Same Hearts | Edmund Pevensie Love Story |

Chapter 2

When Elizabeth was back at the castle, she was thrown in the same cell as the dwarf, Trumpkin. He looked seriously beat up and he only said a brief "Why did you go to Narnia?" But before Elizabeth could reply he feel unconscious.

The next morning Elizabeth was dragged out of the cell and into a large meeting room where all the lords of Telmar, along with Lord Miraz, had started talking about Capisan being taken by the Narnians. Lord Miraz looked to Elizabeth with a smirk written across his face. She looked back at him with her face full of fear.

"This girl, we all know was close to Caspian, yet she did nothing to stop him from being taken by them." He exclaimed, slowing walking towards her.

One Lord spoke, "They have been extinct for so long and you claim they are back. This can not be true my Lord." He said from his seat.

Miraz gave a look towards General Gozelle, who opened the door. Another guard dragged Trumpkin into the room. He throw him down next to Elizabeth, who looked at him sympathetically as Miraz turned to him and walked closer, till he was standing in front of him.

"While we have been here bickering, they have been breading like cockroaches under a rock. Watching us" He turned to face the other Lords, when he abruptly and slapped Trumpkin around the face, hard as he finished by saying "waiting to strike" As he had hit Trumpkin, his gag had loosened, giving him the ability to speak.

"And you wonder why we don't like you." He spat at Miraz, as he looked around at the other Lords.

Miraz turned to Elizabeth. He looked her up and down "You are both sentenced to death!" He sneered, before turning around and walking back to his seat.

A guard grabbed hold of Elizabeth and dragged her back to the cell she came from. Shortly after she was greeted by Trumpkin who was being dragged by the same guard. He was pushed into the cell, and once the doors closed he moved over to the wall opposite to Elizabeth.

He looked up at her and she could she the dried blood from where Miraz's rings had cut into his skin. He looked over at Elizabeth, his icy blue eyes looking through her soul.

"Why did you go into Narnia?" He asked her, anger think in his voice.

"We had nowhere else to go, we had run." Elizabeth replied, she looked over and saw him shaking his head. "Caspian and I didn't mean for any of this to happen, we're sorry." She said looking over at him. Regret and sympathy all she could feel.

Nothing more was said between them and Elizabeth saw him drifting off to sleep. Once she knew he was asleep, she finally let her tears fall. All she could hope is that Caspian was alright and that she could find a way to save both her and Trumpkin. With these thoughts clouding her mind she finally fell asleep.

The next morning both Elizabeth and Trumpkin were pulled from the cell and into an old wooden long boat. The guards took them to a safe part of Narnia, the very lake Elizabeth and Caspian had gone through to nights ago. Elizabeth could tell that Trumpkin was making one of guards uncomfortable and she notice that he was just sitting there staring and the dwarf who was staring right back.

"He won't stop staring!" H told the other guard. His face head a nervous expression.

"So don't look." The guard replied, as if it was the most obvious thing.

No matter how hard the guard tried he couldn't stopping looking at Trumpkins cold, hard glare. He turns to the other guard and spoke the words that struck fear into Elizabeth and Trumpkin.

"Here's far enough!" He said to the other guard, who had bought the boat to a stop. Both of guards grabbed Trumpkin and got ready to throw him in to the water. Just as they were about to throw him, a red tipped arrow hit the boat and a female voice called out.

"Drop him!" She shouted from the shore where she had another arrow already loaded in her bow.

The guards looked at each other and dropped Trumpkin into the water. The girl on the shore fired another arrow, which hit one of the guards. Elizabeth saw the two boys next to the girl run to water to save Trumpkin. The other guard turned to Elizabeth and riches out to grab her. Elizabeth moved back into the corner of the boat as much as she could. However the brown haired boy had swum over to the boat and had nudge it enough to make the other guard fall in the water next. The guard swam away and the boy claimed into the boat. He turn around to face Elizabeth.

"Are you alright?" He asked as he crouched  next to Elizabeth.

She looked up at him and nodded. He gave her a small smile and climbed back into the water. He began to pull the boat back to shore.

When they reached the shore they were greeted by the older boy who had saved Trumpkin and the two girls. The youngest girl cut the rope around their hands, and the boy who had pulled the boat back to shore help Elizabeth up.

Due to recent events Elizabeth was still shaken up and as she stood to her feel she stumbled back , but the boy caught her before she fell. Once she was ok he let go of her but gave her a small smile with she returned. They broke eye contact when Trumpkin anger,h got to his feet. He turns to face the older girl.

"Drop him! That's all you could come up with." He exclaimed angered.

"A simple thank you would do" she stated.

"What were they doing drowning you anyway?" The young girl asked.

"Their Telmarins, it's what they do." Trumpkin told them looking back at Elizabeth.

"Telmarins, in Narnia?" The boy next to Elizabeth said shocked and confused.

"Where have you lot been for the past hundred year?" Trumpkin asked sarcastically.

"Well it's a bit of a long story." The older girl said handing the older boy his sword. Trumpkin looked amazed as he look at the four children, and suddenly his face held both surprise and nerves.

"Beards and Bedsticks, your it, your the Kings and Queens if old." He said out to all the children.

Elizabeth looked at them and then it all came together. Caspian had blow the horn which sum end them back to Narnia.

"High King Peter, the Magnificent." Peter said looking at Trumpkin and Elizabeth.

"You probably could of left the last bit off." Susan said, a smile on her face as she looked at her older brother.

"Probably." Trumpkin said laughing as they all smiled.

The brown haired boy looked at Elizabeth and smiled.

"I'm Edmund, that's Susan and Lucy." He told Elizabeth pointing to his sisters.

"I'm Elizabeth." She told them smiling at them.

Peter suddenly drew his sword towards Trumpkin.

"You don't want to do that boy." Trumpkin said eyeing the sword.

"Not me, him" Peter said, gesturing towards Edmund.

Trumpkin looked at the young king and took Peter sword as Edmund pulled out his. The sword weighed him down, as gr his happened Edmunds face grew into a confident smile . However Trumpkin them swung the sword, Edmund ducked under the blade and the swung at Trumpkin, knocking him in the face with hilt of the sword. Trumpkin stumbled back and when he had regained balance he did the same to Edmund and pushed him back. Once Edmund got his balance back he swung madly at Trumpkin and the duel went on like this until Edmund disarmed Teumpkin. He put his sword back and stood in his previous place next to Elizabeth, who looked shocked and amused at the due.

"That horn worked after all." Trumpkin said, passing Peter his sword back.

"What horn?" Lucy asked, confusion evident on her face.

"You don't know why you came here do you?" Elizabeth asked them, and their confused looks answered her question.

"All we know is that we came through a train station." Edmund answered.

"My friend, Caspian, blew the horn that you used to own Susan. Our professor gave it to him. He called you because we need your help." Elizabeth explained to them.

"Well we better get going then." Peter said, turning and walking towards the boat.
