I Lied,I'm such a dedicate writer. I managed to finish it just in time
Chapter 6
As Victoria entered the room, she saw Narnians all in different areas of the room. All were wearing the Narnian battle gear. Peter had his arm around her waist helping her limp to the stone table.
"I heard about your fight with Miraz." Victoria said quietly as she sat down, Peter doing the same beside her. "Please promise me you'll be careful." She asked him as one of the healers walked over to her; the healer began to bandage her swollen ankle.
He nodded a small smile across his face. "I promise I'll be fine Vic" she chuckled with a small frown across her face.
"Vic? You have a nickname for me?" she asked, the only person to ever call her that was Caspian.
"I wouldn't say it was a nickname, I guess I just shortened it." He shrugged. Victoria mentally hit herself; once again she had over thought it.
She looked down at her ankle that now sat bandaged "There's a horse out just a short distance into the forest, it will take you away from all of this. Out of harm" she sighed and looked up at him, her eyebrow raised.
"I'm not going anywhere Peter" she glared lightly at him.
"It's too dangerous here, you're injured. Your ankle is swollen and sprained. There is no way you are able to fight if it comes down it, which it most likely will." He told her as Edmund walked in giving Peter a short nod, this told them both that it was time for him to leave her and fight her uncle… to the death. She stood up the same time as him.
"Peter I'm fighting, I have a horse here. I will be with Caspian and the other Narnians I won't be on foot. It may hurt but not that much." She smiled, he sighed knowing he was not going to win.
"Fine" he said quietly before pulling her in for a hug which she returned, her head over his shoulder. Edmund smirked and chuckled at her now red cheeks.
"Be careful." She said as he left giving her a small nod. She watched as both him and Edmund exited the How, she turned to find a horse. Once she found the brown one she previously rode, she mounted it with the help of a faun.
She stood in the quiet quickly using a hair tie to pull her hair back into a pony tail and out of her face.
She heard fainting cheering for the first time; she was frustrated not knowing what was happening outside. She knew she was safer inside here but she hated not seeing everything and knowing everything that Peter, Caspian and Edmund knew. Suddenly the how shook repeatedly, her grip on the horses reins tightened making sure not to fall. Caspian suddenly rode in on his horse, Glenstorm at his side. He shouted and we all rode/ran to the cave area of the how, we were know underneath the field, as we started to get further into the cave, Caspian, began to counted quietly. As he stopped on ten. He shouted and Narnians began hitting the pillars knocking them over.
As the Telmarines ran over the parts of the cave with no pillars the field collapsed making many of the Telmarine soldiers fall into the pit. Victoria chuckled lightly and took a deep breath as the hatch lowed allowed them to ride onto the field and attack the Telmarines from behind. She closed her eyes and tightened her grip on the sword; she felt the wind pushing against her face and smirked, opening her eyes once more before riding straight into the crown of Telmarines swinging her sword around attacking any Telmarine that crossed paths with her.
She was pushed and hit by many of the Telmarines and one or twice got cut by a sharp sword causing her body to heat up in agony. She did not care of the pain at this moment. She could not say that she knew what the Narnians had experienced due to her kind. But she had her own anger against the Telmarines.
They took away Narnians freedom and caused her family great pain. Lost in her own world of war she flew off her horse, her horse had been hit by a Telmarine causing it to fall to the ground in pain. She hissed at the pain that shot through her ankle. As she stood up, between cutting down soldiers and even kicking them she saw more approach. These ones had more armour and even shields.
She winced seeing some of the birds that held dwarfs come crashing down, nobody would be able to survive the fall at such a speed, she ran back the how just as peter shouted. As she got to the fallen pillars the boulders made contact with the entrance making it collapse on top of fauns, Minotaur's and centaurs. She gasped as Susan fell landing onto a fall piece of the how only a short distance below her. She moved to stand beside Peter only to be joined by Caspian, Susan and Edmund only minutes later. They all looked out onto the Telmarines.
She changed her sword for two daggers, she spun cutting down Telmarines, keeping a close eye out Peter and Caspian. Even Edmund. Suddenly she felt a heavy impact of her stomach making her tumble backwards into the pit of Telmarine soldiers. Three soldiers turned to face her, all began attacking her. She killed two leaving her with one; he hit the one dagger from her hand and pulled her forward with her arm. She felt a strike of pain on the right side of her stomach. She looked down and saw his sword the coming out from her stomach. He quickly pulled it out causing her to fall to the floor with a whimper.
As Glozelle was pulled away from Caspian as he was about to kill him, Caspian looked over to see his sister lying on the floor, blood was seeping from the wound on her stomach. Caspian quickly ran to her side, tears ran down his sister's face from the pain but also from fear.
She was not ready to die; she had so much she still wanted to do. "Victoria." He stammered out, he pressed his hand to her wound trying to stop the bleeding she shook her head and pushed it away with weakness.
"Go." she murmured in a quiet, weak voice. "There's a battle to win. But can I ask two things." He nodded and she lifter her hand indicating for him to lean down so she was able to whisper in his ear.
