"So, here it goes," Edmund said with a rather large book in his hands. "Jadis will return when the fourth winter falls. A Daughter of Eve will defeat her lest Narnia be enslaved forever," he read aloud.

"That doesn't rhyme," Peter pointed out.

"Well that's not the point, Peter."

"Then what does that mean? 'When the fourth winter falls'?"

"I think it means that the four winter of our rule. Which is this winter."

"And Jadis will return. The White Witch is coming back and Cassie has to defeat her or all of Narnia will be enslaved by her forever," Peter said with a grim expression. "How long until winter starts?" he asked his brother.

"A month. Exactly," Edmund replied.

"That's not very long," he said pointing out the obvious. "She'll have to start training as soon as possible." Edmund nodded and walked out of the meeting. The Council then began to argue loudly. Grabbing their attention Peter said, "I know that was a lot to hear. You have to understand I'm taking all the necssecsary steps to help our newest hero out. Although I cannot do my job with the constant meetings you call. Until I am ready there will be no other meetings." An uproar followed this announcement but Peter simply walked out. I am done being pushed around by these people. No more. he thought as he walked down the hallway to his bedroom.

Opening the door to his bedroom he found his wife fast asleep on the floor by the fire with a book lying next to her. He smiled to himself as he tip-toed over to her, careful not to wake her. Gently picking her up, he brought her to the bed and set her down. After he douced the lamps he climed into bed next to Kaylee and fell asleep before his head could hit the pillow.

Edmund dashed out of the Council meeting and to Cassie's room. He kncoked loudly on the door until she answered. "What's got you so worked up?"

"I figured out why you're here," he rushed. She ushered him into her room and as he began telling her that she had to defeat the White Witch when she returned.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Who the heck is the White Witch?" Edmund quickly explained who she was and what she had done. "So," she said slowly, "I have to kill this psycho Witch chick who like ruled Narnia for a hundred years. She's coming back in a month and I have to be the one to stop her." The boy nodded. "No pressure right." She sat in silence for a moment then said, " I can't do this. I just can't. I cannot save a country. I can barley save myself from getting beat up at lunch! How the hell am I supposed to save all of you? I'm sorry. I just-" she shook her head and ran out of the room.

Edmund followed her while yelling "Cassie! Cassie! Cassie, please just listen to me."

"What else could you possible tell me that would help me change my mind?" Cassie screamed. It echoed in the high-ceilinged corridor.

"I know that you must be scared. I was too when I found out. It terrified me out of my mind to know that we had to save a country."

"That is so not helping." Seeing Cassie getting ready to turn and walk away, Edmund grabbed her wrist and spun her around.

"The point is that Aslan knows what he is doing. He obviously brought you here and knew that you could do what he intened. He wouldn't have brought you here if he thought you would fail." Cassie began shaking her head again so Edmund said, "We can't bring her down without you. If you back out, we'll all die." He stared at her with big brown puppy dog eyes.

"Oh, you're going to use the puppy dog face and guilt trip, huh?" She looked at him again. "I can't say no to that. When does my training start?" Edmund smiled and Cassie felt a flutter in her stomach at the sight of it.

"Tomorrow is my guess," Edmund replied.

"Will you be teaching me?" she offered. Oh, my God, why did I just say that? she thought. Suddenly she became aware of Edmund's hand still on her wrist. Obviouly he noticed it too because after she said this he pulled his hand away.

Edmund cleared his throat out of surprise. "Well, I-I don't really know. I, um, I guess I could talk to Peter if you really wanted me to," Edmund stuttered, trying to hold back his blush.

"That would, um, be nice," Cassie said looking down.

"Okay, so I'll do that. Um, so I guess Good night."

"Yeah, 'Night Edmund."

"Good night Cassie." Cassie turned to walk back towards her room and bite her lip trying to decide whether or not to do something. Whirling around she gave a quick hug. Both felt a surge of attraction go throughout their bodies.

"Sorry. I didn't know if that was-"

"No. That's okay. It's fine," Edmund smiled. Cassie smiled back and turned to go back to her room for the second time that night and this time no one stopped her.

Edmund watched as she briskly walked back to her room pondering the possibility that Kaylee was right.

"Edmund! Edmund! Wake up! Wake up!" Lucy shouted as she jumped on her older brother's bed.

"What? What? What?" Edmund said, annoyed at his little sister.

Lucy looked excited as she exclaimed, "Aslan's back! And he wants to talk to you! Come on! Come on! You have to get up!"

Edmund groaned. The last time Aslan wanted to talk to him was when he scolded him after being resued from the White Witch. Well, he didn't really scold him. He had asked what had happened and told Edmund it was wrong what he did but he didn't blame him. Aslan had a way of being understanding but stern as well. Edmund didn't understand it. However he did not want to keep the Great Lion waiting.

Edmund slowly walked into the room where Aslan lay waiting. "King Edmund, Son of Adam. I have some things I wish to discuss with you," he announced.

"I kind of figured that." Aslan chuckled with his deep voice reverberating off the walls. "What do you need to talk to me about?"

"About the prophecy you found. It was indeed the right one," the Lion confirmed.

"And Cassie is the Daughter of Eve." It wasn't really a question but Alsan nodded anyway. "So what is there to talk about?"

"There is a part of the prophecy that was not printed."

"Really?" Edmund said suddenly interested. "Well, what is it?"

"Peace to Narnia Eve's Daughter brings, while holding the heart of one of the Kings," he recited from memory.

"Well, the first part I get but what does the second part mean?" Edmund said nervously.

"One of the Kings of Narnia will fall in love with her and I have reason to believe that the King is you."
