Darkest of Hearts

Chapter Nineteen|The Great Cat's Return

  Lily sat behind Lucy on the house and Susan held the reins. Lily held back a laugh at what Susan had told Caspian when he tried to give her back the horn.
  "You might need to call me again" Lucy asked in a sarcastic tone.
  "Oh shut up" Susan told her. "And Lilianna Cale don't you dare make an comment if you want to keep your tongue."
  "Hey" Lily said in a defensive tone "I was only going to say it could have been worse"
  "How could it have been worse" Susan asked.
  "Love triangle" Lily told her "I speak from watching my brother's love to close. Bad idea but it was either that or hang out at my father's company."
   "Hold on I'm confused" Lucy said. "What's a love triangle?"
  "You don't want to know" Susan warned her.
  "They suck" Lily said at the same time.

  Lily, Lucy and Susan rode through the woods an Telmarines spotted them. Susan stopped he horse and jumped off handing Lucy the reins.
  "What are you doing?" Lucy ask her.
   "I'm sorry Lucy" Susan told her "but it looks like you and Lily are going on your own." Susan then looking at Lily "keep her safe." Lily gave her a quick nod before the oldest queen slapped the horse butt so it would take off.
  The two queens rode away with a quick glance back at Susan before having to leave her behind. Lily held tight to Lucy. She known she need to keep the twelve year old queen safe like she promised.
  "Are you ever going to tell them" Lucy asked startling Lily for moment before she realised Lucy was asking if she was going to tell Susan, Ed and Peter about the league and her bloodlust.
  "After we save Narnia" Lily told her. "Are you going to help?"
  "Of course" Lucy said. "Your practically my sister."
   Lily laughed slightly as the continued on in hopes of finding the great lion. After a little while a Telmarine soldier caught up to them and as Lily was about to jump of the back of the horse to fight him off a lion appeared in front of the horse which knocked Lucy and Lily off it's back before running away but luckily for the girls he lion leaped at the Telmarine soldier.
  "Aslan" Lily and Lucy shouted in unison tackling the lion.
  "Lucy, Lily I've missed you to" Aslan told them laying down in front of them ad they sat on the ground.
  "Where have you been" Lucy asked. "Why haven't you come to save the day again like last time."
  "Thing's never happen the same way twice" Aslan told her. "Now what keep you from coming to me?"
  "I don't know" Lucy said. "I guess I was just scared of going alone."
  "Lucy, if you asked I would have gone with you" Lily said.
  "But you didn't believe me either" Lucy said.
   "Lu, do think I would have trust you with my secret had not believed in you" Lily told her. "Just like you believed in Aslan."
  "She is right my dear child" Aslan said. "Your brothers, sister and Lily believe in you more then anything. And Lily, child you no longer have to live with the burden of have to kill another to live"
  "W...." Lily began to ask before the lion breathed on her taking away her bloodlust.
