Queen of His Heart

Fan Fiction-Hobbit/Chronicles of Narnia

I do now own the copyrights to the Hobbit; book or movie. Nor do I own any to the Chronicles of Narnia

A/N= 1) I got this idea off a You Tube video someone made. I figured I couldn't find a sequel to their video, so I am writing one here. 2) I also have messed with time frames and facts for the sake of the storyline, but remember this is FAN-FICTION nothing more.

Search

Ch. 8

The sun was blazing hot and so was John; who Edmund was trying to get through too. "I told you I'd hire someone to find them and I did. They have started the search." The man hissed into the phone.

"So, why aren't you out helping?!" The man bit back only to be told yelling into Edmund's ear wasn't going to help matters any.

"Besides, I heard from Susan and Peter within the past hour. They won't be much longer. Surely, you can calm down, come over here and join our search." Edmund's iron clad voice got Jean's brother to calm down saying he'd be right over. Standing up, Lucy's brother walked to the window and looked down yet again at the pictures his sister had drawn.

"Of course, it's Narnia, your son loves a good story. But what child doesn't?" Lucy had brushed off any questions in regards to the many pictures she'd started drawing.

"There's something right in front of my face and I'm missing it, but what?" Edmund picked up the picture looked yet again and about jumped out of his skin when it felt like a bolt of lightening had hit him. The dark-headed man in the corner! He wasn't from Narnia, and he certainly wasn't anyone he'd ever met. Wait, met no, been told about and seen yes.

"Where's Lucy?" Peter asked Susan and Edmund as they gathered for the first time since Lucy's high school graduation.

"No idea. I'll go look for her." Edmund had gone upstairs and searched everywhere having no luck, but when he'd turned to leave the room overlooking the back court his eye had caught sight of Lucy and a man he'd never met. They were close enough he could see them quite well. He wasn't surprised when Lucy laid her hand on his arm as she lead him into the house. However his mind about blew when the stranger had stepped into the light, turned Lucy around and kissed her with far more passion than he'd have imagined up to that point of his life.

"Hey, you are supposed to be looking for Lucy." Peter came in annoyed his brother was just standing there doing nothing.

"Lucy's right out there." Edmund had pointed only to get told not to be a smart mouth. When the younger of the two brothers was shocked when he turned back to see no one there; that is when Lucy had disappeared for two solid months.

"Where have you been, Lucy!" We've been worried sick. It was then she'd told him about Thorin, but he'd only been half-listening. And it was only now that it dawned on him she'd described the man in the picture to a tee.

"You told me years ago, and I wasn't listening very well was I?" Edmond groaned. "Wonder what the chances are we'll find you?" Voices downstairs let him know his siblings had arrived.

Men, women, and even a few young adults scanned the area surrounding Edmund's home. Every nook and cranny was overturned, every cave; small or big, which was found was searched. Edmund was not surprised at the lack of anyone finding anything, but the man's heart about jumped out of its skin when he heard one of the searches scream at the top of their lungs.

"What's wrong?!" Peter shouted repeatedly; his words echoing the ones Edmund was already shouting.

'No idea." Susan managed to keep up with her brothers, but her heavy breathing showed the woman wasn't quite in the good shape they were. "I'm half afraid to ask, or even look."

"Oh…." One searcher groaned and about threw up when they looked below. Jean's body had been discovered; and it wasn't a pretty sight.

"I think I'm going to be sick." Susan turned and leaned against a tree. Peter and Edmund hurried down the side of the hill.

Jean's body was not in one piece and blood was everywhere. "Peter." Edmund pointed to one of the legs which lay near the river bed "Look at that bone." He then pointed out the fact that that the one shoe which was with the woman was Diane's; not her normal high heeled shoe.

Peter instantly saw what his brother was looking at. "That's a claw mark." The mark had them baffled, and concerned; and the shoe seemed so out of place.

"It's not like any I've ever seen." One of the searches, who was used to looking at bones, spoke as he looked at the strange markings. "Best clear the area." The last thing the man was concerned about was what foot wear was around the place; he left that to Edmund and his brother.

"I agree, I think we'd best let the professionals take care of this…" John's friend spoke with a heavy heart as his eyes turned to Edmund and Peter, "For your sakes, I hope Diane and Lucy have fared better than this." He then excused himself saying John needed him; the poor man was having to be helped back up the hill.

"I'm sure the others are okay." Peter spoke to Edmund who seemed to have a distracted look to him.

"Yes, yes, I'm sure they are." Edmund managed to smile not daring to say what really had him worried. I think I'll walk home." He then left before anyone could stop him.
