Chapter 18

Sophie

We made it back after we rode in the woods. We were getting the horses settled in when I saw that the sun was almost halfway up in the sky. I could smell the flowers from the gardens and the smell of the stables as we got off the horses and they were led inside. I stared up at the sky and saw that the sun out bright as ever for an afternoon.

Edmund and I headed back towards the castle and by the time we got in, we were greeted by a dryad who wanted Edmund to attend some matters. I could tell he felt bad leaving me since we had plans but if he had to attend some things then that's what he had to do.

"Go on, Ed, I'll grab an apple or something" I said.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure and besides, I got some reading to do" I replied. I stood up on my toes to kiss him on the lips. When I started to leave, I felt a tug on my wrist and I looked behind me and saw Edmund pulling me into another kiss. We then parted ways when I headed upstairs and he went somewhere in the castle.

I got to my room and flopped on the bed. I grabbed one of the books and my IPOD and plugged the headphones in my ears. I put my IPOD on shuffle as I started to glance at the words on the pages as I read.

As I was reading, I let my mind wander off as I listened to the music that's playing in my headphones. I glanced at the book as I was reading. I marked the page as I closed the book and looked up at the ceiling. I played with my IPOD and browsed through some videos I remember making with Jane and a few of our friends. Well, it was more of my friends than hers since they didn't like her that much but was civil to one another.

I found a video of the four of us dancing around to Girls Just want to have Fun by Cyndi Lauper. I remembered that day and I don't think I've ever laughed that hard in my life.

I mean don't get me wrong I do miss my friends, but being here I guess made me want to stay now. I mean, I hope I get to stay or something. I wasn't sure.

A sly smile was on my face as I scrolled through the songs. If I was going to somehow make myself occupied then so be it. I tossed the book on the nightstand as I found the song.

The next thing I knew, I was singing to Girls Just Want to have fun badly.

I come home; in the middle of the night
my mother said when you're going to live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun.

I got off the bed and started to dance a little at first which then led to me dancing like an idiot.

The phone rings; in the middle of the night
my father yells what you're going to do with your life?
Oh Daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls just want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have.

That all they really want
Some fun
When the work day is done
Girls- they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun.

I danced around the room more lively as I was listening to the song. For some weird unknown reason, I don't know where the energy came from but I didn't mind it. My hair fell out of its bun and it went in front of my hair. I couldn't believe that it grew almost past my shoulders. I noticed in the mirror reflection my door opened a little bit. I probably left it open and didn't even realized it.

"Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her from the rest of the world" I sang out loud horribly. "I want to be that walks in the sun oh girls just want to have fun."

I spun around and screamed a little when I slipped on the floor. To my shock, Lucy and Susan were standing by the doorway, laughing as I paused my IPOD and took out my headphones.

"I'm glad you liked my show" I said sarcastically.

"Sorry we were walking past here when we heard you singing" Susan said, calming down.

"Yeah I um, got distracted" I said. I fixed my hair a bit as I stood in my place.

"I see" Lucy said.

"So were you going to tell?"

"Tell what?" Lucy asked. If Susan wants to know, then Lucy is going to know also.

"Might as well let you know on how Edmund and I got together" I replied. I sat on the bed as I told the girls what happened after I almost got caught by the guards or whoever they were. I told them from the time I went up to my room to the time me and Ed were on the beach, practically yelling at each other up to the part when I had a small breakdown up to where out of nowhere he kissed me and our confession to one another.

"Wow" they said as I was done.

"And that's how it happened" I said.

"No wonder he was in your room last night" Lucy said.

"Yeah and I'm sorry about that. I thought it was some messenger or something" I said.

"No worries" she said.

"So what's going on with you two now that you're courting?" Susan asked.

"Courting what?" I asked confusingly.

"Courting you know…"

"Oh you mean dating?" I asked. I had no idea that dating even had another word. Then again, I wasn't around here so I wouldn't know.

"We're taking slowly seeing how things are well, you know" I replied.

"Yes I could tell he really cares for you since he first saw you."

"Yeah I mean whenever I'm around him now as cheesy and corny as it sounds, it's like a whole different feeling now" I said.

"Have you ever been with another man?" Susan asked.

"Well no I did get kissed" I replied.

"By who?" Lucy asked.

"Some guy named Dylan. He kissed me and then I got in trouble for it" I replied.

"Why?"

"Because after he did that, I punched him in the face" I replied sheepishly.

"Sophie that's un lady like. Why would you hit someone?" Susan chided.

"He did it on a dare I have a good reason plus I was seven" I said.

"Would it be hard to just walk away?"

"No cause he shouldn't have done it in the first place. Besides, he was a horrible kisser anyways" I said. We started laughing at that point. I don't know why but hey, I had a good reason for it.

We left my room and decided to head out in the gardens until we ran into a centaur. He told us that Susan and Lucy were wanted in the study and that Peter and Caspian returned. I was about to venture out in the gardens when I was told I was wanted as well. I looked at Susan and Lucy who shrugged as they had no idea what was going on.

This was a first.

We headed up towards the second floor and in the study when we walked in a heated discussion. I saw Peter sitting at the desk while Edmund was standing by the window and Caspian was neat the desk. I could tell that whatever it was going on, it wasn't good from the look on their faces.

"What happened?" Susan asked. She and Lucy walked forward while I stood by the doorway awkwardly with my arms over my chest. Edmund saw me and walked over and pulling me into the room and stood next to me almost protectively wrapping arm around my waist.

What the hell is going on?

"Caspian and I found out about that Calormen still wants to take over Narnia" Peter said.

"What?"

"Yep and apparently Tisorc isn't making it easy" Caspian said.

"But what does he want that's he's making his people go in the woods and capturing people?" Lucy asked.

"Something and he thinks we have it but we've told him we don't and unless he gets it, then he won't stop taking people" Caspian replied.

"But what could he want so bad that he's willing to take the people of Narnia?" Susan asked.

"I don't know. There's something he wants that's hiding somewhere in the woods and from what I was told, in order to have it, someone must access it and give it to them" Peter replied.

Something in my body was telling me something wasn't right. I couldn't tell what and I was scared to know and I didn't want to ask. I saw Peter staring in my direction with a worried expression and I noticed that everyone else had the same look and Edmund's grip on me got tighter.

"T-They want me? That's why I almost got taken away yesterday?" I asked softly.

"I'm so sorry Sophie" Peter said.

Well that's just freaking great.

A/n: Dun, dun, dun! Wonder what's going to happen next? You need to find out by sticking around. Come on, you think I was going to give it away? I don't think so. Unless I accidentally reveal something then yeah.

I had to add Sophie dancing around like an idiot and singing by herself. I would've done the same thing and I bet you guys would've done it also. Next chapter Sophie encounters something that sends her chills.

Don't forget to review! They make me happy and you guys rock with your reviews, alerts etc. Thanks for your patience and support yet again!
