Dancing In The Rain - A Edmund Pevensie Fanfiction

Chapter 19: Of Course I'm Mad

Ella's POV

I slowly opened my eyes as I felt a strong arm around my waist. I turned my head around to find Ed's warm eyes gazing at me softly.

"Morning, Sunshine" He whispered placing a soft kiss on the temple of my head.

"Morning," I replied, smiling widely.

Here I was.

In a cave.

In the arms of King Edmund the Just.

Even though we didn't fall asleep like this, we must have found our way to each other then stayed like that the rest of the night. I smiled and then remembered that there was a war on its way to Narnia "Come on, Ed. We should get up. Jadin's followers won't be far behind." I said as I tried to pry his arm off me.

"Aw, I'm sure a couple more seconds won't hurt anyone." He whispered into my ear, tightening his arm around my waist.

I was about to protest again when he started kissing my neck softly. I giggled a bit when he reached the soft, sensitive part under my ear. As he did this we heard a voice that completely shocked us both.

"Oooh. Susan, I told you it was bound to happen!"

We both immediately jumped up at the sound of Lucy's voice. It was unmistakable that it was her.

There they were.

The three royals on their horses, watching us.

Peter dismounted from his horse and walked up to us calmly. We both looked down sheepishly.

"Hello," Edmund mumbled.

"Hello, Ed. Ella. It's good to see you two are safe." He spoke very calmly.

"Y-you mean you're...not...mad?" Edmund cautiously asked.

"Mad? Me? No! Why would I...OF COURSE IM MAD!" He bellowed.

I winced at how harshly and suddenly he yelled those four words. I had never seen Peter so red in the face before."EDMUND PEVENSIE HOW DARE YOU JUST RUN OFF LIKE THAT?"

"I'm s-sorry Pete. I-I just..."

"YOU JUST WHAT? I TOLD YOU TO JUST STAY IN THE CASTLE. WHEN WILL EVER LEARN TO JUST DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD!"

"P-Peter. It wasn't his fault..."

"STAY OUT OF THIS ELLA!"

"PETER!" Edmund finally snapped. "You can get angry at me if you want. But don't you dare raise your voice at Ella. She hasn't done anything! It was all me!"

I just stared at Edmund with my mouth hung open. That was the first time I had ever seen Edmund get so angry at his brother. As Edmund continued glaring daggers at Peter, Peter just took in a deep breath.

"Okay. I'm sorry Ella. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. And Edmund...I just...we were just really worried about you. Do you know how scared I was for you when I read that note you left?" Peter said.

Before Edmund could respond, Peter pulled him into a hug. At first, Ed just stood there awkwardly, but soon returned the hug. I could tell he rarely expressed his love for his siblings.

"You're my baby brother, Ed. I just want you to be safe." Peter whispered as he pulled away.

"And I just wanted Ella to be safe, Pete. That's why I left." Edmund replied softly.

Peter glanced behind him at his sisters, who were smiling at him, before turning to me and hugging me tightly.

"Oh, Peter. I missed you too." I giggled.
