Chapter 6: Hunted

~3rd Person P.O.V.~

The three Pevensie's, Y/n, and Mr. Beaver all ran through the woods, making their way to where Edmund was walking.

"Hurry!" Peter calls back, his grip on Y/n's hand tightening.

They all soon make it up a hill, only to stop in their tracks, seeing a beautiful ice castle meters away from them. Just barely, they could make out a small figure walking to it.

"Edmund!" Lucy suddenly screamed out.

"Shh! They'll hear you!" Mr. Beaver exclaims in a whisper.

Clenching his jaw, Peter runs forward, wanting to get his brother. He didn't make it far as Beaver grabbed ahold of his arm, stopping him from leaving.

"No!"

"Get off me!"

"You're playing into her hands."

"We can't just let him go!" Susan speaks up.

"He's our brother!" Lucy adds.

"He's the bait! The Witch wants all five of you!"

"Why?" Y/n asks.

"To stop the prophecy from coming true. To kill you!"

The four kids all turn their gazes back to the castle, just seeing the small figure of Edmund walk through and the doors close behind him.

Susan then glares at her brother, walking forward. "This is all your fault."

"My fault?" Peter questions.

"None of this would have happened if you had listened to me in the first place!"

"Oh, so you knew this would happen."

"I didn't know what would happen. Which is why we should have left while we still could!"

As the two siblings argued, Lucy clung onto Y/n tightly, which the girl did the same, wrapping her arms around her petit figure.

"Stop it!" Lucy shouted to her two older siblings, clinging onto Y/n more tightly.

Y/n glances between the two, disappointed that they were arguing at a situation like this. "This isn't going to help Edmund." Peter noticed the look in her eyes and frowned, staring at his feet.

"They're right." Mr. Beaver speaks. "Only Aslan can help your brother now." He says, looking up at Peter.

"Then take us to him." The blonde says before all their gazes turn back to the castle.

As they were, in the corner of her eye, Y/n sees something glowing. Looking down, she sees that her snowflake necklace was the source of it. Keeping one arm wrapped around Lucy, she used her other hand to grab the jewelry, staring at the glowing charm of a snowflake.

What she didn't know, was that the White Witch noticed this. As she too had the same necklace, glowing brightly like the h/c haired girls.

Y/n?

The five of them all ran back to the dam, where Mrs. Beaver was waiting inside.

"Hurry, mother! They're after us!" Beaver exclaimed.

"Oh, right then." Mrs. Beaver starts gathering food up.

"What's she doing?" Y/n asks Beaver.

Beaver sighs and shakes his head as Mrs. Beaver answers. "Oh, you'll be thanking me later. It's a long journey and Beaver gets pretty cranky when he's hungry."
