Susan, Edmund and Lucy were still in the lounge waiting for Peter to come back so they could talk. After about five minutes of waiting Peter came into the room and sat next to Susan on the sofa. "what are we going to do then?" Lucy asked, breaking the silence between them "well I think that we should find Rodrick and lock him in the dungeons" Peter said "yeah, but where will we find him?" Edmund asked "I am not sure" Susan replied "well we will just have to search for him, we all know what he looks like so when we see him we will inform the nearest guards and they can take him down to the dungeons" Peter said "yeah, but until we find him I think that we shouldn't let Maddie go anywhere alone just to make sure nothing happens" Edmund said

"yeah I agree" Lucy said and everyone else nodded "it's getting late we should get to bed" Susan said, being the responsible one that she is. Everyone nodded and all walked to their rooms determined on finding Rodrick tomorrow.

It was morning and Maddie woke up still a little sore though. She lay in bed for a while since she just wanted to stay there forever but she knew that she had to get up. She sighed and got out of bed and went to her bathroom.

She decided to have a quick shower to try and see if it would help any of her injuries get a little cleaner. So she hoped in the shower, cleaned herself and got out feeling very refreshed. She dried herself off and put her baby pink robe on.

She went over to her closet and chose what she was going to wear. She chose this dress and of course she put her white converse on. She went to go and brush her teeth then did her hair into this.

She was looking in the mirror and putting new bandages on her arms, stomach and back when there was a knock at the door "come in" Maddie said and Lucy and Susan walked in. "hi Maddie do you need some help?" Susan asked "yes please, I can't reach my back" Maddie answered and Susan and Lucy came over and grabbed the bandages off of Maddie and started to put them on her back and Maddie hissed in pain.

Once they were done they put the extra bandages back in the cupboard "thank you" Maddie said "no problem" Lucy said and they all hugged but they were careful of Maddies injuries. They broke apart the hug then there was a knock at the door. "come in" Lucy said and Peter and Edmund stepped inside and closed the door behind them and then walked up to the girls.

"hey, how are you Maddie?" Peter asked "I am fine" Maddie said, even though she was still in a little pain and every one could tell but Maddie tried to cover it up with a smile. "so if anyone sees Rodrick tell the nearest guard and they will take him down to the dungeons okay" Edmund said "okay" the rest of them said and then they all went out of the door and started walking down the hallways.

Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy were a bit behind Maddie as they were trying to think of a plan but didn't want Maddie involved in it in case she got hurt again. Then they stopped and Peter said "Maddie we just need to get something we will meet you in the dining room" "okay" Maddie said and she carried on walking and the others went into the nearest private room.

While Maddie was walking Thomas spotted her and went to walk next to her "hi" Maddie said when she saw Thomas and smiled but Thomas just rolled his eyes and looked angry. Then he pushed Maddie into the wall really hard and she hit her arm, hip and head off the wall and now she had a cut just above her right eye that was bleeding pretty badly and her arm was in more pain.

Just before Maddie was going to scream out in pain Thomas pinned her against the wall and put his hand over her mouth "don't speak" He said in a deep angry voice and Maddie was actually frightened of him so she just nodded and tears started to fall down her face "I just wanted you to know that I absolutely hate you, I know that Rodrick hurt you because he is my brother" Thomas said and Maddie was very shocked at that and that made her cry a bit more "me and him planned this we planned that I would be your boyfriend and he would hurt you but you had to ruin it and now everyone is searching for my brother and I am going to make you pay" Thomas said.

Then he got a little dagger out of his pocket and made a huge cut on Maddie stomach which was bleeding badly along with her head and Maddie couldn't help it so she screamed out in pain and Thomas said "I told you to be quiet, bitch" then he pushed her to the floor and kicked her sides, back and stomach a few times then picked her up by her hair and slapped her across her face then kept punching her in the stomach until…

Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy were talking to each other when they heard a scream and they quickly stopped talking "did that sound like Maddie to you guys?" Lucy said and as soon and she said that Peter and Edmund raced to the door and down the hallways with Susan and Lucy just behind them.

When they turned the corner they saw that someone was holding a girl by her hair and punching her in the stomach then they realized that that girl was Maddie and the boy was Thomas.

Peter and Edmund quickly ran to Thomas and pushed him off Maddie and pinned him to the ground while Maddie tried to stay up but was very hard since she was starting to lose consciousness and before she fell to the ground Susan ran over and caught her and said "Maddie please stay awake. Please" her and Lucy kept trying to keep her awake and Maddie was hard as well but she found very difficult with all of the pain.

Peter had Thomas pinned down and punching him in the face while Edmund shouted "guards!" and then about five guards came running around the corner and were shocked to see what was happening "take him to the dungeons" Edmund said and pulled his furious brother off of Thomas and the guards grabbed him and took him away.

Peter and Edmund quickly rushed off to Susan, Lucy and Maddie and they knelt down next to Maddie who was on the floor in Susan's arms "Maddie please stay awake" Edmund said grabbing onto one of her hands "I…. I…." Maddie started and then she passed out "no, no, no" Peter said while shaking her shoulder slightly "peter we have to get her to the medical wing, fast" Susan said and Peter nodded and picked her limp body up then the four of them raced to the medical wing and once they got there Lucy went to go and get a doctor while Peter put her on one of the beds and him, Edmund and Susan sat on some of the chairs around it.

Thank you for reading. Bet you didn't expect that right! Sorry if you liked Thomas but, oh well!
