The Night Raid

Peter sighs as Emily walks in their shared room at the How.

"When do we leave?", She asks.

"We're leaving in two hours.", He says with an emphasis on the word 'We're.'

"Okay. I'll get ready soon then."

"You're not going.", He says simply.

"What?"

"You're not going.", He repeats himself.

"Peter-"

"No. You're staying here with Lucy."

"I'm a Queen, Peter! I've fought in plenty of wars!", She exclaims.

"And you've nearly died in plenty of those wars. I'm sorry, but your not going. This is for your safety.", He tells her.

She rolls her eyes.

"You can't order me around, Peter."

"I am your husband."

"And I am my own person! You have no authority over me.", She shouts back before going to leave the room.

"You're not going. And that's an order! I am your king!"

She turns around just before reaching the door.

"What did you just say to me?"

"You heard me."

She crosses the room in three steps before slapping him hard across the face.

"Never speak to me that way again."

He simply glares daggers at her, before raising his hand to move the hair from her face.

He notices her flinch but he doesn't feel the usual feeling of guilt. Not this time. He feels nothing.

"What's happened to you? I don't even know you anymore.", She says.

She notices the glint of hurt in his eyes but his face remains stoic.

"I'm going to say this... One. More. Time.", Peter moves forward with each word.

"You're not going. That's an order, from your king.", He looks down on her as he grabs her chin and forcefully makes her look at him.

"Stay here."

And with that, he leaves the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Narnian's are preparing to leave as Emily watches from afar.

She watches as Peter, Caspian and Susan leave first.

But just before Edmund can leave, she stops him.

"What's wrong?", He asks noticing her sad look.

"I need to be there, Ed."

"But Peter sa-"

"When have you ever listened to Peter?"

"Never."

"Right. So why start now? I'm a Queen too, he has no power over me or you for that matter."

Edmund thinks it over for a moment.

"And this would severely piss him off?"

"Most definitely.", She tells him.

"Ok then. Get your things together and we'll go."

She smirks before grabbing her weapons and going to mount the griffin with Edmund. Lucy's voice stops her though.

"You're going?"

Emily sighs before getting down and quickly hugging Lucy.

"We'll be okay. I know you want to go, but you need to stay here alright? It's for your safety."
