A prophecy love (a peter pevensie love story)

Chapter 10

I fell asleep, feeling quite sad about the whole me and peter situation but tried not to dwell on it too much, that was until I woke up nearly screaming from a nightmare about dad and Kian dying at the stone table and I looked around, seeing that I was safe, I just didn't feel safe so I got up and put my robe over my long shirt and walked out of the tent and straight over to peters, I walked in to see them both sound asleep and felt like there and then turning back around to go back to my bed as they looked extremely peaceful for once and I did not want to also disturb them after their long day but it was too late by the time I had finally turned around

"Darcey?" I heard Edmund ask as he woke up

"I'm sorry for waking you" I apologised quickly but he shook his head

"no it's fine, what's wrong?" He asked and I looked at him sheepishly

"can I climb into bed with peter and you can go back to my tent and sleep in bed with Arabella?" I asked politely and he nodded lightly and rubbed my shoulder comfortingly and then swiftly walked out the tent to join Arabella, I then walked over to peters bed and slowly climbed in, hoping not to wake him but alas I failed again

"Beautiful? What are you doing here" he asked in a raspy morning voice which I would've found cute if I wasn't upset like I was. He sat up and pulled me up with him and I just didn't look at him, I was looking at the pillow which looked more interesting than how this conversation was going to go. I just didn't want to talk about it when it was still so fresh within my mind

"I'm sorry, I had a nightmare and needed you" I whispered to him and looked down but reached out and put his index finger underneath my chin and lifted my head up until i was looking into his eyes that I've always gotten lost in every time I look at them

"hey it's fine, do you want to talk about it?" He asked quietly and I shook my head quickly as tears fell down my face and he looked at me concerned

"oh baby girl" he said and pulled me close while I sobbed loudly in his chest and he stroked my hair softly and looked down at me, extremely confused and concerned of why I was so upset about a nightmare for

"What's gotten you so shaken I up from this nightmare my love?" Peter asked me as he pulled my body away from his for a brief minute or so and then pulled me back into him when I began to curl into myself and just continued to sob

"it just scares me so much" I whispered after a while and he nodded and continued to whisper sweet nothings into my ear as he laid us down on his bed and pulled the covers up to our necks and he just held me close whispering stuff into my ear to help me calm down and I slowly fell back into a peaceful sleep, knowing that peter was there to help me fight the monsters away.

I was woken up again by peter unsheathing his sword to something and I bolted up right in the bed to see Arabella and Edmund in the tent also looking as distraught as us, Edmund had his sword raised and made sure Arabella was behind him, much like peter was doing at the moment as one of his hands was on my thigh and the other holding his sword as we had all been woken up all of a sudden to see that it was a hunch of petals that formed the shape of a woman and I realised that it was Lucy's friend that she made and waved to when we first arrived at camp together

"be still my princes and princesses" she said as Arabella and I put our hand on peter and Edmunds arm and pushed them down lightly, weakening our defences to this petal female that was before us. Edmund and peter shared eye contact with each other, still confused by what was going on and me and Arabella looked at each other worried as we both knew she normally travelled with messages and most of the time they weren't good news

"I have news from your sisters" she stated and me and Arabella looked at her, worried for Lucys and Susan's well being while Edmund and peter began to look more and more confused, she then started to explain the story to us but I only heard what I thought I needed to know and it broke me: how Kian and Aslan had traded Edmunds and Ians death sentence for theirs so that Edmund and Ian could live, that they were killed at the stone table early this mourning, that the witch was bringing her army to fight us today. at that moment, I felt my whole world crashing down on me, as the petals disappeared out of the tent door and back to her post I broke down into another fit of sobs while sinking down to the floor, peter holding me as he also sunk down to the floor with me, cradling me while looking really worried at me and my mental well being, the only thing I heard was peter ordering Arabella and Edmund to get out and also telling Edmund to go to get Oreus and that we'd be out soon to talk battle plans. He then turned me around so that I was in front of him and grabbed my hands lightly and I looked at him for a mere second and then launched myself into his arms and he rocked me back and forth
