The Twin Queens

3: Toast

The after party is wonderful. There's fauns and other animals dancing to the music. A boy about my age comes up and asks me to dance, and a boy who looks to be his brother asks Jade.

"Hi, I'm Mark, and that's Caspian, the First," he says. So Jade's dancing with Caspian the First.

"Queen Katie, the Brave," I respond.

"I know, I was at the coronation," he says. He then dips me, and we continue dancing. Soon, the party's over, and Jade and I are back in our rooms, mine being castle themed. It's like a mini castle!! I take a picture out of my bag. It's a picture of Mom, Dad, Jade and I. It was when Jade and I were 8 years old, on our birthday. I sigh, wishing mom and dad could see us. I set up the picture, and play around.

DONG, DONG, DONG, the dinner bell sounded. I got into my comfy clothes, and ran down. For dinner I had a pulled pork sandwich, and cookie cake for dessert.

After dinner I then played around with the horses and dogs.

"Katie, time to come in," Jade calls. I listen. We start getting ready for bed. I fall asleep to the sounds of the forest, stables, dogs, and all the other noise.

The next morning, I wake up and get dressed, putting on shorts and a t-shirt. The only reason I was wearing a dress yesterday was because they promised that I would only need to wear a dress when it's absolutely necessary. So, I'm not wearing a dress. I run, actually I fall, down the stairs and into the dining hall, where I find chocolate chip pancakes waiting. They're my FAVORITEST TYPE EVER!!! I also had toast. I start singing a song called, 'Toast.' (The song)

"HELLO EVERY BODY!!!" I scream. I may or may not have tripped and fall ALL THE WAY DOWN THE STAIRS leading outside. I charge into the stable, and put a saddle and bridle on a pretty chestnut horse. The horse talked and said his name is Phillip. I like Phillip. He's a nice horse. He's nicer then Jade.

This morning, there was a sandwich and a lunch packed and waiting for me. Last night, I had announced that I'd be going for a ride the whole day today, so ya. Phillip and I have been riding for a few hours now, and it's lunchtime. I get off, and let Phillip graze while I eat. After, I run around for a bit. We then start heading back to the castle. We made it back about 5 minuets before they shut the gate.

For dinner, we had pulled pork, and BROWNIES. I love those. After dinner, I put on fuzzy pajamas and went to Jade's room for a story. I always get a story. Today, a faun is in there, and he says his name is Tumnus.

"Katie, Tumnus is going to tell us a story about the 4 kings and queens," Jade tells me. I nod.

"So," he starts. "I was a stone statue at the time, but Edmund told me about it. The witches army was bigger then ours. Peter shouted 'for Narnia and for Aslan,' and they charged. Then, Edmund said 'Fire!' And a centaur fired an arrow which sparked in mid-air. A phoenix swooped down bursting into flames and creates a wall of fire that separates the oncoming Witch and the rest of her army." He tells us a lot more, but I'm going to skip to my favorite part. "'Edmund! There's too many! Get out of here! Get the girls and get them home!" Said Peter. The beaver said, 'You heard him! Let's go' and starts to drag Ed away. Ed sees the Witch advance
towards Peter who is oblivious and starts to go back.

"'Peter said get out of here!' Said the beaver' 'Peter's not king yet.' Was Ed's relpy. Edmund rushes down the hill, jumps next to the Witch and brings his sword down on the Witch's wand, smashing it. There is a flash of blue light. Peter turns. Edmund pauses, giving the Witch the advantage to rid him of his shield and stab him with the remains of her wand. Edmund collapses and lies still. Peter charges angrily at the Witch and they fight, the battle is vigorous. Peter: Ah! They see Aslan's feet for a second, running quickly across rocky terrain, Peter and the Witch pause when they hear Aslan's roar from the top of a cliff.

"White Witch said, 'Impossible!' Peter and the Witch continue to fight. Aslan, and his army, rush to join the battle. The Witch trips Peter and pins him to the ground with one of her swords through his chain mail. She stands over him about the deliver the death blow, looks up, Aslan leaps at her, and pins her to the ground. The Witch looks up, and Aslan kills her. Peter stands holding his sword as everything else appears sped up around him."

"BEST STORY EVER!!!" I shout, then I yawn.

"Bed time," Jade looked at me. I go to my room next door, and crawl into bed. I fall asleep dreaming of battles, Kings, queens and magical creatures.

*2 weeks later*

We have been queens for two weeks. I'm starting to get used to this. The faun, Tumnus, comes back everyday and tells us stories. My favorite is the one with the battle.

We're eating dinner, and suddenly, "My Queens, My Queens!! A spy of the White Witch was spotted!!" Jade jumps up and runs to the stable. I shove a piece of toast in my mouth and run after her.

Once were on our horses, we see a small army of werewolves, hags, minotaurs, a few dwarves, and more. I remember Tumnus telling us about them. Our army is behind us when we get to our spot on the field. Not our whole army, just maybe 20-25 members of it. There's only 10-15 other creatures of the other side. They attack, and we fight. I'm on Phillip, slashing away at hags and others. Jade's doing the same.

"We lost three brave soliders today," a centaur says sadly. "Leon, the faun, Sabotage, the cheetah, and Chester, the centaur."

An animal steps forward, with three Narnian flags. Is has blue skin and a body shaped like a duck's. Its face resembles one of a dog and its eyes remind me of a crow's. It has horse-like hooves and a frill around its neck.

"Thank you, Nolton," the centaur says. Nolton nods and goes back to his spot.
