Here's chapter 5. Enjoy.

Chapter 5

A few hours later, it was morning, and Melendie was the first one up.

The first thing she realized was there was a blanket on he "Who-" she started to ask, but as soon as she thought about it, she realized who had put the blanket on her. She looked over at him sleeping, and whispered, "Thank you, Peter."

Without waking the others, she slowly walked away with the basket and canteen (which were also given to them) and went to gather food and water.

When she got back, she saw that Lucy was awake.

"Ah, good morning you're Highness- I mean Lucy. I hope you slept well."

"Good morning, Melendie," she answered back. "And thank you, I did."

"I have water and fresh berries for breakfast if you like," Melendie told her.

"Thank you." Lucy, then, took a bowl, and a cup of water.

One by one, the other three woke up.

As Peter came to get is breakfast, he and Melendie talked.

"Good morning, Melendie."

"Good morning, Peter."

In a hushed tone, he asked her, "How are you? Are you alright?"

"Well, I don't think I will ever really be 'alright,' but I'm better than I was last night."

"Are you sure that there's nothing I can do for you?

She thought about it, and then said, "Could you not tell anyone about it? I really don't want the others to know," she asked, gesturing over to the others. "It's kind of private."

"Of course, no problem."

There was an awkward silence between them.

"I have to get more berries and water," she told him. She took the basket and canteen, and hurried off.

Peter walked over to where his brother and sisters were sitting. They were staring at him. Peter and Melendie didn't know it, but they had been watching them.

"What?" Peter asked them.

"Nothing," Susan answered.

"Nothing at all," Lucy added.

"Just eating my berries," Edmund added also, finishing.

When Melendie got back, they all ate in silence.

Not a very long chapter, I know. Chapter 6 is next. Keep reviewing.
