Looking for Narnia

Chapter 13- The Goodbye

Another update! Enjoy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
At 9 we were in the garden waiting for Aslan with Susan.
" Well Lucy and Ed are late" I said as I saw Aslan come closer to us.
"He only wanted to meet us 3" Susan says and she kneels. I frown and kneel as well.
"Raise my children" he says and we all stand up.
"Goodmorning Aslan, may I ask why you met us so early today?" I ask and Aslan nods.
"Walk with me, and you'll know"
As we walked through the halls of the outside of the castle the day became more gray. My eyes were watery and I was shaking as Aslan explained to us something important that would change my life completely.
"Your majesty?" Aslan says and we turn to look at Caspian.
Caspian looked at a sad Susan and Susan's eyes watered even more. Caspian then looks at me and I look at the ground wiping a tear off my cheek.
"We are ready" he nods and I look up at Susan who was almost crying "We are all waiting"
Caspian backs up and we keep walking with Aslan in silence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Narnia belongs to the Narnians as much as it does to men, everyone who wants to stay or leave are welcome to" Caspian says to the crowd underneath the stairs.
The siblings and I were standing on top of the stairs with Aslan and Caspian and I breathed to not break down in that moment.
I grabbed Peters hand to have strength and he gave me a sad smile which didn't help a lot.
"Everyone who wishes to leave Aslan can return you to the land of our ancestors" Caspian ended.
"It's been generations since we left Telma" a man in the crowd said.
Aslan blinked "We are not referring to Telma you ancestors were pirates  that ended in an island. There they found a cave, a rare magic brought them here, the world you left behind is the same as the kings and queens" I frown and look at Susan.
A cave that brought them here? That is something new and amazing.
"To that island I can return you, it's a good place to the ones who wish to make a new start" Aslan said and the crowd looks around seeing who had the courage to go into the new world.
"I'll go, I will accept the offer" the man who didn't kill me in the battle field said.
Everyone gasped and murmured, I was glad he wanted a fresh start.
Caspian nodded at him and the man came closer to the stairs.
"So will we" Caspian's aunt, the wife of Miraz and an old man said.
The woman was carrying Miraz's baby and I stared at their excited but scared expression.
"Because you have spoken first your future in that world shall be good" Aslan says and gently blows on their faces. I nod and smile, it's good to know they will be okay.
The tree behind us started moving and untwisting itself. It revealed a gap large enough for a man to go through.
Everyone gaped at the tree and murmured some more.
The three adults and baby walked to the tree and stopped to breathe. Suddenly they step into the gap and disappear into thin air.
I gasped and gulped, that is amazing. Aslan never fails to amaze me.
People were gasping and talking and the atmosphere was now loud "How do we know he is not leading us to our deaths?" a man said and the crowed agreed with him.
"Sir, if I can be of any service, I will take some of my most loyal companions and we'll go through with no delay" Reepechip said and Peter looks at me with a small smile.
Aslan then looks at us, I gaze at the ground with a frown trying to keep myself together.
Peter steps up still holding my hand "We'll go" Peter said and I nod.
Edmund frowns "We will?"
"Come on, times up" Peter said looking at his sisters and brother.
Peter let's go of my hand and I gulp "After all" Peter walks to Caspian "we are not needed here anymore"
Peter gives his sword to Caspian and I smile. It's true, we are not needed here any more.
"I will look after it until you return" Caspian said confidently and a tear rolls down my cheek.
"I am afraid that's just it" I say and everyone's attention was on me.
"We are not coming back Caspian" Susan ends what I started and I look at the ground.
"We are not?" Lucy asks in disbelief.
Peter walks back to me and I grab his hand again.
"You two are" Peter said to Edmund and Lucy.
"At least he means you two" I say and look at Aslan.
"But why? Did they do something wrong?" Lucy questioned Aslan.
"Quite the opposite young one, but all things have their time" Aslan says.
"Your brother, sister and Kira have learned what they can from this world, now its time for them to live on their own"
I look at Lucy and I kneel beside her "It's alright Lu, it's not like I thought it would be, but its alright" I say taking her hands on mine "One day you'll see too"
I smiled and she nods. I stand up and I walk her to say goodbye to our fellow soldiers.
I bow at Trufflehunter and kneel, I smile and give him a tight hug.
"Don't cry, someone as beautiful as you should not be seen like that" he says.
He wipes a tear off of my cheeks and I reach for my blades wrapped up in their leather bag.
"I want you to have them" my voice cracked and Trufflehunter gasped.
"Oh no my queen. It's too much for me--"
"Trufflehunter, I have no use of them anymore. I need you to stay with them and remember what I did" I say in the bridge of tears "I need you to tell my story" I ended and he nods taking the large blades on his hands.
I stood up and bowed one last time at the rest of our friends and turn to say goodbye to Caspian.
"I am glad I came back" Susan said and Caspian stared at her beauty.
"I wish we had more time together"
"We never would have worked out anyway" Susan said gulping.
"Why not?" Caspian asked.
"I am thirty hundred years older than you" Susan said and I smiled.
Caspian smiled too and Susan gave a step towards me but stopped.
She looked at me and I smiled sadly, she looked at the ground then turned back to kiss Caspian on the lips.
