"Uh, yes," Peter said. Riley grabbed the robe that was on the chair beside the bed and put it on as she stood up.

"How?" she asked as she turned to look at him.

"You don't know?" Peter asked. Riley shook her head. Peter leaned over and grabbed his pants of the floor and quickly put them on. He stood up and walked over to Riley.

"By doing what we did last night, you unofficially became High Queen." Peter told her.

"That's why Edmund didn't continue to argue with me. He knew that by sleeping with you I'd earn that title." Riley said, finally getting it. "This is perfect. Lady Felicity isn't going to know what hit her."

Riley started to walked toward the door, but Peter stopped her.

"If she is a witch, then ticking her off isn't a good idea. Let's figure out a different strategy." Peter told her. Riley sighed and crossed her arms.

"What do you have in mind? Are you going to pretend to still be under her spell, lure her to Narnia and then destroy her plan?" Riley asked.

"Exactly." Peter said. Riley looked at him and began to object but he stopped her. "Riley, don't worry."

"I do worry. And as High Queen of Narnia I have to protest," Riley told him. Peter let out a laugh and gave her an amusing look.

"Look at you, already using your title against me," Peter said. He leaned over and kissed her on her forehead. "Don't worry about me. What you need to do is figure out where Susan and Lucy are."

"Okay, just be careful."

"Always." he gently kissed her on the lips before grabbing his shirt, putting it on and leaving the room. Riley sat on the edge of the bed and let out a long sigh. Just out of curiosity, she scooted further on the bed and crossed her legs. She sat up straight, and closed her eyes. Her breathing slowed and all thoughts were pushed out of her head.

When she opened her eyes she found herself standing in the corner of a bedroom that wasn't hers. Riley saw Felicity walk in with a couple soldiers. The soldiers were dressed in the same armor as the ones that attacked her and Peter in the woods. She looked at them, and noticed that they didn't see her.

"All things are going as according to plan. Peter is fully under my spell. Riley is out and I'm in. I'll have Narnia under my power in no time. Jadis would be so proud of me. Those Pevensies will pay for what they did to her." Felicity said.

"My lady, if you don't mind me asking, why do you care about the White Witch?" the soldier asked. Riley was wondering that as well.

"Because, she was my mentor. She taught me everything I know. I was suppose to rule by her side when I came of age. But then those stupid children came and ruined it all. Well, now I will get my revenge. Those stuck-up Queens and that idiotic King will be killed."

"What of High King Peter?"

"The Narnians won't approve of me becoming their High Queen if all their precious kings and queens are dead. I need Peter in order to get that title and earn Narnia's trust. And after all is said and done, he'll die as well. Narnia will forever have Winter in honor of Jadis and I'll finally have the rank I deserve." Felicity told him. Riley wanted to punch her, but knew she wouldn't be able to. She closed her eyes, reopened them, and saw she was back in her room, sitting on her bed.

"Riley?" Edmund asked as he walked into the room. Riley turned her head and looked at him.

"I was knocking on your door for five minutes," Edmund told her. "What were you doing?"

"I think I did a little witchcraft," Riley replied.

"What happened?" Edmund asked. He walked over and sat next to her on the bed.

"I don't know. I sat here, closed my eyes, and when I opened them I was in Lady Felicity's room," Riley told him.

"What did you see?" he asked. Riley told him and he was stunned.

"She was the White Witch's apprentice? Well, that changes things." Edmund said.

"Yes, that means we're not fighting a little girl that thinks she can do magic. We're fighting an actual witch."

"But, from my point of view we've got our own witch." Edmund told her.

"I'll have to practice, because at this point I probably can't even float a twig." Riley replied. Edmund laughed.

"So, changing subjects. How was last night?" Edmund asked. Riley looked over and saw him smiling at him.

"You knew that if I went through with it I would unofficially get that title."

"Well, at first I didn't even think of it, but then it hit me." Edmund replied. "So, High Queen, what's the first order of business?"

"We find Susan and Lucy and get back to Narnia." Riley told him.

"Wait, what about Peter?"

"He's going to try and destroy Felicity's plan from the inside." Riley answered.

"That means pretending he's fallen for her. I'd hate to be him," Edmund muttered the last bit.

"Exactly."

"So, how do you plan on finding Susan and Lucy?" Edmund asked.

"I guess I'll do a bit more meditation. Hopefully, if I think of them, I'll find them. Then there's the problem of actually getting them out."

"Well, one step at a time. Get into your trance. There's some stuff I need to take care of." Edmund said. Riley nodded and closed her eyes. She heard him leave and then she focused on her task. She thought of Susan and Lucy and when she opened her eyes, she was in the dungeon. It was dark, and smelled horrid. Riley looked in several cells and found that they were empty. Near the end of the row she found Susan and Lucy sleeping on the floor. She reached out to touch the bars and when she did, she actually touched them.

"Weird," she said to herself. Lucy and Susan stirred and woke up. Lucy looked up and saw Riley. She smiled and stood up. Susan followed.

"Riley, what are you doing?" Lucy asked.

"What do you think? I'm here to get you out." Riley answered.

"How are you going to manage that?" Susan asked.

