Oreius showed me my tent. It was pretty big for only one person. What was even batter is that is was right next to some trees and a large creek. Peter's tent was not to far from mine and Susan and Lucy's were close to his. We were all very close to each other.
"These are some clothing for you." Oreius said handing me a beautiful maroon colored dress with a black cloak. The dress came with a thick, leather and black belt and black, leather sandals to match.
"Thank you." I said as he walked out of my tent.
I went to a corner of my tent and began changing into my dress. I put on my belt, it was almost too big, and put on the matching sandals. I went to my huge mirror and looked at myself. I just needed to brush my blonde hair. I took it out of its ponytail and brushed it. Then I took the top half of my hair and braided it. I stepped out of my tent.
"Rachel! You look beautiful!" Lucy declared.
"Thank you." I said quietly.
Lucy had on a blue dress with a red belt. She looked adorable. It made her look a lot like Susan.
"You look pretty too!" I said smiling.
"So . . . . . are you and Peter together yet?" She asked teasingly.
I bent over and put my hands in the warm water of the creek and splashed Lucy.
"Ah!" She gasped, and then she splashed me.
"Oh!" I said laughing.
"Ha ha!" She laughed in triumph.
Finally with the front of our dressed damp I went to the two towels that were hanging up on a clothes line between two trees. I pulled one off, when suddenly Maugrim jumped out at me. I screamed as well as Lucy.
"Long time, no see, New Witch. Oh, and please don't try to run. We're tired." He said as he stepped towards me.
"And we prefer to kill you quickly." Said another wolf that was flanking me.
I looked over at my horn that was hanging on the branch of the tree. I threw the towel in Maugrim's face. I ran to my horn and blew in it. It made a low, thick wail. I blew it two more times.
"Lucy, get up in the tree!" I yelled.
"Smart girl." Laughed Maugrim.
I was walking towards the tree, when the other wolf that was flanking me, got between the tree and me. He blocked my only escape, and blocked me from Lucy. I backed up as Maugrim walked closer.
"Come on . . . . just let me kill you quickly while I'm still in the mood." He growled.
I looked at his neck and saw dried blood still matted his fur. I looked around for help, but I saw no one. Maugrim continued to walk closer. Maugrim crouched and pounced on me and I knew I didn't have enough time to morph. He bit down on my arm and sliced it open with his sharp fangs.
"Ahh!" I screamed
"Rachel!" Lucy screamed.
"Ha! Looks like you're completely helpless in your human form." Maugrim chuckled.
"Get back!" I heard someone yell.
"Help Rachel!" Lucy screamed.
I took my eyes off of Maugrim and saw Peter running towards me, and pulling out his sword. He jumped between Maugrim and me.
"Come on! We both know you haven't got it in you." Maugrim said nodding towards me. Peter turned and looked at me.
Peter . . . . don't listen to him. I spoke softly in his head.
Peter turned back around to face Maugrim. He and the other wolf began to circle us. They both were snarling and growled at us. Maugrim's partner was about to lunge and attack me, but Aslan came out of no where and knocked the wolf down and held him there. Oreius was about to attack Maugrim . . .
"No! Stay your weapons. This is Peter's battle." Aslan said.
I stepped back to give Peter some room.
"You may think you're King, and you may think she loves you," He said nodding in my direction, "But you're going to die right in front of her . . . like a dog!" Suddenly Maugrim jumped onto Peter.
"Peter!" I screamed.
I ran towards him and began to push Maugrim's body off of Peter. Lucy jumped down from the tree and began to help me. We moved the heavy wolf off of Peter. He sat straight up and looked around. Then his eyes fell upon me. I hugged him as Lucy did the same. Aslan let the other wolf go.
"After him. He'll lead you to Edmund." He said to Oreius.
Oreius took off after the wolf followed by three fauns and a jaguar.
"Peter. Clean your sword." Aslan said.
