Chapter 8: Continueing On.
"Mr. Tumnus!" Lucy screamed as she ran for the hole.
"Lucy! No!" Peter said grabbing her by the arm.
"Its no use there not going to make it the water is to cold. Even if someone did come back out of there how do we no that its not the black creature. Hurry lets get to the dam and maybe the Beavers can help us." So with tears in her eyes Lucy turned away and followed her brothers and her sister running across the ice.
Just then a furry hand poped out of the water onto the ice gripping for something but the children where to far away to here the calls.
"Mr. Beaver? Mrs. Beaver are you here?" Susan cried.
"Yes Yes come on come in have some tea..were almost ready to go."Mrs. Beaver replied. "Its so lovely to have you back in our home would you like anything?"
"No No thank you" they all answered.
"I had time to tidy up a bit rather than before but lets not linger in the past. We must hurry. But wait weres Mr. Tumnus?" she said.
All the children looked at Lucy and then dropped there heads weaping.
"Something bad hasnt happened has it?" Mr. Beaver asked.
"Im afraid so. Faun Tumnus was being chased by an Evil Creature. He was carring our Friend and his, Professor Digory. When the creature broke the ice and all three fell into the water." Edmund informed.
"Professor Digory? Digory? Is this the same Digory that was there at the order of the Stone Tabel about 200 years ago?" Mr. Beaver asked.
"Yes i beilive it is." Peter answered.
"Goodness, both were my friends Faun Tumnus and Digory the Magicians Nephew. Well this is a rather sad meeting. Wouldnt you say. I guess we'll just have to leave them beh-...behind." Mr. Beaver said with his voice trailing off to listen as the thud of hooves lingered outside the dam.
"Shh, Quite." Mrs. Beaver instructed. Then at that moment the door slammed open and there was Mr. Tumnus holding Professor Digory and then he fell to the Ground.
