Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Turtles ❪✘❫

06 || Beavers

The four brothers marched through the winter woods together, bundled up in their coats and staying close for their protection. Leo, Don, and Mikey kept close to one another while Raph stayed away from the others, still somewhat annoyed and bored. He is always thinking of the White Witch, the woman who found im in the forest on her sleigh.

Everyone besides Raph was laughing and giggling, unable to contain their excitement. They were cheerful the entire way to Mr. Tumnus' house-- a home built inside a large rock.

"Guys, Mr. T is amazing. You're going to love him!" Mikey exclaimed, holding the warmth close to his body. "He has this really cool tea that reminds me of Sensei, he has these really crunchy biscuits--"

Leo laughed, catching up with Mikey. "I'm sure we'll like him, Mikey."

"You will." Mikey walked a little faster, feeling that he was almost to Tumnus' house. "He's got all of these cool stories about--" The young mutant looks up and sees he is just yards away from the steel door, but noticed something was wrong. The door to the faun's home had been pushed off of the hinges, hanging off of the frame. "No..." Michelangelo bolts for the door, his brothers rushing behind him.

"Mikey, wait!" Don called out.

Mikey runs into the home, finding the result. Furniture had been broken, glass is everywhere, food is scattered, and other objects are in different areas of the house, and Mikey was heartbroken to see that Tumnus was nowhere in sight. "Who would do something like this?"

Raphael walks through the house, too. He didn't see where he was stepping and eventually felt his foot hit a picture frame-- a photo of an older faun with scratch marks on the surface of the picture.

Leonardo breathed out, looking at a large piece of paper on a pillar. It had a fancy font and a signature at the bottom. Leo takes it down from the wall and begins to read. "The Faun Tumnus is hereby charged with High Treason against Her Imperial Majesty, Jadis, Queen of Narnia, for comforting her enemies and fraternizing with mutants. Signed Maugrim, Captain of the Secret Police. Long Live the Queen."

Donatello snatched the letter from Leo's hand and saw the huge red paw print at the bottom of the page. "All right, guys. Now we really should go back. This doesn't sound good."

"What about Mr. Tumnus, Donnie?" Mikey asked him.

"He was just arrested for being with a mutant," Don replied. "I don't think there's much we can do."

"You don't understand, do you?" Mikey says, getting his brothers' attention. "I'm the mutant. She must have found out he helped me."

Leo suggested an idea. "Maybe we should go to the police?"

"These are the police," Don says, already stressing.

"We'll think of something, Mikey." Leonardo says, hoping he could help his little brother. 

Raphael chuckled, looking at his brothers a few feet away. "Why? I mean, he's a criminal! We used to put criminals away and you all want to help one?"

The Brothers look at one another, unsure about what to do next. It was silent for only a short moment until a bird chirping outside of the house, letting out a human-like sound. "Psst!"

Donnie looked at Leo, confused about the logic of these current events. "Did that bird just 'psst' us?"

Leo shrugged, walking out of the destroyed home and into the sunlight. Raph, Don, and Mikey trail behind, seeing the same bid sitting on a branch on the closest tree. As soon as they entered the outside, the bird flew, disappearing into the woods.
