Hello so I decided to end my last Fan fiction I was writing and have decided to write a new one. I have recently loved watching Prince Caspian ad then this idea hit me so I hope you like it xx
Professor Cornelius glided down the cold dark hallways using his long black robe to blend in with the darkness. Once arriving at his destination he looked around to see if he had been spotted before slipping into the room. He crept over to the sleeping prince making sure to note cause to much noise. Thankfully the bird located above the young Princes bed- to warn the guard if someone entered the room- was accustomed to seeing the Professor at night when he and Caspian would go star gazing. The round plump Professor with the long white beard placed his hand over Caspian's mouth. Caspian who had been having a peaceful slumber quickly opening his eyes letting out a quick breath ready to fight the intruder but saw when he opened his eyes his eyes he say his Professor standing there. He instantly thought the Professor wanted him to go out Star gazing as his weekly lesson.
"Five more minutes."Caspian replied rolling over onto his side trying to fall back to sleep.
"We won't be watching the stars tonight my Prince. Come we must hurry." The Professor said pulling Caspian out of his bed.
"Professor what is going on?" Caspian asked him while he was dragged over to the hidden staircase only him, the professor and his sister knew about hidden behind the wardrobe.
"Your aunt has given birth." The professor said this looking up into Caspian's Eyes. "To a son."
This news hit Caspian like a tonne of bricks. He knew to suspect it but he never really knew how it would feel to know it.
"Where are we going?" Caspian asked his.
"You need to get out of the Castle." The professor answered.
"What? I'm not leaving Princess Catherina."
"Sir you must." Cornelius urged pulling Caspian down the first step.
"No!" Caspian all but yelled yanking his arm away from his professor.
"Fine, you go down to the armoury. Get whatever you need and then head to the stables. The Princess and I will meet you there. "Cornelius said.
Caspian felt reassured his little sister would be joining him. Well he couldn't really call her his little sister she was 16 after all just two year younger than the Prince himself. Caspian heard footsteps outside his door and he quickly closed the wardrobe door leaving on a small gap which he could see out of.
He saw his door open quietly and he saw General Glozelle walk into the room followed by seven other guards. They formed a circle around his bed before raising bows in their hands. General Glozelle raised his hand before dropping it. At this signal the guards pushed the trigger on their bows and arrows went flying into Caspian's bed. Feathers flew everywhere and the eagle above let out cries while at the same time flapping its wings. Just as Caspian turned round he saw out of the corner of his eye one of the guards shoot the eagle down.
Caspian ran down the steps after his Professor two tunnels leading in opposite directions lay ahead of them. Caspian gave a quick nod to Cornelius before running down run knowing that every second now counts. He got to where all the armour was kept and lifted one leather chainmail for himself and a smaller one for his sister. He lifted tow swords as well as a crossbow and dagger. He knew he had to be silent so he crept down the silent hallway before out one of the side doors and running across the empty courtyard to where the stables where. When he got the he saw his sister saddling up one of the horses. He noticed when he got a bit closer t was his own horse Destrier. She looked up upon hearing him arrive. She was wearing brown trousers boots with a white blouse tucked into her trousers. Her long brown hair braided into a plate with bits of hair framing her face. Her eyes were still full of sleep and she looked exhausted.
"Caspian what's going on?" She asked walking round from the other side of the horse to hug her brother.
"Our so called uncle wants us dead Catherina. Aunt gave birth tonight. She had a boy. So now Uncle Miraz has an heir of his own he no longer has need for us."
"What? I mean how. We are the rightful heirs." She said taking a step back looking up at him.
"I don't know anymore Catherina. All I know if that Professor Cornelius told us we need to leave right before the general and guards shot at my bed." He said looking around when he mentioned the Professors name.
"What?"Catherina asked shock evident on her face.
"Where is the Professor?" Caspian asked ignoring her question.
"He said he had to get something from his study but if he was not back in five minutes to leave."
"How long has he been gone?" Caspian asked.
"About five minutes now." Catherina told him looking at the floor.
"Okay." Caspian said nodding. "Put these on." He said handing her the chainmail. She put it on securing the straps. Caspian then handed her the sword. She put it into the sheath.
"Hold the reins." Caspian told her while he put his foot into the stirrups to mount. Once Caspian was securely on he put his hand out and pulled his sister onto the back of the horse. He attached the bow to the side of the horse.
"Your majesty's." He heard his professor say, just as he was about to kick the horse into action.
He turned round to his professor and saw he had something in his hand. When the professor was right beside the horse Caspian could make out it was a horn with the shape of a lion's head on the other end.
"It has taken me many years to find this. Do not use it except for your greatest needs. Make for the woods; they will not follow you there." Caspian took the horn and attached it to the sheath his sword was connected too.
"The woods?" Caspian asked knowing the stories the Professor told him of what lay beyond the trees.
The horse then got a little jumpy as if knowing the impending danger.
"Will we ever see you again?" the princess quickly asked.
"I dearly hope so my princess, There is so much more I wanted to tell you. Everything you know is about to change." "Everything you know is about to change." He was then cut off by the sounds of guards shouting. "Go now." He said giving the horse a hit. The last image the Prince or Princess had of their dear old professor was him slowly fading into the distance as they rode away. When they re-entered the courtyard there were a few more soldiers' in it Caspian pulled out his sword taking the reins in one hand while striking any solider who got in his way. He put his sword away as they ran through the gate Caspian grabbed one of the sticks planted on the wall hitting one of the fire torches into a bucket distracting one of the guards. Suddenly fireworks went of behind them and their horse reared up.
"A son, A son Brenavitch Garsel has given Lord Miraz a Son." A voice announced behind them. Soldiers suddenly came I pursuit. For what seemed like hours they rode and rode crossing the river. Once they were out of that though they were given a few minutes extra to get away. Catherina looked behind them to see if the soldiers where in sight.
"Catherina duck." Caspian shouted. But it was to late she turned around just to be hit by a tree and everything turned to black. Caspian was pulled back by Catherina's body going limp and they crumpled to the ground. The horse continued on taking with him the bow and arrow. Caspian crouched over his sister's body willing her to wake up. All of a sudden light appeared from one of the stumps of a tree and what seemed like two dwarfs appeared. Narnian's! It was true everything his had professor told him. Then the sounds of horses were heard and one of the dwarfs ordered the other to do something. One started approaching Caspian and the other ran off towards the sound of the horses were coming from. Caspian saw the horn lying on the ground just as the dwarf did. He lunged forward grabbing it and blowing through it.
"No!" The dwarf shouted and he knocked Caspian unconscious. His last thought being his sister hoping she would be safe.
Well I hope it didn't suck. So if you like it please leave a Review and be as nice or as horrible as you would like. And leave any ideas you have. Thank you xx
