Sehnsucht - Sequel to 'Sophia The Stalwart' (Peter Pevensie Love Story)

"Catapults." Edmund spoke as he stood up from the boulder that was in front of him.

"What?" Peter asked his brother in disbelief and horror.

"This didn't just happen." Ed frowned concerned. "Cair Paravel was attacked."

We all stayed silent

The boys then run over to a wall and start moving all the weeds and plants around it, to reveal adoor behind. Peter breaks part of the door down and opens it wide for us to go down but it is dark. He starts to tear off a piece of his shirt with a pocket knife and wraps it around a stick he found to the side of him.

"I don‟t suppose you have any matches in there, do you?" Peter asked, referring to the bag Ed was carrying.

"No" He spoke looking through his bag. "but would this help?"

He pulled out a torch light, which made us all begin to chuckle to ourselves.

"You might have mentioned that a bit sooner!" Peter laughed

Ed walked in first to guide us with the torch and the light that was coming out from it, Peter allowed Lucy and Susan to go in next. He looked to me and gave me a quick kiss on the lips and pulled with me with him down the steps we took. Lucy paused at the side of the stairs, grabs me to show me the sight. I smile as we see the treasure chamber, and our chests that belonged to us in the castle where we lived. We quickly rushed down the steps, making sure we did not trip and injure ourselves.

"I can't believe it." Peter gushed as he looked at our chests. "It is all still here."

We all run over to our individual chests and open the lids up, dusting off any stone and muck that was on it. Lucy pulls out a dress and turns to me and Susan smiling down at the long dress she once used to wear.

"I was so tall." She reminisced.

"Well, you were older then." I smiled as they all turned to me giggling.

"As opposed to hundreds of years later" Ed spoke with a helmet he would used to wear, which was now way to big for him. "When you‟re younger."

He makes the rest of us giggle and laugh, even more due to the massive face guard.

As I look in my chest I see my wedding dress I wore when we were in Narnia before. Lucy saw me looking sad and happy at the same time, I missed the times we used to have and missed the way me and Peter used to be.

"It will happen, again" She smiled and I hugged the wise girl.

"Hopefully" I smile and sigh.

I turn and see Peter as he blows the dust away from the item in his hands, andwe see the image of a Lion on a large gold plate. He looks up to see the statue standing behind his chest, and slowly walks towards it.

"What is it?" Lucy asks Susan as she searches for something.

"My horn." She frowns as she shuts the lid. "I must've left it on my saddle the day we went back."

Peter slowly opens his chest, takes out his sword and drawsit.

"When Aslan bears histeeth, winter meets its death." Peter reads of his sword.

"And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again."Lucy finished.

I came from behind the two of them who had began to hug each other to the side.

"Everyone we knew" I tear up. "Mr. Tumnus and the Beavers...they‟re all gone."

"I think it is time we found out what is going on." Peter instructed and shut his lid.

We were instructed by the High King to get dressed down here and we would be then ready to go and find out what has happened to this country we once new and loved. As we came out wearing our dresses and the boys wearing their outfit, we began to walk.

Meanwhile while the 5 children were walking down closer to the sea end, a small Telmarine boat was floating along with Trumpkin inside, they were getting ready to kill him under the instructions of Lord Miraz.

"He won't stop staring" One of the guards spoke as he watched Trumpkin stare at him.

"So don't look." The other snapped to him.

The dwarf however continues to stare. It grates on the soldiers mind and freaks him out; becoming agitated.

"Here is fine." He demands and they both lift Trumpkin.

Then, an arrow hits the side of the boat.

The Pevensies and Sophia run up and draw their weapons. Susan quickly puts another arrow to the string.

"Drop him!" Susan shouts, demanding they do as she says.

"Drop him?!" Trumpkin muffled in disbelief of the idiots who just said that.

With that the soldiers obeyed her word and dropped him in the sea.

(Sophia's POV)

One of the soldiers go to pick up his crossbow, and Susan shoots him. The other jumps into the water, scared and swims away.

The dwarf sinks to the bottom, and Peter dives in and pulls him to shore. Edmund pulls the boat in. Lucy cuts the dwarf's bonds with her dagger while I help the man to breath, sitting him up for his air passages to get working again.

He pulls the gag off sputtering out water.

"Drop him?! That is the best you can come upwith?" He shouts to us.

"A simple thank-you would suffice." Susan retorted.

"They were doing fine drowning me without your help." He argued.

"Maybe we should have let them." Peter snapped.

"Peter!" I whisper yelled, nudging him; earning a glare from him.

"Why were they trying to kill you anyway?" I asked avoiding awkwardness; standing up beside the others.

"They are Telmarines." He spoke. "That‟s what they do."

"Telmarines? In Narnia?" Ed questioned.

Telmarines did not sound too pleasant.

"Where have you been for the last few hundred years?" He snapped clearly annoyed.

"It‟s a bit of a long story." Lucy smiled unsure of how he would react.

I handed Peter's sword back to him. Trumpkin notices the hilt and looks up at Peter. He surveys the five of us, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me." He groaned "You‟re it? You‟re the kings and queens of old?"

"High King Peter" He offered his hand to him but the dwarf ignored it. "the Magnificent."

"You probably could have left out the last bit." I say as I roll my eyes at his cockiness

"Probably." The dwarf chuckles to what I said.

"You might be surprised." Peter draws his sword challenging him.

Here we go again.

"Oh, you don‟t want to do that, boy." The man says.

"Not me." Peter assures and points to Ed. "Him."
