The Chosen One

Ch. 13 Nothing Lasts Forever

Lucy fell asleep in my room last night after our conversation. I still do not know what I feel towards the two Kings. Both of them have kept me safe, both send shivers down my spine, both make my heart beat fast and my cheeks heat up. However there is friction between Peter and I. Peter has been quite harmless until meeting my brother. They dislike each other and they both know it. Then again, I am not very fond of Queen Susan. So I will let it slide that Peter doesn't like Caspian. Edmund is another story. There is no friction between us, we are one with each other. He wants the best for everyone despite what he feels. I just don't know what to feel when I am around them.
    I notice Caspian sitting outside of the Howe. I sit beside him. Not a word is spoken, just being together is all we need in the moment.
    "Terrain?" I hum in response, "From what we read in the history books about the Kings and Queens of Old, they were magnificent. Now, being here and meeting them, they are not at all what I had expected."
    "What did you expect?"
    "For one, they would be older. Two, for them to be thoughtful, and for them to always put others before themselves."
    "Are we talking about all the Kings and Queens, or just Peter?"
    "King Peter." He sighs before asking another question. "Why do you call him Peter, without the king in front? Same goes for Edmund and Lucy. Why do you only put the Queen in front of Susan?"
    "Well I guess I never really got to know Queen Susan that well and the others were just so kind and Ed told me not to call him "King Edmund" because he doesn't like it."
    "Ed?! Why do you call him that?" Caspian stands up, towering over me.
    "He lets me because he is a nice person unlike the one you being right now!!!" I run back into the Howe, tears threatening to spill from my eyes. Wiping my eyes, I bump into someone.
    "Terrain, are you alright?" I recognize the voice instantly. Looking up to see Peter I nod my head. "You don't look alright. What happened?" He takes my hands into his. They are not as soft as Ed's, but still mold perfectly with his.
    "We should have a meeting whether to storm Miraz's castle or not. I vote we go. Take him by surprise as the soldiers that should be guarding the castle will be marching towards the Howe," I say looking at the ground.
    He lifts my chin up, with his right hand making me look into his piercing blue eyes. "We will have a meeting right after you tell me what's wrong." I nod indicating I will tell him. He leads me into his room where we sit on his bed. I tell him everything that happened between Caspian and I. I can tell he is listening to everything I had say because his face contorts a couple times at the mention of his name and Ed's.
    "Siblings fight. But sooner or later you'll forgive and forget. Trust me on this. Edmund and I weren't always nice towards each other. The first time we came to Narnia and even before then, we always fought. Edmund would always make Lucy feel bad to make himself feel better. And I would always tell Susan and Ed off because I didn't want to speak to them. What I am saying is, it gets better."
    I give Peter and hug and thank him. After our talk, we go tell the Narnians to arrange for a meeting, one to hopefully rid us from Uncle Miraz's rule.
