Author's note: I don't own Prince Caspian and technically I don't own this plot. I do own Ella though!! THanks to those who have reviewed and without giving to much away I can say that my ending is definetly going to be different from the movie and that we will get to see more of Caspian and Susan!
Chapter 4
After changing clothes the Pevensies and Ella made their way down to the beach. Ella drug behind with Lucy as the others rushed ahead.
"Drop him," Susan ordered after firing an arrow. Peter and Edmund drew their swords as they all rushed over to see what was happening. Two men were holding a much smaller man over the water.
The men dropped the dwarf into the water and Edmund followed Peter down to save the man. The men in the boat went for their crossbow but Susan was faster and caused them both to fall out of the small boat.
Peter dove into the water and came back up with the dwarf. Edmund quickly pulled the boat to shore as the girls ran over to help Peter. Lucy pulled out a small dagger and cut the man's hands free. He pulled down the gag around his mouth and spit out some water.
"Drop him? That's the best you can come up with," the small man asked angrily.
"A simple thank you would suffice," Susan replied.
"They were doing fine drowning me without your help," the man replied.
"Are all the people in Narnia as angry as him," Ella whispered to Peter. Peter contained his laughter and shook his head quickly.
"Maybe we should have let them," Peter said to the man.
"Why were they trying to kill you anyway," Lucy asked curiously.
"They're Telmarines, it's what they do," the man replied.
"Telmarines?" Edmund asked. "In Narnia?"
"Where have you been for the last few hundred years?" the man asked growing irritated with the Pevensies and Ella.
"It's a bit of a long story," Lucy finally said. Susan handed Peter his sword.
The man did a double take and looked more closely at the Pevensies. "Oh you've got to be kidding me," the man said. "You're it? You're the Kings and Queens of Old?"
"I'm High King Peter the magnificent," Peter said extending his hand.
"I think you could have left off the last bit," Ella said through her laughter.
"Probably," the man said laughing too.
"You might be surprised," Peter replied pulling his sword out.
"Oh you don't want to do that boy," the small man said.
"Not me, him," Peter said looking at Edmund. Peter offered his sword to the dwarf as Edmund pulled out his own.
The dwarf let the end of the sword drop into the sand, but Ella was not fooled. He immediately swung at Edmund and hit him in the nose with his elbow. Lucy cried out as Edmund hit the man lightly on the back.
It didn't take long for Edmund to unarm the man after that. Edmund pointed his sword down a the man across his shoulder as the man dropped to his knees.
"Maybe that horn worked after all," the man finally said.
"What horn," Susan asked quickly.
