Lord Drinian had left me in the study room where I could draw out my idea. My pen rolled downwards as the ship turned and I caught it, placing it back.
"White Witch, meet 21st century technology." I said under my breath. I stood up, hitting my head against the wooden board that Caspian calls a 'ceiling'. A painful hiss came out of my breath as I rub, numbing the pain.
"That's my idea," I said to Drinian as I step out. I handed him the paper and he held it against the sunlight, studying it. It was a neatly detailed shotgun.
"What is it?"
"A shotgun. Bang bang." I mimicked the sound.
"Is it faster than a cannon?" He asked.
"Yep, and if you don't like it, I have other drawings. Of course, mostly are more….advanced. We'll discuss this with Caspian."
"Discuss what?" Caspian asked, coming in.
"Ava had just came up with a brilliant idea." Drinian said. He handed the drawing while explaining as Caspian flipped through each paper, a slow smile spread across his cheeks.
"Ava, you are a mad genius." I did a little bow to go along with it.
"I do try," I said with a small smile. Excusing myself, I went back to my room, spotting the trunk. I got on my knees and opened it. I had packed a lot of stuff here, and shifting through, I found that I also packed my red stilettos. Slowly, I picked it up and held it by the ankle straps.
"Expensive, cute, and dangerous to wear." I murmered. Maybe I should give this to the witch instead I mused. Shaking my head, I placed it back inside the trunk, tuck safely where it belongs. It was days before we finally reached back to Narnia. I was happy but above all, tired. My limbs felt heavy as I trudged up the stairs and to my room.
"I miss you!" I declared running to my bed and jumping on it. Closing my eyes in ecstasy, I miss the feeling of the soft bed. Opening it back up, I found myself in the White Witch's lair. Frowning, I sat up, and glared at her sitting on her throne. The necklace shined brightly on her neck and I did a secret smile in my head.
Getting up, I notice she looked a little more healthier. As if her aging process was reversed. I stood where I was as she got up from her throne and slowly approached me. She wore cream today. It matched her hair, making her skin tone glow.
"What's this I hear about you creating a new weapon to destroy me?" She asked. When I didn't answer, she used her wand to push my chin up so I can meet her eyes.
"Don't make me do the things I have to do to get an answer from you," She hissed. I jerked my chin away and took a step back from her.
"Go ahead. You can't stop the weapon. It's fast and indestructible." Her right hand came upon my head and I screamed as I felt a wave of power going through, sucking all my memory into hers.
"You will tell me." She said, tightening her grip. I let out a scream, falling on my knees as I felt my body drained and my head filled with nothing but horrible death. My hands tried to lift up to stop her but they felt heavy and weak.
"No, no!" I screamed as I felt her tapping into one of my memories.
"Caspian is such a wonderful gentleman. I can see why you love him,"
My body started to shake violently as I grit my teeth, trying to block her but she prevailed, tapping further.
"This still doesn't change how I feel about you Ava," he knelt down taking both of my hands placing small kisses on top.
"Shouldn't you be in your room?" he ask, raising a brow.
"I like here better."
"Smart answer."
"Stop it, please," I cried, feeling tears rushing down my cheeks.
"Having a good time?" Caspian ask. We decided to take a morning bath together. I was on one end of the bathtub and Caspian on the other end. Our legs intertwined beneath the bubbled water. The bathroom is amazing. It could fit probably ten people in here. The bathtub had candles that automatically lit when I step in.
"With you, of course." I replied. I lean against the tub, raising my foot, resting it beside Caspian's shoulder. He gave a kiss on my calf, causing me to giggle.
"Where is it?" The White Witch demanded, letting go of my head. I collapse on the floor, my body quaking with quiet sobs.
"There's nothing more. You took it all." I tried my best to reply but her powers left me speechless. I felt blank. The only memory I had left was my home. Not even Caspian was in there.
"Liar!" She shouted and placed her hand on my head again, leaving me kicking my legs and screaming wildly.
"That's my idea," I said to Drinian as I step out. I handed him the paper and he held it against the sunlight, studying it. It was a neatly detailed shotgun.
"What is it?"
"A shotgun. Bang bang." I mimicked the sound.
Finally, she let go and I was motionless, staring at the ceiling in a daze-like manner. Grim, she walked back to the throne to sit on it.
"A shotgun? What on earth is that?" She said to herself. Spotting me, she raised an eyebrow. "You can leave now." With that, she pointed her wand at me and I saw darkness around me.
