Lucy POV

I think I must have startled him a little as he fell backwards over a small bedside table and on to the floor, the look on his face was quite funny so I started to giggle, unfortunately I couldn't stop so it burst out into full pelt laughter, I was rolling around in the bed with tears of laughter streaming from my eyes.

After what seemed like an eternity I managed to stop laughing and compose myself, he looked a little annoyed so I tried to keep a straight face but giggled a little, he walked out of the room in a huff and I got myself dressed in some clothing that Emily left out for me, they were a little shorter on the hem than I was used to but I have to blend in and adapt so I shrugged and accepted it, I slipped on a pair of flat open shoes with a bow on the top and walked downstairs after brushing my hair into submission.


Paul was making the same face that Edmund makes when he is annoyed, which bought tears to my eyes in remembering that I would most likely not see my parents or my siblings again. I sat down in a window seat with my hands in my lap and legs curled underneath me, and looked out of the window at the rain which was echoing my emotions. I felt a few small tears dare to escape my eyes as I looked out of the window, she could not help but wish that Aslan would find a reason to bring her siblings to see her even if in a dream.

Just like that ones that she used to have of Narnia . A small smile graced her lips at the thought of the warm, crisp air, whipping through her hair with the wind. She could still feel the sun on her face as she settled on her back in the field covered in lilies just outside of Cair Paravel, her favourite spot. She missed more the land's beauty, but also the friends that she had made. Reepicheep, her stout little mouse friend, although he looked small and frail, he was fierce in his faith and in battle, just like herself. Her thoughts wandered to Caspian, the handsome young prince herself and her siblings had met upon there second arrival in Narnia, he was actually the one who had brought them there. She had been but 12 the last time she saw him, not yet a teenager but almost there, and he being 17 at the time.

Although they were five years apart in age, they had a rare connection and were fast friends. Now, three years had passed, Lucy was 15, and several inches taller and with wavy auburn hair that came down to her waist with soft curls at the bottom. She had big, hazel eyes with long eyelashes that swept over milky white skin as she slept. Her cheeks and nose were dusted with freckles. Lucy knew she was not ugly, but she felt rather plain looking, especially when compared to her sister.

Lucy was most commonly overlooked my boys when in the presence of Susan, and she could not help but feel jealous as she watched Caspian drool over her during her last visit to Narnia. She didn't have a crush on Caspian, he was simply her best friend, but she did wish that she could feel the pride in being noticed by a boy like Susan. She wished she would see Caspian soon. He was one among many friends that Lucy had met during her adventures in Narnia. Her heart ached. She missed them all so much.


"Lucy" I snapped out of my thoughts to see Emily smiling next to her with a plate of soup and warm bread in hand, "come sit with us please?" she asked nicely. I nodded my head in agreement and moved from the window seat. The only open space was next to Paul who moved his chair to allow me to sit down comfortably, "thanks" I said quietly, he merely grunted in response, which sent a flash of annoyance through her. However I ignored it and settled down to eat my pasta and sauce, which was made well and tasted great, I ate as if it was going to be taken from me, proper meals at both her aunt and uncles and the Dawn Treader were rare and only came about if she made them herself.

When she finished she moved to clear the table to find Emily shaking her head at her "I'll do this go sit down and relax" I shook my head "no you cooked the meal, I will do it, it's only fair" and I took the plates into the kitchen where I ran some hot water and mixed in some soap and started to clean the dishes, Sam brought in the rest of the dinner dishes and smiled at me. He walked out as Paul walked in.


Paul POV

When I saw her against the window I looked at her for a small while wondering what her mind was thinking but Sam just smiled and slapped the back of my head gesturing toward the television where the football game was playing, so I zoned out and watched the game. Why did she have to appear out of nowhere? I never wanted this whole wolf thing and now I have to deal with the throwbacks and her being in my life! I could have any girl I wanted and yet I had to get her!

I broke out of my trance when I smelt food on the table. I looked at Emily and she smiled nodding towards the food.

My feet moved quickly towards the food, as I inhaled the smell of pasta sauce, I immediately dug in and shovelled the food in my mouth, Lucy came up to the table but the only space was next to my chair and I had to move up so that she could sit down. I don't think I would have heard it without my wolf hearing but she thanked me, and I made a grunting noise as Sam elbowed me to acknowledge her.

I saw her eat as if I was going to be taken away from her, she finished quickly and took away all of the plates that were finished with, Emily followed her and Sam kicked me "you are an idiot" and he picked up the rest of the plates and walked off.

