Rule // Peter Pevensie [S.U.]

10 • Unseen

Voices rand out in agreement, realizing their mistake. "Well then we'll just kill your friends. Starting with this one right here." At that, Aubrianna felt a tug at the back of her hair. She let out a yelp, grabbing her locks from the invisible force, and glaring at the space in front of her.

"What do you want with me?" The youngest Pevensie seem to have caved, looking at Aubrianna with a mix of worry and defeat on her face. She surely wasn't going to risk her life, or the life of their friends and family back on shore."You will enter the house of the oppressor." Lucy was shoved forward, but saw no 'house' they were speaking of. "What house?" A hand laid itself upon her shoulder. "This one."

Seemingly out of nowhere, a door appeared, opening up infant of the High Queen and spewing light down onto the grass below. "Upstairs, you'll find the book of incantations. Recite the spell that makes the unseen, seen." Other voices rang out, voicing their approval of how 'well put' their chief had phrased the sentence. Lucy approached the door, looking on either side and just seeing the garden behind it.

"Well go on, we 'haven't got all day." "Remember what will happen to your friends."

"You've been warned."

Lucy stood in the door way, looking back at the air, and at Aubrianna who was sat on the ground arms crossed and a glare in her eyes. "Why don't you do it yourselves?" A moments silence followed before their voices rang out again. "We can't read." "Can't write either, as a matter of fact." A look of understanding flashed upon Lucy's face. "Why didn't you just say so?"

"Beware the oppressor, he's very oppressive." "What makes the unseen, seen, got it?" "Don't forget!" Lucy spun, entering the doorway, leaving Aubrianna- alone.

"So what's your name?" The queen scoffed, ignoring the voices, and rolling her eyes. "This is treason you know." The voices laughed, and one called out. "How so?" Still sat on the ground, the girl looked up, huffing. "Well you've just kidnapped the queens of Narnia-"

"Ohh the queens of Narnia you say?" "My bad, your majesty." "Would you like a spot of tea?" The young girl rest her arm on her knee, and brought her hand to her chin. "Dear Aslan, help me."

Back at the shore-hours later, the bright sunrise had woken the king, who looked around in a panic when he couldn't find his sister, but only large footprints in the sand where she should be. The queens had fallen asleep right by the king, so to not see them alarmed him greatly. "Edmund! Ed, wake up." He hissed at the young king still asleep on the ground. He groggily raised his head in question, and upon looking up and not seeing the queens, he too was alarmed. He stood, next to Caspian and looked around frantically.

"Where's Lucy? Lucy?! Aubrianna?" His frantic calls began alarming the sleeping members of the crew. Lord Drinian shot up, calling out to the crew. "Everybody up! Up! Get up I say!" They hurried to gather their swords, Caspian looking at the footsteps. In the sand between a set of prints, he spies a certain piece of jewelry he is quick to identify and stuff into his pocket discreetly. "This way!" The crew runs off after Caspian, none of them noticing the young boy still asleep on the ground below.

Time had passed, and after multiple attempts to call out for help to her brother, the invisble beings tied Aubrianna up. Her hands and feet were bound, along with a cloth wrapping around her head that ran across her mouth to cease her from any way of speech.

After a few hours, dawn had arrived and the queen soon heard the rustling of bushed. She attempted to call out through the cloth in her mouth, but she was grabbed, hands wrapping around her body, covering her mouth. "Caspian, Lucy's dagger." Recognizing Edmund's voice, Aubrianna squirmed frantically, doing her best to make some sort of noise through the cloth and invisible hands. "Edmund- do you hear that?" Suddenly out of nowhere, the invisible forces started throwing spears from where they were hiding, charging forward, but the one holding Aubrianna stayed put. "Stop right there, or perish!" The sounds of fighting broke up, and Aubrianna stopped struggling, realizing she was only wasting energy.
