Honesty and Trust | Edmund Pevensie

❉ Chapter 6: Welcome to Narnia, Peter and Susan ❉

The Land of Narnia ~ The Woods ~ 12:02 p.m.

I was next to Edmund in wardrobe, and I saw Peter and Susan sitting on the snowy ground. Their faces held pure shock; I stepped over them, and walked over by a tree not far from them. Lucy and Sammy followed me, and Lucy nearly fell. She smiled sheepishly, and I smiled back. Out of happiness that Peter and Susan now knew about Narnia, and that Lucy was joking with me, which meant she was happy too. I saw Susan and Peter stand up, their faces softened, in confusion and awe. Edmund was too busy looking around to notice that they were here too.

"Impossible," Susan mumbled unbelievingly. Peter looked over at Lucy and me.

"It's good to be back," I said quietly, smiling at Sammy.

"Don't worry," Lucy said next to me, with a cheeky smile. "I'm sure it's just your imagination."

Peter turned to look at me and Lucy, while Susan was still looking around curiously.

"I-I don't suppose... saying 'I'm sorry' would quite cover it." Peter said.

"No, it wouldn't." Lucy said, and threw a snowball at Peter's face. "But that might!" Peter gasped sarcastically and picked some snow up and threw it back at Lucy. I threw a snowball at Susan just as she did to me. We both laughed at our cosmic timing. It was soon a snowball fight between us, but I noticed that Edmund was staring at an area in the mountains. I threw a snowball at his shoulder to get his attention.

"Ow!" Edmund said, rubbing the area were I hit him with a snowball with his hand. "Stop it!" I rolled my eyes. Susan was right; he did complain about every little thing.

"You little liar!" Peter rounded on his younger brother.

"You didn't believe them, either!" Edmund protested.

"I apologized to Lucy," Peter said, looking over at me and Lucy. "Say your sorry!" Peter snapped in his face.

"Alright!" Edmund said, his gaze going from Lucy and me to Peter. "I'm sorry."

"That's all right." Lucy said. "Some little children just don't know when to stop pretending." She added sarcastically.

"Very funny," Edmund mumbled under his breath to her.

"Ah, at least that's settled." I said. Peter nodded.

"Yeah, I can't handle rounds between them," A voice said next to me. I looked over at Sammy, and he looked back. I looked at Susan, Lucy, Peter and Edmund and they too, were looking at Sammy.

"What are y'all lookin' at?" Sammy asked.

"You-you just talked." I said breathlessly.

"I'm in Narnia, that's why!" Sammy said.

"Maybe we should go back." Susan said.

"Shouldn't we at least... take a look around?" Edmund asked, gesturing around the land with his hand.

"I think-" Peter started, just to be interrupted by Sammy.

"We should let Sammy lead the way!" He said, jumping up.

Peter shook his head in disbelief. I mean, how many times do you hear a dog talk? "No, Sammy. We should let Alice and Lucy decide what we do."

Lucy's face lit up. "I thought you wanted to meet Mr. Tumnus!"

"Then Mr. Tumnus it is!" Peter said happily, and went into the wardrobe again. I was about to tell him to come back, because I thought he was leaving, but I looked closer and he seemed to be grabbing coats out of the wardrobe.
