Kzers Aslan in the next chap! YAY! And then we get prepared for the big showdown and awesome stuff like that C: Enjoy

"What?" Everyone except Lucy asked in unison.

"We need to find Aslan."

"Lucy, I think it's time to accept that Aslan isn't going to help us." Susan said gently, trying not to send Lucy over the edge.

Lucy rolled her eyes and stomped her foot. "You were the ones who wouldn't go after him! He wanted us to follow him, just like I told you."

"Imaginary lions can't help us now." Trumpkin snapped.

"Well what else should we do? Any ideas?" Silence. "Exactly."

Susan nodded. "Alright."

Caspian and Reepicheep agreed next.

Trumpkin groaned. "Fine!"

Peter nodded slowly. His faith in Aslan was at a dangerously low level but he was willing to try anything. Lucy nodded, the fire back in her eyes. She was the Valiant Queen and she was going to save her kingdom. There was no room for failure.

"Ok, good. I have an idea of where he might be."

"How?"

Lucy shrugged. "I have a feeling."

And it was left at that. Even the dumbest of people knew not to mess with the Valiant Queen when she had her mind set. Plus, she was always the one most connected to Aslan and Narnia.

~XXX~~~--------~~~XXX~

Edmund looked up at the witch, shaking violently. The one who had plagued his nightmares for years, the one he'd always been terrified of, even back in England. She was here, and she once again held him prisoner. But, he took comfort in the fact that he was not a prisoner due to him being a traitor. It was pretty much the only comfort he had at this point. His siblings probably thought he was dead, the witch was here and pretty much controlling an army and Aslan was still nowhere to be found.

The witch laughed viciously. "Edmund, I've missed you."

Fear coursed through his body, numbing him completely. He couldn't move, he couldn't speak, he could only stare into the ice cold eyes of his worst enemy. Jadis grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and lifted him up. Edmund's feet swung uselessly as his head flooded with memories of his past imprisonment. She'd lifted him up like this before, but he wouldn't betray anyone this time. The little comforts were the things keeping him alive right now.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Lucy smiled up at the centaur who was reaching out a hand to her. She grabbed it and swung onto his back. In total there were about 20 Narnians who had stayed with them, and thankfully most of them were centaurs. Since centaurs were the fastest besides the mice it was great. They all decided to look for Aslan together because they had such small numbers. Only Reepicheep and another mouse weren't with them, but they were going to join them later. They were sent on a mission to try and get into the Telmarine camp just to see what everything was like there.

Susan looked at her companions worriedly. All of them were worried and scared. "Is everyone ok?" She asked hesitantly.

The Gentle Queen was back.

^^~~~^^^***~~~^^^^

Reepicheep and his now partner Peepicheek hid for what seemed like the zillionth time. The waited patiently for the few Telmarine soldiers to run by and continued on their way. Reepicheep motioned for Peepicheek to stop.

"Split up."

Peepicheek nodded and went the opposite way. Reepicheep scurried from place to place, constantly hiding. He could sense the witch was near, and he did not like it at all.

Dodge. Scurry. Hide. Scurry. Hide. Scurry. Dodge.

It was a random pattern that started to get on his nerves. Every Telmarine was making his way towards where Reepicheep was heading. But at least he knew where to go. He just followed the running soldiers. Finally! He made it to where everyone was gathered. There were giant crowds of them all gathered around an empty space. Wait, not empty. As the mouse got closer he caught a glimpse of the witch and Miraz. And, as he made it as close as he could, he stifled a gasp. King Edmund!! The young man was tied to a pole in the middle of the space and looked awful. He was bloody, bruised, and his paleness made it seem even worse than he actually was, if that was possible. Plus, he looked like he was about to start hyperventilating. Reepicheep inched closer and watched as everyone quieted down.

"Telmarines! The time has come for you to rule not only Narnia, but everything! I can help you do that! Follow me and we can conquer enemy lands! Unknown lands! We will be all powerful!" The crowd went wild. Telmarines were hungry for power and they could just feel it in their bones that this woman could help them do everything she said. Jadis held up a hand for silence. "But first, it is time to crush Narnia once and for all!!"

Reepicheep squeezed his eyes shut. They didn't stand a chance. Edmund continued to try and loosen the rope around his hands but it was no use. Telmarines tied good knots. Jadis smiled at the cheering Telmarines and walked out of the clearing with Miraz following her like a lost puppy. Most of the soldiers cleared away but some picked up rocks and started throwing them at the young king. Edmund cringed as every small stone hit his sore body. He couldn't stop the tears now, and they fell with intense speed, mixing with the dried and new blood on his face. Reepicheep looked sadly at his king and ran away. He needed to find Peepicheek and then report what he knew. Even if it didn't help things any.

Ok ok, this came from me trying to avoid watching Beverly Hills Chuahua (which failed miserably btw...me avoiding watching it that is) so yeah
