I knew i had to do something. As of now, all the attention was on the older man and Rose, so I quickly crawled behind where Rose was. The boys didn't seem to notice.
" Rose, It's me, don't turn around otherwise it will cause suspicion. I'm going to untie you now, here's my dagger, now when you have the chance, stab the man and run with the others " I whispered to her, untying her, then passing her the dagger.
I felt slightly uncomfortable in hurting someone, but he did capture Rose and me-dish. So it must be the right thing to do. Plus, the stab may not be fatal. t could be just a graise compared to a 'murder'.
Oh for the love of Aslan, please forgive me.
It all happened in a few seconds. Rose lunged from the chair and stabbed the mans shoulder, causing him to fall in pain.
She stuffed the dagger in her belt and then ran.
Ed, Caspian and I weren't far behind, but Rose was further. It seemed she just wanted to get a way a lot more eagerly.
" This way " Caspian yelled, but she just kept running towards the sand. In the opposite direction where our camp was.
" Rose! ROSE! " Caspian and Ed shouted over each other.
" I'll get her " I said which stopped them talking.
" Go back to camp; it's fine " I exclaimed, reassuring them.
After that i ran after Rose.
For god sake, she had to be a fast runner didn't she?
" ROSE " I yelled after her, but it wasn't until my tenth attempt at shouting her name, that she stopped.
More like collapsed.
" Rose! " I said, trying to catch my breath as i got to her.
She remained silent, she had organised her legs into a sort-of yoga position and had her eyes closed.
" Rose, listen to me, whatever those men did to you, it's over now- your safe- you have me, Ed, Caspian, the crew and- "
" But that's just it " She replied, her voice cracking.
I sat down next to her asking what she was on about.
" I can't put your lives in danger like that again, so- so I'm withdrawing from the mission. " She replied once more- looking out to sea.
" Rose! You can't do that! We've got each others backs! Plus, we're miles away from your home so how would you even get there for a start "
" I'd....swim " She replied shortly, and i just laughed, which made her smile.
" See? We need you just as much as you need us- we're a team, and I know someone who needs you most- SO- if I am right, we're going back to camp- setting sail for-" I stopped in my tracks.
Infront of us was a blue, almost-unbeable light.
" What IS that? " I asked, standing up as Rose did.
" I..I don't know.. let's just go back to camp and tell the others "
But as we turned around we heard a female voice.
" Up in the blue, blue sky- you'll see me up very high;
Although, your troubles may disappear for now,
they will return , and I'll tell you how.
the green mist is forming bigger and bigger,
and soon it'll reach you as you dig deeper.
Into the truth of Narnia, and all the lies
to the beauty it shows, and the ugly it hides.
Follow me, in your ship and I'll help you on your quest,
To retrieve all the swords, however don't be stressed.
Follow me, and I shall take you to an island;
where three swords lay, its my home, my land.
Lords of Narnia sit here,
Because they were selfish- had too much wine and beer.
However, just follow me, and I'll finish your story,
Fulfill your wishes and bring you your glory "
" Who are you? " Rose said sternly, but there was no reply, and suddenly the blue light shot off, into the sky, and there it stayed.
" Do you think we should trust it? " I asked Rose, whilst we were heading back to camp.
" Let's just tell the others " Rose stated, and we walked in silence along the beach.
