Looking for Narnia

Let's talk about it

Peter took a rock on his hand and came close to Caspian.
I was going to scream at him to stop but someone beat me to it.
Lucy came out of the bushes and stood up straight.
Peter looked angry as he looked around and saw the minotaurs, satyrs, and centaurs backing Caspian up.
Caspian looked at me and helped me up. Peter finally looked at us and his face softened as he looked at me.
"Kira" he says breathlessly.
"Peter" I whisper and I feel Caspian pull me closer.
Peter's face hardened as he saw the way Caspian touched my tiny waist.
"Prince Caspian?" he said confused and I look at Caspian.
"Yes" he says breathlessly "And who are you?"
I looked at Susan as she came running and shouting Peter's name. Edmund quickly joined her and I broke loose of Caspian's grip.
Lucy, Edmund, and Susan came running to hug me.
"Oh my... Kira! It's you!" Susan whispers on my ear as she hugs me tightly.
It was a weird feeling looking at the Pevensies so young.
The last time I saw them Lucy was getting taller than me.
I laughed and wanted to cry of joy. It's them!
"High King Peter" Caspian say to himself and he looks at me.
"Yes, that's me" Peter says and he looks at me as well.
I avoid his eyes and hugged Edmund.
"Look at you! You are so small!" I tease Ed and he gasps.
"I am not that small" he says and I laugh.
"Yes, yes. I know. Just that I thought you'll be a little older" Caspian says at Peter. Peter kept looking at me expectantly.
"Well if you like we could come back in a few years" Peter snaps at him in a calm way and Caspian's eyes widen.
"No! I mean it's alright, it's just not exactly as I expected" he says and looks between Susan and I.
Susan hugs me again to hide a small smile, and I frown to myself.
"Neither are you" Edmund says looking at a minotaur.
Trufflehunter murmurs something I didn't catch. And blonde dwarf rolls his eyes at him.
Suddenly a tiny mouse comes closer and kneels in front of Peter saying his friends and swords were at his service.
"Oh my gosh he is so cute" Lucy whispers at me and I smiled a bit.
"Who said that?" the tiny mouse jumps taking his sword and Lucy looks at the ground "Sorry"
The mouse lowers his sword ashamed "Your majesty with all due respect I believe courageous might fit me well"
"Well at least someone can handle a blade" Peter says
"Yes indeed and I put it in good use"
Caspian breathes and I look at him, he comes closer to check my wound while everyone was looking at the talking mouse.
Caspian stepped back when Peter turned to look at him
"We are going to need every sword we can get"
"Well then you probably be wanting yours back" he says at Peter handing him his sword back.
"We should all go back to our camp" Caspian suggested and looked at me "Kira might need some medical attention"
Oh- oh. Wrong words to say Caspian.
Soon enough the 4 Pevensies came rushing to me to see what was wrong.
"Kira" Peter says as he grips my waist and looks at my back where the arrow hit me.
"Yeah. Surprise" I say nervously and he looks at me unamused.
Peter has changed, there was something in him that shouted 'angry'.
"You look really pale, we should go back to camp" he says taking my hand in his and we walked down the trail of the forest.

