Edmund banged on the cell door, "Let me out! Lucy! Lucy!" He yelled.

Caspian put a hand on the young boy's arm, "Easy Ed. We won't let your sister get sold. Don't worry."

Outside they could hear men gathering. Quickly the boys scrambled to the window. Caspian let Edmund stand on his knee. Out in the square a man stood on a stage. He picked up a fighting girl,"Lucy!" he yelled, "Lucy!"

"Edmund!" Came the reply. "Ed! Help!" she fought, kicking and struggled. Finally two men held her down and the bidding began.

Edmund dimly heard men bid for his sister, all he focused on was her face. When the SOLD sign was placed around her neck and being led away by her new owner, Edmund roared.

Now it was Caspian and his turn to be led from the cell. They were almost there when Caspian's men came to rescue. edmund got loose and ran down the road Lucy was led down. "Lucy!" he called, running.

Distantly he heard her, "Edmund! Edmund!"

"Lucy! I'm coming!" he ran towards her voice, but was clocked by a man with a sword. Edmund drew his sword and faced the man. When the fight ended he yelled once again for Lucy, but there was no reply. Crying Edmund dropped to his knees, cradling his head.

A strong hand rested on his shoulder, "Come Edmund. We must continue," came Caspian's voice.

Edmund's head jerked up, "Continue? With your quest?"

"Yes."

Edmund shrugged off his hand while standing, "Lucy is gone, Caspian! You said you wouldn't get sold! Doesn't she mean anything to you?" he spat.

Caspian bowed his head, "it is a terrible loss Edmund. And I didn't mean for this to happen and if I could I would search for her, but I can't. I need to go forth on my quest."

"No, you can't give up on her! She wouldn't on you." Edmund shook his head.

"Perhaps Sire, if I stayed behind with Edmund-" Reepicheep offered,

"No! I need you both." Caspian said.

Edmund got in Caspian's face, "If you think I'm going to let my sister stay in the hands of that man you are wrong. I will not go on with you."

Caspian stepped back, " I can not order you Edmund, but I'm telling you it will be hard to find her. According to the townspeople the buyer is a wizard. Please wait till after the quest. Then all my men will hunt for her. I promise."

Edmund was shaking his head, how could he wait? He was about to say no when Aslan's voice came to him, "Edmund, go with Caspian. His quest and Lucy's fate are combined."

'But how will I find her? I can't wait Aslan.'

"Trust me, my son."

"Okay, Aslan. I will go with Caspian.' Out loud he said to Caspian, "Okay I'll go Caspian."

Caspian bowed, "Thank you, Edmund. I promise we will look for Lucy on our way."

Edmund turned and walked towards the bay, "Okay."
