(Maily's POV)

I woke up...not opening my eyes, it was already morning, actually I slept very long, I like sleeping, so I guess this time was no exception, I didn't know if King Edmund was awake or not, I hardly opened my eyes.. He wasn't lying next to me, but he was sitting a little far and looking at me... I stared for a minute.. how long was he looking at me like that.

"Good morning,.. Sunshine",- he said.

"Good morning,.. King Edmund.",- I said and continued watching him.

"Slept well?",- he asked calmly.

"Um..well... actually yes, very well... what about you? Did his majesty sleep well?",- I said with a sarcastic tone in my voice.

"Yeah, I suppose I slept better than I expected, luckily no one attacked us,tonight... You know...",- he answered in a kind of childish way.

"What?",- I asked, not understanding the point.

"Mm..no nevermind...I just, nothing.",- he answered by saying several words that weren't connected to each other.

I stood up quickly.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?",- I asked immediately.

He widened his eyes at me, leaned closer, looking deep into my eyes, I felt goosebumps fill my body once again.

"Well, you were talking while sleeping.",- he said half whispering.

"What?! What did I say?",- I half shouted my words as I got shocked.

He leaned more and reached to my ear...God! my heart started beating faster at this...

"I...trust you..",- he said to my ear... and pulled away, but was still looking at me.

"I...trust you?",- I repeated curiously.

"Well, I don't know exactly whom do you trust, but that's all you said...",- he answered now without that dramatic sight.

I lost myself in his talking...not knowing what it was, I felt kind of strange, but I wanted to stay lost in his eyes... That was magical. Suddenly I noticed that I was staring at him too long, as he interrupted the silence.

"Is anything wrong with me? You look so intently.",- he asked eventually.

"Wha..No, No.. I, I ,, I just , just thought that... about.. I mean .. I-I-I got...lost.",- I blurted out suddenly.

"You, you, you got...lost?",- he kind of teased me but was serious and curious at the same time.

"Yes! I mean, I didn't expect that, I can talk while sleeping.. and...",- I looked down in shame, why on earth did I stare at him so long, he thinks I'm crazy...

"Hahah, anyways.., I guess it's time to continue our ride, I need to find the Wise Man today, we don't have much time to lose.",- he changed the strange atmosphere around us.

"You? You mean, your army?",- I asked carefully.

"Yes, Narnians. We have to save Narnia again!",- he answered simply.

We continued our trip...

"How many times did you save Narnia?",- I broke the silence.

"Already 3 times... First time I was very little, that's when I saw the Witch! She fooled me! I'll never forgive her!",- he said and I could clearly sense the rage in his voice. I wanted to say something but I had nothing to say...

"She... Didn't stop chasing me till the last war! And now...she's alive.. again!",- he continued but somehow he wasn't talking to me... I think he was talking much to himself.
