We walked forward and peter sheathed his sword as we walked forward. Mr and mrs beaver were cutely holding hands and I smiled sadly at it because even though me and peter aren't together but I wanted that for us and I saw Arabella looking down, defeated that she thinks that will never happen to her and Edmund. I walked over to her and stopped her

"You okay Ara?" I asked and she looked at me like I was mad

"you haven't called me that for years, since..." she trailed off thinking about when I last called her that. I stopped ever since my little sister, the last little bit of my broken heart, left with dad all those years ago

"yes but I realised something, Lucy called me Darce earlier and it reminded me that ever since they left, I went cold towards everyone, including you and that was childish and unfair of me so I apologise" I said sincerely and she looked at me

"even though you may think you've been cold towards me, you haven't because I would have said something by now and you know it" she said but we both kept quiet and started walking again.

As we reached a big tree, a branch was sticking out and peter and Susan took off their coats and put it on it and Lucy, bless her soul, gave me my hunting jacket back and I thanked her. While the others were ahead and I started to walk again, I felt a had grab mine and intertwine my cold fingers with their warm soft ones and I felt my red gem glow with delight and knew it was peter I looked at him and he carried on walking like he did nothing and he just smiled down at me

"You know, I think because we are destined to be together and stuff, I can hear your thoughts, so I thought that since I can hear that you want us to be a thing and want to hold my hand, I thought I would make that come true. Darcey, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked and I looked at him confused and looked at Arabella, knowing she heard

"he wants to court you Darcey" she said to clear up the word girlfriend for me and I nodded and blushed deeply

"sorry, I'm not that good with modern words" I said and I nervously laughed and he chuckled

"hey it's fine really" he reassured and I made my mind up right there and then

"and yes peter, I will be your girlfriend" I said and he smiled and leaned forward and kissed my cheek

"finally, wait until your dad finds out, he will be thrilled that part of the prophecy has already come true" Arabella said while she chuckled and I shoved her with my free hand.

As we were walking I felt an extremely sharp pain in my stomach and I gasped and took a few steps back as my gem glowed angrily and I saw a vision of roger being turned to stone.... I started to cry as I sat down on the ground and felt like I couldn't breath, everyone crowded around me and I panicked even more

"move guys move, you'll panic her even more, peter just hold her and let her cry everyone go sit down, we will hav a break for a bit while she calms down" I heard Arabella explain and everyone quickly dispersed except peter who sat by me and put his arms around me and grabbed my hands and enclosed them within his

"Darcey, come on look at me" peter said but I refused to let him see me so weak

"Darce come on baby" he said and I looked straight at him

"I'm not a baby" I said and he chuckled

"it's a good nickname Darcey I promise" he explained and I nodded but felt myself getting calmer as we talked

"so what other nicknames are there for couples?" I asked and he looked at me and started to notice that this was working and that I was calming down by just talking to him
