I ran through the woods as quickly as I could, I did not know what happened only that I did not want to stick around to find out. I was out of breath but my survival instincts had kicked in and were making me run, as fast as I could.
It wasn't my woods, I know they are just trees but to me they are where I have spent my entire life - I know this isn't where I was knocked out it was in a strange land and I did not know where or how or why.
I had been running through my woods with Wrolf, Maria's dog, at one point I noticed that Wrolf had disappeared I turned round and shouted his name but I heard Maria scream - she was more important, my Dad wanted her head on a stick - I had to go help her, Wrolf could look after himself.
I ran towards the sound of Maria's scream, as I saw Maria she shouted something at me that I couldn't quite comprehend. I fell to the floor after a sharp pain in the back of my head started.
I saw my father grab Maria from behind and Wrolf appear he growled at my father and dragged me by my ankle into- I don't know where, I lost all recollection of events from there on. I just remember waking up here.
I flew through the trees dodging this way and that every so often reaching up to feel and make sure my black hat was still there.
As I turned round to make sure no one was following me, I slammed into someone they flew a few feet and as I registered the scene I noticed two others, two girls, who had crowded round the sandy haired boy on the floor. I started backing away but was stopped by what I guessed was a dagger digging into my back.
"Not so fast, idiot", a cold male voice came from directly behind me, a young male I guessed, "Stay right where you are", once he felt he had my attention he spoke again more calmly and the dagger that was in my back stopped digging in quite so much, "Alright give me your name and why you showed such little respect for your King?", it was a familiar accent, a London accent
"Wait did you say King?" I suddenly blurted.
One of the girls stood up, "is that an English accent? I don't understand! How did he find Narnia? How is he here?"
"Narnia? Are you kids playing some kind of imaginary game?"
"Imaginary? Narnia isn't imaginary! It never has been imaginary!" she got a small gloat in her voice as she said, "Hasn't it, Edmund?"
"Oh, shut up, Lucy!" snapped the voice from behind me.
Ok, evaluation time, what do I know about my captures – well, they're nuts for start and there's four of them that I can see. So far I know Lucy and Edmund, I'm guessing at least the two of them are brothers and sisters, the way they argue.
I utilised this information the best way I could because as this Narnia thing is imaginary maybe the dagger was fake too. I decided to use this bit of information by elbowing backwards and striking nose. Edmund let out a cry of pain and removed the dagger from my back, as I spun to make a break for it I was stopped by the sight of a dagger, a real dagger, that thing was in my back, I could have been killed!
Suddenly being brought back to reality by the shiny metal of the dagger. I turned and bolted. dodging through the trees. I heard the pounding of several feet sounding behind me as I ran I went to leap down a hole that I could see between the tree roots, when I felt intense pain in my foot, I turned round to see Wrolf, he was tugging at my ankle trying to pull me out of the hole.
"Stop, Wrolf! I need to save Maria!" Wrolf still tugged at my leg, I would have hit him but we'd only just really made friends and were still on very thin ice.
By now, Lucy, Edmund and friends appeared and Wrolf let me go. Wrolf's midnight black fur changed to a golden mass of fur and Wrolf himself became a lion.
"Aslan!" my eyes widened as Lucy ran forward to give Wrolf a hug. The other girl, a tall, intelligent looking, chocolate haired girl, she had sea blue eyes and was beautiful, she ran towards me with strong but delicate steps. She bent down next to me and said in a beautiful voice, "you're hurt", she gazed straight into my eyes, brushed my leg where Wrolf's teeth had gone in, I had to bite my lip to stop from screaming and looking like a little kid. Suddenly Lucy came hurtling over and sat down pulling a small bottle that resided on the string round her neck, "You don't deserve it, but I'm going to give you some medicine, now just open your mouth".
"I don't think so, that could be poison or anything – I don't know who you are", I looked around me gesturing at the woods around me, "this isn't the woods I got knocked out in, and this isn't the woods I intend to stay in – it's like my father told me, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"
The girls glanced at each other with an incredibly annoyed glance, "we've got to give it to you because that bite Aslan gave you, might kill you", Lucy had an incredibly stuck up demeanour about her, I had already decided that I did not like her.
"I will not take any of your poison", I knocked the bottle out of her hands and it smashed leaking the poisonous contents everywhere, "Now just let me go and I can get back to my woods", I stood up, and with a huge effort managed to take a step but was thrown back down by Edmund, who had been helping the other boy to stumble after me, "Okay, crazy people, let me go so I can find my way back to my woods – and what did you do with Wrolf? He's gone all ginger", I gestured towards Wrolf or 'Aslan'
"That is Aslan", he said 'Aslan' slowly as if I was an idiot, "He is, sort of our guide. But, anyway", he put the sword to my neck so that it was pushing against my oesophagus, "Who. Are. You?" he spoke jabbing the sword harder and harder into my neck with the tip of his sword. The other boy had propped himself up onto his side an the two other girls were stood around Edmund/
Wrolf padded over to me and he protracted his claws. He placed his claws on my stomach digging them in, he turned to Edmund and I'm almost 100% sure that when he growled he spoke too because almost instantaneously Edmund turned back to me and said, "Tell. Me. Your. Name. Seriously, kid-"
I interrupted him before he could go any further, "Kid? Kid? I'm no kid, I'm 18! And by the looks of things I'm older than you!" I said all this between winces as Wrolf's claws were digging in – wuite deep now I imagined, I was this close to tears, I think I lost my hat and my dagger had disappeared, I had discovered this when Wrolf originally stood on me, I no longer had any regrets about killing Maria's stupid dog anymore, I mean it was killing me.
"Just tell us", the boy was clearly at the end of his tether and I was this close to screaming and crying, my father had always told me, 'Never let the enemy see your emotions' it lets people know your weaknesses.
I felt a tear trickle down my cheek, I had done the same only a few hours ago when my father found out I'd been helping Maria.
As Wrolf dug his claws in a little further, I began to get black dots in the corners of my vision, and before I knew it I had passed out.
