Chapter Four

Attack

~*Audi's pov*~

We sat in Aslan's How as dad and the others were talking about the Telmarines. Mum was rubbing my head just like she used to when I was little. Oh how I missed her so much. And dad I have always been a daddy's girl no matter if he is young again. He will always be my dad.

"It's only a matter of time. Miraz's men and war machines are on their way. That means the same men aren't protecting it's castle," he said.

"What do you suppose we do your majesty?" Reep asked.

"We need to..."

"We must..." dad and Caspian started speaking at the same time. The tension between the two felt like fog that could be cut with a blunt knife. I looked at mum who sighed and shook her head. They looked at each other and dad's glaring only intensified at Caspian.

"Is dad always like that?" I whispered to h34. She nodded her head and whispered back.

"What about Caspian?" I nodded even though I have only known him a few days now. "This is going to be interesting." She said causing me to nod. Caspian relented under dad's glare as he continued.

"Our only hope is to strike them before they strike us." dad explained looking around at all of us. Liam stepped up to dad and nodded.

"I agree with father. We take them by surprise," he said.

"That is crazy. No one's ever taken the castle," Caspian argued against dad's suggestion.

"There's always a first time," dad stated.

"We'll have the element of surprise like Prince Liam suggested," Trumpkin put in his contribution. So now it's dad, Liam and Trumpkin for the plan of attack on the castle.

"We have the advantage here," Caspian insisted on staying where we are and take up arms and fight here. Aunt Susan went up to stand beside him her weapons still on her back.

"If we dig in, we could probably hold them off indefinitely," she said siding with him. Dad looked at his sister then at mum for her words when Truff interrupted.

"I for one feel safer underground." Dad turned his attention back to Caspian.

"Look I appreciate what you have done here. But this isn't a fortress it's a tomb," he was right this is where Aslan gave his life to save Uncle Edmund.

"Yes and if they're smart the Telmarines would wait and starve us out," Uncle Edmund said. I nodded at his words he was right about that but I am not too sure Telmarines were that smart. Sorry Caspian.

"We could collect nuts!" the squirrel said.

"Yes and throw them at the Telmarines. Shut up!" Reep said at the jumpy little fellow. "I think you know where I stand sire."

Dad looked around and looked at Glenstorm, "if I get your troops in, can you handle the guards?" dad asked him.

"Or die trying my liege," Glenstorm said bowing his head.

"That's what I am worried about," Aunt Lucy spoke up.

"Sorry?" dad looked at his youngest sister with confusion.

"You're all acting as if there are only two options. Dying here or dying there."

"I don't think you actually listening Lu," dad snipped at her.

"No you're not listening. Or have you forgotten who really defeated the White Witch Peter?" she questioned making me sit up as mum stood from her spot.

"She's right Peter. Do not forget that," she said going over to him and placing her hand on his shoulder. He looked at her then at his sister.

"I think we have waited for Aslan long enough." Turning around and started walking away. Mum followed leaving the rest of us here. Turning to Caspian as everyone started to leave the How.

"I am sorry about how dad acted towards you. But he's right this is a tomb," I said looking down at the floor. I went to turn to leave when he caught my arm.

"Audrey I have a favor to ask of you." I looked at him as he let go.

"What is it?"

"Stay here with Queen Lucy. I know you are a strong fighter but I have a feeling that something might not go right. And I need someone to come up with a strategy if something were to happen." Looking at him I saw concern in his chocolate brown eyes. I didn't know what to say.

"I will see what my parents want me to do," I said looking at him and putting my hand on his making him let me go. There was something about him that made my stomach flip but then with the looks he was giving to Aunt Susan that I didn't quite like.

~*Bridget's pov*~

Going after Peter grabbing him by his arm. "Wait Peter!" I yelled. He turned on me and ripped his arm away from me.

"How dare you do that in front of everyone? To me your husband!" he yelled at me. In all these years of being married to him has he never yelled at me. I pulled my arm away from him. Tears of anger flooded my eyes turning around to leave when he grabbed me.

"No let me go Peter!" I yelled trying to get him off. Pulling me into his chest whispering in my ear.

"Bri I am sorry I didn't mean to snap at you." Turning around placing my arms around him. I buried my head in his chest as he put his arms around me. "I am sorry. You are right Lucy is right. But Aslan hasn't come and we need to act now while we still have the chance." I looked at him and nodded.

