"Sure I will, whatever you say."

"Shut up fool! You'll soon find that your tongue will make a loved one pay dearly." He said an evil tone.

I closed my mouth and Seifer seemed pleased.

"Finally, some peace and quiet."

"Why do you want to capture Peter and the rest?" I asked, knowing already I would regret it.

"To make you cooperate, of course. If you don't give me your powers, I'll kill as many as I need to get it."

I quickly stood up even though the thorns dug into my flesh. I ran towards Seifer, though, the vines held me back with their painful thorns. I yelped, but only I seemed to notice it.

"If you even think about hurting any of my family, I swear to Aslan you will regret it!" I growled sinisterly.

"Is that a threat?" He asked teasingly, knowing I couldn't reach him where he stood.

I felt my eyes turn black.

"No . . . it's a promise."

I tried to turn into my centaur morph, but I couldn't. I don't know why my powers weren't working. But then Seifer started to laugh.

"The Elixir my dwarves gave you. It prevents magic being done. In fact it makes your powers dormant unless I'm taking them out of you . . ."

"Then why don't you just do it?"

"Because, it has to be voluntarily given or at reluctantly. I can only get your powers if you say I can. Without your permission it is locked away inside your black hole of a heart."

"That's not true."

"What? That your heart is a black hole? Sure it's true."

"Shut up!" I screamed.

"Jadis was right. You don't love Peter . . ."

"And just as I told her, you may be able to see into my mind, but never my heart."

"Then how do I know it's a black hole?"

"It's not! I love Peter!"

"Give me some proof." Seifer said, snickering.

"I sacrificed myself for him . . ."

"No, that was Edmund." Seifer said laughing.

"No . . . after that, even though I was already badly wounded, I gave my life for Peter. That's how the Witch was killed by Aslan. That was what weakened the Witches power."

"You lie!" Hissed the dragon.

"That was how Aslan came back to life, for sacrificing himself for Ed. I sacrificed myself for Peter. That represents love!"

Seifer thought for a moment and then chuckled.

"Smart girl."

I looked at him and then looked down. I had puddles of blood surrounding me from standing up and pulling against the thorned vines. It didn't start hurting until I saw the blood. I backed towards the wall and sat down carefully.

"Oh Peter, where are you? Come help me." I said aloud.

"I'm not sure that he loves you after what you did to him."

"Shut up! You made Ed kissed me! You framed me!"

Seifer chuckled as I closed my eyes. I put a protective aura around me and my mind to keep Seifer out.

Peter! I'm in a cave in the base of the mountains. If you come don't let anyone see you. If you do, he will capture you and kill . . . all of you.
