Chapter 9

"Here drink this" Lucy said offering the girls a small vial.

"What is it?" Madi asked warily.

"It's a cordial to help your wounds" she replied. Taylor took it and took a sip. Madi held on the cordial awhile longer before she took a sip and saw that the cut on her arm was gone.

"I shouldn't have gone down there" Madi said.

"Don't blame yourself for what happened" Lucy said.

"Yeah I mean if you didn't fight back and screamed for help, while I didn't we would've been dead" Taylor said.

"How reassuring" she mumbled. "Why do I have a feeling Caspian and Edmund are mad?"

"I don't think they're mad at you guys. There's no reason for it" Lucy said.

"I just feel guilty" she said. "I'll be in my room." Madi got up from the bed and left the room as Taylor and Lucy watch her leave.

Awhile later, the men came in the room and noticed that one person was missing. "Where did Madi go?" Edmund asked.

"She went back to her room. She feels guilty about what happened?" Lucy replied.

"Why would she think that?" Caspian asked.

"It's only because it was her idea to check out downstairs. We heard a creaking noise and she went to check it out. We only took one look around and we were heading upstairs when the intruder grabbed me and threw me against the wall. Madi started to fight off him or her whoever it was and that's when you guys I assume heard her scream for help" Taylor explained.

"She shouldn't have to blame herself. If she wasn't there, I wouldn't know what would've happened if something worse happened to you" Edmund said.

Taylor raised her eyebrows in shock. Maybe Madi was right she thought to herself. She had the hold back a smile as she saw Edmund almost blushed in embarrassment.

"Let me go talk to her" Caspian said. As he was leaving the room, he heard some bits of the three of them talking.

"Maybe I should stay in here with you."

"Edmund she'll be fine here, she just need to rest" Lucy said.

Caspian left the room and headed down the hall where Madi was staying. He knocked on the door. "Go away Taylor" she said through the door.

"It's not Taylor" he said.

"Caspian?" she asked in confusion as he opened the door. Madi was lying on the bed with her elbows propped up as she looked up and saw him. "Did Taylor send you in here?"

"No I came here on my own accord. I just wanted to see if you're alright" he said.

"I am it's just I wonder why did I even go down there" she admitted.

"Don't blame yourself for what happened" Caspian reasoned, taking a seat next to Madi.

"Taylor said we shouldn't go down there but we did anyways what if it was her that went down there but we went and looked what happened" she said.

"You didn't know this was going to happen. I mean when we heard some commotion and it was you screaming for help, we didn't know what to think" he said.

"I did try to fight back though" she said.

"I know."

"But I don't know why I'm acting like some crazy person" she said. "I'm sorry I'm acting like a crazy person."

"You're not crazy you did what you could" he said, pulling her to his side.

"Who was that guy anyways?" she asked.

"Someone from the island we're going to when we land tomorrow. He somehow mistakenly got on the ship" he replied.

"Who mistakenly gets on a ship?" she asked.

"I don't know but for now he's being held captive until tomorrow" Caspian assured her.

"At least I don't have to see him" Madi mumbled.

"That doesn't make sense" Taylor said to Madi the next morning.

"I know like it's not I mistakenly walk into the men's bathroom at school" Madi said.

"How is that relevant?" Taylor asked.

"Like a girl walks into the guy's bathroom freaks out and runs away? Well in this case, some random guy walks into a ship and doesn't leave but attacks us" Madi explained.

"It made only 50% sense" Taylor said.

"I'm just saying."

"Sometimes there are moments like these I wonder how your brain works" she mumbled.

"You love me and you know it" Madi said with a cheeky grin.

"Yeah, yeah" Taylor said and both girls started to laugh. They saw the men coming up from the ship and were on the deck and noticed the girls. Madi saw Edmund making his way over towards where they are.

"Hottie ten o'clock" Madi muttered to Taylor. She rolled her eyes as he approached them.

"Ladies, hope you're doing well this morning. Taylor how's your head?" he asked.

"It's fine thanks" she said.

"Do you mind if I speak to you alone?" he asked Madi. Madi looked at him in shock and turned towards her friend, which she nodded for her to go. Madi and Edmund walked away from Taylor and made it up towards near the steerer of the ship.

"Whatever you have to say just say it. I know what we did was stupid but I swear we had no idea he was going to be down there. We only went to check out what the noise was before-"

"Madi, calm down, all I wanted to say was thank you" he said.

"I know that but…say what?" she said.

"For saving Taylor's life and for trying to defend the ship as best as you can" Edmund said.

"Oh" she said, feeling like an idiot. "Sorry I thought, well never mind."

"If you think I was mad, I was a little for the stupidity but from what I heard from Taylor that if you weren't there, something worse would've happened" Edmund said.

"You do care about Taylor do you?" Madi asked.

"What? Um, I do but not like that I, uh" he stammered as Madi held back a laugh.

"I wasn't born yesterday. I see the way you look at her and I don't think it's a bad thing" she said.

"You don't?"

"Nope. If you have true feelings for her and I'm sure deep down you do, act on it before we go back home once this adventure is over" she said but she didn't notice the look on his face when she mentioned the last part of her sentence.

"I don't know" he said.

"I'll tell you this. If you do have feelings for her and for some god known reason you hurt her, I won't hesitate to hurt you, king or not" she said.

"Don't worry. I promise that I would never hurt Taylor" Edmund said with determination.

"Good" she said with a smile. She excused herself and she heard Edmund followed her down to the poop deck.

Madi can see the ship heading into the direction of an island now far from where they were.

"What place is that?" she asked.

"From what Lucy was telling me we're going there for supplies but I forget what the island is called" Taylor replied.

"Something's telling we're definite in for an adventure" Madi said as she walked down towards the bottom of the ship. She went down towards her room and quickly changed out of the clothes from before into a dark blue tunic with dark brown pants and a pair of black boots. She put her sword through a loop and wrapped it around her waist.

She stared at the corset that was lying on the bed. No way in hell I'm wearing that thing she thought to herself. She started to emerge from her room when she heard someone yell, "Land Ho!"

Madi made her way up on to the upper deck where she saw that the ship was getting closer to land and it docked.

"Where are we?" she asked.

"We're at Terebinthia Island" Lucy replied.

"How original" Madi said sarcastically. "And we're supposed to get supplies here?"

"I guess" she said. "I know that for a fact and their bringing the stowaway to them as their prisoner."

She nodded as Taylor came to join them. The ship landed beside the dock and we waited until the crew was bringing up the stowaway first and then we were supposed to go after. Madi looked up and saw two crewmen bring up a man who looked older than her and Taylor. He had dark brown/light grey hair and a beard that looked like it was going to be long.

They walked past the girls which Madi and Taylor got chills when he gave the girls an evil look. It didn't go unnoticed to Caspian and Edmund who noticed.

"Don't worry he's going back to his prison" Caspian said. "Come on we need to make it to the palace over there."

"Wait we're going?" Taylor asked.

"Of course what did you expect to do, wait around here until we get back?" Edmund asked.

"That was the original plan" Madi said as they followed them down the ramp from the ship.

A/n: Okay so now the girls are on their first adventure! Will it go good or bad? At least some adventure is in play.

Now I got another story on the works now. I know how can I keep up? However it'll have an Edmund/OC pairing to it, something that I'm trying different. Don't worry I will never abandon this story and not to mention the idea would NOT leave my brain.

You know what to do! Thanks for your patience and support so far! It's only the beginning and who will have to remain in Narnia forever that answer will be revealed soon but not now.
