The Telmar Princess

My Sister

Prince Caspian

I wake up and see an unfamiliar place. I suddenly remember everything. I get up and look around. I then take this head thing off and then freeze. Diana!

"This bread is so stale." I hear.

"I'll just give him some soup. He should be coming around soon." I hear another voice say.

All I can think of is my twin sister. I felt a very harsh sting in my cheek. She's been hit. That angers me.

We can feel each other's pain and emotions. She's sad and scared.

"I don't think I hit him hard enough." I hear the voice say.

"Nikabrik, he's just a boy." The second voice says as I stood behind the wall.

"He's a Telmarine, not some lost puppy. You said you were gonna get rid of him." The first voice says.

"No. I said I'd take care of him." The second voice says.

I was a bit freaked out.

"We can't kill him now. I just bandaged his head. It would be like murdering a guest." The first voice says.

"How do you think his friends are treating their guests?" The second course says.

"Trumpkin knew what he was doing. It's not the boys fault." The first voice says.

I then jump out and grab a fire stick and fight off the short man.

"Stop! Stop!" I hear as I block the sword.

"Hold it. No, no!" The skunk says.

"I told you we should have killed him when we had the chance." The short man says.

"You know why we can't." The skunk says.

"If we're taking a vote, I'm with him." I say.

"We can't let him go. He's seen us." The short man says, coming at me which I blocked the fell back into a sitting position.

"Enough, Nikabrik! Or do I have to sit on your head again? And you. Look what you made me do. I spent half the morning in that soup." The skunk says.

I was freaking out and confused. Diana was still on my mind. I need to find her. She's scared and filled with fear.

Diana is a strong, skilled, courageous, defending, fearless princess and warrior. She has connections from another kingdom because of a man she was to be wed when she came of age but he was killed in battle. His brother swore the kingdoms loyalty to Diana, in honor of his brother.

Despite all that, Diana is also a female human being with emotions. She is my twin baby sister. Even if I am only 5 minutes older than her.

"What are you?" I ask.

"You know, it's funny that you would ask that. You think people would know a badger when they saw one." The badger says.

"No. No I mean... you're Narnians. You're supposed to be extinct." I say.

"Sorry to disappoint you." The short man says.

"Here you go. Still hot." The skunk says, looking at me.

"Since when did we open a boarding house for Telmarine soldiers?" The short man says.

"I'm not a soldier." I say, standing up.

They look at me.

"I am Prince Caspian. The tenth. Twin brother of Princess Diana." I say.

"What are you doing here? And where is the Princess?" The short man asks.

I look down. Remembering it all. My sister... Ripped away from me.

"Running away." I say.

The two looked at each other in shock and confusion.

"My uncle... And his wife... Always wanted mine and my sisters thrones... I suppose we have only lived this long because they never had an heir of their own." I say.

"And the princess?" The skunk asks.

I look down, fighting the tears.

"She was... Taken away from me. They must have took her after you knocked me out..." I say.

"Oh... That changes things." The skunk says.

"Yeah. Means we don't have to kill you ourselves." The short man says.

"You're right." I say and go to my uniform.

"Where you going?" The skunk asks.

"To find and save my sister. My uncle won't stop until either me or bit of us are dead. My aunt has always been extremely jealous of my sister. I'm almost certain she'd have my sister killed just for fun." I say, putting my vest on and grabbing my sword.

"But... you can't leave. You and your sister are meant to save us." The skunk says.

I look at them.

"Don't you know what this is?" The skunk asks, holding up the horn.

I stared at it.

All I know... Is that I want my sister back.

If the Kings and Queens are able to come back... Maybe they can help me.

All my life, I had my best friend. My sister. Now... I'm lost and empty without her.

She's my reason to live and fight every battle thrown my way.

She's been my hero many times...

Now it is my turn be hers.
