As Caspian stood watching, he had wanted to rush in and jump to Susan's defense. After all, what was he supposed to do when another boy put his hands on her and demanded that he kiss her? But, he had realized, he could not just run in and fight the boy. Especially because he wanted to talk to Susan alone before he saw anyone else. It was now beginning to grow dark and as Caspian stood up to follow the Pevensie's who had started to leave, he saw the same boy from earlier in the day, run over to them.
"Susan, I want my kiss now," he said, grabbing Susan, spinning her around and kissing her.
Caspian stood frozen to the spot. Within a few seconds, Susan must have overcome her surprise because she grabbed the boy's arm and twisted it behind his back, forcing him to stop.
"Ow!" shouted the boy in pain. "What did you do that for?"
Susan, who was on the verge of tears, tried to calm herself down. "Never come near me again!" she said fiercely. Then she turned around and ran back to her room in the dormitory.
"Su!" yelled Lucy, running after her.
"You are really going to pay for that," said Peter, taking a step towards Jonathon and clenching his fists.
"Go ahead and go for it then," said Jonathon, who was just trying to aggravate Peter more.
"Come on Pete. He's not worth it," said Edmund.
"I suppose you're right Ed. Come on let's go," said Peter as they walked away.
After everyone had left, Caspian still stood in the same spot he had been in since the first fight had happened.
'Poor Susan,' he thought as he started to walk down the path the Pevensie's had walked down. 'It seems as if she has been as miserable and lonely as I have.' He was just passing an open window when he heard Lucy's voice.
"There, there Susan. Everything will be all right. You'll see," said Lucy.
"No it won't be okay, Lucy. That was just horrible," sobbed Susan.
"Susan, you know that," Lucy started, but Susan cut her off.
"Lucy, please don't start. I know what you are going to say but it just isn't true. I am never going to see him again. I can't go back to Narnia Lucy. Never again. Don't you see? I'm too old."
"You can at least remember him. I know Caspian has to remember you. When you love someone, you can never forget them," said Lucy, getting up and walking through the door that joined the girls' rooms.
"Lucy," Susan said quickly, "goodnight. And thank you."
Lucy just smiled and shut the door behind her. Susan then changed into her nightclothes, turned off her light, and slipped into bed.
