Protector of Narnia (The Chronicles of Narnia) (Complete)

To Get Some Practice

Hey Guys, here's the next chapter! I hope you enjoy this one. I don't own anything except for my OC Katie.

Peter and I walked back to where our tents were to see Edmund, Susan, and Lucy waiting for us at the table for breakfast. Looking at the food made my mouth melt. There were ham, eggs, toast, bacon, juice, and so much more. I sat down next to Edmund and after we said Grace we began to eat. Peter grabbed his cup and walked away from the table. I knew he was thinking about out talk. I turn to Edmund to see him eating his toast slowly, like he was saving its flavor.

"Narnia isn't going to run out of toast Edmund," said Lucy. We all started to laugh at the joke.

"Well, at least we did save the jam," I said remembering when we were grabbing the jam in the beaver's house.

"Then you better pack some for the journey," said Peter.

We all looked at him. What is he thinking? I told him I'm not leaving.

"So we're going home," asked Susan.

"You three are," he replied as he sat down next to me.

"Wait, us three," asked Lucy.

They all looked at me and I shrugged back.

"I promised I'd keep you three safe but there's no reason I can't stay and help. Katie has to stay because she is the Protector and she has to finish what her Father has started in Narnia," said Peter.

"But they need us...All five of us," said Lucy.

She looked at me with her puppy dog eyes, trying to convince me to let them stay. I couldn't help but smile at her. Spoken like a true Queen. However, Peter was not convinced.

"Lucy it's too dangerous. You and Katie almost drowned, Edmund was almost killed!"

I shivered when the thought of the river crept back to me. It was my fault I almost gave up and almost drowned and to make it worse, I had Lucy holding on to me. I could have killed us both.

"Which is why we have to stay," said Edmund.

"What do you me about that," I asked.

Edmund looked right at me when he said, "I've seen what the White Witch can do and I've helped her do it, and we can't leave these people behind to suffer for it."

As Lucy squeezed Ed's hand I hugged him. He placed his head on my shoulder. He's like a little brother to me. When I saw him tied to the tree and that dwarf held a knife to his throat, I was scared for him. I don't know what he went through but I want to help him get over his nightmare.

I turned back to Peter and said, "I sorry to say this but I agree with them. You remember the prophecy right? Two Sons of Adam and two Daughters of Eve must sit on the thrown not only one. Besides, like I said before Peter, you can't get rid of me that easily and it looks like neither can you get rid of them."

Peter sighed and smiled back to me. He knew he couldn't win this argument.

"Well I guess that's it then," said Susan as she got up. We all turned to her thinking the same question.

"Where are you going," asked Peter.

Susan picked up her bow and arrows and turned back to us to say, "To get in some practice. Lucy, Katie, would you like to join me?"

Lucy and I looked at each and together we said, "Sure!"

I grabbed my sword but before I followed them, someone grabbed my hand. I looked back to see it was Peter.

"Perhaps you and I can battle each other. I want to see how good you are," he whispered in my ear. When his breath hit my ear I couldn't help but shiver.

"Meet me by the hill. I can't wait to beat you," I said.

A couple minutes later, Peter and I squared off of each other. The others including some Narnians decided to watch us. I could tell Edmund was rooting for Peter and Lucy was rooting for me.

"Come on Katie, you can beat him," screamed Lucy.

"Don't let a girl beat you Peter," screamed Edmund.

Peter and I looked at Oreius to wait for the signal. His hand fell and Peter ran towards me. Our swords clashed with each other as we tried not to fall or lose our balance. Peter ran towards me again, but I blocked him. His face was really close to mine as we held onto our swords but pushing the other, refusing to be pushed back.

"Give up Katie, you know I'm better than you," he said.

I smirked at him and said, "You think so? Well prepared to lose."

Peter pushed me back and again ran towards me. I decide to finish this battle. I front flipped over him and kicked him in the side. He let go of his sword and fell to the ground. Before he could grab his sword, a foot stepped on to it preventing him to grab it. He looked up to see me pointing my sword right at him.

"Looks like I win your highness," I said.

The crowd cheered as I helped Peter up. Lucy was jumping up and down while Edmund was in total shock. He then smiled at me and clapped. I handed back Peter his sword and said, "Sorry about the kick. Hope I didn't hurt you."

He smirked at me and said, "No you didn't and congratulations. You did beat me fair and square."

Later on the day, I watched Susan and Lucy practice shooting at the target. Susan pulled the string of her bow and released it. The arrow landed on the circle above the bull's eye.

"Good shot," I said.

"Yeah, but not good enough," she said to me.

All of the sudden a dagger landed on the bull's eye. Susan and I looked completely shocked to see it was Lucy who threw the dagger.

She shrugged at us and said, "It's all in the wrist."

I heard something behind us. We looked to see Peter and Edmund practicing sword fighting on horses. The only thing different between the horses is Edmund's horse is brown and Peter's horse is a white unicorn. I smiled to see the brothers are practicing together.

"Come on Ed, sword hand up like Oreius showed us," said Peter.

They were swinging and clashing their swords when suddenly Mr. Beaver ran up to them.

"Peter, Edmund," he said.

When he got closer to them, Edmund's horse reared up. Ed tried to calm it down.

"Whoa horsey," he said.

When the horse stopped rearing he turned his head, narrowed his eyes, and said, "My name is Philip!"

I couldn't but laugh to see Edmund's shocked face when he said, "Oh, sorry."

I turned back to Mr. Beaver and asked, "Mr. Beaver, what's wrong?"

He turned to me and I could see his eyes all scared. "You and the others better come quickly. The White Witch has requested a meeting with Aslan and she's on her way here."

We all looked at Edmund to see him shivering. My eyes locked onto Peter's and I knew what we were both thinking. This can't be good at all.

So there you have it. Another chapter done! Don't forget to vote and review! Until then...
