The Lion The Wizard and The Wardrobe
Chapter 4
It was four days later, that Lucy, still sat in that dark dirty cell cut and bruised but still alive.
She still hadn't spoken a word since that first night when Black had demanded for information on her siblings' whereabouts, and Black was getting very impatient.
Lucy sat in the corner of her cell, shivering. The day before Black had decided to take out his frustration out on Lucy and had thrown Lucy across the room and slammed her into the wall a couple time and left her there.
She had no food since supper in England, four days before, Lucy was surprised she had lasted this long.
Lucy hadn't been able to sleep either; anytime she had dozed off, nightmares haunted her dreams.
She didn't know what time it was but she knew that Black would be here soon to ask again about the whereabouts of her brothers and sister.
Lucy was beginning to wonder how much longer she was going to last.
But her thoughts were interrupted when the door of her cell burst open.
Lucy glanced up and saw—
"Aslan!" Lucy gasped.
She tried to go to him but as she tried to stand up all the pain from her beatings returned and she feel back to the ground, wincing in pain.
Aslan slowly walked over to her and licked her face.
"My daughter," he said, "you have been faithful to me and the High King; you shall be rewarded."
He breathed upon her and Lucy found herself getting up, pain temporarily gone, and climbed on the Lion's back.
"We must be quiet child, my presence here is not yet known."
Lucy held on by Aslan's mane as he rushed out of the castle.
Surprisingly they made it out of the castle with out meeting up with any of Blacks guards, and Lucy sighed in relief and finally began to relax as Aslan ran towards the north.
The sun was beginning to set when they reached a large cottage in a clearing in the forest of Lantern Waste.
Lucy saw a boy, about a year older than her from the looks of it, come out of the cottage.
He bowed quickly to Aslan.
"Great Lion, what honor it is that you have come to visit."
Then he noticed Lucy's wounds.
"Dear Lady! You must come inside at once so I may heal your wounds."
He immediately helped Lucy off the Lion's back and help her into the house, with Aslan following quickly behind.
The boy took her to a bedroom upstairs, and as soon asLucy had laid down he began tending to the cuts onher back.
"So what is your name Lady?" he asked as he rinsed out the cloth he was using and then began dabbing at the cuts again.
Lucy smiled and responded softly, "My name is Lucy, what's yours?"
The boy smiled.
"My name is William but you may call me Will."
"Well it is a pleasure to meet you Will."
When Will had finished with cleaning her cuts, he went to go get some paste that he said would help heal the whip injuries on her back faster.
Lucy saw Aslan come to her side and nuzzle her hand.
"Thank you Aslan, for saving me, I mean. Must you leave now?" Lucy asked, already knowing he had to leave.
The Great Lion nodded.
"I must go to the High King and tell him you are safe."
Lucy sighed and nodded, knowing there was no sense in arguing.
"The High King?"
Aslan and Lucy turned, (Lucy somewhat looked up) to see Will standing in the door way with the paste in one hand, with a confused look on his face.
"But him and the others disappeared years ago."
Lucy laughed which soon turned into a light cough.
"But the four Kings and Queens have returned," she said quietly, "You have already met one of them."
There was a moments paused before Will gasped.
"So you are..."
Lucy nodded. "Yes I am Queen Lucy, youngest sister of The High King Peter."
Will bowed, and Lucy laughed.
"Don't bow, please, and just call me Lucy."
Will stood up and smiled.
"As you wish, Lady."
As Will began to put the paste on Lucy's back, neither of them noticed that Aslan had left.
Meanwhile Peter was pacing around Tumnus' living room worried sick about Lucy.
Peter would never admit it but because Lucy was the youngest, Peter was very protective of her.
Edmund, Susan (who had a bandage around her shoulder), and Tumnus watched Peter pace around the room.
They were all very worried about Lucy, but now they were beginning to worry about Peter as well.
He hadn't eaten or slept that much over the last four days.
Peter was beginning to pale and had dark bags under his eyes.
"Peter, you must eat something. We will figure out a way to get Lucy back."
Susan said quietly hoping that her brother would listen and eat something.
But Peter continued to pace around, as if he hadn't heard Susan speak at all.
It seemed hours later, just after the sun had set that Susan, Edmund and Tumnus were eating dinner (Peter was still pacing) when there was a knock on the front door.
All fours heads snapped up.
"Quick you three! Down into the basement with you." Tumnus whispered.
After Tumnus was sure they were down in the basement, he went and opened the door.
