Into the Woods with You

Chapter Twelve

Here it is you guys the final chapter.

Now fair warning this chapter may seemed rushed and out of place a bit but thats because I have lost interest and I wanted to finish this book and get it over and done with.

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

After everything has gone down, the Telmarine castle was now also the Narnian's castle as well. Also it was the day of Caspian's coronation. Caspian rode in front of everyone with Nala right beside him even though Peter wanted her to be next to him he knew that she was a higher ranking then him and his siblings as they rode behind Caspian and Nala all waving to the crowds as they cheered.

It was the next day, Caspian had accompanied Nala on her walk around the castle. Talking about whatever came to mind.

"So how are you feeling?" Nala questioned as she looked at Caspian in the corner of her eyes.

"Still like a dream." Caspian breathed as he gave her a smile which cause a giggle to escape her lips.

As they turned a corner and went down some steps, Caspian and Nala stopped in their footsteps noticing Susan and Peter both talking with Aslan. Both looking sad which caused Nala to go sad as she had the same conversation with her father last night.

"You're majesty." Aslan questioned causing Peter and Susan to look over and noticed Caspian and Nala.

"We are ready. Everyone has assembled." Caspian nodded his head as he looked confused as to why Susan had unshed tears in her eyes.

Aslan nodded his head as Caspian walked away. Peter looked at Nala and saw the unshed tears in hers and couldn't help but to frown, wondering what her answer was going to be and whether she knew that they had to leave, or better yet would she leave with him.

Nala stood beside her father as the Pevensie siblings stood to the far right of Nala with Caspian a far a way from them.

"Narnia belongs to the Narnian's, just as it does to man. And Telmarines who want to stay and live in peace are welcome to. But for any of you wish, Aslan will return you to the home of our forefathers." Caspian spoke up from his place, looking out into the crowd.

"It's been generations since we left Telmar." A man in front spoke up. 

"We are not referring to Telmar." Aslan said causing everyone to look at the great lion in confusion. "Your ancestors were seafaring brigands. Pirates run aground on a island. There they found a cave, a rare chasm that brought them here from their world. The same world as our kings and queens." Aslan explained causing the crowd to mutter to each other fearing what might happen. 

"I will go." Someone said causing Nala's eyes to widen as she noticed it was one of the higher guard.

"So will we." Spoke Miraz's wife, Caspian's aunt.

"Because you have spoken first, your future in that world shall be good." Aslan spoke as Nala's eyes became glossy watching as the three humans leave their old lives to start brand new ones, through the tree.

The crowd gasped but that didn't seem to sit well for some who were skeptical.

"How do we know he is not leading us to our deaths?" A man shouted from the crowd.

"Sire. If my example can be of any service, I will take 11 mice through it with no dilay." Nala could only hold back a sob at Reepicheeps words.

"We'll go." Came a voice Nala was dreading the most.

"We will?" Edmund questioned confused.

"Come on, our time's up." Peter said. "After all, we're not really needed anymore." Peter said causing a small sob to escape Nala's mouth as she watched Peter hand over his sword to Caspian.

"I will look after it until you return." Caspian said with a small smile on his face.

"I'm afraid that's just it." Susan said speaking up. "We're not coming back." This seemed to cause Caspian's mouth to form a frown as he looked between Susan and Peter.

"we're not?" Lucy questioned sadly.

"You two are." Peter said looking over towards his younger siblings. "At least I think he means you two." Peter said looking over at Aslan and couldn't help but to feel his heart break watching the girl that he was in love with become sad.

"But why? Did they do something wrong?" Lucy questioned looking at Aslan.

"Quite the opposite, dear one. But all things have their time. Your brother and sister have learned what they can from this world. Now it's time for them to live in their own." Aslan said as Nala tried to wipe away her tears as she smiled sadly at Lucy.

"It's all right, Lu. It's not how I thought it would be, but its all right. One day you'll see too. Come on." Peter said as he lead her over towards Trumpkin before he made his way over towards Nala.

"Come with us." Peter almost begged causing more tears to escape Nala's glossy eyes.

"I can't Pete. These are my people, I can't abandon them." Nala whispered sadly as she leaned into Peter's touch as he caressed her check.

As Peter and Nala leaned into each other, they lips finally met in a short sweet passionate kiss.

Pulling away a few seconds later, Nala took a step back before lifting her hands shakily towards her neck and unclasped the silver necklace with a ring on it.

Peter let out a gasp recognizing the ring that hung loosely on the silver necklace and Peter could only look at Nala in shock.

"It appeared next to my the day you left Narnia." Nala smiled sadly as she reached and grabbed Peter's hand  and placing the ring and necklace into his hand. "I would of said yes all those years ago you know." This caused Peter's breath to hitch. "But now you must find someone to cherish as much as you did me." Nala weakly smiled before letting go of Peter's hand. "I'll miss you."

"I'm going to miss you too." Peter whispered as he pulled Nala in for one last hug.

Nala watched as the siblings and her love walk through the tree with tears streaming down her face.

"Good-bye my love." She whispered sadly causing Caspian and Aslan to frown.
