When Calormenes Attack

Chapter 5. Together Again

Susan's POV

The next day we were in battle. Larry and Lawrence were at our sides. They had refused to fight with Calormenes despite the fact that they threatened their family's. But it was only because they had somehow found out that their family's had moved back to Archenland to settle differences because they thought Larry and Lawrence were dead. We had found out Peter and Edmund had gotten Archenland to fight with Narnia. That would definitely help.

Before I was ready the battle had begun. Lucy and I were fighting back to back. She had her dagger in her left hand and her sword in her right. But soon we were seperated. We were only a few inches apart but it felt like miles. Larry and Lawrence weren't to far away from us. I looked over, far over, and saw Peter and Edmund fighting back to back. Apparently they were having troubles. But from what I understood they were the ones the Calormenes wanted, for what reason I didn't know, so it was better to be safe than sorry!

Then I heard a slight gasp from my right and I turned and looked. Lucy was clutching her stomach. I screamed her name, but she payed me no attention.

"Well, did I hurt the little girl?" the person who stabbed her asked. Lucy bent her head down and I saw the fire come into her eyes, and before the person could do anything she had stabbed him.

"Who's the little girl now?" she asked. I saw her pale and I got to her right before her knees buckled.

"Come on." I said fighting off the tears.

"No! I'm going to help finish this, no matter what." she said putting her dagger up but gipping her sword tighter.

"Lucy, I can't let you do that!" I exclaimed.

"Yes you can! And you will." she replied "I'm fine. Really." she said. She said it so truthfully I had to believe her so I let her stay. And soon the battle was won! I ran over to Edmund and gripped them tight. I excpected to see Lucy beside me, but she wasn't.

"Where's Lucy" Edmund asked looking around anxiously.

"I don't know, I though she was... LUCY!" I screamed not finishing my sentance seeing her not to far off on her knees gripping her stomach, I could tell she was crying as well. I ran over Edmund right beside me but Peter was still confused. She was completely on the ground by now. I was hysterical by now. I pulled her into my arms. She seemed completely unaware of mine and Edmund's presence. Edmund seemed as though he were on the verge of tears as well. By now Peter had come back down to earth and ran over.

"Her cordial" Edmund whispered.

"What?" I asked for I didn't really hear what he said at first.

"Her cordial! Use it!" he said louder reaching for her cordial. He unscrewed the top because my arms were busy holding Lucy. He poured in a drop and put the top back on. He closed his eyes as if expecting something. A few seconds later and she still hadn't come around, in fact she wasn't breathing. Peter and I were crying hysterically but Edmund was still blank. He was whispering something but I didn't know what. I didn't care. If he didn't care enough about his little sister to drop his pride and cry then I could no longer care about him. Then I heard his words.

"Come on Lucy, push through, it's all you have to do, just push through, please push through!" he whispered.

I looked up. "What?" I asked.

He seemed to pay me no attention. "Come on push through, push through, PUSH THROUGH!" he said tears finally falling. He opened his eyes. "She didn't make it" he said shaking his head "it's to late now. It would take a miracle" he said silent tears falling down his cheeks.

"What do you mean?" Peter asked. "When the witch stabbed me I the cordial doesn't just work, you have to work for it, that's what took so long for me to wake up." he replied.

"You mean she had to fight for her own life?" I asked.

"And she lost apparently." he said.

I looked back down at Lucy, who was no longer breathing, and who was very limp. Then Edmund started smiling. How could he smile when his little sister was dead? Then she took a deep breath and her eyes opened. I was to shocked to say anything and from the looks of it Peter was too. Edmund's look was...pride?

"You did it." he said smiling. Lucy smiled apparently understanding. Then he ripped her from my grip and hugged her close. Then Peter hugged her because they had to do something else. Something with the Calormene king and the Archenland king. I helped Lucy up and we gripped onto each other.

"Is everything ok?" I heard someone ask. I let Lucy go and I saw Lawrence and Larry.

I nodded my head. "It is now." I said. Lucy just nodded her head. They turned around to walk off.

"And Lawrence." Lucy said quickly. He turned around. She kissed him on the cheek. I was shocked. I had never known her to be so... open about this type of thing.

"What was that for?" Lawrence asked, blushing something terrible.

"Nothing in particular" she replied smiling blushing slightly.

"Ahem! Do you want to introduce to your new...friend?" I heard Peter ask from behind.

"Peter! Edmund!" Lucy exclaimed. Edmund looked like he was ok with the situation, Peter, not so much. Then there was a slight exchange between Lawrence and Lucy. "Peter, Edmund, I would like you to meet Lawrence. He and wish to...court... each other." she said unsure of how to word the sentance. Peter looked very unsure and Edmund was blank.

"Well, Ed what do you think?" Peter asked.

Edmund looked Lawrence up and down. "Well, he looks nice, and I trust Lucy's judgment." Edmund replied.

"Then I, regretably, accept your courtship" Peter said. I looked over at Edmund who was beaming. Lucy finally had a courtier! FINALLY! Lucy looked very happy. Everything was settled and well once again. I just hoped it would stay that way.
