Chapter 15: Aslan's camp
With Peter, Susan, Amelia and Lucy
After a few hours walking the snow finally began to melt and the temperature rose enough for the kids to shrug off their coats.
"It' beautiful." Amelia said to Lucy
"It is now the snow cleared out, it's real beauty is starting to show." Lucy said.
"That's really deep, Lu." Amelia said.
"Am, do you think that we'll reach Aslan's camp by nightfall?" Lucy asked.
"I hope so. I can't wait to sleep in some sort of bed." Amelia answered and grabbed Lucy's hand and walked on, both looking around
With Edmund and Blaine
As they reached the edge of the ravine, Ginarrbrik untied Blaine but held his dagger to his back and Edmund stepped along with the White Witch and his eyes widen at the drop and the river rushing beneath them.
"It's so warm out." Ginarrbrik said beginning to take off his coat – knowing that Blaine had no place to run – earning him a glare from the witch who dared him to continue taking off his coat, making Edmund and Blaine smile at each other.
"I'll go and check the sleigh." Ginarrbrik said walking away shrugging his coat back on.
"Your majesty. We found the traitor." A wolf said making the witch, Edmund and Blaine turn around.
"He was rallying your enemies near the Shuddering Woods." The wolf continued dropping the fox that helped Peter, Susan, Amelia and Lucy in the mids.
"Ah. How nice of you to drop in. You were so helpful to my wolves last night. Perhaps you can help me now." The witch said as the boys went to stand next to her.
"Forgive me, Your Majesty." The fox said bowing.
"Oh, don't waste my time with flattery." The witch snapped at the fox.
"Not to seem rude, but I wasn't actually talking to you." The fox said gesturing his head to Edmund, making his eyes widen, and Blaine look to Edmund.
'He's one of the Kings.' Blaine thought.
The witch took her wand and pointed it towards the fox asking: "Where are the humans headed?"
She pulled back her wand and wanted to thrust it forward to turn the fox to stone but Edmund quickly jumped between them despite Blaine trying to hold him back.
"Wait! No! Don't. The beaver said something about the Stone Table and that Aslan had an army there." Edmund said making Blaine look down shaking his head.
"An army?" The witch asked and nodded so Edmund moved out of the way, Edmund looked at the fox who sighed and looked down as well.
"Thank you, Edmund. I'm glad this creature go to see some honesty... before he died." The witch said thrusting it forward turning the fox to stone.
"No!" Edmund yelled earning him a slap to the face from the witch and then she grabbed his shoulder turning him to her.
"Think about whose side you're on, Edmund." She said.
"Mine." She said grabbing his face and turning it to the fox saying: "Or theirs." And then released his face, and he started crying, making Blaine wanting to go to Edmund but the witch held him back with her wand.
"Go on ahead. Gather the faithful. If it's a war Aslan wants, it's a war he shall get." The witch said turning a butterfly to stone at the end of the sentence.
With Peter, Susan, Amelia and Lucy
After walking a few more minutes Amelia and Lucy finally got a view of Aslan's camp.
"We made it."Amelia said smiling at Lucy.
Just as they came to the entrance of the camp a horn sounded and everyone's attention seemed to turn to the kids and the beavers.
Just as Peter, Susan and Amelia entered the camp Lucy stopped and turned around seeing dryads appear from the trees and wave at her, making Lucy smile and wave back and then quickly run back to the rest, forming a line.
Everyone in camp turned to look at the kids and the kids were kind of uncomfortable from all the attention they were getting.
"Why are they all staring at us?" Susan said while trying to smile.
"Maybe they think you look funny." Lucy answered making Peter and Amelia smile.
"Oi, stop your fussing. You look lovely." Mr. Beaver said as he saw his wife trying to get her fur right.
As they came up to the end of the camp and the one tent that was perched there, everyone that inhabited the camp gathered around the kids.
The kids were kind of nervous as they stepped into the circle and Peter took out his sword and held it up towards the centaur standing higher.
"We have come to see Aslan." Peter said thrusting his sword towards the centaur and the centaur turned his head towards the tent making the kids turn towards the tent.
And then suddenly everyone bowed and the kids turned wondering why they bowed.
But when Aslan finally came out of the tent the kids understood why they bowed, and quickly bowed as well.
"Welcome, Peter, Son of Adam." Aslan said and Peter looked up.
"Welcome, Susan and Lucy, Daughter of Eve." Aslan said making Susan and Lucy look up.
"Welcome, Amelia, protector of the young." Aslan said making Amelia look up as well.
"And welcome to you, Beavers. You have my thanks." Aslan said making the Beavers beam.
"But where is the fourth?" Aslan asked as the kids stood up again.
"That's why we're here, sir." Peter said. "We need your help."
"We had a little trouble along the way." Susan said making Amelia look down.
