A/N I have no idea if this makes sense. I wrote it in parts and then just stuck it all together. I hope you like it!
Susan's Point Of View
DLF, our griffins—Temris and Zenna-, and I were coming up to Teribinthia Island, when I remembered something very important. "Um, I forgot to tell you something." I said to all of them.
"And what would that be?" Trumpkin asked, turning towards me.
"Well… we won't be alone on the island." I replied, biting me lip.
"What do you mean?" Asked Zenna, the griffin I was riding.
"When My siblings and I ruled, there were strange creatures that inhabited this island. They were monsters of all sorts. Big and slightly hairy… they were very fast moving and would hide in the tree tops." I explained as we landed on a cliff edge, next to the woods.
"Thank you for filing us in on that! Don't you think that's something you should have mentioned before?" Trumpkin exclaimed angry.
"Sorry… I bet it's fine now." I said ending the conversation. We all stood there for a second. Hearing nothing but birds chirping… Until a branch cracked off to the left. I gulped, and looked to Trumpkin and the others. The bowed their heads slightly, and I pulled an arrow out from the quiver and strung it.
I remembered the layout pretty well. Over thirteen-hundred years ago, my brothers, sister and I all landed on that very cliff, and searched for what was said to be a hidden treasure. About half way through the woods, I remembered our first encounter with the beast of Teribinthia…
"Susan, look out!" Lucy exclaimed as something swung down from the tree tops. Edmund pulled out his sword as Peter ran up to us. We came alone with nothing but our griffins. That's the way we did it. When our adventures were close to home, we went off without any guards.
"What was that thing!" Edmund shouted as it disappeared into the forest.
"I—I don't know…" I replied, looking through the book of treasures. "The map shows it's this way. Oh… I just found the warning. It says 'Beware of the beasts on the Island. Like no other in Narnia, they eat anything that they can kill.'" I finished reading the scripter and looked up at my brothers.
"Well sheesh Susan! That would have been nice to know before we came!" Peter said, frustrated.
"Never forget to read the fine-print." Lucy laughed. We all smiled and continued on…
"It's this way." I said, pointing left.
"Are you sure?" Trumpkin questioned.
"Yes, I am."
"We'll fly above to make sure that you run into no trouble." Temris said, as he and Zenna took flight.
"I hope you're right…" DLF said to me before we lapsed back into silence.
We came to the cavern, having no difficulties along the way. DLF and I pushed the rocks out of the way as we climbed in. The hole was just big enough for us to squeeze.
"Oh goodness, it smells like minotaur droppings in here." Trumpkin cried out, plugging his nose. "You brought a lantern, right?" Trumpkin asked as we stood in the dark.
"No, I brought something better." I clicked Ed's torch on and screamed when I saw what lay ahead.
I hope you all have great New Year!
