Edmund, in chains at the witches palace. He attempts to eat the food he was given, but coughs and spits it out, because of its taste. He then attempts to drink a cup, which is frozen. He then throws it on the tray with a disgusted look.

"If you're not going to eat that..."Edmund looks over at the other cell and sees a faun but he doesn't know that. Picking up the food, he crawls towards the other cell and hands the food to the faun who eats it greedily while Edmund stares at his hooves.

"Mr... Tumnus."Mr. Tumnus looks up at him before looking down.

"What's left of him."Edmund blinks before he looks down at the ice floor and Mr. Tumnus looks back up, staring at him.

"You're Lucy Pevensie's brother."Edmund glances at him but looked back down at the floor again.

"I'm Edmund."

"You have the same nose."Mr. Tumnus said and Edmund rubs his nose.

"Is your sister alright?"Mr. Tumnus asked but he got no answer.

"Is she safe?" He asked again as they heard the sound of wolves.

"I don't know..." Edmund said and looked up sharply while Mr. Tumnus went back to his former place when the White Witch comes in.

"My police tore that dam apart, your little family are nowhere to be found."She said and lifts Edmund off of the ground.

"Where did they go?"

" I don't know.."

"Then you are of no further use to me." She said and dropped Edmund on the ground, pulling her staff back before she could do anything, Edmund spoke up, remembering something.

"Wait! The beavers said something about Aslan." He said making Mr. Tumnus look over at them.

"Aslan! Where?"

"I- This stranger, your majesty, he can't be expected to know anything, AH!"Mr. Tumnus cried out when he got hit in the head by the dwarf.

"I said 'Where is Aslan.'"Edmund looked over at Mr. Tumnus who gave him a pleding look.

"I left before I could hear anymore...I wanted to see you again."

"Guard!"The guard comes in.

"Yes, your majesty."

"Release the Faun."The Witch says, looking at Edmund who watches as the guard hits the chains around his hooves and cries out in pain as he is dragged over to the Witch.

"Do you know why you are here, Faun?"

"Because I believe in a free Narnia."Mr. Tumnus says and the Witch stares at him coldly.

"You're here because he turned you in... for sweets."The Witch said, pointing her staff at Edmund as Mr. Tumnus looks at Edmund who looks back at him then looked down in shame. The Witch turned to the guard.

"Take him upstairs."The guard grabs Mr. Tumnus and drags him away as he cries out in pain.

"And ready my sleigh, Edmund misses his family."With that, she turns and walks away, leaving Edmund to cry.
