"Lost and cold. Tired and lonely I reached out. I waved my arms and screamed for help.
Desperately trying to speak.
But nobody saw, nobody heard.
Insecure and scared I hid myself away. Tried to silently- telepathically ask for guidance. But nobody...
Warmth. That is the first thing I notice as I wake up. a slight pressure to my midsection. It doesn't hurt, but it's noticeable. making it slightly hard for me to move. Blinking, I let my eyes get used to the brightness. When my eyes have cleared up I look around, a bit confused to where I am, but then I remember.
Aslan's tent.
I can feel my cheeks heat up at the thought. Turning my head I can feel my face grow even hotter. There, so close to me, is the giant, sleeping lion himself. His head draped over my back and stomach, breathing steadily. He looks so peaceful. His ears twitching slightly as he takes a deep breath. His whole being is almost twice as big as me, making me look like a puny kitten compared to him.
Laying my head down on my paws I continue to look at him. Let my eyes roam over his delicately sculpted face. Taking in every detail. For a while I just watch him sleep. Not sure how long. until his eyelids start to flutter, lifting his head from my back, he lets out a yawn.
I can feel my eyes widening at the sight...
so big teeth. so... sharp.
almost scary. almost.
I feel a weird tingling sensation in the pit of my stomach. And an almost sinful wish...
for him... to bite me.
yes, definitely sinful.

I push the thoughts away. Aslan shakes his mane and turns his attention to me. "did you sleep well?" His voice two octaves deeper than usual. Morning voice. Something I wouldn't mind listening to forever. I nod my head and give him a small smile.
"Surprisingly, yes." My voice raspy, not at all as attractive as his. Aslan narrows his eyes at me for a split second,
"No-not that I didn't think I'd sleep well here. I mean, I-I wasn't thinking about sleeping here, I meant that I, if I were to sleep here... um.. sleep wit-BESIDE you I would have slept good, nice, pleasantly, i-it - it's just that I usually don't sleep as well as I did now, not in the sense that I slept... here.... on your.. beside you..."
I stopped my rambling.. completely horrified by my choice, no, use of words. And extremely embarrassed by the fact that I couldn't speak to him without stuttering.
Aslan just looked at me for a good moment... like I was some sort of new exhibit at the zoo... before his whole face broke into a giant -not so kingly- grin, and then he laughed. Hard.
At me.
His laughter was way too pleasant to listen considering the situation. I wanted to bury myself alive... but at the same time do unspeakable things to the big lion laughing at me.
....•_•....
I shook my head again a second time.. I had no idea where these kind of thoughts came from. Nor did I know what to do with these unfamiliar feelings that were creeping up on me.
Usually, when I would feel something new or strange, I'd just find a way to ignore it, but it was a tad difficult when you suddenly have a 300 kg. lion on top of you, trapping you between his large paws, like pillars on each side of your head. Making it impossible to escape.
My mind, for the first time in my existence, went completely blank. My heart was going haywire and my breathing was short and rapid. All I could see, was his yellow eyes. So close. So full of warmth, love, passion. We haven't been together for that long. Didn't know each other before we met a couple of days ago.
Still. He loved me. I could see it.
And I too, was falling hard. Fast.
Suddenly. He licked me. LICKED ME. Not touching noses. No rubbing of muzzles.. LICKING! From my chin to my ear.
Natural animal behavior. Alright, I can understand that. And my lioness self liked it, but I was born human. And the human girl inside of me... was not on board with this sudden forward intimacy. Especially when it involved salvia all over my fury covers cheek.
" what... did you .... just do?" My eyes narrow. My face blank.
His previously dominant-boyish-smugness was gone, and he looked like a deer caught in headlights. Yellow eyes slightly wide, mouth open, ears bent backwards.
*snort* big scary lion... yeah yeah.
"Um.."
no words.
Letting out a sigh, I roll my eyes. "Thought so" I gave his right paw a slight nudge. He got of me. Sitting up beside him I yawn, and look up at the sheepish-looking king. "Aslan, it's not that I don't enjoy your... disposal of affection, but I don't appreciate you smearing morning breath all over my face... at least not before you warn me... ok?" I rub my snout against his shoulder, hoping I didn't hurt his feelings. A small chuckle escapes him as he glances down at me.
" I apologize my dear, I should not have been that forward. I guess I just got caught up in the moment."
He apologized, but his eyes said it all. He was quite happy about his achievement, smug looking bastard.
"There was no moment, Your highness, the moment you are referring to would be you pinning me to the ground after I made a fool of myself, and then licking my face.."
You would have thought that the mighty lion. The great king would have the decency to at least look the least bit ashamed. You would have thought...
But no.
That bastard only shot me a smug smirk, gave me a quick lick on my other cheek, and jumped down from the sleeping area.
Oh the nerve..
I jumped down too, walking past Aslan -now looking at the map on the table- I flicked my tale so it smacked him in the face on my way out. Not hard, sadly, but hard enough to make me feel victorious as I heard him yelp.
Smiling to myself, feeling better, I went to look for my dear Pevensie siblings.
Unaware of the darkness soon to fall upon us.
Hey people! Not a long chapter, I know, but thought I should post a bit of sappy happy time before I continued on with the "original" Narnia plot. Hope you still enjoyed it though, and I will post the next chapter as soon as possible! Thank you all for reading, have a nice summer and be kind to one another<3
