WILD WOLVES

⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆

"Edmund!" Lucy screamed out just as Alexandra covered the girl's mouth with her hand to stop the noise.

"Shush Lucy," she remarked and removed her hand, "She will hear you."

Alexandra watched at Peter lunged forward as if to start running, but he didn't make it far before Mr Beaver jumped up and pulled him backwards - it was humorous to watch such a small creature bring the boy to a halt. The two seemed to struggle before the animal eventually fell backwards, "You are playing into her hands!"

"Peter, listen to him!" Alex stepped towards the boy who took two backwards.

"We can't just let him go!" Susan shouted at Lexi and used her arms to wave around frantically.

Alexa took a few steps around Peter whilst he was distracted by his sisters so that she stood between him and the castle, she knew deep down that she could most likely take him down if she needed to.

"He's our brother!" Lucy sadly replied with tears almost in her eyes at the thought of losing Edmund.

"He's the bait," Beaver corrected her, "The Witch want's all four of you to stop the prophecy coming true! To kill you."

They all turned to hear the gates shut with a lock. It was then that Alexandra felt it in her heart, the ice solidifying within her chest and almost summoning her to Jadis. She even felt the familiar tugging that seemed to pull her to the castle walls. Everything else around her faded; it was just her and the beaming ice stuck in her heart.

"Alexandra?" Beaver called out to her and joined her side, making the girl turn to him with a glimmer of blue forming in her eyes that alerted him, "She's summoning you, isn't she?"

"I can fight it off. But the closer we are to the castle, the stronger the bond is," she groaned out; a hand over her heart where it was already starting to throb, "We need to go, if she is calling me then she is calling the wolves too."

That was all the others needed before they started to run back to the cabin, though she could almost sense the reluctance from the siblings but she understood why. She didn't have any siblings, but she had loved before. Losing people that you love was never easy and she could only guess how they felt about having to leave a brother behind.

The four children, followed by the beaver, left footprints in the snow as they dodged through the forest with the wolves now on their trail. Alexandra could only assume that she would also be a target to their attack, but she would rather die trying than live knowing that she could have tried.

"Hurry, mother! They're after us!" Mr Beaver shouted at his wife as they all filed into the small cabin and shut the door behind them, Alexandra and Peter being the ones to keep their backs on the door to block it.

"Oh, right then," she simply remarked with a paw going to her fur in fright and started to fumble around.

"What's she doing?" Peter coughed out in shock at her lack of hysteria or fear.

"Oh, you'll be thanking me later," she teased and continued to pull jars from cupboards, "Its a long journey and Beaver gets pretty cranky when he's hungry."

"I'm cranky now!" he shouted back at her as Peter and Alex continued to lean on the door.

The familiar blizzard in her chest appeared, the girl almost winced at the intensity of it all, "They're close, I can feel it," her eyes shifted to Mrs Beaver who put the jars on the table, "Do you really think we need jam?"
