Sorry for it being so late. I've been writing my own story aside form this one and I'm in school, plus Pottermore. It's a lot. I want to warn you this isn't a happy chapter but the story does get a happy ending. Thanks for reading!

Oh right after this in about two hours I will update again.

Chapter 5

I was walking down the hallways of the castle. It had been two weeks in the castle. I haven't been spending time with my family; most of my time is for training, Edmund, Lucy, and Susan. I was walking down the hallways because I had heard the servants running and Susan yelling to get her bows.

I knew it couldn't be about Edmund pranking us. Since he had gone off to some battle that was happening at the left of the countryside.

I went to the courtyard saw Lucy standing looking at a far away tree. I got closer and saw it an army walking our way. My mouth opened it looked like thousands and thousands of soldiers.

"The castle is on alert and prepared." I heard Sir Simon say behind us. I instantly thought about my family and turned towards him.

"My family?" I asked. He nodded and pointed towards a carriage that was pulling away.

"They only took Arthur. He's the youngest and has a disability." He explained. Lucy turned towards him and started walking down to the castle doors. I followed close behind.

I felt better knowing that Arthur was safe. I mean he could fight but he wouldn't be able to hear the men coming behind him to attack.

"Why are they here?" I asked as we entered the castle and ran to the weapons room. .

"Archeland is mad about an agreement."Simon said getting two swords for himself.

"So they decide to go to war?" I asked him getting my bow and arrows. I took an extra pair of bows just in case and three pairs of arrows. Went to the next aisle to look for twin daggers.

"Things haven't been good." He said as he gave me a light sword. I looked at it.

"You're going to need it. " He said. I nodded it and took it. I had gotten sword training before.

"What about my sisters?" I asked not sure if they have had training.

"They've all been trained. They're prepared and waiting for you." Lucy said as I picked my daggers. We ran out of the room to meet Susan who was running with bow in hand.

"There getting closer. The walls have been closed but they'll break threw soon. We should all spread over the castle." She shouted taking us up the stairs which where filled with people.

At the top of the stairs was one narrow hallway. It had only two doors and they where each on one ends of the hallway. The stairs where positioned right in the middle.

My sister's waiting with there weapons on. Each had the same as me. None of them looked scared not even Helen. I nodded at them and took there side. We've been prepared for this. We wouldn't have been in this situation two weeks ago but we were now.

Susan stood in front of us. "You four will stay up here. You'll be the only ones in here. Stay together." We all nodded.

Susan looked at me and said.

"Don't die. Edmund would cause a bigger war if you did."

My mouth dropped but I picked it up. Knowing that he loved me, he had told me already. They all left, leaving me with my sisters.

"Take out your bows and be prepared." Charlotte said taking an arrow and positioned it on her bow. I nodded and did the same.

We stayed in the same spot for a couple of minute's, just standing and hearing. We started hearing men shouting.

"They've broken threw! Get in your postions!"

I turned my head to the side at Grace. She was listening closely and edging closer to the stairs. She straightened up and asked.

"What are our positions?"I saw Charlotte shrug.

They didn't give us many instructions….

"Maybe we should spilt up." Helen suggested, I saw Grace eyes widen with terror.

"I'm not going alone!" She protested rather loudly. I glared at her.

"Would you keep you're voice down! Or do you want them to hear us." I told her sharply.

"Look maybe I and Helen should take the west room. Then you and Grace can take the east." Charlotte said already walking to the west room.

"They told us to stay together." Grace told her grabbing her hand. I looked at Charlotte she rolled her eyes. I was taken aback; Charlotte would have never done that to Grace before. Has she really changed so much in two weeks?

"Technically we all be paired up. Think for once Grace." Charlotte said sharply.

Grace seemed hurt but didn't let go of Charlotte's hand. Helen took Grace's hand off and led Charlotte away to the west room. Grace stood there watching them leave. I didn't know what to do in fact I felt alone. It felt weird not having the Pevensie's around.

I looked down at the floor noticing the lion craved on the floor. I looked up and for the first time noticed where I was at. This was Peter's and Beatrice's part of the castle. It would explain why the stairs where so elegantly craft. But why where there two rooms on each side of the hallway?

"Let's go." I heard Grace say taking me away from the spot I was in and to the east room.

Once inside the east room I knew it was Beatrice's by the way it was painted pink and had dresses everywhere.

"This is Beatrice's room." I thought out loud.

"Yes, she's been sleeping her for two years now." Grace said looking at one of the dressed. I looked up curiously.

"Why?" I asked.

Grace shrugged. "Peter has been having an affair for years and asked her to sleep here instead."

My mouth fells open. I couldn't believe it! No wonder Beatrice is always so cruel.

"You didn't know?" Grace asked. I shook my head.

"Well maybe it was kept from you. So that you wouldn't run away from Edmund…" She commented.

"What's that suppose to mean?" I asked her outraged.

"What? You think Edmund would stay with you only?" She asked me. I just stood there.

"Especially since you can't have kids." She told me. My heart stopped. I felt tears come to my eyes, how could Grace throw this in my face.

I looked at her.

"Who are you?" I asked sharply. She seemed taken aback for a moment but just turned away from me.

