Author's Note: Sorry for not updating! Life happened and it made me very busy. Thank you to Kat Novata, JustYourAverageWitch, and meow139 for the reviews, alerts, and favorites. They always make my day. I decided to make this chapter from Edmund's point of view so you can see what he is thinking about this whole thing. Hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
Edmund POV
I cannot believe it. That little witch… ! She lied to me! I mean she did not really lie to me, but she did trick me. Running away from her mother indeed, I do not buy it for a second. This is some elaborate scheme to get into Cair Paravel and destroy us all. She is definitely beautiful, I will give her that. She is a redhead, so I never would have guessed her and Jadis were related. She is very clever, but she is not fooling me.
"Ed?" Peter asked tearing me from my inward monologue.
"What do you want Peter?" I asked and realized that he looked nervous. High King Peter the Magnificent does not get nervous. "You ok Pete? You look nervous." I said almost smiling.
"I am not an adequate sparring partner for our guest. She will end up destroying Lucy and Susan, so that leaves me with you." He said.
"Why would you think I would do this?" I asked.
"Because I thought that if you had to be around her, you would want to have a weapon with you to defend yourself." He said confidently.
"You are right," I said, "Ok, I will do it but that does not mean I have to like it. I will not give her special treatment, so go tell her that she is about get very soundly beaten." I said. This was going to be fun. Peter told her and she just stood there with this annoying smirk on her face.
"Do you think I cannot beat you Princess?" I asked.
"It will be fun to see you try." She said and we began. She was much better than I was expecting, but then again, she was trained by the White Witch herself. After about an hour, Peter called a draw and we both collapsed to the ground.
"Your mom trained you well, I see." I said.
"She did not train me, she was always busy. She got her soldiers to do it." She said.
"Ok then." I said.
"You did not do that bad yourself." She said and got up. She offered her hand to me, but I refused.
"I can do it Princess." I said.
"You know I have a name right?" She asked.
"Do you really expect me to care?" I asked.
"Not particularly, just checking. See you later?" She asked.
"See you tomorrow." I said and she walked away. After she left, Peter turned to me.
"Why do you hate her so much?" Peter asked.
"You know perfectly well why." I said.
"Do not blame her for her mother's mistakes." Peter said.
"She has not yet given me a reason not to hate her, so I am perfectly fine hating her." I said and he just shook his head.
"Dinner is in an hour. See you then." He said and then we walked to our separate rooms to get ready.
