Hey guys! So this is the sequel to my story The Hughes, so if you haven't already you will want to read that one first.

I would like to let you all know that in this story, unlike it's prequel, the main focus will not be on Edmarie. The reason for this is that I wanted to focus more on Pediane and Thomusan in this one because I usually do Suspian, so I wanted to change it up a bit.

Other than that, there is just one more thing I'd like to say before I begin the story. I would just like to thank Rachel Kate Doxey and FlightFeathers for helping me get through The Hughes and giving me the encouragement to start on this one as well.You guys are amazing!

Now, you can get on to the story.

Disclaimer: Me, myself, and I do not own TCoN.

Prince Caspian stirred slightly as someone shook him lightly by the arm. "Five more minutes," he mumbled sleepily. "No your majesty," his professor said. "We won't be watching the stars tonight my Prince." Caspian sat up. "What is it?" he asked groggily.

"You're aunt has given birth," said the professor. Caspian gave him a confused look as if to say, "and I care why?" "To a son," elaborated the professor.

Those words were all that Caspian needed to jump out of bed and get ready quickly. He knew very well what a son meant. It meant that Caspian was the only thing standing in the way of his cruel uncle's child becoming king one day. He got ready quickly and followed his professor outside.

The professor brought him outside, and Caspian knew that soon enough the alarm would sound and the guards would come. He quickly got on Destrier as the alarms sounded and the Professor stood beside him. "You must make for the woods," the Professor told him hurriedly. "They won't follow you there."

He gave Caspian a horn, obviously very old by the look of it. "It has taken me many years to find this," he told him. "Do not use it except for your greatest need." "will I ever see you again?" asked Caspian. "I dearly hope so my Prince," said the Professor. "There is so much more I meant to tell you. Everything you know is about to change."

The guards suddenly came out also on horseback, and before Caspian could so anything the Professor slapped his horse and it took off quickly. Caspian made his horse go as fast as it possibly could as he fought his way through the gates, making his way to the woods as he had been told.

And with one final look back at his childhood home, Caspian raced past the guards and toward to woods.

Unfortunately, the Professor had been wrong when he told Caspian that the guards would not follow him. albeit a bit slowly, they did in fact chase him and Caspian found himself deep in the woods, nowhere near any landmark he knew of. He rode for miles, crossing a river even, and his horse nearly drowned before he got to the other side.

He had nearly got away when suddenly he was hit by a branch and was thrown off his horse, merely hanging on by a shoe now. With difficulty he kicked himself free and was able to stop being dragged, though his horse disappeared from sight.

Groaning he laid on the ground, and the whole forest was still for just a moment. He sat up slowly and looked around him, and in the distance he could now hear the faint beat of horses running. Suddenly there was a loud bang and out of what Caspian had previously assumed to be a rock there came two dwarves and a badger.

"He's seen us!"

One dwarf ran up to him and was about to slice him with a sword when he saw the horn that lay on the ground beside Caspian, which had been in his pocket until he was thrown off Destrier. The sound of the horses became louder and it became apparent that they were very nearby. Soon the guards were in sight and the dwarf seemed to come to a decision.

"Take care of him," he said to the other dwarf, who was standing next to the rock. He ran off and went into battle with the guards, and even though it didn't seem likely he would win the dwarf braved on. Before Caspian knew what he was doing the dwarf came at him and Caspian suddenly picked up the horn and blew on it before his whole world went dark.

-LINE BREAK BECAUSE THE REGULAR LINE WAS TOO BORING-

Diane Hughes looked around herself. Just like all those years ago, she was standing in a train station, looking around at everything. Of course, it was only one year ago by actual time. The children had been very surprised when they found that they had gone back home, seeing as they had forgotten about it completely about it at the time, but were pleasantly surprised to find that they all still had their rings.

The difference this time, however, was that she was looking for someone and not just absently looking around. She and her siblings had convinced their parents, who had just gotten back from the war, to allow them to go to the same boarding schools as the Pevensies, who were supposed to meet them at the train station.

Thomas and Peter were fourteen now, leaving Susan and Diane at thirteen, Marie and Edmund at eleven, and Anthony and Lucy at nine. Peter and Thomas both found this an annoyance as the older girls were both getting much prettier and boys were starting to notice them more and more often.

She looked around, trying to find her friends and husband, and suddenly she heard a ruckus coming from the staircase at the front of the train station. She had a bad feeling that she knew what it was about- Susan had kept in contact with her and her brother and had told them that Peter was getting into fights often anymore.

She and her brother shared a weary look and went over to where the fight was going on, bringing Anthony and Marie along with them.

The staircase had a huge crowd at the bottom of it, chanting and yelling. They pushed their way to the front of the crowd, and what they saw made Diane's mouth drop. Peter and Edmund were both fighting with some boys very much bigger than them and getting their butts whopped royally.

Susan and Lucy were on the other side of the crowd, yelling at them to stop it, and when Diane and Susan's eyes met for a moment Diane saw the message that was clearly there: Make it stop. Diane watched as the fight was broken up by a police officer, making the crowd disperse, and Peter and Edmund got a firm talking-to by one officer.

When the boys were told to move on, they went back to their sisters as the Hughes siblings walked over to them. Diane and Marie gave both of their husbands' very stern looks as they walked back to a bench and sat down, Edmund's arm over Marie and the rest of them sitting close to their husbands and wives. "What was it this time?" asked Diane, her voice stern and one eyebrow raised.

