Looking for Narnia

Chapter 11- Let's discuss the plan

Merry Christmas my lovely readers!
--------------------------------------------------------
Peter reunited the leaders to discuss a plan. He wanted to send Lucy in a horse to the forest since we knew things were going to get ugly. On the other hand, Trumpkin didn't like the idea.
"You are sending a little kid into the darkest parts of the forest alone?" Trumpkin asked incredulously.
"It's our only chance" Peter said "Also Kira is going with--"
"Wait what?" I asked suddenly.
"You need to go, things are going to get ugly" Peter said clenching his jaw.
"I am not leaving!--"
"I'll go Peter" Susan says and she nods at me.
Trumpkin said something to Lucy I didn't understand, but Trufflehunter took a couple steps to Trumpkin "Our friend Nickabrik lost hope but Lucy hasn't. We have to fight"
Reepechip raised his tiny sword "For Aslan"
A bear also stood up "For Aslan"
Trumpkin looked at Lucy "I am going with you"
"No your needed here" Lucy touched his shoulder.
"We have to hold them off until Susan and Lucy get back" Peter said.
"If I may" Caspian said and we all turned to see him "Miraz may be a murderer but as king" he stood up and walked closer to Peter "he is subject to the expectations of his people"
"And there is one in particular that may buy us some time" Caspian ended and Peter looked at me.
I nodded "What is it?"
--------------------------------------------------
After Caspian told us the plan I insisted to go with Edmund. Peter, as always denied and tried to keep me beside him.
"Peter. Come on!" I say and Peter grabs my arm and takes me out of the room.
"Kira, please!"
"Peter! Nothing is going to happen!"
"You don't know that! What if--"
"You are going to fight Miraz!" I say finally interrupting him.
Peter stays silent and he clenches his fists. He looks at me and touches my cheeks with his hands on each side from my face.
"Kira--"
"No you listen Peter, I am your knight. I am the one who protects you!" I say and his eyes soften.
"Kira--"
Once again I interrupt him "Peter you have to let me go"
Peter sights and nods his head, I smile and look into his blue eyes.
"Gosh I missed you" I say and I touch his lower lip with the back of my index finger.
He comes closer and kisses me softly. I smile in the kiss, seconds later he did too.
"Hey love birds, Kira can I steal Pete here?" Edmund says smiling ear to ear.
Peter kept kissing my lips and I push him off laughing. His hair was now all messed up and his lips a reddish color.
He pecked my lips and walked to Edmund, Ed laughed and stopped him.
"I think you don't want to go in there with you hair like that" my cheeks were really red right now and I covered my face.
"Whatcha mean Ed?"
"Let me take care of it" Ed chuckles and fixes his hair.
"Ed, Kira is going with you. Protect her" Peter says and points at me.
Edmund smirks "I think she'll protect me Pete" I chuckle and Peter turned to look at me with a bright smile.
"I'll see you later love" Peter says to me and I nod "Of course. You won't get rid of me that easily"
He laughs, gosh I love his laugh, and then disappears as he enters a room.
Edmund looks at me for a second "What?"
Ed shakes his head with a smile "I haven't seen him smile like that since a long time"
"Believe me, I haven't smiled like this in a long time as well" Edmund comes closer and I put my hand in his head to mess up his hair.
"Oh... That's what I didn't miss of you" I laugh and push him lightly "You missed me a lot" I said laughing.
Edmund smiles "Yeah I did"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ed, a centaur, a giant who I called Bob and I walked to the tent to talk to Miraz.
Bob waited outside with the centaur while Edmund and I talked to Miraz.
Ed looked at me and gave me the scroll in which Peter wrote his letter.
"May I ask who this young lady is?" one of Miraz's men said. I held my head high, I smiled and bowed.
"Ah I am Kira, a knight. Now may I read the kings letter?"
Miraz eyed me from head to toe and nodded.
