A/N: Here is Aslan's' Camp! Thank you all who reviewed and marked this story as favorite and story alert! It really made my day!! Now here is the next chapter of "The lion, the witches, and the wardrobe."….


Peter, Susan, Lucy and the beavers approached Aslan's camp. As they were heading towards the tent that the great Aslan would be staying, they began to be very curious about the many Narnian creatures, and to their surprise, the Narnian's were very interested in them as well… Approaching the tent, Peter noticed a Centaur standing on the cliff.

-"We have come to see Aslan and the Empress." Peter said drawing his sword and raising it into the air. The centaur only looked straight behind Peter. Peter turned his head too as did the others.

The Narnian crowd split in to half and bowed their heads… As the sun was right over them, the

Pevensie's could not make out the figure. The figure began moving towards them, putting a bounce in every step. The sliver cloak it wore slid smoothly on the grass. Once getting a better look at the figure, Peter's eyes widened, Susan gasped, and Lucy smiled brightly. Coming out of the Sunlight was the Empress…Veronica (Who will now be called 'Claire' in a short while…)

The Pevensie's along with the beavers knelt down before her. Veronica only smiled. There was something different about her. Perhaps it was the way her voice sounded so soothing and gentle or the way she held herself high…

-"Rise Prince and Princess of Narnia, and you too as well He and She beaver. You need not ever do that in my presence for I am not worthy of such kindness and honor." She said walking up the cliff.

-"Y-you're…the e-empress?" Peter asked surprised. She only nodded before kneeling down. The Narnian's as well knelt down. Following their example, the Pevensie's knelt as well.

In moment's time, a magnificent lion appeared before them. It was none other than Aslan himself…

Rising from their places, the lion spoke.

-"Welcome, Peter Son of Adam. Welcome, Susan and Lucy Daughters of Eve, and Welcome to you beavers, you have my thanks, but where is the fourth?" Aslan asked turning to Veronica. Veronica only looked down.

-"That's why we're here sir. We need your help… Our brother's been captured by the White-Witch." Peter said, his voice pleading for help.

-"Captured? How could this happen?" Aslan said once again turning to Veronica. She only dropped her head. Peter felt guilty, even though Aslan was not blaming her, Peter felt that she was taking his blame.

-"He-betrayed them, your majesty." Mr. Beaver said bringing the subject out of the dark.

-"Then he has betrayed us all!" the Centaur called 'Orieus' cried out. Veronica held her hand up.

-"Peace, Orieus," Aslan said in a low growl, "I'm sure there's an explanation for all of this." He said turning to Veronica.

-"I-well he…" Veronica fumbled trying to explain, but Peter had come to rescue her.

-"I was too hard on him." He said with sorrow. Susan looked to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

-"We all were." She said with care and compassion.

-"Sir, he's our brother." Lucy said in a sorrowful tone. Aslan looked at her with gentleness.

-"I know, dear one, but that makes the matter all the worse."

-"This may be harder than you think." Veronica said walking up to them. Aslan gave a nod,

-"We will do everything we can Peter, but understand, the future of Narnia rests on your courage," he said before turning to Veronica. She crouched down and received her message. Nodding that she understood, the lion went inside his tent. The Narnian's went back to their business and Orieus went to patrol the perimeter of the camp.

Veronica turned back to the Pevensie's and saw them staring at her with interest. She smiled before walking down to them.

-"I guess it's time for me to start explaining." She said gesturing them to follow. She walked quietly with them for some time until speaking, "I was…well still am sisters with Jadis." The Pevensie's looked at her with shock, "Yes, well, it was rather hard living with her. When Narnia was created, I arrived with Jadis from the world of Charn, which was completely dead at the time. Anyways, I arrived with Diggory, whose uncle had transported him to another land, where he found Narnia. During the first few minutes, we went to Aslan, we not meaning Jadis, for she fled at the sound of Aslan's roar." Veronica gave a laugh. " There, upon meeting him, I was given the title 'Empress' for I was what you call a 'Witch'. Oh, don't be troubled, I'm the witch of life and warmth, as Jadis is the witch of death and sorrow. We both keep the balance of Narnia. For she is evil, as I am good. Well, during the time of my reign my name was 'Claire' and still is as we speak. During my 30th birthday, I was transported to the 'Real world' by Aslan, and for good purpose. For you see, on the night of my birthday, as you call it, the tree of life withered and died. Therefore, the power it gave off to defend Narnia was lost. Using this as the time to strike, Jadis gathered a group of Narnian's to kill me. For I was the only hope left in Narnia to hold back her forces of evil. Little did I know she had another plan, for she used these creatures not to kill me but only be used as a diversion. Closing her trap, she attacked in the dead of night. In Charn, she had used a deadly spell to destroy everything in it. I stopped her in time before any harm could be done, but at a price. Aslan sent me to your world re-born, I was to come again only when Narnia was given hope so that I may re-cleanse Narnia of Jadis curse. In the real world, I lost all my memory. I also met Edmund after the 'accident'…" Peter quickly opened his mouth but was cut off "He's fine. Let not your heart be troubled, for I assure you he will not die. Jadis, I am afraid may be trying to get something else." She said coming up to two tents. "Susan and Lucy this is your tent, and Peter's yours and Edmund's is this one on the left. There should be a fresh pair of clothes for you, Peter I'll go get you some boots." Claire said but Peter cut her off,

-"I can get them, just show me where." He said smiling; she smiled back but shook her head,

-"Nay, It would be a great honor to find a pair of boots for his majesty." She said mockingly before leaving. Peter gave a chuckle before turning to Susan and Lucy. Susan had her arms crossed and was grinning. Lucy just smiled.

-"What?" he asked with a smile.

-"We love you," was all Lucy said before walking into the girls' tent.

-"I love you both also." Peter said before walking into his tent smiling.

-"Gwindol, may you make a pair of boots for his majesty Prince Peter?" Claire asked walking into the tent filled with armor. Gwindol was a middle-aged faun with much knowledge of the stars. He looked up, smiled and then bowed.

-"Of course you majesty, and what about his armor for battle?" he said grabbing some boots off the shelf. Claire sat on a stool and looked up with a smile.

-"I will get the measurements. What would I need?" she asked standing up taking the boots. Gwindol gave her the instructions, and walked with her out.

-"Do you really think Jadis will kill the second son of Adam?" he asked stopping her. Claire turned to him surprised at such a question.

-"No, of course not. I am certain though; she may try to kill two birds with one stone." Claire said in a bitter tone before giving her thanks and walking off towards Peters Tent...
