The Lone Islands// Edmund Pevensie (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 11 Edmund

Even though Caspian and I were locked up in a cold, perhaps dangerous cell, waiting for our death sentence or whatever we WERE waiting for, I couldn't help but worry.

Lucy and Eustace had been taken elsewhere, so I was worried about them.

The rest of the crew were still in the docks, they might've been found and captured as well, so I was worried about them also.

But the one thing that made my hands shake with fear, was Rose.

I mean, come on, I mudt admit it by now that I did like her. A lot. And I think I showed that when I kissed her before going back to my world. But she hasn't shown me that she feels the same- in fact she's acting like usual...so I better move on, I mean if she doesn't like me back.. Then thats not her fault, right?

I bet she likes/ed Peter! Maybe that's why she kissed me back because she wanted to prove to Peter that she can move on!

" you know you're speaking aloud right now, ed " a voice ruined my thoughts and I turned my head to see Caspian, who raised his eyebrows, but I didn't reply.

" You know whenever I doubted myself with girls I always fell back on-" Caspian started but i interrupted him.

" boys " I stated to lighten the mood.

" no I fell back on what I believed in, and that's life itself...listen anything can happen in a lifetime and who knows maybe Rose will realise what she's missing " Caspian stated as he got to where I was stood, although chains still dragging out weights down.

" so...so she's never told you that she likes me-" I whispered, disappointed.

" if you haven't noticed, Ed, Rose never gives out her feelings AND she always hides them...it's one of her traits she got from..father...but enough of that.." Caspian shook his head in disbelief she could bring up the subject of his dead father...and turned away in shame...and we fell into a deep silence.

A shuffle behind us was heard, and me and Caspian jumped with shock.

"Who goes there?!?" Caspian spoke as a figure lurked in the shadows.

The figure revealed itself to be an old man, quite short, a large, old sword.

" Lord Bern?" Caspian said in surprise as I remember Caspian talking about the seven lords he was going after...this must be one of them.

" I wouldn't say Lord no more...and you? Who are you? " Lord Bern stumbled as he now came completely out of the shadows and darkness.

" I am King Caspian!" Caspian boomed as Lord Berns' expression changed vastly.

" Oh to the highest heavens to Aslan's mane- are you really?" Lord Bern smiled which gave us the idea that it was a rhetorical question.

" Your father gave me this and six others to the other lords before he died, he said it would bring peace to Narnia- I have guarded it safely- Place this and the 6 other swords on Aslans table...then all will be well " Lord Bern exclaimed as he passed Caspian the sword.

" Wow...I.." But before Caspian could even speak more... Three guards rushed in to take us...
