Chapter 16

Sophie

"Soph, come on wake up" I heard a voice saying to me the next morning.

"What time is it?" I asked, trying to wake up. I took a peak and I could see Edmund sitting on my bed.

"Around eight" I heard Edmund's voice saying.

"Get me later on it's too early" I said, burying my face in my pillow.

"Don't make me try and wake you up" he said.

"I'd like to see you try" I mumbled. Oh I wish I hadn't said those words. The next thing I knew, I felt a body on my bed and I felt someone tickling my sides.

"Ah, s-stop Edmund, w-what the hell?" I shrieked as I was now awake and I saw his face with a mischievous grin on his face as he tickled me.

"You said you want to see me try to wake you up" he said.

"Yeah but not like this! Ed, s-stop I can't take it" I said, laughing.

"Say uncle and I'll stop" he said.

"In your dreams" I said as he slowed the tickling down. He looked at me with love in his eyes as he kissed me on the lips. I sat up, returning the kiss as well. As soon as we pulled away, I saw that he was dressed in a dark blue shirt with a pair of black pants on and black boots while I was still in my clothes from last night.

"When did you get up?" I asked

"Awhile ago" he replied as he got off of me.

"Where's Lilly?"

"She was in here before. She got your outfit ready and just wanted you to be ready for breakfast" he replied.

I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom and washed up. I looked in the mirror and applied some eyeliner on me and I put my hair up in a ponytail. I saw that there was a dress hanging on the rack in the bathroom.

I tossed on some undergarments and I put on the dress. It was a white top that had a black bodice on and a dark green skirt that went down towards my ankles. It showed off my shoulders and a little bit of my cleavage but it wasn't too bad.

I walked out of the bathroom and Edmund almost dropped his jaw as soon as he saw me.

"What is it? Did my makeup get messed up?" I asked as I zipped up my boots. They looked more worn out than ever and I made a small note to myself to buy new boots at some point.

"No it's not that" he said. I looked at him weirdly before he pressed his lips on to mine.

"That's my good morning kiss to you" he said.

"And you couldn't do that when you gave me that wakeup call?" I asked with a half smile.

"Nope I just wanted to save that up until now" he said.

Edmund linked his hand with mine as we walked towards the dining hall. I couldn't help but have a nervous feeling inside my stomach. I'd just realized that no one knows about us just yet and I was afraid that we would have to hide it from them. Not only that I almost got killed but the fact that I'm dating their brother and friend I wouldn't know what they would think.

"What's wrong?" Edmund asked me as we were closer to the dining hall.

"What if they don't like us, you know…"

"Being together?"

"Yeah I don't know how else to put it" I said, turning away from him.

"Hey" he said, lifting my face so I can meet his eyes. "I'm sure Su and Lucy are going to be happy but then again, they had a hunch about it and Caspian wouldn't mind."

"But what about Peter?" I asked warily.

"Leave him to me" he replied. "Sophie, try not to worry too much."

"I'll try" I said. Edmund pressed his lips on to my forehead before we entered the dining hall. I took a deep breath and squeezed his hand tightly as we walked in.

"I'm glad you could make it you two" Susan said. "We missed you at dinner yesterday Sophie."

"Yeah and I do want to apologize for missing dinner" I said as I sat down.

"It's no worry" she said. "We understood how you were feeling."

I nodded as I grabbed some toast on my plate. I started to nibble on some of it since it was quiet for awhile.

"So Sophie, are you feeling alright after what happened?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah I guess I mean, I didn't mean for anyone to worry about me I had absolutely no idea what was happening in those woods" I said.

"If you don't mind me asking" Peter said.

"Peter now it's not a good time" Susan warned him.

"I just want to know what were you doing out in the woods in the first place" he said.

"No Su its okay he was bound to know and so were you guys" I said. "I was riding in the woods and I went back to the place where I first came here. I hoped that I would find my cell phone; which I did and I was coming back here."

