Travel through Time (Edmund Pevensie)

Chapter 9

I found myself in nothing. Surrounding me was white. All I saw was white. There was nothing here.

I heard a woman giggling to herself. My skin pricked with goosebumps. The laughter grew in sound and revolved around me. My side began to hurt again.

"Finally. I can kill you face to face."

"I'll be the one deriving pleasure from your death, Jadis." I snarled. A cold wind brushed through my hair, bringing with it a coating of snowflakes. The gust swirled in a circle, revealing the Ice Queen herself, Jadis. (AN: NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ELSA.)

"Well, child, let's see." I felt my clothes morph into my battle dress, and my weapons came into my hands. Jadis armed herself with that God-forsaken wand and two swords.

"Just like the battle with Peter," I whispered. Jadis smiled a wicked smile.

"If I recall, I won that battle...until Aslan intervened." Her smile twisted into a cruel smirk and she lunged, wand pointed straight for my heart.

I jumped to the side, swinging down, hoping to cleave the wand in two. Her hand tossed the wand to the side, and it stuck into the ground, handle facing up. Her other hand drew her left sword, clashing with my powerful slice.

I shifted backward, knocked her sword to the side, and lunged forward again, hoping to hit her heart. Jadis now drew her right sword to block me as her left hand swooshed down to chop off my head. I moved closer, and knocked straight into her, catching her off guard.

Nobody expects their opponent to dodge by moving closer.

I knew my one sword against her two wasn't going to work, so I retreated a bit and drew my bow. She had no shield, and her ice wand would be too far away to reach in time.

I shot two arrows, one aimed for her head, and the other for her heart. Jadis may look old, but good GOD, I've never seen a person move faster.

Both arrows missed.

She reached her ice wand and picked it up, spinning it once in her hand.

...Wand...

My eyes widened.

It was like the battlefield of pure nothingness was on my side. My bag materialized out of nowhere, and I quickly ran to it. My fingers closed around that "seemingly unimportant stick" I mentioned. I brought it out.

Crooked, twigs poking out, gnarly, looked like I found it on the ground, and absolutely the most perfect thing I had ever seen in my life.

Jadis's laughter interrupted my observations.

"What is that? Pick it up on the way here, love? Planning to kill me with some rotten, old branch?" I glared at her mocking tone.
