I woke up to utter darkness. I must have woken up in the middle of the night.

I drew my knees to my chest as I sat up straight. Well, it's no use sitting here in the dark.

I snapped my fingers and the lamps in my room instantly ignited themselves.

My room flooded with a reddish light and I saw my furniture.

Now I'm sitting here being useless. What to do?

I could stay here, or go do something. Staying here means being lonely, and leaving means company. Going. Now were to go?

I could see if one of the others are awake, if not, I could go to the library.

I slipped out of bed and strolled across my room to my door and stood in the dark passageway.

I turned left and counted out my paces till I reached Lucy's room.

I quietly creaked the door open and saw Lucy fast asleep in her bed. I closed the door and walked to Suzan's room.

She too was asleep, with her hair standing like an afro around her head.

After closing the door I saw Edmund sneaking out of his room.

"What are you doing?" I whisper shouted.

He seemed to have a heart attack on the spot and nearly crashd into the wall.

"I could ask you the same thing!" He whisper shouted back.

I walked up to him and whispered "Couldn't sleep. You?"

"Got up to prank everybody." He said proudly.

"Vandalisim of property is illegal you know!" I whisper shouted.

"Do their faces count as property?" He asked taking out a permanent marker.

"Number 328: Do not disrespect anyone." I quoted.

"Buzz kill." He said and started walking down the corridore.

"Were are you going?" I asked crossing my arms.

"I'm going to the kitchens."

"Why?"

"Duh, that's were they keep the food."

"But still, why?"

"I'm hungry."

"Hungry or peckish?"

"Same thing. You coming?"

I sighed and walked after Edmund down to the kitchens.

"Thank you for comeing. No were do you prupose they keep the food?" Edmund asks.

"Firstly, someone has to keep you out of trouble and second, in the spence." I replied with a sigh.

Edmund took out chocolate chip cookies.

"I am praying right now that those are not for the correnation tomorrow and that those are peices of chocolate." I said with wide eyes.

Edmund put a cookie in his mouth and sat cross-legged on the counter. I rolled my eyes and took a cookie.

"Did you like kissing Peter?" Edmund asked after swallowing his cookie.

I nearly choked on mine. "What?"

"You like kissing him didn't you." Edmund said formulating an evil grin.

"Okay. Wow. Why do you of all people care?" I asked looking at him.

"Cause. A, he is my brother and a blind man can see that he likes you, and B, basically everyone in Narnia ships you two."

"Aslan doesn't."

"Oh, he does. He told me not to say anything."

"Then why did you?"

"To prove my point."

After bickering like sisters for two hours, they decided to retreat back to their room and solve this situation later.
