It Was Only Doing Its Job!

Start from the beginning
                                        

Peter's face was starting to turn blue. Holding my breath to avoid consuming the putrefying smell, and gathering as much magic as possible, I flung both hands forwards. The spell hit the giant right in its big ugly Umbridge- looking face. It staggered, then paused for a moment in midair before finally losing its footing and crashing down the side of the cliff.

Yes we were on a cliff Gila, did I not mention this before? Okay well, we're on a cliff. Lucy's just seen Aslan. I don't know. Yes that cliff, Alex. Thank the gods someone is cultured and educated in legendary films and books here.

Sorry yes of course. So,

Lucy and Susan hugged Peter whilst I sat down on the grass. And um...

Cried...

"What? Say that again, I didn't hear you." Percy or Harry or Alex demanded
"I um.." I cleared my throat, "I sat on the ground and well... started... Crying?"
"Okay.... why were you crying?" Harry or Alex or Percy asked
"Urgh do I have to tell you?"
"Yes!" Gila intruded
I looked at her exasperated.
"Fine! I started crying because I felt bad about killing the giant."
"Seriously?" Harry or Alex or Percy asked
"Yes! I didn't want to kill it! It was only doing its job!"
"Okay. Sympathy for giant- never heard that one before." Percy or Harry or Alex scoffed.
"To be fair, it was only following orders from that crazy white witch lady." Harry or Alex or Percy commented.
"Doesn't mean it could squeeze Peter half to death." Percy or Alex or Harry protested.
"If it didn't, the white witch would have turned him to stone!" I pointed out.
"Better that than having to live with the guilt of killing someone." Alex or Harry or Percy said quietly.
We fell silent.
"Okay, well if you didn't want to kill the giant, why didn't you just, you know, save Peter, rather than going for the giant?" Percy or Alex or Harry suggested.
"Because I didn't think!" I wailed, "It was my first time okay!?!"
"Okay okay. What did Peter say then?" Harry or Percy or Alex asked.
"Fifty dollars says he said the same thing." Percy or Harry or Alex said.
"Pretty much yeah. Peter was like: Anyna, the giant was trying to kill us."
"What did you say?"
I blushed.
"I wailed something really stupid, of course, and almost told them about World War Two."
"What?!?"
"I know it was really bad... I think I said something along the lines of:

It was only doing its job! The Germans don't want to fight but they have to because otherwise they'd get shot, especially under a psycho like Hitler! It's like a kill or be killed situation.

Then they were like: "Who's Hitler?" So I had to quickly change the subject."

"Just so you know, Gila, if I wasn't tied to this chair, I would come over and personally punch Anyna in the face." Alex or Percy or Harry stated and one of the others snorted.
"Gods knows I deserved it." I agreed
"Anyna, continue." Gila scolded.
"Yup yup okay. Moving on. So

In between sobs, I managed to apologise for killing the giant apologise for crying apologise for breaking Susan's bow and then repaired Susan's bow.

Half an hour later, we set off walking once again.

Finally, as we neared Aslan's camp. When we eventually got there, I essentially just panicked. I concluded I definitely didn't want to see Aslan. I felt sicker than with the giant. Which is why it came as a kind of relief when Amy texted me to remind me about the Ball (I know, another one -please don't ask) so I stopped them before they walked into the camp and explained how I had to leave.

"What? You're not going to see Aslan?"
"Um well no..." I laughed nervously, "I don't know what Aslan would say if he saw me... i'm not really supposed to be here... I should probably just go, I just wanted to say bye it was fun seeing you all... i'll... um... come back another time.... and meet, um, Aslan with you all, um-" I broke off because Lucy hugged me.
"Thank you." She whispered.
Hey, she was cringy like that.

I hugged Lucy back, because i'm not a mean person, then said goodbye to Peter, Susan and the Beavers.
"I'll come back," I promised them- ahh no this next bit's so cringy whatever, "You'll see me soon (Ha no you wont) I just don't think i'm ready to meet Aslan yet."

Aaaand then I never actually went back to see Aslan... because life got in the way. Anyways that was my first time hope you enjoyed my wonderful past cringy self let us continue!
