𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 the moment Peter and Y/n shared together, they both decided to go back to her tent and get some sleep. Y/n awoke to see Susan and Lucy following a shadow outside tent to which she assumed was Aslan, she knew exactly where he was going, to his death. Y/n debated going to see Aslan one last time but she didn't want her last memory of him to be her own mother stabbing him in the chest and seeing the life slowly fade from his eyes. Y/n decided to leave Susan and Lucy be they needed be there for him even though he was going to die. 

Y/n couldn't sleep knowing Aslan was seconds away from his death. She got out of bed and looked at Peter, who was still softly asleep next to Edmund. She debated waking them up and telling them about Aslan but in the back of Y/n's mind she knew Peter would go to save him and that was too dangerous. She had to wait until Aslan was actually dead. Only then will it give Peter the strength to fight.

Y/n stayed up that whole night waiting and waiting for any sign of Aslan's passing. Then Y/n saw it, the sign, the doors to the tent were flying open and the wind was whistling. This made Peter and Edmund jump up with surprise, the tree leaves flew circles around the three children. The two boys looked at Y/n confused and sadness filled her eyes.

"I need to tell you boys something." She said bluntly, they looked at each now their faces full of fear. Y/n took a deep breath.

"Aslan's dead." Y/n blurted out, there was no better way to say it.

"Wh...what?" Edmund stuttered.

"The other day when Jadis demanded she take you-" She pointed towards Edmund. "Aslan made a deal with her, to save your life in return for his." She was scared to meet their eyes.

"So what do we do now?" Edmund asked.

"We fight." Edmund nodded and left the tent to go tell the others of the tragic news. Y/n walked towards Peter who stayed in total silence. He wouldn't meet her eyes. 

"Are you okay?" She asked looking up at Peter's face which was filled with sadness.

"Yeah..." His voice echoed through her ears. He's never been this silent before.

"Can you at least look at me?" She pleaded, Peter clenched his jaw and kept looking away. Y/n placed her hand on his cheek and tried to turn his head towards her, at first he resisted but he eventually gave in and turned to look at her, he stared into her eyes.

"Are you mad at me?" Tremble filled Y/n's voice and Peter placed his hands on her waist, he couldn't resist her and hated seeing her hurt so he tried to comfort her without doing too much.

"No...I just wish you would've told me earlier." 

"I knew you would try and stop him if I did." Peter sighed and let go of her and out of Y/n's grasp. "He made that decision to save your brother. There was nothing you could've done to stop him." Y/n pleaded with him as Peter sat down on the bed. She walked towards him and placed her hands on his neck. "I'm sorry, I wanted to tell you but...I know you Peter, you try and save everyone and this time Aslan couldn't be saved. He didn't want to be." 

Peter sighed and nodded in agreement, he placed his hands on her thighs and pulled her into a hug. "I'm just scared. I don't want to do this alone."

"You're not alone. You'll always have me." Peter looked up at Y/n and stood up placing his hand on her cheek. 

"So will you. I'm yours Princess." He leant down and softy kissed her pulling her closer by the waist. They both fell into the kiss and let their bodies take over. When they pulled away, they leant their foreheads together and smiled. 

"We need to go, the others will be waiting for us." Peter nodded and they walked to Aslan's tent hand in hand.

When they arrived, they saw a Oreius, Edmund and a group of various warriors circled around a table. 

"Is it true, your highness?" One of the warriors asked. Peter looked at Y/n for comfort, she smiled and nodded to him, letting him know that it was gonna be okay.

"It is true, he's gone."

"Then you'll have to lead us. There's a whole army out there waiting to follow you." Edmund pointed towards the rest of the camp. Peter look was full of despair.

"I can't.." Those were all the words Peter could bring himself to say.

"Aslan believed you could. And so do I" Edmund reassured.

"What are your orders?" Oreius asked. Peter walked towards the map in which you could see the battlefield. He pointed towards the mountains first.

"Half of the army will be up here with bow and arrows ready to fire and Edmund will lead them." Edmund filled with excitement and Y/n softly smiled at him. "Then down here, the other half of the army will be ready to attack head on." The warriors nodded and started to prepare. The two boys and Princess went to get changed into their armour. Y/n left the tent and the boys stared at her. Peter looked at her up and down which made her blush.

"What's the matter boys? Never seen a girl in armour before." Y/n winked at the two boys making them both blush. 

They all got to the battlefield with Edmund and the beavers on top of the mountain and then Peter, Oreius and Y/n down below at the front of the army. On the other side of the battlefield was Jadis's army. Two gryphons flew over the army and landed right in front of Y/n and Peter.

"They come, your highness, in numbers and weapons far greater than our own." One of the gryphons said.

