This is my version of Prince Caspian. It is based on the events that took place in the movie not the book. This version follows the Pevensies and Peter's friend Ella as they try to save Narnia from Miraz and the Tellmarine invasion.
-A Drop of Adam's Blood-
Ella stormed through the How searching for Caspian. Perhaps he could commiserate with her over Peter. She paused briefly in the hallway that led to the stone table. Her ears perked when she heard strange chanting coming from the room.
Ella moved closer to see what was going on. She ducked behind one of the rocks and watched as a strange creature and a wolf drew a circle in the ground as chanted in a language Ella had never heard before.
Caspian stood in the center of the circle watching the event take place. Ella spied Nikabrik standing just behind him, an odd smile on his face. The bird like creature pulled a wand out of its cloak and thrust it into the ground. Ella realized when the ice began to form whom the wand belonged.
Ella rose quickly as a wall of ice began to form between to pillars and ran from the room. As soon as she was out of earshot Ella began shouting for the Pevensies. She rounded a corner quickly and ran right into Peter, Edmund, Lucy, and Trumpkin.
"Oh thank God. You have to come quickly there are strange creatures with Caspian in the stone table room. They have the white witch's wand. I think they mean to bring her back," Ella gasped pulling Peter and Edmund along behind her.
Peter and Edmund tore down the hallway past her. Ella, Lucy, and Trumpkin followed behind them quickly. Ella pulled Lucy up when she stumbled and they continued after the boys as fast as their feet would carry them.
Lucy immediately ran to help Trumpkin in his fight. Ella moved out of the way and grabbed a rock. She had no weapon to fight with but she threw the rock at the wolf the same moment Edmund cut its leg.
Ella watched Edmund fight with the wolf briefly before her eyes landed on Caspian. He was holding his arm out to the witch, a small cut on his palm. "Caspian no stop," Ella shouted making her way toward him.
Peter realized what was happening and pushed Caspian aside. Ella gasped when Caspian hit the ground, she feared Peter had hurt the Prince.
"Get away from him," Peter shouted pointing his sword at the Witch. She drew back briefly before smiling at him.
"Peter dear," Jaddis said. Ella froze when the witch spoke, her voice sent chills down Ella's spine. "I've missed you. Come just one drop. You know you can't do it alone."
Ella could see Peter falter. He lowered his sword as he stared at the witch. "No Peter, don't listen to her. She's wrong," Ella shouted.
Peter didn't turn, his gaze remained fixed on the White Witch. Ella climbed over the stone table nimbly trying to stop him. Suddenly a sword pierced through the ice. The witch arched back in pain, just before the ice shattered. Peter ducked down as Caspian stepped back out of the way.
The wall of ice collapsed to reveal Edmund. Peter stared at Edmund, his expression impossible to read.
"I know," Edmund said, "You had it sorted." He walked away leaving Caspian and Peter standing at the foot of the broken wall.
Both turned slowly meeting Ella's gaze and then Susan's. Ella watched as Susan walked angrily from the room. Caspian left after glancing again at Peter.
Ella stood perfectly still waiting for Peter to move or speak. When he didn't Ella climbed down off the stone table and looked at him angrily. "I don't understand you Peter Pevensie. I am dragged into a land that I thought was pretend by you and your family, we are fighting in a war to protect creatures that are not supposed to exist, and you are acting like a complete ass! I don't care if you're High King Peter the Magnificent. You have been anything but magnificent as of late and I have had it! You are mean to Caspian, Edmund, and now me!"
Ella took a deep breath, Peter opened his mouth to speak but Ella cut him off. "I'm not finished. I was so happy when we first got here. I finally got to share in Narnia and all its wonder with you. But you have changed and you don't even realize it. I don't know the person you've become and I don't like him either. I am trying to help you, but every time you tell me to mind my own business. That is what I am going to do. Send me home. I don't want to be here any longer and you obviously don't want me here. So please just send me home." Ella turned away from Peter waiting for him to answer.
Peter ran his hand through his hair. "There isn't a way to go home Ella," Peter said softly.
"What?" Ella demanded as she spun around to look at Peter. "We can't go home? Ever?"
"Maybe, I don't know, the way we left last time won't work anymore. I don't know how we are going to get back. But if that is what you want I'll see what I can do." Peter said, his shoulders sagged and his face was drawn. "I don't want you to leave Ella."
"Maybe you should of thought about that before you turned into such a royal jerk," Ella snapped before storming out of the room. How could he possibly think she would want to stay after the way he was treating her? After the way he was treating everyone?
