Left behind: Peter Pevensie

Chapter 1

"I'm so sorry" He looks up from the ground rubbing his head to see a girl his age standing over him.

"You're human?" He asks and she scoffs, crossing her arms.

"Really? Well spotted, tell me, are you the top of your class?"

His mouth drops slightly. He's seen a lot of things in Narnia that confuse him but this girl might just be at the top of his list.

"W-well it's just that everyone else isn't?" He says unsure of himself standing up.

"I'm special" She says but Peter notices how she says it with disdain.

"Harper Harow, I'm your protector" She shoves out her hand and Peter shakes it. "Peter Pevinsie, Protector?" He questions and she shrugs.

"You know about as much as me. I'm the king and queen's protector" He looks at her extremely confused. "Did you go through an wardrobe too?" He asks and she shakes her head.

"No, I almost got hit by a car and woke up here. So it's going to be fun going home" She winces at the thought of actually getting hit. He nods not knowing what to say.

"How old are you?" She asks. "Sixteen" "Me too, why are they having literally children be queen's and king's, I mean your sister has to be ten? So young" he shrugs not knowing either.

"Where do you live? Like in our world. Your accent is weird "

"Indiana "

"Oh, Has the war affected you badly over there?" he asks and she nods. "Not as bad but yeah it's bad"

"Wish it was over" Peter sighs thinking of his dad. "Dad?" She asks and he nods.

"You?" He asks back. "No" He gives her a quizzical look but she ignores him. "I have to go train, come with?" She asks and he nods following after her intrigued to get to know her. They reach where Oreius was and Harper waves.

"My king" He bows to Peter and Peter looks uncomfortable with the attention given. "You can call me Peter" He says and Oreius nods.

Then they start training, Peter learns quickly that Harper's a natural and hard to keep up with. After she beats him for the third time he huffs sitting down.

"How are you so good?" He asks and she shrugs. "Have experience with dodging" She says referring to her father but Peter just gives her a weird look.

A moment later a loud sound is heard and Peter stands up. "Susan" He says and starts running with Harper and Oreius close behind. They reach the woods to see the Pevesie sisters in a tree with Magruim and his wolves snapping to get them.

Peter and Harper pull out their swords until Aslan tells Harper to step back. "Stay your blade, this is Peter's battle" Harper does as he says but keeps her sword out just in case.

"You may be a human '' The wolf growls circling him. "But you will die like a dog!" He pounces on Peter and Harper runs forward pushing the wolf off him seeing that he's ok.

"Peter!" The sisters yell running towards him as Harper steps back. "Follow them, they will lead you to Edmund '' Harper says without thinking and Oreius looks at Aslan before taking a few Centaurs with him.

"Clean off your sword" Aslan says and Peter does so. Harper is familiar with the tactic as she was made knight three days ago.

"Kneel" Peter does with his sword sticking in the ground.

"Rise Peter, knight of Narnia '' Peter smiles wide and looks over at his sisters who look extremely proud. "Your brother will be back by morning" Aslan says and their smiles grow again. "

Harper '' Harper turns to Aslan. "Walk with me" She does so, following his every step. "I believe there was something you wanted to ask me" Harper looks at him shocked before realizing who she is talking to.

"I was wondering a couple things. First thing, why am I here? I get protector and all but that's not necessarily a very important job compared to the king and queen, don't get me wrong I would much rather be here then home. Why me?" Aslan chuckles softly, smiling at the girl.

"Your job is far more important than you realize little one. You and Peter are connected in some ways; others can't even fathom"

"I barely know him" Harper interrupts and Aslan smiles again.

"For now, you are all of their protectors, but Peter is your lifeline"

"Lifeline? So if he dies I do too?" She says confused as to why she and this boy are connected. "Exactly" Harper frowns not liking that idea.

"What if I don't want to be a protector? What if I don't want Peter to be my lifeline?" "We all have jobs dear one" "Why am I here?" She asks again. Not wondering what her job is. Wondering why her.

"Your mother was from here" Harper's heart drops at the thought of her mother. "What?" "Cathy Williams, until she left because she was in love with your father and decided to stay out of love" Harper scoffs at the thought of her being in love with her father.

"The reason she didn't come back wasn't because of your father Harper, it was because of you" Harper looks over biting her lip to control the variety of emotions seeping through her.

"She found out she was pregnant with you and didn't want you growing up in the middle of a war, she did it to protect you"

"Yeah well that worked out great for her" She says darkly. "You're mad she died?" He says more of a statement than a question.

"She left me, she left me with him" She snaps the last part in disgust.

"Excuse me" She walks off leaving the lion to look after her in concern.
