A/N: Okay so here's chapter 2: Before you read this, understand that Chapter 3 should be up tonight, so yeah. haha

Please read and review. This chapter isn't very good, but I kind of thought it just needed to be separate from what happens next. Thanks for reading!

………………………………

Keep going! It was all Lucy could think of. Any minute spent resting would only

decrease Tumnus' chance for survival even more.

When she finally reached the castle, she ran through the halls frantically searching for her siblings.

"HELP!" she screamed.

"SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!"

Susan heard Lucy's distant cries and she immediately tried to find where her sister was.

Suddenly she spotted the little girl running down the hall frantically. Blood covered her dress and tears were streaming down her face.

"Lucy!" Susan screamed in panic.

Lucy stopped running and faced her sister. A wave of relief washed over her senses.

Susan ran to her in shock. "Oh Lu! What happened? You're bleeding!"

Lucy shook her head vigorously as Susan began to check her sister's body.

"They-They-They attacked us! I didn't know what to do! We were just taking a walk and they- Oh! Mr. Tumnus!"

Susan placed her hands on Lucy's cheeks.

"Alright, Lucy. You need to slow down, sweetheart." She ordered gently.

Lucy threw her arms around her sister, wailing and sobbing uncontrollably. "He's dying, Susan!" It was all the older queen could get out of her.

She picked Lucy up with some effort and ran to find Peter, fearing the worst for Mr.Tumnus.

When she spotted her brother, he was chatting and laughing with Fox. His face fell when he saw Lucy's state.

"What happened to her?" he cried in horror, taking her into his arms. Susan felt herself becoming teary. "It's not her blood Peter…I think something dreadful has happened to Mr.Tumnus.

Edmund came through the door after hearing all the commotion followed by many of the creatures that had been helping prepare for Christmas.

"Is the queen alright!" A centaur cried, answering his question.

Soon the whole hall was up in a great commotion. Creatures began to roar and chatter.

Lucy suddenly remembered Mr.Tumnus' words before she had left him. You have to be brave' She would never save him unless she stopped her crying and told them about what had happened.

Taking a big breath, she dried her eyes and managed to calm herself.

"Mr. Tumnus is hurt!" she started. "We…We were attacked by wolves not far form here.

Gasps and angry shouts and stamping of hooves could be heard across the hall.

"Please listen!" Lucy yelled over the noise, silencing everyone once more.

"I need someone to help me go back. Please we don't have much time."

All of the creatures nodded in agreement, many of them offering their service.

Afterwards, she ran to her quarters to find the cordial, only to find that it was missing from where she had it last. "I couldn't have left it anywhere else!" She cried in horror.

The poor girl couldn't take it anymore, the sadness, the helplessness…the fact that her last hope of saving Tumnus was now gone. She sank to her knees and hugged them to her chest.

Edmund and the other children came up behind her. The young king's heart saddened to see his little sister in such a state.

"The cordial is missing." she choked . Mr. Beaver came in next. He waddled over to her. "Than the whole castle will search for it, your majesty." he replied, wiping her tears with his paw. Peter ran a hand through his hair. "At any rate, someone needs to find Tumnus and bring him here before its to-" He stopped suddenly not wanting to upset Lucy any further.

He knelt down to look into her eyes. "Lu, Can you remember where he is?" Lucy sniffled and nodded. "We have to hurry Peter." She whimpered.

"Perhaps Phillip, the horse, can take us!" Edmund stated. "He can get us there quick."

Peter nodded. We should all go…just incase there's more of them.

Before they prepared to leave, Peter approached Mrs. Beaver. "If we cannot find the cordial…than we will need to count on your skills as a healer." He said in a hopeful manner.

Mrs. Beaver patted Peter's knee. "Not to worry, your majesty." She replied. "I'll be ready to do whatever is necessary."

The children smiled down at her gratefully. They had remembered her skills with Fox and how she had helped with the wounds of the many creatures in battle.

"Let's go!" Lucy cried, fearing more and more that they would never reach him in time.

Peter embraced the distraught girl and turned to face the castle's door. "Indeed." was all he could say.
