The Untold story of the Witch's children

Chapter 13: Edmund & Xavier Are Here!

The next day, I woke up and got dressed. After eating breakfast, I found Peter who was looking at the hill. I looked over to see Edmund talking to Aslan.

I clasped my hand on his shoulder.

"Looks like Ed's back." I stated.

He smiled."Yeah and I can't be any happier."

"And he's not the only one."

I turned to see Xavier and I ran towards him. I pulled him into a tight hug which he returned.

"You're back!" I exclaimed as we pulled away."Does this mean you're on our side?"

He smiled."It does. Mother was getting annoying."

"Who's this?" Peter asked.

Oops, I had forgotten that Peter was here.

"Peter this is my twin brother, Prince Xavier." I introduced him."Xavier, this my friend Peter. He is a son of Adam and part of the prophecy."

"Nice to meet you." Peter said as they shook hands.

"Likewise." Xavier said.

I smiled upon seeing their exchange.

Susan and Lucy stepped out of their tent and saw Edmund.

"Edmund!" Lucy exclaimed.

She was about to run over to him, when Peter held her back. Aslan and Edmund looked at us. They looked at one another briefly before they came down towards us.

"What is done is done." Aslan explained as they approached us."There's no need to speak to Edmund of what has passed."

With that Aslan walked away from us.

"Hello." Edmund mumbled as he looked at the ground.

Lucy and Susan then gave him hugs. Once Susan pulled away she asked if he was okay.

"I'm just a little tired." He confessed.

"Get some sleep." Peter suggested.

Before Edmund walked off, Peter spoke up.

"And Edmund, try not to wander off." Peter teased.

Edmund just smiled in return as he walked off.

"Glad to have him back." Peter said to us.

"We now have everyone that the prophecy speaks of." Xavier mentioned.

We know had everyone and I was hoping that we'd defeat our mother for once and for all.

It was soon time for dinner and the sixth of us all gathered at a small table near our tents. Peter was the only one who was leaning against a boulder. Fruit, bread, cheese and much more.

"Narnia's not a good place to wander off, Ed." Lucy teased.

I expected a sassy answer from Edmund, however he just smiled in return. I was shocked with the new Edmund.

"I have to thank Xavier and some of Aslan's troops for saving me." Edmund confessed.

Xavier smiled."Not at all, I opened my eyes and saw how she was acting."

"It's good you saw it now than after the battle." I stated.

"Yeah." Xavier merely replied.

"We can take some food on our journey back." Peter said changing the subject.

"We're going back home?" Susan asked confused.

"You are." He said in a firm voice as he sat down next to Edmund.

"You can't." I protested.

"Look, I promised mum that I'd keep you three safe." Peter explained."But that doesn't mean I can't stay behind and help."

Xavier chuckled."How noble of you Peter, but as the prophecy states we're going to need the four of you and Sabrina as well."

"My brother's right. We need all of you if we're going to win." I stated.

"It's too dangerous though." Peter protested.

"We can defend ourselves." Lucy chimed in.

"How? You almost drowned and Edmund was almost killed." Peter retorted.

"We have to stay." Edmund argued."Or the White witch will remain in power."

"Thank you Edmund, someone who's on my side." I thanked.

"We don't want our mother in power, if she were to find us we'd be killed." Xavier explained."She will do so much more damage if we let her."

Susan then got up."I suppose that's it then."

"Where are you going?" Peter asked.

What is she doing? She then grabbed her bow and arrows. I smiled.

"To get some practice in." Susan explained.

We all exchanged smiles. It was settled then, we're staying and fighting!
