A Problem In The Golden Age
Chapter 5. An Unhappy Discovery
Peter's POV
The next morning I woke up to see Edmund. I then remembered what had happened yesterday and the night before. Our sisters had been kidnapped. Then bad dreams practically forced us to sleep in the same bed. We were very lucky for each other. I don't think we would have made it through if it hadn't been for each other. There was a knock at the door. I looked over at Edmund. About that time he rolled over the other side of the bed. It took all I had from cracking up. I saw a head peak up from the other side of the bed dark eyes giving me the worst look.
"Good... morning" he grumbled.
"Good morning. Rise and shine" I remarked smiling mischievously. He smacked me with a pillow. Then I grabbed one and smacked him back. The pillow fight was on! I even forgot about who was at the door. And luckily no feathers went flying. I accidentlly fell off of the side of the bed. Edmund leaned over the side of the bed.
"HA!" he said. I was about to whap him with the pillow when the door opened. We both looked over. Orieus was standing in the doorway.
"Orieus" I said straightening up and putting the pillow behind my back. Edmund remained laying on the bed, pillow in hand, starring at Orieus with big shocked eyes. I'm sure it was a funny sight for Orieus, seeing his two Kings having a pillowfight one sprawled halfway off the bed ready for a hit the other one about to hit the younger.
"It's a good thing you came in here during the night Your Majesty." he said to me before the room got to uncomfortable. Edmund and I exchanged glances.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Come with me" he said.
"Help" Edmund said as he started to slip.
"Oh ok" I said grabbing the hands he held out for support and yanking him hard off the bed onto the ground. He yelped as he saw what I was doing. When Orieus was out of sight he whacked me with the pillow. We followed behind Orieus and he lead us to my room so we walked in. There we found 2 daggers sticking up where I would have been laying. The way I had left my pillow and blanets could have very well been taken for a body. And stuck to one was:
"One dagger for each Queen you protect so highly. 1 King down 1 King to go. Good luck King Edmund."Edmund clung to me.
"You would be dead" he said "I would be alone!" He was shaking at the discovery. It scared him. It scared me too. I was worried about the good luck King Edmund. Why were they out to get Edmund and I.
"I wonder if that's why I heard a roar." I said.
"What?" Edmund asked.
"When I woke up I heard a roar and with the dream I wanted to make sure YOU were ok so I ran out. And it was so dark whoever they are didn't know I wasn't in the bed and with you. If they had known I was with you we would... both.. be... dead." I said studdering on the last part realizing I could have endangered my little brother.
"Well, the important thing is that your BOTH safe and alive."Orieus said. Edmund was still clinging to me. I hugged him back. We were both extreemly scared and we were both extreemly happy that the other was safe. And we were both worried more for the other than ourselves. I looked down at him and he had a tear-streaked face.
"Please get dressed and report to your office, and King Edmund come with him." Orieus said. We nodded and stared at the bed for a moment before leaving.
