Fan Fiction-Hobbit/Chronicles of Narnia
I do not 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.
More answers ooo sort of
Ch. 12
Edmund attempted to sit at his desk and work. Unfortunately, his mind was only concerned about Diane and Lucy. How could it not be? After Jean's body …the thought still made him shudder…just as he tossed his pencil down a knock came on the study door.
"Come in." Edmund was instantly on his feet when he saw what Peter was carrying.
"Isn't that Diane's coat?" The younger sibling hurried around his desk and took the jacket from Peter.
"Yes, it was found folded neatly on a stone chair near the edge of a very deep raven. I just called the law and they're on the way over. But Edmund...can't see you see the odd part in all of this?"
"What? Besides it being extremely dirty?" Edmund could see nothing strange until Peter pointed out that was the odd part.
"Think, Edmund think!" Peter practically thumped his brother on the forehead. "What is odd in all of this?" It took a bit but finally the light turned on in Edmund's brain.
"Diane never wears that dirty of clothes and if something is? She'd wash it not fold it neatly on a smooth rock waiting for someone else to do it." Was it time to mention the picture to Peter? Sighing he handed back the coat his older sibling.
"Okay, Edmund, I know that sigh. What do you know? What have you been holding back?" Peter watched his sibling walk to his desk, pick up a piece of paper and then took it when Edmund handed him it.
"Lucy's picture of Narnia? Really?" Peter lifted an eyebrow but was stopped from saying more when his brother pointed to the man in the picture.
"Recognize him?" Of course Peter said no. "His name is Thorin and he's not from Narnia."
"Well, duh, he's too tall to be a Narnian Dwarf." Peter was shocked when Edmund scowled something under his breath and then spoke through clenched teeth.
"I saw that man ten years ago kissing Lucy. You came into the room not even thirty seconds later and both were gone. She was missing for a solid two months." Edmund let what he was saying sink in.
"So, why tell me he's not from Narnia? We should be on the look out for this guy if…" Peter was stunned even more than the first time as Edmund slapped him across the face.
"For crying out loud, Peter, do I have to spell things out for you!" Clearly he did because Peter just sat there. So, Edmund told him everything about what Lucy had told him; including repeating what he'd seen and pointing to the paper.
"Are you saying she actually found a real door to another world? And so did the other women?" Peter rolled his eyes and told his brother the stress was getting to him. "We'll find her."
"No, you won't. Neither one of them unless they choose to come back." It was Peter's turn to scowl as he insisted Edmund go on the search with him, Susan, and the others.
English winds blew damply as the group yet again scoured the hillside. Hour by hour, minute by minute, they repeated the process which had found Jean's body and Diane's coat. Edmund looked with the rest, but with no heart. Even if Peter didn't believe him and thought it all to be stress his brother was convinced other wise.
"Edmund, I told you before I'm married." Lucy had snapped the third time he'd tried to push marriage onto her with a friend.
"To who?" Edmund had growled back.
"I told you, Thorin."
" I thought you'd flipped, sis. I thought you'd married in secret but he'd died and you couldn't face that fact." He whispered low, "Over the years I forgot that conversation; though how I'll never know. You refused to date, your eyes were empty and you seldom smiled. I should have known you were telling the truth."
The sun began to set and the search was called off. Everyone left the fields, hills and dells knowing there was nothing more that could be done that day. Peter and Susan were waiting by the car for Edmund when he saw the shadow by the tree; they all did.
"Who is that?" Susan asked.
"Probably just an old farmer getting ready to go home. We've had a lot of people helping out today." If Peter would have been paying attention he'd have recognized the man, but he wasn't and he didn't. Edmund was a different matter and he hurried to cross the field.
"Thorin?" Edmund was stunned when the shadow not only nodded but proceeded to speak.
"We need to talk about Lucy ." Thorin lead him into the trees.
