Chapter 7: The White Witch

Lucy sat against the stone table, her cordial bottle in her petit hand as she traced the glass. Just then, a loud horn in the distance was heard, making the Pevensie girl eagerly stand up, putting her cordial away before running outside, seeing her brothers, sister, friend, Caspian, and some other Narnians walking up. Peter held Y/n's hand tightly in his as them and Caspian led from the front.

"What happened?" Lucy asks, noticing their distraught faces.

"Ask him." Peter responds as he takes a glance at the prince.

"Peter." Susan says firmly, not wanting her brother to start a fight.

"Me?" Caspian asks. "You could've called it off. There was still time."

"No, there wasn't, thanks to you. If you kept to the plan, those soldiers might be alive right now." Peter states.

"And if you'd just stayed here like I suggested, they definitely would be!" Caspian argues.

"You called us, remember?" Peter reminds.

"My first mistake." Caspian sneers.

"No. Your first mistake was thinking you could lead these people." Peter denies, starting to walk towards the How, pulling Y/n with him.

"Hey!" Caspian shouts, making the blonde look back at him. "I am not the one who abandoned Narnia."

Peter takes a step forward, his hand leaving Y/n's as he points at the prince. "You invaded Narnia. You have no more right to lead it than Miraz does." Shoving past the king, Caspian starts walking towards the How. "You, him, your father... Narnia's better off without the lot of you."

Letting out a loud cry, Caspian unsheathes his sword as he aims it at the High King, Peter doing the same.

"Stop it!" Edmund cries out, stopping their fight.

Turning to the boy, Caspian and Peter slowly lower their swords once they see Edmund and a centaur placing an injured Trumpkin on the ground. Leaving Peter's side, Y/n runs over, stopping beside Susan as Lucy grabs her cordial, running over as well. As Caspian walks back in the How, the others watch as Lucy puts a drop of her cordial in Trumpkin's mouth, the dwarf soon letting out a small gasp, slowly opening his eyes.

"What are you all standing around for?" Trumpkin asks. "Telmarines will be here soon enough."

Lucy smiles, happy he's alright as she starts to get up, placing her cordial back in her small pouch.

"Thank you..." Trumpkin speaks again, looking at the young queen. "...my dear little friend."

As Lucy smiles even more at him, Y/n slowly gets off her knees, looking to where Peter was, seeing him starting to walk inside the How. However, he glances over his shoulder, his blue eyes meeting her e/c ones. Shaking his head, Peter looks away again, walking inside.

Susan grabs Y/n's hand, Lucy doing the same to her other one as they start to pull her into the How upon seeing her wound on her side, leaving Edmund, Trumpkin, and the others outside.

Just as Susan was almost done cleaning and fixing Y/n's wound when Peter walks in after knocking, a change of clothes sitting in his hands. Susan glances between her brother and friend, who continuously glance at each other. With a smile, the Pevensie girl rolls her eyes before looking at her brother.

"Here, Peter. Maybe you could finish for me." Susan speaks up, handing the cloth to her brother after he puts the clothes down. "I'm going to find Lucy."

"You mean Caspian?" Y/n asks teasingly.

Susan rolls her eyes, but a smile was still evident. "Oh, shut up." And with that, she walks out of the room, leaving the couple inside.
