chapter 25

Edmund

It had been a week since Peter and Cat's wedding and they was due to go on their honeymoon when we got information that the rare white stag was roaming within the woods. We all decided to go out to find it except for Hecta who refused.

"Are you sure you wont come?" Susan asked Hecta as we all began to mount our horses.

"I'm positive I know how you all get when you see a white stag and would rather keep out, even you Cat." She said making us laugh "Besides, M Tumnus and I have tea plans with the beavers and you know how they get when we cancel." She said with a bright smile as she turned to me. "If you catch the stag promise me those two dont keep all of it for their honeymoon."

"I promise Hecta and we will catch it." I said but for some reason I felt a pit in my stomach begin to develop. We said our goodbyes and made our way to catch the stag.

We had been travelling for some time close on the stags tail when Philip suddenly stopped.

"You alright Phillip?" I asked stroking his mane to comfort him.

"I'm not as young as I used to be." He breathed out tiredly making me feel bad for him.

"Come on Ed." Susan said as they all came back towards me.

"Just catching my breath." I said making sure they allow Philip to rest.

"What did he say Cat?" Lucy asked.

"You girls stay at the castle and I'll get the stag myself." Cat said making me laugh at her as the others joined in. Peter finally chimed in but only to look at a lamppost with admiration

"What's this?" He said getting off his horse to inspect the vine covered lamp post as we all followed his lead. The lamppost looked recognisable but I wasn't sure where I knew it from but a part of me was saying go back to Cair Paravel.

"It seems like a dream." Susan said.

"Or a dream of a dream." Lucy said as she mumbled something under her breath and ran off towards the trees making us all follow. We winded through the trees until they started to change into fur coats. Before I had time to react we suddenly hit wooden floor. We had left Narnia and no time had passed since we left.

"Ah there you are. Now what where you all doing in the wardrobe?" the professor said . "And who might this be?" His last sentence made me look towards Cat and saw even she has gone younger.

"You wouldn't believe us if we told you sir." Peter said.

"Oh yeah." He said chucking the cricket ball making Peter catch it. "Try me." Suddenly I was flooded with realisation.

"Hecta." I mumbled as I stood up and went back over to the wardrobe. I tried to go back through but it was close "No,no,no." I repeated as I felt Peter behind me.

"She'll be okay Ed. We should be able to go back soon." Peter said reassuringly but it wasn't.

"The spell Peter! As long as we rule over Cair Paravel no Telmarine can seek revenge except slight problem we aren't at Cair Paravel meaning-"

"The spell is broken." Cat said as she realised what I was saying. We all looked towards the wardrobe hoping it would open again.

Hecta

Mr Tumnus, the beavers and I was currently having a heated debate about who would win in a fight between a minotaur or a centaur. I was about to reply when I felt my chest feel heavy and my hand feel lighter as if a spell was slipping away. Mr Tumnus noticed my reaction and asked me what was wrong.

"They left. They've all left." I announced making my friends worry. I shouted for Oreius who came suddenly. "Gather up the Narnians and tell them to pack their belongings and retreat to the woods. They're coming."
