The Battle

Watching as the procession of Cyclopes carrying the witch who sat upon a platform with and a dwarf yelling her name and calling her the queen of Narnia. They stopped in front of Aslan as she got off her perch looking straight at him. "You have a traitor in your midst." She exclaimed.

"His offense was not against you," Aslan stated.

"Have you forgotten the laws upon which Narnia was built?" She retorted.

"DO NOT RECITE THE DEEP MAGIC TO ME WITCH. I was there when it was written." Aslan roared at her.

"Then you'll remember every traitor belongs to me. His blood is my property."

"Try and take him then!" Peter sneered drawing his sword protecting Edmund as I stood in front of Edmund to block him from the witch as much as I could.

"Do you really think that mere force will deny me my right? Little king." She said looking him up and down. I felt my blood starting to boil at her insult. "Aslan knows that unless I have blood as the law demands. All of Narnia will be over turned and will perish in fire and water. That boy will die on the stone table!" She pointed at Edmund and everyone one started to whisper. "As is tradition." She looked back at Aslan. "You dare not refuse me.

"Enough! I shall talk to you alone." Aslan turned walking into his tent as she followed him.

An hour passed, we were sitting on the ground. Edmund was picking at the grass. I took Peter's hand as he looked at the ground with hollow eyes. We all looked up just as the witch was coming out of the tent. She looked at Edmund and then headed for her perch. Aslan came out from behind her glanced at us then at Edmund. "She has renounced her claim on the son of Adams blood," and everyone cheered. Congratulating him.

"How do I know your promise will be kept?" she asked. And he just roared making her sit down. Everyone cheered. Something wasn't right about the whole thing. I saw Aslan turn and headed back into the tent.

As night fallen on the camp I couldn't sleep so just laid in bed staring at the roof of the tent. Hearing something outside my tent then, "Bri are you awake?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah what's going on?" I asked them. Getting out of bed as they came into my tent.

"Aslan just went by our tent. We are going to follow him." Susan explained.

"Come with us?" Lucy asked. I shook my head.

"I am going to stay here. Just in case." I told them. They nodded then left.

It wasn't long before I laid down I fell into a deep dreamless sleep. Something I haven't done in years.

I was woken up to Peter shaking me. "What's wrong Peter?" I asked sitting up groggily.

"Aslan is gone. He sacrificed himself for Edmund." He told me feeling an ache in my heart for Aslan even though I haven't known him for long. Getting up we went outside. Now was the time to start planning for battle later today. Feeling a growing knot in the pit of my stomach.

As the battle grew more and more closer I started getting into my armor when I heard someone cough behind me. Looking back to see that it was Peter. He came over taking my hands.

"You don't have to do this Bri." Shaking my head as I looked at him.

"I do have to do this. Peter I am going to help these people even if it means risking my life. Just like you and your siblings are doing. Just one more thing Peter." Placing my hand to his cheek then moving it to his neck pulling him towards me. My lips captured his into a very passionate kiss. He started kissing back until the need for air became very important.

When we parted he looked at me placing his hand on my face. "Alright just be careful." We continued to get ready for the upcoming battle in a few short hours.

The time has come as Peter and Oreius stood in the front, I was behind Peter in the squad atop my golden mare named Stargaze. On the battle field my stomach in a wave of knots. Then a gryphon came flying down and landed next to Peter reporting to him but I couldn't hear. Then a horn was blown from the enemy army. Creatures that I have never seen were coming towards us. The knots grew tighter seeing that the witch's army was huge. Peter looked back at me and I nodded, then he looked at Edmund. Then he withdrew his sword as a horn was blown.

The army started advancing and with Peter's sword in the air we waited for the signal. Then he gave it and the gryphons flew over us letting go of the boulders they held. Attacking from the sky.

"For Narnia and for Aslan!" Peter yelled and we started on our way to the battle. Stargaze and I galloped with everyone and had my sword ready. I could hear my heart beating so slow and it was as if hours passed before our armies collided. Slashing and stabbed at the Minotaur's and werewolves, dwarves and many other creature that had come to kill me.

The battle wore on I noticed that the witch was on the move. Then I heard a bird calling looking up just as the Phoenix burst into flame and made a barricade of flame. But the witch overcame that obstacle and was advancing.

"Fall back! Draw them to the rocks!" Peter shouted. Stargaze and I fought our way back towards the rocks slashing at anything that came near me. Arrows flew over our heads as we made our way back. Looking up I saw Edmund looking back and saw what he was looking at. Peter was laying on his back on the ground. I jumping off of Stargaze running towards him.

"Head to safety!" I shouted at her. Getting to Peter as we watched Oreius and a rhino fighting the creatures heading for the witch.

"Are you alright!" I yelled. We watched as Oreious was turned to stone by the witch's wand. Minotaur's came axes with the light of the sun and splotches of blood on the blades.

"Edmund there are too many! Get the girls and go home! Bridget you to!" He yelled shaking my head.

"I am not leaving you!" I shouted continuing to fight. Then a crash a blue light gleamed behind us turning to see Edmund had broken the witch's wand. Then she stab him with the broken end. He fell as Peter became a different person. He went right over to the witch fighting her. I couldn't watch the whole battle. As a dark brown Minotaur that had it out for my neck battled against me.

Getting tired but not giving up fighting as much as I could, when there was an explosive roar looking up to see that it was Aslan. Finishing off the creature and turned just in time to see the witch stab Peter in the arm. I thought he was done for. Running over to him when Aslan attacked the witch finishing her off. Rushing over to his side looking at him then to Aslan. Who turned to us and said "It is done."

"Peter! Bridget!" Hearing the girls cry as they came over hugging us. "Where's Edmund?" Susan asked. We rushed over only to see a dwarf going to finish him off. Susan shot him with her bow as we rushed to his side. He was having a difficult time breathing. Lucy gave him a drop of the cordial as his breathing seemed to slow down then as if it almost stopped but then he started to breathe again. Everyone smiled and he looked at us. Then the siblings hugged.

"When are you going learn to do as you are told?" Peter asked almost as if he was going to cry. They all hugged and even pulled me into a hug. We looked back to see Aslan breathe on a figure that was turned to stone. Lucy smiled and picked up her cordial and started going to help the wounded.
