Disclaimer: I don't own The Chronicles of Narnia. This fic is not for profit. I do, however, own the character Audrey and the plot.
(A/N: This is my first shot at a Narnia fic. This story idea just wouldn't leave me alone. This fic is based on what happened in the movie, not the books and is an AU. Please review, constructive criticism would be wonderful, flames will be used to roast marshmallows! Oh, and please enjoy!)
"Sight Unseen" Ch. 1 (Narnia, Aslan's Camp)
A fiery red-haired girl of 16 approached Aslan and gave a short bow. The great lion returned her bow.
"Only three of the four Pevensies made it," she stated, turning to the entry way of the tent and peeking through the gap.
The camp had halted all of their work to gaze upon the three children, who were approaching the tent.
"As you have foreseen, " Aslan said.
She gave half a nod and a small smile. "Last night."
"Come, Audrey. We do not have time to waste," he told her.
Audrey exited the tent first and stood next to Oreius. Peter approached her, lifting his sword and said,
"We have come to see Aslan."
The crowd murmured. Audrey looked from him to the tent she had just exited. She and Oreius bowed, and the rest of the camp followed. Slowly, the great lion appeared from the tent. When he did so, the children bowed as well.
"Welcome, Peter, Son of Adam. Welcome, Susan and Lucy, Daughters of Eve. And welcome to you Beavers. You have my thanks," Aslan said. "But where is the fourth?"
They all stood up.
Peter said, "That's why we're here, sir. We need your help."
"We had a little trouble along the way," Susan spoke up.
"Our brother's been captured by the White Witch," Peter told him.
"Captured? How has this happened?" Aslan asked.
"He betrayed them, Your Majesty," Mr. Beaver said slowly.
There was a soft murmur from the surrounding troops in the camp, who were watching intently.
"Than he has betrayed us all!" exclaimed the centaur.
"Peace, Oreius," Aslan ordered firmly and calmly. "I'm sure there's an explanation."
Susan and Peter hung their heads a bit.
"It's my fault, really," Peter said softly. "I was too hard on him."
Susan laid a hand on her brothers shoulder and they both looked at one another.
She turned to look at Aslan and told the lion, "We all were."
Lucy finally spoke up and said in a small voice, "Sir, he's are brother."
"I know, dear one. But that only makes the betrayal all the worse," Aslan told her gently. "This may be harder than you think."
(Aslan's Camp, Girls Tent)
"I made these for you, as well as the King's clothes," Audrey said, opening a trunk full of Narnian clothes. "I hope you like them."
Susan and Lucy approached the trunk. Susan immediately went for the green dress.
"I knew you'd like that one. It goes so well with your eyes," Audrey commented.
Lucy and Susan turned and looked at her.
"I am the one who foresaw your future and that of Narnia, many years ago," she told the sisters.
Lucy picked up a blue dress. She looked up at Audrey and said, "Thank you."
Audrey returned with a smile.
"Have you ever been wrong?" Susan asked rather bluntly.
"No," she answered simply. Audrey then sighed and told the girls wisely, "I did see you arrive to Narnia as four. Last night, however, I saw only you three, just as you did today. I do know this," she met their eyes, "we will get your brother back. Safely."
