goodbye.

18.

"I can't do it." Lucy sighed. The faun looked at Lucy with a desperate expression on her warm face. "Look, you want to be back with your brother and the King, right?" She said softly. Lucy nodded. She wanted that more than anything in the world. "Then trust me Your Majesty. It's the only way." The faun continued. "What if I get caught? She'd kill us both." Lucy asked worriedly. The faun frowned and reassured Lucy that she wouldn't as long she stayed low and out of sight. The faun had thought of a plan that involved Lucy sneaking out of her cell and try to escape to inform other Narnians of The Grey Lady's existence and go get help too. Just then The Grey Lady glided into the room and looked down on the pair. She had the same Minotaur with her and she turned towards him and in a low whisper, she said, "We'll remove the faun." Lucy recognised the similar evil sparkle in the Witch's eye and let out a rather shaky response. "No. Please, no." She felt her voice thicken with sadness. The Witch turned to Lucy and smirked. "Poor Queen Lucy," she fake pouted with fake concern then pointed a similar looking wand. The faun gasped and was in the midst of saying something, was sadly turned into stone. The Witch smirked towards the Minotaur. "You monster. She was a child." Lucy muttered.
"She was a Narnian. Only a true Queen would see the betrayal in her eyes." The Witch responded turning back to Lucy, pointing her wand towards Lucy with the tip resting just underneath her chin. Lucy felt her cheeks dampen and ran towards the Witch. The Minotaur grabbed Lucy by the arms and held her back. No matter how loud she screamed. No matter how hard she struggled. She could not loosen the tight grip of the Minotaur. The Witch looked calm, composed and dangerous. Very very dangerous. She looked calmly at Lucy and smiled sickly sweet, she put a hand up to Lucy's face and pulled away a loose curl of hair and tucked it neatly behind her ear. Her face was inches away from Lucy's. She hummed softly to herself but stopped as she turned to face Lucy. "Oh I wouldn't try to sneak out of here unless you wish to see darling Caspian and your brother Edmund turned to rock." She whispered smirking. "You wouldn't dare." Lucy breathed still glaring at the Witch's amused face. The Witch's expression changed for a second as if she was afraid of the pressure. She smirked to herself and turned on her heel and slowly walked out the cell house. The Minotaur almost dropped Lucy as he let go of her and followed the Witch, locking the cell house door behind him. Sliding down the back wall, she sunk down and pulled her knees up to her chest and said quietly to herself, "Oh bother. Bang goes that idea then!" But little did Lucy know, Caspian, Edmund and Andrew and a brand new Narnian army were on their way~ and they were approaching fast.
