Once, there were four children who stood at an underground train station. They had just returned from a land called Narnia but nobody around them was aware that they ever had left. The children thought that their adventure was over. After all, it wa...
Lucy sat in the cold and dark prison cell, watching the ceiling for what felt like days. She was sure she could now name every leak and crack of this cave, if it was a cave afterall. After 'Peter' attacked her, she had passed out. She woke up to find herself back in the cell. Alone. She was worried about why Edmund wasn't with her and couldn't help but only imagine the terrible things being done to him while she was powerless to help.

The only thing she could do was pray that he would be returned to her soon. Of course she would have tried finding him but escaping the cell seemed impossible, especially with all the merpeople guarding her. The merpeople would never even say a word to her when she asked them where her brother was. She had eventually given up trying. They ignored her no matter how loud she was. They wouldn't even look at her.
"Let go of me!" Lucy heard from the right of her cell. She could recognize that voice anywhere, and turned to see Edmund being "escorted" by some merpeople. He was thrown right back where they started - in the same cell with Lucy. She was relieved, but worried at the same time when she saw him, not knowing if he had been injured. Her questions were answered as she saw a deep cut on Edmund's hand. "Edmund, your hand! Here. I still have my cordial." She said as she took the beautiful glass in her hand.
"No, Lu. That's not necessary." He told her. "It is only for emergencies."
"This is an emergency. You know you will lose this battle against me. So you might as well give in now."
"Alright Lucy. I'll take it but just know that I am fine."
She popped open the lid and gave a drop of the juice to Edmund. His hand instantly started healing as they both leaned against the cold rock wall and faced each other. "I'm sorry." He sighed. "I'm sorry for betraying you guys back when we first came to Narnia."
"Oh, Ed. We already forgave you years and years ago. It was a mistake! Why are you beating yourself up about it all of a sudden?"
"Because of Camus...he is the one who captured us"
Lucy's eyes opened up in shock. "Ed, what did he do to you?"
"Nothing...yet. But Camus...he, well, reminds me of myself when we first came here."
"How could he possibly remind you of yourself?"
"Think about it, Lu. I was supposed to do right by Narnia but betrayed it for selfish reasons. Sounds familiar to me!"
"Edmund, don't ever say that about yourself! You are way more than that so-called knight!"
"Yeah, I know...well I am supposed to know." He confessed.
"Please, Edmund. When will you forgive yourself?" She asked with tears in her eyes.
"When I feel as if I did right by Narnia, then I can let it go."
"Edmund, you were such an amazing ruler! You saved us multiple times and you are the best diplomat Narnia has ever seen. You have proved yourself time and time again to all of us!"
