Hello again told you I'd try to write more.
Disclaimer: I don't own Narnia, we all know that by now. And I also don't own Glee, otherwise it would look sooo different (reason will be explained later).
R&R People!
Onto the story!
If I could change one thing, it would be whatever is keeping us apart.
Chapter 13: Someone new
As Edmund walked into the castle he was hugging himself and looking around quite scared of the stone statues, who seemed frozen in the middle of battle and littered the courtyard.
Seeing a pile of charcoal lying on the feet of a lion standing there he picked it up and drew glasses and a mustache not seeing the harm of it.
At the top of the stairs was a statue of a wolf or so Edmund thought until he stepped over it and he was suddenly on his back.
"Be still, stranger, or you'll never move again." The wolf growled in Edmund's face, who noticed the smell of decay and blood coming from the mouth of the wolf.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Edmund! I met the Queen in the woods! She told me to come back here! I'm a son of Adam!" Edmund yelled trying to convince the wolf of his innocence adding the last part as that seemed to persuade the Queen the last time.
"Hmm. My apologies, fortunate favorite of the Queen." The wolf said as he stepped of Edmund so he could get up.
"Or else, not so fortunate." the wolf seemed to whisper.
"Right this way." The wolf said as he led Edmund up the stairs to what Edmund presumed was the throne room.
As Edmund entered the throne room he looked around in awe, as the complete room was made of ice.
"Wait here." The wolf said as he went up some stairs.
Edmund of course didn't listen as he went up to the throne that was wrapped around in fur and sat down imagining what it would feel like to rule over Narnia in that throne.
As lost as he was in his fantasy he didn't notice the Queen coming up beside him and jumped when she said: "Like it?"
"Uh... Yes, Your Majesty." Edmund said with a slight quiver in his voice from getting caught.
"I thought you might." She said sitting down in the throne.
"Tell me, Edmund. Are your sisters and friend deaf?"
"No." Edmund said.
"And you brother, is he … unintelligent?" She asked looking down at him.
"Well, I think so. But Mum says..." Edmund says before the witch starts yelling.
"Then how dare you come alone?!" standing up towering above him.
Which makes Edmund step down the stairs saying: "I tried!"
"Edmund, I asked so little of you." She said while she keeps advancing on him.
"They just don't listen to me!" He said stepping even further.
"You couldn't even do that." She said sounding disappointment.
"I did bring them halfway." Edmund said which made the witch stop and look at Edmund.
"They're at the little house at the dam with the Beavers." Edmund said not thinking.
"Well. I suppose you're not a total loss then, are you?" The witch said turning around and walking away until Edmund said:
"Well, I was wondering, could I maybe have some more Turkish delight now?" Edmund said going up the stairs again.
The witch turned from looking at Edmund to looking at the dwarf saying: "Our guest is hungry."
Which made the dwarf smile and walk towards Edmund pushing his dagger in Edmund's back pushing him to god knows where saying: "This way for your num-nums."
As the dwarf was pushing him away the witch said: "Maugrim? You know what to do."
Which made the fear in Edmund spike.
With Peter, Susan, Amelia and Lucy
"Somethings wrong." Amelia said as they began making their way back to the dam.
"What did you say, Am?" Peter asked having heard her murmur.
"Somethings wrong, Edmund likes the witch but I feel that he's scared." She said looking at him.
"You feel his fear?" Peter asked. "How?"
"I don't know." She answered and then heard wolf howls.
"We gotta move." Mr. Beaver said. "It's her police."
Making everyone run through the thick snow.
As they enter the dam Mr. Beaver immediately says: "Hurry, Mother! They're after us!"
"Oh, right then." Mrs. Beaver said and started to walk around in the dam.
"What's she doing?" Peter asked Mr. Beaver who sighted.
"Oh, you'll be thanking me later." Mrs. Beaver said as she takes some bread.
