Love, Heartbreaks, and War

Chapter 6: Telemarines

That night, I couldn't fall asleep at all. Grandmother's death and all of this contributed.

I huffed out a sigh as I got up from bed. I crept out of my room and crept into the other room where Caspian and Xavier were.

They both appeared to be sleeping. I called out to Xavier.

"Xavier." I whispered.

I continued to whisper his name, until Caspian got up. Oh, I didn't mean to wake him up.

"Sabrina? What's wrong?" He asked as he approached me.

"I-I couldn't sleep." I replied."Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. I was calling for my brother."

"Let's go in your room so we don't wake him up." Caspian suggested.

"Alright."

With that we left the room and entered mine where Caspian closed the door behind him.

I sat down on the bed and Caspian sat down next to me. He observed my violin which was near us on top of its case.

"You play?" He asked.

I nodded."I play when I feel sad or when I want to be alone. I often put whatever I am feeling into what I play."

He had a warm smile."Well, let's hear it."

"But what about the others?" I asked."Surely they'd hear it."

He waved it off with a wave of his hand."So let them. I want to hear you."

I then reluctantly grabbed my violin and began to play. I had forgotten that he was there as I poured my emotions into the violin. Once I was done, Caspian clapped.

"Bravo! That was beautiful." He commented.

I smiled."Thanks, I've been playing on it for two years now. My grandmother thought it would be good if I began to play..."

I trailed off as I got teary eyed. I'm still emotion about losing her.

"Sabrina?" Caspian asked as he peered into my face."Why are you crying?"

"It's nothing." I replied hastily."I don't want to burden you with anything."

"You're not burdening me with anything. On the contrary, it'll help you." Caspian protested.

Touché. I reluctantly replied."Xavier's and my grandmother had just past a few days ago leaving us with no family at all."

"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that." Caspian said.

I then leaned my head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around me.

"You didn't know." I said."I'm sorry about your throne."

"Don't be. I shall get that throne back anyways, especially that now you're here." Caspian replied."I have heard of you all from the tales my professor would tell me. I know that you and your brother are half Jinns and half giants. You guys sound amazing."

I smiled."Thanks."

We stayed like this for a while. Then he went back to his room and I eventually went to bed. Caspian's a good guy.

And handsome. Shut up Sabrina! What am I thinking. I mentally shook my head.

The next day after breakfast, Caspian wanted to have a meeting with the rest of the Narnians.

"Sabrina, Xavier can you come with me? To help convince them that I am on their side." Caspian asked.

"Of course." I replied.

"And why should I help you?" Xavier tested him.

"Xavier." I scolded."Please don't do this."

He huffed out a sigh."Fine, I'll come along."

"I think you should wait though." Trufflehunter suggested.

"There's no time." Caspian replied."Come on guys."

With that Xavier and I grabbed our things and we left Nikabrik and Trufflehunter behind.

I stood next to Caspian as we travelled to the place where we'd meet.

"How did you find that horn?" Xavier asked Caspian.

"My professor gave it to me when he told me about all the fascinating stories about you all. The Kings and Queens of Old." Caspian explained."Especially you, Sabrina the Wise and Helpful, and Xavier the Strong, the two children of the white witch who helped King Peter, King Edmund, Queen Susan, and Queen Lucy.

"Narnians from all over sought you Sabrina, because they knew you'd give them wisdom that they'd only dreamed of." Caspian went on."And you'd help them in everything especially with your magic."

I gasped. That is true. He has learned about us.

"What about me?" Xavier asked.

"Ah, Lord Xavier the Strong." Caspian began."You defied your mother just like your sister did and you joined the battle against her. You fought strong and valiantly. During the golden age in which the Kings and Queens of old ruled, you helped them in all wars, battles, and in ruling Narnia."

Xavier widened his eyes."Blimey, he does know a lot about us."

"Definitely." I added.

He smiled."I loved hearing all about you guys. Those were my favourite tales."

"Well, we're honoured." I replied.

At that moment we heard a rustling noise coming from a few bushes. We turned to see Trufflehunter and Nikabrik trying to hide.

"We know you're here." Caspian said.

Trufflehunter and Nikabrik came out of their hiding spot.

"I think it would be best if we waited for the rest of the Kings and Queens of old." Trufflehunter suggested.

"Trufflehunter's got a point." I pointed out.

"We can't, we need to talk to the Narnians and get them to see that I am on their side." Caspian explained.

Nikabrik laughed."I'd love to see you try to convince the minotaurs and other creatures."

"They're real?" Caspian asked.

"Oh yes, every creature you can imagine is here in Narnia." Xavier explained.

At that moment Trufflehunter began sniffing the air.

"What is it?" Nikabrik asked.

"Human." Trufflehunter replied.

"Him?"

"No." Trufflehunter said shaking his head."Them."

We turned to see Telemarine soldiers with bows and arrows. There were several of them.

"There he is!"

"Run!" Caspian yelled as he grabbed my hand.

I tried not to blush as we began to run. We were being showered with arrows which we tried to avoid.

Trufflehunter ended up shot and at that same moment, I felt an arrow hit my leg. Ouch! I fell down next to Trufflehunter.

"Sabrina!" Xavier yelled.

Caspian immediately turned around. The pain was beginning to spread.

"I'll go." Caspian said.

He walked towards us and from our other side we saw the Telemarines closing in. It's no use, they're going to kill us all.
