THE RECKONING:
CHAPTER SEVEN
The children sat comfortably around a fire lit by Mrs. Beaver, Lucy sat hugging Peter while Susan and Eleanor sat together.
The fox yelped again as Mrs. Beaver attempted to fix his wounds, every time he winced, so did Lucy.
"They were helping Tumnus. The witch got here before I did. Ow! Oh!"
"Are you all right?" Eleanor asked, her eyebrows raised.
"Well, I wish I could say their bark was much worse than their bite, Ow!"
"Stop squirming!" Mrs. Beaver ordered, making Lucy smile. "You're worse than Beaver on bath day!"

"And whose to say ow of us isn't The Red Knight?" Eleanor asked, folding her arms.
"We just want our brother back," Peter said, cutting the girls off.

"Now," Mr. Beaver explained. "Aslan's camp is near the Stone Table, just across the frozen river."
Eleanor's eyes widened as she looked to Peter "River?" The king asked.
