Haunting - Edmund Pevensie

Part 15

A/N: Hello! As you can tell I've been working on this part for a while and because of the long wait I've made this chapter a little bit longer:) please be aware that I hate not updating as regularly as I used to but school work keeps piling up and I need to put my education first. This is my first year where I'll be taking exams so you's can understand the stress. I promise I'll try and update as soon as I possibly can but until then, I hope you have a great day:)

Everyday Sasha has trained with Edmund with Sword Fighting. Of course it was only wooden swords but the training was more difficult than Sasha had first anticipated.

She was meeting with Edmund this morning to continue her lessons. Sasha walked into the hall with Arkin by her side, as usual. She watched him make his way to a spot in the corner of the room where he got comfy and lay while he waited until they finished their training. Her eyes then travelled to Edmund's for a moment before she found that Peter was there too. Sasha frowned in confusion as she looked at Edmund then Peter.

"In a battle you will never be faced with just one opponent. You could be surrounded and have to fight your way out. Three enemies could go against you at once. Peter is here so we can teach you how to cope under that pressure" Edmund explained. Sasha noticed that he wasn't wearing his sling anymore, implying that his arm was better. Her eyes then wondered to his dark hair. In the sunlight it was merely just a brunette colour but at night when they walk down the corridors after dinner,which have little light, she has noticed that his hair could look almost black.

She found that she was staring for just a little bit too long before she gave a small determined smile, hoping that Edmund, nor Peter for that matter of fact, had caught her staring at him.

Edmund did notice though. He looked at her and gave her a subtle smirk which caused her cheeks to flush a light shade of red.

Peter handed her a wooden sword and she took it and looked between the Kings. "So, where do we start?" Sasha asked.

"Remember what I've taught you so far. Use all of what you've learned, but since there's two opponents instead of one you'll need to be more cautious. More aware. You need to be ten steps ahead." Edmund spoke in a serious tone. He watched as Sasha got in a fighting stance.

"Come at me" she tilted her head giving the Young King a slight smirk with playful eyes as she gripped the handle of the training sword tighter.

Edmund stared at her, wide eyed. Only for a moment. He shifted his feet as he replayed what just happened in his brain. The way she tilted her head and looked at him, there wasn't just playfulness in her eyes but a flirtatious glint. He also went over the smirk. That smirk that took him off guard, he found it attractive. Of course he found Sasha attractive but this was a different kind of attraction, that look and that smirk was, in his opinion, seductive.

He quickly snapped out of his thoughts and pushed them to the right back of his mind as he noticed Peter start to circle Sasha. Edmund did the same and Sasha stood sideways so she could see both of the King's.

She studied them both and watched their every move. As she looked at Peter it looked as if he was waiting for the perfect moment to attack. Sasha turned her head to Edmund, hoping that Peter would make his move.

She heard Peter take a step forward and before she turned around she gave Edmund a sly smile. She swung her sword hard as she spun around and just as she predicted, Peter had made his move as his sword was in the air aimed for Sasha.

Their swords clashed and Peter was amazed by her strength. He aimed for her again but Sasha used her foot to trip him up and he tumbled to the ground with a loud thud. Sasha quickly faced Edmund who was trying to be stealthy and sneak up on her but he was too slow.
