"Kaity, wake up" I could feel someone shake me. "Kaity wake up" I recognized the voice. It was Peter.

I opened my eyes and saw the concern on his face. He offered my his hands to help me up.

"I'm sorry I must have dozed off" I apologetically said. It was light outside and the ocean glistened in the sun.

"What were you thinking? We were worried" Peter still had a hold of my hands, he was grasping them tightly. He was worried, he was worried about me.

"I'm sorry, I was just so tired. I couldn't sleep so I wanted to come to cair paravel. I knew it was destroyed but I didn't realize how much. How did it get like this Pete? It was so beautiful!" I started to cry and rested my head on his shoulder. I half expected his to hug me but he didn't. I wanted him so badly to wrap his arms around me, to pull my face into his and kiss me.

"We should be getting back kaity, the ball is starting at sun down and we don't have much more time" he broke away and tried to lead me to my horse but I wouldn't budge.

"Can we just sit here? Only for a minute?" I used to give him a look when I wanted something and he rarely said no. I was using that look just now.

"Only for a moment my queen" he grabbed my hand and led me back to the place where I fell asleep. We both sat down against the ruined castle walls. We stared out towards the ocean and watched the waves.

"You used to love going in the water with me. Remember when we jumped off the cliff and dove into the ocean?" I smiled at him hoping he would remember.

"You jumped first, you scared me half to death. I thought I had lost you" he turned and looked at me. "Then I jumped in to save you, but you didn't need saving, you don't ever need to be saved"

"Would you prefer me to be your damsel in distress?" I questioned.

Peter got up from his spot "I don't know what I want you to be right now" and he walked away from me.

I was speechless. I don't know what to say to make him care for me. I stand up and follow him to my horse, who was missing.

"He must have gone off while you were sleeping" I reached for Peters hand and he helped me up on his horse. We rode all the way back to the castle in silence. My hands were wrapped around his waist and I lay my head on his back just so I can hear his heartbeat. He didn't say anything to me about resting on him. He never used to mind it.

Susan and Lucy were waiting outside the castle, both were grinning from ear to ear. Campaign walked out of the castle and helped me down off peters horse. "Glad Peter found you my queen, you had us all worried".

"I fell asleep watching the ocean, it was so calming" I replied.

"Enough! We need to get you upstairs immediately if you want to look the least bit presentable! You are a queen" Lucy said with a bit of an attittude. She was growing up, hitting that teenager phase.

"Your filthy!" Susan proclaimed.

I didn't say anything I just let them lead me up the stairs towards my bed chanber. The gold dress Lucy had laid out for me was still there and again beside it was the necklace Peter had given me as a wedding present. "Lucy I can't wear that" I pointed at the necklace.

"But it's stunning, and it might bring back the good memories Peter has of you. We need you to bring him back kaity. I can't stand him anymore! He is so cruel and cold hearted" I stared at Lucy. Maybe she was right, maybe I should just wear the necklace, it was a gift and I should be able to wear it whenever I wanted.

"I don't know Lucy, I will think about it!" I started to undress and get ready.

I was forced to bath and dress in the most uncomfortable celebration dress, but then again they never were that comfortable. I was used to wearing these in the golden ages but now I couldn't stand it.

Lucy and Susan had already gone downstairs and I waited in my bed chamber. I stared at the necklace before deciding to put it on.

I raced down the palace steps as they were doing the introduction. As tradition I was to walk in with Peter, he was my husband and all. I walked down to meet him at his step. He stuck out his arm and I laced mine through his. "You look beautiful kaity" he didn't even look at me. I smiled to myself, my cheeks were ruby red.

"Introducing the high king and queen of Narnia! High king Peter and high queen Kathrynn!" Peter and I walked down the steps and through the door in the ballroom. I didn't know if he was smiling but I knew I was. I couldn't stop grinning. We walked around and greeted the majority of the guests as husband and wife. Everyone in telmar was at the celebration and staring at Peter and I.

In followed Edmund, Lucy and Susan, and behind her was caspian who was introduced as king. The look on the visitors faces were not happy. They had pure disgust in their eyes.

I remembered what Edmund had said and shook it off. They are friends and they wouldn't want to attack the new king.

The Kings and queens first had to do a celebratory dance. Peter and I danced along with Susan's and caspian, Lucy and trumpkin and Edmund with a beautiful dark featured telmar one girl.

I watched Susan and caspian spin around the dance floor. She was glowing, she was truly happy and in the moment I wish I felt what she felt. I looked at Peter who was also staring at Susan. "She is a very smart girl, you need to give her more credit" I said.

"She is only 15, I worry about her. What if he beds her and leaves her? What if she falls pregnant? And he breaks her heart? I've had my heart broken and I don't want her to feel the same pain" he looked directly into my eyes.

"You may think that all guys only think about bedding a girl but some stick around, you did. You never left me" I said.

"Yes but you left me. It's possible. I want her to be happy, but I don't want her to grow up" I could see the look on his face as he said this. He was realizing that she was growing up.

Tha dance had ended and we bowed to each other. Peter immediately went for the wine and I went to find Susan. "You look happy my dear".

She was smiling of course, staring at caspian as he walked around and greeted his guests "I am happy, kaity I think I'm in love! I know I'm in love!" She proclaimed.

"Just be careful, I wouldn't want to see you get hurt" she stared at me.

"You sound like Peter" she said and walked off to meet him. She grasped his hand and helped to greet his guests.

I spot Edmund alone across the room and go ask him to dance.

Peters POV

I watch kaity closely as she dances with Edmund. He spins her around and she laughs and smiles. She has a wonderful smile.

I have had too much wine, about four or five glasses already and I see him. "Grennig, good to see you here"

"It is good to see me here isn't it? I heard your queen went missing for awhile today?" He questions "wouldn't it be a shame if you couldn't ever find her? We are watching you Peter. We have a strong dislike for the Kings and queens of old. We don't approve of how much power you have over Caspian. Consider this your warning, do something to upset us and prepare to pay the consequences" I stare at him as he says this.

"You can't threaten me" I want to kill him. Strangle him with my bare hands. I'm red hot with anger.

"Watch me king Peter" he strode off towards kaity. I could see him talking to her, he asks her to dance and she says yes. I head for more wine...
