Chapter 2

Caspian's POV

Lucy looked stunning, he thought as she smiled at the crew cheering for her. He had missed both of them dearly, but wished so much to see his best friend again. To hear her bell-like laugh fill the air. However, Lucy wasn't 12 anymore. She was 15, accordingly, and had grown more womanly curves. She had golden hair that fell down her back, wide hazel eyes and a face dusted with freckles. Even though during their last visit, he had fancied Susan, he had spent more time with Lucy, rather than her older sister.

After giving Lucy, Edmund and Eustace a tour of the boat, Caspian wanted to introduce them to The Dawn Treader's Captain. With this, Eustace decided with a huff that we was going to go above deck, as he was feeling sick from the waves. The three continued walking down the doors of the ship, stopping at a particular door. With a heavy knock on the Captains' door, it creaked open revealing a middle-aged man with a bald head and a crease between his eyebrows. He wore a white blouse with a brown tunic, a popular outfit around the ship, with a sword strapped to his waist. His eyes widened as he noticed Lucy's and Edmund's presence, and bowed.

"Lucy, Edmund, this is the Captain. Drinian" At this, Drinian gave a brief nod towards Lucy and Edmund, who returned the nod. "Tomorrow, he'll address you on our plans for this voyage" Caspian raised an eyebrow as he noticed Lucy jumping on the balls of her feet slightly.

"We'd be glad to help you with your journey-" Lucy began, but Drinian cut her off as he gave her a confused look. "Help? Why.. with all due respect, but this journey is very dangerous. I wouldn't want her majesty to be in danger" He said simply, his voice low and rough. Caspian knew that Drinian was doubting Lucy because she was female. He heard Edmund wince softly, before looking at Lucy. She was fuming, shooting daggers towards the Captain with her eyes.

She stepped forward, her eyes with fire in them. He has no idea who he's messing with! "Now listen here, sir. Im more than capable to go on a dangerous voyage. Why, I'm trained with a sword myself. I've fought in battles years ago, and-"

"If I may, that was years ago. You could stay in the cabin to be safe" Drinian replied with a stiff nod. Caspian sighed at this, relieved at the thought of keeping Lucy safe, but even he knew better. "Don't worry, Drinian. Lucy is trained with a sword and has fought battles in her time. Don't worry" with this, Caspian heard Drinian huff slightly, but not speaking about the matter again. Caspian felt different towards Lucy. When he looked at her, he'd warm up and feel butterflies in his stomach. Caspian mentally kicked himself. That would be entirely inappropriate. Lucy was a few years younger than him, and he was her best friend. She turned to Caspian, wrinkling her nose. A common sign that she showed when she was annoyed and was trying not to yell. Lucy took a breath, before stepping a step back to stand next to her brother, leaving the discussion at that.. for now.

"Captain, as you were" Caspian nodded with a smile to Drinian, who nodded back and closed the door. "Well. He was rather friendly" Lucy huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. Caspian couldn't help but smile at annoyed Lucy. "You'll get through to him" He said, poking her in her side teasingly, earning a playful giggle from her.

"Come on. I think it's time you two get to bed. Lucy, you can have my cabin. Edmund and I can sleep downstairs with the cargo. And I'm afraid there aren't any female clothes onboard, so you'll just have to wear mine" Caspian stated, placing a hand to the small of Lucy's back, guiding her to his, temporarily, her cabin. He smiled to himself secretly. She'll like her new cabin, he thought. Edmund followed shortly behind.

Pushing the door open, he revealed his room. It was wide, with golden rims along the floorline. With a cabinet to the left wall of the room. The bed was to the right of the room, next to two small windows in the wall of the boat. In the middle of the room, was a long mirror. To the left of the mirror, however, is what Caspian could tell Lucy liked best. Which was a golden carving of The Great Lion. She trailed her fingers along the carving. She's probably wondering about Aslan.. he thought, before walking into the room after her.

"Like it?" He laughed softly as Lucy jumped into his arms, snuggling into the embrace. "Oh. Here-" Caspian said, remembering something. He walked over to the cabinet, pulling out two items. He turned to Edmund and Lucy. Edmund's face lit up, grinning. "My flashlight!" Causing Lucy to laugh lightly.

