A/N Sorry it's been taking me forever to update.
The fight began. There was really no way to stop these already dead men. Peter and Ed had just started cutting the limbs off of them, when Lucy suddenly came from below deck.
"Lucy! I told you to stay hidden!" I shouted at her, swiping at a pirate as I made my way to her. "We have to get you below deck!" I grabbed her arm and started to shove her back, but she held her ground.
"No, Su! I saw Aslan! He told me to come up here." I stopped pushing her when she said this.
"What else did he say?" I asked. A dead pirate had been closing in on us, but I hadn't noticed. Caspian jumped down in front of Lucy and I and cut the skeleton's head off.
He turned and gave me a look that said 'Be careful' and I nodded, before he ran off to jump into the middle of the fight.
"He didn't say anything else." She said with an innocent tone. I groaned and told her to stay behind me. "Really Su, I can fight now." She rolled her eyes at me.
"Lucy, these men are the undead. They can't die. You can't really fight them off, see," I pointed to the guy that Caspian had cut the head off. He'd picked his head up and was trying to get it to stay on his shoulders.
"Ew, that's creepy." Lucy responded.
"Uh, yeah." I said matter-of-fact. I started beating the zombies back with my bow as I tried to get Lucy and I onto the bridge when I felt bony fingers wrap in my hair.
"Not so fast there girly," The Captain of the undead said to me, pulling my head back. I heard Lucy shriek and could see another man holding her. I elbowed the Captain in the rib cage and felt the bone snap. He pulled on my hair harder.
"You little witch!" He spit in my face. "You'll pay for that." He pulled a dagger out and held the blade to my neck. They proceeded to drag us off our ship kicking and screaming.
Caspian hadn't even noticed.
Caspian's point of view
"They're retreating, we've won!" Edmund shouted as the last of the men scurried off our ship. We all hooted and hollered. As their ship retreated and got farther away, I noticed Susan wasn't here.
"Where's Susan?" Peter came up, echoing my thoughts.
"Lucy had come up here during the fight; she must have taken her back below deck." I said it more for myself then for Peter, the feeling of dread falling over me.
"Alright, let's go look for them." Peter said, somewhat concerned. As the two of us started to walk towards the back of the ship Ed came up and asked what we were doing. We told him, and he agreed to help look.
"I think I know where Lu's hiding place is, anyway." The three of us went downstairs and as soon as we were below beck Gael came running up to us.
"Where's Lucy?" Peter asked.
"Sh—she went upstairs awhile ago." Gael answered nervously.
"And she never came back down?" Peter asked again, worried.
"N-no…" Gael stuttered out.
"It's alright; you go find your father." I told the little girl. She ran up and out.
"Well, they aren't' down here, or above deck." Peter said angrily.
"You know what that means then, don't you?" Edmund asked rhetorically. I cursed and we all ran back up stairs.
Susan's point of view
"Well, did Aslan happen to mention the fact that if you came up stairs we'd get kidnapped?" I asked Lucy as we sat in the ships holding cell, tied to the wall.
"Nope, he kind of left that part out." She replied sheepishly. "But, I mean, there has to be a reason for this. He wouldn't have told me to go upstairs to put me in danger."
"No, I guess not… Still though." I shrugged and continued pulling at the ropes. "Hopefully I can get us free of these things."
"Why do you think they took us?" Lucy asked.
"Ransom maybe." I answered.
"Yeah, I guess they are pirates after all. The only thing they want is money…right?"
"I hope so," I finally tugged free of the ropes.
I hope you guys liked it. I already have the next few chapters written, but reviews help me update faster!
S.R.M.
