Chapter Two
Peter Pevensie exited the tent the following morning, and raised his eyes towards a hill. Aslan stood on top of the hill talking with none other than Edmund. Serenity walked up to him.
"You're brother is fine" She said softly. Lucy and Susan exited the tent as well and Lucy grinned when she spotted Edmund.
"EDMUND!" She cried loudly. Edmund turned to look at her. She made to go to him, but Serenity stopped her.
"Wait" She whispered. Edmund turned back to Aslan and the lion nodded. Aslan and Edmund descended the hill until they came to a stop in front of his siblings and Serenity.
"What's done is done. There is no reason to bring up the past with your brother" Aslan said firmly.
"Hello..." Edmund said awkwardly. Lucy flung her arms around him and so did Susan.
"How are you feeling?" Susan asked.
"I'm feeling kinda tired" Edmund replied.
"Get some rest..." Peter said. Edmund turned to enter the tent. "and Edmund..."Edmund turned to face his brother. Peter smirked. "try not to
wander off again" Edmund grinned and entered the tent.
At breakfast, they all sat down to eat. Serenity was wearing a silver gown and her crescent moon shone brightly.
"Where are you from, Serenity?" Peter asked.
"I am Princess of the Moon Kingdom" Serenity replied. The Pevensies looked surprised.
"There's no life on the Moon" Susan said, raising an eyebrow.
"You're right" Serenity said. "The Moon Kingdom was destroyed over 2000 years ago"
"If it was destroyed, how...?" Lucy began. Serenity looked down. Sensing that she didn't want to talk about it, Peter quickly changed the subject.
"You should pack some food for the journey" He told his siblings. Serenity looked at him in surprise.
"So we're going home?" Susan asked.
"You are" Peter said. "I promised I'd keep you three safe but there's no reason I can't stay and help" Lucy was quick to protest.
"but they need us...All four of us" She said.
"Lucy it's too dangerous. You almost drowned, Edmund was almost killed!" Peter said, voice strained.
"Which is why we have to stay" Edmund said quietly. They all turned to look at him. "I've seen what the White Witch can do and I've helped her do it, and we can't
leave these people behind to suffer for it" Serenity reached over and squeezed Edmund's hand, smiling.
"Well I guess that's it then" Susan said, standing up quickly.
"Where are you going?" Peter asked. She picked up her bow and quiver
"To get in some practice" She said smirking. She nodded at Lucy who stood to join her.
Susan and Lucy stood on the range practicing shooting at the target. Susan's arrow hit near the bulls eye. Lucy grinned and flung her dagger which hit the center of the bulls eye. Nearby, Serenity was teaching Edmund how to use a sword. He was a fast learner. Peter was taking lessons from Oreius. Suddenly, Mr and Mrs. Beaver came running and Edmund's horse reared up.
"Whoa horsey!" Edmund said. The horse snorted.
"My name is Philip" He snapped. Edmund frowned.
"Oh, sorry" He said quickly.
"you better come quick the White Witch has requested a meeting with Aslan..." Mr. Beaver told them. Edmund paled and Serenity grabbed him to keep him from falling off the horse.
"Everything will be okay" She whispered in his ear. "Aslan won't let anything happen to you" The Pevensie children and Serenity went to join the crowd that parted to let Jadis through. The Narnians hissed at her but she paid them no mind. Aslan stood at the center of the camp and Jadis walked towards him.
"You have a traitor in your midst, Aslan" She said coldly. Serenity gripped Edmund's hand.
"His offence was not against you" Aslan said calmly.
"Have you forgotten the Deep Magic?" Jadis asked. Aslan growled at her.
"Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written" He replied.
"Then you'll remember well that every traitor belongs to me" She pointed a finger at Edmund. "That boy will die on the Stone Table. As is tradition" Peter unsheathed his sword and held it towards her.
"Come and take him then" He said. Jadis smirked.
"You think that a simple threat will deny me my right, little king?" She mocked him and turned to the crowd. "Aslan knows that if I do not have blood as the law demands, all of Narnia will be overturned, and perish, in fire and water" Whispers ran through the crowd.
"Enough" Aslan growled. "I shall talk with you alone" Jadis and Aslan entered the tent.
Serenity sat on the grass with Edmund, who was extremely pale. She began singing a japanese lullaby to sooth the tension.
"Yoru wa ikutsu no koi wo tsukuru no
Nemuritsukenai kimagure tenshi
Aoi tsuki ukenagara anata e to utau no
Hoshi-tachi ga kureta oboetate no Melody
Koibito-tachi ni tada hitotsu
Yurusareta himitsu no kotoba
Sasayaita kuchibiru wa
Tokimeite hikaru ai no houseki
Over the Moon...kanjiteru
Kiseki wo okosu wa
Over the Moon nigirishimeteru chiisana kono te de
Sarigenaku hateshinaku eien wo agetai
Sen'oku no yoru wo kono mune ni atsumete
Koibito-tachi ni tada ichido
Yurusareta mahou no jikan
Dakara ima soba ni kite
Dakishimete atsuku kuruoshiku
Over the Moon...shinjiteru
Kiseki wo okosu wa
Over the Moon nigirishimeteru chiisana kono te de"
Lucy looked around and noticed that the atmosphere was much calmer.
"You have a lovely voice" She said. Serenity smiled.
"Thank you" She replied. The flap of the tent opened and Jadis stalked out. Aslan followed her.
"The Witch has denounced her claim on Edmund" He announced. The Narnians cheered and Lucy, Susan and Peter hugged their brother.
"How will I know your promise will be kept?" Jadis asked. The crowd quieted and Aslan roared loudly. Jadis left quickly and Aslan walked back into the tent. Serenity stared after him and was hit with a vision. She fell to the ground.
"Serenity are you all right?" Lucy asked, shaking her, but Serenity's eyes glazed over. Edmund placed a hand on her shoulder. Suddenly Serenity's eyes flashed and she stood up.
"I'm fine" She said. She turned and walked away, leaving the pevensies to stare after her.