"I know Peter. And you know that I will always be with you no matter what happens. I love you for better or for worse," I whispered.

"We still have some time before the attack." Taking my hand and leading me to our chambers. Once there we made sure no one followed us. Peter's hands undid the laces leaving my dress to fall to the floor. My undergarments went with the dress as his clothes fell to the floor as well. He smiled capturing my lips with his. He gently pushed me to the makeshift bed kissing my collar-bone. His calloused hands slid down my sides as my hands slid up his chest and again feeling his heart beat rapidly.

Smiling knowing that I can make this boy, no man crazy about me. His lips found mine again as we connected into the intimacy of being married. "I love you." We both panted at the same time.

After a while we decided that we should get ready for the night raid. Changing into a different dress of pale green, cutting it so that it was mid-thigh. Taking some pants that were left for Peter I threw them on and my boots. This felt much better than trying to fight in a dress. Finding armor that was just my size and fit like a glove. It was easy to move in and light. Walking out of the How turning to see Lucy and Audrey standing there.

"Why can't I go mum?" she asked me. I saw hurt and anger in her eyes. Kissing her head and looked at Lucy.

"It is your father's wish that you stay here and guard the How," I told her as she nodded. She hugged me.

"Be careful and come back this time," she gave me a half smile and I nodded. Turning around to see Peter and the others waiting for us. Looking at Liam who would also be coming with us. He was old enough being about the same age as Caspian. I sighed not liking that he was coming as well but I nodded and he kissed my cheek.

"Don't worry mum. I will be careful," he said as we went to the gryphons that were taking us to the castle. Taking off and in no time at all we were at the castle. Edmund flew in first and took out a guard on the tower. He signaled us to come in with his torch. Caspian had to take out a guard, as well as Susan. We landed and we followed Caspian to his professor's room. When we got in the man was not there. Caspian went over to a table that held the professor's spectacles. I was the last in with the help of Liam and Trumpkin.

"We have to find him," worry laced in his accented voice.

"We don't have time. You need to get the gate opened," Peter said with authority in his voice.

"You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. And neither would I," Caspian said. Peter looked at me and I nodded.

"I will go with him Peter," I said and he nodded but looked at me with a slight fear in his eyes. "Don't worry we will be on time." He nodded and looked at the others.

"You and I can deal with Miraz," Susan said.

"And I can still get to the gate on time," Caspian replied.

"Alright. Trumpkin, Liam on your way," Peter said as I followed Caspian to find his lost professor.

Going through the winding hallways and secret entrances we made it to the dungeon where a man with white hair and beard was laying on a cell floor tied up. Caspian rushed and found the keys and opened the cell and went to the man. He shook the man up and smiled as he spoke "five more minutes?" I was on lookout for any soldiers to come along.

"What are you doing here?" he asked as Caspian started to unchain his bonds. "I didn't help you to escape just so you could break back in." Caspian helped him to his feet and he saw me and his eyes widen. "You have to get out before Miraz learns you're here. That goes for you to your majesty."

"He's going to learn soon enough," Caspian said handing him his spectacles. "We are giving him your cell." He turned to leave as I started for the door. But the old man stopped him.

"Don't underestimate Miraz as your father did," the man said. I looked back waiting for them both to come.

"Come on you two we haven't go the time!" I hissed getting antsy.

"'What are you talking about?" Caspian questioned.

"I am sorry," he whispered and Caspian burst out of the cell and past me. I quickly followed him. He went straight for a bedroom chamber and opened the door.

"Caspian we are supposed to help Trumpkin and Liam at the gate!" I spat as he crept up on a sleeping coupe. He pulled out his sword and pointed it at the man's neck.

"Thank goodness you're safe," he chuckled. My blood ran cold this man was nothing but evil.

"Get up!" Caspian ordered still with his sword at his uncle's neck. He flung off the blankets and waking up his wife.

"What? Caspian?" she questioned confused.

"Stay where you are," Caspian hissed at her.

"What are you doing?" she asked again. I stayed hidden behind the pillars.

"I think it's obvious my dear. You know many might find this inappropriate behavior."

"That doesn't seem to have stopped you," Caspian bit back.

"But you are not like me are you?" he challanged his nephew. "It's sad. The first time you show any of a back bone. And it's such a waste."