"Same way I got down here. Witchcraft." she told her. Noticing their looks she added, "I'll explain later." Riley tried hard to think of what she could do. She visualized a light creeping up from her foot all the way into her arm, and out her fingers which she had placed on the lock. Suddenly, there was a click and the door was open. Lucy and Susan quickly got out of their cell and hugged Riley.

"What's happened?" Susan asked.

"A lot. Listen, I'll explain everything, but we need to get out of here first." Riley told them. Susan and Lucy nodded. Riley looked around, trying to find a way out. "Okay, I need you both to close your eyes and visualize my room."

Susan and Lucy did as she said. Riley placed her hands on their shoulders and closed her eyes as well. When she opened them, she let out a sigh. They were back in her room. Susan and Lucy looked around in disbelief.

"Okay, now can you explain?" Susan asked. Riley nodded and began telling them everything. When she reached the part about her and Peter's night, she tried to word it as well as she could so Lucy didn't understand. Then, at the part about Jadis, both the queens got angry looks on their faces. But, they seemed glad about Riley being part witch.

"I wish Aslan would help." Lucy said. Susan and Riley looked at her, both wanting the same thing.

"Then we'll get him to help," Riley said. Susan and Lucy looked at her, confused. Riley walked over to the bedroom door and looked out. When she saw that no one was around she turned back to Susan and Lucy.

"Listen, I'm going to get you two to the stables. Grab a horse and get out of here. Go back to Narnia and find Aslan. I'm going to get Edmund and we'll head to Cair Paravel and see if we can't take it back." Riley instructed.

"What about Peter?" Lucy asked.

"Peter has a different job. Are you coming?" Riley answered as she opened the door. Susan and Lucy followed her out of the room. They carefully made their way to the stables, making sure they didn't run into anyone. When they got there, Susan and Lucy quickly found the horse they rode to Archenland on and got on it.

"Good luck," Riley told them.

"Be careful, Riley. If it's true that she was taught by Jadis, it isn't going to be easy to defeat her," Susan replied.

"I know."

Susan nodded. She grabbed the reins and her and Lucy were gone. Riley watched as they left the stable and ran through the court yard.

"Goddess, protect them," Riley whispered to herself. She turned and headed back to her room. When she returned, Peter was sitting on her bed.

"Peter, what's wrong?" she asked as she closed the door behind her. Peter stood up and walked over to her. He grabbed her and pulled her into a hug.

"I'm sorry," he whispered as he pulled away.

"Sorry for what?" Riley asked. Peter gave her a sad look and then everything went black.

When Riley woke up, she found herself in her bedroom in Cair Paravel, with a bad headache. She sat up and looked around. Through the window she saw that it was snowing. She threw the covers off of her and walked over to the balcony. It was freezing cold and there was at least an inch of snow on the ground. Riley quickly walked back into her room and got dressed. She put on a black and dark red dress. She put on a tiny bit of make-up and left the room. She walked until she reached Peter's room. Riley was about to knock on it when it suddenly opened. Peter stopped dead in his tracks at the sight of Riley. Riley began to feel angry at him, remembering what happened in Anvard, so with all her might she punched him in the face, sending him to the ground.

"You son of a bitch," she said. Peter stood up, moving his jaw to make sure it wasn't broken. He looked at her in disbelief.

"What the hell was that for?" Peter asked.

"You know damn well what that was for. You knocked me unconscious and drug me all the way back to Narnia. Why?"

"Okay, if you calm down I'll tell you." Peter told her. Riley stepped back and waited for his explanation. "Felicity forced me to marry her that morning."

"What?" Riley was shocked. Peter had gotten married, but what hurt her the most was that it wasn't to her. She fell to the ground, on the verge of tears.

"Riley, I had no choice. If I didn't agree, she would have known I wasn't under a spell anymore and things would have gotten worse. The second the ceremony was over, she left and headed here to claim her throne. She ordered me to capture you and then head here. But, what she doesn't know is that you're not in the dungeon like she ordered."

"You couldn't have told me this before you hit me over the head? I would have come willingly."

"No you wouldn't have, especially if you had found out about the marriage thing." Peter replied. He was right, Riley would have argued with him to no end.

"So, I'm not the High Queen anymore?"

"No, you still are. Felicity isn't going to go through a crowning ceremony. She just gave herself the title. I didn't even sleep with her. So, the marriage isn't completely valid." Peter told her.

"Good. Have you seen how powerful of a witch she is?"

"Yes, and it doesn't look good for us. She's more powerful than Jadis."

"Yeah, but I have one thing she doesn't have."

"And what's that?" Peter asked. Riley gave him a light kiss on the lips and smiled.

"You," she answered. Someone laughed behind her and when she turned around, she saw Felicity.

"That's touching. Really, it is. But, now I'm afraid I'm going to have to kill you." Felicity said. Riley felt a sharp pain in her side and looked down to see that she was bleeding. She turned and looked at Peter. He held up a dagger and smiled at Riley.

"Sorry love, nothing personal, but I don't think it's going to work between us," Peter said. Riley stepped away from both of them, holding her side. Tears ran down her face, and she looked at Peter before collapsing on the ground.
