Chapter 4: Fore-Sight
Peter felt himself trembling as he followed Aslan out of the main hall. He followed Aslan back down the hallway. He didn't dare ask where they were going. Finally Aslan came to a stop outside Peter's chamber.
"We must talk, Peter," said Aslan, "In here."
Peter opened his chamber door and stepped aside to let the lion through, then closed the door and turned to him. There was silence between them.
"Why didn't you come to me when you started having theses visions?" asked Aslan
Peter's face slowly turned from concern to confusion, "Visions? I thought they were only dreams. Just nightmares."
"No, my dear boy," said Aslan. He began to pace again. "You have the gift of fore-sight. You can see specific things you to want to see. You could look at how Narnia will be in 100 years if you wanted to."
"But," said Peter, "I don't want to see my brother and sisters suffering. I don't want to see there deaths."
"I know, Peter. But you may be the only one who can save Susan now. Now, back to my first question. Why didn't you come to me when you started having theses visions?" said Aslan
"I didn't think they were important," said Peter, "I thought they were just nightmares."
"Did you?" asked Aslan. He seemed to be challenging Peter. Challenging his honesty.
"Well," said Peter, hesitating, "It was only recently I started thinking something was wrong. Really I knew that I should have told someone."
Aslan continued to look at the High King, saying nothing.
"I know that I'm a disappointment. I'm supposed to be High King and I can't even look after my own family," he looked up at the lion, "I'm sorry Aslan. This is entirely my fault, if I'd come to you earlier this would have never happened…"
"No, Peter," said the lion softly, "We have both been fools. I mis-judged the Witch and now placed your sister in grave danger. Now, no more talk of faults. Tell me about these visions."
Peter sighed. He explained to Aslan about Edmund's dead body and Lucy with her broken arm. Then about Susan and the mysterious figure.
"This figure," said Aslan, "Explain it to me."
Peter told Aslan that the figure looked tall and well built and they knew how to use a knife. He said that it was like the shadow of the person.
"That could be anyone," said Aslan, "Could you see any of the surroundings around Susan or this figure?"
Peter thought and said, "I can't remember."
"Alright, sit down and relax. Try and clear your mind, smooth your thoughts," said Aslan
Peter obeyed and when he was fully relaxed, Aslan said in a low voice, "Now concentrate on that image. Try to draw it into your mind's eye. Do you see it?"
Peter sucked in a breath, he was trying to answer Aslan but he couldn't speak. He could barely even hear him. Suddenly the image of Susan and the figure appeared in his mind. Now he knew he couldn't hear or see anything other then what was in his mind.
Demanded, not to lose the image, Peter concentrated everything he had to see on surroundings and to see who the figure was. Finally what seemed like hours, the image started to grow clearer and he could start to hear a sound in his ears.
Sobbing. It was Susan who was sobbing and she was saying something to the figure. He tried to hear. To catch her words. He contracted his hardest and before he knew what happened he saw a blinding flash of light.
Suddenly he was no longer in his chamber but in what looked like a small dungeon. It was in semi-darkness, there were lit torches along the walls and against the wall sat Susan. He dress was torn and she had cuts and scratches on her neck and arms. She had tear stains on her porcelain cheeks and a bruise on her left cheek.
"…we had a deal, you said you wouldn't hurt them," Susan's voice was thick from crying
"What do you take me for, girl?" said a woman's voice, "of course I lied, and do you really think that I would pass off a chance to get rid of you, your brothers and sister. I am looking forward to killing you all. Especially Peter and Edmund."
"You won't touch them," said Susan looking up at the woman with hate, "Aslan won't let you and never will I."
The woman laughed and slapped Susan's already bruised cheek, "I am Queen of Narnia and someday my son will be High King and there isn't a thing you can do to stop me."
"Peter's High King and you will never be a Queen of Narnia," spat Susan
The woman reached down and grabbed a fist full of Susan's hair. Susan cried out in pain. The woman pulled her to her feet, "When my son rules over Narnia, I will make it my last dying wish to burn you alive. How dare you speak to me with such disrespect!"
"Nothing more then you deserve," Susan managed to say
"Guards," screamed the woman. Two goblins appeared at her side in an instance.
"Take this piece of filth down to the torture chamber and teach her a lesson," said the woman
"What would you have us do your majesty?" asked one of the goblins bowing low
A smile came over the woman's features, "Break her fingers."
Peter saw nothing more. There was another blinding flash and he found himself in his chamber again. He was shaking and gasping for breath. He laid back down on the bed and shut his eyes. Susan's face filled his mind and he felt like he was going to be sick. He swallowed in deep breaths and tried to relax.
"Peter," said a deep voice, next to him. He opened his eyes and felt tears sting them. A lump was forming in his throat, but he swallowed it down. He was exhausted.
"She has Susan," said Peter, "Susan's in a dungeon and the figure is the Witch. She ordered for Susan's fingers to be broken."
Peter looked at the loin, "Aslan we must find her."
"Indeed," said Aslan, "But you can not take an army with you. This is something you must do alone. I will be there shortly but you must take her out of the place she is held prisoner in alone."
"But why alone? Won't Edmund come with me?" asked Peter
The lion shook his great head, "No. I fear these visions of Edmund and Lucy is what will happen if they came with you. They must remain here, where it is safe. Come, we must find where the Witch's new hideout is. I suspect it is somewhere in the western wood. We must ask Edmund for help, as he knows that wood better than any of us. We will see if we can find the entrance."
