Caspian's Point Of View

"King? Aslan is here. He wants to see you." Trumpkin said to me. I leaned away from the balcony, the thoughts of Susan following me as I went to meet Aslan.

"Aslan," I bowed down before him.

"Rise, King Caspian," I stood and saw his golden eyes full of worry and sadness. "I have terrible news. But, this is something I must show you, not tell." I nodded, and we left the castle.

We were standing in a wood. It was very green, and I felt as if I could lay here and sleep all day. Aslan led me to a pool of water, and said,

"What you are about to see, is the world which the Kings and Queens of old come from. Queen Susan is in great pain and her siblings no nothing about it." As he said this, my heart sped up. The thought of someone hurting Susan made me furious. The pool rippled and suddenly a horrific scene was being played before my eyes.

Susan was hanging clothing up on a line, with a blank look on her face. There were many other women doing other chores around her. As she turned her back to the pool, I saw the blood that had seeped through her white dress. She had marks left from a whip across her back, and a big cut on her arm.

"GIRL!" yelled a man, coming up to Susan. "The boss wants you." He forcefully grabbed her arm and dragged her away from the line. She stumbled along after him.

The sight of that man grabbing her that way made me fume. Aslan must have sensed this, for he told me to keep watching.

The man pushed Susan into a room, where another man –presumably the boss—was sitting in a chair. "Ah, Angel. It's about time you got here. I have something for you to do." Susan's eyes narrowed as she seemed to pull out of her walking dead look. "A man here is in search of some… company." The man laughed and Susan spit in his face. His laughter faded quickly.

"I will never. You will have to kill me first."

"Hmm, in that case… Throw her in the dungeon. No food, no water. But, before you do that, bring me my stick." The man commanded. Susan closed her eyes in defeat. The man came up to her with a beating stick, and he raised it above his head. But, as he went to bring it down, the pool rippled, and the image faded. I was gripped in anger. I couldn't even respond to Aslan.

Susan's Point Of View

As he brought the stick down over my head, I reached up and grabbed his arm mid-air. He seemed slightly surprised that I was able to stop his hand. I pushed his arm back and kneed him in the gut. The man behind me grabbed my hair, and pulled me back. I tried to twist around but the man's hold on my hair stopped me.

"You foolish girl! Throw her in solitary!" Exclaimed the mad boss.

The guards dragged me down a hallway, and threw me in a dark cage. I started sobbing, the pain of reality setting in. Somewhere in the dark, came a light. I looked up and wiped away my tears. The light was coming closer, and I felt a pinch on my arm…

"It feels like… No, it can not be. I must be dead." I said as I walked into the light.

I showed up in a beautiful field full of flowers. Woods surrounded the field, and in the distance I could see mountains. "Narnia…" I breathed out.

"Yes, dear one." Aslan said from behind me. I turned around fast, and when I saw it was him, I ran and tackled him with a hug. He laughed, and said, "It is good to see you."

"Aslan, I thought I was never allowed to come back to Narnia. Why am I here?" I asked.

"My Queen, I was wrong. You may not need Narnia anymore, but Narnia needs you. Its King needs you." He smiled.

"Caspian?" I asked puzzled. "How much time has passed here?"

"Only as much time as in your world," He replied.

"How is that possible?"

"Narnia time is unpredictable. Seconds could pass by here, while it is days in your world. Or days could pass here, while its seconds in your world." He explained.

"Aslan, what about my brothers and sister, are they here as well?"

"Of course! They are already at the castle, waiting. I figured you would want to tell them what happened… I am so sorry I didn't save you sooner, Queen Susan."

"It is I who should apologize, Aslan. I didn't believe that I would come back. I thought you didn't care enough. I'm sorry." I bowed my head in shame, but he lifted it with his paw.

"Come, we must hurry. Climb on my back, we will get there much sooner!" I climbed onto his back and laughed as he roared.
