Chapter 5: The Prophecy

~3rd Person P.O.V.~

The five all walk around, their giant fluffy coats keeping them warm. Peter has ahold of Y/n's hand as they walk behind the group, occasionally glancing at her from time to time. They all come to a stop once they see a lamppost in front of them before continuing.

As they walk down a hill, Peter runs forward, pulling Y/n along with him. He drops onto the snow, pulling Y/n down. She squeals, then giggles as Peter, Susan, and Lucy do the same. Y/n sits up as Peter stares at her, slowly tucking a peace of hair behind her ear, making blood rush to her cheeks.

She stands up, holding out a hand for the blonde, which he gratefully takes.

"...lots and lots of lovely food, and we'll have lots and lots of..." Lucy trails off once she sees Mr. Tumnus' front door broken down.

The four behind her all stop in their tracks, looking at the girl in confusion and concern.

"Lu?" Y/n asks.

Suddenly, the little girl runs forward.

"Lucy!" Peter exclaims as him and Y/n run after her, Edmund and Susan following them.

They all walk in and glance around, seeing Mr. Tumnus' home, now abandoned. Lucy looks around in a sad expression.

"Who would do something like this?" She asks herself.

Y/n walks towards a piece of paper, ripping it off the wall. Peter instantly goes to her side, reading it over her shoulder. ""The faun Tumnus is hereby charged with High Treason against Her Imperial Majesty, Jadis, Queen of Narnia, for comforting her enemies and fraternizing with humans. Signed Maugrim, Captain of the Secret Police.""

""Long Live the Queen."" Y/n finishes.

Susan takes the paper from her hands. "Alright. Now we really should go back."

"But what about Mr. Tumnus?" Lucy immediately asks, gripping Y/n's hand.

"If he was arrested just for being with a human, I don't think there's much we can do." Susan tells her.

"You don't understand, do you?" At that, they all look at the youngest. "I'm the human. She must have found out he helped me."

"Maybe we could call the police." Peter suggests.

"These are the police." Susan reminds, holding up the paper.

"Don't worry, Lu." Y/n assures the girl. "We'll think of something."

"Why?" Edmund finally speaks up. The four look at him as he continues. "I mean, he's a criminal."

Before any of them could say anything, a bird chirps at them, making all their heads snap to the animal.

Susan turns to Peter and Y/n curiously. "Did that bird just "psst" us?"

Peter then walks out, Y/n following, and the others following her. The bird flies away, then a branch breaking is heard from beyond the trees. Footsteps are heard all around the five, making them huddle up together.

Y/n puts her hand on Peter's shoulder, staying close to him as Susan grips her arm and Lucy grips Susan's. Instantly, Peter puts his hand on Y/n's, squeezing it tightly, not letting go. Edmund stood a couple feet away from them.

Just then, a beaver slowly comes out from where it was hiding.

"It... it's a beaver." Lucy stammers in confusion.

The beaver slowly crawls towards the five, them taking little steps forward. Peter takes his hand off Y/n's and puts his hand out for the beaver, rubbing his fingers together.
