Just as Peter arrived at the river his stomach leaped into his throat, he saw her hand above the water, sinking.

Chapter 4

Peter quickly threw off his coat and ran across the ice to the patch that Amy had fallen through, he didn't hear Susan screaming at him, luckily most of the ice was frozen solid and he dove into the frozen waters. Peter frantically looked around in the water until he found her. Luckily the river wasn't that deep and she hadn't sunk as much as he had thought she had. He quickly grabbed her from around her waist and pulled her up to the surface with him. Luckily just as he came out Lucy and Edmund had arrived with the sled. "Susan, help me get Amy out of the water." Susan nodded and helped to pull Amy out of the frozen water, once she was, Peter pushed himself up out of the water careful not slip back in. Peter and Susan carried Amy's unconscious body onto the sled where Peter proceeded to put his coat on top of her to at least give her some heat, Susan and Lucy quickly did the same and Edmund gave Peter his so they wouldn't have two people to worry about. The four of them ran as fast as they could back to the manor, Lucy and Edmund had alerted the professor and he had said he would call a doctor right away.

When they arrived at the manor all four children called to the professor, he came rushing down as well as Mrs. Mac Ready. "Amy, oh my dear child." Gasped the professor upon seeing Amy's cold form, her skin was as cold as ice and she had a small gash on her head. "Help me get her upstairs and out of these wet clothes, Peter you too, Mrs Mac Ready get a fire warm upstairs please, the doctor should be here shortly." Mrs Mac Ready nodded and ran upstairs to get a big fire going in Amy's room.

Peter had quickly stripped off his cold wet clothes and pulled on clean warm trousers and a warm shirt. Once he was dressed he ran to Amy's room to find the doctor already there and inspecting her. He watch as he ripped open Amy's shirt and did CPR to get her heart beating , breathing again. After a couple of tries he succeeded, She coughed and sputtered water. "hmm.." was all she said before she slipped back into unconsciousness. The doctor proceeded to remove the wet clothing, at this point Peter turned around. Once he was done he bandaged up her head wound, and left medicine by her bedside table. The Professor and Mrs Mac Ready proceeded to cover Amy's form in big warm blankets. Peter walked over to the doctor and asked what he had been wanting to ask for awhile now. "Is she going to be okay?" The doctor turned to him and looked at the professor. "Is this the boy who saved her?" the professor nodded "You were just in time, any longer in the water and I don't think that I could have done much. The head wound should heal within a few days it wasn't too serious, but she's slipped back into unconciousness and it's hard to tell when she will come out of it, it could be in three days or three weeks, it all depends, lets just hope that pneumonia doesn't set in. As for you, I think I should leave extra laudanum, in case the flu sets in with you. I suggest you get warm too and rest all of you could use it." Peter nodded and walked over to Amy's unconscious form. Her lips had lost its slightly blue tint and little bit of colour was returning to her skin. He only hoped that she would make it through, if she didn't….. he didn't even want to continue that train of thought it was just too painful. "Peter." The professor said softly. "You should get some rest."Peter nodded and took Amy's hand, it was still cold, he took the blankets and made sure that they were around her tightly. He ended up falling asleep on the chair by her bed.

Three days had passed and Amy was still in a coma. Edmund, Lucy, Susan and the professor all took turns on visiting her. Peter refused to leave her side, even when a mild case of the flu began to take over him. Colour had returned to her face and her once ice cold skin was now warm. The doctor had come in earlier and said that her head wound was healing nicely and that she appeared to be alright, also that she could wake up sometime soon.

Relief had flooded Peter in some way, but that voice in the back of his mind would not give him peace. It constantly reminded him of the fact that if she didn't awake soon she never would. Peter had drifted off to sleep, and the professor was checking in on Amy. As he tenderly moved the hair from her face, her lids began to squeeze tighter, and she stirred. The professor went over to where Peter was sitting and gently woke him up. The poor boy had been waiting for this, he deserved to be the first person she saw. Peter walked over to her bed and took her hand in his.

Slowly but surely her eyes fluttered open and she looked around her, until her emerald eyes focused on him. "Peter."

"Amy." Peter said smiling "We've been worried about you." She smiled at him and squeezed his hand. At that moment Lucy came running in the room. "Amy!" she flung herself at Amy as she said this. Amy hugged back with an "oof, hello Lucy." Lucy laughed, then her face became sad. "Are you ok Amy?" she asked. Amy smiled gently at her and nodded. "Thanks to you, you saved me Lucy." Lucy smiled shyly, "Peter helped."

"Of course, only dived in after you and hasn't left your side since, being as stubborn as he is." Susan said. They all kind of laughed at this, they spent the rest of the day talking to her and simply enjoying the fact that she was awake, until the professor declared that it was time for them all to get some rest. Before Peter left she called to him. "Peter." He walked back over to her and replied with a "yes"

"Thank you for saving my life." She said as she pulled him in for a hug.

He chuckled. "no problem, just promise me that in the future I won't have to save you, even though I always will." It was herturn to chuckle. "I promise, now go and get some sleep." Peter nodded and left her, to get some proper rest.

That was it hope you enjoyed it.
