Chapter 7

The morning proved to be a rude awakening for Drisana. The Narnians had been planning to raid the Telmaries for some time for weapons and last night they had decided to execute those plans. Without her. Well sort of. They had enough courtesy to find her a ride while she was asleep. For the entire night after she had fallen asleep Storm had carried her on her back through the forest. When her eyelids had opened up she had found herself not on her bedroll where she thought she had been. Instead the sudden shock that she wasn’t in her tent sent her tumbling to the ground in her attempts to find Caspian or any recognition of where she was. This had sent the Narnians around her into a laughing fit as she sat up and groaned, feeling the forming goose egg on the side of her head. Storm had helped her off the ground just in time for Caspian to come running to the rescue having heard her yelp of surprise and slight terror. He had tried to apologize to her for not waking her but she had simply slapped his helping hand and stalked off in the direction that all the other Narnians had been moving.

That all happened just before dawn. Now the sun had risen showing her that it was about mid-morning. She had shaken off her frustration earlier and was no longer upset with Caspian. However she kept the heavy steps constant, continuing to fool him as if she were. When he tried to talk to her she fell back and began talking to Storm whom chuckled at her. It was amusing to see the Prince so confused with the situation. This was soon forgotten as she noticed two people hiding behind some rocks ahead of them, eyeing the minotaur that was about to walk before the wall of rocks.

“Caspian.” She quickly scurried over to him. He turned around immediately to look at her. She pointed to the rocks and he nodded his head. He unsheathed his sword as silently as he could and advanced to protect the minotaur just in case. At the last minute the figure from behind the rock rushed forward causing Caspian to jump in the way of the sword that had been about to come down on the creatures back. She watched intently, ready to jump in if necessary. They fought and Caspian held his ground. The male figure got his sword stuck in the tree and she had to keep herself from snorting at his stupidity. He ducked as Caspian swung his sword at his head. The other boy managed to punch Caspian causing him to reel back and drop his sword. As Caspian recovered and went for the sword in the tree the other boy with the blonde hair went for a bigger rock behind him to hit Caspian over the head with.

“No! Stop!” She yelled in unison with the second figure that had been behind the rock wall. Both boys halted in their movements as the Narnians finally realized what was going on and came to protect Caspian. Then she understood. The Kings and Queens. Peter dropped the rock from his hand and let his arm settle at his side.

“Prince Caspian?” Peter asked Caspian, verifying who he had just attacked.

“Yes? And who are you?” Caspian half spat at the King.

“Peter!” From behind the girl who had just appeared two others came sword and bow at the ready. With them was Trumpkin. Susan had been the one to shout her brother’s name.

“High King Peter?” Caspian asked in almost amazement.

“I believe you called.”

“Well, yes, but...I thought you'd be older.” Caspian emphasized on the older part and she chuckled.
