We were all sitting in the meeting area of How, things were tense, and the fact the there was an army outside wanting nothing more than our deaths didn't help. Edmund and I were sitting in a corner our hands clasped tightly. We had the idea of letting Lucy go into the woods to look for Aslan, but Trumpkin didn't like. He had become friends with Lucy and after the advents with the Witch and Nikabrik he was scarred.

It was decided that for a distraction, Peter would fight Miraz in single combat. I saw and felt his siblings tense up. Edmunds grip on my hand tightened. Peter wrote up the challenge and Edmund would deliver it. He was under the orders to make sure that Miraz said yes, and if Caspian was right them we needed to get ready.

I found Peter sitting in his armour on the stone table. Edmund had yet to come back. Slowly I moved to sit beside the older boy.

"You know, Peter I've always been a little jealous of you. Your family loves you; both your parents are alive and spoil you four to no end. And you have siblings that will do anything for you." He looks at me for a moment, and for the first time I got a real Peter Pevensie smile.

"I guess I haven't been the most welcoming or the most easiest to get on with." He replied.

"Well you were a bit big headed back in England, when I first met Edmund at boarding school; you were all he ever talked about, how you both had some much fun when you were staying with the professor. I'm going to guess that fun was here?"

"Narnia's Golden age, we were all so close back then." I slowly moved my hand out to rest on his shoulder.

"It can happen again, you just need to downsize your ego and admit you need help with some things. It isn't the fact that you were the oldest that made you High king, it was wanting the best of the others around you that made you High King Peter the Magnificent." I told him, he looked at me and laughed.

"Tell me Violet how old are you sixteen or thirty six?"

"Very funny Pete, my sides are splitting." I told him grinning.

"For the first time, I get why Ed like you." He sobered up. "Your good for him, I'm glad he's found someone like you." Aww he's adorable.

"You'll find someone just as good for you as I am for Ed." I replied. I held out my hand to him. "Truce?" I asked him, he took my hand.

"Welcome to the family Violet." He smiled.

"Peter?"

We turned to find Edmund standing a few feet away from us, smiling but only a little. "Pete he said yes."

Peter stiffened up, taken a deep breath he nodded and stood up, he looked at me.

"Thanks for that Violet."

"Any time, Peter." I told him, smiling; Ed looked at me with a raised eyebrow. Peter left to work out the plan with Caspian leaving Edmund and I alone.

"Do I want to know what that was about Kitten?" Edmund asked me half laughing.

I snorted and walked up to him wrapping my arms around his waist kissing the side of his neck.

"Nothing Ed, just Peter and I are finally getting along." I told him almost proud.

"Thank Aslan I don't think I could last if my brother and my girlfriend didn't like each other." I moved to look into Ed's eyes something was wrong.

"You're frightened aren't you?" I asked, pulling him over to where Peter and I had been sat moments ago. "Alright talk to me Edmund." I was met by a sigh.

"Yes Violet I'm scared. I don't want to watch something happen to Peter, or Lucy and Su. I'm frightened that something will happen to you. I don't want to see anyone I love get hurt."

So that's what's wrong.

"Nothing is going to happen Edmund, not to Lucy, Su, or Peter." I said.

"I'd feel better of I knew you weren't going to be in the battle Violet. Peter and I can fight we've been in things like this for years, it's second nature to us now, But you, I don't want to risk you getting hurt." Doesn't he know how to pull on your heart strings?

"And where would I go Edmund? I can't hid out in the How, I've seen their catapults, there aimed for the How, if I stayed here I would be trapped." I told him.

"Anywhere is better than here VI, I do not want you anywhere near what is going to happen." He replied to me. I looked at him and kissed on softly, my hands resting on either side of his face.

"I know you don't but what would you rather I do?"

"Go with Lucy and Susan. Find Aslan again, go anyway where but here, I'll give you a griffin, and you can see all of Narnia, just please do not stay here." He was begging now, taking both my hands in his.

"Ed I know you want me safe, but I cannot sit by and watch. But if it makes you feel better than I'll stay with the archers, but I cannot turn a blind eye to what is going to happen."

"I really wish you weren't so ready to fight, this will not be a fair fight the Telmarines will not go easy on you because you are a girl."

"You forget Ed, I come for Liverpool I can handle a few men in tights." I told him, he looked at me like I was crazy but he sighed and nodded his head.

"I really don't want you there Violet but I know that no matter what I say, you aren't going to change your mind. But I want you with me at all times, understand?"

I nodded at him and kissed his lips softly. In a weird way I could understand where he was coming from, and I was a little scared. Okay maybe very scared but, I wasn't going to let that happen. I like I said to Edmund, I come from Liverpool, the mugging and gang haven, second only to Manchester and Glasgow. I can handle of few men in tights with swords. I think.