"My cordial and dagger!" She gasped, grabbing them from Caspian's hands. "Thank you!" The siblings said in unison, laughing once more. "Well, I think it's time we get to bed" Edmund said, stifling a yawn. Caspian softly bent down to Lucy's hight, pressing a warm kiss to her forehead. Her brother walked forward, giving her a hug before walking out of the room, bidding her goodnight.

Lucy's gaze followed her brother, waiting to see if he was out of view. Suddenly, she jumped into his arms again. He laughed as he wrapped his arms around his waist, squeezing her softly. They stayed like that for a for moments, before breaking the silence. "Lu?" He asked against her hair. Lucy lifted her head, her face red.

"Sorry. It's just that... I missed you so much!"

Caspian raised his hand, grazing his thumb against her cheekbone. "I missed you too.." He said in a hushed voice, feeling her face heat up. He let go of her, walking swiftly out of the room. "Goodnight, Lu!" He called.

"Goodnight Caspian." He heard her reply, making him smile.

Lucy's POV

Lucy smiled as she pulled out one of Caspian's drawers from his cupboard, revealing sets of outfits, belonging to Caspian. She swiftly pulled on a pair of brown pants, a white blouse and a reddish-brown tunic. Turning to the mirror, she laughed seeing how long it was on her. Rolling up her sleeves, she undid her hair so that it fell in long golden curls. As she looked over at her reflection, the corners of her mouth dipped down in a slight frown. Even though some may consider Lucy to be pretty, she'd always be overlooked by boys. They'd always be all over her older sister Susan, who was beautiful. Secretly, Lucy was jealous of her sisters looks. She sighed greatly, pushing the thought from her mind before adjusting her tunic. With her clear mind, she ran out of the room with no shoes. Of course, this wasn't a problem for Lucy. Since she was normally bare-foot on ships. Plus, no shoe size would fit her feet.

She dashed from the cabin hallway, climbing above-deck to see the faces of the working crew amongst The Dawn Treader. When she had woken up this morning, she'd completely forgot about her trip to Narnia, but jumped in excitement when she realized that it wasn't a dream. She was actually in Narnia. Aiming for the railing, she spotted Caspian and her brother there, unaware of her presence. Without warning, Lucy leapt to Edmund, wrapping her arms around her waist in a warm embrace. She snuggled against her brothers back, smiling gently as she felt his body shake from laughter.

"'Morning Lu!" Edmund said with a smile, turning around to return her embrace. "Slept well?"

"Oh Edmund! I'm so happy we're back in Narnia!" She said simply, pushing herself away from her brother softly. Even though she was happy to be here, she admittedly felt sad. Lucy knew that this was her last time in Narnia, and didn't know how much longer they'd spend in their home. She also worried for if she would ever remember Narnia. After Peter and Susan weren't to return and they'd gone off to America, Susan never talked of the land. It's as if she forgot it. And if Lucy brought it up, Susan would say to get over it. To move on. Peter still talked of it, but he too had moved on. Accepted his fate. Lucy shook her head mentally, as if not believing what she had thought. Of course she wouldn't forget Narnia, but would Edmund? But she thought over it, turning to Caspian excitedly, jumping into his arms.

"Woah. Easy, there" Caspian chuckled, squeezing her back before letting her go. "We should probably get some food, but Drinian wants to go over our voyage plan with a few crew members. I'd like you to come, though. Maybe we can figure out why you are here".

~x~

Lucy wriggled in her seat, feeling nervous under the glances of the other crew members who sat at the table with her. By the looks of them, it was obvious that they were previously talking about her presence. Drinian had been a bit reluctant to let the two siblings come during the meeting, but Caspian had gotten to him. However, the few other crew members weren't to keen on their presence. Although, Reepicheep was amongst the crew members. He stood on his chair, smiling subtly to Lucy, who gave him a smile back. Caspian was to her left, while Edmund sat to her right. They sat in a medium-sized cabin, above-deck. No interesting details, but the red and gold table which they all sat around in silver lined chairs. She glanced up at Drinian, biting her lip. I still can't believe that he'd be so rude yesterday, She thought to herself, quickly averting the Captain's gaze.