We waited in the room trying to ignore the tension in the air. We didn't speak until we heard screams and swords clashing.

"They arrived." Grace said opening the door a little to look outside. I went next to her side and looked outside. There was no one in the hallway but you could see people running across the bottom of the stairs.

We stood there looking. I caught a glimpse of two men walking up the stairs. I squinted unable to see there uniform clearly there the darkness.

"Open the door a little more." I whispered to her. She did as I said I look once more and quickly realized they weren't Narnia's. I pulled back quickly and closed the door sliently.

"They aren't Narnian." I told Grace. We stepped back from the door and brought out our bows and an arrow once again.

I turned to Grace her eyes where wide. I heard a door fall and a yell. I didn't waste time I opened the door and ran out. Running to the west wing of the hallway.

Grace followed close behind shooting men who came up the stairs. When I got there I saw Helen being pulled down by two men, Charlotte nowhere to be seen. I pulled my bow up, aimed, and let the arrow go. It hit the men holding her right arm right in the heart.

The men fell down. Quickly the other one threw Grace across the room and ran at me. I pulled my bow up and aimed but was punched in the face before I could even let the arrow go. Pain spread threw my face and I felt blood fall from my nose.

If the enemy is closer than a meter and aware of you, use your sword. I remembered Edmund say once before…

I grabbed my sword and pulled it out. I lunched at the man, who quickly met my sword with his. But I knew better I twist my sword so that it would go in a circular motion. This made the other mans sword fly out of his hands.

He stood there looking at me surprised.

"RUN!" I heard Grace shout at him. He fled the room quickly forgetting his sword.

Grace went to the closet and looked around. I put my sword back in its place.

"Where's Charlotte?" I shouted at Helen.

Helen got up from the floor and whispered. "They took her…"

I felt my heart stop but before I could react Grace was running out the door. Helen took out her sword and followed. I took a deep breath and ran out behind them taking out an arrow. We ran right into a war zone.

Servants had already gone up the stairs and were fighting. I catch Alice being cornered by a man twice her side. I tried shooting the men but Grace pulled my hands away and shook her head.

"We need to find Charlotte." She said and pulled me to run down the stairs.

Once we got down we could barely see down the hallways of how many people there where. The worst part is that those that had died where on the floor so we couldn't walk either.

"Shoot!" I ordered them and took the led. I quickly shoot a man who was taking down and old cook. I helped the cook up from the floor; he had tears in his eyes.

"Go Miss Emma…" He whispered, I looked at him with tears. "I'm a lost case." He said.

"No your not." I told him simply, he shook his head.

"Yes I am. You need to help you're sister…" The man responded. I squinted my eyes threw the tears.

"Charlotte?" I asked him gripping him tighter.

He nodded "I saw them take her to the throne room."

I felt hope flicker in me, I felt the men knee's give up on him. I held him up.

"You're coming with me." I told him. I saw a small smile on his face.

"You can't save everyone. Your young and have a family. I'm old and have no one. I will die fighting for this Narnia, but you must go Emma." He told me giving my hand a squeeze.

I didn't want to leave the cook there but I was reminded of Arthur and Charlotte. I can't die now and he asked me to go…

I nodded and put the men gently. I stood up and looked around, I saw Helen sword fighting. I ran towards her and slashed the man. She looked at me but I just grabbed her hand and hurried her towards the throne room.

"Why are we going to the throne room!" She shouted shooting the two men in our way.

"Charlotte's in there." I yelled opening the doors to the kitchen which was a short cut to the throne room. We ran threw the kitchen which was deserted and quickly got to the door to the throne room. We wasted no time getting but we didn't see anything.

"Are you sure it was the throne room?" Helen asked me. I nodded and went up the steps to were the throne's where. I passed a hand on Edmunds one and felt sadness hit me. Had I just fallen in a trap?

I heard Helen's footsteps around the room. "Do you hear that?"

She asked me. I looked up at her "What?"

She looked around again. "That whimpering…"

We stood quietly and I heard it. A soft, hurting sound of someone crying. I turned around and heard it again.

"It's coming from behind the curtains." I told Helen softly. I heard her walk up the steps to me, I looked at her doubtfully. She took her hand out and pulled the curtains back. I almost screamed at what I saw.

"Charlotte! Beatrice!" Helen shouted getting to her knees. I stood there looking down at there half naked bodies tied up against two chairs.

"Emma!" I heard Charlotte say. Slowly I walked forward and took both the ropes out of there hands so that they be free. Once she was free Charlotte launched herself at me. I hesitated to hug her back.

"W-what happned?" I asked unsure if I wanted to know. I felt Charlotte break down in tears and I knew she couldn't talk. I looked up at Beatrice who was barely able to stand up.

Her body had purple bruises and she had a black eye, she had obviously been attacked worse than Charlotte.

"They raped us." Beatrice said simply looking around for her cloth. I heard Helen break down in tears and I felt my owns coming down my face.

I feel horrible now for doing that to Charlotte but there's a point to it. So don't go get an army to attack me, it all turns out well... for Charlotte at least. KIDDING! Haha bye.
