7) A Day to Remember

          I knew that I needed to train myself before the battle and I had very little time. My leg was hurting and it felt like my sword skill has gone down. I had roughly 1-2 days before Miraz and his army stormed in to slaughter all Narnians, including me and Caspian. I woke up right at sunrise and grabbed my armor and sword. No one else was awake, Peter told them to get as much rest as they could.

I put my light armor on headed out of the stone monument. The sunrise was a beautiful ombré from pink to a faded orange. I wanted to start as soon as I could to get a lot of practice in. My sword was light, it was easy to swing around. It had a lot of detail, the handle was black with two snakes coming from the bottom, then the two heads expressed where the handle ended and the blade began. The blade was very sharpe and shiny, average length.

I found a near by tree on the edge of the forest, I knew Peter and Caspian would freak if they saw me so close to the forest border, they say it's "dangerous and the Telmarines can easily pick you off". The tree stood tall and fairly thick, so I thought this was the best one to have a few swings at.

"Ok Y/n, let's see what you got." I whisper to myself. With the sun not yet completely out peaking over the trees I swung at the tree, engraving a sword mark on the right side. I continued to duck, dodge, and swung at the tree as if it was a real person.

I still had a lot of skill and was able to take on the mighty tree. The sun was still not over the tree and I questioned how long I've been out here, I assumed twenty minutes. I noticed the tree was deeply hit and probably would fall over if I hit it again, so I moved onto another tree. I swung left with my sword and dodged as an imaginary sword flew over my head.

"Having fun?" A male voice asks from behind me. I quickly turned my head in shock, my sword still in my right hand. It was Edmund.

"So much fun. Thanks." I say sarcastically. I grasped my sword with both hands and swung at the tree, this time the sword went half way through.
"Duel me." I say to Edmund:

"I don't want to hurt you Y/n." He says with an annoying smile on his face. "Caspian would kill me if he knew I injured you." He added.

"I don't think we'll have to worry about me getting hurt." I say teasing him. He raised his eyebrows with a slight laugh and looked down at his sword.

"We'll come on then." He said pointing his sword in front of him. I slowly walked away from the tree and closer to him making sure not to break eye contact.

"Don't feel too bad when I beat you." I say with a smile painted on my face.

"I'm not planning on losing Y/n." He says smiling. I roll my eyes laughing and put my sword at it's ready position. I've read stories about the Just King and how he fights, I know that he lunges before he strikes left and doesn't when he strikes right. I didn't want to hit first so I waited for him to, I think he caught on because he struck first. I was trying not to make it obvious that I was watching his feet to see a lunge so occasionally I would look up at his cold brown eyes. He stepped forward, lunged, and struck left, perfect. I blocked it and swung right which he quickly recovered to block aggressively.

He looked shocked, I think he underestimated my skill in sword fights. I looked down and saw him begin to sway, readying himself to strike. Then he swung right without a lunge and I blocked it. I cut my sword under him and flew it under his feet, he jumped just in time. I continued to watch his feet and look up at him. I think he caught on to what I was doing because he lunged and swung right, he knew I was expecting him to swing left. As soon as he did this, he pulled my back straight to his chest and had his sword right under my chin uncomfortably close to my neck. His cheek was directly on the side of my forehead. His skin was cold and I could feel his heavy breathing on my neck.

"Looks like I win Princess." He said laughing. I got angry at this and back kicked him in the shin. Then I tripped both of his feet making him tumble onto his back. I straddled him on my knees. One leg was on either side of his chest, with my sword near his neck.

"Looks like I win. King." I say with mean smile.

"You're good Y/n." He compliments me still on his back. Was he actually being nice to me?"

"You're not too bad yourself Edmund." I say teasingly. I got off of him and laid next to him. Our shoulders were touching and we looked up at the sky, the sunset had gone away and the sun was finally out. Who knew I'd beat a King.

"Come on. I know a place we can go... together." Edmund says getting up. He held out his hand expecting me not to take it, but I decided I should. I gently placed my hand on his and he helped my up, for some reason his touch put butterflies in my stomach. Now I was eye to eye with him.

"Lead the way." I say calmly.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

          "Are we almost there?" I ask Edmund struggling to climb up the stone monument. I have never been one for rock climbing.

"Ya, we're almost there." He said looking back at me. He lead my back to the place we all sleep and made me follow him up to the very top of it. I saw him stop and limbed a little ways. This was a lot further up then the time I climbed up here by myself. The view was amazing, there were tall and green trees and in the distance you could see a lake.

"It's beautiful." I say gently. He looked at me and I looked at him. He looked me up and down and said.

"Ya, it is." I never thought Edmund was one to take in views. He walked away to the edge of it and sat down with his legs dangling off of it.
"Sit next to me Y/n." He said waving me over.

"No thanks. Views better over here." I say. I wasn't exactly scared of heights but yes I think it's scary when you have the opportunity to fall of a stone structure onto the hard grass, that's all.

"You're scared of heights." He said hysterically laughing at me.

"No." I say strictly. He gets up still smiling and walks over to me, really close to me. He looks down and grabs my right hand with his.

"I won't let you fall Y/n." He says with a straight face. My jaw slowly opens and I stare into Edmund eyes. I didn't want to move.

Before I could say a word or move a muscle Edmunds lips crashed onto mine. But I didn't back away, I pursed my lips and nervously continued to kiss him. The tingles down my spine and butterflies in my stomach didn't pull me away from him. He firmly placed his cold hands on my cheeks cupping my face. I put my right hand on his chest and didn't break the continuing kiss. His lips were soft and he kept opening and closing his lips onto mine, I slowly did the same. He turned the long kiss more passionate and moved one hand on the back of my head, then I wrapped my arms around his neck. One hand of his slowly moved down my shoulder past my chest and onto my left hip, he firmly wrapped his arm around my waist. But I broke apart from him. As much as I didn't want to, I had to.

"I- I... I'm sorry Y/n." He said with his hand still on my waist l.

"It's okay." I say with a smile. He returned the smile and again kissed me aggressively. I returned it, but after a bit I again backed away.

"Y/n I love you..." Edmund said... to me. I've only ever heard those words from Caspian and my father. They were words that expressed dying lover for someone. I knew I felt the same, but I couldn't find the right words to say it back.

"We should probably head back down." I say with a gentle smile and small laugh . Edmunds jaw dropped and he released his grip of my waist. He turned away and began to climb down the stone structure.

I had to tell Edmund I loved him back, but how? I couldn't do it in front of everyone. I didn't want him to feel like the kiss was for a nothing.

*of course I had to put another thing in the way of Y/n and Edmund strange relationship lol. chapters coming soon.
Y/n and Edmund kissed AHHH heheh.
