Meant To Be( an Edmund Pevensie fanfiction)

chapter 24

Julia

I see a figure that's red.

He's round and he has a big beard.

His two hands are placed on his hips. His eyes smile,and he smiles. He looks very happy.

His smile is very contagious making smile,I think a little bit wider. It's the biggest smile I've worn this day.

Santa.

I remember the 8 year old me,with missing teeth, waiting on Christmas Eve to meet Santa.

Of course I never met him. I realized he wasn't real. And that day I never believed in Santa.

But here I am right now looking, standing in front of a person I hadn't believed in years.

"Merry Christmas sir," Lucy says,grinning

"Merry Christmas Lucy, now that you're here." He replied, still with the smile on his face.

Susan came closer, puzzled.

"I thought there wasn't Christmas in Narnia.."

"No, Not in a hundred years."He corrected her.

He smiled at her and went back to his slay bringing up a sack. presents. A feeling of excitement rushed through me.

"Presents!" Lucy squeaked and came closer to the sack to get a closer look. I could've done that too but that's kind of inappropriate for me to do. For a 15 year old.

From the sack Santa got a sword and a matching armor. Peter came closer, interested by the shiny and powerful weapon.

The sword was shown causing Lucy to grin while Susan and I to flinch looking at the sharp edge of the sword.

"Peter, use this in the proper use. It is time for you to use one of these." Santa said as he handed the weapons to Peter, which he held ,looking proud, now he's holding a sword. "Thank you,sir"

Santa smiled without saying anything.

Then, Susan came next.

Santa handed her a bow and arrows. I was amazed by the beauty of it. Susan got the weapon, looking afraid. Her face looked like it was saying "what do we need these things for?"

Now, thinking about it ,I arrived in the same question and answered it. I remembered, the beavers saying Aslan has already prepared our army.

Next to the bow and arrows Santa handed her a horn. "Use this and and help will come."

Susan smiled, within the smile gratefulness was read.

"Ah for the young one, Lucy" Santa said, holding a dagger, which I found cute, and bottle of red liquid.

Santa knelt down to make Lucy feel like they have the same height and handed the two weapons.

Lucy smiled. "I think I could be brave enough."

"Don't think, believe." He encouraged "Now Lucy that bottle you're holding is the liquid of the fire flower. One drop, will cure any injury"

With the words said, a blurry vision appeared. Such weird creatures were on a wide area. There were like two teams. One was dark and a heavy feeling rushed through me. It was so dark and the smell for revenge was sensed. Dark very dark. The other was the feeling of hope, and the heavy feeling I felt, went light.

Then blood, many blood,rocks stones and a tall white woman appeared with a sinister face. It was horrible.

The vision made me shiver,hardly. I try and try to forget everything,to brush it off.

I did manage and sooner Santa called my name.

I came closer and I wore a smile.

He held a simple yet elegant necklace. For me. The tiny diamond sparkled when the sun hit it. I was speechless.

"Now Julia do you see how simple yet how elegant this looks?"

"Yes," I replied.

"Just like your beauty Julia," He said.

"Thank you,sir. But I don't beli-"

"You are beautiful, Julia. There is no argument on that. Aslan made you beautiful."

"Wait, Aslan made me?" I asked jumping to a new conversation.

"Well yes of course. He made you in the name of love, you were a seed and you were planted to your mother, Polly."

"You mean, I was just inserted to my mother?"

"Yes. And many believe, you are going to save Narnia, stated in the prophecy."

I stood not believing everything.

"Now Julia, that necklace doesn't just stay beautiful. It has powers as well."

I raised an eyebrow ,"Really?"

"Yes, when a an act of abnegation and true love at the same time is performed, time will reset itself."

I nodded.

"It will also help you through your wild visions,which I assume you have. And will help you make your visions clearer."

I shivered "Umm..How did you know, have visions?"

"It is one thing special about you, Julia." He said "Aslan made like that."

"Wow," I said, surprised.

I got the gift Santa gave me and thanked him,repeatedly.

He got back to his slay for he is done "Now, children let's not take too long for an adventure awaits you." He smiled "Long live Aslan!"

We watched as he slowly comes farther and farther and his slay comes smaller and smaller.

I stared at the snow with multiple thoughts. The truth about me and what I can do. My visions. And through all this, I don't even know myself anymore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please don't kill me!! I know I haven't updated for ages.. and can you guys forgive me?

It was just that a lot of things were coming up. And since I'm in the 6th grade.. I'm graduating. And because of that I need to avoid distractions for a while and focus on my studies.

Sooo yeah.

This chapter is what I call Edmund-less chapter. Sad huh?

But don't worry! Hopefully he'll be coming back in the next chapter which will not take too long for me to update unlike this one.

Bye! See you soon!
