I've made everyone come to their death. I listened to the swords clashing, worried that with each sound, it might be someone getting hurt because of me. I heard a small yelp, I think it was Peter. I felt my stomach lunge at the thought. Reepicheep came running back to me, out of breath.

"King Peter's here! Seifer hit him on his arm or something because he's not blocking correctly!"

"Oh no. He depends on that shield. It's what kept him alive from the Witch . . ." I said as Reepicheep ran out again.

I listened again and waited, there was a silence and I didn't like it. Bad images and thoughts began to run through my mind. I heard a cry that instantly brought me to tears.

"Susan!"

Reepicheep came back, again out of breath.

"The Gentle Queen is dead. She saved King Peter by shooting an arrow at Seifer's sword. Seifer was about to nail King Peter in the head, but she saved him. Unfortunately, the arrow ricocheted off of Seifer's sword and hit a dwarf . . .and for that, an arrow from one of the dark dwarves pierced through her stomach."

I didn't care who saw my tears now. I let them fall freely from my eyes. Susan, basically my sister, is dead. Suddenly I heard two familiar voices.

"Let me go!"

"Hey!"

It was Lucy and Meagan.

"I found them trying to enter that cavern. I think they were attempting to try and free our hostage." Said a voice I didn't recognize.

A sinister laugh cut through the air, a laugh I only knew too well.

"Well now that I have every King and almost all the Queens of Narnia, I think I'm ready to show you my hostage . . ."

"Reepicheep! Hurry! Hide in you hole!" I hissed.

"I'm sorry you majesty, but I'm going to stay here and defend you . . ."

"Your very brave, but I need you to hide and watch so that if anyone wants to know exactly what happens, you will be the innocent witness."

"Alright . . . I'll do it." He said as he quickly scampered into his hole.

Seifer had Peter, Ed, Lucy, and Meagan follow behind him in the same vines I was in, only it was just wrapped around their wrists. Behind them were about 130 dwarves. I didn't realize how many followers he had outside, though, I've never been outside of this cave. Tears ran down my cheeks as everyone passed by me. Seifer pushed them down and attached them to the wall. Only they vines were not loose like mine, they were so tight that just standing still, the vines cut them. Peter winced as his wrists began to bleed.

"Leave them alone! They haven't done anything!" I screamed.

Seifer just ignored me and finishes tying up Meagan. I painfully stood up and walked up to Seifer as close as I could. My arm and legs began to bleed more than they were. I winced in pain, but I was more furious then anything else.

"You let them go! You let them go this instant!" I screamed.

I never scream, and it almost scared me, listening to how loud my voice was. Dwarves had grabbed their ears, as if I had a supersonic scream.

"I'll only let them go if you surrender your powers!"

"You don't understand!" I yelled again.

I was pulling against the vines, making me bleed even more. The tips of my long, wavy blonde hair began to turn crimson from my own blood.

"This is your last warning! Surrender your powers!" He yelled.

"I can't! I can't! You don't understand I—"

"Then I guess we'll just have to do it the hard way."

He took out his sword and cut Peter's vines. He took Peter's crown and threw it to my left, just out of my reach. He grabbed Peter by his hair and forced him to my feet.

"King Peter's life is on the line. What say you?"

Tears turned into waterfalls down my face. Peter grabbed my bloody hand and then kissed me. His beautiful blue eyes captured me as they began to tear up.

"No matter what happens to me, do not give in. Do not give up. I have not given up on you, so don't give up on me . . ."

"Peter . . . I love you."

He kissed me again and then my cheek.

"Thank you for loving me."

Seifer grabbed Peter and dragged him towards the torture room. I cried harder then before, if that was even possible. Seifer literally threw Peter to the floor. He turned around and closed the wooden door with a menacing smile. I looked at Ed, who quickly looked at Meagan. Meagan looked at the floor as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. Lucy . . . oh sweet Lucy, was not afraid to look me straight in the eyes.

"What are you still doing here! Go save Peter!" She screamed at me.

"I still don't have my powers back! T-There's nothing I can do."
