Peter couldn't sleep so he decided to go and check on the girls when he noticed Alessa wasn't sleeping as well

"Terra can we talk please" Peter said to the girl quietly and when she nodded they went to the cliff where Ed and Aslan were previously talking

"What is going on" she asked the blonde boy

"I wanted to thank you"

"For what"

"For.. well.. everything you did for us but mostly for helping Ed"

"You know I wasn't alone there"

"Still.. so thank you" he smiled as he went and hugged her

She hugged him back and they stayed like that for a while

"You are so cold" he said

"Well it's a cold night out" she laughed as he put his cloak on her and they lay on the edge of the cliff looking at the stars

"I was seven when they died"

"What" Peter asked confused

"My parents" she said "I was seven when I decided to surprise them with an afternoon breakfast so I turned the
hot-plate on and I guess I left something around it because the only thing that I remember were the firefighters telling me my parents aren't coming out of the apartment"

"I am sorry Terra" Pete said "but how did you got to live in Kirke's mansion"

"Kirke and my mom were friends and when I was born he became my godfather and when my parents died my grandma, who is my only alive blood relative, didn't want me she decided to send me to live with him" she asserted as she looked at him

Peter didn't know if it was the situation they were in or he was really feeling something for her but he decided to dive in the moment so he leaned to lie on top of her scared as she lifted her head and put her arms on his cheeks and kissed him with the same confusion in her

"I- I am sorry" he said as he got up

"It's alright Pete, don't worry"

"I think we should go back before the others come looking for us"

"She is right" Peter said when he left Aslan's tent "He is gone "

"Then you will have to lead us" Alessa said as she rested her hand on his shoulder

"There is an army ready to follow you Peter" Edmund said

"I can't" the blonde boy said

"Yes you can Pete, if you don't try you will loose the chance" Alessa said and Edmund added "Aslan believed you could, so do I"

"The Witch's army is near sir" Oreius "What are your orders"

Peter looked at them and then looked the map in front of him
