When we got back to the camp, I went over to Lucy. She was off by herself a little ways, still reading. I went and lay down next to her.
"Yes?" She asked, setting the book aside. I turned to look at her.
"Caspian told me about a dream you had…one where you saw Aslan?" I asked quietly.
"Yes…" She waited for me to continue.
"He told me that you said that Aslan said that we'd be faced with a decision, and that two destinies' would change the future of Narnia forever… did he say anything else?"
"Well…" She sighed deeply before continuing. "I fear that this will be our last time, forever. No more Narnia, for all of us. I'm guessing that the decision the four of us will have will be staying here for ever, or staying in our world forever." She finished, looking at the sand.
"Lucy, this is our world." She still wouldn't look me in the eye.
"You know what I mean…" We faced each other in silence. "Will you stay with me until I fall asleep?" She asked, settling onto her blanket more comfortably.
"Sure, Lu." I cuddled up next to her, and soon after, we were both asleep.
Something kicked me in the side, and I was jolted awake. I looked up to see Lucy hovering in the air, pulling at something that was covering her mouth. I looked down in the sand to see two huge foot prints.
It took me a second to register everything, but I jumped up, picked up some near by firewood, and starting swinging it at the leg of the thing holding Lucy.
"Ow!" I heard a voice say. Just as I started to yell for help, something clamped over my mouth and picked me up. I was kicking my legs back at it, but it didn't seem to care. They carried us away silently.
Caspian's point of view
I woke up before the others, thinking that I could steal a few moments alone with Susan. I walked over to where she and Lucy had fallen asleep to see them gone, and huge footprints surrounding their blanket. I also saw one of the girl's footprints turning into a drag mark.
"Peter, Edmund, wake up!" I shouted, causing everyone to wake up. "The girls are gone!" Peter and Edmund jumped up at that, and came running over. Reepicheep and Drinian were close behind. Drinian observed the foot prints and then said,
"They say this island is haunted by invisible creatures. I guess I forgot to mention that."
"I suppose you did," Peter said, annoyed.
"Gather your weapons men; we are to go look for Queen Susan the Gentle and Queen Lucy the Valiant this moment." I commanded. The tone in my voice must have stirred something up in the men, because they all ran around like mad dogs, trying to get their swords.
In less then five minutes, we were gone.
Susan's point of view
As they carried us further into the forest, the more crazy things became. They carried us to this hilly place that had what looked to be a garden around it.
They dropped us on the ground. Lucy jumped up and pulled out her dagger, but they quickly pulled it out of her hands and knocked her back on the ground.
"There is no escape," Came a voice, a very deep voice.
"We're very scary," Another voice said
"What are you?" I asked, scrambling over to Lucy.
"We are terrifying invisible beasts!" A voice shouted quickly.
"If you could see us you would be really intimidated." The deep voiced one said.
"Oh, you forgot to mention," The other one muttered before shouting, "We all are very large!"
"What do you want?" Lucy asked. It didn't take long for them to reply with,
"You'll do what we ask," They talked amongst themselves, and I couldn't really make out what they were saying. Lucy and I stood up.
"Or what?" Lucy said bravely.
"Or we'll kill you," One replied. Lucy scoffed.
"We wouldn't be much good to you dead." She pointed out. They seemed to think that over.
"Alright, then we'll just kill your friends!" One shouted.
"Oh, good idea," The deep voice one said.
"What do you want with us?" I asked, hoping for a clear answer. And a clear answer is what I got,
"You will enter the house of The Oppressor." The deep voice one said, pushing us both forward.
"What house?" I asked. I heard a few steps and then one said,
"This one," And the scenery seemed to open up like doors, and light from the house shone out. Right through the door was a staircase.
"Upstairs, you will find the book of Incantations," the deep voiced one explained. "Recite the spell that makes the unseen seen."
"Well put, Chief. Well put." The other one commented.
"Very," Another chimed in. And then they were all saying "Yeah," We stood there, looking inside.
"Well, go on. We haven't got all day." The other one said annoyed.
"Remember what will happen to your friends," The one called Chief said.
"You've been warned," The annoyed one finished. Then they were all saying, "Yeah" again. Lucy and I shared a look.
"Why don't you do it yourselves?" I asked smartly. It took them a second, as if they were embarrassed. Then Chief said,
"We can't read." Then another said,
"Can't write either, as a matter of fact."
"Or add," Another one added. Then there was a faint, "Yeah".
"Why didn't you just say so?" Lucy asked gently. Their next words came from Chief.
"Beware the Oppressor."
"He's very oppressive." The other one said, scared.
"'What make's the unseen seen' got it?" Chief reminded us.
"Don't forget!" The other one shouted. Lucy and I looked at each other again, and I took a deep breath. Then we turned towards the door and walked in.