"Our brother's been captured by the White Witch." Peter said.
"Captured? How could this happen?" Aslan asked perplexed.
"He betrayed them, Your Majesty." Mr. Beaver said making everyone murmur and the kids look down.
"Then he has betrayed us all!" The centaur yelled.
"Peace, Oreius." Aslan said under a roar. "I'm sure there's an explanation."
"It's my fault, really." Peter said. "I was to hard on him."
"We all were." Susan said and the kids knew they she was right.
"Sir, he's our brother." Lucy whispered.
"I know, dear one. But that only makes the betrayal all the worse." Aslan said. "This may be harder than you think. Now everyone go back to their posts, make sure the king and queens are accommodated, I need to talk with the protector." Aslan said making Amelia look up at the lion in fright and she slowly walked towards the lion.
"Let's walk."Aslan said and led her away from the camp.
"You must understand that you are not to blame for Edmund's betrayal." Aslan said making Amelia feel a bit better.
"Thank you, sir, but that doesn't take away the guilt that came with his departure. I knew he felt like he didn't feel like he belonged and I should have done something about it." Amelia said.
"You did not know about your duty before you arrived in Narnia, you couldn't have helped him. Now to another matter, your brother." Aslan said.
"I don't know anything about a brother." Amelia said.
"Your brother was kidnapped from his school when your mother was pregnant with you. I was forced to close the gate to Narnia to make sure that the witch didn't kidnap anymore of you. He is with Edmund, they met, but I'm sure that you know that already." Aslan said.
"I do, I saw them in my dream." Amelia said.
"I promise you, Amelia. We will save them." Aslan said. "You should rejoin your family."
"They really have become that haven't they?" Amelia said.
"They have, dear one." Aslan said.
And Amelia returned to the camp and just as she was lead to the tent where the girls were and they just came out of the tent.
"You look gorgeous." Amelia said smiling and they went off.
"There are some for you too." Lucy said.
"We're going to the creek to wash up." Susan said.
"Okay, see you later." Amelia said walking in the tent and putting on the dress that where laid out of her.
"That is Cair Paravel, the castle of the four thrones." Aslan said as he came up behind Peter who was watching the castle in the distance.
"In one of which you will sit, Peter, as High King." Aslan continued. "You doubt the prophecy?"
"No. That's just it." Peter said looking down at his sword.
"Aslan, I'm not what you all think I am." Peter said looking at Aslan.
"Peter Pevensie, formerly of Finchley. Beaver also mentioned that you planned on turning him into a hat." Aslan said making Peter smile.
"Peter, there is a Deep Magic, more powerful than any of us, that rules over all of Narnia. It defines right from wrong, and governs all our destinies. Yours and mine." Aslan said.
"But I couldn't even protect my own family." Peter said.
"That's because that is not your job. It is of the protectors, who are just starting to realize their duties. I will do what I can to help your brother, but I need you to consider what I ask of you. I, too, want my family safe." Aslan said.
With Edmund and Blaine
When they arrived at the camp of the Witch the dwarfs tied both Edmund and Blaine to the same tree and gagged them quite tightly as the spell on Blaine had been letting up as the snow was melting.
"Is our little prince uncomfortable?" Ginarrbrik taunted Edmund.
"Does he want his pillow fluffed?" Ginarrbrik said as Edmund pulled away as Ginarrbrik came closer.
"Special treatment for the special boy!" Ginarrbrik said as he rounded the tree getting a glare from Blaine as he passed him.
"Isn't that what you wanted?" He said close to Edmund's face.
With Peter, Susan, Amelia and Lucy
"You look like Mum." Lucy said to Susan.
"Mum hasn't had a dress like this since before the war." Susan answered.
"We should bring her one back. A whole trunk full!" Lucy said smiling.
"If we ever get back." Susan said making the smile on Lucy's face falter.
"I'm sorry I'm like that. We used to have fun together, didn't we? Us and Amelia." Susan said.
"Yes. Before you got boring." Lucy laughed.
"Oh, really?" Susan said smiling as she splashed Lucy making Lucy splash her back until they decided that they were wet enough and then went for the towels.
But when Susan pulled away the towel they didn't expect two wolves to be standing there.
"Please don't try to run. We're tired and we prefer to kill you quickly." the wolf said and Susan saw her horn, throwing the towel at the wolf she stumbled for the horn and blew it before scrambling up in the tree, just high enough for the wolves not to reach them.
And suddenly Peter came running over the creek yelling: "Get back!" taking out his sword.
"Peter!" Lucy yells seeing her oldest brother.
"Come on. We've already been through this before. We both know you haven't got it in you." Maugrim said as he and the other wolf started to circle Peter.