I covered my lips with my hands and laughed at the cute scene. At the end they hugged and I smiled down at Lucy.
"I guess when I am older I'll understand" Lucy said with disgust and I chuckle.
"I am older and I still don't understand" Edmund said and I rolled my eyes at him.
I walk up to Caspian and he just stared at me "I wish we had time to have a sword fight" I said laughing and Caspian chuckles.
"I know, I would have defeated you" Caspian said and I frown.
"As if!" I say laughing and then we just look at each other with a smile.
"I wish I could stay" I said and Caspian hugs me tightly.
"Oh my... Don't cry"
"I will miss you" I say and look at him in the eyes.
His eyes were watery and he nods "I will miss you too."
"Tell you kids how awesome High King Peter's wife was okay?" I say pointing at him and he nods with a smile.
I walk back next to Edmund and all the sibling give me a sad look.
"I will miss you guys too" I say and Edmund gives me a tight hug.
"Edmund promise me that when you come back and Caspian is here, give him a tight hug okay?" I say and Ed nods and kisses my cheek.
Lucy's eyes were red and I grab her tiny body and hug her tight.
"Pinky promise that we'll see again?" she asks and I look at Aslan. He looks at the ground and smiles.
"Pinky promise beautiful" I say and turn to Susan.
Susan gives me a tight hug and I release some tears. "You have to promise me that you'll stay beautiful and smart, and never look back. Because it hurts so much"
Susan nods and I could sense that she was crying too.
"Promise me that you'll be there for Peter. For Ed. For Lucy" I said looking at her face "Promise me Susan!" I say sobbing and she nods while crying.
I regain my posture and kiss the side of her head.
As I turned to look at Peter, my eyes watered again. I took my hands on his and smiled.
"Courage" I said and he nods many times with his eyes closed and his lip trembling.
I then kiss him softly and the crowd 'aws'.
Peter responded quickly and I hug him tightly.
"Peter promise me you'll move on" I said and Peter shakes his head.
"Peter" I say and I wipe a tear of his cheek "Promise me you'll keep studying and stop getting into fights okay?"
Peter takes something from is bag and I look at his hands. They were our engagement rings from thirty hundred years ago.
I close my eyes and smile, all the good memories rushing back to me, I love this man and I'll always will.
"Kira, I, Peter Pevensie promise to never forget you. You are the love of my life, even if you have a weird accent" he says laughing and I roll my eyes.
"Your accent is weirder" I say laughing as well.
Peter slides the ring in my finger "This is sweet but when I go back it's going to disappear" I say and Peter looks at Aslan.
"I dont care, Happy Birthday Kira" he says and I smile.
"You remembered but that was days ago" I shake my head and he smiles.
"When you go back it will still be your birthday" he says and I nod
Aslan comes closer and blows on my head.
"The ring won't disappear when you go home. It will stay in your finger-" I squeal and hug Aslan.
Aslan laughs "Happy Birthday Kira"
I nod and kiss Peter one last time.
"It's time to go" Susan says and she grabs my hands.
"I'll leave first" I say to Aslan and he bows.
I walk to the tree and look back. They wave and Caspian bows.
"You should visit the U.S. guys, it's beautiful" I say and Lucy smiles.
"London is rainy" Lucy says and I laugh.
"Good luck my child" Aslan said and he looked sad as he gave me a weak smile.
I looked one more time at the siblings "Take care of Peter for me Lu!" I shout while waving and passing the tree gap.
My stomach suddenly starts hurting and I am engulfed in a tornado of light and wind.
I scream as the light suddenly hurts my eyes and then the whole tornado stopped.
I opened my eyes and saw the graveyard my mother was buried at. I gasp for air and my lips started trembling, I couldn't stop myself from sobbing.
I will miss those Pevensies with all my heart.
But the thing that hurt the most is not returning to Narnia. Narnia was my world not this one.
I heard footsteps and I look up to see my psychologist smiling sadly down at me. She cleared her throat and extended her hand for me to take it.
The day was dull and the smell of the humid dirt filled my nose.
"I saw you crying from the car and I just couldn't stay in there without telling you it was all going to be okay" she says softly and I nod.
I look down at the dress I was wearing when I woke up in the orphanage. The blue flowers Cameron gave me were in the ground and I picked them up.
"Time and tragedy has forced you to grow too quickly Kira--"
"I am okay now" I say with confidence.
I put the blue flowers in front of my mothers grave and breathed. I kissed my fingers to then press my fingers in the stone with her name.
"Thank you for taking me here" I say and smile, I pat her shoulder and walk to her car.
My psychologist finally got inside the car and drove off to the orphanage.
She glanced at my hand every now and then and when she parked in front of the orphanage she frowned.
"The ring. Its beautiful, where did you get it from?"
I look down and see the ring Peter gave in Narnia. Aslan kept his promise, I am back in my world with the ring.
"It was a present an old friend gave me a long time ago" I say smiling down at it.
Yeah, that friend was Peter, and a long time ago was a few minutes back, thats what I wanted to say but I couldn't.
I just smiled at her and made my way inside the orphanage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ever since I was a little girl I hated this ending, but somehow Aslan was right. my loves don't worry the story is NOT over yet.
So yeah, thanks for reading!