"I, Peter, by the gift of Aslan. By lection of conquest, High King of Narnia, Emperor of the Lone Islands. In order to prevent the blood from running, by thy challenge the Sir Miraz in a single combat in the field of battle. The fight shall be to the death. The reward shall be total surrender" I finish and roll the scroll into its original form.
I looked at Miraz's face and I seriously wanted to laugh, his face was a mixture of fear and anger.
Miraz looked at me intently "Tell me Prince Edmund" he says turning to look at Edmund.
"It's King Edmund"
Miraz tilted his head slightly to the right "Pardon me?"
I turn to Edmund with a frown, what is he doing?
"I am King, but only King. Peter is the High King" Edmund finishes with a face of regret.
Miraz just nods dumbfounded "I know its confusing" Edmund says nodding.
Miraz turns to see his men "Why would you risk suck a proposal when our army can wipe you out by nightfall"
Edmund turn to me and I clear my throat "Have you already underestimated our numbers?" I ask.
Miraz frowns instantly at me.
"I mean only a week ago Narnian's were extinct"
Miraz gave me a look with such hatred "And so they'll be again"
I smirked "Well the you should have little to fear"
Suddenly Miraz starts laughing "This is not a question of bravery"
I tilt my head and then frown "So you bravely refuse a sword fight with a man half your age?"
Miraz looked angry now as he looked at me intently.
"I didn't say I refused"
I smirk and a man sitting close to Miraz opened his mouth saying that he had all their support in whatever he choose to do.
"Our preparation is a perfect excuse to avoid-" the man talking was interrupted.
Miraz stood up with his sword "I am not avoiding anything!"
"I was barely pointing out the things we can do to refuse" the man said a bit scared.
I turn to look at Edmund and he smirks a bit.
"Your majesty will never refuse" a guard behind us said "We praise the courage of our new king"
I hide my smile, this plan is working. The pressure on him was even bigger now.
"You" Miraz points his sword at me "should hope your Kings sword is sharp"
I bowed and smiled at Miraz "See you then" I say and Miraz gulps.
~~~~~~~~~~
Caspian and I helped prepare Caspian's horse so that Susan and Lucy escaped.
"Hooves has always served me well, and so you are in good hands" Caspian says.
"Hooves?" Lucy and I question Caspian at the same time.
Caspian smiles as Lucy high-fived me.
I grabbed Lucy's hand and kiss it, she smiles at me.
Caspian looks at Susan with admiration "Good luck"
Susan looks at me and I wink, I point at Caspian and make kissy noises making Lucy laugh.
Susan hides her smile and looks at the wall in front of her "Thanks"
Jeez, I forgot how cold she could get with a man.
Caspian looks at me with pleading eyes. I mouth at him the word 'horn' and he nods.
"Look" he says taking the horn that brought us to Narnia from his bag "Maybe it's time to hand this back"
Susan looks to me and I raise my eyebrows.
"Maybe you should hold on to it" Susan says looking at him "Might need to call me again" Susan said with such sassiness that I needed air.
Susan looked at me and I gave her thumbs up and started to fan my face with my hands signaling she was on fire.
She bit her lip to stop her laugh and rode off with Caspian's horse.
Caspian turned to me with a smile. I nod at him "Next time don't stare at her that much" I said laughing and he chuckled.
"She likes me huh? At least a bit?" he asks and I squint my eyes.
"Yeah. She does"
~~~~~~
I walk in the room and help Peter with his armor.
"Peter, you know I am against this right?" I ask tightening his armor.
He nods.
"And there is nothing we could to avoid this right?"
He shakes his head.
I sigh and brush his blonde hair off his eyes. I touch his cheeks and he flinches "Your hands are really cold love"
I laugh nervously and I remove my hands.
"Love, once again" he says smiling "I don't mind"
I smile and peck his soft lips.
"Courage" I said with a nod.
He nods back biting his lip.
"Hey hey hey. I know that look, your nervous" I state and Peter looks to the ground.
"You don't have to be, that old man can barely hold himself with the armor" I laugh.
