Disclaimer: I do not own Chronicles of Narnia. On with the show!
It had been five years since they had last seen their Narnian families, and they had lost hope long ago. Peter could still picture, after all these years, his wife and son's tear-stained faces.
But, he had to follow the Great Lion's wishes; he had done so much for all of them.
Off into the distance, he could hear his 5 year-old nephew crying and clinging onto his sister, while his brother-in-law tried to stop himself from following her to England.
Everyone had suffered that day, and every day after. For half of themselves was missing, at least for the eldest Pevensies. Edmund and Lucy had never tied-the-knot with other people, but were off sailing through the Lone Islands for its annual hunting show, when they were taken.
For months, none of them got a good rest, not after what Aslan told them a couple weeks after they had returned. Narnia was attacked. By some vicious savages named Telmarines. They had begged with the Great Lion to send them back, so they could protect their families and their very country. He had refused, saying that the Fates had already decided Narnia's fate. He didn't reveal more, no matter how hard they tried.
( almost 5 years after they returned to England)
Ramundu's daughter sat looking out over the crystal-clear waters. Gently lapping waters rose to meet her, when there was a disturbance. She could just spot a sail lapping up the cool breeze, but it was enough. She ran as fast as she could to the cottage where she and her son lived. Alexander Leo Pevensie looked up from his astronomy book to see his mother gathering up a month's worth of supplies.
He jumped into action, his blond hair flying in the tumbling sea winds. He grabbed his small hunting knife, and ran to the deserted cave they always came to when the Telmarines came to their island.
'Hide' he thought with vigor, racing along the sea bank. But it was not to be. He saw scores of men offloading from the biggest ship the 11 year-old had ever seen. Even bigger than his father's.
They spotted him.
