Adriana's Pov
The next morning we go about a normal day. We're all talking about what's happening, what we think's going to happen, and we practice. Not very exciting, but we never know what's going to happen. You always have to be prepared.

Then a faun runs into the room, "your majesties, a Telmarine has been spotted along the forest line" he informs us.

"Thank you" Peter says and we start to gather a meeting.

"It won't be long until the Telmarines come, Miraz's men and war machines are on their way" Peter says, "which mean those same men aren't protecting his castle."

"What do you suggest we do your majesty?" Reepicheep asks, "we need to secure the fort" "we need to keep planning forward" Caspian and Peter say at the same time.

They look at each other then Caspian looks away. "Our only hope is to strike them before they strike us" Peter says.

"Well that's crazy no one has ever taken their castle" Caspian warns.

"There's always a first time" Peter retorts back, I have a bad feeling about this. I look over at Edmund who's sitting beside me and he gives me a 'not so certain' look as well.

"We'll have the element of surprise" Trumpkin (idk how to spell his name) says, "but we have the advantage here" Caspian fights back calmly.

"If we dig in we could probably hold them off indefinitely" Susan steps up and Peter gives her a glare, "I for one feel safer underground" Trufflehunter says.

"Look I appreciate what you've done here, but this isn't a fortress, it's a tomb" Peter says walking up to Caspian.

"Yes and if they're smart, they'll just wait and starve us out" Edmund speaks out.

"We could collect nuts!" A squirrel says, "yes! And throw them at the Telmarines!" Reepicheep sarcastically says, "Shutup." And I couldn't help but giggle a little.

"I think you know where I stand sire" Reepicheep says again.

There was silence for a bit and everyone was just looking around. "If I get your troops in can you handle the guards?" Peter asks a centaur.

"Or die trying, my league" he answers.

"That's what I'm worried about" I speak up and everyone looks at me, "what?" Peter asks.

"We're all acting like there's only two options here" I say, "dying here or dying there."

"If only you were listening Adriana" Peter says and my eyes widen.

"No you're not listening. Or have you forgotten who really defeated the White Witch Peter" Lucy steps in.

Once again there's silence and everyone looks back at me and Peter gives me a glare. "Do what you wish" I simply say and let go of Edmunds hand and walk out of Aslans how and onto the lookout ledge to get some fresh air.

"Adriana" a hear a voice call out, I turn around and see Lucy run up towards me.

"Why aren't you going to lead us?" She asks sitting down beside me.

"It looks like Peter and Caspian have it sorted" I answer and she gives me a funny look, "well kind of. I don't want to make matters worse" I say.

"But you defeated the White Witch last time" she says, "if you lead us again we could defeat the Telmarines too."

I shrug my shoulders, I want to help but it doesn't look like Peter wants any help. Caspian's trying to help but Peter just doesn't seem to be open to any other ideas but his. "Come on" I say putting a smile on my face, "let's go back" and we both stand up and walk back into Aslans how.
