Chronicles of Narnia: The Magic Begins: Prince Alexander: Book 3

Chapter Eight: Escaping the Battlefield

Marco, Alexander, Trumpkin, Trufflehunter, the Centaurs, the Talking Beasts, and the Fauns were making their battle plans in the fortress, with a drawing of a fortress.
"The best archers were be here."Marco was saying and he pointed to the ledge of a picture of the fortress to show where the archers will be at through the battle. "Conor and Alexander will lead a group underground and nock down some pillars to give some land away all around King Alejandro's army. Vicky, Natasha, and Chasta (Marco nodded to the proud-looking sisters and brother), they will lead a side-long attack. Vicky you will you lead your army on the west, Natasha you will lead the army on the east, and Chasta will lead the third army to the north. Me, Chase, and Irma Rose will lead the flying creatures to King Alejandro's army and will blind them."
"What about me?"asked a new voice.
The voice belonged to Ila, she was standing by Vicky's and Natasha's elbows, the two older girls glanced at one another with their hidden expressions.
"I'm afraid you have to hide in the forest for a while."said Conor.
"You might find a few friends and allies to help us in case the battle might get really bad, and I can come with you part way."said Natasha, eyeing Ila's dismayed look.
Ila's expression brightened, which made Natasha smile.
"You also might find Aslan."said Chasta mysteriously. 
"I will help you with your horses, Cabara and Ninani, he'll take good care of you while you go through the forest."said Alexander with soft eyes and a smile.
Before the battle started, everyone was standing at the battlefield with armor and weapons on them, they are ready to run into battle. But on the other side of the fortress was Alexander, Natasha, and Ila; Alexander was helping the girls get ready to ride out from the battle on their Horses, Cabara was a tawny golden young mare with a flowing pale golden-yellow mane and tail and Ninani is a young and pure white mare with a silver-blue mane and tail. 
"Should I give you your horn back?"asked Alexander.
"Better not, it's better if you have it just in case."said Natasha. 
With that Natasha and Ila both cantered away, the girls bounced in their horses' saddles. As they kept cantering fared and fared they heard cantering behind them.
"Oh, just fantastic."murmured Natasha scartasiticly, after looking over her shoulder.
Behind them was seven or eight Telmarine soldiers on horseback and with crossbows at aim with a arrow at string.
"Quick!"said Natasha to Ila after slowing down, thinking quickly. "I will hold them back and whatever you do don't look back!"
Back with Natasha and her horse Cabara, Natasha had shot six arrows at the Telmarine soldiers, but she missed one (the second soldier was the one who was chasing Ila). Then like a miracle, Alexander came galluping on Sprinter, he fought and killed the soldier.
His eyes were bright and playful at Natasha. Natasha smiled and bowed her head, suddenly feeling shy.
"As you were saying?"said Alexander playfully at Natasha.
Natasha chuckled, but with a pang she remembered her brothers' and sisters' worried and concerned faces.
"Let's go,"said Natasha to Alexander. "the battle will be starting soon."
Alexander nodded his agreement, his face shows he was thinking the same thing.
The two of them galluped away back to the fortress.

Ila felt tears in her eyes and some of the tears went down her cheeks, but she managed a nod. Natasha made her horse came to Ninani's side, but then she slapped on the horse's side and the horse cantered away, but slowed Ninani down a bit and looked back at her older sister. Ila could see love and defense in Natasha's eyes, but her gaze told her go and find more help.
Ila urged her horse forward and without hesitation.

(Pretend that Ila's horse is a young and pure white mare with a silver-blue mane and tail.)
