The Lone Islands// Edmund Pevensie (#Wattys2016)

23- Eustace

Caspian hurried us off the ship- and when I say hurried, I mean literally pushing us and a crew member even fell offboard...or was that just in my imagination?

Anyway, He led us onto the island and it was a waste of land if you ask me. Miles and miles are sand and stone are to be seen for miles but no resources or even any green are to be seen.

" Your majesty, there doesn't seem to be anything here- " Reepicheep started as the members agreed.

" Well I'm sure something's here " Caspian exclaimed,but looked around with doubt. "Keep looking for food and water- whilst Queen Lucy, King Edmund and Princess Rose come with me" He continued which gave a massive wave of annoyance.

" You're not leaving me in the hands of this crew are you Lucy? Especially that rat " I said, walking towards them.

" Umm.. " Lucy began but Edmund interrupted her.

" You are needed here- to help- this is a mission we have to do on our own " Edmund started but I rolled my eyes.

" Oh shut up, don't lie to me-it's just because you want to be the hero isn't it? " I snapped but Rose started walking towards me, and started talking to me in a tone the others couldn't hear.

" Now listen, Don't speak to Edmund that way, he may be just your cousin back in England, but he is my king in this world, Okay? If you disrespect him again, i will make sure your fate is not a happy one, hmm? " She whispered, and even tough her words would have been passed as mean and vicious but she said them calmly and as if I hadn't offended her at all.

I nodded and walked away from them as fast as I could.

Sometimes that Rose scares me, she looks like a good fighter. She could kill me if she wanted to.

But still I'm not working.

So I sneak off into a distant valley. It's completely deserted and looks as if no one has been here for decades. I suddenly turn to my right when I jump hysterically. There before me is none other than a creature I had only learnt about in nursery rhymes. No. My mind is definitely playing tricks on me.

The dragon groans and I jump once more, but it doesn't seem to be moving.

Eventually, the dragon closes it's eyes once and for all. It died. I don't know where this Narnia is supposedly in the world, but it must be far my england.

Let's better hope that that wasn't the last dragon.

I go to turn back around and pretend I didn't see anything , but then I spot a speck of gold in the near corner.

I run slightly over to a ditch, where there are mounts of gold and jewels.

" OWWW " I yell as I fall into the ditch.

" I must be dead " I say to myself as I look at all of my surroundings.

Money. The first thing that comes to mind and I take a dive for it.

Then I see a skeleton with a gold bracelet on it's wrist.

" Out of the way " I say kicking it, so I can get to the bracelet.

" Won't be needing that then will you? " I say to the skeleton as I place the bracelet on my arm.

" Oh god " I look up to see the dragon once more.

And then everything turned black.
