Again…I'm sorry about the wait. I was on a missions trip this week, and I have summer camp starting tomorrow morning, but after that I'm home for the rest of the summer. I'm hoping about another six chapters and the story should be complete, so make sure to vote in the poll on my page about which story I should write next! I'm actually sitting in the waiting room of a hospital while my dad is in the ER, so prayers for him would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys
Edmund's POV
Edmund just stared at Aslan. He couldn't believe what he was hearing; Dani couldn't die. He needed her so much, and her family had lost so much already. He just shook his head and backed up, covering his face with his hands. For the first time, he felt truly helpless; all his life he had thought that he had everything under control, but for once in his life, he didn't. He turned to see Aslan carrying Danielle to a field hospital. He couldn't live with himself, so he ran.
Ricky's POV
Ricky's lower lip trembled watching his older sister be lowered onto a stretcher bed.
"Please someone do something!" He cried out. Nurses scurried around her as they hooked her up to a bag of medicine. A doctor examined her as Lucy pulled him away. She sat outside the tent hugging him as he cried.
"I already lost my mom and dad, I can't lose Dani too!" Ricky screamed. Lucy understood that screaming was his way of dealing with what he was feeling, and she just let him scream. She didn't know what else to do.
David, Susan, Peter and Elise joined them some time later. They had no idea where Ed was, and they decided he would be able to take care of himself. Waiting, they worried the entire night as the doctors operated on Danielle.
David's POV
Susan had fallen asleep in David's arms. When she shifted, he woke up but didn't move so he wouldn't disturb her. Just then the doctor walked in.
"I have some news." The doctor said gravely.
"What is it?" David asked fearfully.
"Your sister will be okay, she just has a lot of damage. Three of her arteries were punctured, resulting in a massive loss of blood. We have operated, and she will be okay. It will just take time for her to recover." David smiled widely.
"That's wonderful!" David exclaimed. He woke the others and told them the news, and they all sighed in relief before heading to get some sleep. That's when they began to wonder where Ed was. They wanted to tell him the good news.
Edmund's POV
Ed's heart pounded as his feet thundered on the ground below him. He raced through the forest, tears running down his cheeks. He couldn't believe this had happened. He wish he was the dead one, not Dani. He had asked her to stay behind, he didn't want her fighting. Now she had and she was dead. If he had only watched out for her a little more, tried to make her stay behind, maybe she would be alive right now. He could never forgive himself. He stopped in a shady seclusion of trees and dropped to the ground. The tears came faster, and they turned into full out sobs. Then he heard a voice.
"Edmund?" The voice spoke. Ed look around, but saw no one.
"Who's there?" His voice came out shaky from crying.
"Son, what are you doing here? Why aren't you with your family and Danielle." The voice asked, ignoring his question.
"Danielle is dead. Why should I be there? I killed her." Edmund started crying again.
"Danielle is alive. The doctor saved her." The voice said. "You didn't kill her. Nothing you said could have stopped her from fighting today. She wanted that just as much as you did. You must not blame yourself for what could have happened."
"Dani's not dead?" Edmund gasped. "But Aslan said she would die!"
"Even the wisest make mistakes." Suddenly Aslan appeared from the shadows, and Ed realized he had been the voice.
"Aslan?" Edmund said with awe in his voice.
"Yes. You should go to her, she needs you. She will need you a lot in the future as she heals." Aslan smiled as Edmund ran in the direction of the field before stopping and turning around.
"Thank you Aslan."
"You're welcome."
My dad just got called in, so I'm going to end it here. Sorry about the shortness, I'll have one up for you guys next week after I get home. Thanks, and Review! I love you all!