Peter looked cross. "He bumped me," he said simply. Susan looked confused. "You hit him because he bumped you?" she asked incredulously. "No," said Peter, his voice showing how mad he was. "He bumped me and told me to apologize. That's when I hit him."

Diane sighed. "Peter you've got to stop this," she said. He looked down at her. Now at fourteen again, he was about two inches taller. "Is it really so hard to walk away?" "I shouldn't have to," snapped Peter. "Don't you every get tired of being treated like a kid?"

Diane sighed. "We are kids," Edmund said. "I wasn't always," said Peter. "It's been a year. How long does He expect us to wait?" He didn't have to elaborate; everyone knew what he was talking about. "I think it's time we except that we live here," said Susan. "There's no use pretending any different."

"That's harsh," commented Marie. "So is reality," bit back Thomas.

Diane put a hand on her husband's cheek, looking into his eyes. "I want to go back too," she said soothingly. "But we have to be patient and wait." She kissed him lightly, making him sigh before she pulled back. Susan suddenly turned to the others. "Pretend you're talking to me," she hissed. The others looked behind her to find a boy walking toward them.

Suddenly Lucy jumped up. "Ow!" she said. "Something pinched me!"

One by one the others did the same, and the wind started whipping past as a train went by. But it felt different than it should, Diane realized. "Everyone hold hands!" she yelled. Edmund had a problem, but presently he came round and they held hands as the wind rushed by. Suddenly the train station started to disappear until there was nothing.

The children looked around them when the wind stopped. They stood in the middle of a beach. The children smiled at each other before they all ran as one to the water, splashing around and playing joyfully before getting out and looking around them.

Suddenly Edmund stopped. "Where do you suppose we are?" he asked. The others gave him identical incredulous looks. "Where do you think?" asked Peter. "Narnia of course." "But I don't remember there being any ruins in Narnia," said Edmund. The others looked up at the top of the hill before them and realized he was right: there were ruins there.

They walked up to the ruins and looked around, looking at the crumbling pillars and broken walls. There were no more floors, and in the place there was just the hard ground from the hill.

"I wonder who lived here?" asked Marie. "I-I think we did," said Susan slowly. The others looked around. "Imagine walls there," said Lucy. "And pillars there, and a grand ceiling there." She pointed as she said each thing, and when she was done Diane found that she was completely right.

"Hey," said Edmund, picking something up from the ground. "This was mine, from my chess set." Diane looked at it and found that it was in fact a knight piece from his set back in the Golden Age. "Which chess set?" asked Peter. Edmund rolled his eyes at his brother. "Well I didn't have a solid gold chess set in Finchley did I?" he said sarcastically.

"It's Cair Paravel," said Marie in wonder, looking around. Suddenly her eyes seemed to take in a sad look. "What happened here?" They looked around at the overgrown weeds and the tall grass now surrounding the ruins. "This didn't just happen," said Thomas suddenly. "Cair Paravel was attacked. There's cannon dust there, and there." He pointed as he talked, and the children saddened.

Then Anthony saw something over by the side. "Look," he said. "The treasure chamber is still there!" The others looked over at where he was pointing and found that he was right. In front, just like before, was the large wall that blocked people from coming into the chamber and stealing the gold and jewels there.

The boys pushed the wall away to reveal the staircase that they had walked down so many times. Peter tore a piece of his shirt and wrapped it around a small stick he found, obviously about to make a torch with it. "Anybody got a match?" he asked. The others shook their heads.

"No," said Edmund, looking through his bag until he came out with a flashlight. "But would this help?" He held up the flashlight for Peter to see, and the others laughed. "You might have mentioned that a bit sooner!" said Peter, though he had a grin on his face. He took the flashlight and shone it into the dark room as he led the others down.

They walked down the steps carefully, making sure not to trip, until they got to the bottom, where they saw that the treasure room was bright with sunlight. The king's and queen's chests were there, along with their statues. "I can't believe it," said Peter. "It's all still here."

They went to the chests one by one and looked inside. "I was so tall," said Lucy, holding up a dress that was far too large for her. "You were older then," said Susan, smiling at her sister. Edmund grinned. "As opposed to hundreds of years later," he said. "When you're younger."

Edmund had on a helmet that he had worn in battle, and it was obviously much too big for him. Marie chuckled. The children looked at their gifts, which were all dusty, and remembered the bittersweet memories of their friends. Peter looked at his statue. He had looked so magnificent then, but now he was just a regular kid again.

Diane sensed his sadness and put her hand on his shoulder comfortingly, giving him a light smile of comfort.

"My horn is missing," said Susan. "I must have left it on my saddle the day we went back." Suddenly Diane realized something. "Tumnus and all our old friends," she said. "They're all gone." Everyone got on a sad face for a moment before Peter cleared his throat. "Well," he said. "I suppose there's no use in going on about it now. We need to figure out why we're here."

So the children got dressed quickly in clean Narnian clothes and got their weapons on them just in case before going down to the beach, getting ready to explore the new Narnia.

So I decided to cut it there 'cause I liked it there. I hope you all enjoy it! Please review, and again any new readers should probably go back to The Hughes before going on. Thank you all for reading, and if you are out there Rachel Kate Doxey I would be happy forever if you'd review!
