The Love Story of Peter & Hermione (The Chronicles of Narnia)

Chapter Eleven

-Hermione Pevensie-

I, Peter, Mary, Katelyn, Verina and Edmund walked out of Aslan's How as the Narnians cheered them on. Aurora stood at the battle arena as she watched them arrive. Caspian stood next to her.

"If it should appear to be going poorly...," Miraz told him.

Glozelle looked at the crossbow in his hands.

"Understood, my lord," He agreed.

I drew his sword and stepped forward.

"Be careful." Edmund told her.

"Don't die for us, love." Peter told her as well.

"You got it, guys," Hermione said.

"Good luck, Hermione." Mary said as I nodded and stepped forward to him.

Miraz stepped forward and they began circling.

"There is still time to surrender," Miraz told her.

"Well, feel free," I shot back.

"How many more must die for the throne?" Miraz asked.

"Just one," I replied before pulling down his helmet and jumped at Miraz. They began fighting. The two armies cheered.

-Susan Pevensie

In the forest, Lucy, Adriana and I rode away. as Telmarine soldiers on horseback pursued us.

"They've seen us!" Lucy told me as she looked back.

I stopped the horse and climbed off.

"What are you doing?" Adriana asked me.

"I'm sorry, Lucy, Adriana. It looks like you two be going alone after all," I told them as she rides off.

They took once last glance at me, and then disappeared. I turned towards the oncoming Telmarines. I notched an arrow to the string and took aim. I took down a few, and then was knocked down. A Telmarine was about to kill me when Caspian came out of nowhere, killed the Telmarine, and held out his hand to me.

"Are you sure you won't be needing that horn?" He asked me again.

I smiled and climbed on. We rode off. As we arrived, I heard the cheers.

-Third Person-

Back at the battlefield, Hermione and Miraz continued fighting. Hermione hit Miraz in the back. Miraz knocked off Hermione's helmet, and then his coif. Hermione swung low, and cut Miraz's leg. Miraz glanced at Glozelle, who was still holding the crossbow.

Miraz swung and Hermione fell over but quickly recovered. Miraz tripped Hermione, and then stepped on his shield. Hermione yelled in pain. Miraz swung again, but Hermione managed to roll out of the way.

Hermione kept rolling and blocking. Then she stopped and Miraz tripped. Both quickly got up, breathing heavily. Katelyn looked over Miraz' shoulder and saw Caspian and Susan riding up.

"They're back, your majesty." Katelyn whispered to her.

"Does his highness need a respite?" Miraz asked him.

"Five minutes?" Hermione asked.

"Three," he sneered at Hermione.

Hermione and Miraz limped back to their sides.

"Lucy, Adriana...," She asked Susan.

"They got through," She replied. "With a little help."

"Thanks," She said to Caspian.

Miraz walked back to his side and threw his helmet down.

"I am sure you won't let it get that close again," Miraz replied as Hermione looked at the How.

"You did it great, love," Peter said to her.

"Thanks, but it's not over just yet," Hermione said.

"I know," Mary replied.

"Better get up there, just in case. I don't expect the Telmarines will keep their word," Hermione told Susan and Aurora.

Susan hugged Hermione, who winces.

"Sorry," she apologised.

"It's alright," Hermione told her.

"Take care," Aurora told Edmund.

"Be safe," he told her.

As Aurora left, Edmund turned to Hermione.

"Keep smiling," Edmund told her.

Hermione raised his sword and forced a smile. The Narnians cheered.

"How does the girl look to you?" Miraz asked.

"Young," Sopespian replied.

"But her majesty is doing extremely well," Glozelle added. "For her age."

Glozelle tightened a bandage around Miraz' knee as he winced. Hermione held her arm and groaned as Edmund looked at it.

"I think it's dislocated," Hermione replied. "What do you think happens back home if you die here? You know, you've always been there. I never really-AWW!"

Mary pushed his shoulder back in.

"Save it for later," Mary told her.

Hermione shook his head when offered his helmet. Miraz also pushed away his helmet. They walked out to the fighting area again. Peter attacked quickly, but Miraz parries. Miraz started hitting Hermione with his shield. Peter fell and Miraz ran towards him. Hermione blocked and then tripped Miraz. They both recovered.

Miraz picked up his sword and swung, but Hermione blocked it with his vambraces. Hermione stood up and punched Miraz' wounded leg. Miraz yelled and fell down, dropping his sword.

"Respite! Respite!" He yelled.

"Now's no time for chivalry, Pete!" Aurora called out to him.

Hermione hesitated as Miraz held up his hand preparing for the blow. Hermione lowered his arm and started walking back to his side. After Hermione's back is turned, Miraz grabbed his sword and runs towards Hermione.

"Hermione!" Susan, Aurora and Edmund yelled.

"Look out!" Peter and Mary yelled as Hermione managed to dodge just in time, grabs the sword, twists it around, and stabbed Miraz beneath the arm.

Miraz gasped and fell to his knees. Hermione, holding Miraz' sword, hesitated again.

"What's the matter, girl?" Miraz sneers at her. "Too cowardly to take a life?"

"It's not mine to take," Hermione looked at Caspian.

He stepped forward, and Hermione handed Miraz' sword to him. Caspian slowly raised the sword.

"Perhaps I was wrong. It seems you have the makings of a good Telmarine king after all," Miraz sneers at him as he bows his head.

Caspian raised the sword, screamed, and stabbed the ground.

"Not one like you," he replied. "Keep your life, but I am giving the Narnians back their kingdom."

He walked away as the Narnians cheer. Sopespian walked over and helped Miraz up. Caspian, Edmund, Peter and Hermione began to walk away.

"My king," Sopespian said to him.

"I will deal with you when this is over," Miraz replied.

Behind Miraz' back, Sopespian pulled out Susan's arrow.

"It is over," He replied as he stuck the arrow into Miraz.

Miraz gasped and fell over, the arrow stuck into his back. Sopespian ran up and took Miraz's sword.

"Treachery! They shot him! They murdered our king! To arms!" The liar yelled as they all turned to look at him.

"Narnians, don't let them get away with this!" Mary yelled as Narnians cheered.
