What happened next was such a blur, all she knew is she was off of her horse, 100 feet or so away. Her horse lay on her side neighing and kicking. This beast, this monster, it looked like a Minotaur breeded with a Griffin and a Werewolf, it was right over her ready to attack. If lifted its arm/wing to strike when a hoof struck it in the jaw, causing it to cry out. Lucy looked to see where the hoof came from, she couldn't believe her eyes… It was Tumnus! The Faun she dreamed to reunite with, he was saving her from this creature. She lept up and ran to her horse, it had a large gash in its side and she knew it wouldn't make it. She looked back to see Tumnus knocking out the last of the beasts and he limped over toward her, obviously in pain. That's when she realized her own pain, she looked down at her yellow flowing gown to see a red stain, growing bigger and bigger. "Lucy!" Tumnus yelled limping to her side, in time to catch her as she fainted. Oh Lucy my dear child, what have you gotten yourself into?" He cried out, though no one was listening. What was he to do? He couldn't possibly make it back to his cave with his in time to do her any good, not with his broken leg. Those Mingrolfs must have wanted to take her for ransom he thought. He had to take her somewhere, but where?
Lucy coughed up blood opening her eyes to see herself in Tumnus' arms. "Wha-what happened Mr. Tumnus? Where are we?"
"Lucy dear, I've told you in the past, call me Tumnus" He paused and couldn't help but smile at the girl he once kidnapped, she'd grown into such a beautiful lady, she was still practically helpless, and despite her condition, as polite as she ever was. "Those Mingrolfs attacked you, I believe they were looking to kidnap you for ransom. I happened to be walking through this area and saw them attack." "Mingrolfs? Is that what those monsters were?" Lucy looked puzzled, she'd never heard of such a creature. "Yes Mingrolfs were something the White Queen started to breed, right before the battle. They were released in this forest and grew up here. None of that is important right now, you're hurt and I don't have the strength to take you far, I have to think what to do." Lucy saw something flicker behind him, and knew what they had to do. "Mr. Tu- er, Tumnus, I think I have an idea, but I don't know how well this will work." "Anything is better than nothing" he said. She pointed to the lamp post behind him, and he limped his way towards it, not knowing what to expect.
