ONCE THEY ARRIVED BACK AT CAMP WITH EDMUND, he was told Aslan wanted to see so spoke to the great lion before he had a chance to see his family whilst Hecta ,who still had her hood up, was being interrogated by a faun.

"Why wont you take your hood off?" He asked.

"Because I only take it off for the great lion. He is the only one I shall reveal my identity too." She said still with her Telmarine accent.

"Well no can do. Until you show your face I can only take messages and if it intrigues Aslan you can go through to see him. So do you have any messages." He asked becoming in a bad mood.

"Sé cómo matar a la bruja bruja, pero necesito ver a Aslan para ayudarte." Hecta said in her mothers language leaving the faun confused as he looked back towards his friend who understood what she said as his eyes grew wide.

"What does it mean?" The clueless faun asked as his friend ran up to him and spoke to Hecta.

"Tell us now." He ordered making her laugh slightly.

"No can do." She said as he saw her smirk.

"Well who would you want to talk to other than us because right now we have your sword that you happened to carry which means you're on the witches side!"

"Yes I am, so get me to Aslan or I could order Jadis to be here in a second!" She said calmly at first before she shouted at the faun losing her accent in the process.

"Grab her" He said as the clueless faun grabbed her with chains wrapped around her making the metal burn slightly at her skin but she didn't wince and still had her hood up.

As Edmund was about to go to sleep in his tent they all stopped when they heard the faun shout something. They turned around and saw 2 other fauns carrying a girl. Edmund recognised the clothes as girl in the woods but didn't say anything incase he was wrong.

"Aslan!" The faun says shouted. "We have some big news." 

"What is it?" Aslan said now very intrigued.

"This witchy over there wouldn't put her hood down and she said in the Telmarine language but I didn't know what she said but-"

"I did." The other faun said interrupting the clueless one. " She said she knew a way to kill the White Witch meaning she was on her side.

"Bring her forward" Aslan said. The two fauns dropped Hecta so she was knelt in front of Aslan with chains wrapped around her.

"Your greatness." She said with a Telmarine accent again.

"Show yourself." He demanded

She slowly took her hood down and pulled her hair out as best as she could with chains on her. The crowd gasps and whispers, some scream and run away. She looked up at the lion and started smirking.

"Hecta." He said shocked. Everyone thought Jadis had killed her and their parents but here she stood in front of them. The fauns quickly cover her hands with a metal handcuff so she couldn't escape that easily, or so they thought, and made her skin hurt

"That's smart. I dont blame you on that." She said laughing which caused the faun to kick her.

"How are you alive Hecta?" Aslan asked still in shock.

"Medea sent me on a mission to kill the Dryads who were making prophecy's about a witch killing the people who wrong her bla bla and then I couldn't go through with it. So when Medea found out she and Noel tried to kill me but I beat them to it. But I promised Jadis that I wouldn't kill them so when I heard her come downstairs I put an illusion of me dead with my parents and hid for all these years."

"And now after all these years you come back?" Aslan said unsure whilst Hecta nodded. "I dont buy it." The fauns then grabbed Hecta back up as she struggled against their grip.

"Fine. Suit yourself." Within seconds Hecta had knocked over the faun and struggled to get her chains off but managed to. 

Turns out that it wasn't the strongest metal they had so it didn't burn her skin and that's when the Pevensies know she was the witch. The sun started to grow darker as Hecta's fire lit the place up.

"I helped the Pevensies cross over as safely as I could and with that you should reward me for doing this by helping fix the mess I have created. And if you dont, then you can't win like the prophecy said." Aslan smiled knowing that what she had said about Hecta being on their side they would win.

"Your tent is with Lucy and Susan. I'll have the Dryads pick some clothes up for you." Some of the crowd gasped and talked. They thought she was still the villain they knew, but only if they knew a villain can never become a hero.
