I apologize I am not the greatest writer!

It was gone. Cair Paravel, all of it. The castle, the gardens, the only thing left was ruins. I felt like crying. My garden, our garden was gone. The place where Peter and I had once gotten married, destroyed; by the Telmarines. One thing that I could never forgive Caspian for.

I had started following Aslan back towards the Telmarine castle but my ankle hurt so much I couldn't bare it anymore. Edmund pulled me up onto the horse that he was still riding. I rode with him in silence, almost in tears. Lucy, and Peter walking behind Aslan; behind them were Susan and Caspian. Then behind me and Edmund walked the soldiers, both Narnian and Telmarine.

After what felt like hours of riding we finally reached the castle. Caspian came over and helped me off the horse. He was strong and devilishly handsome. "How was your ride here?" he questioned. I looked up and around towards the sky. "Well Narnia certainly has changed in… wait how long has it been since we've been here last?" I looked at Peter hoping he would answer. He caught my glance but quickly looked away and made for the entrance of the castle. "Oh about eleven hundred years." Lucy laughed.

I still couldn't believe I was here! With Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter. It felt like a life time waiting to come back. Narnia was my home, and I was so happy to be back. We all were shown different rooms for each person. We all followed Caspian as Susan went into her room, Edmund went into his, and Lucy went into hers. It was just Caspian, Peter and I left into the halfway. Peter's Room was across the halfway from mine. "These are your rooms. Kaity I was hoping that maybe we could go for a walk tonight. I would love to hear about your days in Narnia during the Golden age." He asked. "I would like that Caspian. I need to get a wash before but maybe after diner?" "I'll be seeing you then."

Caspian walked off and left Peter and I in the hallway. I looked back in his direction, and he looked back into my eyes. "Pete…" I pleaded. He turned around and shut the door in my face. I just didn't understand! Why was he doing this? After fifteen years together he has shut me out of his life. I still love him, I don't know why he doesn't love me anymore. Tears were falling down my face as I entered my bedroom. It wasn't as luxurious as mine and Peter's room back at Cair Paravel but it wasn't bad either.

The bed was a lovely shade of dark red with gold trimming. The walls were a dark color, almost blackish gray, and the bed was made of maple wood. It was lovely. I took my concentration away from the bed chamber and back to Peter. I would try and talk to him. He would have to let me in eventually. I loved him and I was going to make sure he knew that.

A few hours had passed, and I had gotten myself cleaned up. We had all enjoyed a dinner with each other except for Peter. He had decided not to join us for dinner for some unknown reason. Caspian and I had excused ourselves away from dinner early so that we could start getting to know each other at a decent hour. "So Kaity… How did you get in Narnia? Edmund had said that you didn't come with them… to Narnia?" He questioned. "Yes, I came to Narnia almost two weeks before they did. I don't exactly remember how, it was almost sixteen years ago. As I recall… back at home… it was during the Second World War…" Caspian cut me off before I could finish. "What is the Second World War?" I didn't know how to answer this. In Narnia there were no guns, no extermination, not really any violence… well other then the Narnian Revolution we had just had. "Back in… our world, there was a war going on between… listen Caspian, If you want me to tell you about the Second World War I can. It's just that it will take hours, maybe days even to justify what was, or really is going on back home, in our world." "Alright, I wish to learn more about this… Second World War, later, if that is alright with you?" "Of course Caspian I would be delighted, however Peter or Edmund may know a bit more then I do. I can tell you all I know."

Caspian and I talked for hours about my journey into Narnia during the Golden Age. He was very inquisitive. We walked along the beach in the night as we talked more about the history during the Golden Age. "So you and Peter were married?" he asked. "Yes for fifteen years. We had waited a year after the battle against the white witch before we got married." "Why did you wait a whole year, Susan had told me about… the kiss during the battle. Weren't you in love? Why not marry sooner after the battle?" "I'm not sure. He wanted it that way. I turned out to be beautiful. Oh you should have been there! It was glorious, I remember it almost perfectly." "The picture Lucy drew… I saw it, it looked magical, really it did. Tell me, why is it that you and Peter haven't talked since you have been here?" "I'm not sure about that either Caspian. I've tried; when you showed us our rooms… he closed the door in my face. It really hurts." Tears started flowing from my eyes. I couldn't get them to stop. "I've waited so long to see him. To talk to him again, and he is so angry with me, I just don't understand Caspian! I haven't done anything, when we went through the wardrobe; I went back to where I came from! That's it. Caspian, please tell me why? Why is he doing this to me? Making me hurt so much inside…" Caspian embraced me into a hug. He was quite strong, and I realized now he was just as beautiful on the inside as the outside.

