Thanks so much for all the new reviews guys! It made my day so much If I get a good response for this chapter, I will have a new one up by Monday..so there's an incentive for you :P

Edmund's POV

Peter could be so frustrating. But Edmund decided to indulge him anyway.

"What about a raid of the castle? You know, hit them before they hit us." Edmund suggested casually. He knew the secret to getting Peter on his side was to let him think he had come up with most of the plan.

"That could be a good idea." Peter mused. He rubbed his chin with his hand. "Of course, we would have to plan it carefully, and only use some of our men, and leave some here." His voice trailed off. "It's a great idea Ed!" Peter exclaimed.

Edmund smiled to himself. He knew he could get Peter to like the idea.

Lucy's POV

Lucy sat outside the huge fortress, on a rock high above the ground. Her small chin was resting in her equally small hand, and her usually happy blue eyes were clouded over. She jumped in fright when she felt a hand touch her shoulder.

"Ricky!" She sighed in relief. "What are you doing out here?"

"I wanted to make sure you were okay. You left the room quite suddenly, as if you were upset."

"Oh, I'm fine." Lucy turned back to staring at the night sky. It appeared to be black, even though Lucy knew it was really a dark blue. The tiny stars twinkled up in the sky, like diamonds laying on a piece of black cloth. The moon sat high up in the sky, glowing and lighting up the fields in front of the fortress.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Ricky asked with some disbelief in his voice.

"I guess I just feel unimportant. Everyone else is scurrying about, making plans and getting ready to fight. Me, I'm just sitting here, waiting for them to come back even though they haven't even left yet. I have nothing to do, no role to play." Lucy sat back with disappointment.

"No role to play? Lucy, you are the most important player!" Ricky exclaimed. Lucy turned to him, wondering what on earth he was talking about. "You are the playmaker, the encourager. You are the one who sits here waiting for them to come back so you can nurse the wounded and build everyone up again. You keep everyone happy. Nothing would happen if people weren't happy and feeling encouraged Luce. Nothing!"

"I hadn't thought of it like that." Lucy said slowly. " I always pick up my siblings when they look down. It's just my job as the youngest."

"Well, it's really not your job." Ricky spoke passionately. "You have a gift Luce, the gift of encouraging people and making them smile; of brightening their day that much more. It's a rare thing to possess, and I wish I had it too."

Lucy smiled at Ricky. "I think you just made my day a bit brighter."

Elise's POV

Elise strapped on a sword to her outfit, and tightened the leather belt that was holding up her clothes. She turned to look at herself in the mirror, and almost gasped. Where was the girl that had put on a black dress for her mother's funeral? Where was the girl that usually wore dresses and skirts all the time, because she hated pants and thought they were unfeminine. That girl had disappeared. The girl in the mirror was a warrior, who didn't care what she wore, who wanted to fight to keep her country safe. Elise wondered if she was ready to be that girl. She had come into Narnia as a girl, and she felt as if she was now a woman. She was nervous, scared and completely worried, but she knew that this had to be done, and with every bit of resolution in her, she squared her shoulders and left the room.

David's POV

David sat on his bed, his head in his hands. Even though everyone shared the "bedroom", no one was there at the moment, so he took some time to reflect. His parents loved him, even though they weren't there to tell him, and somehow David felt that they were proud of him. He could almost hear his mother's voice from the time when he brought home the baseball trophy.

"David, we are so proud of you. I love you so much sweetheart, I'll love you forever."

Even though she wasn't in front of him, David knew she was watching him from above.

Danielle's POV

Everyone dealt with grief in their own way. Danielle knew that the way she dealt with grief was to try to pretend that it wasn't there. But now, before battle, she could feel it coming onto her. She knew that she might die in this battle, and she wasn't sure what happened if she died in Narnia, she might even be separated forever from her siblings. But something she did know, that her parents loved her, and they hadn't intentionally left her. Even though it was hard to remember at times, Danielle knew that she couldn't blame her parent's death on herself or anyone else. It was an accident, a tragedy, and the only thing worse than their death would be blaming herself. Hugging her knees to her chest, she rocked back and forth as she finally let the tears fall. Salty, wet tears fell down her cheeks as she cried silently. She knew that it would hurt a lot more before the end. But she was ready for it. Just like she would face whatever came that night.

Ricky's POV

Ricky found it hard to watch everyone else leave him behind. He wanted so badly to go and fight with his older brother and Peter and Edmund. But he knew that he needed to stay here and comfort Lucy, and that someday his turn would come. One day he would pick up a sword and defend his family and his country, and when that day came, he would be ready for it.

Hope you liked it, now REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
