Everyone was on deck getting ready for a a fight. I saw green smoke swirling all around the ship. I heard whispers all around me.

"You are never good enough for the King, he called someone else beautiful. He has no interest in you." I heard a deep voice that I couldn't place.

"He only likes your body, just like me." I saw the green smoke forming into my brother and I quickly walked to Caspian and held his hand in mine.

Telling myself over and over again that this wasn't real. Caspian rubbed his thump over my hand but he was also distracted by the voices that haunt him.

"Keep away!" We heard a boaming voice somewhere deep in the cave. "Keep away!"

"Who is there?" Edmund questioned again.

"We do not fear you." Caspian said to the boaming voice. Was that person controlling the evil?

"Nor I you?" The boaming voice said again which made me confused.

Edmund grabbed his flashlight and pointed it over the cave. Near one of the bolders stood an old man, scared out of his mind.

"Keep away!" He screamed again. "You will not defeat me." He held up his sword.

"Caspian." Emdund said and I looked closer to the sword the man was holding. "His sword."

Caspians eyes grew wide and he let go of my hand and walked up to the railing of the boat. "Lord Rhoop."

"Stand down." Caspian said to the crew who had crowsbows pointed to the Lord. "Let's get him on board, quickly."

Eustace sweeped in behind the man and picked him up with his claws, dropping him on the boat. The man quickly stood up and pointed his sword at everyone.

"Calm down, my Lord." But that didn't really calm down the lord. "We are not here to hurt you, I am your King, Caspian."

"Caspian?" The Lord said in question. He turned around to Caspian with a gasp. "My Lord. You should not have come. There is no way out of here."

The fear was swirling in his eyes and he stood up and looked at the crew.

"Quickly, turn this ship about before it is too late!" He pleaded.

Everyone got quick and got ready to turn the ship around after Caspian confirmed his plead.

"Do not think!" The Lord quickly walked up to Caspian. "Do not let it know your fears, or it will become them."

Someone is going to be stupid, because this is not how a story should end. Not this easy.

"Oh no." I heard Edmund say.

"God damnit Edmund." "Edmund, what did you just think of?" Lucy and I said at the same time.

"I am sorry." He quickly walked up to the railing and looked into the water. I followed him and saw some rocks in the water moving.

The moving bolders quickly dissapeard in the water. A strong hit against the ship followed. Making everyone fall to the ground.

"It is too late." The Lord said while looking in the water. "It's too late!" He screamed.

In the water was this long big thing weaving through the water. It was gone in a matter of seconds.

"It is under the boat!" I heard a crewman scream.

"Gael!" Lucy screamed on top of her loungs.

Gael was sitting at the other side of the ship and a big snake like monster emerged from the mist. It had vibrent orange eyes and a million theeth. Why couldn't Edmund be scared of puppies or something. Why does he has to be scared of a water serpent.

Gael quickly reunited with her father after Lucy helped her up on her feet.

Eustace came for the win and spewed fire at the monster. He attacked the serpent with his claws and theeth. The serpent was fighting back and threw him against the boat and some big boulders.

"Eustace! Hang on!" I heard Reep scream from the boat.

Eustace got up and flew around the boat for another attack, but the monster was quicker and grabbed him and pulled him underwater.

"Eustace!" I screamed. I climbed up the railing ready to jump in the watter with both my daggers in my hands.

But before I could I got pulled back by Caspian. "Are you creazy Lilith, it will kill you in an instant."

Before I could anwser him I saw the snake emerge from the water and threw Eustace against one of the boulders. He was still breathing, but I could see he was hurt.

The snake went for the final kill but Eustace spewed flames at the creature which made it cry out of pain.

"Out! Creature!" The Lord pushed his way through the crew and threw his sword at Eustace, impaling his shoulder. Eustace screamed in pain and quickly flew away.

The Lord was acting crazy and pushed everyone aside to get to the wheel.

"Stop him!" "Don't!" I heard people scream.

The Lord pulled at the wheel which made the ship move, but the captain quickly punched him, making the lord fall on the floor, knocked out.

The captain was screaming orders and everyone was quick to help.

All of the sudden I saw a bird flying out of nowhere. It came from some sort of light, which was weird.

The snake wasn't forgotten and it sprung out of the water and over our boat. Crushing it.

Caspian was at the wheel and was screaming orders at Edmund. I knew his plans when I saw him frantically looking around. He was going to crush the monster against the rock.

I went to help Edmund to make sure the snake stayed at the good sight of the boat.

Edmund went to the front of the ship and pointed his flashlight at the monster. It went forward to grab Edmund but I quickly grabbed my dagger and impaled the monster in his body that was still rapped around the boat.

It screamed but before he could go around to hurt me, it was crushed against the bolder. He did let go of the ship but I was too late to see it.

Some robes were bounded around my dagger and my hand and I flew overboard in the cold water.
