Chapter 2
"Don't move" the man said who was on his horse. He got down and made his way towards me. He was tall but he was probably taller than me. He was wearing weird looking clothes that I've never seen before.
"Why the hell not?" I snapped. I wanted to run but I was still frozen on the ground.
"Because you're leg is cut" he replied.
"What are you-?" I asked, looking down and I could see some blood seeping out of my leg. From the looks of it, it didn't look like a bad cut but it wasn't good either.
I saw the man bending down with a cloth in hand as he tried his best to clean up the wound. I sat still as he tied my wound up tight but not too tight.
"Um, thanks" I said.
"You're welcome, what are you doing out here by yourself" the man asked.
"I was trying to find help and I got lost here" I replied, looking around and seeing the guy lying on the ground dead. "Who was he?"
"No one you should be concern about" he replied. "You shouldn't even be here."
"I could say the same to you" I mumbled. As he was about to say something else, I heard another voice coming towards us.
"What's going on here?" I turned to see a dwarf and a badger coming towards us. "Who is she?"
"I didn't get her name" the man said.
"I'm Lacey who the hell are you three?" I asked.
"I'm Trumpkin need I say more?" the dwarf replied gruffly.
"Now you" the badger scolded. My eyes went wide. No way. Animals talk?
"Y-You talk?" I asked incredously.
"Of course I do. I'm Trufflehunter and that is Captain Drinian of the Dawn Treader" it said. "What are you doing out here?"
"I just asked her that" Drinian said.
"What he just said but mainly I don't know how I got here" I replied. "And if I remember, animals don't talk in California and by the way, Halloween is not for another three months with those clothes."
"What's Halloween?" Trufflehunter asked.
"You don't know?" I asked.
"Where is California anyways?"
"What the hell is going on?" I asked. They didn't know about California?
"Is that from the spare oom?"
"What are you on crack?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.
"Maybe we should take her back to the castle" Trufflehunter suggested.
"Are you mad? Surely Caspian wouldn't want to have a guest at this time" Trumpkin said.
"Maybe it'll do him good after all it's been awhile since the king and queen have left" he said. Trumpkin didn't look too happy from what I can tell.
"Um, I don't mean to interrupt, but who are you talking about?" I asked.
"You're not from around aren't you?"
Isn't it that obvious? I thought to myself but I kept my mouth shut. "I just want to know where I am so I can go home" I replied.
"You're most definitely far away from home" Trufflehunter said.
"I still don't know if it's a good idea for her to come" Trumpkin grumbled.
"I actually agree with Grumpy on this one" I said as Trumpkin gave me a hard look.
I looked back at the three of them. A part of me wanted to run off and try to find my way back. However, I had no idea where I was and I have no idea what to expect. Maybe if I go with them, hopefully I'll be able to get back home and somehow find Dean's surfboard.
"What do you say then, Lacey?"
I took one look at the small group before I sighed. "Just lead the way" I replied.
At this point, I wondered what the hell I am going to get into.
"How long until we reach this castle?" I asked.
"Hopefully we'll make it out by tonight" the badger replied.
"What were you guys doing out here anyways?"
"You're a bunch of questions aren't you?" Trumpkin said.
"What he meant is that we were just passing by from visiting another town when we heard the commotion" Trufflehunter replied.
I looked at them as we continued to walk on. I had no idea where I was and yet here I am following a man, a talking badger may I remind you and a dwarf to god only knows where. I seriously hope they don't turn out to be some band of serial killers and kill me. Yeah, some imagination I have I know.
Note to self, stop watching documentaries about serial killers.
I didn't even know we arrived in a small town and I saw people all over the place. I looked around as we walked through the streets and I could feel eyes on me as we were going through.
"This is it" Trufflehunter said.
"Whoa" I said as I looked up at the castle. The castle was huge. It had towers and it looked like it was just been built recently.
"Just follow us. We need to get you into the infirmary for you leg just in case."
I nodded as I followed them inside the gates of the castle.
"Well it doesn't seem to look like it's serious but I'm glad you came anyways" the nurse said as she was cleaning my cut.
"I'm sure it's not a big deal I mean it's just a cut" I said.
"You never know around here if it wasn't treated right away, you could've gotten ill and it would've been awhile for you to be well" she said.
I didn't know you could get sick from a cut. But then again, back home medicine had become modern. Maybe this place was different.
"Now all I need for you is drink this" she said, handing me a small vial. I took it and looked at with suspicion. I wasn't sure if it was even wise to drink it.
"Will you calm down, I didn't put poison in it" she said, rolling her eyes.
Sure that's what you want me to believe I thought to myself as I sniffed at the tip of the bottle before I took a tiny sip. I felt cherry flavors on my tongue as I drank some of it. I sat on the table as I waited for something to happen. When I looked down at the floor, I saw that my cut was gone and healed.
"How did you do that?" I asked surprisingly.
She chuckled lightly at my reaction. "That's a healing cordial. It heals injuries pretty quickly but it takes a little longer for severe injuries" she replied.
There was a knock on the door down the hall as the nurse got up from her spot. "Excuse me for just a moment" she said as she left the room.
I hopped off the table and looked around the room. What was different that I didn't see machines or anything electronic. From the looks of it, the medicine was seemed to be made by hand.
I'm no doctor or anything but it's just my observation.
I walked around the room, looking at the bottles with weird looking labels on them. I saw books that looked like they were dated back to the Stone Age. I picked up a book and saw that it had old writing on it. I soon started to
"She's resting and she looked better than when she came in" I heard the nurse saying outside.
"I'm anxious to see what she looks like" a voice with an accent said.
"I'm sure she's dying to know who you are your majesty" she said. I heard the door open but didn't look up to see who it was.
"What are you doing?" the nurse asked in a shocked voice. I jumped up and dropped the book and looked up.
I saw the nurse standing there in shock but I noticed a tall man standing next to her. He had dark brown hair that went to his shoulders. He was taller than me that's for sure. He had dark brown eyes that were amazingly gorgeous and not to mention sexy.
Hello gorgeous as I thought to myself as I continued to stare at them.
A/n: So they meet. More of their intro will be in the next chapter.
I'm going to post a picture of what Lacey looks like in my blog. If you want the link, just ask. I'll let you know when that'll become available. I'll also try and attempt to make like a story cover for this story though I've never done it before but you can teach an old dog new tricks, right?
Don't forget to review! I was impressed by the first five reviews that I got and the alerts when I got back from my trip. You guys rock!
Signing out for now,
