Chapter 2: Insomia
"Faster horsey" Edmund urged.
"My name is Philip" the horse mumbled.
"Sorry" Edmund replied sheepishly.
"Ed, are you tired? Come and get me." Peter teased while waving his hands at Edmund.
"I am not! You'll see for yourself when I beat you. Come on, Philip." They ran until the beaver had called them.
"The witch, she's back!" the beaver cried.
"What does she want?" Peter draws his sword quickly.
When they reached the camp they saw her outside aslan's tent.
Peter, Susan and Lucy hurried over to Aslan's tent. As for, Edmund he walk with Philip.
Edmunds P.O.V.
Deep within my thoughts I feel extremely uncomfortable. What might happen to me when I arrive? Everyone knows that I betrayed my family. Would they pass me to the witch hands? All these thoughts run through my mind until we reach Aslan's tent.
Inside my heart a voice is crying out that I am afraid, yet I stand firm like a tree during the heaviest storm .I wanted to cry, but not in front of the witch or either around my siblings; I can't let them pity me.
As she walks near me and demand her right of killing me on the stone table, Peter draws his sword at the witch and defends me. At that instant, everything I thought about Peter suddenly change. Before, I used to blame him for everything and tell him that he didn't need to protect me. Yet, now he is willing to put his own life on the line , just to keep me safe.
I was about to get the sword from a faun and stab the witch, when Aslan's eyes meet mine.
"This shall be done" he whispered and the next thing, that I knew he had left to speak with the witch.
"She has renounced the claim on the son of Adam" he exclaimed in a rather sad voice.
Though I am joyful and my heart has filled with happiness. I knew that something is wrong and I ignore but still it keeps my eyes open even the night.
I thought about what Aslan whispered and what he had meant, but could not think of anything?
In the middle of the night, I see his shadow walking alone and I think to perhaps follow him, while Peter sleeps soundly.
And then I wonder where would he go in the middle of the night?
