All I Want (Edmund Pevensie Love Story)

Chapter 9: Aslan's How

I just had the craziest night and I thought I had enough of crazy, but no. Guess what? I woke with Edmund's arms around me, then Peter had a sword fight with Prince Caspian and now, I am surrounded by minotaurs, centaurs, dwarves, talking animals and fauns. Can the day just get any weirder? Suddenly, I felt someone tap my back and I saw Lucy.

Lucy: So, what's going on with you and Ed?

Me: What do you mean?

Lucy: Don't think that I didn't notice that you are surprisingly not walking beside him.

You're probably confused with what's happening right now. So, we are currently walking with the Narnians with Prince Caspian and Peter leading the way. As for me, I have been trying to avoid Edmund. Ever since what happened last night, I just couldn't bring myself to talk to him and everything seemed awkward between us (or maybe it's just me). Aside from that, waking up in his arms made it even more awkward. I don't even know how I ended up in his arms!

Me: Oh nothing's going on. I just wanted to walk beside you for a change.

Lucy: Okaaaay...

She didn't seemed convinced but didn't push on. After walking, we finally reached the place called Aslan's How. It seemed like they were expecting the Pevensies to arrive because centaurs with sword were lined up on both sides of the path leading to the entrance. I could see that the for were all happy to be finally acknowledge as Kings and Queens again. The four walked first, followed by Prince Caspian and then the rest of us. Once we were inside, everyone looked busy preparing weapons. Us girls decided to look around. We found ourselves in a tunnel and on the walls of the tunnel were paintings. I looked at Susan and Lucy, both of them had confused looks on their faces.

Susan: I'll be right back. I'll just call Peter.

A few minutes later, Susan came back with Peter, Edmund and Caspian. Edmund got one of the torches so that they can get a better view of the paintings.

Susan: It's us.

Lucy: What is this place?

I think right now, everyone was as confused as me, well except for Caspian.

Caspian: You don't know?

He took another torch and started leading the way. We entered a dark room and Caspian used his torch to light up what looked like a fire place that surrounded the whole place. Once the whole room was lit, I saw that there was a stone table in the middle that was cracked in a half. At the back of the table was a wall with Aslan carved on it. Lucy walked forard and seemed to figure out something and looked back at us.

Lucy: He must know what his doing.

Peter: I think it's up to us now.

One by one they left the room and we needed some questions answered so I approached Lucy. As I was approaching Lucy, I bumped into Edmund.

Edmund: Em, can we talk?

Me: We can talk later because right now I need to talk with Lucy.

I walked away from him as fast as I can without looking back despite him calling my name. I don't know why but I just can't face him right now. I finally caught up with Lucy.

Me: Lucy, umm... I wanted to ask you something.

Lucy: What is it?

Me: What is this place?

Lucy: Okay sure, I'll explain.

We sat down and she started explaining that this place was where Aslan was sacrificed in the place of Edmund in the first time they were here and she thinks that Aslan wants them to save Narnia once again.
