It had been a couple of hours since we had all gathered at the steps. I had gone straight to my room to change out of the gold dress. It was a very pretty dress, but I didn't want to be in it anymore. I went and changed into a dark blue dress. It looked rather comfortable, but it wasn't when I put it on. I took it off and tried on the next dress, it was purple. It also was uncomfortable. I tried on the next dress, then a couple after that until I didn't have any dresses left in my closet. I had nothing to wear so I slipped the gold dress back on.
Earlier Susan had said something about almost everything we had owned being somewhere. I couldn't remember where, I would have to ask her to take me. After almost half a day of walking my leg had started to feel sore again. When I woke up it felt much better, but now it was dreadfully painful.
A knock came from the door, and I went to answer it. It was Susan. "Dinner is ready; we were wondering if you were going to come eat with us? Caspian has to talk to us about something. He won't tell me anything about it." She said. Susan was happy I could tell. All day she had been smiling non stop. Her voice showed how happy she was as well. It wasn't filled with sadness like it had when I first saw her in the forest. "I would be delighted."
We left my bedchamber and headed down to the dinning hall. "So, have you talked to Caspian since… well the kiss?" Susan's smile grew bigger as I asked her this. "Actually no. He has been busy talking with the lords. He said to me earlier that some of there intentions… well you know how Telmarines are." She giggled. "Su, I don't think I've ever seen you do something like that before. I mean it was romantic I must say, and it was awfully hard to keep Peter from strangling Caspian when he saw you two." "Speaking of Peter, have you talked to him since you've been back?" I looked down at my feet as we walked. I knew at some point she would ask me this question. It was Susan of course I had to tell her about what Peter had said last night, but truthfully I was scared to. "Yes. All I can say is that we are no longer husband and wife. He is very angry at me, as you have been able to tell." "Oh Kaity, don't be silly! He is just being stubborn you'll both talk and he'll realize that you two are meant to be." "Su, he said he didn't love me anymore. He also said I didn't deserve anything from him. He practically said that I was nothing to him." "What? Why would he say such a thing! Oh he is going to be in so much-" She was turning red in the face. She was still smiling of course, but her face was turning red. "Su, I don't want you to say anything to him please. He wants it this way, I'm just going to have to deal with it. I do love him Su, really but If I love him like I say I do, I will just have to let him go."
"You know he went to see you… twice, back in … you know, our world." I was shocked. Peter had tried to find me? "What?" I had stopped walking, and so did she. She turned around to face me and put both hands on my shoulders. "Yes. Once at your grandmother's house during the heat of the war, and the other… the day we left he skipped school and went to find you. We met him back at the train station and he had gotten into a fight. He hasn't been the same person since we left Narnia. With you Kaity, he was full of love, and caring. Now he is so cruel… to all of us. You change him for the better and there is nothing more I want then you with Peter. You'll always be my sister no matter what, but please don't give up on Peter." Her eyes started to swell with tears, and so had mine. I pulled Susan into a hug. "I love you Su." "I love you too."
Susan and I started back towards the dinning hall. We had finally reached it to see Caspian sitting at a table in the middle on one side, Lucy was on his left. Peter and Edmund weren't here yet. Susan went and sat beside Caspian on his right, and I took my seat across from him. A second later Edmund had come in through the doorway. "Is Peter joining us?" Caspian asked. "I don't think so. He is still upset about the … you know between you and Susan." Edmund replied. "You mean the kiss, Edmund?" Susan looked at Caspian and smiled, and he reached down and took her hand in his and placed it atop the table. "Yes, that." Edmund looked disgusted. It was rather funny.
The table had already been set with our food and everyone enjoyed it all. I didn't know what we were eating all I knew was it was quite delightful. "You know what we should have for desert?" Edmund took another sip from his fourth glass of wine. "Is it Turkish delight Edmund?" Lucy laughed. Edmund was drunk, and when he got like this back in the golden age it was always funny to watch him, and listen to what he says. "Is he always like this when he drinks wine?" Caspian leaned over and whispered to Susan. "Exactly! I would like some Turkish delight. Susan can you make some for me?" "Edmund, I can, and Caspian… Yes sometimes he gets even worse. We all think its funny, and he gets defensive when we laugh at him." Edmund didn't hear what Susan had just said which was probably for the best since Edmund could go on for hours ranting and raving as to why we shouldn't laugh at him.
