CHAPTER 1

"RUN KATE...GO RUN!" Her sister screamed at her. She looked back in horror as a pack of wolves closed the gap. They would reach them in seconds.

"NO! NOT WITHOUT YOU!" Kate screamed at her sister. How did we get stuck in this mess? Her sister smiled at her, but the fear was in her eyes. "KATE TRUST ME! JUST GO...PLEASE...GO..."She shoved her slightly to push her forward and then she turned to face the wolves. Kate ran without looking back. She just ran, tears spilling for her sister and the knowing they would never see each other again. Then a haunting scream filled the air and Kate stopped. "Sara" she whispered and dropped her head. How did this happen? The sound of wolves howling returned her to the present situation and she continued running.

Kate wasn't aware how long she was running but her legs were cramping in pain and her chest begged for air. After what felt like hours, Kate decided to rest. She allowed her emotion for her sister to come and she cried for who knows how long! She was alone and scared and then more howling caused her to jump. She was surrounded by wolves. Grey and huge with teeth sharp as knives. She back up slightly and the leader laughed.

"What's the matter? Huh...afraid?" he asked with a small hint of anticipation in his voice.

"S..s..stay back!" she ordered.

"Or what?" and he lunged for her and all she could do was scream.

Kate woke with a start. She had had that dream almost every night for the last 4 years...since is happened. She was still here, in Narnia. Currently she was lying in the snow under a large tree. Sitting up she took out some of the food Mrs. Beaver had prepared for her. The beavers had helped her alot in the last 4 years. As had Mr. Tumnus. Ever since that night. The night she lost her only family. She can clearly remember that day, the day she came here. She didn't like to think about it so she shook her head to clear it.

Standing up, she wiped the snow from her purple velvet dress that Mrs. Beaver had made her. Like she said, they helped alot. They were the one who found her crying in the woods when she was 10. She refused to talk for almost a month but with the help of everyone, Beavers, Tumnus and Rabbit, she came out of herself. But she never stayed put. She was always sneaking away. On more than one occasion the same wolves that had captured her sister had almost gotten her. She was 14, almost 15, and last night she decided to go see Mr. Tumnus but remembered that he had gone somewhere on a visit so instead of going back to Beavers dam se stayed outside.

She made sure all the snow was gone from her dress and ran her hand through her hair. She kept if short as of 4 years ago because it got in the way when fighting. She now had short, chestnut brown hair stopping just below her ear. It had a natural curl to it which she liked. She had blue eyes that mixed with green and her skin was pale except for the few freckles that lived there. Sighing, she decided to check if Mr. Tumnus was back. Just before she was about to pass the lamp-post she heard a scream. Running she stopped before coming into view. She was shocked.

There standing with Mr. Tumnus was a girl! An actual girl. When the beavers found her she was a half conscious but she did hear those exact words come from Mrs. Beavers mouth and in the 4 years she had been here she never saw another human being except Jadis, and that was only for a few moments. But now there was. She looked about 10 and had short brown hair too. She spoke with an English accent, like Kate. She noticed the scared look on Tumnus' face. She had seen the same on the night they first met. Kate watched while Tumnus invited the little girl, whose name she heard to be Lucy, and walk off in the direction of his house.

"What is he doing?" Kate asked herself. Jadis, the 'Queen' had forbidden the existence of humans in Narnia and it was through good luck and acquired skill that Kate had lived this long. Mrs. Beaver had said it was because Aslan had plans for me but I never believed in all that stuff. Like they prophecy. 2 sons of Adam and 2 daughters of Eve would come and rid us of the white witch. One of the first questions she had ever been asked was where her siblings were, they of course assuming that she was one of 4.

Kate followed Tumnus and the girl back to his house, she waited a few hours and was almost nodding off when the door burst open. She sat up and watched Tumnus drag the poor, scared looking girl, down the embankment of never ending snow and disappear into the trees. Deciding talk to him later she went back to Beavers Dam.

"Where were you!" Mrs. Beaver cried as she entered. "Around" she said innocently.

"Well you could have left a note!" said Beaver irritated. Kate smiled and went to sit in the corner where she kept her thing. "You'll never believe what I just saw..."

"Mr. Beaver actually coming home when he's told!" she said causing Kate to giggle.

"No, that would be impossible...actually I saw Tumnus...he was...well...he was talking to...a...girl" Beaver stopped. She spun to look at Kate.

"As in a human?" she asked, shock and excitement clear in her voice. Kate nodded.

"Well who was she?" Mrs. Beaver questioned. "I don't know...I planned asking Tumnus but he left suddenly pulling the girl with him...I'm going back tomorrow to find out!" Suddenly the door opened and in came Mr. Beaver and Badger. Kate greeted both before excusing herself. She was tired from last night and wanted to get some sleep and that is exactly what she did.

Kate had over slept so by the time she got up the Beavers had gone on their usual errands. Quickly writing a note saying she was going to Tumnus' she grabbed some food and went to the door, grabbing her small dagger that Mr. Beaver had given her. She never went anywhere without it. She was too scared to. She grabbed her cloak and went quickly out the door. She was halfway to Tumnus' when she spotted the same little girl from the day before except now she was pulling a boy, about her age, behind her. Their talk slowly faded and soon it was quiet once more. Kate needed to find out who they were and walked quickly the rest of the way to Tumnus' house. As she approached, he was already leaving, with a very worried look on his face. She decided to wait so went in. Within the hour he returned.

"Kate...i...What...What are you doing here?" she asked, again panicked, looking over his shoulder.

"Who's the girl Tumnus?" she asked. This only made him more agitated. Suddenly there was laughing behind him and Tumnus spun to see 5 wolves blocking the entrance. Tumnus backed up so as to shield Kate from harm. Kate knew the next voice anywhere.

"Why hello there!" Morgrim said. Kate shuddered at the sound. The two things that scared her where the Witch's wand and wolves.

"Tumnus..tutututut...You know it's illegal to talk to humans...So I suppose you're going to have to come with us..." Two of the other wolves jumped for him quickly over powering him and dragging him from the house leaving Kate with Morgrim and the other wolves.

"How long's it been...4 years?" he laughed. Kate started backing up but one of the wolves came up behind her growling. She shuddered and faced Morgrim. "Take her too" he said and immediately she was being pulled by the skirt of her dress to the door. She knew it was pointless to run. If she complied she might live that bit longer. As she left Morgrim started trashing the house. There was a sleigh outside and Kate was forced onto it and was brought to the Witches Castle. "Here it goes again!"
