chapter eleven; the truth will out.
。・:*:・゚☆


     THE EARLY EVENING LIGHT WAS WELCOMED WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM. The group of Narnians had been trudging towards the Telmarine castle for a little over two hours, their steps leaving imprints, great and small, into the earth. The dappled light sneaking through the foliage, left a warm glow of the contented sun on the shoulders of the group. Quite the pleasant sight to see. Daisy and Aslan were walking a little way behind the rest of the group, quietly murmuring to each other. On the other hand, Caspian was stood at the front of the group with Lucy, holding her hand whilst Daisy was walking alongside Aslan. The boy couldn't help but repeatedly look back at the girl ambling along beside the lion, a fond smile making it's way onto his features. "You fancy her, don't you?" Lucy piped up, still clutching the older boy's hand tightly.

     Caspian was taken rather aback, was his infatuation with Daisy Middleton so obvious to everyone around him? "Please don't tell her, Lucy." He pleaded, looking extremely panicked.

     Lucy simply shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. "Why shouldn't I, my best friend deserves to know if she has an admirer." Caspian, although rather anxious over what the youngest of the Pevensie siblings would tell Daisy, couldn't help but smile at the fact Lucy called his crush her best friend. It was ever so endearing.

     "Because I know that she'll never return my feelings." Caspian explained to the younger girl, hoping his answer was satisfactory.

     It wasn't.

     Lucy was exasperated. Was Caspian really that dim? "What do you mean 'never return my feelings'?! You almost kissed for goodness sake!" Lucy exclaimed earning some curious glances from the Narnians walking close by.

     "Shh!" Caspian hissed. "She might hear us!" Both Lucy and Caspian then turned to look at Daisy. The older girl was still stood beside Aslan, her hand absentmindedly stroking the lion's mane. Caspian thanked his lucky stars Daisy hadn't heard his conversation with Lucy. If she had, the boy might as well have impaled himself there and then.

     "I wonder what they're talking about?" Lucy wondered aloud.

     "Whatever it is," Caspian replied, "I'm sure it's none of our business. Come on, lets keep up with the rest of your siblings."

     Lucy then grabbed Caspian's hand once again and dragged him through the group of Narnians and back towards the front of the group, leaving Daisy and Aslan away from everyone else.

     None of their business. Both Caspian and Lucy hoped that was the case. But knowing Aslan, whatever he had told, and had yet to tell Daisy, would not only affect her, but everyone who was close to the girl.