"Now I wanted to talk to you all about a celebration ball. Some of my fathers old friends wish to come congratulate me, and meet the kings and queens of old. I have invited them to stay with us for a couple days as long as its okay with everyone?" "Of course its okay! Is there anyone my age I might be able to meet? Meeting new people is always fun!" Lucy asked. "Yes, they have three sons and a daughter. The youngest is a son and I believe he is about your age Lu." Caspian said. Lucy cheered to herself. "When are they coming?" Susan asked. "I'm hoping they will arrive tomorrow evening, if not then the morning after that. After they arrive, we can all plan to ball together. I would like Peter to help me. I would also like to have a word with Peter. He seems to be upset about something." "Caspian I'm not sure its best you do that now, wait a couple of days maybe." Lucy said.
Edmund had passed out in his seat and his glass full of wine had tipped over and spilled. "Oh I'll clean it up!" I said and I went to get something to clean it up where as Lucy helped to carry Edmund to his bed. He had kind of awoke and was stumbling as Lucy steadied him to get to his room.

Susan's POV
"Oh I'll clean it up!" Kaity said as she left the room. I watched as Lucy tried to help Edmund out of the dinning hall and up to his room. I turned around to look at Caspian when he wrapped his hand around my neck and pulled me into a kiss. God, he was delicious. I loved his accent, and I love the way he looked at me. He made me feel special, just kissing him gave me butterflies. My arms automatically threw themselves over shoulders as I pulled my body in closer to his. His hands moved from my neck down to my lower back. The kiss went from romantic to passionate and intense. We broke apart as Kaity was leaving the room. We hadn't noticed her come back from the pantry and clean up the wine which meant she had seen most of the kiss!
"Oh god Kaity, I'm sorry, you didn't exactly need to see that." I bowed her head in embarrassment. Caspian just looked at Kaity. Oh he was cute. He looked confused, I didn't know why? "It's alright. I remember everything you saw when Peter and I were married, and now I must apologize." Kaity said. She left the dining hall presumably to go to her bed chamber. I looked back at Caspian and he turned to look at me. We locked eyes, his brown eyes were exquisite. They should so many emotions. "You know I have been afraid to tell you how I feel about you since I met you. When I first saw you I thought you were the most beautiful person I have ever seen. No picture or statue does you any justice. I want you to know that every time I see you I want to be with you, kiss you, and hold you. Susan I think I love you. I think I have loved you since I've seen you. I need to know how you feel about me." Caspian asked Susan. She took his hands. "I feel the same way. Every time you look at me, the slightest touch. I have butterflies." "Butterflies… What do you mean my love?" "Caspian later I'll tell you but right now I want to kiss you."
I tangled my hands in his hair and kissed him. His hands travelled to my back as they slide further and further down towards by bottom. He pulled me in so close to his body that we both fell off his chair and onto the floor. We hadn't stopped kissing. "What are you doing?" It was Peter his voice said he was furious.

Peters POV
My stomach grumbled as I knew it would at some point. I hadn't eaten in a few days, I mean how could I? I just couldn't get that picture out of my head. That boy, his hands on Kaity. Watching his hands as they slid towards her waist. How could she! I loved her. I still love her but I can't let her know that now. We had been married for fifteen years, and she was with another man. I had cried for months knowing I probably wouldn't ever see her again once we left Narnia. I mean I tried.
She had told me she was taking care of her elderly grandmother during the war, while her mother was at home, and her father was at war. I went to her grandmother's house… It was destroyed, everything there was destroyed. I had found out where her mother lived and went to her house only to find Kaity with him. I love her, I need to be with her, but I blew it. I had told her yesterday night that I didn't love her anymore, and she seemed fine with it. While she had cried, but that's normal isn't it?
My stomach grumbled again and I knew it was time to go eat. I walked outside my room and I heard Kaity's door closing as I opened mine. I walked to it prepared to knock; prepared to tell her I love her that I wasn't in the right state of mind yesterday when I said those things. I pulled my hand up to the door in a fist… but I couldn't do it. I didn't knock. I lowered my hand and turned to walk to the kitchen.
Everything in this castle was bland. Barely any color. It was all grey and dark which set my mood even worse sometimes. Susan had confronted me not to long ago about how I have been acting. She said I had been stubborn, mean, and stupid. I didn't know this was how she felt. I didn't know that I had changed so much. I was mad at Susan, or really mad at myself for her and Caspian. I didn't want to see my little sister grow up. I knew what Kaity was saying when she said that they loved each other yesterday, I saw it too and its what I was scared of.
I didn't want my sister sleeping with him, and then he breaks her heart. It was bound to happen! He was a Telmarine, they didn't respect women. I was almost at the dining hall. You had to go through it in order to get to the kitchen. I heard a bang and ran to the dining hall to see what was going on. My heart stopped beating.
