Into the Woods with You

Chapter Seven

I'm back!

Thank you all for being patient with me, whilst I save for a new laptop. But because of the mishap with my old laptop I'm gonna have to try a lot harder to finish this book for my set goal, which I aim to complete by the end of this month.

Alright enough about that and lets continue with the book

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Waking up to the sound of something cracking, Lucy sat up and looked over to her sister.

"Susan! Wake up!" Lucy whispered.

"Huh? Certainly, Lu. Whatever you like." Susan mumbled groggily going back to sleep.

Lucy quickly turned around hearing a footstep, before taking a glance at her sister before getting up off the forest floor and went towards the sound.

As she was walking she noticed that the area was the same from her dream, which caused her to mumble 'wake-up' as she held onto a tree.

After looking at the tree for some more, Lucy turned around and left.

"Aslan?" Lucy mumbled before hands appeared behind her and and pulled them to their chest which cause Lucy to start to panic but stopped once she noticed it was her older brother, Peter.

Peter then pulled her back, his hand still covering his sister Lucy's mouth. Before pulling away moved to have a look at what the noise was coming from.

Both Lucy and Peter couldn't help but to take a step back once they saw that it was a Minotaur step into their view, remembering the last time they saw a Minotaur it was teaming up with the White Witch.

Lucy then turned to her brother, who then put his pointer finger to his mouth and made a 'shh' sound.

Lucy watched as her brother walked slowly to the unexpected Minotaur and pulled out his sword from its sheath.

Out of nowhere Caspian attacked the unexpected Peter, and both men started fighting each other, both attacking and defending with their swords.

Peter managed to disarm Caspian and started swinging his sword widely, making Caspian dodge every single swing before Peter managed to lodge his sword into a tree.

Caspian managed to kick Peter away and tried to grab Peter's sword from the tree whilst Peter grabbed a rock and quickly got up from the ground and started for Caspian.

"No, stop!" Lucy yelled out causing Peter to stop and both men to look over and saw Lucy standing there.

As soon as Lucy yelled out of nowhere Narnian's started to appear from the woods surrounding them, both Lucy and Peter were happy to see them but as soon as Peter turned around Caspian had a smug smirk on his face.

"Prince Caspian?" Peter questioned confused as he looked at the man in front of him.

"Yes? And who are you?" Caspian questioned forgetting what Nala had told him before she left to go somewhere.

"Peter!" Causing both Caspian and Peter to look over and saw Susan and Edmund arriving.

Looking down at the sword in his hand, Caspian then remembered who was in front of him.

"High King Peter." Caspian said almost out of breath.

"I believe you called." Peter said.

"Well, yes, but... I thought you'd be older." Caspian said having a look of disappointment on his face.

"Well if you like, we could come back in a few years..." Peter said annoyed.

"No. No, that's all right. You're just... You're not exactly what I expected." Caspian said turning his gaze over to look at Susan.

"Neither are you." Edmund said looking over at a Minotaur.

"A common enemy unites even the oldest of foes." Trufflehunter said, causing Trumpkin to sigh and put his sword away.

"We have anxiously awaited your return, my liege." Reepicheep said walking on all fours towards Peter. "Our hearts and swords are at your service." Reepicheep finished.

"Oh, my gosh, he is so cute." Lucy tried to whisper to Susan.

"Who said that?" Reepicheep questioned annoyed as he pulled out his swords.

"Sorry." Lucy mumbled.

"Oh. Uh..." Reepicheep stuttered putting his sword away. "Your Majesty, with the greatest respect, I do believe 'courageous', 'courteous', or 'chivalrous' might more befit a knight of Narnia." Reepicheep said.

"Well, at least we know some of you can handle a blade." Peter said, smiling down at the rat.

"Yes, indeed. And I have recently put it to good use, securing weapons for your army, sire." Reepicheep said.

"Good. Because we're going to need every sword we can get." Peter said turning around and walked closer towards Caspian.

"Well, then you will probably be wanting yours back." Caspian said holding out Peter's sword, who took it and put it back in its sheath.

Peter and Caspian looked at one another for a few more moments before Peter turned and started to walk away, Caspian walked after him and picked up his sword and started to feel annoyed with Peter.

'Remember Caspian, Peter and the rest haven't been in Narnia for a very long time. And from my slumber I have watched Peter become violent, so be careful I fear his anger may get the best of him.' Caspian heard a familiar female voice in his head causing a small smile to appear on his face, knowing who it was.

'I'll try my best.' Caspian thought back before feeling the presence in his head disappear.