We broke apart. I was still crying, I was actually a mess. Caspian pushed back my brown hair from my face. "Kaity, I do not know why he is mad with you. As far as I understand it, you have not done anything wrong. Peter will come around, Susan says he will. She has noticed it to, we talked earlier this morning. I am always here… I consider you, Peter, Susan, Lucy and Edmund my family now. Since I have known you all, you have shown me more respect then my uncle Miraz has ever in my life. I didn't know my mother, and my father and I never really spent time together. Then he was murdered."

"Caspian, Kaity… I would like to have a word with the both of you." We heard Aslan's voice from a distance. "I would have wished to speak to Peter and Susan but they have gone to bed." "They have all gone to sleep? What time is it?" Asked Caspian. "It is late my son. Now tomorrow at high noon, I wish for you to gather everyone from the village and the kingdom to meet at the castle steps." He said to Caspian. "Of course Aslan I would be delighted. May I ask what for?" "Caspian you will know only when the time is right, but for right now I may not tell you why I ask you to do this. Kaity I wish to speak with you alone." "Of course Aslan, it would be my pleasure." I answered. "I shall be off then. Goodnight Kaity. Aslan." Caspian said. I stood and watched him walk off towards the castle.

The sky was dark and soon enough I couldn't see him anymore. It wasn't that he had gone into the castle, it was because the sky was as black as night. The moon was shining bright. It was the only light source tonight since there weren't many surrounding stars. Aslan and I were the only ones on the beach. Aslan was facing me but turned and started walking towards the forest about 2 miles ahead. It was hard to see but you could make out the green glow as the moon shone down towards the ground. Aslan had been walking for a minute and he was far ahead. I turned to walk towards him he started slowing down so I could catch up.

"Kaity, I think your time here in Narnia has run out. I believe that you have learned all you that you could learn from Narnia. It is time for you to go home, and once you return home, you won't be coming back." Aslan spoke in the way that he always does. He was a very logical lion, and I could understand why he was king of Narnia. "Oh, but Aslan! Don't I have a choice? Can't I choose to stay here in Narnia forever and never return back to my home? There are things there that I can't go back to! My mother only uses me, my father hates me, Foxley, when I left was about to rape me! I don't want to go home please don't make me go home! I know it is wrong for a queen to beg, but I just wish to stay!" I broke down into tears for the third time today. I wouldn't be able to live if I had to go home. Narnia was my home, and I didn't want to leave it. "Kaity, I do understand that back at home, your life isn't exactly easy. It can only get better I promise you, but if you wish to stay here in Narnia, I will allow it. However you can never return home even if you wanted to. I will give you the choice, but I want you to take the evening to think about your choice because the decision you make will shape your entire life." We had stopped walking. I threw arms around his neck and rested my face into his mane. It was soft just as I remembered it. "I will. I promise to think about both options." "Thank you Kaity. It has been a pleasure! I shall see you at high noon, I expect you to be there as well."

