Thanks so much for all the reviews, guys! I got a lot of them on this chapter and I love to read them!

Just Plain Valiant: YEAH JESUS! I'm glad you like it because I rather enjoy writing it :D

Kyra3015: Thanks!

It's just little ol' me: Thank you! New chapters will keep coming! (and I quite liked that part too…because I've totally used that threat before.)

.: There will be more to read, I guarantee it!

Tatty and Dragon: Glad you like it! I'm glad this story means more than just a cute storyline to you. It's good to know that my words don't just affect me. BTW, I went to your beautiful U.K. for a month over this last summer and I just wanted to say that I LOVE IT THERE! I plan to move to Northern Ireland after college to work medically there. England was lovely…it was ALL lovely!

JuBag: Well thanks! I try to write it well but sometimes when I get excited and think ahead my fingers type the wrong thing and my spelling goes out the window xD

The next morning, I awoke feeling refreshed despite the hard ground I had been sleeping on all night. My dream was still vivid in my mind and I smiled as I imagined my romp with the Great Lion.

But I had to continue. To where, I wasn't sure. I just felt the need to get up and go so I saddled my horse, smiling as I noticed the Lion himself engraved in the leather of the reins and various saddle straps. It was almost as if Aslan was right there with me.

I set out south again, not knowing why. I rode for quite some time until I came to a small stream on the very edge of the Great Woods. I saw the desert that separated my land and Narnia and sighed at the thought of crossing it. I led my horse to the stream and let him drink, he drank a lot too…

Suddenly, I heard the sound of voices in the distance. Very soft and far off, so I decided to carefully find out who it might be. I crouched and snuck, cat-like among the brush of the forest until I came to a small clearing to the west of my previous position. I realized instantly who these voice belonged to. Two men, dressed in green and brown tones, sat back to back with no fire or horses around. These men were spies, and they were spies from MY people!

Keep your eyes and ears open and your body hidden.

The words Aslan had spoken to me floated into my mind and I realized now that I was meant to spy on these spies. I smiled at the irony.

"This place is rotten," one of the men said as he pulled his cloak around him tighter, "All these danged woods and half-creatures. What would Her Majesty ever want with all these nasty Narnians?"

"It's not our place to know why she wants it," the other man replied gruffly, "We're just suppose to scout it out and find the weaknesses of the area. That dang castle is going to require some pretty powerful machines. Trebuchets and ballistae I have no doubt."

Oh my gosh! They're planning an invasion! My mind whirled. I had been here before my capture to fight because the queen had told us the Narnians had broken a peace agreement. But now I realized what a vile woman my queen was. She had wanted Narnia in her possession all along and my regiment had only been a test of their military strength!

"Those high and lofty King and Queens won't know what hit them!" the first man laughed a wheezing laugh that made my blood boil in anger.

"No they won't," the second man agreed, "They think that regiment that was wiped out before was the only organized army we had. Didn't account for mercenaries, did they?"

"If these pathetic Narnian creatures knew the size of her forces they would probably evacuate the country in fear!" the first man's voice was gruff and I recognized him suddenly. He had been the blacksmith in the village I had come from.

"I'm really going to love giving the queen this report. All quiet, no military set up, peaceful and calm. These Narnians aren't prepared for a single battle let alone a war!"

It was then that I understood. I understood everything! Aslan had stopped my from killing Edmund during that battle so that I would in turn be shown mercy and spared. Aslan brought good out of sadness when I was exiled because he found me in the desert and showed me who he is. And now, it had led to this. I was meant to hear this conversation from the beginning. I had to warn the Narnians!

I snuck away, back to my horse and immediately swung into the saddle. But then it hit me. I was exiled. Edmund wouldn't want to listen to a word I had to say and he would probably end up chopping my head off. I clutched my neck in discomfort at the thought…

But Aslan had said Edmund was under him. And he promised I had nothing to fear. So I made up my mind and dug my heels into my stallion's side and galloped back to the north, toward Cair Paravel, the Kings and Queens, and probably imprisonment at the least.

It took me two days to reach Cair Paravel again. I was sore and stiff and dirty and gross, but I was there! I saw the shimmering of light from the many windows of the castle as I approached the edge of the woods quietly. I sneaked around in the shadows of the stables and got an idea. Philip!

I slipped through the stable door and made enough noise so as not to frighten him and whispered loudly in the darkness.

"Philip!"

Philip's head rose up and he flicked his ears toward me. But then they laid back against his skull and he whinnied angrily. I knew I had made a mistake because he reared up and came at me. With a shriek, I fled from the stable but Philip came after even then. I ran for all I was worth and pulled myself into a tree.

"Come down and face me like the warrior you so pride yourself to be!" Philip's angry voice hollered from below. "I told you that you would have me to deal with!"

"Philip, calm down!" I tried to reason with him, but he furiously scraped at the trunk of the tree with his hooves. His eyes were wildly rimmed with white, an expression on never wants to see on a horse that could get to you! "Please! I need to speak to the Kings and Queens!"

"You won't go anywhere NEAR them while I live and breathe!" Philip said, backing away from the tree, accepting it was pointless to try and reach me.

"But, Philip…"

"Philip, what on earth is going on?" I let out a breath of relief. Lucy!

"Lucy! Lucy it's me!" I called down from the tree, hoping that the young queen would listen to me.

"Natani!" Lucy's eyes got huge. But she didn't react how I hoped. She climbed up the tree a ways and grabbed my ankle, pulling and screaming at me.

"Ow! Lucy, let me go!"

"No! No you deceptive little creature!" Lucy was livid! I had never seen this side of her! "You thought you fooled us all, didn't you! Edmund told me you tried to kill him! NO ONE TOUCHES MY BROTHER!"

I wanted so badly to shove Lucy out of the tree but I knew that wouldn't help my case. I decided to try diplomacy.

"Lucy, let me explain!" I said loudly, trying to make myself heard over her ranting, "I didn't kill Edmund because I COULDN'T! I changed my mind!"

"Of course you say that!" Lucy screeched, she grabbed my calf and leaned too far back. We both came tumbling out of the tree and landed on our backs with simultaneous "Oofs" and groaned.

Philip was over me in a second, his horse teeth clamped shut in my shoulder and I let out a very loud (probably louder than necessary) scream.

"Philip! Lucy! What is…" but the question was cut short. It was Edmund.

Philip released me and I fell to my knees. Taking a deep breath, I looked up into Edmund's eyes. They were absolutely full of rage.

"YOU!"

Well that's all I have time for. I have a volleyball game to go watch with my "crew" as were called. And then it's off to the cinema for a girl's night out with my best friend! :D It's going to be a good night!

Reviews make me happy :D
