Susan rode all night and into the day, frequently looking back to be sure she was not being followed. She took the same path to the How that she originally took with her brothers and sister several days prior. As she approached, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had been riding for hours and knew she couldn't go on much longer.


Peter couldn't believe his ears as a faun came running through the main hall of the How, "It's her! It's Queen Susan! She's coming across the field on horseback!"

All three of the siblings jumped up and began running to the entrance to meet their sister. Her face was weary and her clothes were strange. They embraced tightly and shed tears as they brought her back into the How to get her cleaned up and fed. Professor Cornelius rushed to her and took her hands, "My dear queen! How did you manage to stay alive?"

She bit her lip at the thought of the prince who had gone from being her darkest nightmare to her knight in shining armor, "Caspian...he helped me escape."

The professor clutched his heart, "He...but how? Why?"

Susan held back tears as she relived their last hurried moments together, "He found your journal...he knows everything now...about his father...his mother."

"Oh my stars! What did he do?"

"Two days ago, he left to find the men of the mountains who renounced Miraz as their king. He convinced them to come aid in the fight against the Telmarine troops. When he got back, he found Miraz trying to..." Susan looked down and wiped away a tear, "Miraz tried to attack me, so Caspian killed him..."

The professor rushed forward eagerly, "Where is Caspian now? He should be here!"

Susan looked down, "He stayed behind to give me a chance to escape."

All faces in the room wore expressions of disbelief as Peter spoke up, "Professor...I thought you said that Caspian was corrupted?"

Professor Cornelius smiled knowingly at Susan as he spoke, "It seems a certain queen may have gotten through to him."


Peter, Edmund and Lucy tried to get Susan to rest, but she insisted on standing watch outside of the How with Glenstorm. She stared out over the fields for hours, hoping to see Caspian emerge over the horizon, but her heavy eyes closed before she had the opportunity to see him. She slept leaning against the outer wall of the How, dreaming of Caspian and the fate she left him to.

Susan jerked awake as the faun who had taken Glenstorm's place during the evening yelled out, "Someone approaches!"

Susan squinted against the darkness, seeing a horse trotting forth with a hunched figure on top. As the horse got closer, Susan gasped and rushed forward. Caspian lay hunched over on the horse, blood matting his shirt. She screamed desperately as she took the reigns of the horse, stopping it, "Help me! Get my siblings and the professor! Get him down!"

Glenstorm rushed forward and took Caspian down off of the horse, laying him gently on the ground. Susan didn't even notice the tears flowing from her eyes as she took in the sight of him. She whispered with a trembling voice as she cradled his head in her lap, "Caspian...Caspian please open your eyes."

He did so, slowly blinking them open to look at her. He smiled weakly and shakily reached up to touch her face, "My queen...I...I did not know if I would see you again."

She smiled and touched his hand as it touched her face, "Oh Caspian...you shouldn't have stayed behind!"

He shook his head and caressed her cheek, "I would have done it again knowing it would keep you safe."

Lucy rushed forward with her cordial in hand, "Open your mouth...this will heal you."

Caspian did as told as Lucy gave him his drop of elixir. It didn't take long before he was able to sit up and fully embrace Susan, much to the chagrin of her brothers. Caspian broke the embrace as he looked at the faces around them, "Reinforcements should be here by midday tomorrow...but I am not sure what the Telmarines plan to do now that their king is dead."


As the swirling activity surrounding Caspian's dramatic arrival died down, Peter went looking for his sister. He found her sitting in the main hall of the How, staring up at the stone carving of Aslan.

He sat down next to her and put an arm around her, kissing her forehead, "I thought we'd lost you Sue."

She smiled up at her brother, "For a while, I thought you lost me too."

"What happened to you?" he asked, looking slightly unsure about finding out the answer to his question.

She took a deep breath and shrugged her shoulders, "I was the prisoner of an angry Telmarine...he abused me and frightened me...even tried to have his way with me...but then things got better..."

Peter looked confused, "So you had more than one captor?"

"I think so..." Susan said thoughtfully. She didn't want to tell Peter all that Caspian had done to her while under the influence of his uncle. Both of her brothers would skin the prince alive. When she thought about it, she was telling the whole truth. She considered the person Caspian was when they first met to be a completely different entity from the person Caspian now is. Susan snapped out of her reverie and continued, "Caspian saved me, Peter. We owe him my life."

Peter nodded and gave her a squeeze, "I am so happy you are safe."

She hugged her brother tightly before they were interrupted by Edmund and Lucy, who soon sat down and joined in on the group hug.


