The Chosen One

Ch. 12 In Love?

As we enter the Howe, all we can see are Narnians constructing weapons for battle. "It may not be what you are used to, but it is defensible," Caspian states.

"Peter," Queen Susan says from across the room, "You may want to see this." We follow the queen as she leads us down the halls of old. There are carvings along the walls, telling the story of how the Kings and Queens defeated the White Witch, Jadis, 1300 years ago. Peter grabs a torch to see the carvings, inspecting them. "Its us."

"What is this place?" Lucy asks my brother.

"You don't know?" My brother questions. The siblings give a blank stare towards him, confused at what this place is. Caspian grabs a torch from the wall and leads us down the hall. As we arrive at the end, I take the torch from Peter and place it in the oil that surrounds the chamber of Aslan. Looking back at the siblings, their eyes grew wide with amazement. The light lit only half of the Kings faces making them look even more dashing than they already are.

Right in the middle of the chamber, lay the Stone table that Aslan died, and came back to life on. And a carving of him, behind the table.

Lucy begins to walk up to the table, and touches the edge. "He must know what he's doing."

"I think it's up to us now." Peter states, faces his siblings before looking to me. My face begins to heat up. Before Peter could see, I turn my head to face the carving of Aslan.

"Let us get some rest, tomorrow we can start to plan our attack." I say before leaving the chamber. Caspian shows the Kings and Queens there rooms, while I'm already in mine. Before I go to sleep I hear a knock at my door. "Come in."

"Hello Terrain." Lucy says as she walks through the doorframe.

"Hello Lucy."

"I just came in here to apologize for the way Peter has been acting."

"Why are you apologizing?"

"Well I thought that he was being rather rude to Caspian, and thought that it hurt your feelings. However they seem to be getting along now. But I know Peter. And he hasn't been the same since we left Narnia."

"Oh Lucy there is no need to apologize. I understand where Peter and my brother is coming from. Peter used to rule, be high king. And now someone is in his place and he is putting so much pressure on himself to bring back the old Narnia."

"Who told you that?"

"Ed."

"So now he's Ed?" Lucy says while smiling. I pick her up and toss her on my bed, while she laughs. "Do you like him?" she suddenly asks, out of nowhere.

"He's a very fine person yes."

"That's not what I meant." I just stayed there in silence. Not knowing what to say to an 12 year old girl. "What about Peter?"

"What?"

"Do you like Peter?" I took both of Lucy's hands in my own.

"I don't quite understand what I feel. I know I feel something for both of them. I also understand that the feeling is different with each of them." I look into Lucy's brown eyes. "Understand this Lucy, if I fall in love with one, I lose the other."
