Merry Christmas

and have

a Happy New Year

Chapter .2.

Lucy looks around the ruins of Car Paravel. She had mixed emotions about this. She had honesty hoped to never lay eyes on the Cair ever again. She also never wanted to come back to this place. But Aslan had done something to bring her and Matthew here.

"We need to be armed", Lucy states

"How?" Matthew asks curiously

"There is a treasure room. It would be our best bet. The sooner we do whatever we are needed here we can go back to England and enjoy our lives", Lucy replies

Matthew nods he knew everything about Lucy and knew she hated this place and probably the memories that this bought. Lucy approaches a bolder at the corner of the ruins.

"Help me more this", Lucy tells Matthew

Between Lucy and Matthew they push the bolder out of the way to reveal a door.

"What is down there?" Matthew asks curiously

"What we need", Lucy replies simply

Out of her bag she pulls out a torch. In hers and Matthews bag they had a torch, matches, clothes, a blanket each, a few items of medical supplies, water and some food and money they had stolen. All the items you needed to survive on the streets.

Lucy turns on the torch and they head down the stairs to a chamber. Matthew sees all the Statues around the place.

"Are those them?" Matthew asks knowing not to say the names

"Yes", Lucy says coldly looking at the statues of her siblings who abandoned her.

Left her to rot in a hellhole. Left her to be an orphan.

"Is that you?" Matthew asks looking at a portrait of the family

He sees who must be Peter blonde hair and blue eyes a crown on his head and a hand on one of the girls. He had a sword in his hand that had a lions head. He was wearing a blue tunic and breeches. He had a gold crown on. The look in his eyes showed he was the protector. He stood tall and proud. Under is picture was words,

High King Peter John Pevensie the Magnificent

High King of Narnia

Emperor of the Lone Islands

Knight of the Noble Order of the Lion

Lord of Cair Paravel.

Next was a woman he guessed was Susan who had black hair and blue eyes. Her eyes so gentle, she had a bow and arrows in her hand. He could tell she was a gracious lady but would defend if necessary. It was in her eyes. She had on a violet dress with a gold and silver crown on her head.

The plauge said

High Queen Susan the Gentle

Queen of Narnia

Susan of the Horn

Lady of Cair Paravel

Duchess of the Southern March

Edmund had black hair and brown eyes. He looked like a politician. He was wearing a green tunic with breeches he held a sword in his hands. A silver crown was on his head. He had a small smirk on his face.

His plauge says:

King Edmund the Just

King of Narnia

Lord of Cair Paravel

Duke of the Lantern Waste

Count of the Western March.

Knight of the Order of the Table.

The next picture he knew her. Even though she was younger in this picture. She had brown hair and hazel eyes, she wore a flowery orange dress and a silver crown. She was holding a dagger. On her belt held her cordial that Matthew was told about before Lucy stopped taking about them.

Matthew also saw that the picture of Lucy and what she looked like now had changed. Her eyes didn't hold the same light. She didn't have the laughter lines on her face. And her expression was serious and stern.

Her plauge said:

Queen Lucy the Valiant

Queen of Narnia

Lady of Cair Paravel

Duchess of the Eastern Woods

"I got clothes I need to change. You can take some of theirs if you want", Lucy tells him, sneering theirs.

Matthew nods and goes to Peter's chest. He opens it to find clothes, journals and jewels. He picked out clothes that might fit and a sword.

Soon both Lucy and Matthew were dressed ready to go. Lucy had on a dress. She had a bow and arrows on and sword.

"Ready?" Matthew asks gently

"We'll see", Lucy replies coldly

Sometime later they were walking through the forest. As they had already looked around the Cair for life and found no one. So they went deeper. Matthew let Lucy lead the way but he stayed close to her. Knowing she was probably battling some memories now.

Suddenly Lucy was knocked over by a large mouse and so was Matthew.

"Say your last words Telmarine", the mouse says pointing his needle sword at her

"I am NOT a Telmarine. I am Queen Lucy Pevensie the Valiant", Lucy says grimacing at her last name and the Queen title.

The mouse jumps up.

"A thousand apologies your Majesty. I am Reepicheep", Reepicheep tells her bowing

"Call me Lucy I don't like hearing that I'm a Queen or ever was. Can you tell your comrade to get off my Boyfriend?" Lucy asks

"Let him up", Reepicheep tells his comrade

Matthew was able to get up now. And went immediately to Lucy's side.

"It is good to have you back my...", Reepicheep starts

"I'm NO Queen. So don't say it", Lucy tells the mouse sharply

She was going to shout at him to get it through she was no Queen. When Matthew put his arms around her to stop her from doing something. This was how he always calmed her down. It worked every time.

Lucy takes a calming breath she hated this situation. She would rather be back on the streets of England looking for her next meal and a place to stay. Matthew's arm around her always helped ground her and bring her back to the present.

"As you wish", Reepicheep says bowing but he was confused

All he heard about Queen Lucy was that she was a kind and gentle woman. But this woman didn't seem to be anything like that.

"I want information", Lucy tells Reepicheep

"What information Ma'am?" Reepicheep asks

"When did the Telmarines arrive?" Lucy asks

Reepicheep tells Lucy and Matthew of the story that had been past down the generations.

"Your siblings went with their people. King Peter gave the order to evacuate everyone. The Kings were injured and so was the Queen", Reepicheep explains

"Where are they now?" Lucy asks somehow knowing they weren't dead.

No they weren't dead. She wouldn't be that lucky.

"Narnia's have seen they around. Rumours are they are immortal as they haven't aged a day since the Golden Age", Reepicheep informs her

"So what is going on now?" Lucy asks again getting annoyed again.

"The Telmarines Prince Caspian X had to flee the castle. He blow a horn we were told", Reepicheep explains.

Lucy was angry that was why she was here all because of a stupid horn and probably Aslan. She really was going to show her displeasure on her so-called siblings.

They stayed where they were that night. Lucy had a bad nightmare but Matthew woke her up before the mice heard. Lucy always had nightmares after all she has been through it was to be expected. But Matthew never complained about her waking him up every night. He just held her tight after she woke up in a panic.

Matthew held Lucy as she started to calm down. That nightmare had been worse to him unlike her other ones. It was on par with her nights she first had when they ran away. He knew they would probably not get any better while they were here. He hoped he would be able to offer Lucy some comfort and get her back home soon…

Lucy tries to get the nightmares out of her mind. They were of her siblings leaving her again or watching as she was abused.

She hated that these nightmares were coming all because she was bloody in Narnia again. And she was probably going to see her bastard siblings again.

Of course they would make her normal nightmares worse. How much she hated them. She hoped she got out of here soon. She wanted to get on with her life. Forget about Narnia all together and hopefully that she ever had siblings.

If only she was that lucky…