"Put the sword down Caspian. I don't want to do this," his aunt said pointing a crossbow at him. I couldn't stand by any more. Just as I was about to step out Peter and Susan showed up. I pointed my sword as did Peter and Susan pointed her arrow at her.

"We don't want you to either!" Susan said.

"This used to be a private room," Miraz said. I couldn't tell if that was supposed to be a sick joke. I moved closer to Caspian holding my sword out at the woman and Miraz.

"What are you doing? You're supposed to be at the gate house," Peter shouted.

"NO! Tonight for once I want the truth!" Caspian shouted in pure anger. I could see him shake from it. "Did you kill my father?"

"Now we get to it," he said.

"You said that your brother died in his sleep?" his wife questioned.

"That was more or less true," Miraz spoke.

"Caspian this won't make anything better," Susan tried to get him to understand.

"We Telmarines wouldn't have nothing if we had not taken it. Your father knew that as well as anyone." He said with no regret in his eyes.

"How could you?" his wife said putting the crossbow down.

"For the same reason you will pull the trigger. For our son," he said moving into Caspian's sword making him bleed as it pierced his skin.

"Stay right there!" Susan shouted.

"You need to make a choice, dear. Do you want our child to be king? Or to grow up like Caspian here. Fatherless?

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" she yelled pulling the trigger as the arrow flew towards Caspian.

"CASPIAN!" Peter yelled. I just managed to push him out of the way getting hit myself in the back of my left shoulder. Miraz escaped as Peter and Susan rushed over to Caspian and me.

"Are you alright?" he asked worriedly. He pulled out the arrow and tried to look at the wound.

"We don't have time. Let's go!" I yelled between clenched teeth. We got up and ran down the hall. Peter kept going as Caspian went a different way.

"Peter?!" Susan called.

"Our troops are just outside. Come on!" he shouted and we followed him towards the gate. Peter yelled at Edmund who was in the middle of a fight. Taking my sword and slashing at the soldiers that came near us. Ignoring the burning sensation in my left shoulder as I did. I rushed over to Peter as he started turning the gate wheel up.

"Peter it's too late. We have to call it off while we still can," she shouted at her bother.

"No I can still do this!" Peter shouted. I went over to him, "help me!" I started to help him open up the gate as best I could. The other's joined us and we were getting it up faster than just one of us.

"Exactly who are you doing this for?" Susan shouted.

"Stop being so damn annoying sister dear!" I shouted at her catching her off guard. Actually catching all three of them off guard. Soldiers were coming at our backs as we lowered the bridge and brought up the gate. I stopped helping to start fighting off the soldiers as the other three worked on it.

"FOR NARNIA!" Peter yelled. As they started fighting and the Narnian's came over the bridge.

As we were fighting I heard a scream and looked up to see that Ed pushed a man over the edge saving Peter. "ED!" Peter shouted realizing what he had just done. He took off running to get out of the way of the soldier's crossbows.

Slashing, dodging, punching, and kicking these men. There was just too many of them. I noticed Peter running up towards Miraz. Then I saw Trumpkin falling down from such a height. "No!" I shouted fighting to get to my friend. Slashing and slicing at anything that wasn't a Narnian. I reached him just as he closed his eyes. I looked up at Peter wondering what we were going to do.

A soldier cut something off a chain and the gate started closing. I watched a Minotaur get underneath and tried to hold it. But he wouldn't be able to hold it forever. Even though I had no doubt that he was strong the gate was just stronger.

"PULL BACK!" Peter yelled looking around then at me. "We need to retreat now!" Peter came down from the stairs and headed over to me. "Get out of here Bri." I nodded and picked up Trumpkin and started for the gate.

Glenstorm grabbed Susan and placed her on his back. She turned around and yelled for Caspian.

"I'll find him!" Peter yelled.

"Peter! Liam!?" I shouted and he nodded. I was picked up by another centaur as we made it through the gate. I saw Edmund and Liam on the backs of gryphons. Sighing in relief but that relief was short lived. As we looked back at the trapped Narnians that didn't make it through. Peter turned back and looked as Glenstorm's son was trapped and his death just moments away. I felt tears trickle down my face as I held on to Trumpkin's unconscious body.

"Peter the bridge!" Caspian yelled again my fears showing in my eyes as I watched my husband. He made it over the bridge and we left the others unwillingly to head back to the How.