"And want to know the best part?" I ask and Peter frowns.
"You'll get to see his face of horror when you beat him" I say with a smile.
Trumpkin enters the room and awkwardly looks away. He clears his throat and I go back on putting his helmet on.
"It's time your majesty"
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edmund and I follow close behind Peter as he walks out of the cave. Centaurs, minotaurs, mice, etc cheered for Peter.
Peter walks with determination and I see Miraz staring at me. Peter turns to look at what he stared at and let's say he didn't like that he was looking at me.
"I am going to kill him" Peter murmurs and I turn to Edmund who was trying not to laugh.
We stopped and Peter pulled his sword out making our army cheer louder.
Miraz puts his helmet on which covered his whole face and stepped into the battle circle.
Miraz nods at me and Peter clenches his fist, he looks at me and pulls me closer.
He kisses me instantly and the army cheered again.
Peter lets go and looks at Miraz, he then also stepped into the battle circle.
"There is still time to surrender" Miraz said loudly to Peter.
"Well feel free" Peter answered. My bae is on fire right now.
I hit Edmunds chest "That is my husband" I say and Ed just touches his chest.
"How many more must die for the thrown?" Miraz said.
"Just one" Peter said to get ready to attack.
Peter ran and jumped to attack Miraz who blocked the blow with his shield.
They continued to use their shields to block the swords and Miraz hit Peter's face with his shield.
"Ouch" Ed whispers and I nod.
I was more nervous than him, I guess.
Minutes passed slowly as their swords made noises when they made impact with each other.
Peter makes a nice move leaving Miraz's back facing him.
Miraz gasped in pain and stopped to get air then turned.
Miraz swung his sword and Peter easily blocked it with his making the old man stumble back. I chuckle and nod "I taught him that"
Ed laughed at my words "As if!"
Suddenly our attention was at Peter's scream in pain as Miraz uses his shield to hit him in the face. Again.
This time Peter's helmet fell off and I gasped.
"Oh c'mon Peter" I whisper as I wrapped my hands in Ed's arm.
My blonde husband cut Miraz's leg slightly and I breathe again as he stumbles back. This gave time for Peter to stand up and regain his posture.
Once again they gave each other a war cry to then attack.
Miraz swung his sword at his protected shins, but it still made him fall to the ground.
Miraz attacked again, Peter fell to the ground on his back.
The old man places his foot on Peter's shield. Since the shield was tight against his arm when Miraz stepped in the shield it fractured his arm.
I gasp and Edmund breathes, Miraz's men chant and scream.
"Peter get up!" I scream and I scrunch my nose.
Peter screamed in pain, and swung his sword.
Peter rolled his way back blocking Miraz's sword. He made Miraz trip and it was his time to fall.
Peter stood up and starts breathing rapidly.
I look back to see Caspian and Susan come closer in a horse.
Wait. Where is Lucy?
"Five minutes?" Peter asks when Miraz said something.
Miraz breathed "Three!" he says trying to look all tough.
Peter and Miraz walk slowly to their place and I run to help Peter.
"Lucy?!" Peter asks Susan.
"She got through" Susan breathed "And I got a little help"
Peter looks at Caspian, "Thanks" he said nodding.
"Well you were busy" Caspian answers and I nod at him.
"Very, in fact you have three minutes. And I still have things to fix in your armor" I say pulling him and making him sit.
Peter looks at Susan and Caspian "You better get over at the cave, if it gets ugly, the Telmarines may not keep their word"
Susan kneels and hugs Peter, he gasps when she moves her injured arm.
"Sorry"
"It's alright" Peter said with a pained expression.
"Be careful" Susan says and runs to the cave.
I look at our army, and see their worried expressions.
"Better keep smiling Peter" I say and he looks at our crowd and he raises his sword with a fake smile.
The crowd cheered though, he finally sits back down and I take his shield off.
He gasps in pain again "I think it's dislocated" he grumbles.