I turned to walk towards the castle. It was really dark outside and I could barely make out my way to the castle. It had taken me a couple minutes to realize where on the beach I was standing. I had started walking back to the castle and finally reached the entrance. The castle was nothing like Cair Paravel. It was all grey and dark colors. This castle wasn't as warm and happy as it was at Cair Paravel. I walked up to my bedchamber. As I was walking up the stairs I heard someone coming. I walked a little further to see who it was. It was Peter, he was leaving his room. He saw me and we locked eyes for a few moments. "Peter! Please talk to me before you rush back into your room!" I yelled at him. He had turned around to walk back into his room but stopped as I said this. "Kathrynn, what do you want? An apology? A kiss maybe? I miss you? Your not going to get anything from me! You don't deserve it. I loved you… I did, but now I don't know anymore." I couldn't say anything. I was crying… AGAIN! This time there was fair reason. Peter was telling me that he didn't love me, he didn't miss me. Why was he doing this? To hurt me, obviously, but why? Why had he changed his mind about us? I couldn't bear it anymore, I walked into my room and he watched me. He didn't care that I was crying. If Peter wanted it this way, then I was going to have to deal with it. I knew it would be hard, but I had to.

I fell onto my bed. It felt like hours of crying before I fell asleep.

"Kaity! Kaity wake up!" Lucy was shaking me. I opened my eyes a bit to watch what she was doing. She jumped off of my bed and went over to the closet. "Caspian sent me to wake you up, something about meeting down at the stairs at high noon. Which is very soon! You need to go have a bath, I will pick out a dress for you! Oh, I know how you should do your hair!" "Lucy slow down!" I exclaimed. "What time is it? I would like to get more sleep if I could." "Its about forty minutes to high noon. Caspian said to let you sleep but it will take forever to get you ready! All of Narnia… and the Telmarines will be there, looking at you! At everyone. GET UP!" She yelled. It finally dawned on me what time she said it was. "What? Its that time already?" I jumped up and ran into my bathroom. "Lucy, what was it you said you would do for me?" "I said… that I would get you your dress, and pick your jewelry and prepare to do your hair! Just hurry up and get washed!" I loved Lucy. She really was a caring person, and a really good sister.

I jumped into the bath and started washing my hair and my body. "Lucy where is Susan? Wouldn't it be easier for two people to get me ready then one?" "NO!" Lucy yelled. "Susan and I have very different styles. All we would do is fight over how to dress you. You never really did a good job at dressing yourself back then. No offence." I peeked around the corner to glare at her I was wrapped in a towel. "Oh come here, I don't care what you look like! We need to get you ready." I had just had the quickest bath I have ever had. Lucy did a really good job at picking out what I was going to wear. She had chosen a gold dress with blue embroidery. It was a corset, she said she always loved corsets on me; they made my waist look smaller apparently. After I got dressed Lucy sat me down and started fixing my hair. I must say she was quite rough. "Ow! Lu be careful! It hurts when you pull my hair like that!" "Oh shush. I'm trying my best to get you ready in time. We only have maybe to twenty minutes to get down there. We haven't even finished your hair!" I understood and didn't make a fuss about it anymore even though it did hurt a lot.

"Like I was saying… Aslan wanted to have a word with Peter and Susan. They left about an hour ago. There all done." She said. I got up to go look in a mirror, but Lucy pulled my hand towards the wardrobe where she had pulled my dress from. "Here when we first came back to Narnia I found this in the ruins at Cair Paravel." She handed me a gold necklace with sapphires and diamonds. Peter had given it to me. He told me that it was made of his favorite stones and he wanted the necklace to remind me of him. I held it in my hands as if it were made of glass, and would break if I dropped it. I couldn't wear this, I didn't need to think of Peter right now. "Lu, I'm sorry I can't wear this." My eyes swelled with tears. "Kaity, what is wrong? You have to wear this it is the only thing that goes perfectly with your dress, besides Peter gave you this!" "Lu that is exactly why I can't wear it. Pete… he doesn't love me anymore!" "What are you talking about? Of course Peter loves you why would you say such a thing!" Lucy was getting angry with me. I didn't mean to make her angry, I also didn't mean for her to hear anything about the conversation Peter and I had last night. I had to tell her now, or she would get suspicious and find out anyway. "Lu, Peter and I talked last night." Lucy got excited at the thought of this and smiled at me. "And? What did he say?" She was giggling. "He told me he didn't love me anymore." I said.

