Chapter Fourteen
Finally the Court yard
Susan helped Edmund along with Lucy running behind them, they finally reached the last door, and entered the court yard it was silent, for now.
"Susan," Lucy said trying to get Susan to listen her, once through the door Susan finally turned to her with Edmund looking even worse.
"What is it Lucy?" Susan asked.
"Will you let me heal Edmund?" Lucy asked and then she saw the realization enter Susan eyes.
"Oh Lucy, Edmund I'm sorry, I should have let you do that before Lucy, I was just so worried about getting out of that room," Susan said as she gently sat Edmund down on the grass of the court yard.
"It's okay Su, you were just trying to protect us," Edmund said with a force smile.
Lucy sat down beside her brother and pulled out her cordial bottle, he unscrewed the top and tilled her brother's head back and carefully placed a drop into his mouth.
After a few minutes, Edmund felt better, the cordial didn't heal him completely, his broken ribs still ached but he felt a lot better then he did before.
Edmund slowly pushed himself up, with the help of Lucy he was able to stand completely.
"Are you alright?" Lucy asked as she helped her brother up.
"Much better then I was, thank you Lucy," Edmund said with smile.
"You're welcome," Lucy said putting her cordial back into her belt.
"Are you sure you're alright Ed?" Susan asked looking at her brother still worry in her eyes.
"I'm okay Su, my ribs still ache, but I'll be alright, lets find the ice flower," Edmund said as he once again took the lead.
The three siblings walked in a straight line, Edmund, Lucy, then Susan walked down the grassy court yard, another ten minutes went by before Lucy spotted something shining in the grass at the very end of the court yard.
"Look!" Lucy said pointing at the small shine that both Edmund and Susan could now see.
The three siblings were by the small shine in the middle of the court yard, it was a small white flower, it sparkled like ice.
"That's it," Susan said with a smile.
"Alright Lucy, this is you job, remember once you pick it, you can not loose it," Edmund reminded her.
Lucy nodded, and slowly stepped forward. She swallowed hard, and then reached out and slowly place her hands around the flowers stem. Edmund and Susan looked back to make sure nothing was in sight then they nodded at Lucy and Lucy slowly picked the flower, as she did one of the petals slowly fell to the ground.
"Ops," Lucy said as she watched the petal fall.
"No, that's going to happen Lu, Phillip told me about it," Edmund said rubbing his side, "Every hour a petal will fall, until there are no more, it we don't get this flower to Peter before the last petal falls it will do Peter no good and he will die."
"Then we have to hurry," Lucy said placing the flower gently into her pocket.
Just as they turned to go back the way they came another troll entered the court yard. Edmund turned to his sisters.
"Well, we're not getting out the same way we came in, but don't worry I know another way to the dungeon, follow me," Edmund said and then turned leading his sisters down one of the many hidden path ways the lead out of the court yard, Edmund just hoped he had picked the right one.
