I sat there with my head leaning on the stone wall while my hands were cuffed. Beside me sat what is supposed was a satyr and on the other side was Lucy who had a frightened expression on her face. I reached out taking her hand in mine with a reassuring smile. I was also frightened, more than I'd ever been in my whole life, but I had to stay strong to show support to Lucy and Eustace. After all I was all they had at the moment, at least until Drinian's men showed up. I only hoped that it wouldn't be to late. After all dawn has passed a long time ago, they must be on the island already. Our attention was caught by screaming coming from one of the carriages. On it was a group of people headed to the port. A man and a little girl ran after them desperately. Where were they taking these people? By the worried faces of the people around me I knew it was nothing good. I sat silently and watched as they boarded the people into a small boat letting them sail deeper into the sea. Are they setting the free? But their faces were occupied with fear, telling me I was wrong. A dark cloud appeared over the sea and along the surface a green mist, if I was seeing alright, was creeping towards the boat. Soon it effulged the boat and it's people hiding them from our sight. Once the mist was gone the people where nowhere in sight.

"Where did they go?" I asked nobody in particular, but the satyr beside me answered.

"Nobody knows, it's a sacrifice... If you're not sold you will be most likely given to the mist!" he explained making my eyes widen. I was startled by a voice of one of the slave traders as people gathered around us.

"Let the bidding begin!" people around me were being dragged around like dolls when suddenly one of the men grabbed Lucy beside me making me scream.

"Lucy!" I yelled her name trying to hold on to her hand.

"Elizabeth!" she screamed frightened. We were still holding on when the man managed to pull Lucy away from me. As she was put up on the small stage so everyone could see her the men started exclaiming prices they would pay for her.

"One hindered and fifty!" a man exclaimed, but no one tried outnumbering him.

"Anymore bids?" the man standing beside Lucy grabbed one of the sold signs putting it around her neck. "Sold!" he exchanged the money with the man pulling her to the side. Then he came over to the ones that were left, pulling me up to my feet.

"And now, who'll kick of the bidding? She looks fine might I add?" the men eyed me over making me gag. They again started yelling out amounts of money they would pay and they were pretty high. But suddenly one exclaimed two hundred making my eyes widen. Somehow I knew, I knew I was sold... And that was proved as I had the sold sign around the neck and was handed to my... owner...

"Now we'll have so much fun..." he whispered in my ear making me shake with fear. I knew what he meant. Looking back over at the stage I saw Eustace being dragged up. No! I tried figting my way out of the man's iron grip causing him to back hand me making me stop.

"I'll take them off your hands... I'll take them all of your hands!" a firmiliar voice exclaimed making a smile appear on my face. About time! All the crew of the Dawn Treader has by now taken off all their cloaks and were fighting with the slave traders. Seeing this, the man holding me pulled me the other way. He pulled me up a flight of stairs even though I tried resisting.

"Do you want me to hit you again?! I won't be as gentle this time..." he warned pulling me onto him roughly. He was about to say something else when he fell to the floor fainting. I looked up to see Caspian holding a wooden stick.

"You have no idea how happy I am to see you." I told him making him smile.

"Are you alright?" he asked looking me over as he took another step towards me. His eyes stopped at my cheek. "Who did that?" he asked worriedly.

"That's not important, for now we have to get out of here..." I commented making him nod. He grabbed my hand gently as we started running down the steps by which I came. We ran over to Edmund and an older man as another group of traders attacked us. Though as I fought one of them I noticed a pair of keys by his belt. Taking off my sold sign I hit him across the head with it making him fall to the floor. I grabbed the keys looking over at Caspian and Edmund.

"Caspian!" I yelled out and as he turned to look at me I threw him the keys, but not before unlocking my own shackles so my hands and neck were now free. He looked over at me to thank me when his eyes widened.

"Watch out!" he exclaimed making me turn around and duck in the last second as another one of the men swung a plank of wood at my head. I kicked him with my leg causing him to fall through a wooden fence to one of the roofs. After some time, the fight was one with the help of others.

"Elizabeth!" Edmund exclaimed catching my attention causing me to turn around and look at him with a smile as he ran over to me and Caspian.

"Are you alright?" I asked him worriedly making a smile appear on his face for a short amount of time before he saw my cheek. His eyes now held anger as he looked around.

"Who did that?! I'm going to kill them!" he exclaimed making me smile.

"There's no need for that, it's just a bruise... It will heal!" I told him. "I'm just glad you're alright, both of you!" I commented looking between him and Caspian.

"Come on let's find Lucy and Eustace!" Caspian said before we moved back to the main court where we saw Lucy and Eustace talking to Reepicheep. Lucy had a big smile on her face, and there was also a hit of a small one on Eustace's face as well.

"Lu!" Edmund exclaimed catching her attention as she turned around to look at us. Her smile only grew wider as she ran into her brother's arms.

"Thank God, you're ok!" she exclaimed. Suddenly our attention was cough by all the villagers starting to clap for us.

"I think it's time to get back to the ship, your highness!" Drinian spoke as he appeared by Caspian's side. We started making our way down to the long boats and I couldn't be any more happier to be going back to the ship at the moment. We were followed by the cheers and clapping of the people around us making everyone smile.

"Your majesty! Your majesty!" our attention was caught by a man running over towards us. Not knowing who he was Caspian pushed me behind him protectively as Drinian stopped the man. As I looked at his face I noticed it was the man who was trying to save the people that were given to the mist before.

"My wife was taken just this morning!" the man exclaimed. I put a hand oh Caspian's which was now at the hilt of his sword. As he looked over at me I nodded reassuringly at him as he let go of the sword.

"It's alright Drinian!" he commented as Drinian let go of the man who was now followed by his daughter.

"I beg you take me with you..." the man pleaded making me fell so bad for him. He had lost his wife, she was gone who knows where and there was no knowing if she was alive or dead. I don't know if I lost someone I loved in those circumstances.

"I want to come!" the little girl grabbed his hand her eyes begging him to let her go. She must be scared...

"Poor child!" I muttered to Edmund who sighed knowing well what I was talking about as he started at the scene in front of us.

"No, Gael, stay with your aunt!" he told he looking back at his daughter.

"I'm a fine sailor, been on the seas my whole life..." he stated hoping it would go in his favour.

"Of course, you must!" Caspian put a hand on his shoulder before the man turned around to look at his daughter as he spoke to her telling her his final goodbyes.

"My king!" Lord Bern met us at the long boats carrying a sword in his hands. "This was given to me by your father. I hid it safely in a cave all these years!"

"That's an old Narnian sword!" Edmund exclaimed amazed by it. And he was right, it truly did look old.

"There are seven such swords, gifts from Aslan to protect Narnia! Your father entrusted them to us." Lord Bern explained as he handed Caspian the sword. "Here, take it! And may it protect you!" The citizens clapped once Caspian took the sword from Bern's hands.

"Thank you, my lord! And we shall find you your lost citizens." Caspian stated before walking away towards Edmund.

"Edmund..." Caspian handed my cousin the sword patting his back knowing Edmund needed it more than he. After all he had High King Peter's sword as his own. I smiled at Edmund as he admired the sword in his hands. I walked over to one of the boats about the board it as Caspian extended his hand to help me inside. I smiled at him as I took it and climbed into the boat sitting down beside him as the four sailors rowed the boats towards the ship. I looked back at the stone walls of the Loan Islands a part of me happy we were leaving the place. But I decided to forget of the events that happened with the slave traders for now knowing we were safe again...

A bit of a shorter chapter, I know... Sorry, but I thought it would be longer when I decided to split this into two chapters... I promise the next one will be longer!