The smile faded from her face. She seemed almost angry. She looked down at the necklace and said "Well I think you should wear it anyways." "I would love to Lu, but I just can't right now. I'm really sorry. Please don't tell Peter about anything I've told you. He might get even angrier with me." I pleaded. "I won't but it doesn't mean that I won't be mean to Peter either. He shouldn't have said that! You know it's a lie Kaity." Lucy hugged me then she grabbed my hand and led me out the door towards the exit of the castle.

Lucy and I walked toward the stairs of the castle. Everyone was waiting there for us. "Sorry." Lucy whispered at Caspian, and he bent down and whispered "Its alright, what took you so long?" Later, Lucy mouthed. She turned to face her golden haired older brother and just glared at him. He looked at her and his smile fell from his face. He knew he was in trouble for something. I went and stood beside Edmund. "You look lovely." He said. I looked down at Edmund for I was taller then he was. "Thank you. You look dashing yourself. Remind me to dress you in that color the next time I have permission to pick your clothing." I laughed at Edmund as he rolled his eyes. Caspian looked around at the crowd of people both Telmarine and Narnian. He turned around and smiled at Susan, she smiled back. She looked lovely in the blue and beige dress she had on.

Caspian had given a speech, and had said that Aslan could return any of those who wish to return to their home place. Caspian's aunt, and nephew had chosen to return back to my world. The crowd grew wild as they disappeared into the tree that had opened up on Aslan's command. "Now I have given the Kings and Queens of Old and choice. I have asked the three oldest if they would like to stay in Narnia forever, or wish to return home forever. I have asked the three oldest, King Peter, Queen Susan, and High Queen Kathrynn because If they choose to return back to their world, they will never be allowed to return home." "Why have they done something wrong?" Lucy asked. She was shocked and sad. She looked as if she were going to cry but she was holding it together pretty well. "No, its just the opposite my dear. They have learned all they can learn here in Narnia. You and Edmund could leave our world and return to yours and still have a chance to come back to Narnia, but Susan, Peter, and Kathrynn cannot." Lucy tilted her head towards the ground. I could tell she was crying. If they left she would never be able to come back here with Susan or Peter, only Edmund. Narnia had brought them closer together, and If they couldn't all return together she was afraid it would tear them apart.

"My Kings and Queens, what have you each chosen? High Queen Kathrynn?" "I choose to stay. As I have said before Aslan there are things in my world I cannot return to, and do not wish to return to. I have left my world in a situation I would like to avoid but wouldn't have a choice to be in if I were to return home." Peter looked up at me concerned. I looked away from him. "Very well. Welcome back High Queen Kathrynn!" The crowd clapped and cheered, I smiled. I was home for good and was very pleased. "King Peter, Queen Susan? What have you discussed?" Susan answered. "We would like to stay, if it were alright with Edmund and Lucy of course!" Lucy looked up and smiled at Peter, and Susan. She ran and hugged Peter and he hugged her back. Edmund walked towards me and I hugged him. "Oh Edmund, how I've missed you!" "I'm glad you're staying too. I don't think I could survive another fifteen years without my best friend." Edmund and I walked over to stand beside Peter and Lucy. We all watched as Susan and Caspian stared at each other.

Caspian was first to move as he walked over to where Susan was standing. "I'm glad you're staying." Susan just smiled and looked down at her feet. She looked back up at him. "There were a lot of things I had to think of before staying here. Both good and bad." She smiled. "I hope that I had something to do with it, under the good qualities of Narnia I hope." "Of course you were." Susan wrapped her hands around Caspian's neck and pulled him into a kiss. It was passionate. It was like the kisses Peter and I used to share when we first fell in love.

Peter was angry and he started to move forward towards his sister Susan, who was kissing Caspian. I grabbed his arm and Edmund grabbed the other and pulled him back. "Pete, she isn't a little girl anymore. She is growing up, and she's in love with Caspian and I know you know that! He looks at her the way you used to look at me, and she looks at him the way I used to look at you…" Peter glared at me with disgust then yanked his arms out of mine and Edmunds grip. "Let go of me…" Peter stormed off the stairs towards the castle. Susan and Caspian broke apart to watch him storm off, then looked back at us for an explanation. We didn't have one.
