Chapter 12: Battle pt 2

~3rd Person P.O.V.~

The future High King watched as the White Witch turned Oreius into stone, a small smirk on her face. He glanced around, seeing the Witch's army fighting his. Two gryphons flew up above, about to attack Jadis, but was met with the wand and turned to stone, gliding threw the air before meeting a giant rock, breaking into pieces.

The Witch had her gaze stuck on Peter, who had turned to his brother. "Edmund! There's too many! Get out of here! Get the girls and get them home!"

Edmund stared at his brother with wide eyes before his gaze moved to Beaver, who was tugging on his arm. "You heard him! Let's go!" He shouted to the boy.

Just as Edmund was about to climb over some more rocks, his turned back, seeing his brother fighting a minotaur before his gaze went on the Witch, seeing her fighting before turning them into stone, then slowly starting to walk towards Peter when his gaze stopped on her wand.

He unsheathed his sword, making Beaver speak up. "Peter said get out of here!"

"Peter's not king yet." He then ran down and after the Witch, wanting to protect his brother.

Edmund let out a cry, jumping down from some rocks, his sword raised to hit the Witch's wand when he saw she raised it, but she moved her arm just before he could, the two staring at each other before she went to attack him with her wand.

But Edmund was faster. He dodged her attack before bringing his sword down on her wand, breaking it, the magic flying out, catching Peter's attention. The Witch brought her sword against Edmund's, the two fighting for a couple seconds before the boy was stabbed in the stomach by her.

Peter screamed out his brothers name, but to Edmund, it was a muffled sound. He groaned in pain before falling to the ground as Peter started running to the Witch, meeting her half way, and they fought. In a matter of seconds, the blonde had been knocked to the ground, but frantically got up and fought her again.

Many seconds had past as they glared into each others eyes intensely and fought with their swords when a deep and loud roar was heard, causing their gazes to snap to the sound, their eyes widening upon seeing Aslan standing on some rocks.

"Impossible." Jadis mumbled to herself. She was sure she killed him. She saw it with her own eyes.

More deep army cries were heard as more Narnian's walked up, Lucy and Susan leading the way in the front with Mr. Tumnus at Lucy's side, while another lion walked up beside Aslan, sharing a look with him. Both Peter and Jadis' gazes snapped to the second lion, confusion evident on their faces.

The two went back to fighting as everyone had started to run down. The Witch got Peter to the ground before she put one of her swords right near his arm, getting him a little, making him cry out. She glared down at the blonde, about to stab him, but heavy footsteps made her look up, only to be thrown, then tackled to the ground by Aslan himself.

They stared into each others eyes before the lion finished her off. The oldest Pevensie stood to his feet, watching the lion with wide eyes before Aslan turned to him.

"It is finished."

"Peter!" Susan and Lucy cried out, running towards their brother, who turned to them. Lucy hugged her brother, who hugged back.

"Where's Edmund?" Susan asked him.

 The blonde stared at his sister with wide eyes, fear evident in them before the three ran towards where he last saw his brother. Edmund still laid on the ground, gasping for air, his breath quickening, trying to stay awake.

Ginarrbrik was limping over to the boy, an axe in hand.

"Edmund!" That caught the dwarfs attention. He looked to the other Pevensie siblings, only to be met with Susan shooting an arrow, hitting him right in the chest, making him cry and and collapse to the ground.

The three ran to their brother, Susan taking off his helmet before glancing to Lucy, who held up her cordial. She leaned over her older brother, a drop of the liquid falling into his mouth. Edmund closed his mouth, pursing his lips, his breathing stopped, causing them all to cry even more than they did.

Suddenly, a cough left Edmund, making them stare at him with wide eyes before the boy opened his eyes, seeing his siblings above him. They smiled as Peter pulled Edmund into a tight hug.

"When are you gonna learn to do as you're told?" Peter said once he and Edmund pulled away. Edmund smiled at his brother before the four Pevensie siblings all hugged. Over Peter's shoulder, Edmund's gaze stopped on the one lion that no one knew who was, Aslan walking up beside them.

The lion looked to the stone statue beside them before turning to Aslan, who nodded at them before the lion lightly blew air on the statue, turning it back into a Narnian creature, like what happened to Mr. Tumnus.

Lucy looked at her cordial in her hand before smiling at Aslan and the lion, then running to the injured Narnian's and healing them with it.

As she was doing that, Edmund couldn't help but notice one person he's been wanting to see was missing. "Where's Y/n?" He asked his older siblings.

A smile started to show up on Susan's face as Peter shrugged, his brows furrowed. "I don't know." He answered.

Susan looked over her younger brothers shoulder, Edmund and Peter looking at her in confusion before following her gaze, seeing the lion and Aslan still standing there. Aslan gestured for the lion to walk forward, which they did, soon coming face to face with Edmund before crouching down, letting out a deep and low growl.

What the two brothers didn't expect was for the lion to turn into a girl. And not just any girl.

Y/n.

She was exactly like the way she was back at the castle. Dress still on, hair still the same, sword wrapped around her waist. Slowly, she stood up, scared to meet Edmund's eyes, but she did, seeing his brown eyes were wide, staring at her in amazement and awe. Along with Peter.

"Hi." She spoke quietly.

Edmund didn't say anything. He got over his shock before a big smile showed up on his face and tackled her in a hug, keeping her close against him, which she immediately wrapped her arms around him.

Both had big smiles on their faces.
