"Sight Unseen"

Ch. 5

(Narnia)

Audrey had transported herself right in the middle of the battle. Throwing balls of fire at every enemy soldier that she came across, clumsily. Needless to say she wasn't the most graceful in Narnia.

"I thought I told you to wait with Edmund!" Peter shouted at her.

"I'm immortal remember?" she shouted back to him.

One of Jadis' soldiers had cut a big gash across her stomach. Peter quickly slashed at him until he was down. He looked over to Audrey and saw that there was no sigh of the gash. Only a large cut on her dress where the wound had been.

Soon Jadis was in sight. The White Witch knocked her over easily. Peter had lunged for her with his sword held high. He and the White Witch's swords clanged loudly as they fought. The head wound Audrey had gotten from the fall had healed instantly.

She fumbled to get up. Jadis had knocked Peter down and stabbed him squarely in the chest. Distraught by the feeling, Audrey fell down to the ground. By this time the girls had arrived at the battle. With Aslan, Mr. Tumnus, and reinforcements behind them.

Audrey gasped loudly as the pain of Peter leaving her grew worse. She saw a blur go past her. Edmund had left this post on the cliff and ran to help his older brother. Despite his short time with a sword, Edmund did well for himself. He shattered Jadis' Ice Scepter. But Jadis' had used the jagged edge of the shattered scepter and stabbed him in the chest.

Audrey crawled to Peter. When she reached him, he had left completely. Aslan had jumped over them and landed on the White Witch. In one single motion, Audrey had taken him into her arms and lifted his limp body closer to her. She leaned down and their lips met. In doing so, they were engulfed in fire. Meanwhile Aslan let out a roar and Jadis was gone.

(Cair Paravel, Audrey's Room)

Audrey woke up to the sun shining on her face. When she sat up she noticed that Aslan sat on the floor at the foot of her bed.

"I was afraid that you would not waken," The Great Lion told her.

"How long have I been asleep?" she asked.

"Several days," he said to the 16 year old. "Food has been brought to you."

He turned his head to a table by the window. Her stomach rumbled as she turned her attention to it. Audrey hopped out of bed. Her knees wobbled when they touched the ground. Slowly, she made her way to the table and sat at a chair.

"You accessed a deeper magic than anyone has ever done before," Aslan spoke as she ate.

"You know what happened, then?" she asked him.

"I can only guess, dear one," Aslan said.

"Then what's your guess?" Audrey asked, shortly.

"You gave up you immortality to save Peter's life," the Great Lion told her gently. "That can only be done when the love between the two people are at it's truest. And the feelings must be the same for both,"

Aslan allowed her to finish her meal in silence, leaving her to her thoughts. She suddenly looked up from her plate and at Aslan.

"You told me it was a nightmare," she told him. "I had a nightmare, years ago, of you being sacrificed on the Stone Table. I couldn't make out if it was the White Witch or not. But it was, wasn't it? I had a vision that night. Not a nightmare."

"Indeed it was," Aslan replied calmly.

"You're leaving again, aren't you?" Audrey then asked.

"Things are as it should be in Narnia," he told her.

Aslan had stood up on all four legs and walked around to the other side of the table. He nudged at a scroll that was next to the candle and ink well on the desk.

"I have made you Advisor to the Kings and Queen's. They will need your guidance, as well as your loyalty and love in this time," Aslan said to her.

She nodded in response, tearfully. Audrey kneeled down to his level and hugged him tightly around his main.

(A/N: Yes this fic takes place after the film ends. In case anyone was wondering. I'm also busy writing Part 2 as well. I have no idea how I'm managing to keep these two parts separate from one another. It would be too easy to get them all jumbled up in a big ol' mess. Thanks for the reviews thus far. As well as adding me to your Favorite Authors list and Favorite Story list. Those are just as good, or even better than the reviews. That lets me know you want more. And believe me: more is coming!!)
