The Kidnapping Of A Queen

Chapter 6. A Knight And A Lady Of Narnia

Edmund's POV

I woke up. I felt the sunlight on my face and wished it would go away. I grunted. There was the grunt and the leave me alone attitude Peter was talking about yesterday. Then I remembered I was in the Beruna woods. I got up to wake Lucy up and noticed she wasn't there.

"Lucy!" I screamed "Where are you." Then I remembered more. Last night, in the DEAD of night, Jadis had taken her. Had it been a day. Two days. Or more. Then I heard a scream to my left. It sounded like a little girl. But I knew it wasn't Lucy. So I went to see what I could do to help.

"Brian" the little girl was yelling from the ground. She was gripping her leg crying hard. She looked to be about 9 years old. I ran over to her. She gasped as I approached.

"Your not Brian" she said.

"I know I'm not. I'm Edmund. What's wrong" I asked.

"That snake bit me." she pointed and I saw it. I got as close as I could without danger to see what kind it was. Then I noticed it was a poisonous one. I ripped out my sword and killed it. It was about to strike me and I wasn't going to take the chance of it biting someone else. Then after that was taken care of I walked over to the little girl. I knew I had to get the venom out somehow or this girl would die. I wasn't going to let another one pass away when I could certainly help. I had had to do this for Susan one time so I tried to remember how. Then I did. I started sucking it out. It was the only way. She seemed scared for a minute then she realized what I was doing. Apparently she was just as smart as Lucy when it came to medical things. After I was sure it was all out I stood back. She seemed a little less pale though she said her leg stil felt like it was on fire.

"That's to be expected." I said.

"What" she asked.

"This happened to my older sister Susan once. I had to do the same thing for her. That's how I knew how to do it" I replied.

"Oh" she said "how long will it hurt."

"I don't know" I said "We used Lucy's cordial as soon as we got home." All of a sudden her eyes got wide.

"Your King Edmund" she said.

"Yes" I said chuckling. She just sat there and stared at me for the longest time eyes wide. Then she yawned.

"Go to sleep" I said "Susan slept alot when we got home and I think that's what helped her. So the more sleep the better."

"Ok" she said.

"Are you cold" I asked.

"A little" she said.

"Once again to be expected" I said.

"Your not cold? I'm freezing." she said.

"No. I'm actually pretty warm" I said which wasn't a lie. I gave her my cloak. She went to sleep pretty quick after that. Then I heard someone approaching. My heart nearly stopped. I pulled my sword out. I wasn't going to let this happen again! Then a boy stepped out of the woods. He looked about my age, maybe a little older.

"Stephanie" he said looking at the girl then at me.

"Who are you" he asked putting his right hand on sword hilt. The fact he had a sword made me wonder who he was. He pulled his sword out. "I said who are you!" this time yelling it.

"I don't believe that's any of your business" I replied.

"What are you doing with her" he asked pointing at the girl.

"Once again not your business" I replied. This time he turned red.

"Get away from her" he said attacking me. And the fight was on. He was a great swordsman but I was definitely keeping up with him. Then the girl started stirring. Probably because of all the noise.

"What's going on" she asked.

"Stephanie help me" the boy said.

"Brian" she said excitedly. I stopped fighting.

"You know this man" I asked.

"Yes! He's my brother." she replied excitedly and proudly.

"Oh. Terribly sorry" I said putting my sword up "Nice to meat you I said sticking out my hand. The boy still looked VERY unsure.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"He's King Edmund!" the girl said. His eyes got big. I put my hand down.

"Wait how can you prove it" he asked.

"Prove it" I said defensively "what do I need to prove to YOU! I'm the King." Then I stepped on something. I glanced down and something shined. I gasped. I bent down and held back the lump in my throat. It was Lucy's dagger and cordial.

"Lucy" I whispered feeling a few tears make their way down my cheeks.

"WHAT!" the boy said "are you loosing your mind. Your talking to yourself."

"I HAVE THE RIGHT IF I AM!" I screamed at him standing up and more tears spilling down my cheeks.

"What gives you the right" he asked.

"Jadis" I said quietly.

"What" he said.

"Jadis" I said louder "She's back and...and she has Lucy" I said holding up the dagger and cordial I had just found. He turned pale once he saw what I was holding.

"Queen Lucy's been kidnapped" he asked.

"Yes" I said "And by the worst person one can be kidnapped by." There was a long silence.

"I'm sorry" he said.

"It's alright. I've just got to find her before... before anything worse happens." I said "But her cordial. It can help YOUR sister."

"What" he said shocked "What happened to my sister."

"I was bit by a snake" she said. "A poisonous one too! He got the venom out."

"You did that for her" he asked.

"I did nothing I wouldn't do for my own sisters" I said.

"Either way thank you" he said.

"Your welcome" I said. Then I put a drop of cordial on the snake bite. In a few minutes it was gone and she was up and walking. As it turns out the boy was a knight of Narnia and knew Caspian VERY well. So he took me back to Cair. We walked in the castle and soon I ran into Caspian. He asked me where everyone else was. I told him Peter and Susan were back in England and Lucy was with Jadis. Telling him about Lucy wasn't easy for me. But he promised to help. So we started planning immediately. Jadis would pay for what she was doing to Lucy! I promised myself that.
