"Where am I?" Lucy thought to herself as she stood up from where she was laying. She had an awful headache. The pain, though bearable, was a nuisance.
She found herself in the hall of what looked to be a castle. Not just any castle. Her castle in Cair Paravel! She smiled as she ran quickly down the hall hoping to she her old friend Mr. Tumnus again.
But suddenly, she felt a sad realisation run over her. Mr. Tumnus was dead, the castle was destroyed and whatever she was seeing wasn't real. She made a hard stop and looked around. "This must be a dream" She told herself.
She slowly paced around looking for somebody, anybody really. "Hello?" She called out but there was no answer. She then heard a creak of a door. "Hello?" She called out again. "Anyone there?" There was no answer once again. That's when she decided that it was getting too creepy and headed to exit out of the castle doors.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her shoulder and flipped her onto the ground. Lucy screamed, hoping that someone would hear her. The person who attacked her had a dark cloak on and the hood was over their head. She couldn't make out who it was but she knew that he wasn't good. She struggled to escape, but he was on top of her holding her down. He was too strong and she couldn't push him off. He pulled out his dagger and was about to stab at her. Lucy gasped as she tried to cover her face. "Help!" She screamed. Lucy's eyes widened as she prayed for somebody, anybody to help. He moved the knife to stab her when they heard a mighty roar. "Aslan?" She called out but she could not see him. In fact, she could see nothing.
Lucy woke up with a jolt. She breathed heavily. "In and out." She thought to herself. "In and out."
She sat up and looked out the cabin window. It was still dark outside and probably would be for sometime. She knew she wouldn't be able to go to sleep but she also knew that she needed the energy for tomorrow. So, she decided to go to Edmund's room. When she was younger, he could always calm her down with a bedtime story. Though she was too old for those, his company always made her feel better, even before they found Narnia.
Edmund heard a creak outside his cabin door but before he could say anything, Lucy walked in, holding a pillow to her chest. "Oh." She said in a whisper. "I thought you were asleep."
"I actually had one of those mist dreams again." He told her. "So there will be no sleeping for a while."
"I did too. That's why I came here." She said as she sat on the hammock with him. "I bet it was worse than yours." She said, challenging him.
"Please. Unless yours has a man in a dark cloak trying to stab you, I doubt it is that bad." He joked.
"Actually, that's exactly what mine had." Lucy said in a concerned voice. "Could you see his face?"
"No, I couldn't actually. Everything was happening so fast. One moment I was walking down the halls of our castle in Cair Paravel, and the next I was pinned down by some crazy person in a cloak." Edmund replied.