"Peter! Watch out!" Susan yelled as she saw the second wolf go to Peter back and then suddenly Aslan came and pushed the second wolf to the ground and kept him there with his paw.
And Oreius, Amelia and other warriors came running after Aslan all with weapons drawn.
"No! Stay your weapons. This is Peter's battle." Aslan said making the warriors calm down and Amelia put her arrow away.
Then everyone's attention was turned to Peter and Maugrim again.
"You may think you're a king, but you're going to die...like a dog!" Maugrim yelled as he jumped Peter making the girls yell out.
As the girls dropped down from the tree they ran towards Peter and Amelia quickly broke loose from the warriors also running for Peter.
They all pushed together to get Maugrim off Peter, revealing a shaken Peter and a dead Maugrim.
For a few seconds the family just looked at each other but then they all launched into a hug just making sure that they were really there.
And only then did Aslan let the wolf go telling the warriors: "After him. He'll lead you to Edmund and Blaine." And with that the warriors took off.
"Peter. Clean your sword." Aslan said.
After Peter cleaned his sword on the grass Aslan beaconed Peter to him and told him to kneel sword in hand and pushed down softly on each of Peter's shoulders while the girls look with awe.
"Rise, Sir Peter Wolfs-Bane, Knight of Narnia" Aslan said and Peter stood up looking at the girls who smile at him proud of him.
With Edmund and Blaine
Sound all around them, and the only thing they wanted was something to eat. By now Ginarrbrik was holding his dagger at Edmund's throat permanently, making Edmund having to strain his head away from the dagger constantly.
Suddenly they heard a wolf coming and Edmund saw it being followed by a whole band of other creatures, not 5 seconds later they were released from their bounds and hauled up a centaur, running off to a place they did not know about.
After riding all through the night they arrived at a colored camp.
"Welcome to Aslan's camp." The centaur said.
With Peter, Susan, Amelia and Lucy
As Peter woke up in the morning and saw Oreius pass, he look at him hopefully, and Oreius gestured to cliff, where Aslan and Edmund were talking.
And then the girls came out of the tent and saw Edmund standing there and Amelia smiled, Lucy on the other hand couldn't hold her excitement and yelled: "Edmund!" wanting to run towards him being hold back by Amelia and Peter.
Hearing her yell Aslan and Edmund turned to her and then Edmund looked towards Aslan and then they both came down towards the family.
When Edmund reached the family there was a silence and then Aslan said: "What's done is done. There is no need to speak to Edmund about what is past. Amelia, a word."
Looking at Edmund she followed Aslan towards a tent.
"Your brother is rested here, he has been healed of his injuries, you can see him." Aslan said.
"Thank you, Aslan." Amelia said and pulled away the tent flap and saw a boy lying there, sleeping.
The boy had black hair, curls going everywhere and was tanned a lot more than Amelia herself, she couldn't see the color of his eyes as they were closed.
She hesitantly reached out and took his hand.
After a few minutes his eyes blinked open and he saw her sitting there.
"Amelia?" He guessed seeing the girl sitting there.
"Yes, it's me, Blaine right?" She asked.
"That's right, your so beautiful." Blaine said getting tears in his eyes.
"Why are you crying?" Amelia asked wiping his tears away.
"I thought I'd never see you, how are mum and dad." Blaine asked.
"Last time I saw mum she was fine, and dad went off to war." Amelia said.
"War?" Blaine asked.
"Yes, we're not at home at the moment we were staying with a professor in the countryside to make sure we're safe from the bombings." Amelia explained.
"Can I hug you?" Blaine asks sitting up slightly.
"Of course." Amelia said and they embraced both getting tears in eyes.
"You should get some rest and I should go see Edmund." Amelia said as she pushed her brother under the sheets.
"Okay, I am rather tired." Blaine said and closed his eyes as Amelia left the tent walking towards where the Pevensies were standing last.
"Edmund is in the boys tent." Peter said as he saw Amelia approaching.
"Thank you, Peter." Amelia said and walked on, pulling the tent flap away revealing Edmund laying on the bed.
"Hello, Eddie." Amelia said as she walked towards the bed.
"Hey." He said. "I'm so glad to see you."
"I'm glad to see you too. Why didn't you tell me how you felt?" Amelia asked.
"I guess that I wasn't thinking clearly." Edmund said.
"I know you weren't. I'll protect you from now on, I promise." Amelia said.
"You don't have to." Edmund said.
"It's my duty." Amelia said. "This on the other hand is not." She said and leaned in and pushed her lips to his, after a few minutes of shock Edmund pushed back and they were kissing.
"I love you, I've realized that when you were gone." Amelia said as she broke the kiss.
"I love you too." Edmund said smiling.
"Sleep." Amelia said walking away.
So that's that I hope you liked it.
I'll be back.
Please review!
Until next time !
