The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Chapter 9 - Reep and Eustace

i sat on the edge of the boat watching people go about their business.

"trying to run away are you were on a boat you know" i looked see Reep running along confronting a scared Eustace 

"look can't we just discuss this" he asked the knight of Narnia.

"that was for steeling" he cut he shirt.

"that was for lying" taking the orange away

"and that was for good measure" hitting him around the facer with the orange. Eustace jiggled the knife before taking a swing. Reep jumped 

"that's the spirit...catch" he threw the orange to Drinian  

"en guard" Eustace lunged and the fought Reep was hardly doing anything except for missing and correcting him on stuff i watched amused as it looked like he fell off but came up behind him and tapped his shoulder

"and that is that" he kicked Eustace sending him in a basked there was a scream and Lucy came forward.

"look" the little girls from before climbed out.

"Gail?" he rushed and hugged her as Drinian came forward 

"looks like we have another crew member" he gave her the orange  i jumped down

"welcome aboard" me and Lucy smiled 

"your majesties" she curtsied a little.

"please call us Lucy and Emma" i smiled 

"come on" Lucy took Gail away while i talked to Eustace.

"did you by any chance touch his tail" he swung round.

"i might have" i chuckled and shook my head 

"try to refrain yourself he i quite fond of that since by father gave it him back." i smiled 

"what are you talking about your father." i pushed myself off.

"you have a lot to learn. all in good time." i smiled walking away. it was getting close to sunset.

"Land ho" was shouted i went up 

"it looks uninhabitable but if the lord followed the mist east, then they would have stopped here" Caspian stated as he handed me the telescope i looked at the island.

"could be a trap." Drinian stated 

"or it could hold some answers...Caspian? Emma?"  i put the telescope away.

"we'll spend the night on shore, the squire the island in the morning" Caspian ordered then headed down the steps i followed to get Christopher.

"come on Chris we're heading off." he nodded grabbing our weapons and handing them to me i smiled and made way for the boats we rode for sure and it was nightfall we sat up a fire and ate.

"how is Ella, Emma we forgot to ask." Lucy questioned as we ate.

"doing well i put her to bed before we came here" i replied 

"what are you blathering on about" Eustace asked 

"unlike you and your cousins who were pulled here  me and Christopher travelled through one of my paintings that i did. a gift from my father the great Aslan i can travel from one world to another freely." i explained 

"you're saying you're a daughter to some mystical cat" that did it. i took out my sward and held it to his neck.

"listen here i have been one of the only people who has been nice to you while you have been complaining and getting into trouble. now i am kind a willing to overlook as the next person but i draw the line at you dishonouring my father. he is not a cat but a king and lion. he is a father and a grandfather, if you so much as scrutinise his name or anything he does again not even anyone round here will think to stop me from removing your tongue am i clear." i seethed he was scared out of his wits.

"ye...yes I'm sorry" he stuttered i turned away and finished eating we all went to sleep me with my arm protecting Christopher.