"It's a long journey and Beaver get pretty cranky when he's hungry."
"I'm cranky now!" He said as Susan starts to help.
"They're here." Amelia said as she hears the wolfs right outside the door and seconds later they hear scratching at the dam.
"Do you think we'll need jam?" Susan said.
"Only if the Witch serves toast." Peter said making Susan look at him.
"Come on quickly." Mr. Beaver said as he pulls a panel away to reveal a pathway out and jumps in, Peter, Susan and Lucy following.
"Come on dear, you first." Mrs. Beaver said.
"No you go, I'd have a strange feeling if I didn't know everyone was in." Amelia said pushing Mrs. Beaver in, walked in herself and then quickly shut the door.
"Badger and me dug this. Comes out right near his place." Mr. Beaver said as they were running with Peter and Susan behind him.
"You told me it led to your mum's!" Mrs. Beaver said as she passed Lucy and Amelia who were now last.
Lucy not noticing a root sticking out of the floor fell over and hurt her shin, which made Amelia yell: "Ow!"
"Lu, are you okay?" Amelia said as she helped Lucy get up.
"I'm fine, thanks." Lucy said and then gestured for them to move while saying: "They're in the tunnel."
"Quick! This way!" Mr. Beaver said while Amelia looked behind her.
"Hurry!" Mrs. Beaver said.
"Run!" Peter yelled.
"Quick! Quick! Quick!" Mrs. Beaver said.
"Amelia come on!" Lucy yelled which seemed to snap Amelia out of a sort of trance.
"You should have brought a map!" Mrs. Beaver yelled hysterically at Mr. Beaver to which he reapplied : "There wasn't room next to the jam."
Peter helped everyone up until just him and Amelia were left.
"Am, come on!" Peter said wanting her to go first.
"Peter please go first." Amelia said looking at him with a strange sense of fear in her eyes.
"Fine, but you come up right behind me." Peter said.
"Yes, now go, please!" Amelia yelled as Peter climbs up and she jumps through the hole, while Peter and Mr. Beaver roll a barrel in front of the opening and Lucy falls.
Then Mr. Beaver sees over what Lucy fell and then notices a statue of a badge and slowly walks towards it.
"I'm so sorry, dear." Mrs. Beaver said and Amelia understood what the statues really were and embraced Lucy.
"He was my best mate." Mr. Beaver said as Lucy shook off Amelia's embrace and then walks around seeing all the statues and also knowing what the statues were and then ran back to Amelia.
"What happened here?" Peter asked the beavers.
"This is what becomes of those who cross the Witch." A new voice said who made Mrs. Beaver scream and because of that Amelia pushed Lucy behind her.
"You take one more step, traitor, and I'll chew you to splinters!" Mr. Beaver said pissed while his wife had to keep him back.
"Relax. I'm one of the good guys." The fox said as he jumped down from the roof of the building.
"Yeah? Well, you look an awful lot like one of the bad ones." Mr. Beaver said.
"An unfortunate family resemblance." The fox said.
"But we can argue breeding later. Right now we've got to move." The fox said as Amelia heard the wolf howls getting closer again pulling Lucy close again.
"What did you have in mind?" Peter said and the fox gestured to the big tree in the clearing.
Peter helped Susan climb up the tree and Amelia helped Lucy get up the tree as she always climbed trees in Finchley, just as they were sitting precariously on a branch, the wolves burst through the barrel which made Lucy shake.
"Greetings, gents." The fox said as the wolves started to surround him. "Lost something, have we?"
"Don't patronize me!" Maugrim snapped. "I know where your allegiance lies. We're looking for some humans." Maugrim said which made the fox laugh.
"Humans? Here in Narnia? That's a valuable bit of information, don't you think?" The fox said and A wolf grabbed the fox between his teeth which made Lucy gasp and Amelia hold her hand in front of Lucy's mouth.
"Your reward is your life." Maurgim said close to the fox's face. "It's not much, but still."
