Chronicles of Narnia

Old Stories

After seeing Narnia the first time
"I was... kidnapped... I...." Lucy gasped as she stumbled out of the wardrobe.
"Lucy, breath," Peter said and Lucy collapsed. "Lucy!"
"Tumnus... Tum..."
"She's speaking nonsense, get her to bed," Susan said. Peter picked up his sister and took her to a bed.
"Argh!" Lucy gasped as she awoke.
"Lucy."
"Luce."
"The white witch..."
"Who?"
"She controls the trees and... and the fauns and..."
"Slow down Lucy."
"Mr Tumnas!"
"Who?"
"He's in trouble."
"Lucy. You passed out."
"No. Mr... he kidnapped me."
"Yes, he was good."

Edmund Hurt By The White Witch
After the battle, the Pevensies ran to Edmund, who was lying on the ground and gasping for air. Susan knelt down first and lifted Edmund's head onto her lap before taking his helmet off. Peter fell to his knees beside his younger brother and leant over him. His heart was in his mouth as he watched Edmund trying to cling onto life. Lucy brought out her cordial and gave a drop of it to Edmund. Edmund closed his mouth and Peter held onto his arm. He seemed to stop breathing.
No, no, no, Peter begged in his head as he watched Edmund. Susan looked up at him but Peter didn't want it to be real. Why wasn't the cordial working? Lucy began crying and Peter's heart sank further into his chest.
"Come on Ed," Peter said out loud and Edmund coughed.
"Edmund!" Susan gasped in surprise and Peter gasped in relief as he watched his brother come to.
He was alive He was ok. He was, Peter thought before Edmund looked at him and He pulled him into a hug. Once Peter had made sure that Edmund knew that he loved him, he drew back whilst keeping a firm grip on Edmund's arm.
"Why can't you just do what you're told!" Peter exclaimed and Edmund smiled. All four of them hugged him before Lucy saw Aslan and went off to heal others on the battlefield. Peter turned back to Edmund and wrapped an arm around his waist. "Are you alright Ed?" He asked as he search his brother's face.
"Yeah, the wound's healing," Edmund said and Peter looked down at Edmund's abdomen. The wound was indeed healing but it was still bloody and deep.
"It's healing Ed, but it's still pretty bad."
"I suppose I am feeling slightly dizzy."
"Ok, lie back down," Peter said and he helped Edmund to rest back onto Susan's lap. "Just relax Ed, we're here," Peter said and Edmund closed his eyes.
"How long will he take to heal?" Susan asked Aslan as he came over.
"If the wound is deep, it will only be a few minutes longer than the rest," Aslan told them.
"Thank you," Peter told him
"Lucy is the one you should be thanking."
"Argh!" Edmund groaned and Peter turned back to his brother.
"What's wrong Ed?"
"Argh," Edmund gasped again and Peter gripped his hand tighter. What if the cordial hadn't worked?
"Ed?" Susan asked.
"I think. I think that it's healed," Edmund told them after a moment.
"It's healed?"
"Yes," Edmund told Peter as he inspected his abdomen.
"It's gone. You're ok Ed," Peter said before he hugged Edmund.

Lucy Attacked By A Bear
"Don't move your majesty," Trumpkin called out as he saw the bear. Lucy turned to look at him as the bear began to charge. Lucy turned back to the bear and she began to run.
"Stay away from her!" Susan called as she raised her bow and both Peter and Edmund grabbed their swords.
"Shoot! Susan shoot!" Peter called out as he and Edmund ran towards Lucy. Susan shot and Lucy screamed as the bear reared up in-front of her. Susan's arrow landed in it's chest it and fell upon Lucy. "Lucy!" Peter cried out and he and Edmund kept running, fearing for the worst. They reached Lucy and Peter drove his sword through the bears head.
"Lucy!" Edmund called out before he and Peter moved the bear off Lucy. Peter gasped as he saw that Lucy wasn't moving and that she had her eyes closed. He put two fingers firmly against her neck to feel for her pulse.
"Peter?" Susan asked in worry as she joined them.
"She's alive," Peter said after a moment.
"Is she hurt?" Edmund asked and they looked down at Lucy's red dress. It didn't appear to be torn, but the colour would hide any blood.
"Oh Lucy," Susan said and Lucy moved slightly.
"Lucy?" Peter, Edmund and Susan asked all at once.
"We're here Lucy," Peter told her as she moved more.
"Are you alright?" Susan asked as Lucy opened her eyes.
"You are injured? Did the bear hurt you?" Edmund asked.
"I don't... I don't think so," Lucy replied.
"It's alright Lu," Peter said. "Does anything hurt?"
"No," Lucy replied, not quite sure.
"Can you sit up?" Susan asked and Lucy nodded.
"I think so," Lucy said and her siblings helped her to sit up. The watched her in worry as she looked at the bear. "Why did it attack me?"
"I suspect he was hungry," Trumpkin said as he came over.
"But why?" Susan asked.
"Was he wild?" Edmund asked.
"If you get treated like a dumb animal long enough, that's what you become," Trumpkin told them.
