Chapter 11
Kathryn felt the warmth of the sun, and realized it was time to rise. But then she felt a blanket placed on her and wondered how did this blanket get on me? Kathryn stopped pondering, folded the blanket, and put it in her bag until she could find an owner for the blanket. Kathryn heard chatter and movement and moved towards the camp to assist.
Kathryn went down into the campsite, spotted Lucy and waved to her. Lucy smiled at her and waved back. Before Kathryn went down to meet her, she heard William say "Kitty"
Kathryn turned around and thought she would come face to face with her brother, but there was nothing. Kathryn stood there for a moment paralyzed, but came around when she heard Lucy shouting "Kitty! What's taking you so long?" Kathryn shook off what happened and walked to the campsite towards Lucy.
As Kathryn came, Lucy ran towards her and hugged her and asked "What happened up there?" Kathryn replied "Nothing happened Lucy, I'm just a little tired is all" Lucy smiled. "Do you need any assistance?" Kathryn asked. Lucy giggled "We're just about done" Kathryn then asked "Lucy, is this your blanket?" Lucy replied "Caspian went up to your sleeping place, and placed it on you last night, when you suddenly disappeared" Kathryn looked down.
Kathryn
Oh no. I can't face Caspian, every time I do, he tries something. I love him, but I can't because Susan's mad. What am I to do? I know I'll drop it off quickly, so he won't notice.
Normal
"Thanks Lucy" Kathryn said as she took off. Lucy looked at her strangely and grabbed her belongings and took off.
Kathryn looked around for Caspian's tent, but couldn't find it to any avail, until she saw Edmund. "Edmund, do you know where Caspian's tent is?" Edmund replied and pointed "Just go six tents down on the right side, and the big one is Caspian's tent" Kathryn replied "Thanks Edmund" Kathryn went down and saw Caspian's tent. Once Kathryn peeked inside, and saw no one there, she went inside towards the bed, and placed the blanket on Caspian's bed. Kathryn looked around for bit inside, until she heard Caspian's and Susan's voice. To escape discovery, Kathryn hid inside a wardrobe. Kathryn kept it open a crack to hear what was going on.
Caspian and Susan walked in. Caspian then smiled and said "You wanted to talk Susan" Susan replied sweetly "Yes. Caspian there is something I've been meaning to tell you" Caspian nodded his head. "I love you, I want to be with you, and I hope you want to be with me too" Kathryn felt a pang of jealousy and anger course through her mind.
Kathryn
Tears started coming out of Kathryn's eyes. I can't believe her. But Caspian please say yes, I need to have her friendship back, please, without her I'm nothing, but when I'm with you, I feel better.
Normal
Caspian went up to Susan and hugged her. Susan hugged him back and tried to kiss him, but Caspian pulled away.
Meanwhile, while Kathryn was in the wardrobe, and heard a voice. Kathryn also felt a breeze behind her. Kathryn turned around and went towards the breeze, and ended up near the ocean on the beach; Norwood Beach.
Kathryn
This is the beach William and I went to before he died. Kathryn felt prescience, and came face to face with William. "William!" Kathryn exclaimed. Kathryn stood there paralyzed in amazement that her brother was alive and staring at her.
Caspian and Susan
"I can't Susan" Susan looked surprised and shouted "What do you mean you can't?!" Caspian sighed "I do love you Susan, but not the way you want me to; I love you like a sister" Susan sighed "I'm sorry" Susan walked out while Caspian called her name. Caspian went and followed Susan.
Kathryn and William
William and Kathryn just stood there and stared at each other. Kathryn ran up to William and embraced him 'I can't believe you're alive" William looked at her and replied "I'm not" Kathryn looked in shock. William replied "I'm here to help you, you need to face the facts of how I died" Kathryn screamed "You could have came to me, instead of going to your gun!" William just stood there. "Why did you kill yourself?" William replied "Because I'm a murderer" Kathryn replied "I don't understand" William cried "I killed children, boys who were fifteen and younger. Boys who hardly had a chance to live! Boys who were barely men fought for a Hitler's crazy regime! If this was a price for being a hero, I wasn't going to. I coCouldn't handle it" Kathryn sobbed "I still need you, I'm all alone and I screwed up things between Susan and I" William went up to her and hugged her "I know I've been watching" Kathryn cried "It's all because I love Caspian" William chuckled "I know you do" Kathryn looked up at him and asked "How?" William laughed "I'm your brother after all, and you haven't come to terms with my exact death either" Kathryn replied "No, but now I have and I think I understand" William looked at her uncertainly and said "If you ever need anything, go to Aslan he'll help; my times up: now go!" Kathryn was shoved backwards.
Caspian's Tent
Caspian came back into his tent and sighed "What can I do, I love another" Caspian took off his shirt, and threw it on his bed. Caspian stood up with his closed until he heard a commotion come out of the wardrobe.
All of the sudden Kathryn came out of the wardrobe and landed with a thud. Caspian looked and saw Kathryn on the ground. Caspian walked towards Kathryn who was on the ground gazing at his chest.
Kathryn
Oh my goodness, look at that chest……I can't think like that. As he stepped closer, Kathryn's face began to turn red, and her heart began to race, each and every time, he got closer.
Caspian
Was she in here the entire time? Caspian pondered. Caspian looked at her in amazement, because her hair was down, and her hair was away from her face, which he liked.
Normal
Caspian smirked and asked what are you doing here Catalina? Kathryn sputtered and ran towards his bed, but Caspian teased her by blocking her way, but Kathryn made it pass him and him his blanket and said "I came here to return your blanket. Now: I must be on my way, so thanks for the blanket. Bye" Before she could leave; Caspian grabbed her arm and said "Oh no, you're not getting away from me again" Kathryn tried to leave, but she couldn't because he had his hard grip on her arm. Caspian then pulled her towards him, and turned her around, so she would face hi. Kathryn then proceeded to look down. But then Caspian put his finger under her chin and forced her to look up at him.
Kathryn
Kathryn then couldn't escape the trance of his deep coal black eyes, and couldn't look away. It's as if I'm drowning in him.
Caspian
Once he looked into her hazel blue eyes, with swirls of different colors. He was hypnotized.
Normal
Neither of them could take their eyes off each other; it was as if these two lovers could stare at each other forever. Both of them wanted to do nothing but kiss each other. But who would make the first move? Caspian did. In a mere second Caspian's lips made contact with Kathryn's lips, Kathryn tried to pull away, but Caspian had a tight grip open her, and wouldn't let go of her. Then Kathryn eased into the kiss, and kissed him back. Every thought of Susan, wasn't there at the moment. Caspian put his arm around Kathryn waist, and Kathryn wrapped her arms around Caspian, and the kiss deepened. Caspian's tongue asked Kathryn for permission, and she granted it to him. Caspian rubbed her back to ease her tension. These two could have kissed for a lifetime. Until Susan called "Caspian!" As soon as Kathryn heard, she hurried off quickly by sneaking out of the other side of the tent and disappeared.
Caspian
Why must she hide our love?