It wasn't long before Peter came back and told Ed and me to get ready. I knew that this could be the very last time I ever saw Peter and I was upset, I could only imagine what pain Edmund was going through, Peter and him are close.

Before we walked out, I saw Peter and Edmund share a brief hug then they walked out. Myself not far behind them, looking out to the Narnians I could tell that they were scared, more than me.

They had the right to be, at the end of the day I would most likely end up back in the train station waiting to go to boarding school, along with the rest of the Pevensies. But these people, this is their home, they can't leave, and it would be like being in one of Hitler's Jew camps. I don't like that idea really. These people are not better then the Nazi.

I walked up to the platform with Edmund and Peter,

"Are you sure you want to be here Violet, this won't be nice." Peter said, looking at me, I looked back.

"Someone needs to keep Edmund from having a heart attack." I said back trying to lighten the mood; it must have worked because both brothers smiled. Peter pulled his helmet down to cover his face and walked forward. I felt my heart speed up, As Miraz and Peter circled each other, Edmund and I clasped hands, tightly. I think I could hear Ed's heart beat, or was that mine?

As the first part of the duel began Ed and I held out breaths. Sure Peter and I weren't close but, seeing this was pure horror.

I don't know how long the duel went on but Susan and Caspian arrived, Susan looking a little shocked.

The duelling pair called a break, I could tell Pete was in pain, and from the blow he took to his shoulder I don't blame him. I stayed close to Ed and got lost in my thoughts, mainly about everything that happened between now and a year ago when I met the Pevensies. I still remember it raining, and me leaving my jacket in my room, on the other side of school, meeting Ed under the stairs, taking with him till I dried off.

Meeting his family, getting to know them, some better than others, Ed Susan and Lucy telling me about their first time to Narnia, getting into that fight with Peter, not speaking to any of them for a week, ending up here, falling in love with my best friend. How many times has that one been used already?

I snapped out my thoughts when I heard Peter moan in pain, Ed and I shared a look.

"I think it's dislocated." Peter hissed through the pain. Ed and I shared a look. Ed moved forward to help with Peter's shoulder and I sat beside the elder brother.

Peter looked off into the rival army; I mentally prepared myself for that battle that would follow no matter the turn out.

"What Happens back home if you die here." Peter voice was strained, like he truly thought that he was going to die, I saw Ed freeze up at his older brothers words. Peter looked at his brother from over his shoulder, I moved away knowing this was a brotherly moment.

"You know you've always been there, and I never really. . ." Peter started only to be cut off by Edmund popping his shoulder back into place. I cringed at the sound of both Peter's shoulder and Peter's scream.

"Save it for later." Edmund said getting Peter's sword from, Caspian.

"Peter, if you die here, you'll most likely end up back in England, without even a scratch." I told him, holding his hand. I don't know who I was trying to convince, him or me.

"Thanks Vi." Peter said, before standing up.

Before I knew it, the pair was fighting again; Miraz seemed to be fuelled on pure hate. Peter just able to bloke the attacks, both fighters had refused to wear their helmets.

The rest of the duel was all a blur to me. I can't remember much, just the sounds of swords meeting swords, the grunt of pain and the sound of my heart. The only thing I know is that it ended up with Miraz on his knees, and Peter with a sword to the old man's neck. Edmund and I were met with Caspian; I was able to hear words between Miraz and Peter.

"What's wrong boy, to cowardly to take a life?" Miraz hissed. I'll kill him, I'll do the time.

"It's not mine to take." Peter hissed back before holding his sword out to Caspian. Damn it.

Caspian came forward and grabbed the sword, somewhere in all this Edmunds hand found mine. Somehow I knew that this was it. The big battle that everyone knew was coming. The last stand for the Narnians and I think Edmund knew it as well.

Caspian through his sword down and whispered something to Miraz and walked away.

The next few seconds was again a blur, all I know is that Miraz ended up dead. Stabbed in the back, with one of Susan's arrows, only it didn't come from Susan.

Where every Lucy was, I hope she found Aslan and I hoped they get here soon, I don't think we can hold these guys for every long. Even if they were just men in tights.

Okay so I know that the update was a little long in happening and I am sorry for that, but it's been a busy year, between raising Amanda (Kori, we call her by her middle name) who is now four and my twins who are nearly a year, and me going back to work, and Kevin starting his own business. So I am sorry for any problems I have been trying to update every chance I get.

I can't say when the next update will be, I wanted to be the first to say it, so my twin Isabella is getting married! To a great guy names Matt. We're going to be busy this year.

Anyway I hoped you liked the chapter and please give me a nice review, or don't review at all. Joking only joking, just review please!