"Numbers do not win in battle." Oreius reassured.

"No, but I bet they help." Peter huffed. Y/n placed a hand on his shoulder and gave him a reassuring smile.

There was a minute of silence and from afar you could see Jadis's army charge forward. Peter looked towards Edmund and he looked back. 

"Go." Y/n instructed the gryphons and they flew off into the sky.

"Are you with me?" Peter asks looking to Oreius and Y/n.

"To the death." They both said in unison. Peter raised his sword and his horse neighed which echoed through the battlefield.

"FOR NARNIA. AND FOR ASLAN!" He shouted and within an instant the army rushed forward to attack. 

The battle was tough, Jadis's army seemed to be winning. Y/n was struggling to fight, she looked back at Peter nodding and giving him the signal.

"Fall back! Draw them to the rocks!" He shouted across the field. Edmund shouted 'fire!' and his side of the army shot arrows up into the sky. Peter and the rest carried on fighting, struggling to carry on.

Peter was growing tired and fell off his horse. 

"Peter!" Y/n shouted which caught Oreius attention, this made Oreius grew angry and he charged towards the army. Peter tried to protest them to stop but he didn't listen, Oreius roared up ready to attack but Jadis struck her staff and stabbed him in the belly turning him into stone almost instantly. Y/n screamed and grew angrier, she threw her sword on the ground and started to use her powers on the animals. Peter grew more worried hoping she wouldn't lose control.

Moments more into the battle, Peter's army continued to lose. He grew more worried and made the tough decision to order Edmund.

"Ed! There's too many of them! Go! Get out of here! Get the girls, and get them home!" He shouted and Mr Beaver dragged Edmund back up into the mountains. Peter looked to Y/n for a sign of what to do but he saw Y/n get more and more lost in her powers, killing every animal in her path ruthlessly.

Edmund starts to leave but turns back to see Jadis walking towards Peter who was distracted fighting another animal. The beaver protested against it but Edmund let go of the beaver's grasp.

"He's no king yet!" Edmund shouted and started running towards the Witch, he jumps and thrusts his sword through the Witches staff. She grew angry and with the broken part of her wand she stabbed through Edmund's stomach causing him to grunt in pain.

"EDMUND!" Peter shouted catching Y/n's attention and her eyes widened. Peter and the Witch started to fight and Y/n rushed towards him to help and just as Y/n was about to join in a roar was heard from afar causing them to turn towards the mountains. From the top of the mountains you could see Aslan surrounded by the two girls and his own army. Y/n breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, she started to regain control of her powers. Jadis was trapped in a trans and didn't realise Aslan rush towards her and tackle her to the ground. 

Aslan had her pinned to the ground and Y/n walked over to join them. Jadis turned to look at Y/n

"Are you really going to let him kill your own mother?" She asked smirking slightly. Y/n clenched his jaw and swallowed hard.

"A mother takes care of their child, yet you made me torture innocent beings and resulting in me killing my own best friend. What kind of mother does that? I'm sorry your life didn't work out the way you wanted it to, but that gave you no right to ruin mine. You never were my mother and hope you rot in hell." Jadis's face dropped and within a second Aslan pounced onto her and Y/n quickly looked away as a tear dropped from her eye.

Y/n and Peter met the two girls and they embraced but concern grew on Susan's face as she asked where Edmund was, we all looked around and then we saw the Dwarf standing next to Edmund who was laying on the floor helpless. The dwarf raised his axe and Susan shot an arrow in the Dwarfs chest, he fell in an instant and died. They all ran to Edmund's side who was hanging on to the edge of death. Y/n stroked his hair and let out a small cry, Lucy had an idea and poured one drop of her cordial into Edmund's mouth.

They all waited in anticipation and then Edmund gasped and spat out coughing. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and embraced Edmund. 

"When are you ever going to do as you're told?" Peter blurted out and we all laughed. Lucy suddenly got up and rushed over to another hurt animal and poured one drop of her cordial, she started to run over to more and more doing the same exact thing. Susan helped Edmund up and they embraced once more. 

Aslan started to walk back with Susan and Edmund on his back. Peter immediately rushed over to Y/n and held her. They pulled away after a few seconds and tears fell from Peter's eyes, Y/n wiped them away with her thumb.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Peter said worriedly. Y/n chuckled slightly.

"I'm okay, don't worry." 

"You scared me. I don't ever want to loose you. I-" Peter paused, Y/n looked into his eyes hoping he would finish the sentence, she knew exactly what he was going to say. There moment was interrupted by Aslan motioning for them to return. They both smiled at each other awkwardly and walked back towards Cair Paravel. 

The battle was over and the four heirs won. The White Witch was defeated and now there was only one more thing left.

The crowning.
