Disclaimer: I don't own anything Narnia related. I only own Karina, Freya, and the deplorable little prick Eris. I do however, wish I owned Ben Barnes, William Moseley, and Skandar Keynes (spell tha right?), I love them. Thank GOD I don't own them or you guyz would never see them in a Narnia movie again. LOL, just kidding.

A/N: I'm sorry for not updating fast enough! You dude's must hate me by now and my slacker-off-ed-ness (I just made that word up)

Snow Moon

You got me deeper than deep and I'm constantly blinded
I'm running around but there's no place to hide
I start to talk in my sleep, our souls have divided
Why can't they forgive me these demons inside
Deeper than deep and I'm constantly blinded
My heart starts to shiver for I was letting up
I start to talk in my sleep, cause our souls have divided
How can it be that you're ready for love? – Cascada "Ready for Love"

The shutters were closed, the doors bolted, the drawbridge secured, guards posted at every entrance and exit. Telmar castle was on lockdown.

"Peter?" Freya whispered, her soft voiced barely echoing through the hall. Slight footsteps were heard, "Freya?"

"Yes."

Peter breathed a sigh of relief as he rounded the bend and saw her. She was dressed in her nightgown, the sheer fabric leaving almost nothing to the imagination in the moonlight. Peter, being the perfect gentleman, kissed her hand;

"So, what is it you needed to talk to me about?" he asked.

She closed her eyes, "Something about Eris… I don't like her."

Peter chuckled, "Well I don't particularly like her either but-"

"No Peter," Freya interrupted, "She can't be trusted."

"Caspian I have something to tell you, I'm pregnant."

Karina looked into the mirror for the seventeenth time. She was practicing on how to spring the 'wonderful' news on Caspian. She turned back to the looking glass, "What's getting fatter by the moment and loves you very much? Give up… it's me! I'm preggers!"

Karina scrunched up her face, "Ew, that last one sounded creepy."

"What's creepy love?"

She stiffened at the sound of Caspian's strong voice. She was actually surprised he was awake, as it was quite late.

"Oh nothing." Karina sighed, placing her hands on her rapidly expanding belly. She turned to Caspian, who was lying on the bed looking quite spent and sleepy, "Cas, um… have you ever wanted to be a father?"

Caspian grunted, he was so sleepy! After that weird snake had tried to rip his jugular out the castle had been on lockdown. The army was on high alert and none of the royals were a loud outside. All and all, it was quite stressful. But still he answered his wife to appease her moods, which seemed to shift a lot as of late, "Someday…why do you ask?"

"No reason." Tell him! Tell him! Tell him!

"Alright then, I think I'm going to-"

"Caspian I'm pregnant!" She really had no intention of shouting it at him. And now he just sat there, his chocolate colored eyes widened with amazement, "You're what?"

Karina sighed, "Pregnant, preggers, a bun in the oven… you know…"

Caspian immediately jumped up to hug his wife. He lifted her into his arms, swinging her off her feet, "This is wonderful!"

True to form, Caspian informed the rest of the royal court of Karina's pregnancy. Everyone in the kingdom was happy for the young couple, but mostly happy to have an heir to the throne. It had been a week since the Witch's threat and nothing more had come.

"Perhaps it was a copycat?" Edmund had said during supper one night. But Peter wasn't so sure. How did the dwarf who delivered the message manage to get inside the castle in the first place? There were highly trained guards at every door and archers at the ready. Hell, the castle was lock tighter than a crab's ass! And still someone managed to get inside. Peter thought of Freya's warning about Eris. He contemplated her motives; she was already secure in her own royal status so she wouldn't have to worry if Peter keeled over and she hated the rest of his family. Those seemed to be clear motives to him. One particularly gloomy afternoon Peter decided to confront her about Freya's accusations. He wandered outside, hoping the little harpy might be doing her usual routine of trying to sing to birds, which she was failing at miserably.

Alas, there was no sign of life outside.

Peter trudged to the throne room, where his siblings, Karina, and Caspian were hearing about the village problems. He slumped in his throne; Susan shot him a look as if to say 'Please try to pay attention'. Peter doubted he could even keep his eyes open.

"Help!" Someone suddenly cried. Peter was now extremely interested. Two soldiers bearing the crest of Narnia limped forward. Their faces were caked in blood. Caspian leaned forward in his throne, "What happened?"

Susan motioned to a maid to fetch the two men water and medical assistance.

"We were ambushed in the forest."

Edmund scowled, "By whom?"

One of the men shivered, "They say she moves here and there, like a shadow in the night."

"Easy soldier, just tell us what happened." Peter said calmly. The man nodded, "We were making out daily round, ye see, and something attacked us near the tree line. It was clothed in white and with one glance turned our general to stone."

"The White Witch!" Lucy cried, inciting a few gasps and screams from the court. Caspian bit his lips, "Ready the troops, King Peter, King Edmund and I will head this operation personally."
