Chapter 6

A/N: You know the drill

The celebrations that night were magnificent; there was singing and dancing, and fireworks. Telmarine and Narnians alike came to celebrate. I could take no comfort in it though. I walked among the trees; reveling in the peace.

'' Daughter of Eve.'' I spun around to find Aslan slowly coming toward me.

I kneeled to the ground, '' Aslan, you know I love you. That I would do anything you would ask of me, but I am confused. I need answers. Have I done something wrong?''

He looked at me sadly and touched his nose to my forehead, '' You are strong dear one. That is why you must complete the task.''

I clutched at the fur of his mane, '' What task?''

He seemed to dread the words which he spoke next, '' At the end of Caspian's reign history will repeat itself. A witch will come and beguile an innocent. You know the price for treachery. '' I nodded still not understanding, '' You must go to the witch and sacrifice yourself. I cannot offer myself up again dear one- and there will be no stone table..no resurrection.'' Tears started to fall from my eyes.

'' I will go to your country?'' He nodded his head. My head spun and I found it hard to breathe.

'' You must do this so Narnia can live on.''

'' Ed- Edmund..no of them will ever remember what truly happened in Narnia.''

'' I did it to lessen the pain of loss.''

'' Not my pain.'' I buried my face in his man and cried. I cried until I was gasping for breath and there were no tears left.

'' Go now and celebrate.''

'' I think that I will go to bed instead.' ' I wiped the tear tracks off my face as I walked back to my room. I made it to the door before I collapsed in front of it and slowly cried again.

'' Anna.'' I opened my eyes to find Edmund sitting next to me. '' What's wrong?'' I did not want to speak especially to him.

'' Just go Edmund. I want to be alone.'' Instead he wrapped his arms around me and I sunk into the feeling of him. '' He's assigned another task to me.''

He went rigid, '' What is it this time.'' He began stroking my hair; an all to brotherly gesture.

'' I-I ..Aslan said..'' I pulled myself out of his arms, '' I'm sorry Edmund, good night.'' I went to get up by Edmund held my hand.

'' No more secrets Anna. What happened.. I know we have forgotten..some things.. just don't know what. Please tell me.''

I kneeled back down and touched his cheek, '' It does not matter ..not now.'' I kissed his cheeks; lingering longer than I should have. '' Goodnight.'' I went into my room and shut the door behind me.

The next day I knew we were going to go home. I knew it when Aslan opened up the tree and I once more felt my heart break.

'' Our times up.'' Peter said. He and Susan would not be going back to Narnia and I knew there sadness was great. As I walked into doorway I lingered; taking one last look at Narnia, meeting Aslan's eyes I waved goodbye.

My magnificent pink dress had changed back into my skirt and tie for school.

'' Well we have had a time.'' Peter whispered to himself.

Edmund touched his shoulder, '' I am sorry to distress you Peter, but I've left my new torch in Narnia.'' Peter cracked a smile and we all started to laugh. I looked at all of them and a realization dawned on me. I would do it. Not just for Aslan or for Narnia, but for them. I would sacrifice myself for my family.

A/N: well that's the end. next will be Anna and the lady of the Green Kirtle. Please Review. I know this was short but I accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish.