And Lucy was still shaking, Amelia let her go and gestured for her to be quite, and Lucy nods.
"North. They ran north." the fox said ducking his head.
"Smell them out." Maugrim said and the wolf holding the fox dropped him on the floor and the wolves left.
After waiting for a second until the wolf really left, Amelia helped Lucy get down and then they ran to the wolf.
"Are you okay?" Amelia asked the fox.
"I'll be fine. Make a fire." The fox said.
"Let me help you get to that cave first." Amelia said and gingerly picked up the fox and placed him down in the cave.
"Peter can you get firewood?" Amelia asked.
"Of course." Peter said jogging away.
"Susan, Lucy sit down. Mrs. Beaver can you help him?" Amelia asked gesturing to the fox.
"I'll try my best sweetheart." Mrs. Beaver said.
"We got the firewood." Peter said as he emerged from the forest with Mr. Beaver at his side.
"Okay just put it down there." Amelia said gesturing to the little cave and when Peter did she sat down and took 2 think twigs and started trying to make a fire.
After 10 minutes of trying she finally got the fire started and they all could start warming up.
"They were helping Tumnus The Witch got here before I did." The fox started after a comfortable silence of half an hour.
"OW! Oh!" He yelled as Mrs. Beaver started closing off the wound caused by the wolf.
"Are you alright?" Lucy asked as she was watching Mrs. Beaver closing off the wound.
"Well, I wish I could say their bark was worse than their bite. Ow!" The fox said and then flinched away from the needle.
"Stop squirming! You're worse than Beaver on bath day." Mrs. Beaver said.
"Worst day of the year." Mr. Beaver said making everyone laugh.
"I need to speak to one of the ladies alone." The fox said.
"Amelia could I talk to you." The fox said.
"Of course." She said looking up for the first time during the conversation.
"The Beaver doesn't know there is another prophecy. The prophecy of the protectors:
They each protect two,
keeping them from harm.
Brother and sister,
side by side protecting the kings and queens.
Young and old,
protecting as equals.
"What are you saying?" Amelia asks.
"You are one of the protectors, the protector of the young king and queen."
"Edmund and Lucy." Amelia said.
"Yes, exactly."
"You seem to be forgetting one small fact, I'm an only child. I don't have a brother." Amelia said.
"But you do, you just never knew him." The fox said. "He's here. You've been feeling the emotions and pain from Edmund and Lucy haven't you?"
"Yes." Amelia said.
"That's the protector in you, that's why you let Peter go up first, because as long as your brother is not here to protect Peter and Susan you will feel like you have to." The fox said.
"Thank you, for telling me." Amelia said.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm afraid that's all the cure I have time for." The fox said as Amelia sat down again in the spot she was before.
"You're leaving?" Lucy asked.
"It has been a pleasure, My Queen, and an honor, but time is short and Aslan himself has asked me to gather more troops." The fox said sounding a little proud.
"You've seen Aslan?" Mr. Beaver asked.
"What's he like?" Mrs. Beaver asks.
"Like everything we've ever heard." The fox said. "You'll be glad to have him by your side in the battle against the Witch." he directs to Peter.
"But we're not planning on fighting any witch." Susan said making Amelia snap her head towards her.
"But surely, King Peter, the prophecy!" The fox said turning towards Peter, Amelia doing the same.
"We can't go to war without you." Mr. Beaver said towards Peter.
After a few moments of silence Peter says: "We just want our brother back."
Which makes Amelia look at him disappointed, she did want to save the Narnians, probably the protector side of me.
With Edmund
After the wolves left, the dwarf went led Edmund towards the dungeon where he put Edmund in chains and came back a few seconds later with a tray with moldy bread and a cup of water.
Edmund suddenly heard a cough from the corner of the room and turned around seeing a boy sitting there.
"Who are you?" Edmund said towards the boy but got answer from the other side of the room.
