A/N: Here's the next chap! sorry it's quite short haha

Chapter 25: Storms and Horns

Edmund's POV

A moment of silence passed.

Then another.

Then suddenly…

"WHAT?!"

I winced at Ella's sharp, piercing yell.

Bewilderment, confusion, shock, panic and fear was etched on her face in one horrific look. I guess I must have looked like that as well, because I was having the same feelings.

Peter looked worriedly at Ella and nodded.

"It says right here." said Peter pointing to the book that lay before him."Only Jadin and Jadis possess the special powers which are needed to control those creatures."

"It makes sense…"

I turned to Lucy who looked like she was putting a puzzle together in her head.

"Creatures as dark as those would naturally only be controlled by beings equally dark."

I glanced back at Ella who was chewing on her lip, staring at the ground in worry.

"I…I don't get it. I mean…they're both dead! They've...they've been dead for centuries!" I exclaimed.

"I don't know. It's all very confusing to me too. But…all that is certain for now is that…they're back." Peter mumbled, furrowing his brows in deep thought- probably as to try to make sense of everything.

"Wait…so then…what do Craig and C-Camilla have to do with any of this?"

It was the first time Lorenzo actually spoke up all the while; he was still leaning against the window sill, his arms folded and his brows furrowed.

"They were probably followers of Jadis and Jadin." Lucy answered with a small frown on her face.

"What are we going to do?" Ella whispered, hugging her stomach slightly.

Oh gosh…the baby…

How on earth were we supposed to welcome a baby into the world with all this crazy nonsense going on?!

If Jadis and Jadin are really back…then…what if they come after our child?

No.

Never in a million years would I ever let anyone, especially those two monsters, harm my family.

"Trumpkin, go and tell the crew to hurry the preparations for our departure. We need to leave as soon as possible." Peter ordered sternly.

Trumpkin gave a swift nod before jogging out of the room.

"Ed…"

I turned to Ella who was looking at me with anxiety in those deep blue eyes. She clutched my hand and gulped.

"If they're really back…then…Ed, our baby? What if I can't protect our baby? What if I end up…"

"Ella," I cut her short, squeezing her hand and looking deep into her eyes. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you or our baby, okay? We're going toget through this, I promise."

"But, what if.."

"No more what if's. We defeated them once, we can do it again." I turned to Peter, Lucy and Lorenzo and looked at each of them pointedly.

"We all can, together."

Peter and Lucy both smiled back and nodded in agreement. Lorenzo, however, just turned back to the downpour outside the window and sighed before speaking four words which fit the situation so well.

"Storm's just getting worse."

Caspian's POV

When I finally regained consciousness and managed to open my eyes, I was only greeted with more darkness. In fact, it was so dark that I was not even sure if my eyes were really open or not.

My whole body was numb, and my head was throbbing. I tried to move but realized I was sitting on a chair with my arms tied behind me and my feet chained. No amount of struggling helped.

Suddenly, I heard a creaking sound and some light flooded into room. I looked in its direction to find a door being opened and a figure stepping in.

"Ah, nice to see you're awake!"

I growled at the monsterbefore me as he smirked andwalked in, his hands clasped behind his back.

"Enjoying your stay so far, Caspian?" He asked cheekily.

"Oh yes actually. You're very hospitable." I answered sarcastically, rolling my eyes.

"Oooh, someone's in a bad mood." He chuckled.

Ok, enough funny games…

"Where's Susan?" I snapped, glaring at him intensely.

"And what makes you think you are in any position to demand answers from me?" Craig countered, cocking an eyebrow.

"Where is she?" I hissed through clenched teeth.

I swear…if he hurt her…

"Let's just say…she's…asleep."

I could feel my temper rise.

"What did you do to her?!" I yelled. I tried to break from my restraints even though I knew it was hopeless. I didn't care; I wanted to do was snap his neck.

"I just…gave her the punishment she deserved. It's not my fault she couldn't handle it and passed out." He muttered in disinterest.

"You slimy, sick, son of a-"

"Whoa, language, mister! My, some King you are…"

"What do you want? Why are you doing this?" I shouted, my breathing becoming heavier by the moment as rage filled me to the max.

Suddenly, Craig slammed his hands onto the arm rests on either side of me and leaned down low, his face level to mine as he peered into my eyes.

"You want to know why, Little King?" He whispered, squinting slightly.

I tried to draw my head back a bit, his close proximity highly uncomfortable, but he didn't move an inch.

"It's because of you."

My eyes widened and he smirked at my perplexed expression.

"You think that horn you blew all that time back, only called back the Kings and Queens from the Golden Age?" He murmured, staring at me fiercely.

I averted my gaze to the ground as I tried to process his words and their meaning.

"That horn didn't just summon those little brats you know…it also called back the true King and Queen of Narnia…the eternal rulers…"

At this point in time, I really had no idea what he was talking about.

True King and Queen?

The Pevensie's would always be the true kings and queens…

And Aslan would always be the eternal ruler.

Who was he talking about?

Who could he possibly think…

My eyes widened as realization dawned upon me. I could feel my entire body go cold as fear settled into my bones, apprehension and panic filling me. Craig laughed darkly as he watched me finally understand what he was talking about.

"Yes, Caspian. When you blew that horn, you called back Their Majesties, Queen Jadis and King Jadin."