Emily came back and glared at me "she is nice, scare her away and I will hurt you, now get in that kitchen and help her!" she glared at me, which scared the shit out of me. I got us and grabbed my glass and plate and walked in to the small kitchen. She turned her back to me "if you have more dishes put them on the side, if you are going to stay make yourself useful and dry the dishes" I opened my mouth to protest and she turned and glared at me with her sweet face twisted into a scowl which was directed "well? Are you going to stand there like a useless lump or are you going to help?" she asked me, I picked up the towel and started to dry the dishes whilst she washed them to perfection.


I was engrossed in drying the dishes that when I felt some water hit my face and I saw Lucy smile at me trying to look innocent I flicked some water back at her and we gradually progressed to having an all out water fight in the kitchen, Sam walked in to see what was going on and slipped on the floor, Lucy and I burst on laughing and Sam glared at me "which of you two started this?" he demanded his back all wet. I couldn't speak for laughing so when I saw Sam glaring at me I quickly tried to stifle my laughter but failed miserably. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Lucy point her finger at me, I opened my mouth in shock as she convinced him to go easy on me because "everybody needs to have a bit of fun sometimes, he looked like he was angry so I cooled him off by flicking a little bit of water at him" she smiled at him. I gaped at her. He walked out shaking his head, I looked at her "what? I know how to handle people when they are annoyed" she smiled at me.


Lucy's POV

After dinner I said my good nights and changed into a night gown that reached my knees. I slipped off to sleep as easily as I usually did.

Dream

That night, the Dawn Treader reached the island where they would be spending the night.

Lucy climbed into a boat with Edmund, Caspian and Eustace and rowed over to the shores while other boats followed. As she stepped out onto the sand, she admired the beautiful island.

It was quiet, but not as quiet as the Lone Islands, for she could hear birds chirping and water rushing from what must have been a waterfall close by. She longed to look around, to find the source of rushing water and take a swim. Edmund and Caspian had told her to stay with them, and that they would explore in the morning. Instead, she helped to set up camp, and pulled herself under the blankets on the sand, finding it more comfortable than she thought it would be. She was placed between Edmund and Caspian, both boys sleeping a few feet away from her on their own blankets. A fire crackled a few feet away. She tossed her head to the side, looking where Caspian lay. He had already fallen asleep, he had been acting exhausted all day. She felt a tug of guilt at her heart, he must have been tired from staying up with her the previous night. She sat and admired him for a few moments. He looked peaceful, yet he also looked as if even in his sleep, he was ready to jump into action at the first sound of danger. She turned her head around to look at Edmund, he had fallen asleep already as well. It seemed as if everyone had except for her. She supposed it was because she had slept so much the night before. Lucy sighed, closing her eyes, and after at least another hour of trying, fell asleep.

"This ones female, lets take her." Lucy's eyes shot open as she felt a hand wrap around her mouth and a arm pick her up. She looked around frantically, no one seemed to be there. But someone had picked her up, and was carrying her off of the beach and deeper into the forest. She tried her hardest to scream but the hand on her mouth was silencing her. Who or whatever had her was strong enough to carry her. She tried to use her hands to pry the invisible hand off of her mouth so that she could scream, but they were snatched and held behind her back. After what seemed like forever of kicking and attempting to scream, Lucy was dropped into the grass. She stood up, grabbing her dagger and pointing it at whatever her enemy was. "Won't be needing that." She heard, and she felt her dagger be ripped from her hands and thrown on the ground a few feet away.

She moved to pick it up but was thrown backward by some invisible force. It seemed as if their was more than one of the creatures that had taken her. "What are you?" She asked, unsure of her surroundings. One of them spoke "We're big, scary creatures!" then another "Were really intimidating!" then another from another direction "Yeah, if you could see us you would be really intimidated!" Lucy shook her head, that wasn't much of an answer, but she let it go"What do you want?" she asked them "For you to do what we say!" Lucy crossed her arms. "Or what?" She asked.

"Death!" Her arms dropped, and she took a step back, her mouth opening in surprise and fear. She blinked a few times, hoping to wake up from a crazy dream. She thought for a moment.

"Well I won't do you very much good dead now will I?" She heard breath catch, and then there were a few moments of silence. "Fine! Then we'll just kill your friends!" Once again, Lucy was at a loss for words. She closed her eyes, thinking of Edmund, the crew, of Caspian... "What do you want me to do?" they replied quickly "Enter the house of the oppressor!"

"What house?" She asked, annoyed. As she finished, a door appeared out of nowhere, opening and letting light shine on the grass. She stepped forward, peeking inside "Your gonna go upstairs, find the book of spells and recite the spell that makes the unseen seen!" She turned to whatever was behind her. "Why don't you do it yourselves?"Silence again.

"We can't read" Lucy rolled her eyes at them "Why didn't you say so?" She turned back to the door "beware the oppressor!" they called after her, she nodded before taking a deep breath, and stepping inside the door. It shut behind her loudly.