"He doesn't really talk, I don't know his name or how long he's been here." the creature said.
"He eats everything that he gets presented, I'm Mr. Tumnus by the way." he said. "Can I have that?" He said gesturing towards the bread.
"Of course." Edmund said and handed him the bread.
"You're Lucy Pevensie's brother." Mr. Tumnus said while eating the bread.
"I'm Edmund." Edmund said not feeling like a Pevensie right now.
"Yes. Yes, you have the same nose." Mr. Tumnus gesturing towards his own nose.
"I'm Blaine." The boy whispered barely audible making Edmund and Mr. Tumnus turn to him.
"Blaine Anderson, I've been here for 11 years." He said.
"Why are you here? Where are you from?" Edmund asked going closer to Blaine.
"I'm here because I was kidnapped, from Southville Primary School, I was five, my mom was expecting a baby, a little girl, I was going to be a brother. I never saw her. I fought the Witch after she told me I was the protector of the oldest King and Queen, I thought the Kings and Queens would come to save me, but after seven years I gave up fighting.
She bewitched me to make sure I stayed alive, I eat everything because I don't taste anything, I don't feel the cold, although I've been sick for 9 years I got hypothermia the third year I was here, after she bewitched me she just didn't come back." Blaine said looking up for the first time.
"So you're 16 years?" Edmund asked.
"Yes." Blaine said looking down again.
"Wait, what was your last name? Where did you come from?" Edmund asked.
"Anderson and Southville, why?" Blaine said.
"I have a friend named Amelia Anderson, she moved from Southville to Finchley. She's 10 now, just like me." Edmund said.
"My sister, she's here? Is she okay?" Blaine asked.
"I hope so." Edmund said and then hunched in on himself.
And then they heard a jingling and the Witch appeared in the door making everyone shoot back to their original places.
"My police tore that dam apart." The Witch said walking in.
"Your little family are nowhere to be found." The Witch said advancing on Edmund, she grabbed him by the collar.
"Where did they go?" She said close to his face.
"I don't know!" Edmund said scared.
"Then you're of no further use to me." She said throwing to him to the ground taking her wand and looking like she was going to spear Edmund.
"Wait! The beaver said something about Aslan!" Edmund yelled making Blaine and Mr. Tumnus turn their head to him in fear.
"Aslan? Where?" The Witch said as she lowered her wand.
"I..." Edmund started but Blaine interrupted him.
"How's he's supposed to know, Jadis, he just got here." Blaine said earing a slap from the witch.
"Like the boy said: He's a stranger here, he can't be expected to know anything." Mr. Tumnus said earning him an end of an axe to his head.
"I said...Where is Aslan?" The Witch said now that the obstacles were out of the way.
Looking to both Mr. Tumnus and Blaine, Edmund said: "I... I don't know. I left before they said anything."
Making the Witch look at Mr. Tumnus and Blaine who quickly lowered their eyes.
"I wanted to see you!" Edmund yelled leaning on his elbows.
"Guard!" The Witch yelled and an ogre entered saying: "Your majesty."
"Release the faun." The Witch said and the ogre dragged Mr. Tumnus towards the Witch.
"Do you know why you're here, faun?" The Witch asked Mr. Tumnus.
"Because I believe in a free Narnia." Mr. Tumnis said looking at the Witch.
"You're here...because he turned you in." The Witch said pointing with her wand towards Edmund.
"For sweeties." She said making Mr. Tumnus look at Edmund feeling betrayed, and Edmund looked down.
"Take him upstairs." The Witch said gesturing to Mr. Tumnus.
"And ready my sleigh Edmund misses his family." The Witch said and then turns and walks away, leaving Edmund and Blaine alone, and Edmund curled up into himself.
So this is the chapter. I'm really sorry for not updating.
Blaine Anderson doesn't belong to me, he belongs to Ryan Murphy.
Please review.
Until next time!