There lying on the floor was Caspian. Susan was on top of him. His hands were sliding down her back towards her bottom. They were kissing fiercely. All my anger boiled up at once. I was red I could feel it. "What are you doing?" I yelled. I walked over to Susan and grabbed her by the arm. "Su! Do you know how inappropriate that is, especially in public. I don't want either of you near each other again. I can't trust either of you! Susan what were you thinking? Your normally the logical one of the family but right now your being really stupid, especially being with him! He is a Telmarine!" I yelled. I had her by the arm and was walking her towards the door. "Peter let go of me! Peter!" She screamed. I knew I was hurting her but I didn't care. Caspian rushed over to the both of us and push me away from Susan. That really set me off. I shoved him back as hard as I could. He fell backwards on his ass.
"Peter! What are you doing?" She screamed. I bent down ready to punch Caspian square in the face. Susan was crying hysterically. She grabbed my shoulder and tried to pull my backwards. Luckily she was successful. I backed off right before I punched Caspian. "Peter! You need to calm down! You're sweating profusely, and your beat red." Susan yelled at me. She was still crying. "Don't I have the right to be angry? I just saw my baby sister on top of a Telmarine bastard." I pointed at Caspian. "AAAAAHHHH. How dare you call me a bastard! Caspian rode to his feet and was about to shove me until Susan got in between us. "Both of you stop it! Please. Peter I'm sorry. That was a bit inappropriate I realize that but you don't need to be so harsh. Caspian and I love each other." She pleaded. "You don't know anything about love! You only met you can't possibly know what love is like I do! What you feel for Caspian is a crush, and what he feels for you is called hormones. He wants to bed you Su, that's it." I said to her, my voice was still raised. I don't think it will ever be calm again.
"That is not true! I love her. With all my heart since the moment I saw her. You- you who has felt love before are going to prevent this? Your going to stop your sister from being happy like you were once. She will turn out just like you if you stop her!" Caspian was angry. I could tell that now. "Turn out like me? I seem pretty fine! If anything I would want Susan to be like me so she could see just what your doing with her!" "Caspian, dear I would like to have a word with my brother privately." "Alright I will leave, but this is not over! I cannot have you believing that what I feel for Susan is only my desire for sex because it is not." Susan smile and walked over to hug Caspian. I tried to grab her arm but she was out of my reach. They broke apart from the hug but Caspian still held her. "Good night my love." He said looking down into her eyes. "Leave." I pointed to the door. He did as he was told and left.
"Pete…" She came over and hugged me and I hugged her back. I rested my head on top of hers. "Su, you only know I want what's best for you and I'm scared. I don't want you to get your heart broken like I did." She pushed away from me. "Peter. I love him and I know he does. I know you don't trust him or me anymore, but he does." "Su, I know that's what you think, but you have to be careful. I'm sorry for what I said earlier, about being stupid, and not knowing what love feels like." I said. I was ready to cry I just wanted her to be happy. Even if that meant being with Caspian. "I love you. You're my brother and I know your just trying to protect me but I'm fifteen, I'm older now and I know how to tae care of myself. I want you to take care of me yes, but not all the time." A couple tears rolled out of my eyes and I looked towards the door. "Oh Pete! Please don't cry. I know how you're feeling. I know you still love her! Why did you tell her that you didn't?" I looked down at her shocked. How did she know about this? Kaity… "How do you know about that? Did she tell you?" I asked her. All at once the anger rushed back to my face. "Pete, don't get mad. Yes she told me because I asked her if you two have talked." I couldn't handle this I couldn't believe she had told Susan, she knew that Susan would talk to me about it. This was her way of getting me back… It wasn't going to work. I was so angry that I walked away from Susan. "Peter. Where are you going? Don't do anything rash."
I was speed walking towards her room. I was going to confront her. I couldn't believe what she had done. I was finally at her door and started banging on it. There was no answer. I knocked even louder this time and she answered. She was wearing a night dress that fell above her knees. She looked stunning in the gold color it was. She looked lovely in most colors. However when she wore gold, and red it made me go crazy with lust for her. "Where do you get off telling Susan what we talked about?" She rubbed her eyes. "Peter its late… wait how do you know I told Susan? She said something didn't she… I told her not to. Peter I'm sorry that's not what I meant for her to do!" "I'm sure it's not. Kathrynn I don't want to be near you anymore! You make me sick." She started to cry. Watching the tears drop from her hazel eyes broke my heart. What was I doing? "Peter, you know I don't like it when you call me Kathrynn… please don't do this. I still love you!" "It doesn't matter what you feel anymore. I don't care about you. I don't think I ever will again." I turned around and went into my room. I closed the door. I had just hurt the person I loved. I don't know why I do it, but I did. I will never let myself live that down.