He cleared his throat, gathering their attention. "We have put ourselves on this voyage in order to find some of King Caspians' fathers' closest friends. The Seven Lords of Telmar. They have disappeared and word is that they have fled to the Lone Islands. No one has heard of them since." Drinian stated, trailing off before looking at Caspian.

"You think something has happened to them?" Lucy asked simply, directing the question at Caspian. He opened his mouth to reply, but it was Drinian who answered.

"If so.. it is your Majesties interest and duty to find out"

With this, Lucy frowned, before turning to the rusted map which lay on the table, pinned down at the corners with small rocks. She traced her finger along the map, before finding 'The Lone Islands' and pausing her finger on the mark. Her eyes traveled further east of the islands, cocking her head to the side. Nothing lay on the map to the east of the islands.

"What's east of the islands?" She asked.

"Unfamiliar waters. Urban legends and myths. Stories of sea snakes or worse..." The captain began in a serious tone.

Caspian stopped Drinian before he continued, smiling. "Now now, Drinian. No need to hear of your stories" Lucy gave him a small smile, before speaking herself.

"So where are we headed now?" Lucy now lay her hands in her lap, her thumbs fumbling over another nervously. She was eager to experience danger and excitement. She missed the adrenaline that she would give in a fight.

"Filimath. It has been abandoned for years, but it'll be a great place to look for and find food. The lords might've stopped there on the way of their voyage" Drinian spoke, with the other crew members nodding in agreement. "We should be there within a few days. However on the speed we're making, I'd say we may get their sooner" Lucy's face lit up at his comment and she straightened her back, excited for exploration. Soon, she'd be back on her path. Like during the Golden Days.

"Until then.." Caspian said finally, excusing the captain and crew members, who left with a bow and closed the door tight. Caspian turned to the two expectantly. "Sorry if the crew members are like that. They don't exactly think that Lucy The Valiant belongs on a ship. They're worried for your safety" He says with soft eyes, directing what he'd said towards Lucy, who shrugged in response.

"Don't worry, Lu. You'll show them" Edmund said, patting her on the shoulder softly, with a smile. "Anyways, lets go get some food" He finished, turning on his heel, signaling for the other two to follow.

Caspian's' POV

After breakfast, Lucy had insisted that they found Eustace. Of course, he'd been complaining most of the voyage that they were here. You could hear him from the other side of the boat. However today, he was relativley silent. The trio searched below deck, climbed above-deck to see him sitting on a piece of cargo near the railing, with his head leaning against a pole which was attached to the sail. Edmund and Caspian stayed back a bit, letting Lucy take control. This was one of the qualities Caspian admired about Lucy. Even though she was small, she had the courage of 10 men.

"Are you alright?" She asked the boy, keeping her difference. He whirled around at her voice, his face green from the waves.

"Fine, no thanks to you" He spat bitterly, before huffing as he noticed Caspians' and Edmunds' presence. Edmund smirked. "Found your sealegs?" Edmund asked in a mocking tone, raising a brow as Eustace stood up. "Never lost him. Where are we heading to, anyways? I'd like to get off this floating piece of wood as soon as possible, after you kidnapped me." He directed this at Caspian, who couldn't help but be amused. Lucy and Edmund are related to him? The thought was absurd.

"Kidnap you? Funny. I thought we saved your life" Caspian stated simply, shrugging. "Saved me? You're holding me against my will!" Eustace stomped, before crossing his arms over his chest in a huff. "Besides, you haven't answered the question"

"Demanding git.." Edmund mumbled behind Caspian. Lucy glared at Edmund sharply, silently scolding him for what he had said. Caspian laughed softly, before turning his attention back to the boy, who stood, tapping his foot. "Filimath. A deserted island not too far from here. We should be there in a few days, if not sooner" The boy's jaw dropped at what Caspian had said. "A few days?!"

"If not sooner" Lucy repeated what Caspian had said.

And that's a wrap! :) Sorry if updates might be slow. I thought I'd get this one up sooner, but with family holidays and stuff... it gets a bit busy. I go back to school in a week, so I'll try to write as much as I can before I go. Updates might take longer to punch out during school, especially since it's the start of the year, but I'll do my best!

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! The next chapter is fluffy, so don't worry :)