Susan didn't know what time it was when she heard someone enter her tent, she just knew it was still dark. She figured it was Lucy coming to her for comfort or reassurance after a bad dream.

"Susan?" Caspian whispered into the dark tent.

She immediately sat up and stuck her hand out, reaching for him, "I am here..."

He took her hand and knelt beside her, "Thank goodness...I thought I may have accidentally stumbled into your brother's tent."

She chuckled softly and squeezed his hand with both of hers, "Caspian, what happened to you when I left?"

"They found his body right after you left and began looking for you, thinking you were the one who killed him, but before the first guards could start after you, I stopped them...the fight started so fast I barely had time to get to the stables before a full group of guards surrounded me. I fought, but they got a few strikes in as you saw."

Susan bit her lip and pulled him closer, "Why did you risk your life for me?"

"Because I couldn't let anything else happen to you Susan...I love you."

Her breath caught in her throat, "But how...why? You've only known me for a few days."

"The first moment I laid eyes on you, I thought you were the most beautiful thing I'd ever laid eyes on...and all of the compassion that you showed to me after I was so horrible to you. I've never known kindness like that. I didn't know kindness like that existed."

Susan blushed, "I just wanted to help you."

He kissed her softly, then whispered, "You did help me my queen..."

He leaned down and kissed her again as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him on top of her. He moaned into her mouth and reached down, pulling up the fabric of her skirts. He gripped onto her thigh and raised her leg around his waist as her hands fumbled with the fastens of his doublet. He moved her hands away and impatiently pulled her upwards, yanking at the ties of her dress, quickly opening it in the front to expose her plump breasts.

He broke the kiss reluctantly and stroked her face with the back of his hand as he stared into her eyes, "Be my queen Susan..."

She felt his hardness pressing against her and bit her lip, "Caspian...Aslan may not allow me to stay here."

Caspian looked fearful and angry at the same time, "No...no you can't leave! I don't know how to be who I am supposed to be without you!"

Susan shushed him and put a finger over his mouth, "You are who you are Caspian...with or without me at your side."

He buried his face in her neck and held her close, "I cannot lose you Susan...you are my only love."

"I promise that no matter what happens to me, you will be alright."

He unlaced his pants and kissed her lips, "Give yourself to me Susan..."

"I've never done this before", she whispered.

He kissed her again, "I promise I will go slowly my love."

She nodded as he reached down, running a finger over her moistening slit. She jumped slightly and moaned, arching her back. He continued caressing her folds until he was satisfied she was wet enough. He positioned the head of his member at her opening and slowly slid inside until he felt her barrier, causing him to stop. He looked into her eyes, "This may hurt a bit."

She nodded, "I am ready."

He pulled out slightly, then pushed in, finally feeling the barrier give way as she yelped in pain. He covered her mouth and kissed her neck, struggling not to completely lose control of his body right then and there.

He took his hand away from her mouth as she gasped, her body trying to get used to the new sensation.

"Are you alright?" he whispered as he looked down at her.

She gave a slight nod as he began to slowly move in and out of her. The feeling was new and foreign to her, but not entirely unpleasant. She moaned softly as his shaft brushed against a particularly sensitive spot within her, causing her body to react positively.

She gripped onto his back and closed her eyes, riding out the waves of pleasure that began washing over her as each stroke passed over the point within her body, bringing her closer and closer to her first climax.

She arched her back and stifled a small cry as an orgasm hit her fast and hard, causing her body to jerk and buck beneath his. He smiled and kept pumping into her at a steady pace. He knew he was only a few short thrusts away from his own orgasm.

Susan panted softly, "Don't cum inside Caspian..."

He pretended he didn't hear her as he increased the speed of his thrusts. He shut his eyes and paused suddenly as he shoved himself deep inside, his orgasm erupting in white hot strands of semen. She weakly attempted to push him off, but abandoned her quest in favor of holding his body close to her as he shuddered from his recent release.

He laid on top of her with his head on her glistening breasts as he stroked her nipple with his thumb ever so gently. His softened member still lay buried inside of her while their legs remained intertwined and entangled.

She gently stroked his hair as she stared up at the ceiling as he laid soft kisses over her chest, "What are you thinking my love?"

She smiled and ran a hand through his locks, "I'm thinking about how beautiful that moment was...and how I do not know what tomorrow brings..."

He nodded, remembering the unfortunate approach of a large group of Telmarine troops who had recently lost their leader. It would either make them extremely angry or destroy their morale...but no matter what, the Narnians and their allies were preparing themselves for the worst.