"Please don't leave my body here, and two tell Peter that I love him and that I wish I had a chance to tell him before... Well this." She chuckled lightly, pain showed clearly through her face as she cried before using what little strength she had to push him away from her. She laid there looking up at the clear blue sky and how pretty it looked on such a vicious day. Black dots started to show through her tear filled eyes. She knew what was to come.
~~~~~~~~OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOO~~~~~~~~~~
Caspian stumbled out of the Pit, sadness and anger filling his body. He stood next to Peter as they watched the trees break the catapults into pieces. Peter looked down at Caspian's hands that were still covered in Victoria's blood. He looked at him curious as he saw no wound on the Prince's body; Caspian did not look back at the king. He knew he could not tell him just yet.
As the Telmarines retreated to the river, expecting to kill the Narnians there they followed behind. Stopping the same time as the Telmarines. They looked at Lucy who stood on her own in front of them. With a small smirk she pulled out her tiny dagger. Moments later the great lion- Aslan approach her and stood at her side. With this Sopespian made a loud cry and began to ride towards them both, Telmarines jumping in the water at the same time. They all stopped half way through their trek as Aslan let out a large roar. The water began to move.
As the Telmarines looked to their right they saw the water create a large figure, which was shaped as man. This water man leant down lifting the bridge that held only Lord Sopesian as the other Telmarines that jumped up to his face before smothering him in water.
The Narnians crossed the water and stood defence on the side of the river, confiscating any weapons the Telmarines still held in their possession. Peter, Susan, Caspian and Edmund all walked towards Aslan and Lucy Kneeling before the great Lion.
"rise kings and queens of Narnia" His voice deep, all rose except one… Caspian. The blood now washed off his hands from the trek through the water.
"All of you." Aslan continued urging the young boy to stand.
"I do not think I am ready." The prince stayed on his knees, not looking Aslan in the eyes.
"And for that reason, I know you are." He smiled at the boy that slowly, looking at the other kings and queens for a moment. Peter and Caspian moved to the side as the medium sized mice made their way between them all.
They placed the small gurney onto the floor with the two feet tall Reepicheep lying on top. Lucy quickly ran forward and knelt holding her cordial above his mouth and poured.
A moment later the mouse took a deep breath and opened his eyes "Oh, Thank you, your majesty" He said breathlessly as the other mice helped him stand. His eye widening at the sight of Aslan standing in front of him "Oh!" he exclaimed "Hail Aslan, It is a great honour to be-" He was cut off as he lost his balance while trying to bow to the lion. The mouse turned repeatedly trying to find his tail "I'm completely out of continence" he says shocked. He took a step back. His small hands behind is back "I must crave your indulgence for appearing in this unseemly fashion" He moved and stood at Lucy's feet looking up at her "Perhaps a drop more" he said almost pleading.
She looks at him guilty and shook her head "I don't think it does that." She shrugs her shoulders.
He shrugs with pleading eyes "you could have a go"
"It becomes you well small one" Aslan said to the mouse, which turned with a little bow.
"all the same, great king" he pulled out his sword "I regret, that I must withdraw, for the tail is the honour and glory of a mouse." He held his sword out
"Perhaps you think to must of your honour" The mouse took a step back
"Well-Well it's not just the honour; it's great for balance, and climbing and grabbing things." He quickly added.
"May it please your high majesty; we will not bear the shame." Peepiceek, Reepicheep second in command stood forward holding their sword to their tale. The other mice following in lead.
"Not for the sake of your dignity, but for the love of you people." Suddenly the mice stood in shock as Reepicheep tale grew.
"Look! Thank you my liege, I will treasure it always. From this day forward it will serve as great reminder of my huge humility." He placed his sword back into his belt
Aslan turned his head and looked at Lucy "Now, where is your little friend you told me so much about" with this they all turned to Trumpkin who lead Telmarines out of the water. Feeling eyes on his back Trumpkin turned before looking down as he walked towards Aslan and the others. And kneeled before the lion. Aslan let out a gigantic roar making his jump.
"Do you see him now?" Lucy asked smile on her face. Trumpkin looked up and took a deep breath smiling.
Caspian let out a huge gasp "Victoria!" he shouted as he ran through the river and through the forest. Peter, Susan and the others right behind him. He ran to the pit and quickly jumped down searching for her body. He found her in almost centre trying her hardest to take in sharp breaths.
Her eyes were closed and tears were still damp on her cheeks. Peter knelt on the one side and Caspian on the other. Susan, Edmund and Lucy at the top. Aslan stood above to pit but did not jump into it.
Lucy poured bits of the cordial into her mouth, Moments later her eyes still did not open. Lucy turned to Aslan "Why isn't it working?" she asked as tears began to roll.
"She is too far gone," he looked down in sadness.
Caspian shook his head repeatedly "No! She was breathing when I knelt down, Try it again! It will work, it has to work" He almost shouted, his voice shaking. Aslan shook his head and walked away. They all sat around Caspian's sister sobbing for their loss. Peter Held Lucy and Edmund hugged Susan as they cried. Caspian sat their holding Victoria's cold limp hand. Susan moved and hugged him and Edmund sat on the other side of Lucy.
A/N- Victoria's death, even though it was short. It was very hard to write. I didn't think I'd finish this in time to post it, But YAY! I did. For all those wondering. There is one more chapter in store