I touch his arm and look what was wrong, "What do you think happens back home if you die here?" he asks and I stop to look at him.
"You know Kira, you've always been there, and-"
I pushed his arm up making a cracking sound. Peter gasped and closed his eyes, I bite my lip.
"Save it for later" I say and leave his side.
I pick his helmet up and hand it to him. He shakes his head and gulps,
"Hey, courage." I whisper to him in his ear and kiss the side of his head.
He steps to the battle circle and our people cheered.
As soon as Miraz came closed Peter attacked. Which was way to fast, Miraz blocked it and answered back with his shield hitting his sword.
Miraz kept hitting Peter with his shield and then with his sword. Peter gasped in pain and screeched. I couldn't watch anymore, I turned back to see Susan wave to get my attention.
Susan mouthed to me the words 'be strong for him'. I gulp and nod, I then give her a thumbs up.
I turn and look back to see Peter in the ground and Miraz a few feet away in the floor as well.
I turned back again to Susan and breathed, "Jeez this it just gets harder for me to see" Edmund pats my protected back with my armor.
"Kira, look now" Ed said and I turn to look at Peter take Miraz's sword away and tossing it to the ground. Miraz blocked the sword with his shield and his face of horror made it easy to know what he was thinking.
Suddenly Miraz traps Peter's sword and slaps him across the face.
Peter stumbled back in astonishment, Miraz hits Peter again with his shield and I make a noise with my throat.
"What is it with this old man and his shield?" I say and shake my head, Ed laughs and covers his eyes from the intense sun.
I gave a jump as Peter blocked the shield from hitting his face and twisting it to the left but it ended badly as Miraz pushed Peter against a rock.
This gave time for Miraz to grab a sword and swing it at Peter.
The boy blocked it and hit his injury in Miraz's leg. Miraz screamed and stumbled back.
Miraz fell to his knees and he mumbles something, making Peter stop from hitting him with the sword he picked up.
I shake my head, end it already Peter!
"There is no time for chivalry Peter!" Edmund screamed over our army's cheers.
Peter stood there hesitant to what to do. He looked up at me and I bite my lip, I desperately pass a hand through my hair.
"Peter, finish this!" I scream and he clenches his fist but then lowers it. He looks at Miraz and walks away.
Miraz suddenly stands up with a sword and Edmund gasps.
"Look out!" I scream and Peter turns around blocks his sword and yanks it away from him. Peter then stabs Miraz and he struggled to breathe instantly.
Peter pushes him back taking the sword out of his shoulder. Miraz falls to his knees and I just felt time go slowly.
"Whats the matter boy, too coward to take life?" Peter breathes in and lowers his sword.
"It's not mine to take" he says with disgust and he turn around to look at Caspian.
Caspian looks at me and I nod, he gulps and walks up to Peter to take his sword.
Peter walks up to me and I hug him, "Thank Aslan you're alright Peter" I say and he kisses the top of my head.
We both turned to look at Caspian with his sword high and ready to kill.
"Perhaps I was wrong, maybe you have the qualities to be a Telmarine king after all" Miraz looked to the ground and Caspian screamed.
I look at the ground scared at what might happen.
I turned back to look that Caspian hadn't killed Miraz, but he has stabbed the grass on the floor.
"No. I am nothing like you" Miraz looks at Caspian.
"Keep your life but I am giving the Narnian's back their kingdom" Caspian said with disgust dripping from his words.
Miraz looked at the ground thinking, Caspian looked at the Telmarine men and he turned back to us.
I bow at Caspian and he gives me small smile.
"Great job, I am proud Caspian" I say and everyone starts to cheer.
"Agh!" I heard Miraz scream and I turn to see the old man with an arrow in his gut.
"What? Where did that come from?" I say, Peter frowns and looks back.
Peter's lips part slightly "Retreat!" one of Miraz's men shouted, the man pointed at us "They shot him! They murdered our king!"
"What?" I gasp and Peter screams at Susan "Be ready!"
