Author's note: Hello everyone! I hope you're enjoying the story so far. I just want you to know that I'm trying my hardest to post as much as I can. Besides that I don't really have much to say. Anyways, on with the story.
Elizabeth's POV
"The Lone Islands" Caspian said "The port of Narrowhaven. Strange, not a Narnian flag in sight."
Drinian walked up to us.
"But the Lone Islands have always been Narnia's" He said "Seems suspicious"
"I say we prepare a landing party" Edmund said "Drinian?"
"Forgive me your Majesty, but the chain of command starts with King Caspian on this ship" Drinian said
"Right" Edmund replied
"We'll use longboats" Caspian said "Drinian, pick some men and come ashore."
"Aye" Drinian replied
"Tavros, man the longboats, furl the sail and prepare to drop anchor" Caspian told Tavros "Onward! The thrill of the unknown lies ahead"
Soon, we were all in a boat and sailing towards the port of Narrowhaven.
"Couldn't this have waited till morning?" Eustace asked
"There is no honor in turning away from adventure, lad" Reepicheep answered
He fell asleep and only woke up once we were all off the boat and on the port.
"Where is everyone?" He asked, not noticing we were in front of him
"Come on, jelly legs" Reepicheep called to him, pulling his hand
"I'm capable of doing it myself!" He said, pulling his hand away and falling
Caspian turned to us.
"And you're certain you're related by blood?" He asked
"Reepicheep, stay here with Drinian's men and secure the place" Caspian said "If we don't return by dawn, send a party"
"Yes, your Majesty" Reepicheep said
We walked around looking at buildings, but everyone seemed to be gone.
"Yeah, looks like nobody's in" Eustace said "Do you think we should head back? Do you want us to come here and guard… something?"
"Ah, yes" I said
"Good idea, cousin" Lucy said
"Very, uh… logical" Edmund commented
"I've got it. I've got it. Don't worry" Eustace said "Uh, I'm ready to go when you are"
We came across a book and we looked at it.
"Who are these people?" Caspian asked "Why have they been crossed out?"
"It looks like some kind of fee" Edmund said
Then, it suddenly hit me.
"Slave traders" I said
"Look out!" Lucy yelled to Eustace, but it was too late
Eustace screamed as a few unknown men picked him up.
"Unless you want to here this one scream like a girl again, I'd say you should drop you're weapons" One of them said
"Like a girl?" Eustace asked
"Now!" The man yelled "Put it down!"
We put our weapons down.
"Put them in irons" One of the men said to the other two
A moment later, we were all handcuffed.
"Come here, you three" He said, pointing at me, Caspian, and Edmund
We walked to him. He looked at Eustace and Lucy, and then back at us. He pushed us towards one of the other men and then walked towards Lucy and Eustace.
"Let's take these two to the market. Send those three to the dungeons" He said
They began pulling us away.
"Get your hands off me!" I yelled "Lucy!"
Lucy tried to run towards me but the man holding her stopped her.
"Lizzie!" She yelled
"Listen to me, you insolent fool!" Caspian yelled "I am your king! You're going to pay for that."
"Actually, someone else is going to pay… for all of you" The man said
"No!" I yelled, as the man holding me dragged me away
"Edmund! Lizzie!" Lucy yelled
"Lucy!" Edmund and I both yelled
I tried to kick the man holding me, but he was too strong and wouldn't let go. He just continued pulling me away. It didn't take long to reach the dungeon. The men holding Caspian and Edmund shoved them in. Then, the man holding me threw me in, causing me to land on my side. Edmund walked over to me and helped me up.
"Are you alright?" He asked
"My side's just a little sore" I said
What I really was worried about was the fact that Lucy and Eustace were going to be sold. Then, there was a sudden voice.
"It's hopeless. You'll never get out" It said
"Who's there?" Caspian asked
"Nobody. Just a voice… in my head" It said
Caspian walked towards where the voice was coming from.
"Lord Bern?" He asked
"Perhaps once, but I'm no longer deserving of that title." Lord Bern said
"Is he one of the seven?" Edmund asked
Lord Bern looked at Caspian.
"Your face… you remind me of a king I once loved well" Lord Bern said
"That man was my father" Caspian told him
Outside we heard yelling. A man and a girl where running after a carriage, trying to get a woman that was inside.
"Stay with daddy!" The woman yelled to the girl "Don't worry, I'll find you!"
"Where are they taking them?" Caspian asked
"Keep watching" Lord Bern said
The carriage was driven into the water and mist appeared. After the mist disappeared again, the carriage was gone too.
"What happened?" Edmund asked
"It's a sacrifice" Lord Bern said
"Where did they go?" I asked
"No one knows." Lord Bern said "The mist was first seen in the east. Reports of fishermen and sailors disappearing out at sea. We lords made a pact, to find the source of the mist, to destroy it. They each set sail… but none came back. You see, if they don't sell slaves… they're likely to be fed to the mist."
"We have to find Lucy… before it's too late" I said
"We need to find a way to open the cell door" Caspian said "If we can get it open, I saw a path with no guards that will lead us to the market."
Edmund looked at me.
"Beth, do you think you still remember how to use your magic?" He asked me
"I… I don't know" I said "But there's only one way to find out"
I looked at my hands and sighed. If something went wrong, I had my cordial with me. I summoned my magic to the palms of my hands and shot them out. It knocked down the cell door.
"Let's go" I said
"Lord Bern, would you like to come with us?" Caspian asked
"No" he replied "I'll be fine"
We followed Caspian and he led us to the room where the men had found us. We grabbed our weapons and on our way to the market, we bumped into Reepicheep, Drinian, and his men. We all went to find Eustace and Lucy.
