The Crystal Ghost || The Chronicles Of Narnia

What happened in the cave

"You do it, otherwise I kill you!" Jadis screamed at the dwarf.
The dwarf raised an eyebrow at her. "Do you not think I've done enough for you?" She said calmly. "It's not easy repairing the stone table you know."
Jadis gave her a death glare. "Not my problem." She spat.
"And It won't be easy doing this either." The dwarf added, not looking at Jadis.
"But you can still do it!" Jadis told her. "I know you can!"
"Of course I can." The dwarf said simply. "And - if you really want me to - I will do it."
The angry look on Jadis' face was replaced with an evil smirk. "How very kind." She mocked. "You do it when I give the signal, you understand?"
"I understand." The dwarf said, sounding a tad irritated.
"Perfect." Jadis said before: "that will be all then. I'm counting on you."
The dwarf sighed. "I know." She said as Jadis turned to leave.
She gave the dwarf one more piercing look before disappearing into the maze of tunnles.

Peter slowly opened his eyes, groaning a bit as he realised he was laying in snow. He looked down at Edmund, was had his arm wrapped tightly around his waist and had his head rested on his chest, fast asleep.
It wasn't until then that Peter heard the cry of seagulls and the break of waves on a beach.
Without waking Edmund he very slolwy sat up. His eyes went wide as he saw that he were sat in the middle of a snow covered beach, his siblings beside him.
"Don't worry Peter." Aslan said, catching his attention. "I brought us here."
Peter frowned again. "Why?" He asked.
"Because the crystal is in the cave behind us." Aslan answered simply.
Peter couldn't help the smile that made its way onto his face. "Thank you." He breathed, getting a small nod from Aslan.
"Pete?" Came a tired voice.
Peter looked down at Edmund, who was very much awake, sitting up with a frown on his face. "Where are we?" He asked.
Peter smiled at him. "We're on a beach." He said. "With a cave. And inside that cave, is the crystal."
Edmund sighed in relief. "How did we get here?" He asked, confused.
"Aslan." Peter replied simply.
Edmund nodded, but glanced at the snow he was sat in fearfully.
Peter bit his lip when he saw. "Let's wake the girls." He muttered, turning to shake Susan awake.
She slolwy opened her eyes, frowning up at the sky for a minute before sitting up, Lucy being awoken in the process.
"What the-?" Susan whispered a look of shock on her face.
Peter sighed a little, but couldn't help but let out a small chuckle afterwards. "The crystal's in the cave behind us." He told his sisters. "Aslan brought us here last night."
Lucy's eyes went wide in excitement as she stared at Aslan, who smiled back.
"Well then." Susan said, standing and brushing the snow off her dress. "What are we waiting for?"
Peter nodded and stood too, before helping Edmund to his feet as Lucy hoped up. Aslan followed and began leading the way twords the cave.
"What sort of magic has Jadis placed on the crystal?" Peter asked warily as they got closer.
"I am unable to tell you this Peter." Aslan said slolwy. "For I'm afraid I do not know myself."
Edmund glanced worridly up at Peter, who gave his shoulder a reassuring squeeze as they hesitantly entered the cave.
It immediately went dark, even though they could still see the sun shining brightly outside.
"I don't like this." Lucy whispered, taking hold of Susan's hand and standing as close to her as she could.
"Me either." Edmund choked, his arm around Peter tightening.
"It'll be alright." Peter said. "Let's just find this crystal." And with that the five of them walked deeper into the cave.
"I can't see a thing!" Susan whispered.
"Neither can I." Lucy replied, her hands reached out in front of her.
They walked on in the pitch black for what felt like hours, but was only a few minutes until Susan sighed. "Where is that crystal!" She said, sounding frustrated.
Peter bit his lip. "I don't know." He muttered, before feeling the arms wrapped around his waist disappear. "Ed?" He questioned, rather confused.
There was no answer.
"Edmund?" Peter asked again, frowning as he felt around in the darkness.
"What's wrong Peter?" Aslan asked.
"Edmund!" Peter said again, his voice full of worry. "Where's Edmund!"
"What?!" Lucy asked. "What do you mean Where's Edmund!? He's with you, isn't he?!"
"No!" Peter said quickly. "He's gone."
"Don't be ridiculous Peter!" Susan said, but even she was sounding worried. "He can't of just vanished - Edmund!" She called.
"Ed!" Lucy copied.
"Oh god." Peter muttered as he began felling around in the dark as Lucy was doing.
"Wait! Shh!" Lucy said suddnely.
Everyone fell silent, even Aslan.
"What's that sound?" Susan whispered.
"Wind?" Peter said, frowning.
And he was right, a strong wind started to blow around them. And it got stronger and louder and a little bit stronger and alot louder.
"What's going on!" Susan shouted.
No one answered, Lucy clung to Susan and Peter was still calling for Edmund.
"Aslan." Lucy shouted worridly. "Don't worry Lucy." Came Aslan's voice.
"Edmund!" Peter shouted over the sound of the wind.
In the end the wind got so strong that everyone had to shut there eyes and shield their faces.
This went on for ages until all of a sudden the wind stopped immediately.
Peter took a deep breath, swallowing thickly as he felt ropes around his arms and his stomach, and he was sat against something.
Taking another deep breath he summoned up enough courage and slowly opened his eyes.
And what he saw made his heart skip a bit.
They were no longer in the cave and Aslan was no longer with them. He glanced over to his right to see Susan and Lucy tied to two other stone pillars, just as he was.
Looking ahead of him his eyes went wide. They were directly in front of the stone table. But his eyes went even wider when he saw who was on the stone table.
Jadis had her wand in he hand, smirking at him.
But it wasn't Jadis that Peter was worried about right at this minute.
Lying on the stone table, tears rolling down his cheeks, hands tied in front of him and ropes tying him to the table, was Edmund.
