still feel his hand on mine.
" I should be going back to my chambers now" I didnt want to leave, but Ed and i needed sleep, for in a fortnight Edmund will be crowned Aslan's heir.
Edmund hesitated before saying "Yeah, I guess you should, goodnight Peter"
And as i walked to the door I kept thinking I should do what I wanted to do. And as I reached the door I decided i would. I turned around and walked over to Edmund, put one arm around his waist and kissed him. And it felt.... good.
i have kissed girls before, but never like this. Edmunds lips were soft and smooth, it felt like that his lips were meant to be kissed by me, for they fit together perfectly. And after we parted for breath and I went to kiss him again, something hard hit my head and I feel over on my back.
I looked up to see another telmarine holding Ed with the same knife he used. And as the lights faded around me I screamed " E......."
" Edmund!!!" I screamed as I shot up in bed covered in cold sweat. I looked around to see that I was back in my chambers, and it was 11:30. But thats impossible, for I was in Ed's rooms at midnight.
" It was only a dream" i said to reasure myself that I hadent been knocked out for about a day. That would have caused a big headache. I looked over to see that my royal attire was laid out on the chair near my bed. And when i looked to the other side I saw... Edmund.
Wait, Edmund? He is suppose to be in his room, but he must have heard me screaming and came over to comfort me. He looked the same as he did before we all retired for the night. He was still wearing his birthday attire that Susan and Lucy picked out for him. And they did a great job.
For his outfit contained a dark blue tunic with a silver lion stamped on the front with dark blue trousers and dark black boots. The choice of clothing made his pale skin stand out even more. But to me he was still beautiful.
I decided to let him sleep. So I placed a quilt over him and slipped back into bed to sleep and dream of Edmund and I in the future to come.
8 hours later
No PoV
The morning sun shined through the windows of the dinning hall as the kings and queens at their breakfast. As the cool summer breeze slipped into the room eveything was at peace. But, Peter was still fretting about the dream he had last night.
As they ate, little to no conversation was held, for there was nothing for them to say that wasnt said already, except for one thing.
" Peter, did you get enough sleep last night?" asked Lucy is a worried tone. Everyone turned to Peter who was as silent and pale as death. For Peter did get his sleep, its just that the dream was still fresh in his mind.
" Of course I did, why wouldnt I Lucy" he asked in a nervouse tone.
"Because you had a terrible dream last night"
"No I didnt Lucy"
"No deny it Peter, Edmund told us before you came in"
All eyes were planted on Peter, but his eyes were on his brother. For Peter figured that Ed would tell the girls, just.... not so soon. But if they were told later, they would be even more worried about him.
" You told them Ed?" asked Peter in a low but upset tone.
"Because I know your dream was about me Pete" Now all eyes were fixed on Edmund, for how could he know, unless Peter already told.
But Peter didnt say anything to Edmund about the dream. " How do you know Ed?" asked Susan.
Edmund took a deep breath and said....
" I had the same dream"
Cliffhanger guys, sorry but i have writer block thats why i made this chapter end so early.
And thanks to the person who gave me the idea to have Edmund captured, and you know who you are.
