This is an AU based off the VOTDTM. I was wondering why Edmund thought of Sea Monsters instead of the Witch, especially after seeing her only seconds before. Anyways here is my take of how it should have happened. Warning this is a very very short chapie but I split it inot two so I could really focus on having an epic battle scene. I also have not given up on my other story but I have several rbbid plot bunnies bouncing around my head and I fear they will eat me if I don't write them down soon! I do not own anything! ENJOY!

Her ice cold breath skimmed my cheek.

"Edmund dear, it's been a long time hasn't it? You know I need a king. Be my king Edmund." She said using a very similar voice that lead to my betrayal all those years ago.

I tried to block it out but the green mist continued to swirl around me, taunting me. I swung wildly with my sword, doing anything in my power to kill her. Then, as if waking up from a dreadful nightmare I realized one important fact, Jadis was dead.

"You're dead. I smashed your wand and- and peter and Aslan came. You're dead." I chanted over and over again in my mind but I couldn't seem to make my mouth form the words. I was past the point of panicking now. Why did no one else see her? Why wasn't anyone helping me?

"Would you like some Turkish delight? I recall that you believed it to be more valuable than your siblings little king. They abandoned you once more. Release me and I'll make them pay dearly no matter what world they are in. Isn't that what you wanted?" She whispered in my ear.

Then something snapped. "Never again!" I screamed in rage. I have changed and I would not follow the same path twice. I have come too far to destroy the love and hope we have established for Narnia.

I nearly screamed again, only now in surprise as I felt a hand on my shoulder, but instead of the long slender hand of the witch was Lucy's warm fingers. She gave me a concerned stare, understanding what the mist had shown me. I nodded in return, breathing heavily. With that, as quickly as she came, the witch disappeared, recognizing defeat.

"We draw closer to the Dark Island, King Caspian. The fog seems too thick to steer. Your orders?" The captain questioned.

Before Caspian had time to answer shouting was heard in the distance.

"Edmund, your torch!" The King remembered.

The Just king of old flicked it on, scanning the area for any sign of distress. The man was so old and withered he nearly missed him. But just then he cried out again.

"Stop, come no further! The island is evil! Do not let it know your fears!" He screamed.

With a thud I dropped my torch. Lions mane no, this couldn't happen.

"Edmund! What did you think about?" She screamed.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry. I thought of Her." I whispered so quietly it was a wonder anyone could hear. Silence was heavy throughout the ship as the first layers of ice started to form.

"Everyone get your weapons! We won't go down without a fight!" The captain screamed at his men trying his best not to slip.

Normally, I would have kept my poise and blocked my mind, but after seeing Jadis only seconds before I was anything but stable. She brought back so many memories it was like a flood, washing away any other thoughts I had in my mind earlier.

I snapped out of my trance as the clicking of heels grew louder. She was here.
