The prophecies of Narnia

Chapter 20

Peter's P. O. V

Over past few days the entire camp has had a growing worry about the white witch, Lucy, Susan, and Edmund have been avoiding me and the only person I have been talking to is Crystal. I still reminisce on that fight with Edmund, a part of me believes him but the idea breaks my heart. I walk into Crystal's tent to find...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

no, it's impossible............

the white witch shapeshifts into Crystal. I try to make no sudden movements and succeed with my state of shock. The adrenaline starts flowing through my veins and I run as fast as I can to my siblings. No one was in their tents, and everyone was on the training grounds, I saw Edmund sword-fighting with a centaur, Susan was practicing with her bow, and Lucy and Aiden were talking with Aslan. I pull Ed aside from training and tell him about what I saw. His face was a mixture of concern and empathy. ''Peter, I'm sorry, but we will find Crystal, you will see her again. The others already know, but make sure she doesn't find out that you know. As long as Crystal's staff is kept safe and protected Crystal will be fine. My eyes widened, and my head started spinning, I didn't know that I was running and hear concerned shouts from Edmund, I run into Crystal's tent and it is frozen completely on the outside as it is on the inside. When everyone is caught up with me, they all start bombarding me with questions, and then I ask Aiden where's Crystal's staff. ''It's in my tent, safely locked up'' he replied. Aiden and I immediately run to his tent, to hopefully find that the staff is safe and sound. We run into the tent and Aiden goes to open a secret compartment with his powers, he seems stiff and shocked, I walk calmly to his side hoping for the best and see that the box is empty, with a note. 

It reads:

''By the time you are reading this note, you will have finally uncovered the truth. Yes, I, the white witch have been parading around as Crystal, you fools will never win this war, winter will be cast eternally in this wretched land and I'll be its ruler. Watch out light one, you will never protect those you love, you are but a mere child who will not even know life. The staffs of fire and water will be broken and true love will be lost forever. You will never find the real Crystal, she is soon to be dead, and will die with the thought of no one loving her. The war of good and evil is soon to come, be prepared.''

''Aslan, let me gather a search party to find Crystal'' I begged Aslan. ''Peter, we must be cautious with our decisions, your mind is at an uneasy state and you can make horrible decisions. We will find Crystal, win this war, and Lucy will defeat the white witch'' I knew Aslan was right and trying to make me calm down, but I couldn't think clearly at the time, everything was messed up. I couldn't bear to imagine the loneliness that Crystal was going to, but I know everything is going to be okay.

Edmund's P.O.V

I was just a child being sent away to be safe from war and then find myself in another, with everyone I love endangered. I missed my father, I wish he was with me, he always looks on the bright side of things even in the worst situations. I have been training non-stop, ready to face my selfish mistakes and correct my wrongs. I'm sure everyone hates me right now, everyone is always hating me, they don't know me. I have been going through the books found in the frozen tent and Aslan somehow thawed them from the white witch's magic, there's a total of seven books, Aslan said that each book has their own specific purpose. I don't think the craziness of everything that has been going on has settled in my mind yet. I walk over to Lucy trying to be a concerned brother for once, and she is just a little girl facing a witch. She seemed deep though because she clearly didn't see me approaching and was focused on her dagger, which seemed big in her little hands. ''Hey, Lu, what are you thinking?'' I asked. ''A lot of things, Ed, a lot'' she faintly whispered. I can't imagine the pressure she's feeling right now, ever since she learned she's the light one she gets constant reminders of her being the only one who can save the white witch. ''You know Lucy you are on brave girl, taking on an evil woman'' I said trying to cheer up, I tried to be like my father in that moment and look at the bright sides of this situation even though there seemed to be none. ''I don't feel brave, I feel like a coward and a failure, we don't even know where Crystal is and what is a search party going to do, I bet that witch used some magic to lock up Crystal, she can even maybe dead, for all we know. '' She didn't sound like my little sister, all I saw was a dark shadow. I sat down beside her on the grass, and wrapped a comforting arm around her, she leaned on my shoulder and heaved a sigh. ''I'm scared Ed, I don't know what to do. Mum sent us away to be safe and here we end up in another war, that may be fake to the rest of the world. I never imagined I would have to kill somebody, especially an evil sorceress, who is very cruel. Everyone is counting on me, me, a little girl who just lets her imagination run wild. I feel alone. '' I've never seen Lucy like this, usually, I'm the depressed kid in the family, and she's the positive and always cheerful child. ''Lucy, not any of us thought we would come into a magical world of talking animals, magic, and fairies but here we are. You may not feel like it right now but you are stronger than you lead on, and when people are in need, your true power will come out and help them because you are a good person, and I bet that's what the universe had in store for you. You are not alone, we are all scared but we have each other, each other's love and that's stronger than any weak ice magic''. She smiled at me and I was surprised at the encouraging words coming out of my mouth. She got up and went to Aslan and Aiden for more training.