"So you went out not only out for a ride but you were looking for your phone" Peter said.

"Yeah why is that a problem?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"Peter, maybe you should save the questions for later" Lucy said.

I gave Lucy a grateful look before I continued my breakfast while the others were making some small talk. I felt a squeeze on my hand as I looked over to my right saw Edmund giving me a small smile. I only gave him a half of smile and we finish breakfast along with some more small talk.

I picked up the book and held it with the other book in the library later that afternoon. Susan was with some other lady in waiting whoever they were called, Peter and Caspian went over to Calormen to work things out and Edmund and Lucy were somewhere in the castle.

I walked over to one of the armchairs and sat on one of them. I picked up one of the books and I started to flip the pages aimlessly before I stared out the window. It was a cloudy day outside and I hoped that the sun would at least come out sometime.

The pages stopped flipping as I landed on the section about Calormen. Oh the irony.

I curled up and started to read about them. As I was reading, I started to see why there were some problems with each other sort of speak. Calormen wanted to take over Narnia back in the Golden Age and they wanted to take over the countries that are surrounded by them.

Now I think the problem has gotten pretty bad now that they're capturing people in the woods left and right for unknown reasons. While I was lucky enough not to be taken away, I do feel bad for those who haven't been so lucky.

I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders as I was reading. "Hi Ed" I said.

"How did you know it was me?" he asked.

"For one thing, I don't think Caspian would do that to me and I'm not attracted to your brother" I said, looking up at him as he sat on the arm rest next to me.

"What are you reading?"

"About Calormen" I replied. "I do have the history of Narnia to read so I would know what happened and what not and also to be prepared in case something was to happen."

"I don't think nothing to extreme would happen" he said.

"How do you know that? In case you forgotten, I almost got caught and locked up" I said.

"You don't think I know that?" he snapped. I was taken aback by his tone. His eyes soften as he saw me cringe away a bit. "I'm sorry love."

"Don't worry about it" I said. I looked at him a bit closely and I could tell something else was bothering him. "Ed, don't tell me you're feeling guilty about what happened."

"If I was there, I would've prevented it from happening. I would've protected you but I didn't" he said. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it lightly like he did this morning in return.

"Edmund, you couldn't predict this. There was no way you could've known that it was going to happen" I said. "You can't blame yourself over my stupidity. I didn't even know and there was no way we could've predicted this was going to happen."

He looked over at me before he slid next to me on the armchair since it fitted both of us. "But I heard about it and I thought of you. Sophie, if you would've gotten hurt or worse, I wouldn't forgive myself."

I looked at him with a sad smile before I kissed him on the cheek lovingly. "Ed, I'm here. I'm safe and you guys came before any damage was done. You have to remember that and besides, I almost kicked his ass with a hurt arm" I said.

"I guess you're right. How did I ever get so lucky to have you?" he said, pulling me closer.

"I don't know but you're stuck with me" I said.

He smiled as he pressed his lips on to mine softly. I sighed as he deepened the kiss. I pulled away and looked at him before he held me close.

"Sometimes I don't know what I did to deserve you" I said.

I pulled him closer and we kissed for awhile before we pulled apart a bit. He looked in my eyes with such love and I couldn't help but push some of his hair out of his eyes. We continued to stare at each other for awhile as if no one was in the library.

"What's going on here?" a voice asked.

Well, almost no one.

We looked up and saw that Susan was standing there with an amused but shocked look on her face.

A/n: I'm so sorry I'm three days late in updating. This chapter was giving me such writer's block that I didn't know what to do! So I just made this into a filler. Don't worry; I'll get my groove back soon.

The King and the Surfer will be updated soon, I promise you! I'm still searching for what Sophie looks like.

Other than that, just let me know what you think of the chapter! Thank you so much for your patience and support! They mean a lot to me and I'll try and update as early as next week!

Signing out for now,
