Title: Dragonfly in Amber
Author: FaithfulPureLight (and her sister)
Disclaimer: I wish. I really do! But alas I do not and I am only borrowing them. (Looks over to her lawyer. "Was that good?" lawyer nods. "Yay! Ok on with the introductions and then the story!" sister cheers in the background. I pull out Edmund and Peter and my sister pulls out Lucy and that witch Susan. "We own u as soon as the documents are done remember that") again just kidding!
Rating: For reasons explained later I am rating this a M for mature
Summary: Lucy starts having nightmares that she can't remember. Soon Edmund and Peter are too. What could be so terrible that our heros would willingly forget a memory of Narnia?

Sorry its a little akward. We wrote this all tonight around 10pm. hope you like it.
Lucy's POV.
I'm supposed to be comforting Mum.
That's what the boys think I'm doing anyway. It's what I should be doing right now actually. But I'm not. I can't. She's in one of those moods where she pushes the hurtful things away pretending they don't exist. No one but father can reach her when she gets like this. Susan and I've tried many times.
I withdrew to my room. There's no use in being with mother when she's in that kind of mood. I would be welcomed back with my brothers; I know that. But I think they need some time to just the two of them. There are things that they went through in Narnia together that neither I nor Susan could hope to understand. I may be closer to my brothers then normal for any set of siblings, but even I can realize the two of them have something special together. Something that Susan and I shared once. Long ago in a world where Animals talk, where the four of us ruled with justice and compassion. Where our brother's were Kings and we were Queens. Where life seemed kinder, and Susan was my best friend.
I miss her. That old Susan; who would be here fixing the problem, not creating it. I miss her so much that it has become a constant ache. Sometimes the pain is searing. Sometimes it's no more then a throbbing that refuses to disappear. A constant reminder that things are and never will again be like they were in Narnia.
Like this entire mess. It shows Susan in a new light. But I can't believe that Susan would do that. How could she?! Doesn't she know what things like this do to Mum? To Dad? To Edmund and Peter? To me?
Does she even care anymore?
I suppose some would say that Susan wasn't trying to malicious. That informing someone slipped her mind because of a fun party. But even if it does sound silly, I can't help but feel like she betrayed me. Betrayed all of us. She didn't even give us a second thought. Didn't think we'd be worried...
Peter and Edmund are mad at her. I know that. But even though I acted mad, I'm not. I'm more hurt then anything. If this is what it feels like, when someone you loves leaves you, I'm never letting my brothers go. Ever.
I miss Susan. Miss her braiding my hair in the Cair and talking about matches that she doesn't want. I want the Susan who could make everyone comfortable around her. No matter how small or insignifagent they seemed. She made them important in the eyes of their Queen.
When Narnia gave us the names of Sword and Sheild and in my sister and my case, Jewel and Song, it seemed to fit each of us perfectly. She was the Jewel of Narnia. She had this brilliance about her that made everything come to life. But the light that surrounded her, made her even more beautiful has gone out. She only cares about outer beauty now. She is not the Jewel anymore.
I do not see the beloved sister I once knew. Instead, her delicate nature has been replace by cheap, gaudy baubles. And I don't know how to get her back.