How I imagined my meeting with Peter was different.
He would look at me with such love that it would warm my heart, then he would hug me tightly while he murmured an 'I missed you' or 'I never meant to leave'.
Instead Peter just gripped my hand carefully and said nothing.
He was calm and I waited for his reaction.
Still nothing.
Caspian looked back at us and Peter went to Caspian so they could talk about the plan.
I was left alone walking until Lucy grabbed my hand and Susan appeared from the other.
"How do you feel? To be back at Narnia? With Peter? With us?" Susan whispered.
"I feel... Peachy. You know the injury on my back is great" I said quietly looking at the ground.
"Oh, yeah I bet it's peachy" Susan murmured not pushing me any farther.
She knew I needed time for this to sink in.
What I needed time for is to actually get over the enthusiastic reaction had. NOT.
"Wow" I heard Edmund say and I look up to see green trees and a big rocky cave.
As we got closer I felt even more dizzy but I held myself together.
Centaurs held their swords up for us to pass and I felt important for the very first time since I came to Narnia.
The four Pevensies stood in front of the raised swords and Peter looked at me.
I avoided his look and Susan held her hand for me to take. I shook my head with a smile and she nodded in understandingly.
The four walked proudly under the centaurs raised swords and I looked at Caspian.
"After you" he says and I walk alone with Caspian at my back.
I saw the black spots and stopped to look at the ground.
Looking at droplets of blood falling from my wound made me realize it really hurt like a bitch.
I kept walking but this time quickly so no one else saw what was happening to me. As we entered I looked around in amazement.
Centaurs, minotaurs, satyrs, wolves, dwarfs, etc.
They were all there, working on the swords.
"It may not be what you're used to but it is our hide out.
"Kira, Peter! You may want to see this" Susan said from afar and I slowly walked up the stairs.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and saw Peter smiling at me.
"Hey" he says nervously.
I just stare and shove his hand away from me.
Surprised at my actions he frowns and I walk to Susan on my own.
We entered the cave and instantly looked at the carvings on the walls.
My mouth was semi opened in surprise, this is amazing.
It was carvings of Lucy, Susan, Edmund, and Peter.
There was none of me though, which made me frown.
Then I got myself thinking, my story was never told before.
Trufflehunter which seemed like the most ancient of all didn't remember me. The dwarfs or any other animal, not even Caspian knew me.
I groan in pain, mostly sadness. I did what Aslan wanted! Why am I not in this walls?
"It's us"
"What is this place?" Lucy asks Caspian.
"You don't know?" Caspian asks and looks at me to see if we were serious.
He then walked in front of us leading us into a wide room.
He soon let's his torch fall into the back of a rock and then the room was lightened with the light of the fire.
In the middle of the room Aslan's carvings appeared. I gasped and looked at Susan which she returned.
Suddenly the rock table in which he was sacrificed by the white witch appeared in front of us.
It was broken, just like the way it was years ago.
It was basically untouched, I walked forward to touch the prehistoric design.
"He must know what he is doing" Lucy says to me and I nod.
Aslan always knows.
But when I looked at Susan she looked sad. Peter on the other hand looked angry and disappointed.
"I think it is up to us now" Peter says and I frown at him.
"Aslan knows what he is doing, he always does, Peter" I say and look at the Aslan's picture again.
I tried, I seriously tried to hate him, but I couldn't which frustrated me.
I felt myself go forward, there was three Aslan carvings. I frowned and rubbed my temples.
"Caspian I don't feel so good" I say and Caspian catches me in time.
"To the nurse we go he says and Peter followed us out of the little sanctuary.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the Trufflehunter checked my injury and wrapped it up with a band aid I looked up at Peter.
"Hey" I say and he snaps out of his thoughts and walks closer to me.
He smiles and crosses his arms in front of his chest.
Why is he so hot?
"Hey" he answered and looked at me straight in the eyes.
"All done" Trufflehunter said and I stood up.
"We have to talk about it" Peter and I say at the same time.
I chuckle and he scratches the back of his neck.
We walk outside into the woods to get some privacy, I was glad he wanted to talk. He took my hand and I quickly pulled away.
He stopped and looked at me, sighting he sat on the nearest rock and looked at me.
"Talk then" he says and looks around. I scoff and cross my arms in my chest.
"What? Are you mad I want to talk?!"
"I never said that!"
I kept quiet and looked around as well.
"Why can't you let me touch you?"
I looked at the ground and then at him, let's get serious.
"Why did you leave me?"
He frowns and shrugs "I didn't leave Aslan made me leave. If it was up to me I would have stayed with you and Andrea"
I cringe at the mention of her name and Peter notices.
"What happened to her?" he asked and I didn't answer.
"Kira I am her father! What happened to her?"
I look at him with tears in my eyes and shake my head signaling she didn't make it.
Peter shook his head and covered his face with his hands.
I then heard a sob, I look at Peter surprised. He was crying!
"Peter" I whisper and I hug him tightly. His arms snake around my waist and pulls me closer.
"I love you, Peter" I said and his sobbing stopped.
"I love you too Kira" he says and kisses my neck once after letting me go.
I study his face and wipe a tear rolling down his cheek.
"I missed you" he says kissing my lips with full passion.
I trailed my hands to his neck pulled him closer, tangling my hands through his hair.
Peter smiled through the kiss and looks at me.
Suddenly I notice something moving behind Peter.
It was not close but not far. I raise a finger to my lips and point at the moving thing.
He looks at it for a minute and grabs my hand.
"It's a Telmarine"
I frown but remember that Caspian mentioned that his uncle Miraz wanted to kill him to have the throne to himself.
The man in the horse saw us watching him and quickly disappeared into the forest.
