Lucy looked away and stared in disbelief. She ran off towards that direction. The rest quickly followed her. Lucy asked if the other's realized it yet. She quickly pulled Peter to the center, Susan and Edmund beside him and Anya besides Edmund. Lucy stood besides Susan.

"Now imagine walls, columns there, and a glass roof."

Horror seeped in Anya's body.

"Cair Paravel."

"I suggest we make camp for the night and rest till the morrow."

"Starting to talk like a king already, ei Pete?"

"Shut up Anya."

Anya smiled and followed Edmund to gather dry fire wood. Anya couldn't help but feel saddened that she could just pluck whatever she wanted without asking the trees. In a way, she missed the Narnia she knew.

"You think we can turn back time?"

Edmund stopped form his picking and looked at Anya; her hand was shaking. She was loosing her calm composure.

"No there is no such magic," replied he, "even if there is a possibility, I will not allow you to do any of it. We both know how much magic takes its toll on you."

"But—"

"No buts Anya. I don't care if you discovered such magic; I will not allow you to do it."

Dropping her dry sticks she ran and hugged him. Her body convulsed with each sob. "I just wished we didn't leave or perhaps returned sooner." He hugged her tighter. His warm body was a source of comfort for her.

"Come now. Stop those tears. We ought to head back with the wood now. I suppose the light will fade soon."

She pulled back and nodded. Tears were still staining her cheeks and he kissed them away. Picking Anya's fallen fire wood, "now help me out would you. You always let me do the work."

Returning to their 'camp' on the dais, Anya began to regret to have left her sandwich on the platform (it would be a lot better than eating apples). She sat between Susan and Edmund and slowly munched her apple.

"Tomorrow we'll head on to the treasury, but as of now, a rest is in need."

Nodding at Peter's orders, the five children ate quietly. In silent contemplation, Anya's mind wandered off to pleasant memories of the past. She remembered the times when she first entered Narnia; how she and the four Pevensies defeated the white witch, how she jumped in joy when the Pevensies were announced Kings and Queens of Narnia, and how herself was named the Lady of Acheron. She also remembered of her first exploration around Narnia and her neighbouring countries; Peter was not so happy knowing that the girls were going and Edmund also not so happy about it. Pleasant memories indeed, and with that thought, she drifted off to sleep.

Anya woke up with a cramped body. Her muscles were sore and she felt like a good stretch won't even get rid of it. She looked left and right and saw Edmund missing. Anya panicked for a second and was to wake the others, but the calmed when she saw the moonlight on Edmund.

She stood and walked to him. She couldn't help but be very mesmerized by his back facing her. The more time she spent in Narnia, the more she recalls…especially of quite a lot of intimate moments between her and Edmund.

"You cannot sleep," she asked as she sat, "why?"

"Just thinking. Anya…"

"Yes?"

"Cair Paravel was attacked."

Anya sighed and laid down on the grass. Looking up at the stars, she remembered them better than she does in England.

"I was afraid you'll say that. But it would be a lie to say that I was not expecting such conclusion."

They both stayed in silence. It was a comfortable silence, they both laid next to each other and held each other's hand. Anya felt the moons ray calming her.

"I love Ed."

"I know Anya."

"It's at these moments you're suppose to say how much you love me and all the wonderful things about me."

Edmund laughed, "I love you too Anya. And you are the most wonderful woman I've ever met, for staying with me through thick and thin. Does that pleases you love?"

"No, but it would suffice."

Author's Note:

Just a filler thing to show the relationship of Anya with Ed and to show how she does have feelings. I felt the last chapter wasn't my best.

Thank you NarniaQueen and QueenofFantasy for reviewing. It's really appreceiated. Thanks again.
