We walked in silence the rest of the long walk back to the dam. We stopped on the small hill over looking the dam

"Blyme it looks like the old girl has the the kettle, on going to have a nice cup of rosey tea." Beaver exclaimed looking at the smoke coming out of the chimney.

"Its lovely!" Lucy stated following beaver's gaze.

"It merely a triffle, still plenty to do not quite finished yet", Beaver stated walking down to the dam.

"Beaver, Willow is that you? I've been worried sick. If I find you two have been out with Badger again I-", She stopped when she saw the others.

"Oh those aren't badgers, oh I never thought I would live to see this day", she continued.

They looked slightly confused by her words. She then turned and glared at Beaver.

"Look at my fur you couldn't give ten minutes warning?" She asked.

"I would've given you a week if I thought it would help", he retorted laughing.

"It's alright Mrs. Beaver I think you look fine", I said walking to stand by her.

"Oh thank you Willow", she replied smiling at me.

"Oh come inside and we can see if we can get you something to eat and some civilized company", she said looking at Beaver.

"Becareful watch you're step", warned Beaver following them inside.

I looked up at Edmund as he looked around outside.

"Enjoying then scenery are we?" I asked following his gaze. He just shook his head and walked inside.

I followed him inside and resumed my spot on the counter as they made their selves comfortable.

"Isn't there anything we can do to help Tumnus?" asked Peter.

"They took him to the Witch's house, there's few that go in that ever come out," I said as Peter looked at me.

"Fish and chips?" Mrs. Beaver asked trying to change the subject.

"But there is hope dear lots of hope." she said. I just rolled my eyes. Beaver choked on his drink.

"Yeah theres lots of hope, Aslans on the move", he said leaning forward.

"Who's Aslan?" Edmund asked walking over.

Beaver started laughing, while Mrs. Beaver just looked. I looked down at my paws sadly and Peter noticed but didn't say anything.

"Whose Aslan? You cheeky!" he said looking at their faces.

Then I realized that they weren't joking and looked at Beaver who was still laughing.

I smacked his arm and he muttered a 'What?' at me before I gestured to them and he looked up.

"You dont know do you?" He asked looking at them.

"Well we have exactly been here very long," he retorted.

"Well he's only the King of the whole wood the top geezer and the real King of Narnia." Beaver said answering for me. I nodded my thanks.

I noticed Edmund roll his eyes and walk a little away.

"He's been gone for a long while" Mrs. Beaver said.

I snorted and looked away angrily. They noticed but continued on.

"But he's just got back! And he's waiting for you near the stone table." Beaver exclaimed.

"He waiting for us?" Lucy asked.

"You've got to be joking they don't even know about the prophecy!" Beaver yelled.

"Well then", Mrs. Beaver said gestering to me. Mr. Beaver interrupted.

"Look Aslan's return, Tumnus arrest, the Secret Police its all happening because of you!" he exclaimed.

"You're blaming us?" Susan asked.

"No not blaming thanking", Mrs. Beaver Exclaimed.

"Theres a prophecy," Beaver gestered to me.

I sighed "When Adams flesh and Adams bone sits at Cair Pervel in throne With the help of a Guardian the evil time will be over and done," I explained.

"You know that doesn't really ryme", Susan said.

"You're kind of missing the point!" Mr. Beaver said. I layed a paw on his shoulder.

"It's long been foretold that two sons of Adam two daughters of Eve and the Guardian will defeat the White Witch and restore peace to Narnia," I further explained.

"And you think we're the one's?" Peter asked.

"Well you better be because Aslan's already figuring you're army." I said standing up.

"Our army?" Lucy asked.

"Mum sent us away so we wouldn't get caught up in a war," Susan said looking at Peter.

"I think you've made a mistake we're not hero's, " said Peter

"We're from Finchley", continued Susan.

"Thank you for your hospitality but we really have to go,"

"You can't just leave!" I yelled speaking.

"She's right we have to help Mr. Tumnus", Lucy agreed

"It's out of our hands," argued Peter

"I am sorry but I think it's time the four of us were getting home" he said standing up.

"Ed" he said looking for Edmund.

"Ed?" He tried again. Edmund was now where to be found.

"I'm gonna kill him," Peter said looking very mad.

"You may not have to", I said remembering the encounter he had with the white witch.
