Caspian starts looking for Harper as soon as her horse comes without her.
"Is that Harper's horse?" Peter asks and he nods, rubbing her back. "We better make sure she's ok" He says and hops on her horse and Peter stares up at him.
"You coming?" "I shouldn't" He whispers sadly, shoving his hands in his pockets.
"Listen I don't know what happened but I do know that she has no one. She's hurting and if she said some things she didn't mean don't take it too harshly. You need to be there for her '' Caspian says before clicking his heels and her horse starts leading him towards her he hoped.
He found her. She was laying with her back against a tree just staring at the sky. Caspian only had two words to describe her. Tired and broken. Anyone with eyes could see that.
"Harper?" She doesn't look his way, just closes her eyes. "Are you ok?" "No," She says honestly. He slides off the horse tying her to a tree and bending down in front of her.
"What's wrong?" "I can't die" She says and his heart falls. "What?" "If I kill myself he will die to, and I hate him but not that much"
"Harper what are you talking about? Why would you want to die?" She lazily looks his way. "I've been alive for one thousand three hundred and thirty two miserable years, Caspian. I'm tired I just want to rest"
"After we are all done you can go home" She chuckles darkly. "You don't understand, if I stay it's horrible and if I go home it's worse. My moms dead Caspian, my father is a drunk. I have nothing" he stays quiet for a moment not knowing what to say.
He moves to sit next to her. "I wouldn't say that. The Pevinsies care about you so much. You are their family. I've seen the way they looked at you. Are you telling me the fifteen years they were here were miserable?" She thinks for a moment. "No, those were the best years of my life" "
Exactly, if you would let them in, maybe you could let some weight off your shoulders and get some rest. And I know for a fact that Peter loves you so you can't leave him" She looks over sharply.
"He doesn't love me, he left"
He sighs thinking how stupid she could be. "They didn't have a choice. And from what I've heard from Susan she said he spent every single day trying to get back to Narnia. Trying to get back to you"
"What if they leave again?" She asks so quietly he barely catches it.
But from that sentence alone he realizes how she still is a child. She is hurting so much.
"They won't. I can tell Peter won't go anywhere without you" "I'm horrible at emotions" She admits and he chuckles. "Except anger, I"m good at that"
"I've never been the greatest either, both my parents are dead. My uncle is trying to kill me and I just realized Narnian's exist and I'm trying to help take back Narnia for them. I could die any day now "
"I'll protect you" She says and he looks down and she smiles small and he smiles wide knowing she feels better.
"You should smile more, it's pretty" "Give me reasons to smile and I will" She jokes and he laughs. "You are a pretty amazing person Harper, it would be a shame for you to not realize that. Not realize you deserve to be happy "
"I didn't realize when I met you, you would become my therapist" She jokes again and he laughs.
"Anytime Harper, anytime. We should head back though, it's not safe out here" Harper nods, taking his hand and standing up.
"Sorry I yelled at you girl" She whispers to Dana and Dana nuzzles her nose in her neck. Harper slides up and then helps Caspian up.
They get back and Harper slides off, turning to Caspian and placing a hand on his arm. "Thank you" "My pleasure" She walks off with Dana and puts her up.
She then makes her way to talk to Peter but doesn't get far. "Har, you should see this" Edmund says and runs grabbing her hand.
He pulls her up to the lookout to see everyone already there and looks to see Miraz's army approaching.
Harper sighs. Another battle.
More lives lost.
She just wants to rest.
"Guess rest will have to wait "She whispers and Caspian gives her a look of sadness while the others look confused. They make their way down stairs thinking what to do.
