Never Let Go...

Summary: What if Edmund really believed in Lucy when she stumbled out of the wardrobe? Would Edmund still go to the White Witch? Would it change the prophecy?

Disclaimer: I don't own Narnia and I never will...

Chapter 1: Believing...

Lucy ran as fast as she could and stumbled out of the wardrobe. She had to tell the others about Narnia.

She ran through the corridors and shouted out "It's alright, I'm back, I'm alright!"

Edmund poked his head form the curtain and glared at Lucy. "Shut up he's coming!" he hissed.

Lucy was confused. It seemed that no time at all had changed. But then why was it dark in Narnia?

Peter came in the room with Susan behind him. "You know I'm not sure that you two have not quiet got the idea of this game." He said.

Lucy looked at Peter. "Weren't you wondering where I was?"

Edmund rolled his eyes. "That's the point. That's why he was seeking you." He replied, annoyed.

Susan appeared behind Peter and looked at him. "Does this mean that I win?" she asked.

Peter turned to Susan. "I don't think that Lucy wants to play anymore." He replied.

Lucy was even more confused than ever. She could only say. "But I've been gone for hours."

She led them to the spare room with the wardrobe while talking about what she found. When they entered the spare room Peter, Susan and Edmund looked at the wardrobe. Susan went first and opened the door while Edmund went behind it. Susan pulled the coats away and rattled her knuckles against the wood.

Disappointed she pulled away while Edmund banged his knuckles on the back of the wardrobe.

"Lucy the only wood in here is the back of the wardrobe." She confirmed.

"One game at a time Lu. We don't all have you're imagination." Peter said.

Peter and Susan starts to walk away. Edmund's feet wanted to move, but his body told him not to.

"I wasn't imagining!" she yelled.

Peter and Susan turned around to face her. "That's enough Lucy." Susan replied.

Lucy's eyes started to fill with tears. "I wouldn't lie about this." She croaked.

Edmund felt as though someone grabbed his heart and twisted it. He always hated seeing his little sister upset. But he knew that she wouldn't lie about anything. Even if there was a magical land called Narnia.

"Well I believe you." He said.

Peter, Susan and Lucy looked at him in shock.

"You do?" Lucy asked.

Edmund nodded. "Of course. You never lie about anything. You always tell the truth and as much as it pains me to admit it, I believe you about Narnia and I'm not making fun of you."

Lucy beamed and wrapped her arms around Edmund's waist. "Thank you Edmund." She whispered in his chest.

Edmund smiled. The first real smile since their father left to go to war. He wrapped his arms around Lucy's shoulders and pulled her close to him.

Peter and Susan were shock. Edmund believing Lucy was one thing. Edmund not making fun of her and letting her hug him was totally different.

Peter shook his head. "Edmund this is no time to joke around." Peter said.

Edmund and Lucy pulled apart. Edmund looked at Peter confused. "Peter I'm not joking. When has Lucy ever lied huh?" Edmund yelled, walking up to Peter slowly. "Peter if she says that there's a land in that wardrobe back there, then I believe her!"

Edmund couldn't say anything more when a hand struck him across his face which made him stagger back a little.

"Peter!" Susan exclaimed.

Peter looked like he just killed someone and Lucy's hand flew to her mouth in shock.

Edmund looked at Peter with so much hate that Peter cowered under his glare.

"I once said that you were trying to be father, but he would never do something like that to his own children." Edmund whispered before running out of the room with Lucy following him.

Susan glared at him. "Well that was nicely handled."

Susan walked out of the room to search for her younger siblings, leaving Peter standing there still. He walked over to the wardrobe and took one last look in it but there still wasn't a forest. He shut the door and walked out while closing the door behind him.

Edmund sat in the massive library while rubbing his cheek. Lucy poked her head in and walked over towards where Edmund was sitting.

"Edmund." She whispered.

Edmund looked at her and smiled a little. "Hey Lu, what's up?" he asked.

Lucy sat next to him. "Thank you Edmund, for believing in me." She whispered. "But why the change of heart?"

Edmund sighed. "I don't know. One minute I want to tease you and then the next something tells me that I'm going down a path that no-one can follow. It's like there's someone watching every move I make and telling me what is right and what is wrong." Edmund confessed. "Does that make sense?"

Lucy nodded. "Kind of."

She looked at Edmunds cheek and sighed. "Peter shouldn't have done that" she whispered.

Edmund shrugged. "It was going to happen anyway." He said.

Lucy shook her head. "Come on let's find Susan so she could clean you up."

Edmund nodded and followed Lucy in the search of their older sister who was sitting in the lounge room reading one of her books.

"Susan can you help me clean up Edmund?" Lucy asked.

Susan looked up and saw the bruise on Edmund's face and nodded. "Of course Lucy." She replied.

Susan, Lucy and Edmund walked over to the bathroom and grabbed the first aid kit. Edmund sat at the edge of the bath tub as Susan applied ointment on his face.

Edmund winced as she touched his cheek but let her continued. Susan sighed as she put on the bandaid.

"That's all I can do I'm afraid." She said.

Edmund nodded. "Thanks Susan." He replied.

Susan was shock that he actually said thank you to her but smiled. "You're Welcome Edmund."

Edmund followed Lucy to the girl's room as she started to talk about Narnia. Edmund listened fascinated. He knew that it was unusual for him to believe a little kids game, but he also knew that no matter what the situation she always told the truth.

After five hours of talking about Narnia, Mrs Macready called them down to dinner. When all of the Pevensie children were eating dinner with the professor, they didn't talk to one another unless the professor asked a question to one of them.

When dinner ended they got cleaned up and got ready for bed. Edmund and Lucy knew that from that moment on, nothing will ever be the same again.

A/N: This is my second Narnia fanfic. I really hated Edmund being a real stuck up jerk so I'm making him better...

Anyway, please review. The more reviews I get, the more I write...

Thanks
