Chapter 3 ♛ Forgiveness

Adriana's Pov
"A beaver?" Harold says and I nod. I went to Harold's Café after my little event at the park. I have no idea how to even explain it without me sounding like a complete idiot.

"Yes, I swear I saw it. It like pointed the way" I say and he raises an eyebrow.

"You were probably just seeing things darling" he says and I let out a deep breath, he's right. There's no way I could have seen a beaver.

"Have you seen Edmund today?" I ask, just out of curiosity.

"Yes, a while ago. He was looking for you actually" he says.

I guess that means he doesn't totally hate me. "Do you know where he's going?" I ask and he shakes his head.

"I think you need some rest, it will calm you down" he says and I agree.

I barely slept last night, even after reading a little bit of the book. I walk out of the café and back to my apartment.

I pull out the book and open it to the next page.

"You have a traitor in your midst Aslan" she says slyly.

"His offence was not against you" Aslan calmly says looking forward.

Traitor? What does she mean by that? "Have you forgotten the laws which Narnia was built?" she asks.

"Do not!" Aslan lets out a mighty roar, "recite the deep magic to me Witch. I was there when it was written" he says.

"Then you'll remember well" she pauses, "that the traitor belongs to me. His blood is my property" she says.

"Try and take him" a voice says and I look over. It's a boy holding out a sword, he has blonde hair, looks to be about 18 maybe, he's beside a younger boy, he has dark brown almost black hair, he looks to be around my age, and beside him is a little girl, 10 maybe 11 at the most, she has short brown hair and freckles on her cheeks, and beside her is another girl with beautiful long brown hair, she looks older than me but younger than the boy with blonde hair. I wonder who they are?

"Do you really think mere force will deny me my right? She asks and the boy puts his sword away, "little king" she says.

Little king? What does she mean by little king? Then I realize they're the 2 sons of Adam and 2 daughters of Eve!

The boy with dark hair looks at me and I quickly look away, I didn't mean to stare at them. "Aslan knows that unless I have blood, as the law demands, Narnia will be overturned and perished in fire and water!" She states and everyone starts to gasp.

"That boy!" She says and points to the dark haired boy, "will die on the stone table. As is tradition" and everyone starts to talk.

"You dare not refuse me" she loudly says, Aslan looks at her and says, "enough. I will speak with you alone" and they both walk into the tent.

I close the book and set it down on the table. Again. It happened again. The weird flashback thing. Every time I read this book it happens and I have no idea what it means.

The thing is this time, the flashback wasn't the weirdest part. The other people I saw, they looked exactly like Peter, Susan, Lucy, and Edmund, but younger. And they are kings and queens? Sons of Adam and daughters of Eve? And Aslan's voice sounded just like the man from the café.

But why would I see them? The characters are James, Sandra, Janet, and Thomas Richardson. And it's like I'm seeing everything through Ella Chapel's eyes. It's like I'm her.

No. It couldn't be. I shake the weird though out of my head and walk to my kitchen to get something to eat. For a second I thought that I am Ella Chapel. Yeah I know, crazy. How could I, it's a weird magical world, that can't that be real.

Could it? I walk over to the table and pick up the book again and flip to the next page. But before I can read anything, there was a knock on the door.

Edmund's Pov
I took the advice from Harold, and I hope this works. This better work, because if it doesn't, I have no clue what else to do, and I will probably lose Adriana.

Okay, just up the stairs. To the door. Where Adriana is, I hope. W- what if she thinks it's weird, what if she thinks I'm weird. No, this is a bad idea, terrible idea I— no Edmund. Stop.

I take a deep breath in and shake my head. I am doing this. I walk up the steps and take another deep breath and knock on the door.

Please be home.

I hear the door unlock, it opens and I see Adriana. Thank god. "Edmund? What are you doing here?" She asks.

Okay, here we go. I take the bouquet of flowers out from behind my back and I see a smile appear on her face. "Adriana, I know you're going through a lot right now and I shouldn't have acted the way I did last night, it was stupid. I was stupid. And I regret everything I said, I didn't mean any of it. I just want what's best for you and I don't know what to do, but I will help. I promise, because I'm not leaving you. I will never leave you because.... because I love you" I say and it's like a giant weight was lifted off my shoulders.

"Now I know that it will take time for you to hopefully feel the same, and I'm okay with that. I get it, and I will wait. I'll help you though this" I say and she stands there at the door, not moving, with the same surprised expression on her face.

A smile then appears on her face and she takes the flowers out of my hands and I let out a sigh of relief. "You can come in" she says and I nod and step inside.

I watch as she walk over to her kitchen and gets a vase and fills it up with water and gently places the flowers inside.

"You're welcome to proceed past the front door Edmund" she laughs and I smile and take off the coat and shoes.

I walk towards her and she walks towards me. "Adriana I'm sorry again about all this, I feel terrible an—", but what she does catches me off guard.

It's something I thought wouldn't happen for a while. Something that makes me have to do a double take. Something I've missed.

Her lips on mine.
