Lucy started to talk about Mr Tumnus "... Lots of lovely food, and..." Lucy stopped in her tracks.

The rest of the Pevensie's looked up to see what Lucy was looking at. Mr Tumnus's doe was open and destroyed. Lucy started to run towards Mr Tumnus's house. "Lucy" they all screamed, and ran after Lucy.

They walked into Mr Tumnus's house, with Peter leading, to find it destroyed. "Who would do something like this" Lucy whispered looking around. Peter saw a piece of paper stuck to the wall and ripped it off. Peter started to read it out loud.

"The faun Tumnus is hereby charged with high treason against her imperial majesty, Jadis, Queen and f Narnia" Peter paused. "For comforting her enemies and fraternizing with humans, signed Maugrim, captain of the secret police. Long live the queen" Peter continued.

Susan snatched the paper out of Peter's hand. "Alright," she said "now we really should go back" Susan said. "But what about Mr Tumnus?" Lucy asked worried.

"If he was arrested just for being with a human, I don't think there's much we could do" Susan said looking down at Lucy. "you don't understand, do you?" Lucy said looking around at everyone. "I'm the human, she must have found out he helped me" Lucy said.

"Maybe we can call the police" Peter said pulling Everly into him and picking her up. "These are the police" Susan said.

"Don't worry Lu, we'll think of something" Peter said, rubbing Everly's back knowing how much she hated them arguing. "Why" Edmund asked. "I mean, he's a criminal" Lucy was hurt at what Edmund had said.

All of the sudden they could hear a bird chirping outside, they all walked outside to hear a bird make a 'psst' noise. "Did that bird just 'psst' at us" Susan asked, turning around to glance at the rest of her siblings.

When they stepped closer the bird flew off, they all jumped when they heard a rustling in the bushes. Peter squeezed Everly tighter. The rustling got closer and closer.

They jumped when they saw a beaver jump out of the bushes, but were relieved it wasn't something more dangerous.

"It.... It's a beaver" Lucy said, looking at it confused. Peter put Everly down before stepping closer to the beaver "here boy" Peter said clicking his tongue. Peter did it a few more times before the beaver stood on its back legs.

"Well I ain't gonna smell it, if that's what you want" the beaver said, shocking everyone. Lucy and Everly let out a couple of giggles. "Oh, sorry" Peter apologized, looking a little embarrassed. Making the youngest Pevensie's giggle more.

"Lucy and Everly Pevensie?" The beaver asked looking at them, making Peter pull Everly close. "Yes?" Lucy confirmed, walking my a little closer to the beaver.

The beaver held out something in his hand for Lucy to take, stepping closer she could see it was the handkerchief she gave to Mr Tumnus.

Lucy took it off the beaver "that's the hankie I gave to Mr Tum" "Tumnus" the beaver finished. "He gave it to me just before they took him" the beaver continued. "Is he all right?" Lucy asked. The beaver looked around before whispering "further in"

The before turned and ran back into the forest, Peter and Lucy went to follow before Susan stopped them. "What are you doing?" She asked. "She's right. How do we know we can trust him?" Edmund asked.

"He said he knows the faun" Peter simply said. "He's a beaver, he wouldn't be saying anything" Susan replied looking at Peter like he was crazy.

"Everything alright?" The beaver asked coming back to stand in front of the siblings. "Yes we were just talking" Peter said turning around to face the beaver. "That's left for safer quarters" the beaver whispered before disappearing back into the woods.

"He means the trees" Lucy said looking around. Susan and Edmund shared a look before the five sibling went to follow the beaver.
